While the world seems to be in love with the idea of tiny houses and minimalism, many of us simply can't purge it all and start from nothing. Yet a home with too much stuff is difficult to maintain, so where do we begin?

Feng Shui and decluttering shift the energy of your place, which in turn shifts the energy and circumstances of your life. You might have heard the quote, “Home is not a place, it’s a feeling”, but how can you make sure this feeling is as good as it can possibly be? Your home should be your safe place, but for some, it feels like a place where they are stuck in old thoughts, stubborn habits, and stalled life goals.

Great
Loved it. Lots of super simple but super practical advice.
Reason for 4 stars for the story is that a lot of the content is very similar to her other book, “Decluttering At The Speed Of Life.” However, I still found it to be very helpful, and any repetition just reinforced what I had learnt from that book.

The little voice in my head that helps me manage my home
I've listened to Dana's podcast for a long time now, and while the concepts in this book are those I've previously heard on her podcast, I love that I now have them all in one place. I listen to her coach me through my daily tasks and it motivates me to stay on top of the basics . It opens up so much more time, energy and life in our home when we're not dealing with daily chaos. Thanks so much Dana.

So helpful
I've been listening to the podcast for a while. I love Dana's accent, and tone, and this book is ideal to listen to while cleaning. My house has improved so much since I started seriously trying to implement her simple techniques. If you're looking to improve you're already tidy home, this book isn't for you, but if you're drowning in clutter, and eating take out because the thought of cleaning the kitchen before you eat it too daunting, if you make excuses not to have people over because you're ashamed of your housekeeping, this book is for you.

Too basic
I found the contents is very basic, probably too basic. Most of the this book only trying to encourage people start doing you chore on time. For people already put your dish in dishwasher every day , or do laundry regularly, you will not get much from this book.

Can’t get enough of Dana K. White
Super easy, super life changing & super inspirational!! Love Dana and I wish I’d know about her before I read “spark joy”. Emotionally sorting your “stuff” is just not for real people. Dana releases you from the emotions and has practical steps to help you get your life under control. She’s even funny!! Imagine that laughing at your own crazy mess and sorting it out at the same time. Lighten up and get Dana on your team!

I needed this 20 years ago!
I have read multiple books of this kind, done the challenges, posted embarrassing photos etc
finally an author who gets why nothing worked for me and has a solution!
my house, washing, kitchen and crazy-ladyness is much easier to handle. I am not overwhelmed by seeing everything at once. I can see what I can get rid of quickly and so cleaning is less of an enormous task.
Doing the washing loads at once and putting away (over the weekend for me) has made an enormous difference to my week. I don't have to look at the washing everyday anymore.
I love you Dana!
