Daily tasks make a difference!
I really enjoyed this book. I have been listening to the podcast for several years and the book just collates a lot of the wisdom from the podcast into easy digestible chunks. I have found the daily tasks have helped me to manage my home, although I am still not convinced laundry day works yet.

Love love love it
This book was written for a person like me who doesn’t see mess until someone is coming to visit and can’t quite get my head around the relentless daily nature of maintenance.
If in doubt, get the book!

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.

Love, love, love this book!
As someone who gives zero Fs about cleaning and has a million better things to do than organise and clean my house, I freaking love this book.
It's realistic and recognises that most cleaning and organising books are written by people who love to clean and organise. Therefore those books are not very helpful for creative, sentimental people whose first reaction is to keep something that they don't know what to do with, rather than get rid of it.
So yup, if you feel like you're drowning in stuff and can never get on top of your housework, this is the book for you!

Simple, Practical, Non Judgemental
I found this book more concise than the podcast, great to focus on a chapter as needed or read the whole book. focuses a lot on mind set change and I found the mindset of the author similar to mine and how the most efficient way isn't always the most efficient way if you never do it.

Funny and so relatable
I put off buying this book for a while, thinking I can learn all I need to know from YouTube. But, Dana, this book is outstanding. Captured my attention from beginning to end. You are so funny. You normalise how so many people think and feel about the whole daunting housework saga. You’ve done an incredible job speaking the text, with humour, friendliness, drama… not to mention your gorgeous voice and accent. I would love to listen to you on other books that aren’t your own! I tried reading a few paragraphs that I’d found so funny in the audio - but when I read them, they didn’t have all your humorous dramatisation and it was just not the same! Highly recommend this book , especially as an audiobook - even if you know in theory how to keep your home in order… but not quite in practice. Thanks Dana. I’ll definitely be checking out your newest book.

Start with dishes;)
I was already on my journey when I started this audiobook. I had been doing my dishes daily and it so helped!! When I heard Dana sharing how it is the foundation for change it excited me to know I was indeed on the right path!! I just kept going and being kind and patient with myself… I’m loving the cage and enjoyed having Dana’s story along for the ride…. Great suggestions and I think I’m taking what resonates and forging my own path haha get this book it is like a warm hug when your lost in clutter or feeling like it might not stick Again;)
