Come to A Slob Comes Clean, the podcast. I'm Dana White. I blog over at A Slob Comes Clean.com.

That's where I share my personal, these lividification process as I figure out ways to keep my own home under control.

I share the truth about cleaning and organizing strategies that actually work in real life for real people who don't necessarily love cleaning and organizing.

Thanks for joining me today. I'm just going to warn you. It's kind of an embarrassing admission, but I can't find my microphone.

So anyway, I am using my Apple earbuds that have a microphone on them. So I apologize if it sounds weird.

I also kind of listened back to some and it was really, really loud. So yeah, I hope I don't get too loud for you.

I don't know, maybe that'll help. I'm trying to push some buttons here. We'll see what happens. But okay, because sometimes I don't realize how loud I'm talking and I might not always be whatever.

Anyway, this is podcast number 141. I'm calling it setting aside time to declutter.

This is an answer to a question that I got from one of you. If you ever have a question, just email me at A Slob Comes Clean at gmail.com.

I cannot guarantee that I will get to every single one, but they actually are great things for me to have as ideas or podcasts.

Anyway, I greatly appreciate it when you send them, but again, sometimes they get lost.

I am talking today about setting aside time to declutter, but before I do that, I want to read you a review of my book, How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind,

which is also available as an audiobook, which if you like podcasts, so probably like audiobooks.

But this is a review that was posted on Goodreads, not of the audiobook, but anyway, just really made me happy.

It says, this book is amazing. As smart as I am, this is her talking, not me.

I've never been able to figure out how people keep their houses clean all the time, but this book explained it.

She called me out on every one of my excuses.

I've started implementing her recommendations as I've been reading, and even just a few days, the difference has been amazing.

My house is so much cleaner. It is in no way perfect, but it's definitely cleaner.

The layers of clutter are eroding away, leaving things like tables, and counter space, visible to the eye.

The dishes are getting done every day. If that doesn't sound like an accomplishment, then this is not the book for you.

But if you're wondering how to make that occur in your home and in your life, this is your book.
