0:28.4	workshop that works for you. That's declutteringcoaches.com slash class. Welcome to a slob
0:35.7	comes clean, the podcast. I am Dana K. White. I share my personal deslobification
0:41.0	process. As I figure out ways to keep my own home under control, I share the truth about cleaning

1:43.3	keeping it in the right place and
1:45.8	knowing where it is and putting it back and blah blah blah and you know having a tightly packed
1:50.8	cabinet get out the one thing and then repack it tightly where I grew up thinking I needed to have
1:56.9	all this stuff but I don't have that ability right, I'm not able to handle that much stuff.
2:04.7	So it's not about what I prefer aesthetically. A lot of people like, oh, that's everyone,
2:09.1	cluttered or the result, meaning like, I don't like it. No, no, no. I'm saying, what can you handle?
