Summary
I’m answering your decluttering questions that were submitted at AskDanaKWhite.com
- If I want to declutter something but I also want to rearrange a room how do I avoid pulling everything out?
- How do I handle items that don't fit into the desired container even if it were empty?
- We are overflowing with kids books. What questions should I ask (and have my kids ask themselves) to decide which to keep and which to donate?
- My in laws house is jam packed. We will have the burden of cleaning it out. They have trouble with step 1 trash. Do I keep trying to encourage the steps or simply accept this as my burden?
- We need laundry tips: we cloth diaper a newborn and have to be doing laundry everyday, so laundry day isn’t an option right now.
- How do you do Step 1 (Trash), when there is, for example, a deep box of stuff, or a precarious pile of stuff?

| 1:11.6 | my next book and I am a little overwhelmed. Okay, I'm just kidding. I'm a lot overwhelmed. And my brain |
| 1:17.7 | is at its container limit of things. And so I need to plow through some of these questions that have |
| 1:24.8 | been asked over at AskDanyKY.com anyway, so might as well |
| 1:28.7 | do that with some of these podcasts. So there will probably be several of these. It just helps me to |
