Welcome to a slob cams clean the podcast. I am Dana K. White. I share my personal deslobification 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, people who don't love cleaning and organizing. Thanks for

joining me today. This is podcast number 482.

And I think I'm going to call it scary clutter problems solved. It is October 30th when this

is going to come out. And, you know, it just hit me when I was trying to think of, what am I

going to record my podcast about this week? I was like, oh, that sounds when I was trying to think of, what am I going to record my podcast

about this week? I was like, oh, that sounds like a fun thing. So anyway, I'm not going to actually

talk about anything really scary, but if you are anything like me and you are at a point in your

clutter journey where I was at one point where I just felt completely overwhelmed and bewildered by it all.

It was scary to me.

Like it was, it was scary to think that I might never get it figured out.

It was scary because I had tried so many times.

I think that's one of the biggest misconceptions that

naturally organized people have about those of us who struggle is that we're not trying,

like that it's a matter of understanding that it's important, that it's a matter of convincing us to care, that it's a

matter of cheering us up to the point where we have the energy to go tackle it. The thing that a

lot of people don't understand when they look at someone's messy home is that that person me this was me

in the day we're trying we have tried so many different methods tricks things that we've heard over the years.

I was doing what I thought other people were doing whose homes were under control

when my house was a complete disaster.

I was working on it.
