| 0:00.0 | Welcome to a slob cams clean, the podcast. I am Dana K. White. I share my personal deslabification |
| 0:06.2 | process. As I figure out ways to keep my own home under control, I share the truth about cleaning |
| 0:11.4 | and organizing strategies that actually work in real life for real people, people who don't love |
| 0:17.2 | cleaning and organizing. Thanks for joining me today. This is podcast number 510, which just |
| 0:24.3 | feels like a really big number. But this title for this week, I think, is going to be what exactly |
| 0:33.9 | are the basics or maybe something like back to basics, but what exactly are the basics or maybe something like back to basics but what exactly are the basics so it is may as i'm recording this and may as you're going to hear it if you're hearing in real time and that means summer's coming a little bit about me in case this is your first year around here.

| 1:53.3 | will have podcasts coming through your podcast feed wherever you subscribe right now, but |
| 2:00.4 | they're going to be not new content. |
| 2:03.6 | Okay. |
| 2:04.1 | Anyway, I say all that because I like to warn people just so you know that that's coming. |
