  • 459: How to Keep Your House Under Control During Out-of-Routine Times
    May 22 2025

    Summer is here! (Or almost here!) Even if your personal schedule isn't dictated by a school calendar, life generally looks different in the summer as many activities take breaks or change their schedules. If you've found a cleaning or decluttering routine that works, or you feel like you're finally gaining some much-coveted traction, this can be scary. So let's talk about what to do and where to focus during out of routine times.

  • 458: Tackling Your Decluttering Challenges
    May 15 2025

    I’m answering your decluttering questions that were submitted at AskDanaKWhite.com

    • My whole house is pretty much under control now, except one thing: clothes. No matter what, they still get out of control all the time!
    • What do I do when I find things that don’t belong in our home?
    • To follow the container method and the progress -only method, how do we fill a tub or shelf with favorites till it’s full- without dumping everything on the floor first?
    • How do you know when you’ve gone too far? How do you know when it is time to re-clutter?
    • There are things I love to do in this space like take notes, make list, collect my thoughts, and imagine. Lately I have stopped writing almost completely because it is too much of an effort to go get what I need.
    • Many times, things get left on the counter for weeks on end. Is this likely a clutter threshold issue because the place where the items belong is too cluttered to put things away? Or is it a "not taking it there now" issue?
    • Decluttering advice for couples who are moving in together but have both previously lived in their own homes?

  • 455: Kids, In-laws, Laundry, and More Questions Answered
    Apr 24 2025

    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?
