“I don't usually read books - or blogs, or anything else - about cleaning, because it seems like it's a pretty straightforward task; what I need is motivation, not information, right? Wrong, apparently. Organizing for the Rest of Us includes helpful mindset shifts, like embracing *better* instead of done, as well as specific tips, like timing how long it really takes you to empty the dishwasher (not as long as you think!). The audiobook, read by the author, is quick and humorously performed. My one caveat: as a bookseller, I won't be embracing an e-reader anytime soon!”

“I love organizational books. Itโs hard to always synthesize the information in these books, so imagine my joy at getting to listen to Dana K. Whiteโs Organizing for the Rest of Us. Subtitled '100 Realistic Strategies to Getting Any House Under Control,' this was exactly what I wanted. Whatโs more, White reads her audiobooks, so I got her delightful guiding voice. While some of her advice does overlap with her longer books (Decluttering at the Speed of Life and How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind) the key points that are driven home are so incredibly helpful, Iโve incorporated them into my daily life. Iโd simply recommend Organizing for the Rest of Us for everyone, while the other two might be more focused depending on what the reader is looking for.”

“What a super helpful bitesized audiobook! The author does a great job of giving quick, easy to follow tips that can create the lasting change in your home and your life you are looking for without feeling judgy or preachy. The container concept is life-changing.”
