A Slob Comes Clean

478: Q&A - Function Over Minimalism and the Power of the First Steps


Listen Later

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


  • How can I plunk my homeschool routine in the middle of my dailies, progress with decluttering, and other housekeeping tasks without it all falling apart?
  • How do you prevent yourself from “going there” with your emotions? You said you have a lot of emotions about things. I get that!
  • When I’m going through my closet, I find items that I love. How do you part with items you love that you had put away for another time?
  • Can you please talk about getting rid of pieces of a set (like a set of dishes)?
  • How do I get to the next step when nothing really has a home?
  • What do I do with pages of notes and handouts that I have from various sources, such as meetings with health coaches, food webinars, gardening webinars, and decorating tips?
  • What are some ideas if your kids always wear through specific categories of clothes before the next laundry day?
  • Do I consider the five steps before I purchase an item that I don't necessarily need, such as clothing or home decor?
  • I helped a friend declutter, and it has returned. I love your concepts, but I am afraid I will not present your solutions to her successfully. Please help?
  • We just moved from a 2-bedroom apartment to a 4-bedroom house with a basement, garage, and attic. How do I "declutter" when I'm not hitting the walls of the container?
  • Is it possible to have a clutter threshold so low you can’t get below it? Any amount of clutter makes me feel like everything is out of control. This makes me feel overwhelmed, so the clutter continues to increase.
