Danessa's Reviews > How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind: Dealing with Your House's Dirty Little Secrets

I picked up this book with the hopes of finding tips on how to organise my home better. But Dana warned pretty much ahead that this book is not for "organised people" and I wondered if I fall into that category.

My house is clean most of the time, because I like things neat and tidy. But if you look at it closely, it's still cluttered. And I hate clutter. My kind of ideal home is those minimalist concept and after living with hoarders, I kinda gave up!

I can relate to most of what Dana shared in this book. Her advice makes perfect sense and they are practical. Her list of non-negotiables are do-able and it has become a habit. I like what she said, "If we have been rocking our daily habits, we can be ready to have guests over in five minutes." And that's what happened last week. For the first time in many years, I hosted dinner for some friends at home (without the help of my husband because he was in camp for a week). This was manageable as I followed through her tips on where to start and dealing with pre-made decisions. The sections on managing and getting rid of clutter were also awesome!

I received an Advance Reader Copy in exchange for my honest review.
