Jumia Books Decluttering at the Speed of Life: Winning Your Never-Ending Battle with Stuff  by Dana K. White (Author)

"Decluttering at the Speed of Life: Winning Your Never-Ending Battle with Stuff" by Dana K. White is a practical and humorous guide to managing clutter in real life. Dana White addresses the emotional challenges and mental blocks that make decluttering difficult, offering workable solutions to break through these struggles. The book emphasizes a realistic approach to decluttering that fits with everyday life, acknowledging that new clutter inevitably appears but can be managed more easily over time.

Key concepts in the book include:

Differentiating clutter from cleaning and focusing on simple, manageable steps rather than overwhelming projects.

Identifying "procrasticlutter," items that need to be put away but don’t require decisions about keeping or discarding.

A five-step decluttering method:

Removing obvious trash.

Handling easy-to-put-away items.

Discarding items long meant to be thrown out ("duh clutter").

Asking two questions to decide if an item should be kept or discarded: "Where would I look for this?" and "Would I remember I already have one?"

Making items fit into containers by consolidating or removing less worthy items.
