Decluttering vs. Organizing with Dana K. White

Author: Angela Brown February 21, 2020 Duration: 14:39

Decluttering vs. organizing - what is the difference? Dana K. White, owner of A Slob Comes Clean talks letting go of stuff.

Decluttering vs. organizing is about the compartmentalization of a functioning home. If you're overwhelmed and can't get organized have no fear. You don't have to get organized today. You can start with the container concept and tidy up small spaces.

Decluttering is not organizing is finding and managing your clutter threshold.
Today's #AskaHouseCleaner sponsors are Savvy Cleaner Training for house cleaners and maids. And Savvy Perks for cleaning business owners and their cleaning teams.
