"I’m listening to the audiobook. I found out about this author on YouTube. My YouTube is mainly cleaning motivation. Lately these YouTubers add in dinner prep. I hate that I don’t want to watch you cook and talk about how you only eat healthy. We want to see things get clean. I searched for her on Libby and found that this audiobook was available why not give it a shot. It’s simple no trick is going to magically work and your house will be managed all the time. Dana does not sugar coat it or say it’s simple. She gives you a dose of reality once you accept that you can move forward and actually achieve something. Don’t expect things to be in order on day one. It will take weeks of consistent effort. Day one will not look like day 30 once you get to the point that you are doing things before it becomes a project it won’t be that hard or time consuming. When you are on day 30 tasks that normally are hours long are really just 5 mins. This book does not give you a day by day check list that is universal. It gives you what you need to accomplish for your own needs making it practical. "
