Sept. 24, 2025 – Dana K. White’s bestselling Decluttering at the Speed of Life (W Publishing, an imprint of Thomas Nelson) has officially sold more than 500,000 copies across all formats, including print, ebook, and audiobook.
White, who is a decluttering expert, wrote the book by drawing on her personal journey to become less cluttered, which she chronicled on her blog, “A Slob Comes Clean.” During the process of paring down items in her own home, she discovered the need for actionable steps that fit into her schedule. The resulting methodology she created—and shares in her book—makes decluttering accessible to everyone. Readers especially love Dana’s trademark “No Mess Decluttering Method,” which centers around clearing clutter without creating a bigger mess in the process.
Since its release, Decluttering at the Speed of Life has consistently ranked as a top seller in the home and organization categories. Its real-world advice and humorous, down-to-earth tone have earned it widespread praise from both readers and media outlets, solidifying its place as a go-to guide for anyone overwhelmed by clutter.
“My goal has always been to help people find hope and make real, visible progress in their own spaces with simple, practical strategies that can be implemented in the midst of a busy life,” said White. “I’m so thankful that this book has helped turn that into a reality for so many readers.”
“This significant milestone underscores the book’s lasting impact on readers seeking practical and realistic solutions for managing their households,” said W Publishing VP and Publisher, Damon Reiss.
Dana K. White is the creator of the No Mess Decluttering Method and (much to her own surprise) a Decluttering Expert. Dana shares realistic home management strategies and a message of hope for the hopelessly messy in her books: Organizing for the Rest of Us, Decluttering at the Speed of Life (a Wall Street Journal bestseller), and How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind. Dana teaches her strategies through her blog, podcast, and videos at ASlobComesClean.com and trains coaches in her unique decluttering process at DeclutteringCoaches.com.
