Renowned decluttering expert expands beyond clutter with a practical, no-shame approach to procrastination, helping overwhelmed readers finally finish what they keep avoiding
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — October 19, 2026 — Bestselling author, podcaster and renowned decluttering expert Dana K. White has officially added New York Times bestselling author to her résumé.
White’s new book, Procrastinators Get Stuff Done: How to Go from Overwhelmed to Finished (October 6, 2026, Thomas Nelson), has debuted at No. 10 on the New York Times Advice, How-To & Miscellaneous bestseller list, just one week after its October 6 release.
The milestone marks an exciting expansion for White, who has spent years helping millions of overwhelmed people make real progress in their homes and lives. Her previous book, Decluttering at the Speed of Life, became a Wall Street Journal bestseller and has sold more than 500,000 copies. Now, White is taking the practical, no-shame approach that made her a trusted voice in the decluttering space and applying it to one of the biggest obstacles keeping people stuck: procrastination.
“We are thrilled to celebrate Dana K. White and this incredible achievement,” said Susan Ligon, Vice President, Publisher, W Publishing Group. “Dana has built a remarkable connection with readers by offering practical solutions that actually work for real people living real lives. This New York Times bestseller recognition is a testament to the power of her message and the loyal community she’s built. We couldn’t be more proud to partner with her and help bring her work to an even wider audience.”
In Procrastinators Get Stuff Done, White tackles the root causes behind the tasks, projects, decisions and conversations people continually put off. Her message is both refreshing and relieving: procrastination is not necessarily laziness. It can be fueled by overthinking, idealism, shame, decision fatigue, overwhelm, fear of doing something wrong or simply not knowing where to start.
Through her 5-step Anti-Procrastination Process, White gives readers a doable path forward — one that helps them conserve emotional energy, reduce overwhelm and build momentum without relying on pressure, perfectionism or traditional productivity systems that may only make procrastinators feel worse.
The response has struck a chord with readers looking for a more realistic approach to getting things done. White’s signature style — practical, funny, relatable and free from shame — gives procrastinators permission to stop fighting the way they think and start using a system that works with them instead.
“Dana has an extraordinary gift for making people feel seen in the middle of their everyday messes,” said Lisa-Jo Baker, Executive Editor, W Publishing Group. “She brings humor, honesty, and practical wisdom to a struggle so many of us share, and she does it without an ounce of judgment. Seeing Procrastinators Get Stuff Done become a New York Times bestseller is such a meaningful affirmation of what we’ve always believed about Dana’s message and how deeply it resonates with readers.”
White’s work has resonated with millions because she understands the person staring at the mess, the list, the project or the deadline and wondering, “Why can’t I just do this?” Rather than adding more guilt, she offers something procrastinators rarely hear: the answer may not be more discipline — it may be a better process. Procrastinators Get Stuff Done: How to Go from Overwhelmed to Finished is available now wherever books are sold.
