Happy Monday! Who is with me today? Which Zone? I am in Flylady Zones 5 and 1, woo hoo! AND THE SUN IS SHINING here in Copenhagen today, yay! 👋🏼😍🎉🎉🎉
What happened to Wednesday?
Hi Diane! In my house zones 5 and 1 are almost the same room, so no problem choosing 😊. I am very sick just now so only trying to keep up with routines. Thank you for always encouraging the routines 🎉❤
Hi Diane! You are a breath of fresh air! Love your outfit. I am with you today in the Living room. Hope you have a great week! 👏🏼
I wanted to tell you that I chose one of the four self-care items and am trying some new summer fashions in colors and textures I don't usually wear. So far I like them!
I’m with you, not only in the living room, but the winter jackets are FINALLY going to the wash… sun is shining and I’m planning a rest in the sunshine with a big book 📖 😎👒…
Diane, I can’t fully describe how much you have helped me in my decluttering and downsizing. I lost my husband unexpectedly a few years ago. You’ve helped me take control of my large property. Due to your encouragement, I’m starting to adjust to the idea of relocating to a smaller space. If Diana of Denmark is planning to eventually move to an apartment , I can 😊 thank you for the inspiring videos.
Yay, go you, Rayetta! It's certainly a process but I am really enjoying the next stage!
That could've been me writing that Rayetta! I too am now thinking of relocating and downsizing after losing my husband almost 10 years ago. We can do this 😊
I relate to both commenters above💛. Diane, your work here on CZcams has brought me joy, encouragement, and level-sets my approaches to routines, decision making, offering up my unneeded stuff, adorning my self, and advising my young adult children - for many years now. Since my hubby suddenly died 18 months ago, I have faced more decisions than ever. Your videos are like a quick upbeat chat with my dearest cousin. My children were both in Uni (Germany and California) when their dad died and I will keep their bedrooms as theirs perhaps for longer now, to minimize their “home” stress and adjusting. I’m planning to remain in my home for about 10 more years, then may move to a smaller apartment such as your son’s in Copenhagen (video a few years back). My mother (age 84) is about to move her 4th time since she was 65, however she is challenged to let go of belongings. I’m certain someday I’ll need to process her stuff, while grieving the loss of her. Your messaging and topics help me navigate my life events. Thank you!!!
I believe you described your gratitude beautifully. Thank you for posting. I feel the same. I have a perpetual smile on my face when I watch Diane. 😀✨💖✨
Before watching your videos Diane decluttering was something I hated, now it is a hobby. Thank you very much Diane.
I put my recycling out and wiped a kitchen cupboard door, remembering that anything is better than nothing - this mindset change has been helping enormously lately. Thanks so much, Diane, for the inspiration and encouragement! ❤
Those little creamers bring back such happy memories for me. I always used them with my children; I read a tip years ago that they are the perfect size to give to preschoolers who are learning to pour their own milk. If they spill it, there's not so much liquid to clean up, and the pitcher isn't too heavy for them to lift. So sweet!
55 psychology books that were talking to me for years asking me why I never read them… then 10 more professional and fiction books; then 14 large decorating books that I went through and realized their style wasn’t mine, and/or for a country place we will never have, because one decluttered place is enough for us!
Wow!
I'm home schooling, every time we take a ten minute break I've been tidying up the room and putting things back where they belong in other parts of the house. So when we are finished working for the day the room just needs a quick vacuum and we are setup for the next day with a clean space. I sneak my zone cleaning in during our lunch break.
Inspirational! It seems the busier you are, the more you get done! I'm recently retired and sometimes it takes me all day to do nothing!
Ok, confession time...I fell off the wagon for a few weeks. Getting back into the routine this afternoon!
Omigosh me too! So much procrastination coupled with vacation and young kiddos equals very little got done
Me too! We’ve had floors refinished, new floors put in, and some painting done. Everything is so dusty. I can’t wait to give this place a good clean. I also need to get back on the decluttering wagon.
Diane, how sad I am to tell you our local pool closed due to financial problems. So I bought a wetsuit, a flotation device and joined the blue tits to swim in our local river. I do hope the pool reopens as so many families of all ages use it! Had to share this as you inspired me to start swimming after work. ❤
I love how clear headed you are about what is worth keeping and what can go. Bravo!
I absolutely love your decluttering videos! Yesterday i gave my niece my toile dishes because i bought beautiful new bone china blue toile ones. She was thrilled and so was I! Keeping less and less but better stuff feels wonderful. Thank you Diane, I have been watching you since your baby step videos and I am so happy whenever you post. 🇨🇦
Thanks Diane for another positive video. I get easily discouraged by all the mess but your cheery video helps me do a little and I know it is one step towards better organisation 🎉 woo hoo 🎉
🎉🎉🎉I ADORE a speedy clean 🫧🫧🫧 - it is the best way when you are feeling unmotivated! 🎉🎉🎉
Decluttering piles of papers that were tucked away as I recover from a bad cold. Thanks for cheering us on! ❤
👍 I couldn’t find an emoji for a pat on the back, so this one will have to do, along with a RAH RAH RAH to you! Thank you for this Monday motivation. I have been getting lazy and unmotivated during the last few days, so I needed this to get back on track with at least doing a little on most days. I’m trying to get into a regular habit of going to bed early and getting up early, but still getting enough sleep, and it’s not easy because old habits die hard!
I turn on your videos Diane when I lack motivation to start. As soon as you tell us to have our timer, my mind automatically goes into “work mode.” Thank you for your encouragement I hope you reach your goal of hitting 100K subscribers - I appreciate what you do.
In a busy house with four big kids and working full time, i dont often find time for all of the missions, weekly home upkeep etc. what does keep things ticking is the afternoon routine of clean kitchen before dinner and daily laundry. Just wanted to encourage busy mothers of older kids going in many directions! Simple routines keep things in check, not perfect, but working!
Love the declutering motivation. I have been married almost thirty four years (next week) and several years ago, I cleaned out a lot of the wedding gifts I received. I had many beautiful pieces, but several still had tags on them after twenty-seven years of marriage. I finally donated them knowing that somebody else could benefit from them when they were just stored in a cabinet at my home.
Thanks Diane, so inspiring to see you decluttering old wedding gifts that are no longer used or loved. Today I am sorting out gift wrap and ribbon, currently spread over different shelves in our lobby cupboard. I’m hoping to consolidate items into one container 😊
Thank you Diane, such a breath of fresh air watching you , your encouragement has help me put my house in order. Can't thank you enough, it's a life changer even after these past few years I've been following you. 🎉🎉🎉
I did a mini garden spruce up. i had a plant that needed separating, it was root bound. and bought garden container at dollar store yesterday. i put my trowel, clippers and gloves in. took out a pair that were too big. and put a couple of gnomes at my front door. :) have a blessed day.
I said to my boy last time he was home to go around the house and see if there is anything he wants to take.... Grandpa's chairs only thing.... so I have no conscience about getting rid of stuff.
Hi Diane, I'm from Belgium and last week we went on a work trip to Denmark (Middlefart & Aalborg). There I told people in the group about your videos and how much you taught me about housekeeping. I hope you have some new subscribers now! I'm always looking forward to a new video and I love organizing/cleaning/decluttering along with you.
That breadbasket is just the right size for a cat to curl up in. If I lived in Europe, I'd pop around and take it off your hands!😂
Bravo to you for decluttering some items we tend to keep just because we have had them forever. Sometimes those are the most difficult to let go of.
Dibs on your house when you put it for sale 😂
LOL!
Thanks Dianne fir the motivation. My second week of retirement now I have time to get decluttering.
Brilliant, Leslie - enjoy!
I like how you’re finding ways to put stored things to use as you declutter.
I like how you say, "go me" after you declutter something! 😊 Anne
I didn’t think I had anything to declutter in these rooms but I just decluttered an old bottle of martini, some old coasters and a few CDs and knowing my basic colours just made decluttering my winter coats a breeze this time round. Thanks for the content Diane. 🎉
It was so considerate of my cat to vomit in Zone 5 this morning. There's my inspiration to clean!
🤣🤣
😂
Had a good chuckle from your comment. Many times our cat has also been so considerate. However not so far this week but there are 5 more days to go! 😄
Did she get it on the carpet?
@@thatswhatisaid8908 Luckily no carpet! Window ledge and hardwood floor.
This week, I decluttered some old bowls from the kitchen, but I did replace them with some new ones. So, more of an exchange than a declutter, but I remember you saying at one point, “If something new comes in, something old goes out.” And I thank you for that! It definitely helps prevent clutter!
Our formal dining room is repurposed to a homeschool classroom where we keep our crafts, including the sewing supplies. I set items that need repair there and count taking care of them as part of the week's decluttering in Zone 1. Thanks for the cheerful inspiration. It's lovely to work with you cheering me on. :)
Happy Monday! Your short declutterring videos are so motivational and make this task manageable for me. A sense of achievement is great.
The coffee set is gorgeous! I agree there is not sense in holding on to it if you aren't going to use it. I'm sure someone else will be thrilled to have it. I went through a drawer in my main bathroom and found 5 things to declutter. It's not much but every little bit helps. Have a good week and I'll see you on Friday ❤
Diane, thanks for the inspiration! I got all the way through the weekly upkeep clean this morning, with my 2 year old granddaughter “helping”! She loves to put on the slipper mop cloths and do a little Pippi Longstocking when it’s time to mop.😂 I was under the weather last week and did very little cleaning, so it felt good to accomplish this today. My big declutter item is a SOFA; I bought a new one and the pick up got delayed, so today I’m rescheduling that! Rah rah rah
Thanks for the motivation, I'm a bit slow right now as hubby is quite sick and needing extra care. But even if all I can do is watch I love your energy and encouragement.
Diane, I love how you encourage us so much! You really do show us how little bits if decluttering add up over time! Thank you so much❤
Hmm. Let’s see. Well, first, I’m going to have a second cup of coffee for courage, and then I’ll clear the boards and my mind by hauling out all of the garbage and recycling that accumulated over the past week after I had oral surgery. (I’m fine, but I wasn’t really a ball of fire in the housekeeping derpartment last week.). Then on to Monday routine, and 10 minutes in the Zone. Decluttering will focus on the mantel, which is currently covered with a pile of … stuff. Full disclosure: these activities will be punctuated by coffee.
Even though I haven’t been around much lately, as I’ve been unwell and in hospital for three weeks, things here at home are still in an ok state. And I put that down to you Dianne, for helping me be so organised with my daily routines before I became unwell. I’m slowly getting better and very keen to get back to my routines, and to my zone cleaning once again, hopefully soon. Enjoy Spring and the warmer weather as we go into winter here in Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Wow! You really managed to declutter a lot today.
I recently did something similar in my dining room.
Today I managed to clean a couple of shelves of our bookcase and wash all three windows of the lounge room. That never would have happened without your motivational videos. So thank you 🙏
Cheers Wendy 🇦🇺
Just donated loads of school uniform as my youngest is about to finish school!!! 😊 xx
Aww, memories, Lucie! But nice to hand them on to another family!
Thank you for the motivation! I decluttered the book shelf in the dining room this week! So much dust behind the books 😮 and the shelf had some of my partner’s old electronics and when I asked him where to put them it turned out they were broken and could go to the bin! Huge result!
I must have got this declutter vibe through the ether yesterday! I am watching this morning (Tuesday) and I actually declutterred my kitchen dresser yesterday 😊. Today I’m going to declutter a wicker basket that’s been driving me mad every time I pass it. It’s got sheets I need to dye, cardboard I’ve collected for an art project, a plastic pear on a stick (don’t ask) and a horrible photo frame “I can’t throw away in case I want to DO something with it”😂.
Reminds me I desperatedly have to declutter my desk... *starts planning*
I love the motivation I feel when I watch your videos.
Yay! Diane to the motivational rescue!
Diane, you are such an inspiration! I got my entryway windows cleaned and vacuumed up all of the leaves and debris. You deserve the best!❤
I have a cabinet in zone 5 that I will go through as soon as I finish my coffee! Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you for the motivation to keep going Diane!! Much appreciated!!
Just watching you do anything, it’s a smile on my face. Thank you for the decluttering motivation. I’ll be taking another bag to the thrift store for donations.😁✨💖✨
Believe it or not I am STILL in the closet!!!🤣Much love from AZ😎
Thank you, Diane. I was able to load up my car with current donations while watching this video. It was way less painful than I'd anticipated, and now it's off today's to-do list. 🎉
I dusted my computer desk while listening and watching. 🙂
Fabulous job decluttering Diane! On Saturday I cleaned up the utility room: cleaned/sprayed boot protector and put away all the winter boots for next winter with one pair donated as well as a slew of plant pots. Today just opened up one kitchen drawer and found 2 gadgets that I no longer use. Easy peasy! Thanks for the continued encouragement Diane! Have a great week ahead.
Yay, brilliant work! I'm hoping to do the same with out winter shoes/boots soon!
Decluttering living room personal basket of items. I found the cat’s Christmas bow tie 😂
Many thanks Diane, been with you a while, unsure how I got to your site, but grateful for finding you at a critical time in my life. Hope you make it to 100k, you deserve it for all your hard work in helping and supporting others. A big hug to you.
I've decluttered a kitchen cupboard while watching you,thanks xx
Enjoyed the 'Listen With Mother' reference! I was indeed sitting comfortably and was very happy for you to begin. 🙂 I've been having a very 'down day' but watching your video has cheered me up and made me feel more motivated (as always). 🥰
Yes, Diane does brighten the "down days" - and Listen with Mother really takes me back too!
I love how you declutter in the area the Flylady zone is in! You show how just doing one cupboard makes such a difference and making decisions on keeping or letting go. It’s wonderful for you that the weather is finally heating up (it’s the opposite where I live in Australia). You’re always inspire me to get going so thank you ❤
So thankful for a new day and a new week! Helping my children sort clothes as we transition to warm weather here!
I am with you, Zones 5 and 1 -- my zone one I call "front of house" which starts from the sidewalk to porch, entryway in house, formal living room, dining room, what people see when they come into the home. I dug in deep into a couple of cupboards, which I have decluttered (last time) but wow, found more things to go and room to organize my table decor by month/season. Found baby silver spoon and fork (now 24 yo) so pulled those out and put into a kitchen drawer to use, make new memories and maybe pass along some day to the kid.
I was waiting for this! First Monday motivation from Diane in my new place. 🎉 I was seriously thinking about getting through those first few days of unpacking and settling in and then it would be Diane Monday 😭. And here we are. Love all the comments, too.
Even though I had a low energy week last week, I was able to accomplish quite a lot. My bedroom only took a few minutes to clean and 5 minutes energized me enough to clean and declutter when I felt up to it. Making progress on paper declutter right now.
I inherited quite a lot of glassware and have been repurposing it for decor. The glass you are donating for sweets reminds me of a cupcake stand that I turn into a tiered tray every Valentine's Day. It really chases away the winter blues.
I have started a little declutter project for the coming days to conquer my 🧦issues💪. I search for three pair of socks in my laundry basket and I declutter either three
wandering socks or a worn out pair 🧦🧦🧦 in the house 🏠😇 Every day. Works fabulous🇳🇱🙋
Good morning. I listened to your video while I dusked one room. Have a good day
Got more stuff freegled this weekend.... bye bye a little more clutter..... One woman's clutter is another person's treasure.....
Well done, Grumpy poo!
Freegled!!!! 😂
Thanks Diane for motivation. Yay to finally putting the washing outside 🙌🏼
Always inspired when you declutter Diane ❤ you remind me how easy it can be if I just set my timer and get going ❤
Finally got to the bottom drawer in my kitchen where I keep food storage things. Only disposed of a few but such a good feeling to be able to see what I have now!
I got the sheets changed on our bed while you decluttered. So fun to see your treasures and how the cycle goes. You help me to see that it is ok if Im not ready to let something go, as well as remind me that someone else could be getting joy from something I'm not using... Your real life decluttering frees me from the extremes of the guilt from the decluttering book and the guilt from the Hallmark movie. Thanks for sharing your real life decisions.
Put those wicker baskets on your wall!! They’re gorgeous!
Ha ha, nice idea but not my style at all!
Love your decluttering because it inspires me to do the same. Living room cabinets here I come. Thanks Diane!
Hi, Diane, you really switch a duty to a treasure hunt! Amazing finds, especially the jug and plate from Luxemburg 🇱🇺 . I’ll start with dusting in the living room and put away some things I used for a birthday party 🎈. And the circle around my favorite chair needs to be decluttered… I’ve always a circle of mess around me 🤔, which I do t like, and I hope to find some treasures (or ideas), too… thank you for your reminder, I liked the walk on your memory lane! Love, Monika❣
Diane, you are the best at the decluttering! You do it with such pizzazz and joy! Than you for all you do here on CZcams!
I’m amazed at how easily you let things go
Because the weather was finally warm here we had to do some work in the garden. So only routines and a LOL. Tomorrow is flylady day because on wednesday we have a holiday in Austria and guests are coming over 😊
I am always amazed that you still find things to declutter. I have a box of donations ready to drop off to the Special Olympics Thrift Store today.
Yes!! ❤ According to the National Soap and Detergent Association (USA), getting rid of clutter would eliminate 40% of housework in the average home.
Cleaning the livingroom dusting today due to very low energy. The zones for this week are decluttered already. Hope your week goes well, Diane, and company watching, and we'll all approach it with a rah rah rah!
Thanks for the motivation today. I've now caught your spring cold 😂😂 but luckily I decluttered in zone 5 yesterday. An old hifi, coffee table and a TV that my husband finally decided could go. Thank you ❤🎉
Happy Monday, Diane!❤❤❤ Instead of decluttering, I decided to look through my summer clothes. Recently, I’ve gained some weight, and I wanted to know that when the season finally changes here, I’ll at least have something to wear to start the summer. I found some capri pants that will do! Thanks again! See you Friday!❤❤❤
Well done, I have more clothes to declutter very soon!
I’ve been tackling my mudroom. It feels great to whittle away the mess.
Decluttering little by little really adds up!
Power hour done for today, also washed, dried, ironed and put on the sofa cover. Tomorrow we will continue with the decluttering. Great job and good motivation for tomorrow. Thank you for sharing.greetings from cologne Andy
Hi Diane 🙂 Every time you say 'we don't wear shoes in the house in Denmark' I'm saying 'I don't wear shoes in the house in England!'. Would be weird to wear shoes inside, none of my friends do. Each time you say it I wonder if you were an indoor-shoe-wearer in the UK 😂😂
A big bag of clothes went to the charity shop this weekend 😊
I look forward to your videos each week. Thank you!,
Thank you Diane, very inspiring and uplifting. This one can go; those get to stay :) Reminds me to put some of my kitchen ware on probation
I’m always surprised at what I no longer want/need when I go through things after some time. Today is time for me to go on a quick pass through the kitchen!
Dusted while I was listening today and when you got to your coats, thought oh yes, great idea. Finally warm here too 😊 Pulled some to get washed and put away! Thank you Diane!!
Decluttering the desk today. Thanks for keeping me company!❤
🎉thanks for the motivation. I have a big kitchen project coming up so I will have to make space for everything before the work begins, some times I am overwhelmed by the thought but one step at a time it will be worth it 🙏🤔
Lovely volg. Amazing how much we always find.. decluttering is definitely an ongoing chore.
I decluttered a couple of draws in the front room. A few games and some tableware.
I'm decluttering and cleaning in the living room today. I am always afraid you are decluttering lovely items you will regret letting go of!! I always watch thinking, "Oh Diane, keep that!" I don’t think I could ever be a minimalist, but I do have tons of clutter that I'm trying to clear out.
Hi Diane, Thankyou so much for taking the time to make your fabulous videos.
I have only just come across one by chance, now I'm addicted. You are such an inspiration.
Thanks so much Diane❤ Love Karen from Melbourne Australia💋
Greetings from Texas! Diane you got me decluttering my hubbie's bar? Well done! It wasn't even on my radar yet. He fancies making exotic drinks for by the pool on Fridays. Some of them don't go over well so we have a collection of old liquor ingredients that have only been used once. I am sure they are not even good anymore. Out they go! As always, thanks for the inspiration and positivity!!!
Decluttered two drawers in the dining room. Relocated some items to the garage and one item for the community yard sale this Saturday. 💕🕊️🖖
I'm catching up on your videos . I had 25 family members last week to see the new house. I wasn't stressed beforehand because house stays looking nice with Routines and Weekly Upkeep.
You are so inspirational and motivational. Decluttering a box in the basement.
