I chant/cheer “purge baby! Purge!” Every time I declutter, and hear about my friends and family declutter!
1. I keep my mail section right next to shredder. So everything I don’t need goes right in shredder without thinking about it.
2. I definitely do the donation Amazon box on hand for my semi-annual closet purge
3. I absolutely do the leave my possible purchases in checkout for a few days before I actually purchase. 7/10 I normally don’t feel the urge to purchase unless I really love after waiting.
5:33 yes!! I’ve done over 10 boxes worth of donation boxes and it’s has helped SO MUCH
Your advice helped me so much when I was in 2300 square foot house. I have moved into a senior citizen assisted living now and have two room apartment but I still use your methods. Thank you for your videos. Wish the best for you and your family.
I do a spin thru my home every evening before settling down for the night, putting everything in it's proper place, including doing dishes in the sink. It really makes a difference. 😊 I sleep better! Almost forgot, I also say thank you out loud for all the lovely things I have. I really love my simple pretty little home🥰
This is great. We were forced to declutter due my house catching fire. We lost everything. But as we are rebuilding and living in a rental right now I am becoming aware of the crap we had. I am trying really hard now as we bring things in that we need to keep things out.
Tell us more about how your digital paper storage. And how you file your paper, please! That’s my weaknesses, I am great at at physical decluttering, but not paper, yet.
With labor day weekend coming up, this 3 day decluttering challenge is EXACTLY what i need!!
Let me know how it goes!!
How did it go??
I keep my old phone when I get an upgrade for my "distracting" apps. For me, it's a small price to pay for having a way to focus my attention properly. I move all my shopping apps, rebate and flyer apps, games, etc. All I have on my actual phone is just my banking app, to-do list, youtube and email. Makes the battery last longer and it's harder to be distracted by other stuff every time you reply to a text.
Great idea!!!
The more I declutter, the less I want to buy
Why is that very true? I feel the same.
Same!
I will definitely give that a try
Totally
Been a subscriber for many years, this video brought me t[ the website for the decanter challenge of just 3 days! So manageable!
I woke up and this is the first CZcams video i've watched today ! It really encouraged me to tidy up ! Thank you :)
Thank you!!! SAVED THIS VIDEO!!! This is a great video too remind me and encourage myself too declutter! Great advice!!! Thank you!!! ❤❤❤
Love your videos!
How to clean after construction floors
Thank you 😊
Great video! Thanks for all the tips. 😊
Love your videos! I have benefited from putting things in my Amazon wish list and waiting to see if I really want them. I almost never buy anything on my wish list, but it comes in handy when someone wants to buy me a gift! 😊
I do this too!
Perfect video, thank you!
Love your hair in this! Thanks for the advice, I’m overwhelmed right now
Thankyou. You're so inspiring. My donation bx/bag lives in car trunk. Anything needing to go OUT is deposited at door, & nxt time I go to car, goes in the trunk. Nxt time to donation center, out it goes forever.
I started decluttering since 2020, when Corona came in our lives.. I think of it as a death cleaning.. But today I learnt few more tips from your video. Thanks for that 🙏
I feel the same! This is enchagment for us!!! xx
I've been using the 1 in/1 out rule for years now, and it's very effective. It really helps to ask yourself before making a purchase, "Do I like this thing enough to get rid of something else?" Very helpful (if you stick to it 😉)
I've found that living by a more minimal lifestyle, I have less anxiety and feel more at ease because it's easier to take care of less things.
I used to be so bad with emails,but many months things have changed for the good,so freeing . Plus donating things. Such freedom. Still some things to do. 😮 Getting there
I can barely keep my ONE plant alive hahaha! Thanks for posting this, it's a great time for me. I'm going to join your decluttering challenge.
Let me know how it goes!
oh girl you know your timing is too perfect!!!!! 3 day weekend woo-hoo
My husband and I have lived in a fairly nice size 5 wheel camper for 3 years now. I love your CZcams channel and your e-books. I have went through my clothes several times I get rid of a bunch of them but there’s some that I just have to hang on to.
My millennial/gen x neighbors find every excuse to chill in my(comparatively) minimalist environment. They consume as we all must - but seem to add/buy constantly.Wonder if there is enough space in their abode sometimes. Clutter , if not dealt with regularly & through " method" can descend into hoarding .Which ,as we have seen dramatic examples of ,is a highly undesirable state to find oneself living in .Thanks for making the routine of clearing out the mess ,much less daunting and kinda fun !
I have starting decluttering. But it seems neverending. I don't have any closet/cupboard space to put things where they belong. Practice makes progress!
You got this!
That may actually help you to only keep the things you truly need! It's too easy to forget things stored in closets/cuboards.
can you do a declutter/ clean video about art supplies?
God bless you ❤
Oh you are soooo right about it takes forever to de clutter! We just sold our home after 45 years and downsized to a townhouse. I worked months on getting our home ready for sale and even though I thought I got rid of everything we still have I opened boxes in our new garage. It’s taking forever, we are in our 70’s and it is so overwhelming and tiring. We hadn’t moved since we were in our early 30’s so I had no idea what I was doing, was completely unorganized and when the movers moved boxes to our rented townhouse unfortunately I was at he old house and my husband was here…plus, my nephew and brother also moved items and threw things out…some boxes that were to be donated ended up here some things that were marked with the rooms they should go into were thrown out. It was such a fiasco. I don’t think I’ll ever get done or organized in our new space😢.
My girrrl! Yes I need thisss
8:17 man I drastically misheard "you don't have to dress like a bore" I thought she said something else 😂
Came here to say the same thing! Glad I'm not the only one.
I sell used CDs.
The minimalist movement really helped with both getting stock and getting more sales.
Absolutely ❤
Thanks for watching!
Totally get what you're saying about the 'one in, one out' rule. It's a game-changer for keeping clutter at bay. 🔄
Horizontal surfaces are clutter magnets! I've found that a quick sweep before bed keeps things in check. 🛏
Digital clutter is real! I had to do a major app purge on my phone last week. Felt like a weight lifted off. 📱
Things to Consider:
Ever tried the 20/20 rule? If you can replace it in 20 minutes for less than 20 bucks, you probably don't need to keep it.
I've started using a 'maybe box' for items I'm unsure about. If I don't reach for them in 30 days, they're out.
For digital clutter, I've set up email filters that sort my inbox automatically. Makes managing emails a breeze.
My pet peeve is mail lol I never have an issue with mail piling up. It's dusting for me
Thanks for watching!
I learnt such a...such a basic thing from u that hepls me with my visual clutter...is.....
Clear counter spaces...
God...that has been such a saviour.
Here's my tip on the mailbox - I signed up for USPS Informed Delivery. It tells me via email daily what mail I'm going to get. Then I know if I need to walk out to the mailbox. I live in a townhouse complex where the mailboxes are locked, so it's secure for me to leave things in there for a couple days if I get lazy or go away. The one exception is the weekly supermarket circulars. Those just magically arrive every Thursday or Friday and I want to clean that out because space inside is kind of limited.
But what about your fan mail? Do you let that pile up?
I did the same thing about 3 years ago
I'm so frustrated. My husband of many decades is a slob and if I keep picking up after him I become hugely resentful. So I either pick up his messes or have to look at them. Our kids are grown and gone and I'd love a peaceful home. He loves to cook and shops like there are 50 people living here. Plus he now works from home and that's an added stressor because of the work he does. He develops food products for companies in our kitchen. I'm seriously bummed by all the chaos.
For unwanted mail I have stick a 'No Junk mail ' sticker to my mailbox and stop all the junk mail BEFORE it reaches my home. Additionally it helps the environment.
Love that white polish gurl
Thank you!
Would like your 3 day list
Can you please share what you use for your digital filing cabinet?
I suggest getting a micro shredder.
3-day decluttering challenge, good timing for the upcoming 3 day weekend.
We take all of our mail into the kitchen every time and I immediately go through it. Recycle goes into the bin (which is most of it) and anything that needs to be looked at more closely or paid goes on my desk in the office. Also have an auto fed shredder that saves a lot of time.
A shredder is one of the most useful gifts I received! Not only declutters but secure for peace of mind.
Amen❤😊
Minimalist and very clean and tidy housewife/caregiver here🙋♀️
Im lost. I will see myself out😅
How can I encourage others in the family to help de-clutter?
I have a sign on my mail box: “No ads!” Works fine.
Bag it up. Put it in storage haha
I am decluttering. But 30 years is a lot of stuff
You can sign up with the post office to get emails about the mail you're getting each day. That keeps me from walking to my mailbox for no reason.
I check rhe mail and stand at the recylcling bin. I recycle junk mail and envelopes of things I am keeping before I come in the house.
I always take one out if bringing one in. All the rooms
Thanks for watching Denise :)
I wish the tech companies add delete after year or 2 years specially for pictures and files
❤️❤️❤️🥰
❤
👍
“Eve” means life giving. I find you to be such a contrast to my wife. She is constantly making and growing things and as a result she badly needs “pruning”. Unfortunately, if I so much as bring this topic up, it is a guaranteed fight. How is it that you are so different? You are absolutely correct that clutter creates stress. I have often found myself astonished that I have to go to a hotel just to relax. It is very discouraging.
When in doubt, throw it out!
Agreed although some items have sentimental value so you need to be careful.
with INFLATION roaring, throwing things out is not advisable. Storage and organization because more important
This product could be great to revitalize your sofa, if it is real leather. I make nothing from sharing this, I was just so pleased with it refreshing my leather sofa and have put off buying a new one for a year so far.

'I have to deal with the paperwork and get rid of the evidence' sounds so unnecessarily sinister 🤣 Great vid though, thanks.
Clutter brings pests into my house 🏡 such as houseflies and other insects 🐜. I am trying to sell my clutter on eBay and stop 🛑 letting things build up 🆙
"Clean My Space" while just sitting and talking.....
That's how we do around here....
I like it. Nice mellow conversation ☺️
Anyone else for the feet?.....no one??..... cancelled??
Did you really say “I’m not saying you have to dress like a wh0re?” 😮 This has such sassy teenage girl in 1999 bullying another girl vibes. I get what you are saying but I that’s not very nice to S workers or people who want to highlight their body. Maybe next time you can say something more positive like: “I’m not saying you need to dress : in a way that doesn’t make you feel good/in a way that doesn’t suit your personal style/in a way that draws attention to yourself” Love your tips in this video though! 🙂
No she said bore.
No, you misheard her. She said, "I'm not saying you have to dress like a BORE."
I assure you that Melissa said "BORE" :) Thanks for watching!
That poor couch :( If you have leather, take care of it please.
Oh no , did she say “dressed like a whore.” Surely not…
If you can help curb my perimenopausal breakdown, I’ll nominate you for sainthood. Just wait. It will come for you one day and your life will fall apart, too.
What I had to do to declutter was place my donation box in the trunk of my car. I’d take my stuff I no longer wanted to my car and whenever I was out I’d drop the stuff off at Goodwill. I noticed that keeping the donation box in my house that my junk never left my house. 😂😂😂😂
Baby steps. 🐾🙂🙃😇🥹🫶🏽
God bless you ❤
