I have a small home and live a pretty minimal life. I had people coming over last night and there was no cleaning for days or panic cleaning. I did a few dishes and dusted surfaces in my living room. Then vacuumed... on my lunch hour... with a half hour left to eat and relax. Love these tips!
That’s amazing! And I know that feels so good! 😍 living simpler means being in charge of your things I spread of the other way around! ❤️ thanks so much for sharing and watching!!
Good for you! What an amazing accomplishment😊 I can’t wait to get to this point❤
❤ A decade of decluttering and now its difficult to come up with things to declutter. The one in one out method is a game changer for me and my husband.
That’s Amazing 🤩 it’s such a great feeling when you honestly can’t find anything to declutter! ❤️ thanks for sharing!
#4 was the same for me! Cleaning and organizing seemed to never work for me, until I got rid of our possessions by 75%!
Yes! I always felt like cleaning was impossible to keep up with and it was all because I just had too stuff 🤦🏼♀️🤣
I LOVE that you show the pics of your house before! It helps me see you actually did this and see how you have kept it up. So encouraging and helpful!
Aww thanks! I wish I had documented this whole journey so I’d have even more pictures but it is definitely possible to have a minimalist house for me it just took time and practice ❤️❤️
I started decluttering about 7 years ago, when I had just had my 4th baby. I am now about to have my 7th baby and I can't imagine how we could function if our house was as full as it used to be! Our house still gets absolutely trashed pretty much everyday with so many people and pets but we can all chip in to tidy up and get everything thing pulled back together in an hour. Having so few of things like dishes and laundry so that we physically can't get behind is a game changer. We can't go a week without doing laundry, so it forces us to keep up with a load or 2 each day. I don't have enough dishes to go an entire day without doing the dishes. It really helps when you know you can't get so behind that it will take hours to catch up.
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ Your story is so inspiring!!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on decluttering your home… such great advice!!! 👍❤️😊
So glad if it helps!! ❤️❤️ thanks for sharing!
❤ I have been decluttering for the past 5 days and I can relate to telling myself stories of why I should keep or get rid of something!!!
I still have to catch myself too! Haha great job decluttering!! Thanks for watching ❤️
❤ I'm soooo guilty of constantly moving furniture, swapping decor, buying decor and changing furniture, always moving my plants around, organising and reorganising kids toys and kitchen multiple times a year, etc 🤦 Also having problems with finding place for new incoming items (especially after holiday season)... And often being temperamental, anxious and overly dramatic when I have too much on my to-do list and always rushing somethere because I'm late (it's not about the material clutter yet about cluttered mind and schedule). And often feeling uninspired in my kitchen too 😢
Thank you for your observations! 🤗
Thanks for sharing! ❤️
The moving furniture around definitely resonates with me ❤
Hahaha I’m so glad I’m not alone on that one!
I LOVE my blank walls! The only thing on a wall that doesn’t irritate me are mirrors.
That’s awesome 👏 thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️
Great video.Thanks 😘🥰
Thanks for watching ❤️❤️
Glad you're all home safe and sound, and had a great time! Thanks for this thoughtful video. Loved it.
Thanks so much ❤️ it was a wonderful trip!
❤ Very thoughtful and thought-provoking video!
Thanks so much! ❤️
I love your videos they are so encouraging 😊
Thanks so much 😍
❤I definitely need to declutter. Some of the reasons you listed in this video!
Thanks for sharing friend ❤️❤️
Loved this video so much Becky! So many ideas and tips. The constantly moving furniture around really spoke to me because that I what I spent years doing and still find myself wanting to do. Time to reevaluate my why for minimalism ❤
Thanks friend❤️ I hope your school year is going well!
I had a friend who was a hoarder, and her attachment to things overwhelmed my space. Her "just in case" mentality led to clutter, making it impossible to relax at home. Eventually, I had to declutter for my mental health, but she didn't understand and became upset when I got rid of items. Realizing her negativity, I chose to end the friendship to prioritize my well-being.
It also reminded me of how much money I spent and won't get back.
I know that must have been so hard and I’m sorry you had to make that choice ❤️ at a certain point keeping things becomes a mental health issue and I hope they can seek out help when their ready ❤️❤️
The comment about shifting and moving things. So me! Working on decluttering and pairing down my house so it's more simplified but I didn't know this was a sign. Very helpful! Thanks
I’m so glad! That used to be me all of the time 🤦🏼♀️ thanks for sharing!! ❤️❤️
Iam so glad you posted this. My family member was so mad Christmas for not having a long stem wine glass. We have tumblers and unbreakable wine glasses and she was upset no espresso maker. 😳 I just blew it off. Also the just in case we are downsizing to a condo being 60 and I always say what if the kids need somewhere to go in an emergency well they own their own home. I am a pro at making scenarios in my head😮
Aww thanks so much for your comment! And same! I make up stories all the time I have to catch myself haha
❤ whew. The last few are hitting me hard right now! I have little energy to unpack a weekend suitcase because my closet is crazy. I liked the pictures of your house with all the furniture because it still looked cute, but like you said it didn’t feel relaxing or easy to maintain.
Thanks! My husband always said he didn’t mind it but it was a lot to keep up with hahah and I couldn’t agree more! Neither of us had the energy to keep up with cleaning all the stuff even though it was cute 🤣
@@minimalease what you said about picture collages really resonated with me too! I thought I was going nuts because a neighbor friend put her collage up in one weekend and never tweaked it!? 😉
❤ time to get back to decluttering 😂
Just did a little declutter myself! 🤣❤️
@@minimaleaseI hope you filmed it!
my washing machine is broken... that's a good sign that I don't want stuff on top of the washing machine or around it.
but it leaves me conflicted on if I need more clothes (already 50 pieces total) and more 'just in case' towels and paper towels.
I dread coming home because all i do is vacumn, cook, clean and laundry. We are a family of six and while my house is declutterred and minimal having a family is so much work. I just want to go for a hike for a week and not do one chore. Maybe when I am 80 years old. I get to clean my house because I am healthy and my family lives in a clean home ❤
When it comes to cleaning and cooking it can all be very overwhelming! Sometimes small thing a added can actually help like our mop I’ve talk about before and our off brand rumba that vacuums our main floor everyday really helps my daily life ❤️ hope this helps let me know if you have any other ideas I’m sure we have all felt like you ❤️❤️
@@minimalease I will look for your mop recommendation. And do you think the rumba is as good as a human doing the work. We have 4 kids plus their friends over daily after school. I swear they drop crumbs as they walk around the kitchen. I am thankful our kids love being home just after 16 years of doing this and I am older you get tired and a little grumpy about it. I know I am lucky to have a home to clean too. And we have very little in our home which I am so thankful for.
This is so relatable. I actually paid a lot of money for a life coach have me write down all these tasks and then circle the ones that only I could do. That turned out to be 3-4 things. Anyone else is capable of chopping veggies, sweeping, etc. Can your family share the load more: what can you delegate?
❤❤❤
Thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️

I have ocd and add and my mother is most likely a hoarder
I dislike stuff around bc I like to clean but I have a closet full of containers in various colors and need help 🙄
Keep working as you feel motivated ❤️ I found I would have good days where I could get motivated to declutter a ton and on those days I wouldn’t challenge my gut instinct and I got rid of so much quickly ❤️❤️
@@minimalease I’m so scared of doing it wrong and I am an impulse giver and tosser however we live out of town so I have 20 minutes to get to the donation cite and I cannot tolerate it sitting at my hom🙁
I feel the same way everyday as soon as I get to the door 😢
Thanks for sharing ❤️
Karen here that's why I love large pictures over a couch Or a bet or a bet or a diner set whatever and then I keep just family photos as my smaller pictures
Somehow I have to have large pictures on a blank wall especially over my bed or sofa I cannot take large blank walls it makes me depressed Just like I cannot take Gray on walls or furniture Other than that I'm good to go
Totally get it we all get peace from different things there is no one size fits all when it comes to design ❤️❤️ thanks for sharing!
🥰
Thanks so much for watching ❤️❤️
