Instead of thinking I am decluttering my whole house, I think about one drawer, one cabinet, one closet at a time.
It took four months of being focused to get the clutter under control. I'm not a minimalist, but I am no longer embarrassed. My home is ready for friends and family any day because the mess is gone.
I declutter with my phone I must admit…..but I’m listening to Simply This Life! 😃 Its like I’m decluttering with a buddy!
One of my mistakes is decluttering and then leaving the pile in plain sight. Then little eyes see it and protest! So I recommend black garbage bags or cardboard boxes. And then move it into your vehicle so it goes to it’s next home more fluidly! Funny how if you never mention it how sometimes they never ask for that item again! But the threat of goodwill makes them want them LOL
Lol I remember those days! I used to hide toys in the garage and then pull them out 6 months later - brand new toy!! Lol orrrr if they barely played with it then I knew it was buh-bye to goodwill 😎😂👏🏻♥️
Yes, you need to change your spending/shopping habits or else you will be decluttering once again! I've decluttered before I moved in 2014 but have decluttered several more times since then. The more you declutter the more you want to get rid of and have a simpler life. It's kind of like a high.
Yes, it's addictive, I love it!
Those empty spaces are a sense of freedom!!! Been on my minimalist journey 2 years.... Love that feeling of having empty clean spaces!!!That is motivation within itself!! We realize that life can go on without those items.
All great info!! Thank you.
I still keep items for my fantasy self, or the what ifs, and also the “if I loose 5lbs, need to put all these items in a box and choose a date to decluttered these. Lesley England x
Our entire house is 600 sq feet and so I was able to do my initial declutter in about 5 days. From there, I halted the flow of items into my home, which made a huge difference! I then have moved more slowly and focused on organizing what I owned and making sure everything had a home. I am now 4 years in and each weekend I pick 1 area of my home (1 drawer, 1 closet, one rack, one tub) and review what is in it and remove anything I am not using. For me, this is just maintenance....
Edited to add: I am a minimalist and have very little furniture/storage, so that makes the process easier.
Listen to a declutter video while you are decluttering to help you stay motivated.
I love that!!!
I decluttered my house and brought almost 4 car loads of things to the donation center! I can name 3 items that my husband has asked me for. So it was still worth it to declutter, and replace those 3 things. 😃
As a matter a fact I sold 2 draws cause they got empty and one sectional cause I just started loving the space in the house
For me decluttering is a lifestyle, I always have a bag or box for donation, I do bigger decluttering after every season.
Great tips!!!! I’m well on my decluttering journey, but I still love to watch decluttering videos to keep me motivated. It was a great idea to have more advanced tips/suggestions! I always love to see a new Candice video-been with you for years now! 🙌👏💖
Loved the what if I don't keep it ❤️ I needed that
Oh yeah it was too overwhelming. It has been a journey for me. My husband is not on board and I do not bug him about this decluttering. I learned that small daily "project" is progress. It started with a capsule wardrobe and went from there. Thanks for the information on what not to do!
I know you love wearing make-up. So, I wanted to tell you that out of all your pretty lipsticks, this one is my favorite on you. Matches you and your tone perfectly ❤️
Oh thank you!
I’m doing this because I’m embarrassed at everything I have collected over the years. We are renting this house, so we will move eventually. I don’t want a huge amount of useless stuff to move. It’s easier to clean, now. I’m still working on my garage. I’m out of school in two weeks, so I’ll have more time to dedicate to finishing.
Always love your video 😍
You always have great tips and present them with joy. 😀
Great tips!!!
I’m early and love your videos ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you 😊
Yay 1st already liked ✅❤️
You have RummiKub. Dawn from the Minimal Mom would be so proud. 😀
Thank you!! Ur videos are so helpful to me. I live in a mid terrace uk city house so pretty small place luckily it is 3 bedroom but compact and occupied lol I’ve decluttered so much but it never seems like it 😩
To go along with the having a plan, I think one of the other mistakes people make (myself included at first) is not knowing your preferred style. It isn't going to be 'one size fits all' and knowing what your taste is. I mean neutrals or colorful, streamlimed or cozy, classic or trendy.
I’ve been cutting down on my shopping and decluttering I’ve managed to save over £2,000 (£1,000 from last year and £1,,000 from the last 4 months) because of this I’ve just bought a new electric bicycle x
Yes I need a list. I started with my lip gloss. 😆
And my 2nd China cabinet
Ohhh good for you!
I strongly suggest decluttering within your own home before offering things to others in the family; grandma's doily, grandpa's unused tools,, and so on. Otherwise it can easily become rolling clutter.. yes, things left your home, but lots came back in as the whole family began decluttering!
What do you do if you have a spouse that won’t let you declutter?
Start with your stuff. Hubs has the smallest bedroom in the house to himself for his junk. It drove me insane, but I got my junk, kids stuff, and shared stuff under control. Now, I don't mind the messy room upstairs or the stuff in the entertainment center. Starting with my stuff built my skills and confidence. A few of the precious extras are stored in a tote in the basement to make Hubs happy, but I found peace without tossing any of his stuff.
Agreed. Give hubby his own space to stuff his stuff and if you find his stuff around the house you will know where to place them, at the same time he knows where to find them. My husband has his half of the closet, his tools, and his studio, but the rest of the house is open season 😂
I'm on the same note. My husband is a hoarder for sentimental items. He just can't let go. We have a room and attic full of his stuff. He did join me slowly to declutter a bunch of items in the house. Now, I'm convincing him to do the same in attic, he is not as rigid, it will take time to get to a empty attic state.
I have seen several times on your channel that you hang your measuring cups/spoons on the inside of your kitchen cabinet doors. Do you have a secret to keep them from clanging when you open the doors?
My WHY is so I don’t have to think about all the crap anymore lol
Yes I watch CZcams n my decluttering doesn’t seems to be moving at all.
What color are your walls painted?
Random question, is your pink sweatshirt Hanes brand? Only asking because it’s beautiful and looks comfy!
It's old navy MENS!
Now another “what if” truck is what if there’s a pandemic and I can’t get it 😅😓🤪
I too am about two years into decluttering my home, my work space, and my life! I have recently dived into my dreaded area of decluttering...PICTURES! Any advice for what to do with those cherished VHS, DVD, and printed photos??? HELP!!!!!!
Can you go digital on them all. Save space but you can still view them
@@sunflower7766 I am so overwhelmed by digitalizing them. Meaning what storage device or site is best? User friendly? Is there an online access from anywhere option for photos and videos?
@@tanyaread4215 I'm not well up on it but I would look for services in your local area which might be able to do it for you.
Or try to declutter a bit at a time and only keep what you will look through or refer back to. Buy nice photo albums or picture boxes to keep them in to enjoy pictures properly.
I'm in the process of decluttering three boxes of my kids drawings so I've bought folders and only keeping a section from each age so I or they can look at them. Better then three boxes stuffed in my loft never to be looked at again.
Sorry I can't be more help x
Trick not truck *
"Just borrow from the neighbors"? yeah, right; you don't live in MY neighborhood HA. And further, what, you still live in the 1950s?
This is incredibly rude... yes my neighbors are kind people.
@@FancyThatwithCandice you apparently did not or cannot read the comment; never was it stated that YOU had bad neighbors. I stated that MY neighbors are ones I would never want to borrow from [as they are criminals and proud of it]. And as for being so presumptuous as to have others -- family and friends -- be available to meet your needs at your convenience and their inconvenience of being your personal supply house, then you are the one who is very rude. Asking to borrow a crockpot is NOT an emergency where you would rush over to ask a serious favor to save your child's life to drive to the E.R. instead of wait for an ambulance. Remember the wise line: Polonius counsels his son Laertes before he embarks on his visit to Paris. He says, “Neither a borrower nor a lender be; for loan oft loses both itself and friend.”
@@safepethaven really? She said very specifically when you have alot of people over and you need another crockpot if that isn't you, then that's ok but don't act like a child either, if you dont agree, then unsub and move on, or just move on period
@@natalieeubank4533 You missed the point as expected in your clouded interpretation. Thank you for showing your true colors.
