Clutter is like having a roommate that takes up space but doesn't contribute to the rent.
SO true!!
I can really relate to taking out all my clothes and piling them onto the bed. Because I'm a world-class procrastinator, I'll never address the mess in one day. Instead, I'll agonize about decisions to be made. At the end of the day, a significant chunk of the clothes mountain will be on the floor. Days or weeks later...... Little by little, I'm improving. Has anyone seen my keys? LOL
Thank you for sharing! 😊
When God says he's going to pour out overflowing blessings on you
He has on me I have a screened in porch an old home with few closets and few cabinets in the kitchen I have two car detached garage and a storage unit When one of my brothers passed away and the other one decided to move up here suddenly and live with me which I had an extended an invitation We quickly threw everything in the garage and a storage unit Then came a serious illness my bf died , a surgery then came a baby.....in ICU four months came home with a feeding tube and oxygen Oct.
2 emergency care children Nov.
I have been decluttering every single day for a very long time now talk about spending time looking for something I always say I would have 10 years of my life back
My house was built in 1952 they did not have many things to store then I always say that God has blessed me so I can bless others I've given so so so much away and everybody still says how do you have anything left in your house but I do and in my garage and in my screen and porch in my storage I have taken literally truckloads One of the thrift stores over by me I don't even think I'll take another thing of mine
I'm not interested in being a minimalist Just simple living
God has been so wonderful to me in my life I just want to get things cleared out so I can spend more time doing for Him I know I am now giving blankets to a families for the winter socks children's clothes taking bags of baby clothes to The Crisis Pregnancy Center but it is true the minimum mom says it's like peeling an onion and I'll go through a room I'll grab so much stuff and then the next time I'll grab more. I crave the empty spaces it's so true you breathe so much easier
Whenever anybody walks in my house and they comment on anything pretty even if it's Sparks joy for me I give it to them I am a giver and I'm not a shopper I bought some Christmas presents but I try so hard to get things that will disappear like candy or candles Joshua Becker says you can't clean clutter my daughter says part of the issue is I'm ADHD and I have a hard time staying on task but I'm getting much better because I run around saying stay on task stay on task stay on task that certainly has helped me Not missing one single thing that's left my home I pray no more interruptions and I can finally
Get Ur Done
Thank you so much for sharing!!
My decluttering approach for clothing: for each season, pack two weeks worth of clothes, as though you were going on a trip. Then, get rid of everything else for that season.
Great idea, thank you for sharing!
Yes that's awesome! 💜
The 2.5 days looking for lost items is sobering! Declutter little and declutter often is a great concept.
So sobering, right? Thank you so much for watching! :)
@@tarynmaria_ I just put a sticky note with a giant red 2.5 on the closet door. It's in the center of the house so will serve as a great reminder to set things free so others can use them. That way, I'm hoping to cut my lost-item-hunting time way down.
That's all??? I would have thought longer 😂😂😂😂
So happy to find you because I am 67, and becoming a hoard. I want to free myself while I can still get around 😌 😊
Awesome, I am so happy you are here! Let me know if there is any particular content you think might help and that you'd want to see! :)
Me too. 😊
You will feel so good! I started 5 years ago as retirement was looming. Slowly, I got rid of so much and simplified life. Still working on the last 10%.
Biggest thing I figured out after owning 5 homes is to not keep more than you can fit. (of course clothing and shoes do not apply!) lol but in the bathrooms, in the pantry, in the hall closets, guest room closets etc. I do not overbuy household supplies anymore, I wait for them to almost run out. Why store it? Maybe one extra and stock up on tp and ppr towels is an exception. Tip: If you have to cram things into a space, you need to get rid of some stuff.
For sure! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Very well said!
Get those photos off your phone and backed up! I have heard so many people losing thousands of photos because their phone was damaged. Thank you for this PSA :)
Thanks Kimberly!! :)
With all my android LG phones my pictures have always backed up automatically to google photos so never had to worry loosing any maybe other phones are different
That happened to my daughter. Plus, her camera was also stolen a few yrs before, lost many photos
I wondered about that but I don’t know how to do it.
@@lornadesmarais-zo4pr find a local high school teen to help you for a few bucks/)
One thing a day…totally works! After some time you’re like wow…I’ve accomplished so much!
Totally! So much easier!
Great points! It’s nice to watch someone actually open a messy drawer and clear it, rather than some videos where they have 5 things in the drawer and say it’s messy when it clearly isn’t. I watched one the other day and they had no mess but said it was messy and in the comments someone actually said, did you throw anything away? As they just emptied a neat drawer and didn’t show if they got rid of anything. It was all for show, Ridiculous. Thank you for the real thing 😊
Aw thank you so much!! :)
I totally agree with you! I think 15 min a day make a huge difference, like the compound effect
So much easier, right?
My mom always said this. Only she said just start with 10 minutes somewhere / anywhere. Of course, once you get started, you'll want to keep going. Sometimes getting started takes longer than doing the actual chore! (Like my son and his homework. I kid you not, it could take him 2 hours to get started on it, but it only takes him 10 minutes to do it! I'm not even exaggerating! exaggerating! )
The going through every item and asking myself if it Sparks joy, would be just a big waste of precious time to me. It would just take too long to decide on some things. Time that could be spent on just getting things done. I also am with you on not throwing everything on your bed, but instead, going through your closet in sections. Otherwise, you'd have to rehang everything that you wanted or needed to keep also. Just more unnecessary work. Plus like the one commenter said, a lot of it would end up on the floor, cuz you'd run out of time in the time available, and need to get to bed. 🤔
Decluttering in manageable chunks is key but what that is varies from person to person based on energy level and stamina. It even varies from day to day for each person! If I had tried the Konmari method on my clothes at the start of my decluttering journey, I would've quit before I even started! I've peeled away so many layers of that onion over the last few years and built my decluttering (decision making) muscles to the point that I probably could do it that way but I still choose not to. 😜
Yes - definitely varies day to day! I think I'm the same as you - I've been peeling the onion layers :)
Subscribed as soon as you told me that you taught your children the valuable lesson of thinking about the future and what happens to over consumed products😁
Thank you❤
Awesome! I’m so glad you’re here 😊❤️
I used to collect books. Now I have many thousands and want to declutter but the whole job makes me feel totally overwhelmed. Every time I try to start it just seems hopeless. I never thought I would feel this way. Love your vids.
Thank you so much! Books are so tough - maybe you could start with a goal of one book a day - and then commit to getting those 7 books out of the house each week? I think small chunks could be less overwhelming!
Putting like items with like items was sobering for me. I realized exactly what I had and how many I had, and also I realized that some things I couldn't possibly use up in the next at least 5 years! So I remember that every time I get the urge to go shopping to get that instant gratification high. You don't need 3 highliters or 3-4 blushes ladies... I've had one of those Milani luminoso blushes that I use a lot, I'm starting to see the pan, but realistically I still have at least a year's worth of product left... same with eyeshadow
I used to do the same with make up! I would have multiple bronzers and blushes and now I just have one of each that I use daily 😊
I like how you think! The easiest way is best.😊❤
Thank you so much! ❤
I really appreciate your thoughts on where our stuff goes when we throw it away or donate it. That's the biggest problem for me.
Thank you so much!!
Your entry way sideboard has 2 cupboards, you could easily assign each child a shelf in a cupboard for their school bags and have the last one for shoes or such.
I think I need a decluttering class for our fridge. Everything else is pretty good.
Thank you for sharing!
I just took everything out. I did re organize and didn’t get rid of as much as I had hoped (had an event at home and needed room/ closet back together - so I decided to put back in much better order and get rid of things as I go.. like jewelry, hats, socks. Thanks for the advise declutter little and often - will use this now!! 😊I am a classic dresser too - w a pc or 2 that is trendy.
Awesome Nova! And great job on the closet and decluttering!!
These are great tips; very practical 🙌🏼
Thank you! 😊
I can boast of rarely spending any time hunting for something. Important items I cannot afford to misplace have a designated space (keys, wallet, dog leashes, scissors). I do not have a place for everything and everything is not in place. But I did take the time and effort to pick a designated space for the most important things and some few incidentals. It makes a world of difference.
Awesome, great idea to be sure you have designated spaces for items you don't want to lose!
8:55 I encourage my kids to make something with stuff already in our house, this year one of my kids made a mermaid costume with my leggings
Great idea!
My policy is I will buy costume accessories, or if you want a costume as a gift like for a birthday we will do that.
Hi Taryn! Just found your video today, was ready to subscribe at Rule #1! This was wonderful, and I'm excited to share this video with others, and see more of your other videos. Thank you for sharing, and having such clear, practical, and kind rules!
What a wonderful comment, Ruth! Thank you so much for watching and for also sharing the video with others, I'm so glad you liked it!!
Great tips; thanks!
You are so welcome!
I would love a great video on clothes care for longevity. Please. ❤ I love your sweater! That is awesome it looks new!
Thank you so much for the great video idea! :)
I actually used a journal off amz called Throw It Away by Guru Notebooks, it helped me think through if I really wanted to keep the items or not.
Thanks for sharing, I'll have to check that book out!
Please tell me more about this journal.
New subscriber. This is where I am right now. Thanks ~
Awesome, welcome Deb - so glad you’re here!
Thank you🎉
You are welcome! :)
These are great tips. I am starting now, so that when New Years resolutions come around, I have already made a dent.
Thank you so much! You got this!
Thanks for the inspiration Taryn, I'm going to look at my phone to see if I can delete any apps that I don't want/need 😊
Awesome! You are so welcome!
Great Tips ❤
Thank you!!
My clothes rule has been - something new in , something has to go out. I try to keep it a like item, this will prevent having too much of one thing. I also find the hanger flip rule works really well for me.
Good luck everyone.
Thank you for sharing those tips!
New sub here! I’m really going to try the techniques you have suggested 🙏🏻! Thank you 😊
Yay, welcome! I am so glad you are here!
Do you show more pics of before and after? I especially need help with my bathroom toiletries, hair stuff etc because I do not have a linen closet or cabinet drawers.TYIA
Thank you!! Simple but all the areas I struggle in.
You are so welcome!
Lucky you, "we". I'm it!
I really liked you tips, motivation is a toughie! or should I say, “the lack of motivation”?ha! I curious, I didn’t see 409 on your list of products. I cant live without the stuff! Best degreaser ever! Makes your kitchen shine. Am I the only one?
Thanks Allison! I used to use 409, and I think it works well, but I've been using a homemade cleaner lately (just water and liquid dish soap!), which is working really well!
The best tipp for an organized looking ! home: Hide dirty plates, glasses and pans in the oven. Shut the door of the oven. Wash the dishes in the evening, then. Or whenever is the best time of the day for your.
Thanks for sharing that hack!!
😆That is not bad advice! That could be a lifesaver if company comes by at a moment's notice.
Great tip: Write Down your WHYs. Mine are:
1- The serenity of an organized , airy home.
2- Saving time, tidying & cleaning.
3- manoeuvrability
4- Less is more, it is practical, wise & chic.
Love these!
I don't throw things away I find a home for them at a local church yearly giveaway.
❤❤❤
If you move your photos to a hard drive, make sure you have a back up of the hard drive. We lost a lot of family photos when a hard drive went bad back in the day.
Ahhh so sorry that happened!
10:35 that's me 😇 I open many.. in one time
Too funny!
KonMari comes from a Japanese organizing consultant named Marie Kondo ^_^
A few of my friends donate Halloween costumes to goodwill. Or take to used clothing store. Wanted to share this idea.
Thank you for sharing!!
Or buy the costumes at consignment or goodwill
My why is... I'm older and I don't want my kids to have a mess when I die for the kids to have to clean. I'm doing really well. It's called Swedish death cleaning
Great job!!
I decluttered nearly all the black peaces of clothing i had. I felt a rebirth. Now i don’t wear rainbows but plain colors pastel and i don’t buy really often.
Love that! I am also getting away from black - realizing it's too harsh for me!
Thanks for this video! Really helpful! Also, wondering you mentioned single use items to avoid like qtips. I'm curious what you use instead? I've tried those plastic ones and they don't really work. Thanks!!!
You are so welcome! Honestly what I do is clean out my ears with a washcloth and soap in the shower now. But I've even heard of people using a tissue wrapped finger instead of qtips :)
I pull everything out only if I’m deep cleaning my closet. Otherwise I just pull items out that no longer fit or I no longer like. It’s hard when you still like the stuff but there’s reasons your not reaching for the items.
Yes! I have stuff that I really like but I just never wear it too!
I actually pulled out the clothes that are too small for me now, and will try them on again in a year. If they still don't fit, they're getting donated.
Once you reach a point where your place is decluttered and organized, just be sure to pick up daily, weekly, or whatever works to keep all clutter at bay, and never shove stuff somewhere and forget it. That was our biggest mistake over the past 40 years of marriage. Also, avoid buying at big box stores! Your not saving any money if not using it all. Instead, you just end up storing the excess. Stop doing it.
Thank you, Ann! I am so guilty of sticking stuff somewhere and forgetting where I put it!
What if you lose your phone??
@@lindak990 if you declutter and organize you are more likely to find it 😂
❤❤
Thank you!!
Hi I'm trying I got so overwhelmed and some things you can't just throw in the bins so now I still have them in containers I don't have a car so it makes it hard to get those bulky bigger items out.or down to Salvos to the second hand shop 🤔 ..stressful.
That’s amazing that you’ve started! You didn’t get all your stuff overnight so it’s going to take time to declutter - but little by little you’ll get there!
Just subscribed. I have so much stuff, inherited a lot from my other half’s mom and dad who were divorced, and some from my mom who recently passed. My other half unexpectedly and suddenly passed away last year at age 58. I’ve been down, plus have major heath issues thr require surgery, knees, back, etc. I’m in pain a lot of the time so I figure why bother, I’ll never finish any declutterring when I can barely take care of my most essential needs right now. Help!
I'm so sorry to hear that :( Try to do what you can but focus on your health number one ❤
I love cleaning and organizing and there is no better feeling than decluttering and donating the items.
I feel really guilty about the money I wasted purchasing the items but donating them makes me feel better.
Cleaning a home that does not have clutter makes cleaning easy and enjoyable.
I feel guilty too but definitely donating helps and it's so nice to not have to clean as much when you have less clutter! Thank you for commenting!
Toilet paper doesn’t bring me joy but it’s just a necessity. 😂
In all seriousness I’m embarrassed to have anyone over, including my son and best friend.
When my brothers and I were growing up we made all of our Halloween costumes with the help from our Mom. We had some truly amazing costumes… way better than store bought costumes. My son never had a store bought costume either and loved his costumes. All of us had to decide what we wanted to be and wear within a week to a month early just in case we had to buy something for the costume. If we had to get something we would go to a store like Good Will with the exception of the makeup.
That's so great - we used to make all our costumes growing up too! My mom made them all!
What kind of stick vac do you use?😊
Hi! I have the Dyson one: bit.ly/3yh4k58 ☺
Free cycle pages and groups
Yes, love those groups!!
Can you direct us to the video on decluttering an entryway?
Yes! It's the end screen link but it's also here :) czcams.com/video/Zny8BqimdQM/video.htmlsi=7BE0cRK7JZt4HgEg
De cluttered isn’t my problem it is getting rid of the items. I can’t afford to have it picked up and it would take me a million trips to the donation place. I don’t live around free pick up donation haulers . Everything I have to get rid of is expensive and not worn or used. Lots of clothing, furs boot’s shoes never worn tags on . And lots of doll collections, doll houses and doll furniture still in the boxes . It’s getting out of the house that’s the problem. I’ve called places but they don’t come to my area
Oh wow! I usually don't like to sell things but maybe that would be an option - like Facebook Marketplace? Sounds like you have some great stuff!
@@tarynmaria_ I already have some on FB .. but I did find a buyer for everything today on Craigslist.. I may not get what i could sell things for myself but it’s better than nothing.. if it were used items I’d probably just dump them but all my things are brand new. Thank you ..
Fundraiser garage sales
Costumes. U would do things like buying sets at toy store that my boys would use to play with after Halloween. One year they put on their class A uniforms and went trick or treating as boy scouts.
So cute!! Love that.
Hubs doesn't spark joy, decision made.
Nooooooo haha!
😂😂😂😂
Good content but dang girl I had to turn it off. Your hand
Movements were making me dizzy
Whoops!!
Pardon me🤯? Who has money to purchase stuff? This is an old, heavily debunked assumption made re people who need to declutter(!). I had apartment challenges so needed to move fast into whatever was available. It was a mad rush so too much stuff came with me. This happened more than once. I am stunned re the assumptions in this video.
I appreciate your perspective. Many people, for various reasons, find themselves with more belongings than they need. Decluttering, KonMari, Swedish Death Cleaning - these methods help people simplify their lives.
A lot of people buy things they really do not need if they stop and think about it, or buy things that are useful for some time and then put aside, thinking they will need it maybe again.....but that does not happen and THEN it is just 'stuff'. I do not think anyone just buys stuff to clutter. It is just something that happens to nearly everyone, given enough time.
@@annsalty5615 I understand what y’re saying, but, respectfully, this is not my point.
Soon as u said rule u lost me.
