I’m really enjoying your ‘one bag at a time’ decluttering goal. You go girl!
Thank you!! 💃❤️
You did a real good job ! Not only about the decluttering/organizing part, but also with your mindset, and your ability to recognize what what the blocking point.
I'm very confident that you will succeed.
My tip is make your bed, put a sheet over the bed THEN put everything on your bed off the floor and everywhere you can see stuff, have a bin, a keep and donate boxes, vac and clean your bedroom then sort every out to where it goes cleaning the items along the way. 💐
your memories will be there, regardless of the stuff you have. I'm 68 and can tell you that you can't take your stuff with you. Make your space your own.
Very very true! Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️

You can make a scrapbook. The best choice for that is a binder. Take pictures of this items and write on the a sort story. In that way you will not have that fear any more. You can also read it if you need to remember your path.
Every bit cleaned is progress! And a whole bag of trash is great!! Today I cleaned out my sticker drawer, took out the trash and put some new zip ties up on my plastic fencing. Also touched up the paint on two items I will be hanging in my kitchen. Not a lot done, but this is the first day in a week in a half I’ve been well (head cold) and the heater was repaired. Did I mention I’m a senior?! 😅 Not too bad for an old gal. Wishing you a good move. ❤
With every trash bag that leaves, that's one step closer to your goal. Using a timer helps me to get things done that I'm not excited about. Usually, when the timer goes off, I'll resent it again and keep going. Getting started is the hardest part. Great job.
I wish u had a a friend like you , you seem nice despite your struggle . It’s hard so hard.
Hola! From Dominican Republic.
I was inmediatable connected with your content! This is me like 15 years in this road! My grand grand mother always told, is before everything thanks God for a new day, take a glass of water and get in the shower, I like to put in comfortable clothes like exercises tipe, open your windows so the grace of the lord come enter your house. I try to do this every time I need to declutter or clean my space.
I don't use organizers with dates. I just get blank lined notebooks and I can add my own dates at top of page and I can skip a day or week if I want.
Oooo thats a great idea!!
Me too. I like to draw cute pictures on mine too and write 3 small goals a day 😊
A simple 99 cent notebook will do.
I've started doing that 👍
That works best for me too because if u get depressed I won’t turn pages. So I write all my appointments on a page and hang it up .
I love your videos. I'm binge watching as I only found you today!
My hint to keep those things with cords (that you're keeping), tangle free, is to put each one in a zip lock bag with a piece of paper in it stating which phone or appliance it belongs to. No more guessing 🎉😂
Keep going. You're doing very well.
Single momma here. Its hard. My daughter is now 7yo and she is my world. I have depression, anxiety and more. Im also a full time caretaker for my mom.
Just know im here, i feel ya and youve got a new sister from this. Hugs momma youre doing fantastic!!
Thank you for being here ❤️
You are doing an amazing job!
Girlll it looks amazing... and thank you for this video, but the last one you did, i watched it on Saturday, and girlllll i cleaned out my whole closet 4 trash bags gone(its been months) .... soo yall now i can get more done today since you have a new video ❤
i am SO proud of you!!! 4 trash bags is AMAZINNG!! I honestly cant wait to get to the closet 🤣
You've got this! ❤️
@SimplyLibbyt thank you for posting it I needed it and yesss girl I know what you mean it was so hard trying to get clothes or anything🤣 It wasn't even in My plans on saturday but you lit a fire under my butt😁🤣😁🤣😁
Nice job! I like the one bag at a time idea as it works well for me trying to declutter different rooms. Then if I do more than one bag I feel like I did that much more! 😊🐦
One thing that helps me let go of items that have sentiment, is I take a picture of it. I can always go back through my pictures and remember. Takes up a lot less physical space.
Whenever I donate something I visualize the recipient as feeling as much joy in receiving it (freely given) as the joy I feel in parting with it. I have been through many "rough patches" in my 77 years on this planet. Especially during my first few years I only remember a few highlights (it was not the best childhood). Through the years I have remembered only a few highlights. What was especially helpful for me was when I went to college (late in life) and I did a doctoral dissertation that was an auto ethnography in which I dwelled on 3 particularly difficult eras in my life. I had to dig very deep to describe them (very painful to remember). The result was that the purging of these eras and placing them on paper was extremely helpful to get rid of the pain. What I did was like a self-therapy. As a result of this process, my later years have been much happier and I feel much lighter since I got rid of these BURDENS. Hope this helps. I know phd studies (and autoethnography) are not for everyone but I think journalling can do the same thing. Forgive the rambling. I just felt the need to share.
Watching your videos is so comforting 🫶
Thank you so much! This meant so much to me 😭
Great job today! I broke up with my ex last year about this time and had to move out of our rental house. It was so hard. My mom came into town and packed everything for me while I worked every day and I just did all the heavy lifting. Was packed and moved out in one week. The way you’re doing it looks so much more peaceful.
It's such a hard thing to go through, I'm proud of you for doing it, though! I'm so grateful that i have time to pack and find a place. It's made the process almost healing❤️
Take pictures and then journal about it in a notebook or whatever you want. You could title it “ How far I’ve come”
If you're not using your bedroom fan right now, it could probably fit under your bed. 🥰
I use carts and bins and totes to store my stuff and organize
You're doing great! At this rate your move will be easy peasy as far as boxing up your things. It's wonderful when you have those mental breakthroughs and can move forward another step. =)
I am really hoping so! Lol easy moving is always the best!
Oh Libby, note books, candles and cook books are constantly on my NOT to buy list. I’m only ”allowed”to buy new ones when I’ve used everyone I’ve got at home. Or for cook books if I’ve borrowed it from the library AND actually made at least 3 recipes from it 🙃😉
Well done
You are amazing 🎉 well done on tackling the corner that was annoying you the most and putting things where they belong ❤ so proud of you Libby ! So stoked for you. Keep doing what you doing, it's working 💪 love your videos can't wait for the next one xxx
And you took that trash out again. Loving it Libby 👌
The fact you noticed me taking the trash out gives me so much motivation to take the trash out 🤣
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
I don't use organisers at all, I just do what I want when I want. 💐
Less is more. If you can control your spending that is the ticket. Only have minimal cloths. One Coat, One sweater, 7 pants, 10 shirts. When you buy new cloths....you must get rid of something from your closet. All cloths need to have a place and always kept in that space. Books? Don't spend money from your budget on books. Use the darn library. Its free!!! Save your money for a vacation or car or your retirement. You can melt your leftover candles and pour all the left overs into a empty full jar. Looks pretty layered in colors. Just buy long wicks. Spend more time out of the house. Walking and exercise help with your mind clutter. Same with food. Less junk and more fresh food will give your mind and body a better life.
Hello! New sub from NC!
I have heard it helps to take a pic of things you link to memories. Then you have a reminder, it might help you to let the item go. ❤️
I love this idea! Thank you!
Great work!! Love ur realness:) def break things into smaller parts if it’s overwhelming or making u putting it off. Ten min increments or one drawer at a time!:) (I JUST got rid of a ton of old phone boxes 😂😂)
That's what I do when I clean my bathroom. I hate doing it but breaking it up makes it better
I love your blue dog pullover😍 Do you remember where you got it from?
I've been binge watching your videos since yesterday, I'm really glad that I found you🥰
Great job!!!
Thank you!!
I donate books to local diner and laundromat
Thats a great idea!!
😇
Good job
Melt your used candkes down and add them to others the refill others and toss out almost gone jars. Like that yellow one you just showed lol melt dump toss
😊
❤
I’m new to your channel 😇 just started following you this morning 🥰 I can relate on so many levels with you 👆 you motivate so many people I’m sure ♥️
Thank you so much for being here!! ❤️❤️
New to your Chanel I have my present phone keep my before phone then I get rid of the rest . I believe in the states you have places that give you money for your old phones why don’t you do this and put it towards your new light . 😊 fun Chanel anything I feel a pull to not being able to declutter I take a picture of then let it go .
If I see ur flip-flops in your room u gotta put them on right there Live on CZcams
❤❤🎉
Can you give anything to someone else to use ?
How many pets do you have?
Burning a candle on a cart with wheels is extremely dangerous
I honestly didn't think about that lol i don't leave it unattended though but i appreciate that!
We have give a ways for the single for mom group I help lead. If you have stuff to donate.
Why u got on socks take them off put on ur pink &grey flip-flops 🩴 u hiding from me
I think you talk too much SORRY
It's amazing what we keep isn't it. I think we all keep phone boxes lol. Whenever I think of my past, it feels as though I'm referring to a close friend but I know it's me. I, like yourself have grown since then and we're technically the same people but in so many ways we're not. We're amazed at what we've been through even though we're hard on ourselves. We are power houses and amazingly resilient.
I struggle with depression, anxiety, executive disfunction, and PTSD. I love making a master list of all the things I need to do just as a mental dumping onto paper. Then I make a daily list of what I want to do from that master list. The key for me is to make small daily lists, otherwise I won't do them. And you know, I have days that I just don't do any off my daily list just because.
It's all about mental capacity and doability that day because everyday is different. I'm trying to be kinder to myself and it's something we should all practice.
Love your keep it real videos dear friend. I wish I lived closer 😊hugs ❤️ 🫂
I love the way you said that. it's like a close friend that we are visiting. ❤️
We have been through sooo much, friend and we are still here to tell the tale!
Making a huge list is such a good idea, and I need to do that!
Thank you so much for being here!! ❤️❤️
It also has to do with how your body is doing! Some days my back hurts too much for anything much. So be careful with yourself. 🥰
I’m procrastinating by watching you declutter instead of dealing with my own life. I have a LOT more stuff than you do. I have lived in a three-story house for the past 16 years and I’m ashamed of how much I’ve accumulated. 😞
I thought them were ur flip-flops I'm waiting for you to make up a lie bout not wearing flip-flops 🩴 on TV everybody I watched wore flip-flops 🩴 in their videos u can't it should say Libby why u not wearing ur flip-flops 🩴 on tv
