    I just got a digital frame and I love it. Seeing photos now that have been stored on the computer for years and I never looked at!

    Clutter stresses me out. I took care of my pack rat/hoarder dad for ten years. So these are my rules.
    If you bring it into the room, take it out of the room;
    If you drop it, pick it up;
    If it’s dirty clothes or dishes, put it in the hamper or the sink;
    If it’s a blanket, fold it up;
    If it’s a game, put it away;
    If it’s junk mail, throw it out.
    Once you declutter, you’ve got to keep on top of it. (See the first section.)
    Time how long it takes to do just the breakfast dishes, or just the dinner dishes. Then time how long it takes to do a day’s worth of dishes.
    In the morning, after eating breakfast and washing the dishes (less than five mins to wash), I make my bed and scoop the litter box (2-3 mins total). The bedroom looks (and smells…the litter box is in there) much better.
    As soon as I get the mail, the junk gets tossed, and bills get sorted, and paid within one day.
    Surfaces (tables, and floors) are much easier to dust and vacuum if clear of most stuff.

      @@wendybroadhurst8658 I’ve tried it. It works. For now I’m using PetCo’s SoFresh Unscented Grass Seed litter. I tried crushed walnut litter, but it doesn’t clump well at all.

    This was such a great video Becky! ❤ I for sure am now following this rule as well as I’ve decluttered and hopefully you will see it in more in my Slowly Simplifying my Spaces series on my channel. ❤

    After 3 years of my own decluttering I find it very hard to go to my sisters house! Gives me claustrophobia.

    Decor is the hardest one for me because I love interior design, but visual clutter stresses me out. Lately I’ve been removing decor & “decorating” more with live plants. I find it much more peaceful now in our living room.

    One more thing - My electric toothbrush lasts for months before it needs charging again, so I started storing after use in the medicine cabinet.

    I do like the thought of minimalism, saying this, Your home looks like a hotel. Why have shelves? I do not like clutter at all---I do like the "lived" in look. Example, go into a shop with a few things out and it looks like they are about to close up business. You go into a well organized, color coordinated store and it feels visually satisfying. Staging is everything. I will take some of your ideas for future use. 30 sec. rule is awesome !

  • @janethunt4037
    @janethunt4037 Před rokem +4

    I would love to see some visual examples of rule #1 of before and after. I think you are also implying to not listen to the "layering" concept that I hear about. Just let your knick-knacks stand on their own, like I see behind you. Is that right?

      Minimalism isn’t about rushing from thing to thing. It’s about cutting out excess to have time for the things that matter. And if we are just learning, and very interested, this very short 11 minute video is useful of our time. Listen to it while you clean the kitchen or while you clean the toilets and sinks.
