You also have to take breaks to calm down and recreation for yourself. Always busy, busy, can get to us. I know-always going.

Good tips. My mom taught me to clean as you go. If you make or notice a mess, clean it up now and don't let it stack up to become a major chore. It only takes a few seconds to minutes to do and never overwhelms you. I do a full house clean only once every other week and light dust vacuum once a week. The other advantage is your house generally looks decent all the time and does not bother you as much.

I'm 54 years old but new to the decluttering game. I am enjoying the small but significant progress I've made in just a few weeks. You are one of my top 2 inspirations & I've searched a TON of channels about decluttering. Thanks so much for sharing with us. You are a bigger blessing than u know. Hope you have a great rest of the weekend 😀 Take care ✌🏽❤️

I stopped trying to pick things up as I walked through my house to put things away. It added so much mental energy to my full load that I was miserable. Now I just putter around for a few minutes every day doing these tiny tasks. Being solely focused on puttering gives my mind the time to wander rather than trying o cram more into my full mind.

Those moments where you are waiting for something and find something to do, I believe Dana from a Slob Comes Clean calls them awkward pauses. It's amazing how much you can get done during awkward pauses.

Great tip about pucking up an item and putting it where it should go as you walk by.

Your videos are always cheering Taryn ~ you identify achievable solutions to sometimes what seem like interminable problems of what to do with 'stuff''. For instance, you've made me realise today that if I put coat hooks on the back of my bedroom door to take my bulky bathrobe & dressing gowns out of my wardrobe (freeing much needed space) it makes life easier! As the bedroom door is left open all day (to let light into my hallway) the bathrobe & dressing gowns are not seen, and therefore don't become visual clutter :)

I don’t do laundry every day, but I assess every day and toss in one load every other day or so. Doesn’t overwhelm me with too much on one day.

Thank you--great tips and motivation as always! Our house is a wreck, but I always make my bed as soon as I get out of it. It keeps the cats from trashing it out, and just makes things nicer.

I do something similar with the walls in my shower. I use a microfiber cloth to wash myself. After I shower, I use my very simple and inexpensive body wash on the microfiber cloth to wipe down the tiles. Then the walls rinse off when my husband takes his shower. This has cut way down on the dirty build-up in the grout and stopped the mold from growing in the corners. In fact, I started doing this because the grout was so dirty, and now there's almost no discoloration at all.

Those little add-on tasks really add up and make a big difference!

I thought I was the only person to open my mail when walking to decide what to throw. Im 67 so i need to be more careful and not trip. Your tips are the best😊

[suewolf]

Yes, it is being conscious of your surroundings that help you

[lleocttx]

Very good ideas, thank you. I found it strange that family members leave plates; cups, bottles etc all over the house. Five person household and raised two sons but I don’t remember it ever happened. Everything was brought back to the kitchen so I assumed it was like that everywhere…

Good tips! It sounds like you have a kitchen routine that's working for you, but I find it helpful to go one step farther: We load and set the dishwasher to run every night (on delay so it goes while we sleep) and complete all hand-washing to sit overnight to dry (unless something needs to soak overnight). Then I always put away all clean/dry dishes from the dishwasher and countertop while the coffee is brewing first thing the next morning. This leaves the dishwasher, sink, and countertop empty to start the day so dirty dishes easily go into the dishwasher or get hand-washed throughout the day and they never pile up (I've had to "train" my family to join me in this). I used to run the dishwasher at random times through the day when it seemed full, but then sometimes while we're generating dirty dishes throughout the day there's not an easy way to deal with them. Parts of the coffee maker are usually in the dishwasher from the day before, so that's a great forcing function - even if I wake up feeling too lazy to unload the dishwasher I have to do it in order to get my ☕️!

My husband can walk pass items on the stairs multiple times without taking them up or down the stairs. Ugh! Oh! We've been married 51 years.

I worked in retail for years & fell into the "next best thing". I started my decluttering journey after my move from another state in 2022. Unfortunately, there's still a lot of stuff. I definitely know now that stuff that got packed up for the move should have been sold or donated. 😔

hampers in each room are great-i did this too--but I had to take the lids off or the kids just piled the dirty clothes on top or next to the hamper! I also experienced the problem of the kids' clean clothes piling up on the nearest chair-to the point where I dubbed it a 'chair-drobe'

This is the best video I’ve seen in a long time and I watch a lot of YouTube. Doing things while listening to YouTube is genius. I could do three loads of laundry in one day, fold or hang up, and put away. I rather do laundry than dust. I usually opt to feather dust because I hate to move things to dust. Sometimes I thoroughly dust the room that is in my zone that week and feather dust all the other rooms. Thanks for a great video.
