NEVER BE AFRAID TO THROW THINGS AWAY. I say this as an employee of a thrift shop that regularly gets to sort through donations. Ask yourself about every item you think you should donate: Why am I getting rid of this? Would I buy this? Your local thrift shop DOES NOT WANT your chipped mugs, stained shirt, old shoes, or random parts to kitchen appliances. They will just THROW IT IN THE TRASH ANYWAY, and are you okay with making them take care of your trash?? (It's costing them money that could be going to whatever cause they support!) Just use the black garbage bag please!! Or recycle if you can. I wish everyone could spend just one day at a donation center. Let me tell you....I donate VERY LITTLE of what leaves my house! Thanks for being real, Dawn. Don't ever be afraid to speak truth on the decluttering subject. YOU ROCK!!!

[rebeccab_bwlt]

An hour and a half of Dawn? It’s like a Minimal Mom movie! I love it.

I want to note something for us poor people that can't just go to the store and buy what we need when it is needed.... you can still get lots of great tips from minimalist videos like this! Use it as a guide and don't get frustrated that you can't get rid of as many things as they do. Just do what you can. 😊 even though I have to keep lots of things just in case, I still find so many things I have had as a backup that really didn't even work well and was just making life harder... like that spare can opener that got stuck EVERY time I opened the drawer !!! I tested it and it barely works! I finally threw it away yesterday after it being in my way for over two years 😅. These videos are soooo inspiring 😊

[littlewillowhomestead]

After losing my son two years ago, I started to let things pile up in the closets in the cabinets and in my daughters room and play space. I am so glad that I happened upon your videos. They have been so helpful. I’ve been able to clean three spaces in just one day.
Losing a child fills all of your brain space. I’m so thankful that I’m pulling through and I can get back to an organized decluttered home ❤

As a senior (73), I’ve had to identify my season of life and my temporary status on planet earth and current life. My key decluttering quest this year is “Would I move this?” And when the answer is “NO”or even “not likely”, then out it goes. I feel liberated from those “what ifs”.

[DianneHall]

I noticed the bins for the kid’s socks. I came up with a brilliant solution that changed my life 😉 I purchased mesh lingerie bags for each of my kids that I would hang on the closet door. When they had dirty socks, they placed them in their bag. On laundry day, I washed and dried the socks in those bags and it was their job to match them up and put them away. The bag was then placed back where the cycle would start all over again (as laundry does). No more sock issues! This worked for years! It worked so well that I even implemented this for my husband and I. Give it a try!

As someone who used to be a minimalist, who gradually got overcluttered, but then came to realize that I actually like to be surrounded by aesthetic things, I've realized something. If it gets in my way it's a problem, but if it doesn't, I can enjoy it! So what I've decided to do moving forward is to have maximalist walls, and minimalist almost everything else. It it can't go on a wall or a bookshelf up against a wall, it's in the way and I don't need it.

These videos are so good. I’m about ready to start decluttering. I lost my husband 8 months ago and our joke was always he was the hoarder and I the enabler. He always bought in bulk even though it was just the 2 of us. Our garage is full of boxes that were never opened during our 26 years of marriage (things he had in storage b4 we got married). It was too overwhelming for my husband and he didn’t want me throwing his stuff away. Being cluttered had become a lifestyle. Now all these boxes are mine and I’m just now at the point that I’m ready to take on the emotional journey of decluttering. I’m in a new season of life and my house needs to match it.

I've found over the years that i am not giving up all my hobbies. They bring me my joy. The best situation for me is a super organized storage space for hobby bins. Keep them out of my day to day spaces. Small bin for each hobby. Herb and tea drying, chocolate and candy making, sewing projects, candle making, humming birds, seed starting, canning, etc. Have what i need easily accessible but not is my kitchen cupboards!

[Hillside-Hive]

Dawn!!! You completely came through for those that cannot afford the Take Your House Back course!!! Talk about walking the walk- you're the real deal lady ❤️

I have to share that I have MAJOR clutter chaos in every area of my home. I've spent the last year working on my childhood traumas and limiting beliefs, but this was one hurdle I just could not crack. I knew I was going to take back my life and my home -- I was no longer the person who enjoyed all these things. I was determined to start with my kitchen on a Sunday. I spent the prior 3 days watching videos on the mindset and psychology behind clutter. I was determined to be successful in letting things go this time. Things I've been holding on to since 1998...gone! I was able to walk into my craft room, kitchen and closet and load several huge boxes up with things I could have never dreamed of letting go. My biggest hurdle was all the brand new items I had in packages. Thanks to this video, I was able to let it all go. I have a lot left to do, but the process is no longer painful or impossible. My hoarding mother is here on vacation and painfully watching me do all of this. I hope it inspires her too! Thank you so much for the effort you put into this video and all that you share!

[denisemcgill]

I have to say that this was so inspirational. I didn't get all the way through it before I paused and went down to the kitchen to declutter. My husband was so impressed that he sat at the table with me after dinner and just talked like we were at a restaurant. (Perhaps the clean decluttered table made the difference.) I can see this will take some time but I'm highly motivated now. Thanks again.

I love the “planting seeds” if I donate something expensive or super amazing to me I’m going to pray that it’s a seed of a blessing to someone else who needed one.

[dillin]

Omg!!! 1.5 hours listening to Dawn telling me how to make my house better 😭 I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! Thank you!! ❤

[justorganizemylife]

My son had a hard time parting with anything he created. His room was a mess. Finally, I suggested we take pictures of his artwork, and we gave him a digital camera. He went through his room and took pictures of everything before he tossed it, and kept the extra special art he created. From that point on, he learned the value of regaining the space in his room. I don't think he ever went back and looked at those photos, but he can if he wants to. 🙂

“Decluttering fatigue is a real thing because you have to make so many decisions over & over & over”. 🙏THANK YOU! I’ve been making great progress, then hit a wall. I felt like my brain was spaghetti. 🙏THANK YOU so much for helping me understand this is part of the process & I’m not completely crazy. Maybe just a little. 😂😁
The peace of mind with simplicity I’m experiencing is a beautiful reward for all those decisions being made. 💝😍

I had a really difficult experience which absolutely shifted my mindset around having ‘stuff’ - my mother was a ‘mend and make do’ kind of person, and would keep everything and anything ‘just in case’. She become incredibly unwell with a terminal illness, and the house became overwhelming, but she kept on holding on to things ‘just in case’. By the time she reached out for help, as we wanted her to get a cleaner and other sources of support to help her but was too embarrassed to allow other people into her house, it was too late. When she passed, I had to clear through the house, picking through years of objects stashed into every corner and space. I respected my mother’s independence to live her life as she wanted and having things helped her feel safe especially as her family were very poor when she was little and those behaviours were survival strategies. But, the volume of ‘stuff’ everywhere just become unmanageable and prevented us from being able to get her help to make her life easier sooner. My own home is significantly leaner and as soon as I start having more stuff, I have an absolute itch to purge and decant to a charity shop. And I realise that I rarely miss anything I donate - listening to you talk helps gives me a language to articulate my thoughts, especially the idea of what serves me in the season I am in now. And not holding on to things ‘just in case.’ It’s completely a mindset shift to challenge how we hold on to things we just don’t need. Thanks for your videos x

[kimcoffee-isaak]

Suggestion- use the bin you put your toaster in to hold your kpods. Open the box and dump them into the bin. It’s much easier to reach into an open bin and grab a kpod than to take out the box take out a pod and put the box away. And your toaster don’t need a bin, it will just make the bin crummy.

I have been struggling for years to declutter - I've watched and listened to various videos and podcasts, but none really motivated me. Last night I came across this video - I didn't expect to find an hour and a half long video on decluttering so rivetting!
I love the concept of my 'season' of life, your step by step approach makes sense, and actually seeing you tackling clutter and making choices showed me how to do it.
Half way through the video, at midnight, I cleaned out the top surface and half a drawer of the chest of drawers in my bedroom. Doesn't sound like much but, boy, so much went into trash (deodorants I'd tried but didn't like) or the donation box (smelly Xmas gifts I'm not going to use). Now I can _find_ the products I use, my electric shaver has a tray to live in, and, most importantly, my bedroom is just a little calmer and more restful.
Thank you.
