I love that you said "after 9 months...". Many people fail decluttering bc they don't allow themselves the time that it will take to do this. It took me 30 years to fill my house and it will take a year or so for me to finally get it where I want it to be. It's not an overnight process or a weekend job. My trunk is full again this morning of donations.

Minimalism doesn't mean having the least amount of items. It doesn't mean having only a bed in your bedroom. It doesn't mean compare your house to someone else. Minimalism is the same as essentialism. It means having the essentials and only having things which enrich your life and help life be easier.

I lost my adult son a few months ago and there is a tote box and duffle bag of his things in my garage. To help me manage my overwhelming grief, I decided to declutter my entire apartment this year. I think the reason that helps is so I am not looking at getting rid of his things as a single event, but rather a blending of donating his stuff along with mine. Also, it made sense because I no longer have a person to "keep things for". I write EVERYTHING down in a notebook so I can visualize my progress. ie: 5 shirts to thrift, 2 old shower heads to trash, 3 half used old make up- to trash, etc.
It is only March and I am up to over 200 "items". It feels good to accomplish this and is going to make my next apartment move so much easier some day.

I like when you said, "If nothing changes, then nothing changes. " Excellent point!

"Being very intentional about what you allow into your home, knowing everything in your home is SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO MANAGE".

Holy Moly, that sure hit me between the

This clutter and overbuying wasn’t a thing when I was a young mom. It was easy to maintain an uncluttered home because there was no Home Goods, no TJMaxx, not even big box stores like Lowe’s. I’ve always preferred less, anyway. Good for you; it simplifies your life so much.

[Thingybob]

Yes, you really nailed it. It is not minimalism. It is about having total control of your possessions. To have all you need and makes you happy, and nothing else. The amount and type of things are different for everybody. It is difficult to achieve... and it takes effort to keep, but it is so worth it!

[judymcfadden]

My bedroom was giving me major anxiety. Totes of paperwork to recycle. Huge desk that I didn't need. An out dated hutch on by bureau. Hair and makeup that I declutterd out of the bathroom. I got rid of most of this, and I'm starting to enjoy my bedroom again. My goal is to have a pretty, and organized bedroom to sleep in. I am really determined, as I have gotten rid of most of the all stuff. No more hiding stuff in the closet.

I was born in 1953. We had a small 1400 sq ft home 3 BR and 1 BA house for 4 people. Living in FL, the washer was just the right size to fit in the space on the back tiny porch. We didn’t have a ton of clothes and shoes or toys. We played outside and all the kids played outside and we all had to be creative. I know times are different now for children-so much can happen. But I see so many other you tube videos of tons of toys that the children could not possibly play with them all and enjoy them. All to say we could clean our house quickly, laundry done weekly. And we went boating, camping, etc. on weekends. Things own you and your time. I applaud you! I agree about too much decor as well. I used to have a lot of Home Interior products but sold it all. And my issue was the “free” stuff. We get things at work and now I just ask a coworker would they like it, especially water bottles and coffee cups. They can add up to major clutter in a hot minute. Free T-Shirts for events - I give them away. I don’t bring that stuff home anymore. Love your videos! Very informative and inspiring.❤

Hi, I toss at least 20 items each day. I fill a box for Goodwill every week. There's always more stuff. I do lots of crafts and use free or second-hand items.
My husband and adult daughter have lots of stuff, too. Three (3) of us live in a 2BR apartment. Tina, Al's wife

Minimalism can go too far and hurt your mental health just as much as having an overwhelming amount of things. I think you have it right.

[LiaBunny]

A fresh coat of paint and downsizing and better lighting makes a huge difference!

[sarahp]

I'm in! My spouse and I are ruthlessly decluttering our tiny apartment while we prepare for our baby girl coming this July. This is gonna be such a help to follow!

[maryd]

I lived in a 4500 square foot house and we moved to a 2225 square foot house— half the size. I really lucked out in that the old house took 8 months to close. That was very fortuitous for me as it took me that long to really pick through and decide what I really wanted/needed in the new house. I found out that I filled the rooms because I had the rooms….😳…..it’s been three years and I’m still getting rid of things that I don’t need…….

[janesimply]

A great place to donate is a non-profit thrift store. Animal shelter thrift stores, Catholic thrift stores (No, I’m not Catholic!) but I appreciate the ones in my area has they help people of ALL DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS. They don’t discriminate as many others have done unfortunately . They have food pantries they share with the community, not just their members.
I personally have a soft spot for animals and if they offer a thrift store to help support the critters, I’m in. ❤

[thegraemekell]

I just told hubby after watching this, that we need to do this for both of our mental health. He watched the video and has agreed with me. Our journey begins when he gets home. Yay and thank you.

[kc-traveler]

I'm in! I started decluttering 5 years ago and then got derailed by the pandemic, kids being home all the time. Now, my kids are older and I'm ready to go at it again! Even in the first few weeks, I've noticed myself being more present with my kids and being more patient with them.

[andreasattic_]

I can relate to this so much. My house has become more cluttered and my mood is different. I'm convinced it's down to the chaos. I have so much to declutter, but it's my goal for 2024 in general ❤
