this is my secret to getting my mom to declutter

I had to pick up our guest room yesterday - it is our clutter catch. I started to just walk away and shut the door and then I remembered your speed clean method. So I set my timer for 8 minutes and told myself to just start. In just 8 minutes it looked so much better!

I used this method on my husband last January. I took all of his clothes out of the closet. He has a laundry service at work but for some reason needed 45 crap T-shirts for doing chores around the house 🤷. I put them all in a pile and said I'm holding up a shirt you have 5 seconds to say keep or toss or I'm tossing it. He narrowed it down to 20. I said not good enough. We're doing it again. We got it down to 10. I said you can keep 5. He looked at me like I grew a second head lol. But he did it! I gave him a 5 item limit in each category. Like jeans, hoodies and such. He started out with using almost the whole closet. Forcing me to keep my clothes in the dresser. Now I can hang up my puny amount of clothes and we still have extra space in the closet and in the dresser. I keep him on a 5 limit diet. For every item that comes in one has to leave. Even socks and underwear. It has cut laundry down from 6 loads a week to 3 and it's just the 2 of us! He tried pulling it with me and I'm like show me more than 5 pairs of jeans. He found 2. I have a good pair for every day and a crap pair for chores. Then I went through every category. He's like you seriously have nothing except gym clothes. He left that conversation quickly lol. Hope this helps to encourage others 💚

My mother always told me to just put ten things away. Once I get to that point, I'm on a roll and I usually just keep going. But saying "ten things" doesn't sound intimidating, so I can always do it!

This gives me anxiety. If it works for others, though, that's great!

LMAO. It will take me that long to move. Not in great shape. 😂 More time please. Hugs

I got rid of 2 pairs of old crusty shoes and unpacked a new pair and put them in my closet.

[debleeann]

my problem is i put them in car to get rid of and decide to keep them

[famlbk]

No rushing for me, I make wrong decisions doing that. I take my time and go t my pace. Slow and steady wins the race. ❤

[Trishane_Gardens]

I could do it in 15 seconds. Keep, keep, and keep. Lol
