After almost 4 months away, I hope you all enjoy a whole house declutter! <3

Another way to think about it is: (your country) moving cleaning. As in, the next time you move, is this item worth the effort of packing it up, moving it or paying someone to move it, unpacking it and maybe having to rent/buy a larger space to accommodate it? Clarifies a lot for me.

I think step one of decluttering is having te self control and awareness to not buy stuff you don't need.

I love videos like these. I've been decluttering for 2 years and got to a level where I have no 'excess' stuff, so I can't actually declutter anymore I kind of miss it 😂

I like your quiet voice and how you don't rush talking it makes watching long video much more enjoyable

Not knocking you, you seem lovely but for such a young person you sure have a lot of stuff. One thing I do is immediately cut down delivery boxes and take them to the trash. At night before bedtime everything goes back to it’s designated place. I love the idea of bed linens but I don’t store any. I have one really good quality sheet set so I remove it, wash it and it goes back on the bed.

Hi. I also consider myself a minimalist and heard of Swedish death cleaning a while back. My take on it was that you sort through your belongings so that when you die, your family and loved ones aren’t left with all of your hoard of belongings to sort through which makes the grieving process etc easier on them. I hadn’t heard your take on it before that you keep things other people would want when you die. Wondering if someone who knows more about the concept can shed light on this? Thanks and great work 😊

I found your idea to only keep things your descendants/spouse/fam might want very interesting. My idea of the Swedish death cleaning is the opposite 😂😂 Like, don't save anything because someone might want it if you don't want it, because most of the time ppl don't want your old stuff and are burdened by it. So I would only keep what I personally like and not save things I don't like in case someone else wants it. I feel like this is a big cultural issue sometimes (Im German) as grandparents save up their never used china or even build a whole house for children who live somewhere else and don't want old plates 😅

My favorite part of decluttering is getting the stuff out of the house.

[rebeccabaron]

This is a really good state of mind at your young age to be in. Keep it up. That way when you get to be my age (59) you won’t want to sit in the middle of your house/apartment and cry because you are so overwhelmed. ❤❤

Omg you are so much fun, i turned 60 recently, started my decluttering yourney, have been kind of collector of cute items and such, i donated sooo much items the past months, and still going strong! These videos inspire me 😊

18:50 Final words: "I left this world in a tidy way" 😄

[irmabronder]

I always put a booking for collection of my declutter and how many bags and start declutter and it will be collected. Works great. I don't own a car, so this is a perfect way of actually getting it out of the house.❤

I’m in the process of becoming a minimalist and your videos have given me so much inspiration and hope for myself in my journey. Thank you so much for documenting your experiences, for showing the ups and downs, the failures and successes throughout. I look forward to more videos as time goes on.

I too did Swedish Death cleaning with my stuff!! It took me two years and 3 1/2 days. I'm not old, I did a Swedish Death cleaning to make room for my husband's hoard!! He doesn't want to get rid of anything!! And we were running out of space literally.

I don't regret doing a Swedish Death cleaning because I now officially have less stuff and I am feeling like a minimalist! 😊

[elstal]

I’m 58 and doing a major Swedish death cleaning. I’m finding that dragging a category, like papers, out to my carport and being that much closer to he recycling bin, garbage can, or my car, makes it easier to let things go.

[neneirene]

Yes to the digital minimalism video!🙋🏻‍♀️ Loving your videos btw

[rebeccacartier]

Idk about where you live, but in my city we have a ton of little free libraries, where I drop books, magazines and old media.. or even our local libraries take dvds or cds. Just an alternative to the charity shops or bins

[duffyjones]

My final words …. Being with you made my life wonderful x

[carolinegathercole]

Thing is, stuff doesn’t just appear overnight! It accumulates over a long time, so it obviously takes an equal amount of time to get rid of it.
