I just watched your declutter YouTube. I think I might start this January 2nd. We have been in our home for 33 years and raised four children who are now adults and raising their children. It just amazes me how much of their belongings are still here. I think I am going to do your 30-day declutter in each room to include the garage in the basement. It is very frustrating to look at a space and not know where to begin. Thank you for your YouTube video and seemingly less frustrating way to declutter. Many thanks.

Loved the video, Kristin! I agree with everything you said! It just feels so good to declutter and help someone else in the process! Great job completing the challenge!

Thank You Kristin😊 I'm starting today because it's time to start decluttering. It's some many things we collect and we can live without. I declutter all the time but this 30days will be even more. Thanks for sharing this challenge!

My house has been completely decluttered, but once a week I go through my house and its amazing the stuff Im still able to toss. Things lose their importance after a while.
I put large items on the sidewalk and within an hour its gone. It feels good that someone may find it useful. I love my half empty drawers and closets, my home is a serene place.

I so need to do this! Maybe while I am decluttering, I will be less likely to buy more things to drag in and curb my spending?! Good plan!

Having growing children at home you will see a continuing need to have things come into your home (clothes, crafts, supplies, sporting goods, etc.) so cut yourself some slack as you will be doing your game for quite awhile! Good on you getting family onboard as that will help keep the ball rolling. Have you tried installing a "declutter" bin so things will just automatically have a temporary home while waiting to go out the door to the thrift store or wherever you donate your reusables?

One other idea, you mention needing to build a shed. If you declutter the garage then reorganize what's left, can you fit all those things in there? I'm thinking hooks to hang bicycles from rafters and having a dedicated shelving/hook system for your vital yard tools... You may have room to store those things if you reexamine that space. Then take the money you would have needed to spend on that shed and use it for a family trip or someone's college tuition!

This is such a great idea. Right now we are getting to move in the next couple of months so I am purging 30-40 items daily but I want to remember to do this when I think I am done with that.

[Sarah-gstw]

Thanks for the video. I should do this, starting today.

I agree, decluttering make me feel relieved. I am doing Cass's 30 Day Decluttering Challenge this month. It is addicting, once you get started you can't stop. I found stuff to to get rid even though I have been decluttering since the beginning of the year. That is awesome story about your daughter wanting to declutter.

[AllThingsKimberlyWV]

I started today. Thanks for the motivation. I even started a group chat about it and challenged my best friends so we can post pics to each other about what we have de-cluttered.

Kristin, thanks for making this video. It has reminded me to sell or to donate my items I no longer need.

[loueriv]

Great video and illustrations. How did you sell the items you sold?

[mimibatman]

thanks for the inspiration! I'm going to do this challenge again. :-)

[PinkSallyProductions]

Thank you for this! I have been listening to The Minimalists podcasts for a while & have decluttered with KonMari method but not yet tried the 30day Minimalism Game. After your inspiration I can't wait to use pictures to actually document my progress, makes it tangible! thanks for the inspiration 🌹

[vickip]

I'm inspired and up for the challenge. Thanks.

[gemminy]

Wow, super impressed with this. I also need to do something like this. I have done the KonMari method on my closet. But I feel like that method doesn't work on other parts of my house. So maybe I will try something like this :)

[Miss_Red-wdtr]

I made a horrible mistake... I started decluttering, and than stopped. than I JUST moved and decided to get back on decluttering everything. I moved so much stuff when I really didn't need to :'( lol

[babygurl]

Instead of doing 31 and more you could always restart at the beginning of the next month. Might be less stressful of trying to find 31 and more items. Just an idea:)

[BayouPlanner]

OH my! I so need to do this starting now! Even tho it's already the 3rd, I can round up 6 things for sure :) What did you do with your items each day?

[magiccarpetstudio]

I love your southern accent :) I could listen to you all day!
