ABOUT A TO ZEN LIFE
Along my journey to let go of 30 years of clutter, I accidentally became a minimalist and it was life-changing.

Before, I was an emotional hoarder with nothing but the clutter from lost loved ones — and $25,000 of debt — to my name. Now I have a beautiful home in Europe, a happy family, live debt-free, and — best of all — wake up to a life that I’m EXCITED to live every day.

This is what I live by. I get so much done in just 5 minutes. Remember at the beginning of my decluttering journey. I would spend hours decluttering and wondered how people could get it done in just fifteen minutes or so. Here, I am years later, actually able to get stuff done in 5.

When dealing with worn-out clothes that are going to be tossed, I always check the label. If the item is 100% cotton, it becomes a cleaning rag.

For me, the real idea of “take it there now” to put things away where they go while decluttering is it encourages me to let it go to the trash can bc if I’d rather throw it away than put it where it goes, it didn’t deserve to be in my home any way lol I know that sounds wasteful and lazy but it’s my trick I use. I have really severe back pain, multiple bone spurs on my spine, so most days I’m more committed to having fewer things so I don’t have to clean as much in the long run.

The Power of 5 Minutes is severely underrated

The slightly used sunscreen would be a perfect thing to offer on Buy Nothing if you can’t use up multiple bottles before they expire. A lot of people in my local group struggle to afford good quality products like that, so it’s a win for everyone.

You can get a lot done in 5 minutes - great motivation :) I would return the realtor book to their office, if only to force them to take responsibility for the trashing of it. So wasteful! The binding and cover can’t even be recycled, possibly not the paper either if it’s coated. For people whose homes are chaotic the “take it there now” principle can be a game changer. You’ll definitely empty those baskets and put things away because your home in under control, but for people living in chaos they can easily become “doom boxes” that need to be resorted months later when people find them again.

I'm "decluttering" in the wake of my 5-year-old grandson, who slept over last night and is unearthing plenty of stuff!
He's certainly got more energy than me!

Finders keepers- for sure! Same rule with the laundry! 😊😂❤

[quoththeraven]

Thanks for the inspiration, I’m going to declutter a junk drawer as I watch. ❤

I've never been so eurly. I've been jumping from cleaning and declutering my room and my school work because that's what works for my brain. Thank you for the bonus motivation to fully deal with all my childhood cluter. I'm hoping to move out for cheap so that means less stuff.

[elizabethlangheim]

I’d let the house book go. You’ll never think about it again.

[claudiaw]

Great tips! Regarding the realtor's book, offer to return it to the realtor if the house hasn't sold yet so he can pass it along to another potential buyer 🙂

[mommybreakdown]

I smile whenever I come across a new upload. Thanks for hanging with me while I meal prep 🙂

[robynwells]

Thanks, small decluttering sessions are so much more efficient for me. The Marie Kondo method was too overwhelming.

[flohough]

Today I need to do a bit of paperwork decluttering, last week was a trainwreck and I didn't have the concentration skills/time to take care of it. I'll feel better once it's done for sure. The book from the house/realtor is a nice idea, but SOOOO wasteful! One of my favorite things to do is start a YouTube video, watch for so many minutes, then pause and see what I can get done in 5-10 minutes, then back to the video.

Please consider keeping all the cotton clothing as rags and cleaning cloths. It keeps it out of the landfill and reduces the need for paper towels.

I like this idea. My husband and I live in a tiny apartment and despite being minimalists clutter is a big challenge due to the small space. I also spy a Naruto figure.

[janetmcgee]

Under the bathroom sink is an area I dread going into also. For 5 minutes it is not so bad. There were two dead tiny insects in a plastic container under a pipe used to catch any potential leaking water. I was unaware we had any insects there. This is good to know. Thanks, Marissa. Five minutes works best in certain situations.

I’m finally learning that declutter means just that! Trying to declutter an area and organize has led to many failures 😮 I did huge declutter before I moved but sadly not enough. Been in my new place a year and still too much stuff. Wanted it organized as I put away but too much stuff 😵‍💫 lead to disappointment and I’ll do it later. Started doing these 1 cupboard or 5 min decluttering but not organizing and see so much more progress. Love your channel been long time follower don’t post much mostly watch! Thanks
