I’m 80 years old and have been giving bags and bags of clothing, household stuff to a Thrift store for months. I like having a say in where my stuff goes. I love the open spaces I have in my home. I’m not finished by any means but it makes me happy to purge.

I have only ever regretted decluttering one item...a classic, dressy coat that I was never able to replace. Years later I gained some weight and knew it would no longer have fit me, so I'm now down to zero regrets.

I've started a pick up/ put away 10 items each day challenge. Put away includes throwing away, putting where it belongs, or donate. It can be more than 10, but at least 10. It has helped get me "unstuck" while I'm overwhelmed.

"Just starting is the best way to begin, " is the most obvious advice that we hate to take.

[kentuckyroads]

The same could be said of weight loss ….consistency rather than perfection, and just to begin!

I like the idea of one set of sheets per bed. So much simpler because you don’t have to fold and put away; just wash, dry, and put back on bed. But I do like the idea of one extra set, unopened, for small kids or sickness emergencies.

[kelliwhittaker]

Great video!! I appreciate what you share about what you’ve learned ❤

[cindybutler]

I prefer 2 sets of sheets but I don't have laundry in house.

[bethmcgarvey]

I live in Ohio. Like one set "regular sheets" and one set fleece for winter

[grumbledjo]

Agreed - one set of sheets per bed! Tough decluttering area: letters from and items belonging to grandparents who have passed away.

In our family, three sets of cotton sheets for the master bedroom and guest room, and six fitted sheets for the kids’ rooms. Plus a bunch of white pillowcases. We have a very large extended family, and they come to stay with us sometimes, so we need the extra linens.

Boxes of paper that have piled up over the years that I put into boxes. When we use to have gatherings at our house I’d shove the mess of mail, kids work, receipts, etc into a box to work on later. That never happened 🤦🏻‍♀️ I also get caught up in donate vs sell. I’m currently working on an eBay selling office organization to get that under control. New subscriber here 😊

Figuring out a filing system for all my papers, and being afraid to let go of sentimental items

What makeup do you use to make your skin look airbrushed & flawless?

[NatickJill]

Couldn't live on one set of sheets per bed. I don't use my drier most of the time. Takes too long to dry a set of sheets on the line for one set to be washed and dried and returned to the bed!
Question: What do folks do when a sick person soils the sheets if there is no spare set to remake the bed with?

[plantsbythemoon]

2 sets of sheets - 1 summer weight, 1 winter weight, per bed (ours & guest bed) but it gets very cold here.
Great video!

[patriciasarkis]

Great video. Routines are importantly and consistent decluttering. Thx for the motivation

[danaplate]

After my babies grew out/away from crib sheets, I cut down to one set of sheets per bed and have never looked back
I do make sure that when I wash sheets - that day can handle the washing paired with the bed remaking
Keep it up! Always rooting for

[theresamoser]

I have 1 set of sheets on the bed and 1 set still in the package. Wash and put back on bed then if stain or rip I will open the new wash and buy a new set. Want the just in case but won’t use till need

[michellereader]

Definitely 5 minutes does make a difference!!! I declutter 5 items a day!! - great video - be consistent!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
