You’re awesome! I’ve been following 3 other YouTubers, with a similar subject: declutter/minimize. They’re great, but you are now the ONLY one I watch. So thoughtful in your ideas, and well researched. So much appreciate it, thank you.

In Germany we can recycle small electronic devices at the grocery store! That's pretty convenient: I always have a small bag with empty batteries & broken cords and can toss them at the store before heading in for grocery shopping!

For me the most effektive way is still how my grandmother already did: check every shelf, every closet twice a year (spring and autumn).

What I do is take a garbage bag with me for the stuff that can be thrown away and I also have a shoppingbag on wheels for the things that can be donated. I don’t have a car so bringing things to a donationcenter is difficult for me, but I do live in a big appartment building and as soon as the shoppingbag is full I will take it downstairs and put all the things on a bench that is in the hallway. So everyone can take whatever they want. If things are left after a day or two I will throw them in the garbagecontainer.

I literally did the “don’t put away the laundry” declutter right before watching this! I had a bunch of things that I just don’t like anymore but I kept wearing because I kept running out of clean clothes. Getting rid of them means I don’t have to iron them :). It also means laundry should be easier with fewer clothes! I boxed up about 30 pieces of clothes in about 3 minutes. Then came to YouTube to take a quick break and boom, you validate my efforts!

Thank you Mia this video was Very helpful. I am in the process of trying to move house - in two stages - I need to vacate my current home in September But don't have a new home to go to yet, so I am staying with a friend and needing to put my home into storage on a temporary basis. So these ideas and suggestions will help me when I am sorting everything and packing for storage and for my temporary home. Thank you.

I put items by the curb with a sign that says FREE. It's usually gone within the hour.

Wondering if you have any insight about the psychology/ways to overcome this barrier: I usually am fine with posting things for free as it is truly much faster than trying to sell in most cases, but I recently posted something for a much lower dollar amount as an alternative, since I really did want the cash. Then the next day, the buyer had posted and sold the item for a much larger amount. I was so angry and felt robbed and cheated and spent so much energy trying to figure out the ethics behind this and the policies about such things. In the end I was confused why I was making such a big deal out of it, since I had gotten what I set out for, which was to declutter the item quickly and get a little cash. But it has made me cynical about giving things away.

I think the word you are looking for is a quarantine box. It allows you to declutter but not get rid of something until you are 💯 sure you don’t need or want anymore.

Where do you post for items to be picked up for free?
