If I spent as much time decluttering as I do watching YouTube videos about decluttering, I’d probably already be done.

What has helped me at times to further declutter is remembering all the stuff I've gotten rid of over time and not missing any of it. In fact, I have to think pretty hard to remember specific items. No regrets.

[jelgel]

I enjoy using a dice 🎲 throw it and find that number of items to get rid of. Then if I've got time repeat.

[themoonchariot]

Intention isn’t action! I needed this reminder 🙏🏼

Selling items costs you....what I mean is a yard sale takes SO MUCH WORK. Just donate the items or give away. Bless someone else, and you will be blessed!💕

[vozeviolaogiulia]

I loved the donation tip! I was getting so stressed out until watching this video right now, because I could not sold everything I tried to sell... Thank you very much for this tip, I'll be looking for a charity.

[karlashmeedavlasta]

I am still clutterd...but I found out, that If I can THINK of something that can go, its much easier than putting the Item in my hand and make the desicion.
But when I made it up in my head before, its much, much easier.

I came home tonight determined to tackle decluttering before I got too tired. I listened once and will repeat a few times. Great motivation and much needed. Thanks for this one today especially!

My dad had 3 garages of stuff plus his household. He was living with us so we could take care of him. My daughter and I attempted to start going through stuff but were overwhelmed. With dad's permission, we hired an auctioneer to go through everything, auction off what was valuable, and get rid of the rest. My husband took out what tools he wanted first (at dad's request) and then let the auctioneer do the rest. Dad ended up with $600 for his whole household but it was such a relief to have it gone.

Love your videos and advice!! They don’t belittle for struggling to let go or “level” off some items. It’s hard to make decisions and live with them. Thank you 😊 please keep making videos like these. Simple but so helpful to remember it’s a journey not a one-size-fits-all.

[CaseyBurnsInvesting]

I loved your Power of one video. Reduced my possessions by capping my articles of clothing. Donated most of my clothes. Garage clutter is next.

Edit: Love the leveling tip. I’ll have to use that.

[Glorydancer]

Thank you so much Joshua for your wonderful guidance and encouragement. I have felt almost hopeless after years of accumulating things, and a long season of illness. But you have made me feel I can do it...one step at a time.

[MsSabreena]

The tips mentioned are not new however your delivery (short and crisp) is amazing! 👍

[piercrab]

Love short videos, message precise and easy to understand. Keep my motivation going....

[snowonder]

working on things I have kept for many years, thanks for your good advice - wish I had got rid of things gradually through the years.... but I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel

[tulsisevadasi]

I put loads of stuff into boxes in the attic. When I looked at it after 3 months it was like going shopping but with no spending. So glad to see the stuff again!!! Intention is not action. true. I have actually started de cluttering and it is slow but it is happening.

[juliebridge]

This couldn't come at a better time! I'm in the uncluttered course and have been doing really well, but thinking of some areas to tackle has me overwhelmed! I need all the help I can get right now!! Thank you!

[clubcorifeo]

I'm in the (hard) process of decluttering and listening to you is really inspiring and stimulating. Thank you so much!

[monikavarro]

I did some decluttering today! I can't believe I have so much crap! 😃

[ltyrell]

Small areas can be good to start with, like what's on the bath ledge or bathroom surfaces - often half a dozen almost empty shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and other bottles, some just not liked and others forgottten. I rinse them out and put the bottles in recycling and just removing 5 or 6 things it's surprising how much emptier the surfaces look.
