“Not everything will stay important forever”. Thank you for that thought!! I’ve got to use that for a mind shift. Too much of my “childhood stuff” is still here...and I’m over 70! Time to go through some boxes.

I try to eliminate one item from my house every day. It helps me keep from getting overwhelmed. Over time, it makes a big difference.

I have a frustratingly high tolerance for living in clutter beyond the point where I am comfy. It's exhausting and it never fails to surprise me that it's the room that I least want to spend time being in 😅

[DLM]

“If something is truly useful, you’d be using it” wow - I need to chant this as I’m decluttering.

[thatswhatisaid]

"Not everything will stay important forever! " Yes!" Absolutely true! And some of us take longer than others to see this. That's why it is ok to keep things for a while, and do several "rounds" of decluttering. Things that once were essential in our minds, sometimes become clutter when we prove to ourselves that we don't use them or need them, or even THINK about them, except when we are decluttering, and they pop up again.

OMG! The No. 2 "No harm" point! That is exactly my husband! "It's not doing any harm" he says and I countered it with "but what positive thing is it actually doing?". And it is doing harm; to my ability to relax, to my mind and why is it taking up space that something useful could occupy? 😠 You can tell it's a major bugbear for

My grandchild who is 16 was amused that I had their Dora The Explorer slippers from when they first started to walk. "I know you love me, Nana", said Clara, "You don't need to keep them!" .😍

I still am planning to get my garage to the point where I can get my car inside for the winter. I would really like that to happen this year.

The film labyrinth is the perfect metafore! I often feel like a junk lady from the film with all my clutter. It's a mental and physical burden. I love that film. ♥️

[eshurtz]

My favorite film and great video. My problem has been that I can’t afford to replace if I let it go. But your video helped me get past this. I have saved this video so I can replay and remind!! ❤❤

[chriswixtrom]

Love how while you're explaining things, we see the sorting process going on!

[anitaholmes]

Wow. Not even a minute into your video and I realized I've been keeping a BUNCH of stuff "in case I go back to work in a previous profession" again. It's got to go. I know what's going on my To Do list ❤.

[mercurialpierrot]

We are decluttering now in our house and I've been finding it hard to let things go. But one thing that keeps me at least chipping away at it is the realization that even when I get rid of bins of things...I will still have what is truly important to me and that we can then have more space for life to take place.

Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child you have stolen, for my will is as strong as yours and my kingdom as great. You have no power over me!

Oh my goodness! I feel like we should all recite this when we hit those items that we know we don't need and don't even like and it has some unexplainable hold on us!!!!

[goodenoughgirl]

Ha ha. I have a recent funny example. I think I had that cake frosting kit thing for over a decade. Never used it. Kept forgetting I had it until I was trying to do a project requiring a lot of wood filler. My big idea was to use the frosting thing for it. So I found it and then realized half the little bits didn’t even fit it. 😅😅 Later at the store they had one for $1.25. Of course I know I could also just use a baggie and cut a hole in it. Mind blowing how it just sat there and I never even tried to use it even once. So yah. Out it went. Lol. For the most part, I’m happy with how things are now going tho. I think I’m either at or near my “click point.” Lol.

Labyrinth and Never Ending Story 💜 and your garage floor is so shiny ✨

[katarzyna]

I'm soooo motivated now and starting declutter challenge🍁🍂Fall is here and ❄️ winter is behind the corner. Naturally we will be spending more time inside our homes and I don't want to be surrounded anymore but all that clutter. It's mentally exhausting 😳

[Sinbadizzy]

OMG, I had to rewind to listen to the Labyrinth vibes. LOVE LOVE LOVE. one of my favorite movies!!

[lowwastehighmelanin]

Wow youtube has been FAILING me this is the first of your videos it's notified me of in ages 😮

[edelinprogress]

Thank you for another great video. I had a strong urge to drive to Penney's this evening for late night shopping on Thursday. I've decided to watch TV and YouTube videos instead! Rest is much more beneficial to me at the moment than nighttime driving and "retail therapy". I've also been tempted to buy an expensive makeup palette (like 3 I already own) online and so far have resisted the urge. I try to remember all the things I decluttered and try not to reclutter my environment
