Do you or your kids not do different shoes/hats with different outfits? I’m all about decluttering but even I change my shoes and hats to my outfits. The different color and fit really does something to the mood when you change it up.
ОтветитьMay I ask...how does your family feel when you make them get rid of things ? What if they don't want too?
ОтветитьLegit question do you ever sell perfectly good things? Like the box that came with the trampoline. You are disciplined enough to not keep it even knowing what’s there but someone on a local buy sell page could be looking for something you have plus you get some extra cash!
Another video one of your girls got a new bag from Diana you could sell that!!! Just like having a donation box you could have a sell box. You only can sell what can fit in that box everything else can go out do the house however you prefer.
Why are you buying new things when the old ones are not broken or worn out? I would think that the first rule of minimalism is don't buy another if you have one that works.
ОтветитьI have been decluttering for a while, but this episode helps me face up to the things I still hold on to. Thank you.
ОтветитьWhy do I have to pay to watch you?
ОтветитьI throw all my hotel soaps in a "net soap holder," available on Amazon, and then use it like a regular bar. I also use these for regular soap.
ОтветитьTotally too much commercial.
You let the matress company steal your channel.
What would you do if somebody wanted to buy your trampoline? Because you had it for sale but then they wanted the accessories. Oh sorry I threw them out I didn't need them
ОтветитьThat box of accessories might contain extra springs in case one breaks, as well as extra bolts and washers in case one falls out.
ОтветитьFYI those hotel samples are great for my shower kit at the gym. Also, the Smartwool company will take old socks for recycling. Any kind. They send a bag and you fill it up. I do try to mend small holes, but when they are past repair, they can do for recycling. For vases, there is a lady who sells home made bouquets locally, and she accepts extra vases for her business. So I bring all extras to her.
ОтветитьI use the old towels for when I have a large spill in the kitchen because I don’t mind throwing those on the floor 😊
ОтветитьThis video was SO helpful to me! But I have a question: Can you address how to deal with saboteurs to your decluttering efforts? I'm a 72 year old retired woman who loves to organize. I want my home to be clean and tidy, and for the most part manage to keep what shows that way. However, I have a problem I've never seen addressed by any decluttering video. My husband of 51 years has a strange, emotional attachment to things he hasn't looked at in decades, and if he even suspects that I might get rid of anything he considers "his", he has an anxiety attack and/or will give me the silent treatment (sometimes for days). Clearly, there is a deep seated issue, but at this late date in our marriage I am not going to stir up trouble by encouraging him to see a therapist (which he would never do anyway). I have tried dozens of times to reason with him but to no avail. So I do my best to organize "around him". Example: We live in a condo and have a storage closet on our deck. In it he has a 5 drawer filing cabinet, plus 2 extra long bankers boxes filled with papers from jobs he had in the 80s and 90s. Whenever I mention the possibility of him offloading the papers and using the cabinet for other things we actually use, he goes nuts. So I managed to move the cabinet in a way that allows some space for other storage, got four 4-drawer plastic storage bins, which I CAN decide to organize and/or purge at will with things he doesn't care about: holiday decor, vases, gardening tools, etc. When I say I'm going to organize something, he seems to hear it as "I'm going to get rid of all your stuff." I have to reassure him over and over that I won't!
ОтветитьI might ask ..why did you buy the new curling iron when you had a perfectly good one that looks almost exactly the same besides the color?
ОтветитьIf you buy shoes but wear them save them you spent money for new ones you will use in the future
ОтветитьI love your videos. I have downsides my mom 3 times. She wants me to store and keep everything. Old cookbooks. Everything. But I have had 3 years of health issues. Hospice in my home for multiple times, different family members, and then my own health. One day I will be able to make better moves. Right now, I'm struggling with day to day. Until then, I am learning. Until then I try to make one or two steps here or there.
ОтветитьI have an entire closet of photos before digital. I cannot part with them...but my craft supplies...whoooo boy. I need to purge. Thank you for this!
ОтветитьThis is dope.
ОтветитьThis was one of the most helpful videos! I saw my stuff in a new light. Thanks for hanging out with me this week! 😂💙
ОтветитьWhy are you replacing so many good things with almost the exakt things just perhaps neuer?
ОтветитьYour sound is off-balance on this one. The sound is quiet on the left, and loud on the right. Jsyk to adjust your settings
Ответитьa lot of this stuff could’ve just been donated 😢
ОтветитьI use the stuff from the dentist for travel packs.
ОтветитьOld cotton towels will stay absorbent if you don't use fabric softener.
ОтветитьLabel the trampoline accessories box and donate them.
Ответить2023 was my year to declutter my body. Down 77 pounds. 20 more to go, but I’m on a roll. So it will be a success. 2024 will be my year to declutter my home. I’ve already started. With my closet. So many clothes and shoes that no longer fit! These type of videos are so great to listen to while decluttering. Thank you for your content.
ОтветитьI always enjoy your shows. I am currently on a (end of life, downsizing, Swedish death cleaning) decluttering mission because at age 70 I know that my younger relatives don’t want a lot of my treasures! They have their own tastes for their own homes. I have decided to get info about auctions/buyers and start clearing out the rest for donations or dump.
Just a note: middle and elementary school art programs want your old magazines and newspapers. Animal shelters will take used sheets and towels. And luckily my community has a shelter for homeless women and children and they gladly accept gently worn clothes and shoes, etc, for their resale shop and also for residents to get choose interview/work clothes.
Thanks for continuing to amuse and inspire me.
❤👍👩🏻🎨
You are clear and informative but I am SO put off by your use of trash. Everyone has access to thrift / charity stores. As others mentioned; womens shelters, goodwill, animal rescue (for towels sheets etc).
ОтветитьI use old socks for cleaning rags. I put my hand inside and spray the sock. Black for a black surface so I don't get white lint on the black surface. And white for light surfaces. And if something is really yucky, you can just toss it then. However, since i hadn't yet learned the container concept, i now have a huge rag container. So using up and tossing some is beneficial. And the good ones i keep and reuse and store neatly.
ОтветитьI just started to watch your channel and have decided to start decluttering my home. I will definitely keep watching your videos for Help! Thank you!
ОтветитьI like to take travel size toiletries because there is a place in my town where you can donate them for foster kids who are moving from one place to another, so check that out!
ОтветитьIf she says uh-sess-uh-Rees anymore, it’s not pronounced that way. I do love the idea of getting rid of things, but I wonder if her kids get annoyed by her saying all the time, you’ve got two hats, whoa get rid of one lol
ОтветитьBut why do you get identical items? For eg your curling irons both look the same, if the old one was working why did you buy a new identical one? I am baffled. It's not like buying another spatula because your other one may be dirty and you real quick need another out of the drawer!
ОтветитьNew sub. This video really resonated with me. Thanks so much.
ОтветитьI would keep extra sunglasses in the car in case you forget the other pair. Should at least look in box, kind of stupid not to look. Spare parts should be kept.
ОтветитьHow can people sleep under such a low sloping ceiling?
ОтветитьAlways replace toothbrushes with new ones after your appointment, throw out the old ones same day….
ОтветитьNew to your channel. Love it! Just wondering...how do I get my family (two sons & hubby) to go along with my minimalism projects? The clutter seems to not bother them. AND they don't want me decluttering for them. HELP! Thanks.
ОтветитьWhy do you keep throwing stuffs? Even a good one. You are not a minimalist. You are throwist. Its been 7 or 8 years, dont you do what u preach?
ОтветитьHow do you make those beds?! Just a squirrel that I struggle to not chase. 😂
ОтветитьYou are great at what you’re doing. I am not too sentimental so I like that you tell people it’s ok to get rid of things that belonged to people you love. If it’s not memorable, toss it. I love that!!
ОтветитьDefinitely you did not live through depression time, when people even had money, they could not but needed things because there were shortages
ОтветитьOne question: if something is not broken and still working, why buy a new one? Doesn't sound frugal.
ОтветитьI am not underestimating the importance or effect of decluttering but I can't figure out why this so much focus on getting rid of what you have ( and you might wanna buy again in the future) versus too little talk about shopping wisely and buying less in the first place , which absolutely is the short cut to a declutter free life , let alone other financial gains !
ОтветитьMy house is a memory box, LOL!
Ответитьso,,,, Where are you getting rid of these things? Trash? Recycle? Donate to where?
ОтветитьJave to say I am too busy to audit kids toys lol
ОтветитьDo you have a link to the memory boxes you bought? Or something that would be close or what size did you use?
ОтветитьWhy buying new gardening shoes in the first place? The old ones looked perfectly fine.
