    tnx for this useful video, I try to be a tidy person and I always try to put everything back to its first place, for example, if I take a book from a library I'll bring it back there again. I tidy up my room by myself and by watching this video I'm going to declutter my room to have more space.

    Decluttering and Minimalism are sheer liberty; they give you the opportunity to enjoy your life, buy what you really love and need, get rid of the tinnitus of consumerism, and above all, they nurture your financial health.

    Clutter-to mess up, to make dirty
    or untidy.

    items from an untidy or
    overcroweded place.

    Hello.. Please.. I did not understand the question "what does she put our need for decluttering down to?" I am not sure if you use "Put (something/somebody) down" as a phrasal verb. I undestand the context of the question, but I am not sure about the structure... Thanks...

    Hi, I think that you mean that the manual vacuum cleaner was invented in 1860s, but not the electric one, because at that time the electricity wasn't created yet.
    We know that Thomas Edison invented the light in 1879 and that was the first invention of the electricity.
    You said " at" 1860s
    What I learnt is that we use the preposition " in" with years.
    Can we use both " in and at"?
    By the way I not only have a chairobe but also a bedrobe, ahockrobe, and an everyplacerobe.
    Guys I'm living in a huge mess.

    1. Stop buying
    2. Make stuff you've outgrown disappear as you go about your day
    3. Lay there in a cleaner house
    4. Repeat 2-3.
