"We can use this for blindfolding" without any more context is hilarious! I never thought to make room in my closet for a blindfold! lol. Great declutter. An orderly linen closet is a joy. It's important to see you declutter things even if they are new. It's a great reminder that even if something is new, if it's not needed, it's clutter.
I love watching your videos!!! I did my linen closet just yesterday. I had two “extra” pillows did some pillow math and discovered that my husband and I in our 3 bedrooms we had 20 pillows!!! Get serious!!! I got rid of the “extra” 2!😂😂
Another great video! 👏🏼 That blue sweater really makes your eyes pop 😃! Just a suggestion on the pillows for flying - consider storing them with your luggage if they are only used for traveling. The hankies as blindfolds - could be used for games, so I would store them with my board games etc. We played Minute to Win It games for Christmas and used blindfolds! 😂 I feel your pain on angled shelves… very frustrating!
Ali what bugs you bugs me as well ... even though we're perfectionists, the satisfaction from getting it all "just so" is what keeps us motivated to keep it up! Love your videos so much. I pride myself on sheet folding (thanks mom!) but yours are pristine and I am having sheet folding envy 😂 Just in case you get a hankering to do a sheet-folding tutorial, Ali style ;). Thanks again from Texas ☺
I get stuck on the visual part too! Sometimes I can tweak it until I’m happy and sometimes I have to leave it for function. That closet turned out great and I’m sure you would have done it wayyy faster if you weren’t talking and recording for us but I do appreciate that part. My favorite thing about decluttering and organizing is the after effects. I can pick up a pile of stuff that’s been sitting on the counter or the table and walk around and put it all away in just a few minutes. When everything has a home, cleaning up is so much easier. I still have a few areas of my house that need help but the main living areas are fully organized and functional. It’s an amazing feeling.
Love your videos and merry Christmas! Ive been decluttering for six years and im grateful for the calming of my space! Im hoping to be done soon. Thank you for the encouragement! ❤
OMGOODNESS!!!! You are SOOOO much like me!!!! I would have to have the same in that closet. Same size, not hanging over, and blue thing tucked in!!! OCD people unite!! 😁
I have come to realize as well how important decluttering has become in our modern life. I declutter 2 ways. Either I declutter something that really is in need to be decluttered or I declutter following my plan. I divided our home in 10 areas and designated 1 area to a month, January to October. And I stick with it, concentrating on 1 specific area. I do have to force myself at times. This month I work on our study. I've been doing this for a few years now.❤
Been binge watching your videos. I was declutterring throughout , have to go back to like all of them. I was mainly listening and watching when I could. Then I thought she looks smaller. Thought it was just me. Then you said you had lost weight. Good for you. You looked great before as well. Really enjoying your videos. They are helping.
I would have put the extra blanket and pillow all the way on top, since they are not often used. I would have stacked the toilet paper rolls -a few rolls on each of other three shelves- next to the matching baskets. I bet they would stack into that awkward space nicely. Frequently used and off the floor you wanted empty. Great job making quick decisions.
Contractors & architects who think ‘angled closets’ are a good idea need to be run out of town on a rail! I have one in a bedroom and it’s practically useless for storage purposes. Like you, I have had to adapt it and the shelves to find some way to make it work. Interesting video!
Same! Procrastination and prevarication are my enemies. Also, getting the stuff to the donation station - I think it really helps to do it the same day so I don't start double-guessing myself.
I really wish I had someone like you that could help give me ideas on how to deal with my husband’s clutter. My family has tried to express to him how it makes us feel but he doesn’t seem to care about our metal health. It’s a never ending battle to keep the house clean and in order. I’ve started counseling for it, but so far it hasn’t helped at all.
Enjoy the videos. Suggestion: For the angled closet, I'd put in a clear/acrylic lazy susan in the angled corner on each shelf as they come in divided, non-divided in various wall heights/depths. For dried-out wipes, I repurpose Clorox wipe containers to place wipes in and add 70% isopropyl alcohol to make disinfectant wipes.
Seems like you’re like me. You’ll rather get it all done than just do what you can during 15 min. Usually I don’t use a timer but it helps when I don’t want to do it at all but need to. Simplifying has made it easier to be a perfectionist😄
You look great......any particular food program? I've lost 30 lbs on the intermittent....in a plateau now but will soon be out of this continuous winter cloudy day problem.....😊
I laughed at you saying you’re a perfectionist…..yet you leave the original labels on the containers. That drives me crazy. We all have our own special quirks. Lol
I'm sorry you feel that way! This is a second linen closet. I guess I forgot to mention that! I have another one that I just decluttered upstairs that holds medications too. But I don't keep a lot in my linen closet either. I don't have extra towels. We just have 1-2 per person hanging in the bathrooms.

Haha. I don't know why we would use a blindfold. 🤪 I could probably get rid of it, too!

🤣🤣🤣
I came here to say the same thing 😂 She said it so nonchalantly.
@@xraytilley Haha. I didn’t think anything of it! 🤣

If you have unused sanity products in the future, maybe you could leave them in a women’s bathroom for others, just an idea
Smart! Good idea!
What a great idea thank you!!!

Hi, amazing what you can achieve in 15 minutes. Every bit helps. Thank you for sharing and getting us decluttering 💕

I like how you make quick decisions on things. I need to learn to do that, too.
Thanks! It seems to have taken practice to make quicker decisions.

@@LazyDaisyDay88 I definitely struggle with getting stuff to the donation center!

Oh, I’m so sorry. That has to be so hard. I wish I could just wave a magic wand and your husband would understand. Hugs. ❤️
Thank you 💜👋🇨🇭

Haha. I love that. “Simplifying has made it easier to be a perfectionist.” 🤣
Yay! A new video❤❤❤❤
Aww, thanks!
Having decluttered my home, the biggest benefit for me has been less time cleaning & tidying, hands down.
Yes! Me too!
Love your 15 minute declutters
Thank you! ❤️
good job.
Thank you!
You look great......any particular food program? I've lost 30 lbs on the intermittent....in a plateau now but will soon be out of this continuous winter cloudy day problem.....😊
No, not a food program. I'm on Wegovy injections.
The more I work on decluttering, the easier I find it to get rid of things I might have kept even a month ago.
So true!
❤
Thanks!
Have you shared in a video how you lost weight? I would love to know. Thanks
Not really. I am on Wegovy injections if you know anything about that!
Any sheets, towels, blankets etc donate to animal shelters. ❤
I have considered that for sure. Thanks for the suggestion!
I laughed at you saying you’re a perfectionist…..yet you leave the original labels on the containers. That drives me crazy. We all have our own special quirks. Lol
I took them off! Just not on camera. Haha. I wanted to make sure I was going to keep them before I took off the labels. 😬
Put your toilet bowl cleaner in a bucket or container
Good idea!
Not realistic. We have a whole lot more items in our linen closets.
I'm sorry you feel that way! This is a second linen closet. I guess I forgot to mention that! I have another one that I just decluttered upstairs that holds medications too. But I don't keep a lot in my linen closet either. I don't have extra towels. We just have 1-2 per person hanging in the bathrooms.
Having an angled shelf is such a waste of space. Too bad since that's important real estate.
Right? It drives me crazy!
Hope to gain freedom from brain clutter and more space, less to keep up with
Yes! I’ve been getting to that point and it feels amazing.
