- The New Year is here and our theme is “Clutter Free in 2023!” We’re doing our first DeClutter in the basement so we can start off January right!!! Lol This year, this is the year we FINALLY get this basement cleared out!! I’m looking so forward to doing this with all of you!! Get ready to Tossy Tossy 💗💗
#home #declutter #cleaning
You were busy volunteering, working and being a parent definitely be nice to yourself. The holidays are a lot for everyone. Taking the time now to tidy up and remove recycling is what everybody is doing. Well done.
Wow, how many of you are as excited as I am about this year being 2023 the year of being clutter free?! Thank you Ms Heart and sweet Ms Pepper for your help and encouragement. Your a wonderful blessing 👍🌹
You need a big trashcan downstairs so tossy tossy can't ever be forgotten downstairs when you get busy. Maybe even a big recycling trashcan.
Your local food bank or charity thift store often need bags. Re ADHD, as a neurotypical I think it is important to remember that everyone forgets to complete tasks (stuff comes up). I watch Aspergers from the Inside and often in the comments people seem to think that certain social difficulties are particular to being on the autism spectrum and I want to express that some difficulties are things that everyone has in some degree or other. But knowing where one is likely to lose track of things can help in planning to circle back to finish things.
Since you have extra totes, how about starting a tote for Christmas crafts, Halloween crafts, etc. That way you can pull out the tote a month or two ahead of the holiday to work on.
Great idea ..I have that so I can find things
My granddaughters came to clean and organize my closet. Sorted through all my clothes and had a big bag for Goodwill. My secret - put it in the car and donate it RIGHT AWAY. No chance to change my mind about anything!!! Still have too much stuff!!! Maybe next time.
Getting it in the car is a difficult step for me. Getting rid of stuff is hard.
Every little bit helps!
I do that also
@@cat3crazy me too - it might haunt me if I just got rid of something without time to mull it over. Even Marie Kondo says be sure you want to give something up you don't want regrets later.
I started doing even just five minutes and the difference it has made is massive. Always felt like I had to do it all at once and then here you came with constantly reminding us that baby steps are better than none and to give ourselves grace when we need it.
aww will you let me do it all for you baby? xo
If the family member ends up *not* taking the decorations....straight off to Goodwill with them! It's too easy letting stuff pile up again!
I have been decluttering like crazy! I began with "23 items OUT for 2023!" and I've just kept going! I'm amazed at how much stuff sneaks into the house and accumulates! I was also able to let go of a bridal shower gift that I received in 1981! Yuppers! I've held on to it all this time! It's a cute platter with cats and mice on it. I've used it a handful of times throughout the last 42 years (GULP!) But I haven't pulled it out of my hutch in the last 5 years? 10 years? I honestly can't remember! So...out it went!
Hey! At least I'm not decluttering my husband lol!
Oh I love the “clutter free in 2023”. I have decided I’m going to start in a different area, our bedroom. I will also take your advice in baby steps and even if it’s only 10 minutes a day or a week it will be a start. Thanks for all the encouragement and motivation. Miss Pepper is loving all the new spaces too. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🥳🙇♀️👏💪👍🙏🤞💐🐈🦄
I love your attitude and your approach of being kind to yourself. It certainly helps my motivation to just get on with finishing old tasks rather than berate myself for not doing it "right" in the past. Congratulations on a great start for 2023!
I SO look forward to your basement declutter videos!
Fantastic video! What I really needed to hear is that tough love does not work in these circumstances. Support and love do, as I believe your husband has done. I am so proud of you, and I am always inspired by you. Thank you for finding the strength to start your journey and for inspiring so many of us to start ours 🥰🤩😍❤️
Ms Heart I totally agree that your idea of giving yourself grace is a great way to ensure you continue to make progress with your projects and tasks. I just want to say well done for getting back into the basement right at the start of January after all your hard work and volunteering in December. I would also like to suggest that as well as being Clutter Free in 2023, you could also try to focus on finishing decluttering tasks. So, just like last year when you had the motto “Don’t put it down - put it away”, this year your motto could be something like “Don’t let trash pile - recycle with style”. This may help you avoid your ADHD mind wandering a little at the end of each declutter session.
Great begining of this year decluttering Mrs. Heart:) A big hug to you and to the lovely decluttering manager, Miss Pepper 😺 💕
I was proud to not buy any wrap etc either this year! I fought the urge to stockpile. I think I still have enough for next year and I’m debating using the random fabrics I have to make reusable bags. I’ve done this before for a huge birthday party and actually years later received a bag I had made back so it had circulated for more than 5 years!
Heading back to my basement today to go through Xmas clothes and decide what can go plus drop off the bag of donations I gathered right before the holidays.
Pepper is so unbelievably sweet and cute. She's a little angel, love seeing her almost as much as I love seeing your progress!! 💌💌
You have done so much good work and you can give yourself grace because the previous declutters have created places where things can go. Nothing has to be left in one spot indefinitely any more--there are now areas to redirect items to, when you are ready to do so.
Love the motivation.
Nice work! I worked on paper clutter from when my girls were really little. Still have 3 gallon ziplock bags left out of the big bin of art papers and school memories. It’s been a rough day. And it turns out I now own 25 empty white binders which I am telling myself I can let go and not worry about maybe needing one. 😅
I would love to see a comparison of the different year’s clothes decluttering
Yay basement declutter...❤️❤️❤️ These are my favorite videos ... Great Job Miss Heart...
a few years ago you werent able to say its trash without going through everything again, now you see it and just know "oh i know that, i declutterd it, it is trash" thats fantastic!
Your channel gives me motivation to keep going and get rid of things. I buy less and declutter more because of your inspirational channel. Thank you💕
Miss Pepper is the most wonderful cat!
Thanks for your declutter of basement video Clutter Free 2023. I love your idea of a Regift container. I was thinking of a Regift container for several subjects of weddings, birthdays, Valentine's Day, Easter, graduations, etc. Pepper is a good inspector of the open created space. I try to take my decluttering slowly as to not create anxiety.
You're doing great! I would recommend putting those candy cane wreath forms with your other craft things instead, though- that way they don't get forgotten until it's time to get out Christmas decorations again. (^.^) keep up your great work, girl! You're an inspiration! Something you said made me think of a line from B.J. Fogg's book "Tiny Habits": "I change best by feeling good, not feeling bad."
It’s 2023 and you are off to a great start! I have also been recently decluttering areas of my home. Thank you for the continued motivation!😊
Keep it up, Melanie! You are amazing and inspiring!
I take a little box after the other from the basement upstairs and sort thru it on a separate table. This way I get rid of many things without overwhelm.
I hope to soon have wiggle room in the basement to start organizing.
Baby step after baby step.
Thank you so much for everything! You continue to make tremendous progress, keep ongoing! This video was helpful!
If I were you, I'd put the candy cane frames in your fall boxes. That way when you put out your fall stuff, you can make the candy canes. Then you will have them finished when its time to put out Christmas stuff.
Nice job ! January is a nice time to decutter I think 🤔
So thrilled to see your progress.
I love hearing you explain how you decide to let things go. I feel like I have such a similar dialogue. I’m currently working through my basement and I’m having such a hard time letting go of childhood things. I wanted my kids to be able to play with my old toys, but found out most of the Little People contain lead. They need to be garbage, but it’s so hard 😢
Great start to clutter free in 2023. Congratulations on your journey and achievements to date, you are an inspiration to many.
Your honesty is super refreshing. Thank you!
After watching this video, I got into my closest and threw out all the shipping boxes, packing paper, etc from Christmas! 😀
Nice one! Maybe you could include the boys fixing the play area next time?
This year is the first one I haven't bought any Christmas decorations I didn't need at the after Christmas sales.
Fantastic work! I finally donated four large bags of clothing to the op shops today. Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement. 🙂
Wow! I needed this. My basement overwhelms me. So messy!!
I've never hoarded. Whenever I want to clean out a space, I do the easy stuff first. I throw out the papers and trash first, then recycling, then give aways.
I only use brown craft paper and yarn to wrap gifts. Tina, Al's wife
I appreciate you doing this series. It's encouraged me to sell off my basement stuff a little at a time.
Strong start. Well done.
My mom used to say "Do it while you're thinking about it". I try to do that action, but once in a while get sidetracked. Example if you have the box with trash and recyclables, stop and take care of it. If you declutter art supplies, check out an assisted living or nursing facility, they do art with the residents and financial resources are slim. You would be doing a favor for them.
Simply amazing! You are doing an incredible job! Happy New Year! Can't wait for clutterfree in 2023!
I yelled, “woo!” when you uncovered an empty bin! 💪
I love that you are trying to get the items going to your family right away.
So proud of you
July 2023. Another big bag full of clothes is going to Goodwill. There are breakable items, too, but I need a small box for those items. Yesterday, I shredded a
pile of old papers and bills. There's another pile of books and magazines for the library, too. Tina, Al's wife
You have made such amazing progress, and I'm excited to see what you do this year!
2023 can't wait to see your basement made into your goal.
You are doing great.
Be kind to yourself, you have been busy, a little at time everyday and it will get done😊👍
I have just made the decision that I am going to follow along with you this year. My house really needs help and clutter free for 2023 sounds like the perfect plan ❤
What a fantastic start of the new year, that was a great pile. It doesn't matter that some was decluttered just before Christmas. In the past you would have it sitting in the basement for years. It looks so spacious now!! I hope you will have time to revisit the garage with hubby, maybe the little attic and shed too? :) Have a great weekend!
Hello from Germany and hi miss heart and miow pepper... New year is now, let us declutter..... Good job. Be safe
You are such a blessing!
You are doing a fantastic job!!! With all you did for others during the Holiday Season, I feel like you should give yourself tons of grace!!!!!!!
You are just awesome!!! Now that´s decluttering and purging!!! Happy new year Ms heart and pepper
Great start to kick off the new year 🎉
A reward.
A working space for holiday stuff without cluttering the main living areas
Good job
Great job! My first step is to purchase some bins.
Yes! My motto too.
Good girl, Pepper. Great job, Mrs. Heart.
My struggle is not the clutters, its to clean, and most off all keeping the house clean and tidy !!
´cause I have a hubby who work two jobs to support financialy the wole family, a son of nine and a little tornado (tdah) of five. I work a part time job ( 11.45-20.15 tree days per week). 18 months ago I was pretty much on wheelchair. I recently finish my rehabilitation therapy and very proud of it !
But the state of my house didn’t seen any improvment and I feel like I mess it up ! It’s a big house with 4 rooms, a play room, two bathrooms, and two officies since we need each one. Whe also have a storage basement and something I wish I could name a yard.
I ´m just too overwhelmed and never see the results of my efforts on it. So my baby steps aren’t working because two days later its like I didn’t do anything !!
Happy New Year, Mel! You are a pro at this decluttering now - I am certain that you’ll have a clutter-free in 2023 basement 😊😊 you have done so much work and I am very proud of you ❤️
Wonderful progress! Very exciting to see how far you get this year xx I'm going to get restarted as well
Love your Channel. Still hard to get rid of things, but really organizing. Trash is easy to get rid of, I guess one step at a time🙏🏻❤️🥰
Loved this!!
I understand totally about things, that most people would consider trash, having value. I have some boxes broken down (and stored neatly) that I plan on using for craft items. Either for book covers or miniature projects. I'm not saying that I don't have items that need to be pitched. I have a lot that I have to take to the recycling center and a box for donations. I just have to get it in the car and take them where they need to go. I've got to get rid of the stuff so I have room to do more decluttering. I live in a small place that desperately needs decluttering.
I have a motto even for the next year! What about:"2024 - better the before"? 😁
My problem for the last couple years has been selling items, I hold onto it because I know I can sell it and make profit, i just don’t know how or where to start because it’s all to ship and sell online.
I also hold onto items that don’t fit because I’ve gone through hormonal issues for over decade and it’s easy for me to gain and lose 50 pounds + so I’m always changing sizes, even though I don’t like all the clothes I don’t have money at the moment to throw it away because I can’t buy new clothes
Fantastic start to the New Year congratulations 💜🦄
My corgi pup saw pepper on my bedroom tv and keeps watching her lol she looks identical to our max
Girl my house is rocked from the holidays and I don’t have hoarding disorder. Don’t be too hard on yourself.
Are you keeping all your empty totes? You should do a Konmari on them and only keep what you know you will need out of the empty totes, drawers, etc. I find if I keep them, I'll find something to put in them versus just decluttering what we don't need anyway.
Hope you are doing well! Miss Pepper is such a star!!! You got this! 😁😁👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗💓
So proud of you 💖
Well done! Whats your plan for this year? Finishing the basement? - I started a declutter challenge with my mom. each week we'll declutter something in our homes and send each other a video or picture :-D SO whole house declutter it is...
Happy New Year and best wishes to you and your family
Wonderful beginning for 2023! My goal is to have the house detailed of home projects for a possible move.
Happy New Year!
I have such a hard time getting rid of bubble mailers because I KNOW I could use them in the future and it’s more eco friendly to reuse items but I always have so many I will never use them all 😅
Amazing 🎉. Great job❤
😻Pepper!
It's so hard to let go of a good box...
Proud of you !
Great job!!
Love the basement declutter videos immensely. I am guessing once the basement is done, it will be the garage.
You are doing great. Could you re-add in the sweeping after your declutter. I didn’t realize how much I really love the sweep up after the declutter.
Doing the garage will be fun to watch!!
Love the Video and the sweet ms pepper
Great job today! I really like that Pepper always walks in the new empty floor space - she gets it! I can’t wait to see what you do down in the basement. You mentioned that it’s usually cold down there in winter - do you think you’ll insulate the walls to make it usable year-round?
I love your videos! They make my day!🙏🏻
Might a mini recycling station in the basement work for you? :)
September 2024. If you stop buying craft supplies, clothing for yourself, planners, and cosmetics, you'll save $$$ and your house will clear out. I get clothes second-hand. My craft budget is $5 per month. Your kids don't need many new clothes because they're still growing. Tina, Al's wife
Ms. Heart, any plans on giving on update on how your sons and husband feel about your decluttering progress?
❤️♥️💗
That was a big area!
