      I’m sorry this probably doesn’t make sense to put my comment here, but it’s the only way I was able to comment today 😞 First - good for you on making your appointment! I am praying for you. A lady commented about being disabled and being tested for cancer. The things you said to her were so beneficial to me, as well. I am chronically ill with several different diseases and disabled as a result. My energy level many days is non-existent. But I try doing this in baby steps. Every step forward is still a step in the right direction. A step is a step! I just wanted to say thank you! You have helped me over the last year more than you know. I know it’s a lot of work for you, but please know how much you are appreciated. YOU ARE AMAZING!!! ❤

      If all day cluttering is too much for people, please let them know that they can do only what hours they want when they want! Especially if energy limitations!, I go back to the course recordings and listen and declutter when I have some time and the energy.
      Works much better for some of us!

    Canada is NOT boring! I think you, Dawn and Dana should have a contest. Folks who need assistance submit photos or video. Then the 3 of you pick someone and all 3 of you fly to that location and do a big decluttering/organizing event with that person.

    I'm seeing a few chats of people struggling with messy neurodivergent kids. I just wanted to share that I have ADHD and was an INCREDIBLY messy child - unintentionally. I just didn't see the mess or clutter. My mum desperately tried to teach me differently but it did not work. It took growing up and going through experiences to learn it. Now I am super organized. You're not failing as a parent if you can't teach your neurodivergent child to take care of their environment. Give yourself and them grace. As long as you get them professional help, and lots of love, they will sort themselves out. If they're still 'a mess' after their mid-20s, then you can teach them structure because they'll have more bandwidth for it at a calmer, more attentive age.

      @@lovefortruth3414 body doubling can really help! Even if through RUclips, having a video of someone else decluttering or cleaning on in the background whilst you do the same kinds of jobs can help with some of the hurdles stopping you from moving, and help motivate you! (One ADHD RUclipsr couple even made an app for body doubling, I believe, called Dubbii specifically for body doubling videos - although I haven’t used it; I enjoy the series of videos by the channel The Space Maker Method - long videos, lots of them from the same declutterers, and realistic amounts of clutter for people who KEEP STUFF. I find watching a video or two can get me motivated enough to get moving, and I love having it run in a playlist as I go!
      It might also help to have a kind of “vision board” of your ideal space you keep for yourself. As you do tidying passes you may find it becoming more and more believable that you’ll get there, which can be super motivating!
      Also, taking Before and After photos! It proves that things HAVE improved, which is again another source of confidence-boosting and showing yourself you can do it! (Just don’t forget to take the before photo! I always forget!)
      Wishing you luck, I hope any of this might help!

      i am 14 and clutterbug has helped me a ton with clutter and mess.. unfortunately ive tried to teach my mom about declutter and she doesnt care! she keeps buying boxes and i say you buy these everytime you go to the store, what are you putting in them? and she says random things. you wouldn’t have to keep buying them if you decluttered!! but she does not listen to me, and im still struggling with my room and my room is constantly stressing me out :( my mom doesnt help me but clutterbug has helped a ton :)

      ​@@lovefortruth3414 I have ADHD as well. My husband too, our child is too young to be diagnozed yet. I feel you.
      The hard reality is: you can get yourself help to be with you, to question your decitions, but in the end you need to do the work. You need to decide how you want to live, how much time, money and work you want to put into it. Because it is your life.
      But some things may help you. Ask yourself what you like and what you need. E. g. I need a calming place to feel save, secure and to relax. So my home has a colour scheme with only a few colours. I love colours, but at home I need this relaxed, calmer place. A good friend of mine who has ADHD too said to me she couldn't live in my home. Her home is very colourful because that colours give her the power to get through her day. I love to visit her but after some time it would be too much for me. It really depends on what you need and want.
      You can choose colours, zone different actions like dining zone, cooking zone, sleeping zone... But you can zone for other actions like music, dancing, painting as well. Once you have decided which zones/actions you need you can put everything you need for it there. And you can combine some actions. E. g. you may need your bedroom to sleep at night. But at day you can use it otherwise.
      I personally found it helpful to watch different videos from different creators about Interieur Design to understand how they plan different rooms and styles.
      Try to make your life as easy as possible. And give yourself the grace you would give your best friend. It doesn't need to be perfect. It only needs to fit your life.

I grew up very poor. And your suggestion brought me to tears bc just those little things will bring love and gratefulness into the space. Brilliant!

    Get the Take Your House Back/ all day declutter thing - best $94 I’ve ever spent! & Have been continuing to use the course replays & paying the $10/Year for the past three years which has been So Incredibly Helpful - It was a such a five-star DISASTER in my house beforehand & I have even been able to maintain it since then! Even adding in that I have recently had to declutter to downsize from 4 bedrooms 3 baths living room dining room media room kitchen to a 2 bedroom 2 baths - & I don’t do the Facebook thing, but it is still great without that! It has been so useful to replay the courses& the take your house back days - very very very Helpful!!! Especially with the blending of Cas, Dawn, & Dana’s styles of decluttering & organizing advantages in each style help in different ways - So Great!!! Thank you for the course, Cas!!!

And Dawn's declutter more scares me, but it's a good encouragement to just get the job done. Enjoy your day 😊

    Thank you Cas. My youngest daughter help helped me declutter preCovid. She had moved from Australia to US and back so was ruthless about essentials. She didn’t get the decision fatigue that set in after a few hours, and we would argue or she would say I was being avoidant. We have recently found out we both have ADHD. Its allowed for very different conversations.
    I recently downsized after 25 years in a 3 bed house with studio on acreage to a 2 bed with large shed in our town. Everything had to come because the sale went through so fast. I'm six months in and the second bedroom is still full of boxes. And the shed is full.
    I've tried to stop bringing in new stuff thanks to you.
    I just did 25 Things you dont need.
    Now to tackle the huge amount of preserving gear. Boxes of jars. Saucepans.
    And furniture that belongs to my past.
    I love your style and your honest communication. My friends name for me is Cass. I'm 68 ❤

  • @ronjab4586
    @ronjab4586 5 месяцев назад +5

    Dana's container concept no mess method saved me. I was always very minimalist and still am for my stuff. I used to move a lot all over the world, just with two suitcases. That was while I was studying, so it was also always tiny studio apartments with zero storage space. So I really just lived with the essentials.
    But then I settled down and started having kids. And for whatever reason, everything is important just in case with them for me. It took less than a year to get completely overcrowded with baby/kids stuff. And it was such an over-thinking problem to get rid of any of it, since I always thought with everything one of the kids may still need it.
    Now I'm doing the easter egg method to maintain our space - great for toddlers and my ADHD self. Usually I do it in a fit of ADHD rage, roughly once a month when I feel overwhelmed and don't stop until 2 garbage bags are full, one with trash, one for donations. Takes 15 to 20 minutes and is so satisfying without making a mess.
    Because I'm 100% with you, gathering everything to declutter is an absolute nightmare. I tried that in the very beginning one time, and after gathering all our back then 1 year olds toys, I closed her room, and that pile stayed like that for several weeks, that's how bad it overwhelmed me - an entire room unusable. But I'm happy that I had that experience, because it made me look online for solutions and that's how I stumbled over you, Dana and Dawn - the three of you truly changed my life.

    Dana’s No Mess Method
    5 step decluttering process ❤️
    1. Easiest of the easiest step- Trash. -No decisions to be made. Black trash bag is ideal so you can’t see what you throw away. -changes how I view the pile, gets me moving without any decision making..just throwing away obvious trash.
    2. What in here do I already know where it goes (easy decision/obvious location)? Take it there now, one item at a time.- Something that already has an established home: laundry, kitchen stuff, cd’s, crafts, cleaning supplies, music stuff..
    3. Duh clutter. “Duh, why is this here?” If something obviously needs to go to donate box, just do it.
    4. (Difficult stuff) One item at a time: if I needed this item where would I look for it first (instinct based)? Do not make a pile, take it there now, it guarantees progress! [You only ask if you can’t answer the first question.] (Reality check) If I needed this item, would it ever occur to me that I already have one (things you would do without or you’d go buy one: fishing line)? If I needed fishing line would it ever occur to me that I already had some, or would I buy more? If I would never go looking for it, I’d go buy another one, and end up with 2. That’s the opposite of decluttering, throw it out/donate. If in the future is it worth $5 to me to have this space decluttered (which was my goal) from now to when I might need fishing line? [Realistically if I wasn’t decluttering, I wouldn’t know I had fishing line and I would have bought another one anyway.] There’s only a 10% chance you’d have to buy that again anyway. [You’ve already moved everything out could see and get to without pulling everything out that was trash, easy to put in locations, or donate.]
    5. Container concept: Consolidate- put scissors together, glitter together (forces you to touch each item) You’ll be able to get rid of Duh clutter and trash- “Oh I hate these scissors, they don’t work”. “Oh I have 27 makeup brushes, I don’t need that many brushes, I’ll get rid of 5. Now I have 22 brushes and they still don’t fit in the container.” Put favorite ones in first, until you’re out of room. Which ones do I like the least? Until the container is usable, and not packed tight. Which of these are more important to me, which ones deserve the space? Deal with one item at a time, scissors, paper, glitter. Never make a bigger mess, just make progress by one item at a time.

    Been decluttering for a few years now and love it. Now I’m starting to look at what is practical in my home like I made a taller firewood box on castors for the lounge so I can clean under and around it and wheel it to the front door so I don’t traipse grass and mud inside and it’s safer. Also made a firewood shelter in the garage which holds 6 barrows full instead of keeping the barrows full of wood and unusable. These kind of things are making me feel calmer and next level organised.

    I did the yes/no when we helped my mom move. Then separated the yes into the two categories and the no into the two categories after you have the two piles. Yes/No helped decrease the anxiety. We got so much done quicker and less stressful for all of us. Also, once two piles, it's the would you buy again, do you love it, etc...questions. I have the list you use and that really helps!!

    I was inspired and had decluttered my candle storage a few weeks ago (I thought), but after hearing you talk about how crazy it was to put a candle back into storage if you didn't really like the scent, I went back in and decluttered again ... Candle scents I didn't like are now gone. Incense I've stored for decades - gone. Candlesticks I never burn - gone. Wax burners I haven't used in years - gone. Plug-ins I'm just storing - gone.... What's left now are all of my favorite candles. And I know exactly what I have because I can easily SEE everything now. ...I may revisit my medicine and lotions in the same way. I've gotten rid of SO much, but I know there's more purging to do. The process is getting so much easier now. Thank you for the inspiration!
    Another inspiration for me has been deactivating social media. It's designed to mine our attention. Although I didn't post often and only checked it out in the evenings from my laptop, it was time spent doing literally nothing for myself. Decluttering messages, like yours, have to sink in. So, freeing myself from social media, gave me the time to keep what you're saying in my thoughts. I'm happy to say that I'm getting super excited about all the positive changes I'm making.

For the longest time I had no money left for repairs-then my long term relationship ended and I shop therapied my way to high credit card debt. Some of that debt was a few things to transform my room etc and I love the room now!There’s some bad spots in the house but the main rooms I use I’m working on to make it amazing. I’ll be back to decluttering soon as I get spaces cleared and ready for repairs to happen.

It's the only thing that makes me feel shame in a good way to where its like yeah this is crazy i have to get it together. I saved this tiktok video the other day from a woman who was reacting to the really messy house cleaning tiktoks and she said "we need to bring back shame. And embarassment."

    I joined it a year and a half ago. My house is still unreasonably cluttered - except a few spaces are not! And it makes me think about decluttering all the time. Creating movement, even how would this room function better, instead of guilt.
    In the end this week I decided because of my physical health it's too overwhelming so I'm going to hire somebody but if I hadn't joined the class I never would have considered hiring anybody. I found a person who loves decluttering and loves organizing and loves cleaning so how good does it get. I'm going to work along with them and we're going to use the tips and tricks that I've learned. And you know once you pay even if you've not used it very much that year it's only $10 to renew so I've already decided I'm a lifer. $95. I've invested $100 in a lot less productive ways.

    Suggestion for a video- how to be a minimalist and fully enjoy hobbies that seem to need a lot of stuff(quilting and cross stitch). I'm sure there are others that easily cause accumulation- woodworking and sports and others. I've tamed my extra stuff around reading and gardening, so I know it's possible.

    Wanted to let you know, in case you wanted to fix it. ☺️ The very generous and appreciated printable Spring Cleaning Checklist from Top to Bottom gets cut off at the top and bottom of the page when it’s printed. Of course people can adjust that one page, but I’m sure you want it to print correctly, like all the other pages. Thank you so much for providing this and for free! Much appreciated! 😍

    I have done it before. I enjoyed it.
    I need to do it again. I feel like no matter what I fail at getting rid of stuff. I need the motivation.
    I need to take a day off work and do it during the week also.

    I'm a professional mess maker ...for example while watering seedlings I dumped over the entire container of dirt into the kitchen sink! This is how I learned to get comfortable with cleaning, because I seem to make unbelievable messes on the regular.😅

    I needed to get rid of a lot more than I thought so that I had free space ready for life and projects. There’s always something that needs to be returned to someone, charity shop box, read when have more time / energy, tickets for something, washing at some stage of cycle. All of this stuff made my home messier if it was out somewhere thinking just a temporary home and place will be tidy once those tasks done!

    Re big pile of stuff, I kind of did this with hubbies stuff. I gathered all white socks in a big pile so he could see how many he had, didn’t really need to say get rid of some it was obvious he could let go of half! Same thing for white t shirts. Some methods work for small sections but good to have choices and not just blame yourself if you can’t get your one method to work in a particular area.

    It's kind of like the "touch it once" method I used last time.
    I decide where it goes and put it there immediately. There are some containers to help minimize running around the house.
    I also used your "not everything has to be folded" method too.

    I’m starting to have a no job too small day. It’s a combo of take it there now and doing a small job. If I see a screwdriver out, I put it away and then see if there’s anything in that spot that needs doing or putting away. It’s great when you haven’t got the mojo for a large job and all the little things are getting to you knowing you’re making progress.

    Hi my dear. I swear in another lifetime you and I had to have been siblings because you nailed it when you were talking about sorting things and piling things just for the sake of sorting and piling I have a problem that every time I put anything into a container that thing disappears forever well or until I randomly pick that container and open it up and look inside but I'm serious I cannot remember what I put in a box or a bag even a minute after it's in there so your video helped me a lot and I did just join. But now I have to go feed my 17 lizards before it gets much later but I'll be back as soon as I can hopefully I'll remember hahaha and I am excited about starting to take back my house well technically it is my mother's house she is 88 years old and I am her soul caregiver I also was diagnosed at the age of 28th with the most severe combined type ADHD that Dr Lacey had ever seen. And I know that as a professional who is so talented as he is that is a massive statement but I'm wearing to live with it and trying to customize my routine unfortunately I'm 55 years old now and I am still not able to manage time I do know that I'm a butterfly I believe as far as organizational type I guess but if it isn't seen it no longer exists My kitchen table is piled about two and a half feet high with clutter because when I walk in I put it on the kitchen table the different items on holding because I know I'm not finished yet and I need to come back to those items and I don't want to forget where I put them so they get buried into the abyss.

  • @waterloobicycleworks
    @waterloobicycleworks 5 месяцев назад

    I have such a hard time because I have collected so much stuff over the years and now I am overwhelmed by the thought of decluttering. In large part due to my passion for environmentalism and sustainability (more understanding since acquiring all the stuff). The majority of donated items end up in landfills, many in other countries that we ship it off to. So it is quite hard for me to think of that when “getting rid” of my stuff. Then I just have extreme guilt for acquiring so much stuff prior to learning about all of that. 😩

  • @cynthiahunter6588
    @cynthiahunter6588 5 месяцев назад

    My stuck place is getting it out. I live in an apartment and the dumpster is far and often difficult to access. And taking donations is another thing to add to my list. Also, going through 3 doors ( some locked) to take things to my car is another overwhelm. 😢

Most of the time it works because u usually work afternoon/evenings but the next one I’m scheduled to work almost the entirety of the ADD. And I struggle to do a re-Watch!
