TAKE YOUR HOUSE BACK is hosted with three of us, myself, Dana from A Slob Comes Clean and Cas from Clutterbug. We talk big picture about how to declutter and focus a lot of attention on working through obstacles like sentimental items, unsupportive family members and other hang ups.

In the DECLUTTER YOUR HOME IN 15 MINUTES A DAY course we go through the workbook, breaking down specific areas of your home in detail to be able to declutter faster and with more confidence. If you want to know specifics (like how many of each thing to keep) this course is for you. Self-paced for those who don't always have consistent time set aside to declutter.

And I hope this video helps and that you've already been making some decluttering progress this new year! You can do it!!!! - Dawn
I love Blinkist. I actually received a book and decided to read the blinks 1st.
I really need to know where you got your shirt! I want one!
@@tiaquinn5490 Target :)
@@TheMinimalMom ❤️ thank you!
Dawn, help! I signed up for the 7 day free trial of Blinkist and now I can't cancel it.
I try to remember that past decisions weren’t wrong. They were just made in my past and it’s not a decision I’d make now so it’s okay to go to someone else! It will be their next decision!
Fantastic mindset 👍😁😁😁. I really think that we are growing and changing all the time, and what we wanted/needed has to change as well. I struggle with letting go of sentimental items 🙄, it's the one area that I am still working on.
Love that change of framing it! Genius
Good point. I'm stealing this.
Another tip is to always have a box at the ready. I always have a donate box waiting so that if I find something that can go, it has a place to go. When the box is full, we donate it and start another. Usually, it ends with several boxes because a little decluttering leads to a little MORE decluttering lol.
Also, I think it helps to remember that living a less cluttered life is a lifestyle, not a project to be completed. With three kids, a grand baby, and 30 years if marriage, I have been decluttering for a very long time. Like dust bunnies, stuff just seems to breed behind closed doors lol and there's always something that can go.
Nice tip! I love the box at ready idea.
This is well put. Thank you!

Thanks to Dawn and her amazing advice in all of her videos and including recommending atomic habits, I was able to accomplish an amazing whole house to clutter and I accidentally developed new habits that I had no intention of developing! These include making my bed every day, doing the dishes after every single meal, folding the laundry right out of the dryer and hanging up my coat and bag on hooks rather than dumping them on the dining room table. Just by going through this process I became a tidier person (these actions became as easy and more attractive to me than my old ways) and I can’t think Dawn enough!
Awesome!
My brother visited me in July, and he was really impressed with how my house looks now compared to the last time he visited a couple of years earlier. Now, he recently shared that he’s decluttering.
When I have an area of my house that has gotten messy, I will take a picture of it and text it to a friend and let them know I’m going to get started, and then I Will set a timer and work for a certain amount of time. When I am finished or when the time is up I send an “after” photo to my friend. And then I get all of their applause and cheers!
This is a fantastic idea! It’s a smidge competitive which is great to motivate. Lol. I’ve taken a picture of the areas I want to clear so I could psych myself up to start. Plus the photo of the clutter puts some distance between you and the mess instead of standing in the midst of it and feeling suffocated by the clutter
The do a little… 5 min… just one drawer… changed my life! I started with that concept, and next thing I know, my first declutter session that was to declutter 1 drawer ended up taking about 3 hours because once I got going it was hard to stop… 😂
Yay!
Yes, start with one. I did Bible reading habit, then decluttering habit and now healthy eating habit. Building the habits and seeing the rewards in my faith, my home and my weight! Thanks for your encouragement Dawn.
I started with debt, then decluttering, now health. It definitely snow balls!
I want this! Bible, health, declutter...
Keep up the great attitude!
Me too! Totally makes it easier to gain steam!
I also tell myself
'I am used to achieving my goals!'
Works for me cuz i'm on my 3rd minimizing cycle!😁
I’d say those are some pretty good habits to have!
I love saying “thank you” to the item. “Thank you, you are no longer serving me. Goodbye.” It makes it so much easier to let go out of a feeling of appreciation rather than resentment. Sending it on to someone else who can use it or putting it in the trash/recycling to make my home more peaceful.
Yes! I’ve even got my mom saying “thank you for your service” 😄
Nice thought! I'm going to try SAYING Thank You as I shuffle so many sentimental items out my door.
I've been watching for years and I have to say, since you've started ending most of your videos with, "I love you"... it's just made me that much more excited for your content.
It is such a small phrase, and I know you don't know us all individually, but I think, at least in my experience, a lot of times, we ARE the ones that are managing all of the "inventory" and the schedules and the meals and the laundry and everyone else's emotional and physical needs, and making sure our kids and husbands and households feel loved and cherished, and sometimes we just feel feel overwhelmed, or unappreciated, or we just don't feel that we receive all of that love back all the time, and so, while it is something so small that you offer...
thank you.
Thank you for acknowledging, and for encouraging.
I have always loved your content and even downloaded several of my favorite videos of yours so that I could watch them while I was deployed as they actually helped during homesick periods, but, hearing you say, "I love you", and be so genuine and sincere each and every time...
it literally makes me tear up sometimes.
Thank you for everything you do.
We see you and we appreciate you.
Love this and your channel!! You've completely changed the way I live, from decluttering, to thinking more about my purchases before bringing more invintory into my home. In the last year I've gotten rid of so many bags, boxes and totes of STUFF. And you know what? I DON'T MISS ANY OF IT!! I still have a ways to go, but thank you so much for inspiring me!
You are AMAZING. Dawn, you are a SUPERSTAR and I am thankful that you share your testimony on minimalism, and simple living.
You are so kind Lisa, thank you for ALL of your encouragement!!!
The shots of your bedroom and wardrobe are so beautiful and attractive to me! I'm trying to get my family on board with all the decluttering that needs to be done in our house. I have my kitchen, bathroom, under our bed, and closet simplified so far! I live with a bunch of pack rats, though. ;)
I’ve just started going through clothing totes of hand me downs from my older son and daughter for my younger son and daughter and it’s amazing how much my mindset has changed in a few years. There are SO many clothes! Now as I’m getting out the next size, I’m decluttering at least half, maybe more. Because there is no way an 18 month old needs 23 play shirts. I know they’re messy at this age but that’s ridiculous. I so appreciate your videos! I don’t know any minimalists in real life, it’s nice to have a virtual minimal friend :)
Yes, I have clothes that I'm keeping for my 2 yr from my 7.5 yr old, and I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it or if I just need to let it go or how much to keep especially as Christmas comes and goes and family buys her so much
When I got out the 3T t-shirts from my oldest for my 3 yr old twins there were THIRTY...30!!!!!! One child had 30 3t t-shirts! And it's been that way all along. Rarely have I bought clothes for twins! I beg my mom not to buy. My oldest now has a week's worth of clothes for jr high and it is so manageable. The kicker is I have boys.
@@papercraftingmom98 my middle child who is a boy had very minimal clothing to choose from prior to Christmas now its overflowing, and my oldest definitely is overflowing in her laundry, I have 3 containers saved back for my youngest
@@natalieeubank4533 my boys are about 4 years apart, my girls about 3.5. I’m finding that some things I saved I never really liked the first time around, so I’m just keeping my favorites. It has been special to reuse some of the favorite pieces :) some things got pretty ratty, and I don’t know why i saved them….
@@papercraftingmom98 I have in-laws who buy us so many clothes! I’m still trying to find that sweet spot for how much to have for my girls(my 3yo is really picky about what she wears), but for my boys I have 3 dress shirts, 3 play shirts, and 3 niceish but not as nice as a dress shirt shirts. And then I do the same with pants/shorts. Girls just have so many cute options with skirts, play dresses, and everything else, it’s harder to have self control when buying.
The best thing I did in my kitchen was to paint inside every cupboard and drawer with white paint
I never comment on RUclips videos but I absolutely love your channel. You do such a great job. Your authenticity and passion for helping others shines through. Thank you for inspiring others the way you do.
Yes! Your excitement encourages me!! Thanks so much!
It all takes work, if it is important to us...faith, kids , marriage and minimalism.
I’ve been on my decluttering/minimalism journey for a year now. Life sent us a few curve balls but it’s much easier to keep clean and I have more layers to work through. The new habit I have committed to is cleaning my kitchen every night. It’s so nice to come down in the morning and just be able to make coffee and breakfast without clutter and mess in the way. It seems like a no brainer but I wasn’t this person before. I love it! Thanks Dawn and Dana!
this is the way to expand your space. What a revelation. Instead of trying to buy more to fit our things we just get rid of our things. Thank you. I see it now.
I have been watching you for about a year now and this is my first ever comment but I have to just tell you how inspiring you are! Last year after binge-watching a ton of your videos I got straight to work and started decluttering a TON of our stuff. My husband and I have 3 kids so toys was first on the list and my closet came in a close second! I’m still at it and feel I’ve come a long way since 1year ago but always feel there is more to accomplish. I watch you all the time, however, when I do need a bit of inspiration, I watch your videos! And then I’m totally in the mood to declutter again! So…Thank You!
My husband uses 2-3 shirts every day (he sweats a lot in our tropical weather) so he has a lot of them unlike Tom! And I try take it easy for him to be tidy, but have decided to just use 1-2 min (micro habits) to tidy up behind him and keep myself satisfied. However even he made some decluttering suggestions today, I nearly fell over. Thanks Dawn!
Atomic Habits is life changing. I just started it and I'm already so motivated. Ps Dawn, I love your top. That color is very pretty on you 😊
Thank you Danielle!!!
I love the top too. Very flattering color💖
I thought the same!
I was thinking the same!! I love that color so much right now!!
Love your top! While I enjoy and appreciate your black “uniform,” this is the MOST attractive top I’ve seen you wear in 6 weeks of “knowing” you, Dawn!
My current micro habit is: Don't put it down, put it away!
Ann, I tell myself that numerous times a day. I say it out loud!
LOVE this!
I've said this outloud to myself too!
I am so grateful for your channel and ideas. Just days before Christmas 2020, I realized I had miscarried. The days following (waiting on a D&C and dealing with grief I didn't know what to do with), I channeled all my energy to decluttering and organizing my home. I became somewhat obsessive, but your channel largely attributed to the motivation I needed, and the process of getting some things in control in my life helped me greatly in coping with the loss. Don't get me wrong; the Lord saw me through, but He gave me a distraction that changed my life. Now a little over a year later, I still thrive on your advice and, as Joshua Becker points out, the clutter and disorganization is largely tied into our spiritual life. So anyway, that was a long way to say thank you, and God bless you for helping so many people learn ways to live more simply. You have been a big highlight in my life. (My husband also found Tom and his channel around this season and has really enjoyed that as well.) 💕 Much love!
I’m sorry for your loss and am sending you hugs, Rebecca. It’s wonderful that God led you to find Dawn at the right time.
@@tameyourtasklist1872 Thank you for your kind words! God has provided much healing and Heaven is now a lot sweeter. I believe I will see my baby one day, and it has brought so much comfort and peace knowing the Heavenly Father spared my little one of ever knowing any heartache or pain. That thought has brought me through. ❤️ Yes, God brought Dawn and her channel into my life at the perfect moment and gave me a very unexpected way of helping me cope.
Amen to that, Rebecca. God is so good.🙏🏻

It's really amazing to me that after all this time, there's still things to talk about in regards to minimalism & decluttering, and I'm still encouraged and motivated by what you share. Ive been on this journey for 5ish years and now am I really starting to see & feel the benefits in our home on a daily basis- we've had 3 kids and moved 3 times in that time so it's taken a while to get here but it is so worthwhile!
You have changed my life. i used to keep everything and have great guilt letting go. Now i lay awake thinking of what i will declutter the next day. i have gained so much confidence. i gave myself a year. So Feb 23 i should have a clutter free life. Thank you.
Amen!! 100% what happened to me. Hard stuff became easy. I removed two bookshelves and a second desk from my home office, huge difference. And rewarded myself with a few small upgrades to my closet that have made a big difference. I will never go back to clutter, not worth it!
I have long thought of decluttering success as a ripple effect. My foray was figuring out how to keep track every morning of my keys and stethoscope so I could find them immediately without having to hunt. I got a pair of magnetic hooks for the side of the fridge where they go every evening without fail. This translated to keeping the nearby kitchen counter cleared off, and in an ever-widening circle, I established natural "no clutter" zones where clutter could not live. I am not perfect at this and still do have hot spots, but it is the nature of habits to stick when they lead to a reward. Easily found items that launch me out the door, and having serene surfaces with no piled-up accumulation, are a definite reward.
Yes 🙌 one thing I have found after being minimal in this last year after finding your amazing channel is how amazing I feel after doing the 5 minute tidy up (doesn’t even take 5) and looking back at my clean and tidy kitchen and living room open space 🥰🥰 feels so good and makes me love my home! Thank you Dawn for all the motivation and guiding me to the minimalism lifestyle and journey ❤️
It definitely gets easier the more you do it. We started in the garage. 2nd time we worked there more went and it went quicker. Every time I do a new space, it gets quicker and easier. I downsized Christmas when we decorated and putting it away just yesterday was so much easier and things were not crammed in the bins. It took me 3 years to get my mind on board, but I am seeing things getting better. I would love to get it finished this year. Here is to hoping. Thanks for the motivation and the tips.
Love the 5 minute declutter really works - that and the end of night kitchen tidy
Dawn of the minimal mom, my products have been bullying me for so long, I thank God for bringing you into my like 🥰🥰🥰🥰
You are truly my one and only minimal mom!!!!!!!!
i feel like i've been decluttering for at least 6 years... and I don't think it ever really sunk in what decluttering or minimalism truly is until december 2021/jan 2022. I got hit with thyroid disease over the spring and spent most of my days in 2021 bedridden and I just realized how much of a pain physical things are. I physically couldn't clean or put away laundry and having full drawers and things on the way made it 100x harder.
However, since this past December, I feel like I am finally seeing my things with fresh eyes. I just want most of it gone. Some things are difficult, but I am more aware of why I am keeping things. I can't get rid of them fast enough. I really was making tasks for myself to fulfill that a)no one knew about but myself ie. read this book and learn about this topic, finish this painting and b)that didn't matter or align with my goals and caused me to spend more money in the long run.
When I do declutter, however, I always get stuck on the same pile of stuff though.... it's a combination of sentimental and aspirational items. I wish I knew how to declutter them. I feel like a huge weight will be lifted off of me when they're finally gone. I'm so tired of seeing these boxes of things, but once I go through them I can't seem to make progress.
I just finished round 1 of decluttering and I will be doing the 5-15 minute declutters as necessary when I clear all the bags out. I'm turning 30 at the end of this year and I really want to enter my 30's with a fresh start. I deserve it and so does everyone else.
p.s. your channel is seriously so helpful. idk what it is about your channel but I instantly start to declutter lol 😄
What I found that helped with aspirational items was to realize that weren't items for me but for my 'fantasy' self. Once I realized that i was able to pass the items on.
You are doing amazing! I am a 31 year survivor of thyroid cancer. I have been amazed at the mental toll a non-working thyroid had on me. Only one of my thyroid lobes was removed in 1991. I had the rest removed in 2005 and never looked back. I was never bedridden. But I think your goal of being decluttered as you go into your thirties is genius! Go, go, go!! You will so enjoy your 30's, 40's and 50's so much!! The 60's have started well for me. Keep moving ahead. I am praying for you to have all you want in everything and to not have what you do not need!! PTL! Keep smiling!
I feel you. I have Hashimoto and it took me three years to get my thyroid medication dosage correct. I was so tired all the time and overwhelmed and emotional with everything. Now I feel so much better as my thyroid levels are good because medication dosage is correct at last.
I also found Dawn's channel and finally I understood what was wrong in our house. We had so much stuff (we've four kids), that I didn't know how to manage it all. I got rid of so much inventory. Our house feels so much better, I feel great and I am not afraid anymore to open our door for guests! Thank you Dawn!
Dawn, we love you and thank you so much! You will never know how much you helped our family. We will be forever greatfull.
Being a grandma-mommy in my 60s, I don't know if I can make my house as beautiful and organized as yours is, but it is inspirational. Love you too 💗
👋 There’s another grandma-mommy watching & learning & being inspired by Dawn (& Diana) on this channel. I’m 61 and my little boy is 4.5.
Cheryl Webb, I totally understand, but I am constantly rearranging my granddaughters “space” and toys to help her get decluttering muscles😃. But she gets to say what is a special keep, of her special toys…even if they are too young for her.
i like how you said that what would have been hard a month ago is no longer hard because after 10-15 minutes a day we are just over it!
Belief is so important for making things happen. Love the message
So trueeee!!!!
Exciting times of positive change.
You are right. I always ask God for grace and guidance, and He helps me in amazing ways 🙏
One day at a time, one item at a time, I am getting my husband on board. All thanks to him hearing me play your videos in the background. Thank you.
Good idea! Maybe I should stop using AirPods 😉
I love your positivity and encouragement! It is so refreshing and so needed today!
❤ Thanks so much for your encouragement!!
Thank you Dawn & God bless!
I had never realized decluttering is difficult because of the associated guilt. It's so true! Everytime I think about donating a dress, I think I spent 40$ on it I will keep it to wear a few times next summer. Even though I don't even really like it! Also, online shopping is another reason for all the clutter. We buy and we don't return and then we think we should just wear it. Ugh.
I absolutely love how animated you were in this video! Thank you so much Dawn for inspiring my decluttering journey!!!!!
So, I made a purchase in December (for myself). I can’t donate.
I am not going to use it.
It’s $150 of WRONG.
Before I started listening, I would have kept it for a few years until I was emotionally more distant.
I’m going to (gulp) go ahead and trash it.
🥴😬😵💫
Lesson learned, we've all made mistakes. Trash it, give yourself some grace, and move on to better decisions. Don't beat yourself up!

Sooner you get rid of the sooner you will forgive and forget.

I can't wait to get this crap out of my house! Thank you!
Yes for sure! You’ve helped me so much I appreciate your guidance and continue to watch to keep on track! Thank you 😊
Preach it, Dawn ! 🙌🙌🙌
I really appreciate that at the end of your videos you tell your viewers that you love them. Makes me feel so connected and appart of your community 💕 thanks Dawn, I love you too 😘
You are so inspiring! I love your videos! Your laugh makes me smile and I am so grateful for what you are doing to help me get better at minimalism. Thank you!
YaY, Dawn ... thank you ... I'm thinking about all you've shared ... we enjoy your sincerity and enthusiasm ... it's catching!! love from us xoxo
Really love your videos! I feel so much better since I started decluttering at least one area per day!
Great video!! Thank you Dawn. Just worked through several sentimental boxes and it wasn't fun but what you said is so true, continuing to listen to you, Cas and Dana helped me remember why I am doing this!
Your videos have become invaluable to me on my declutter journey. God bless!!
Thank you so much for your videos. Every one is full of inspiration and info, but what I love most is it is practical and doable. You make it seem possible to get through the process to the reward at the end...living simply and living for what matters instead of all the stuff.
I have been watching your videos for a few years and they have changed my life and my outook on what life can be.
I agree that watching yours and other minimalist channels keeps decluttering in the forefront and really helps with Intentional purchases!!! Thanks for all you do Dawn!!!
You are directly a gift of God !!!! Thank you for doing what you do! :)
Thank you for these helpful and encouraging comments!
Wow!!! Decision fatigue...... Answers so much. Mind blown! Thank you!!!!!!!
I really appreciate your videos, Dawn. They are always timely and full of your wisdom and humor. Thank you so much!💕
Yes! So true about staying inspired & motivated by consuming content about whatever you’re working on. When I was getting out of debt…and had fallen off the wagon multiple times before…it helped so much to listen to Dave Ramsey’s shows every day. Now I listen to your videos or TYHB course videos every day!
You are the best Dawn! ❤️
Dawn, you are a great motivational speaker. I've been following you from the beginning and I'm so happy I found your channel. Once again- thank you!
I started re-reading Atomic Habits again at the beginning of the month. I love this book.
Love all of your content. Been following for awhile now. I like how you narrate and talk you include visuals. That helps some of us a lot. Best wishes in the new year🌻😊
Thank you Dawn for your inspiration, it really helps!
Dawn, really inspiring content lately! Thank you!
This video talking pace was so much better than last time. Tyou. It gives me time to process what's being said. I love this channel.
Random comment: I find myself in tears after watching a lot of your videos...they spontaneously begin coming from my eyes! You speak directly to my heart...and I love that you say "I love you" before ending your videos. Thank you for your positive impact on this world :D
You are so inspirational and your energy just inspires me to try this!! We have sorta started with this with putting all the dishes away immediately after washing them and going to bed with a clean kitchen. It's not something we prioritized in the past but now we do and it has become a good habit!! Thanks for your energy Dawn and thanks for sharing another great video!!
I am so thankful I found you and your channel. You are so positive and hopeful and bring such joy.
Thank you for continuing to make videos to help us declutter our homes and for not giving up on those of us that have to have it explained 100 different ways before we really get it or even feel brave enough to start. It really means a lot!
Thank you again!! You keep me motivated all the time :)
Great insights, and YES to Atomic Habits.
I started the habit of watching at least one of your videos (or Diana’s) each night before I turn off screens. It’s such a positive way to end the day, and I think I sleep better after hearing your encouragement, too! Thank you! 💗
I needed this video right now, for “re-inspiration” and I’m so on board especially when you said enough is enough, I’m sitting here nodding along like crazy!
I am so glad I found you and your sister on RUclips you both bring value to my life thank you
Such a good reminder! I can easily be discouraged thinking of all of the habits I wish I had... but one at a time is an excellent and feasible goal!
Everything you do is intelligent, practical and life-changing. I always watch all your videos because I know I'm going to get value out of them
I just got blinkist and I’m super excited to use it! I get bored super easy and lose focus easily, so I feel like the way Blinkist works that’ll keep my attention. Thank you!!
Exactly! Enough is enough! This year I am embracing minimalism to the fullest! Thank you Dawn, you are lovely and so wise! We love you! Ciao from Rome, fabi 💕💕💕
Really enjoying your videos. Started watching a few weeks ago my wife and I are decluttering the house and me the garage thanks so much, also you seem to have a wonderful spirit thanks for sharing!
I definitely agree in setting goals & intentions in 1 area & growing from there. I've got a few core, daily routines I've been focusing on & it feels so good knowing that I am able to keep those going..and that has led me to finding new, small things to work on next & add to the daily. Up soon is the 10-15 minute daily tidy/declutter! Can't wait til Saturday for the all day declutter!
Like many people, I'm a bit hard of hearing and I read lips as people talk. It's so much easier to understand you when you don't smile and laugh as you talk. Thank you so much.
I just love your videos! The inventory concept is what really helps me, how much inventory do I want to manage. I just wish I could get my husband on board. I have gotten him to let go of some things, so there is hope🙂 Thank you, Dawn & I can't wait to get your workbook! ❤️
Thank you for sharing your faith! Blessings~
Thank you! I feel motivated🤗
Love your energy and enthusiasm!
While listening to this video (11+ minutes) I tackled my jewelry box (mostly costume jewelry). 45+ minutes later I have 50%-ish bagged and ready for the donation box. Thanks for being here, cheering us on to make good decisions about our inventory!
Thank you for wearing color! Very flattering.
Dawn, this was great! Thank you.
I love you too!! Ive recently found your chanell..and your videos have changed my thinking around decluttering, and also around how I want my home to feel..not only for us, but for others too that enter our home..Ive even avoided dinner parties at our home..because I would need to literally run around shoving clutter and mess in cupboards and drawers before visitors arrived..xx💞🥰😘 Thank you so much..😀💞💞🥰😘
Your uplifting video came at the right time for me! I'm making steady progress decluttering our home but need that final push to finish the journey. Tackling the garage will be challenging but with your helpful tips in mind, I can move forward and complete that project. 🇳🇿
Happpy New Year, Dawn ! Yaaay ! I made another pass through my closet ... and papers ! Papers recycled / trashed or filed. 21 items to donation cntr ! All but one : clothes & shoes! I feel lighter ! And I’m doing more ! Also did that post holiday box declutter that you mentioned recently. So good ! xoxo
My new habit is step by step following your new book. Great format and details. Thanks, Dawn ( and Tom) 😊
I am so excited with you!!! I just packed my first container for my move in February, to my tiny home.i will be using your book to while packing. This move will bring me to the pure basics. .
Thank you, great tips!!! I will be definitely be taking before & after photos 📸
Thank you Dawn!!! Xxx
You always make me feel reinvigorated, Dawn! What excited motivation I already had this afternoon has been maximized 🤩
Thank you for another reminder to read Atomic Habits, I saw it on another person's channel recently, too, and I think it's time I check out the audio book from the library!
I rented a dumpster but AFTER i did these small sessions and making a pile in my yard of stuff that will go in the dumpster. I did add stuff while the dumpster was there that I saw differently on the second look. I also took big loads of trash out for weeks before getting the dumpster. The hardest thing I got rid of was baby furniture. BUT i started with kitchen and bathroom stuff! Those rooms made me see the value of space and less mental pingpong enough to let go of the baby furniture!
Many thanks for another great video. The four approaches are great--easy to remember and easy to understand. It is good for maintaining a mostly de-cluttered home.
I am having a hard time minimizing stuff. My husband passed away 2 weeks after Christmas after a 22 month battle with brain cancer. He had been in a care facility since June and me intention was to deciliter my apartment then..NOT getting rid of his stuff…just organizing my stuff ff but visiting him and taking care of my own health has prevented me from doing it. Now I am just overwhelmed by the stuff he left behind( he kinda was a mini hoarder). I know who I wanna give some of his stuff to because he and I talked about some of his stuff. But it is just sooo hard. Sorry for babbling..
I just found your channel this weekend and I LOVE IT!!
Thank you for the reminders. I was at conference this past week. I kept reminding myself not pick anything up I didn’t really need or want! I came home with ink pens that I will use and hand sanitizer that is almost gone. Thank you for the tips! Happy 2022.
Very insightful and inspiring! Thank you so much!!!
