    Things got better for me when I realized action is more important than motivation. In fact, I found that action leads to motivation, not the other way around. Still have to overcome the huge drag factor of my own laziness though!

      Oh yes i thoroughly sympatheise! I'm probably going to misquote Laura but she said something on the lines of 'don't wait for the magic pill, you are the magic pill'. Such a light bulb moment for me, I've muttered it many a time to myself!!!

    Thank you Laura! Your advice about husband that's not on board with decluttering is the most effective one that I had ever listen to. Usually people says that giving the example leads loved ones on board... well it's not always the case... So thank you again because I was starting to be resentful and now I can have another approach to the situation. Lots of love from Italy

    After watching this I am using today to follow through, have been ok about trash, but moving items to where they belong, moving items out or donations or selling is a sticking point. Not losing motivation just gaining awareness.
    Basically only moving stuff around.
    Update: watched the attached video and am now setting an exit plan.

    Those are great tips. I filled up my wagon to the recycle shop. It was great cause I’ve been decluttering for weeks, but the bags were piling up in the kitchen. I was happy but upset cause I'm nowhere near finished, but not seeing that does make the difference. I even got my mind to think about other things and also trying to declutter things that do spark joy, but I do have too many of and already found a great home that a person is going to enjoy. Thank you. I've watched your series and the pictures I forgot to take in some areas but later started, and it does make a difference!

    Your declutter journal has been the biggest help! I didn’t take before pictures, but seen Bh the daily entries is terrific.
    I love the idea of AFTER pictures! I tossed out years old cake decorations, and now I have empty space in cupboards for taking stuff off the counter. Hmm, I just thought of more!
    Much easier to clean off surfaces when nothing on them. I dusted today. Then went into my hubby’s cluttered bathroom and quickly backed out. Too much work to dust.
    Hubby and I took some boxes and bags out of the kitchen. Felt great.
    Love all your tips. Love your pigtails and incredible tshirts, Laura!!!

      It can definitely take a toll. There's a lot more to it than just getting rid of stuff, so I wanted to take some time to address that. I know it's not always as easy as it sounds! And yes, 30 days. 🙂

    I struggle with the "what if I need this later"
    I have pink and peach tinted shampoo in my drawer from a disaster hair appointment.. I'm going grey so colour is a struggle (tones come out funny, colour correction on a budget can be needed..)
    They were £7 or so a bottle, so I don't want to re-buy but I'm so sick of seeing them sat there!! Similar things keep cropping up along those lines, deliberation for too long at a time.
    Make up has been depressing.. false eyelashes, shimmers.. they don't suit me anymore, trying this stuff on and seeing all my wrinkles and stuff, just depressed me. I feel old! I'm lucky to be here I know.. but it's still got me down.
    I've been at this for two months, I'm wondering if I'm contemplating getting rid of things I may regret, things from lived ones passed.. I don't know, I just feel like I'm mooching rather than doing, running out of steam with it.
    I'm also annoyed I do a room, think it's finished but then find more in that room I don't need - am I doing it wrong the first time!? I just don't know.
    Over it ATM. Wondering where the nearest skip is!

    Hi Laura. I always have the things I want to declutter sitting around somewhere in the house. My husband buys new things all the time and we receive gifts. Decluttering never ends. My daugher and husband are not on board. I'm always tired. Thanks for your advise.

    • @wandarichardson4213
      @wandarichardson4213 4 года назад +3

      Unfortunately, we can not force others to do this as well. Just focus on your items and do the best that you can👍

    • @sandralantau7395
      @sandralantau7395 3 года назад

      If you focus on your own space and your own stuff and reach a place of happiness and peace with your own space/stuff, your family members will gradually come to realise why you declutter. Somewhere down the road (i.e. don't set expectations), they will be positively influenced by you.
      Please try to make taking care of yourself a priority. Being constantly tired makes everything 10 times harder. I think Laura is brilliant to set this as a 5 minute challenge. Only allow yourself to do 5 minutes and then do something you enjoy.
