When my mother died, she had a large stack of craft magazines. I donated them to the senior center along with many of the craft items she had. They really appreciated it. Another place you can give this type of things is a nursing home.
In certain cases, I have things preorganized, like the sink-one, I have a box there, with my dishesrack on top. I barely have cleaningproducts (ever since I watched Aurikatarina on RUclips, I know that dishsoap and vinegar are enough for most of the dirt.) And I have a seperate pile/box for my ugly, torn undies, that will serve for special lady purposes once a month until the pads have ripped the fabric up too much and then we say our goodbyes. Also, I have candles without scent, I do recommend to have a pack, for emergencies.
Another way I work a few minutes of decluttering into a normal day. Look in your drawer and swear to yourself that you are going to wear an item in there like a p[air of jeans you haven't put on in a few years. The rule is if you change out of it at any point during that day, you must get rid of it. I ran through like 5 pairs of jeans and 4 bras in one day and found that every single pair of jeans was too small and uncomfortable and every bra was old and saggy and I was forced to come to grips with the fact that I hated wearing any of it and I did this without devoting a ton of time. Both items are bulky items, so it cleared alot of space out fast.
The hardest thing for me to declutter is old birthday, etc cards and pictures my grandchildren have colored for me. I did declutter my kids’ pictures when they grew up 😮. But my grandchildren are still young ❤
YES - SAME about the cards!!! I have started picking the best of the best cards and storing them in a shoebox. And then for the pictures I have been taking photos and recycling the pictures :)
I keep special cards etc in archival page protectors in a lever arch file/ring binder. Sometimes I put some card in the page protector to make it more sturdy. I know that most people throw cards etc away but I can’t do that. These things are really special to me. With my niece & nephew’s drawings etc I’ve also saved these in page protectors & if they are too big to fit in them I’ve had them photocopied.
You just gave me the idea to put some of them in a binder. My 2 year old granddaughter loves looking through the little photo album of herself that was a present to us. I bet she’ll love a book of her art work when she’s older.
Awesome advice and ideas! I also appreciate the effort you put in editing your videos and adding illustration shots for every tip, it’s so much more nicer to watch that way👍
Great video ~ you're keeping us on our toes! Later today I've scheduled decluttering the top compartment of my wardrobe (completely lost track of what's in there!) as so often stuff springs out when I open the wardrobe doors. I shall be hauling the whole lot out onto the bed to sort through :)
I am guilty of a cluttered nightstand- I bought really nice colored tissue boxes, cut off the tops & put everything in it and place it in the drawer for the night- I try my best lol -ty you Taryn
Thank you for the great ideas. I was inspired to start right after I watched this. My coffee table is my hot spot to pile things on. Ugh. I like your videos because you give examples and you have a way of keeping me interested. Once again I felt like, it’s over already. Looking forward to your next video. 😊
Haha my partner and adult daughter have ADHD and they're visual organizers (because out of sight, out of mind) and I just realized as you were talking about the kitchen table that they each have their stuff on one half of the table minus a little eating space. I don't even eat at the table anymore and just let them have at it. Then again, I'm on a different sleeping and eating schedule than they are and I prefer to eat at my computer desk while watching great videos like this so it doesn't really matter.
Apologies if this is later in the video, but a big bang for your buck is going into your phone settings > general > storage > photos and scrolling down to the stuff that takes up the most space. I think it's under "personal videos" but you can actually find the biggest files to review and delete and as you go, the list repopulates with the next largest files. Another great area to declutter is all the files in your texts - its kind of a hidden storage suck - someone sends a gif or video or animated emoji and you can go into storage > texts and scroll down to find the biggest files. And that's if you don't want to just delete all texts outright. I refuse to pay a subscription for the cloud and I think to myself "I took these photos and saved these screenshots, so it should bring me joy to look through them again" rather than feel like a chore lol, so its a good opportunity to declutter.
I have been known to travel internationally with clothes I never really cared for (color wise, fit wise, fabric, didn’t suit my “style”) and after getting to my destination I will leave the airplane outfit. I keep underwear and socks I’m not fond of (same reasonings) and ditch them along the way. That’s my “hack.” 😅
My makeup BAG??? You mean makeup DRAWERS! I have a problem getting rid of rarely used makeup. Or used once! Terrible. Maybe I’ll get rid of one per week and it won’t bother me as much. 🙄
I hear you! It's so hard sometimes too because makeup can be so expensive. I give mine to my mom and sisters if they want anything that doesn't work for me :)

Thank you so much for sharing!
I like watching decluttering videos, while my house is all cluttered up
Great tips!! I just declutered my pajama drawer….shocked at how many I had & never wore!!🥰
Yes! I decluttered mine recently too - they get buried in the bottom and you end up forgetting about them! ☺
Good quickies to do as you go about your day.
Totally!
HEY kislux !! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day
Thank you so much!! 😊

You're so welcome!

Take pictures of them with your phone, and then you can throw them out!
I like these ideas!!

Oh that makes me so happy - thank you!!
Awesome advice! I have a hard time with a build-up of emails. Now that I have a new computer, I'm getting better about it.
Thank you so much, wishing you luck with the emails (it's so hard with all the junk emails!)
I enjoyed this video. 😊❤
I'm so glad! ❤

Thank you Jenny! The kitchen table is a hot spot for us too!

Thank you, I can’t believe how much junk I found in that hidden storage. I also refuse to pay for extra storage.
❤❤❤
ty Taryn I so so much junk jewelry and they are in knots, tangled. Going to trash them

That's a fantastic idea for items like makeup if you have an attachment to it and it's a difficult/overwhelming category for you to declutter.
Ohhhh my I have over 10,000 photos & videos to go through. 😖
Photos are so easy to go overboard on!
I just froze your video after 3 minutes and threw out old makeup left in a drawer ty Taryn
Love it, you are so welcome!
I put a sticker in my mailbox that says only addressed mail. Voila-no more junk flyers
I need to try this!
