My 3.5 year old daughter always asks me to stop and watch your videos when I'm scrolling. I asked her why she likes your videos..."Because she's beautiful!" Your light shines bright 😁
Diane, the hole in the spoon is to measure dry pasta. The amount of dry pasta that fits in the hole in the spoon is equal to one serving. Also, the hole makes it easier to stir without splashing!
Declutterring in Massachusetts! Everyday I go through some drawer or closet, etc. it’s amazing what we can live without. Thank you for your encouragement.
I found a big box of baby girl’s clothes in my attic today. My youngest is 28 now, so these are vintage! I’ve thrown out all the ones with serious stains, and will wash the rest tomorrow. Everything that looks looks ok will be offered to anyone who needs them. I threw out 3 dying plants, too. I also got rid of lots of pieces of cardboard I was saving for making journals, but I’m not doing that at the moment. I’m very pleased with myself today!
My vote for the wooden spoon hole is to measure spaghetti. Fly Lady system is such a godsend. Have been using it for several years now. I’m just recovering from Covid. Wasn’t able to do anything for two weeks but now just doing 15 mins a day. It’s amazing how much I have got done. The house wasn’t too bad as it was in great order before I got sick thanks to the Fly Lady system.
I'm amazed at how much I'm decluttering in 10 minutes, while cleaning. Last week, for example, I was looking for a book while doing laundry, and ended up donating 10 books to the "little free library" in my park. I don't have a swap group but a friend from my weekly group was so happy when I gave her a pretty scarf I never wear. One of the reasons I turned to your channel is some of the other channels I watch are encouraging their viewers to throw away massive amounts of usable items and it just seems so wasteful. I really like how you "pass on" items you no longer want or need to people who can use them instead of showing us pictures of black trash bags.
Thank you! We love to recycle here! ♻️ I also think it really helps - when we force ourselves to decutter responsibly - to stop the "junk" from coming back into our home. We buy less and we buy better. Or exchange at our Swaps 😃
@@DianeinDenmark Thanks so much for providing a place where people who LOVE to recycle, donate and creatively repurpose our items can gather while we declutter. From the comments I've read on the other channel, I am not the only one demotivated by people throwing out bags of usable items.
Thank you. My daughter is doing a swap with young professionals. That way a clothing mistake could be someone's joy. The rest donate. I like the idea of getting rid of one item a day. I did this 2 years ago for 6 months. I need to do it again.
Closet. I don't have a ton of clothes especially compared to many women but I started a new job last year and my clothing has increased but I have lost 50 lbs. So today I am going through my clothes and doing Project 333.
Recently, I had lunch at a Tea Room, here in the States. As I looked around, I realized my antique amethyst dishes would look nice there. I asked the owner if she would like them. I’ve been slowly downsizing them. But also, I wouldn’t want her to take them if she didn’t want them. She seems pleased to get them and they are just the place. So, I will be boxing up the remainder of my collection. I’m excited. It no longer fit with my lifestyle and my children definitely did not want this collection.
You accomplished so much! I love your reminder to pass along items we no longer use to those who will use and appreciate them. It’s a win-win situation when we think that way! 😊
I am a quilter and it is hard to declutter as I see potential in everything. However I have found success with bundling fabrics with a book or pattern and offering it as a door prize at our guild meetings or quilt retreats. I am making up 10 bags of extra goodies I am not going to use and offering them for our guild’s Christmas party as raffle prizes. Watching others be so happy getting my unused items (fabric, books, magazines, notions) makes me happy. And it also lets me let go of the guilt of over buying and then I can focus on using what I truly love.
I recently decluttered then heels I wore to my wedding several years ago. I figured better to give them away now while they are still somewhat stylish and usable! Our library was collecting donations for a book sale so I gave some away there too.
We've had some very warm days in southern UK and I've made the most of it by washing all the mattress protectors and drying them in the sunshine and also staining my dads memorial bench to give it some winter protection. 😊
Woo hoo! I was very inspired by the Get Organized Summit, too. I have a lot of stuff going out of the house this week - clothes, home decor, jewelry, old cross stitch projects and even some things from the garage that my husband agreed to declutter. The stuff from the garage is surprising because he likes to hold on to everything. I got rid of a lot of old makeup and skincare and I'm also still going through papers (I swear this project will never end) and I'm making progress there, too. 🙂Have a great week, Diane.
Decluttered two toys that the kids don't want any more. Still got a little bit more to declutter and let go of but we've almost gotten to a vary maintainable easy to manage home environment nowadays which is fantastic. If you keep the one in one out rule going you definitely end up having a very simple and easy homelife to manage, especially for a larger family! 🥳💪😎👍
Good Evening, Diane! It's 🍂🍁 here and the temps dropped from 80s F to the 40s F overnight. The leaves are changing colors and it's just lovely. The wooden spoon is for measuring a serving size of spaghetti. I attended the summit too and did some more decluttering, OH it feels great. I decluttered, old make up, more clothes, shoes, greeting cards, kitchen items, furniture (night stands).
Been awhile I've been on this channel. Lots changes in my life. I love everything about Diane. Always there for motivation and inspiration and realistic 😊
Hi, Diane! I continue to be amazed that you still find things to declutter! Rah Rah Rah! We moved 4 months ago and I feel I have decluttered my possessions really well, but have not touched hubby's. That is how it must be, right? But if you still find things, perhaps I should take another look at my stuff. Thanks always for the inspiration!
We finally have a rainy day, so I have a quiet day to be indoors! I might do some cleaning in the lower level - my sewing room and the TV room need it!
Happy Thanksgiving from us here in Canada! 🍁🏔️🦃 We had a very hygge evening with family as we shared a delicious meal together. As we sat around the table, we took turns sharing what we’re grateful for. My dad beat cancer this year, so we certainly had reason to celebrate! Thank you Diane for the time you put into making these videos. They are so helpful and appreciated!
I had a cancer scare this year - looks like I might have beat it too so I know how happy you are to celebrate your dad's good health! Happy Thanksgiving from South Carolina!
I am mainly cleaning my bathroom today, and have I guess decluttered a couple of things (I have decided to pass on a solid moisturizing cream bar that I tried out. It was really creamy and easy to use when I was on vacation and it stayed in the car which was hot for half a day or so… Otherwise at room temperature and with my rather chilly hands, it’s too hard to enjoy, for me. Good to know!), and have consolidated and re-organized while cleaning … Also, lots of dust and cat hair and kitty litter 😂 (think under and behind the washing machine and in the radiator…!)
Here in South Carolina the weather is changing from late summer to fall, I've been working on decluttering my wardrobe. It's suppose to rain here all day tomorrow so that will be a good day for more inside decluttering. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanksgiving Day here in🍁 🦃 Canada 🇨🇦! Thankful for many things including Diane in Denmark and the Flylady system!! I’m still unpacking boxes from my move earlier this year so I am decluttering daily!! Beautiful weather nights at -2 days up to 11 degrees. Thank you so much for the ongoing encouragement!
Hi and Thanks for another encouraging video!💟 But don’t throw the wooden spoon, it’s a Very useful tool, it’s used for slowly stir a sauce for example, it’s kind to the pan, reaches all the surface and and helps avoiding burning food when it boils and perhaps involves milk or cream. If You would have got more of them, it’s useful for mixing No-kneed bread or stirring meatballs, because it’s a combination off a scraper, whisk and a wooden spoon in One. There are small differences of the designs, length and so on, some are longer or have enough roundness at one edge to suit a frying pan perfectly, flat for scraping an at the same time the important whole in different sizes so You can sir without splashing liquid food and mixing at the same time. Diane, that tool is absolutely one of my favorite and useful gadgets in the kitchen almost every day and it’s absolutely Not for eggs. At last👌🏻👍🏻🌺 a eulogy to You once again for Your fresh outfits, hair and attitude which keeps lifting those who gets the opportunity to look at Your film-clips. Greetings from the sunny eastern coast of Sweden today. M.K ☀️🌻🦋
Started decluttering my kitchen pantry and fridge. A side effect of a shiny sink is an easier time to cook up food (which is a strong health and financial goal). Finding things going bad has me working on getting them prepped and organized. Also, have to work on some spurts of cleaning/decluttering to find a key to unlock the trunk where I put all my winter gear when I moved... the first freeze happened last night. LOL
I used to have those baskets from the FlyLady, but let my sister-in-law borrow them years ago and never got them back. I tried to buy them again, but they were not in the shop, so I use boxes and trash bags.
Woohoo! you did fantastic decluttering 🥳👏🏻💕Feeling a bit heavy hearted today with very low energy - the news is just sad so just taking it slow. Managed to clean out the fridge 🥳
I’ve been working on the huge project of decluttering ,or more properly, really getting rid of, my entire wardrobe. I’ve gone from a size 16 to a size 6 over the years, haven’t gained an ounce back for years, and just can’t wear any of it now. I’ve been hanging on to everything for years longer than I should have already. It’s so difficult to part with things I love so much, even though I know many look outdated now or aren’t good quality, anyway. I kept a few blazers, hoping they will pass for the, now outgoing, oversized trend. Some simple skirts I was able to size down, but I had to completely remake them, essentially cutting them in half. More structured items like shirts, trousers, blazers and coats just can’t be sized down that much, the cost would be more than buying new (tailoring is extremely expensive, like most things, where I live, a very rich area. It was $50 for my last hemming job). Thank goodness I can still use my shoes, socks and accessories. I’m so very grateful that for the first time in my life, I can afford a replacement wardrobe. Thank you, God ✝and most of my life I could afford very little. Do you have any advice on letting go of the things one knows she can’t wear anymore? I think it’s my nearly lifelong history of real material scarcity that makes it so hard (I had to get by with one pair each of jeans shoes and three tees, with no sweater, jacket or coat as a teen, for example), than you, dear Diane.🙂
I miss your 15 min videos! Watching your older one repeatedly. Decluttering & house mgmt continue to be an ongoing project in my life. Thank you for the motivation & tips.
I always thought that the hole in the wooden spatula was to measure portions of spaggetti . I may have used it for that a few times. Thanks again for your uplifting videos ☺️
I’m finally back on track, did my first swish and swipe in sometime yesterday in the master bath, doing the guest bath today. Then I need to organize the mail, it’s piling up. Thank you for inspiring me, love today’s outfit and D necklace!
I also “decluttered” my garden as it was going to be the first frost. I had to figure out what to make with jalapeños and beets. I made three different things using the quick canning technique just using ingredients I already had. I felt very good about it as I didn’t procrastinate and waste the veggies.
Hi Diane I decluttered my medication box. 3 severely expired sunscreens!, cough and cold medication out of date by 18 mos. , also went through cleaning supplies. I seem to have this aversion to finishing a container before opening the new one. Also tidied cleaning cloths etc. Thanks for the inspiration.
I am enjoying seeing you taking things from each room-- just a bit at a time. I like how you yhink thru things, things i may keep arent most important. Ive gotten rid of crystal as I never had occasion to use them...
Lovely to see you Diane! It’s still very hot here in Arizona, around 100 degrees Fahrenheit today. Doesn’t feel much like Autumn. I’m staying inside with AC and helping my youngest daughter declutter her bedroom.
Hej there! I really enjoy your decluttering series. It helps me to stay on track! Something else: I was wondering if there will be a hygge christmas series this year. Last years series was a huge support! I have never been so relaxed during december in years! Thank you for your work!
Hi Steph! 👏🏼😃Are you subscribed to my videos, I posted some exciting news about Christmas a few weeks back... ruclips.net/video/rTsK1Hn7dUQ/видео.htmlsi=nVdoP-zw3INK3wSt
Oh No! I feel a little embaressed right now. I did see that video, got all excited about the get organised summit, paused the video to get my ticket and never came back to the video 🙈
Enjoyed the Declutter and the going from Zone to Zone on this one. As I strengthen my Decluttering Muscles…I find more items I am excited to pass along or get rid of that I wasn’t in the pass through before 🎉🎉
Inspirational video as always, decluttered some pins , 2 receipes I will never cook, paper scraps , books that haven’t seen the light of day for years and a tea set 😊
This was so helpful and I love how you have the swap group for many of these things to be valued and have a new life with others. I am decluttering by actually doing some projects I have been collecting for that are cluttering up our home. The feeling of satisfaction when complete is wonderful when actually completed and out in the garden. I am using treasured broken plates to mosaic large planters to go outside. I have also been decluttering recent school study guides. My next thing will be to clear the spot to put donation boxes (to go each trip out in the car) and cover with a sheet to stop dust going in by the front door as I have no garage or shed.
It is amazing that after years of my decluttering, I am still finding more stuff to get rid of because of your videos. I liked this zone by zone approach as a change from your day to day approach. Going out: an unopened very old $.39 package of a fountain pen with dried out ink for labeling clothes, unopened electrical adapters, a thick heavy dictionary I no longer use, and more.
Hi, Diane, wow, what a storm through the zones💨, I needed that! The hole in wooden spoons is from old times: if you read the old recipe for Sunday cake of my grandmother: you had to stir the dough a FULL HOUR and stirring was easier, if the spoon had a hole. Times before Krups handmixer: I have one and need your bowl, the original one is long gone and the new one isn’t new anymore, I don’t want to eat small plastic pieces… so on my kitchen list I added: new bowl. I should have looked after a MARGARETE in Denmark😁… You’re so good in decluttering, you should have a master degree for it! Ok, off of my bahookie, I’ve a mission… Enjoy your time in Edinburgh, haven’t you just been there? Love, Monika❣
Yesterday... I was doing so well... started on a couple of things from the wardrobe...thought I would do a few repairs before passing stuff on . got distracted by my sewing machine and started doing a bit of patchwork . Overnight felt really poorly... now covid has stopped play..... not a happy bunny.....😷😷🤧🤒
Great inspiration. Fall is here in Indiana. I've just been hitting each room and if I find something I'm not using into the donation/trash it goes. Decluttering in Zone 2, Extra silverware, citrus zester, citrus cutter, old dishtowels (will be making rags) .
My 3.5 year old daughter always asks me to stop and watch your videos when I'm scrolling. I asked her why she likes your videos..."Because she's beautiful!" Your light shines bright 😁
Diane, the hole in the spoon is to measure dry pasta. The amount of dry pasta that fits in the hole in the spoon is equal to one serving.
Also, the hole makes it easier to stir without splashing!
Yes, for measuring spaghetti is what I was thinking. Never used one, but I’ve seen something like that.
Not sure if that’s one serving or two but yes for spaghetti!
Declutterring in Massachusetts! Everyday I go through some drawer or closet, etc. it’s amazing what we can live without. Thank you for your encouragement.
Hole in wooden mixer is for measuring spagetti 😊
Okay, it's YOUR turn! What can YOU declutter today? Let me know in the comments, I will be cheering you on with a rah, rah, rah! 😄😄
I found a big box of baby girl’s clothes in my attic today. My youngest is 28 now, so these are vintage! I’ve thrown out all the ones with serious stains, and will wash the rest tomorrow. Everything that looks looks ok will be offered to anyone who needs them. I threw out 3 dying plants, too. I also got rid of lots of pieces of cardboard I was saving for making journals, but I’m not doing that at the moment. I’m very pleased with myself today!
Inspiring! 🎉
Just finished shredding and recycling all the paperwork from a court case four years ago - feels good for it to be gone. 😊
I decluttered 4 old pairs of shoes, 2 old sports/travel bags and 2 old foldable soft storage boxes. Thanks Diane again for the inspiration.
My vote for the wooden spoon hole is to measure spaghetti. Fly Lady system is such a godsend. Have been using it for several years now. I’m just recovering from Covid.

Great idea that your daughter is doing a clothing swap for professionals!
I decluttered a bunch of weeds from my garden.

Your videos inspire me to keep decluttering and cleaning. I live in the tropics so it is hot every day
I have decluttered coffee mugs before, but they tend to accumulate again as people gift them to me, so I’m going to go through those again today!☕️
Not motivated to do decluttering today, but the video kept me doing my afternoon routine so still a win 😊.
Watching while you are traveling for your swimming. Thanks for the support!
Great advice from our lovely cheerleader
I am a quilter and it is hard to declutter as I see potential in everything.

It’s a drizzly cosy day in 🇨🇦. I needed some decluttering inspiration- thank you Diane!

Great video Diane, you have inspired me to put an old bedraggled houseplant out of its misery!
Woo hoo, go you! 🪴🪴
Woo hoo! I was very inspired by the Get Organized Summit, too.

Just cleaned out my drawers while listening , you are great company xx
Rah! Rah! Rah! Great video, as usual, Diane!
Decluttered two toys that the kids don't want any more.

I use old sweaters on my Swifer to dust my floors. I do a load of rags every two weeks and use over and over.
Love your shirt/sweater. Thanks for inspiring me to do more decluttering before some trips and the holidays.
Thanks, Charlene!
❤enjoyed this so much cooking sausage and stuffing bacon rolls for dinner for the family and listening along from Northern Ireland 🎉
We finally have a rainy day, so I have a quiet day to be indoors! I might do some cleaning in the lower level - my sewing room and the TV room need it!

I had a cancer scare this year - looks like I might have beat it too so I know how happy you are to celebrate your dad's good health! Happy Thanksgiving from South Carolina!
I paused my decluttering habit post surgery this summer but I’m getting back into it! Thanks for the motivation! 🏃♀️
Hope you are back on the mend, Melm!
You still amaze me with your decluttering, Diane!❤
Dull, rainy and cold here in Texas today but I have my candles going and I’m making my own sunshine ☀️💖
Rah, rah, rah! I just returned from a trip and am ready to continue my decluttering journey. Thank you for the inspiration!🦋🦋🦋
Great video, Diane! I usually find something to declutter in the zone I’m in. It never ceases to amaze me that there’s always something! 😍
Finally raining here in the South East of England after a long hot Indian summer. Needed your inspiration today Diane so now to get off my bahuki!

I seem to have this aversion to finishing a container before opening the new one. Also tidied cleaning cloths etc. Thanks for the inspiration.
We've managed to declutter some of our pantry items earlier today, due to family not liking certain items. They've gone to the food bank.
Thanks for the video Diane! Still love your wonderful cheerful attitude!
I so enjoy decluttering! And so does my family (other than my hubby - but most of his stuff stays in his office/man den)😊
Go you Diane🎉🎉🎉 hanging baskets & nail varnish are going out today…thanks for always giving us the encouragement to carry on 👍🏻💪🏻❤️
I am enjoying seeing you taking things from each room-- just a bit at a time. I like how you yhink thru things, things i may keep arent most important. Ive gotten rid of crystal as I never had occasion to use them...
Fall here in southern US. Yea! Very hot and humid summers, all the way through September 🧦🍁🍂🎃🍲☕❤️
You were my self care while I painted my nails tonight! 🥰💅
I just took another trunkload of decluttered items to the thrift store this week 🎉🎉
Thank you for the inspiration! I want to declutter some homeschool supplies my kids don't use and some old toys before Christmas gifts arrive!
Great motivation video - It helped me start some decluttering today and feels great! Thanks Diane
Is it a spaghetti measure? The hole in the spoon?
I do LOVE a decluttering video!!!! Great job Diane ❤
☀️ 🌧️ ☁️ ☀️ 🌈 🌧️ just a typical spring day in Auckland 😅
Love these decluttering videos
Lovely to see you Diane! It’s still very hot here in Arizona, around 100 degrees Fahrenheit today. Doesn’t feel much like Autumn. I’m staying inside with AC and helping my youngest daughter declutter her bedroom.
Thank you for reminder to pass along yarn etc.
Hej there!
I really enjoy your decluttering series. It helps me to stay on track!
Something else:
I was wondering if there will be a hygge christmas series this year. Last years series was a huge support! I have never been so relaxed during december in years!
Thank you for your work!
Hi Steph! 👏🏼😃Are you subscribed to my videos, I posted some exciting news about Christmas a few weeks back... ruclips.net/video/rTsK1Hn7dUQ/видео.htmlsi=nVdoP-zw3INK3wSt
I am! But I didn‘t get a notification!
I‘m so excited and off to Watch the Video! ☺️
Oh No! I feel a little embaressed right now. I did see that video, got all excited about the get organised summit, paused the video to get my ticket and never came back to the video 🙈
Hello from a rare and chilly day (56°F, 13°C) in South Texas!
Enjoyed the Declutter and the going from Zone to Zone on this one. As I strengthen my Decluttering Muscles…I find more items I am excited to pass along or get rid of that I wasn’t in the pass through before 🎉🎉
Hello from Texas! Hope you have a good week.🌹
Decluttering my pantry. Necessary to do during season changes. Did my floors and dusting today as well as gardening.
Inspirational video as always, decluttered some pins , 2 receipes I will never cook, paper scraps , books that haven’t seen the light of day for years and a tea set 😊
This was so helpful and I love how you have the swap group for many of these things to be valued and have a new life with others. I am decluttering by actually doing some projects I have been collecting for that are cluttering up our home. The feeling of satisfaction when complete is wonderful when actually completed and out in the garden. I am using treasured broken plates to mosaic large planters to go outside. I have also been decluttering recent school study guides. My next thing will be to clear the spot to put donation boxes (to go each trip out in the car) and cover with a sheet to stop dust going in by the front door as I have no garage or shed.
It is amazing that after years of my decluttering, I am still finding more stuff to get rid of because of your videos. I liked this zone by zone approach as a change from your day to day approach. Going out: an unopened very old $.39 package of a fountain pen with dried out ink for labeling clothes, unopened electrical adapters, a thick heavy dictionary I no longer use, and more.
You always inspire me 😊
Hi, Diane, wow, what a storm through the zones💨, I needed that! The hole in wooden spoons is from old times: if you read the old recipe for Sunday cake of my grandmother: you had to stir the dough a FULL HOUR and stirring was easier, if the spoon had a hole. Times before Krups handmixer: I have one and need your bowl, the original one is long gone and the new one isn’t new anymore, I don’t want to eat small plastic pieces… so on my kitchen list I added: new bowl. I should have looked after a MARGARETE in Denmark😁… You’re so good in decluttering, you should have a master degree for it! Ok, off of my bahookie, I’ve a mission… Enjoy your time in Edinburgh, haven’t you just been there? Love, Monika❣
I always find you so encouraging!!
I am getting there Diane, you would be proud! 🎉❤
Love the inspiration Diane! 🎉
Yesterday... I was doing so well... started on a couple of things from the wardrobe...thought I would do a few repairs before passing stuff on . got distracted by my sewing machine and started doing a bit of patchwork . Overnight felt really poorly... now covid has stopped play..... not a happy bunny.....😷😷🤧🤒
We have got 3 days of Summer back again. Rare in October.Greetings from Ireland.❤
Great inspiration. Fall is here in Indiana. I've just been hitting each room and if I find something I'm not using into the donation/trash it goes. Decluttering in Zone 2, Extra silverware, citrus zester, citrus cutter, old dishtowels (will be making rags) .
I'm thinking of you and your mum. Love from Maine ❤
Hello! I am currently trying to get a Danish style swap party set up here in West Texas. Thanks for the videos!
Yesterday I decluttered a lot of my sewing yarn!
I was told that the hole is used to measure pasta. That’s all I know about that. A fun look at organization! I’m a new subscriber!
Welcome here, Susan! 👏😃
Very inspiring! Thank you, Diane. 💐 from 🇦🇺
