Printable Questions to ask when Decluttering: cli.re/9DaN2p -- We hope you have a GREAT weekend!!! - Dawn & Tom
Great job Lisa!! So good to see such huge progress!
I watched this video and I made the decision to pay a family friend to clean out my basement with the instructions that I will get a dumpster and he is just going to throw everything out. We get a basement leak once or twice a year and that made me not want to look through things because of mold and mildew and allergies. "Recruit help" and "Don't look at every single thing" was exactly what I needed to hear.
This is slightly off topic but I must tell you this - yesterday I sold on marketplace a bundle of puzzles that my son never uses. At first I felt really guilty because my lovely overgenerous mum bought them for him. The lady who I sold them to said that her kids were so excited to receive them and it made my day. It felt so good to know they will be used and to make other children smile 😊
When I'm by myself, decluttering feels overwhelming and exhausting. When I have a friend sitting next to me, I get rid of half my belongings in 20 minutes. Having another person to just help put yourself in a more objective head place, and also help physically carrying things is a total game changer.
I think people just want company while decluttering. Having runners is also good so the work is not too overwhelming.
Good point. It is thankless, boring and frustrating so it makes sense you don’t want to be alone.
Sometimes you want to tell your stories to someone.
You’re right! It makes it so much easier.
That makes sense!!!! Otherwise you can get on your head and get frustrated and/or potentially bored and get off track.
I used to clean out my closet with one of my best friends and it was the best thing ever. I have moved and I have no close friends. My husband is no help he tells me all my clothes look great which always surprises me.
Tom makes me laugh out loud so much. The two of you make my Friday. My husband said to me the other day, " So glad you made/forced me to watch the Minimal Mom. (The fact that Tom was on the one we watched convinced him to take action) "and then declutter my clothes and sort stuff out... it is so easy to find what I want now". Couldn't believe my ears but I had a smile all over my face and thought... Thank You Minimal Mom and Tom.
Yes, my hubby has said the same thing! I think seeing a man involved made it seem like something he could handle. Sounds strange, but it helped! :-)
It's nice to see a decluttering video where folks actually declutter stuff rather than simply shuffle it around their house!
Yes! Lisa was amazing!
It's so interesting and real to me that someone like this, who is more than ready to get rid of tons of stuff, wants someone there beside her for moral support. I feel like if someone was standing beside me when I get going, I'd have an easier time doing it and getting rid of more than I do by myself.
I feel exactly the same way. It just feels less intimidating to have someone by your side. I guess some moral support. I am more than ready to declutter the majority of my belongings but I’m sure I could do it so much faster with someone cheering me on. I’d ask my husband or son but they probably would tell me to keep everything. They’re actually my biggest problem.😩
So glad to see a declutter by layers. Decluttering the low hanging fruit now, then going back later for the more difficult items like paperwork & photos. That's where te I am right now. Thank you, Lisa & Dawn.
I agree.
Yes. I am a big fan of that method. I am hitting my basement now using that method. Obvious garbage and labeling and catagorizing and then making other sweeps saving things that have more meaning for last.
My husband went on a rage purge just last night. We moved last year and had a 10-ft section of our family room that still has boxes stacked, mainly because of stuff didn't have places to go. I'm the type that gets paralyzed when the project is overwhelming, while he gets switched on. He was on a roll last night! Family room is all cleared out now.
Y'all are phenomenal! I have Marie Kondo, Swedish Death Cleaned, & had no idea I was marrying the "Goat man" in my retirement years. Here I am with a hoarder. Your video's are getting me thru after the lose of my son last October 23rd. My faith & your video's~ God bless!
I'm so sorry to hear this...many, many blessings and much GRACE to you!!!
I'm so very sorry about your son. That's heartbreaking and right before the holidays. Sending much love and peace your way ❤
@@suezannemarie292 thank you~ a friend that lost her son in Afghanistan told me its a "life sentence" and I think that best describes the loss of a child, no matter the age. Paul lived life to the fullest & crammed so much into 33 yrs, 6 months & 5 days. Dawn has helped me with the sentimental box issue and it prepared me for last October 23rd. Every time my son deployed prayer got me thru and now my faith is getting me thru. It's moments, not stuff, that gets us thru. Collect the memories, the moments~
@@TheMinimalMom thank you Amazing Grace gets us thru Paul always played Amazing Grace on the violin at graveside, so a young lady played that for him. And now that is on his marker....Amazing Grace.
My deepest sympathy to you! ❤
Our basement has made MASSIVE strides in the past week and I LOVE IT!
I really needed to hear that it’s OK to just NOT look through ALL the boxes and recycle and donate each thing.
Overwhelm is really a struggle when you have too much and I want to just get rid of stuff. And there have been so many times I just wanted to throw things away and not even look through stuff because I was tired of it hanging over me but, what stopped me was I always felt bad inside that I was being wasteful or not doing it right. Those feelings hold me back from clearing things out so I could be less overwhelmed! ( not knowing it’s called Rage purge, but that’s how you feel inside, you are DONE!)
Thank you for giving me permission, saying it OUT LOUD. I think I really needed that.
Aren’t we more important than stuff? And if getting it out now is the best way for us then, why not? Getting hung up on what people think I ( or we) should do to go forward sometimes can really set me ( us all) back.
That’s not always the way I need to declutter but sometimes it is. And I don’t do it because then I feel guilty and judged.
So I’m going to do it! I’m totally just clearing out so I can have the peace I really want and NEED!
I also struggle with this a lot. I’m trying to embrace the idea that it isn’t serving anything if keeping stuff out of a landfill is turning my home into one!
Tom deserves his own memory box. I’m definitely going to make one for my husband and tell him he only has that much room for things he wants to keep. Up until now our whole home has been his memory box.😫
Agreed on all of this! It would be hard to one in/one out and use the container concept if you are sharing a container with someone. You have different priorities. That's why there are memory bins! Each person needs their own ~ and the limit of a bin, not a whole house... and 3 car garage! 😅
As crazy as it may sound, I love rage purges! I used to call them stress decluttering, because I would get so overwhelmed with everything I had to clean or move from one space to another over and over again, it would cause me stress, but rage purge sounds so much better! 😅 There are times I get so angry at myself for keeping so much junk, that it actually causes rage, so yeah that term is so fitting. 🤣
I know, right ? I totally relate !
There's a word for what I've been doing! Dawn, could you please do a video on best places to donate different stuff? And what can we donate but what should we just throw away. Carpets? Toy furniture? Wood from house construction? It is location specific but if you could give us some broad clues it would be super helpful! Thank you on behalf of so many, in leading us on this journey of cutting out the excess and focusing on living better! I've watched the fantasy self video almost everyday!
When Tom says, "bye bye" it reminds me of my grandpa. 💞 He said it exactly the same way. He was a farmer on southern MN.
Oooooh that is wonderful !!
I purged and organized the office today with the help of a pro organizer. It’s been overwhelming for me for such a long time. My goal was no more moving boxes and no more Rubbermaid bins. We did it! Yay!
Terrific ! You must feel so renewed ! And proud ! Congrats & well done !
Tom is such a good guy to do this -unbelievable!! Especially thinking about how much time he still has to spend getting rid of all the junk!
I think the part about not sorting everything in the best way, is really important. That’s where I and I’m sure a lot of people get stuck. Well this can’t be thrown out it has to be donated! And before long you’re overwhelmed and over tired, and the piles stay as piles and never really get dealt with. Sometimes you just have to jump in and start tossing.
Tom is such a good husband. Always supporting Dawn. My husband always helps and supports me too on every decision.
Tom is a GEM !
Remember that Tom doesn't have to work outside the home other than to do projects Dawn wants done. She has created a RUclips dynasty that pays the bills for a family of six with her assistant/husband Tom.
Even though I prefer to declutter alone..this was a great example of having help! 🌞
I am sitting on my son's floor looking at a pile of stuff that I have been putting off and not motivated! Perfect timing to pop up on my feed!!!!! 🙏
Awww! I love you guys!
Tom chimes in to help get the "words" out!
LoL. Tom definitely needs to have his own memory bin he is in charge of. 😂
You two make me laugh so much. ❤️
Tom loves Dawn so much! It’s so wonderful to see and encourages me! Thank you for a sharing with us!
This was awesome to see!!!
If shes only got two categories of "must keep" shes doing great!
My mom used to make us go through clothes and toys twice a year to donate to the childrens hospitals and shelters so it always felt like "making christmas" for others instead of having to grt rid of stuff
I need to rage purge my garage when my husband is not home. One thing I am glad I kept was my kids FP Little People house, farm, and schoolhouse. My grandson loves to play with them. He's at an age where I don't have to worry about him putting the small people in his mouth.
I just wanted to go through the book cabinet. Great job guys.
Hahaha YES ! I am going on 62 years old, my kids are 34 & 40, & my 1st Grandbaby is due in about a month!! I have saved ( & MOVED!) some of their FP little people sets for decades ! ( happily... did not save other toys; only that !) . Been saving for my Grand kids !! Sooooon now, my Grand Daughter will play with them haha! As well as her future siblings down the road ! Yay !! I enjoyed seeing your comment, & had to share !
@@lizzabbott Best wishes on the grand baby! It a love you've never felt before.
That's the kind of sentimental heirlooms I am such a sucker for!
I WISH my spare room looked like the BEFORE! 😰 GREAT JOB decluttering! I already have a trailer for “stuff” - I need to send you and Tom a plane ticket to California!!!
When she comes to your house, she can come to mine too. Progress has been made on my spare room and there's still more to do.
Keep going!
I think it is evident that having a trailer on hand to load up donations would be a big motivator.
I absolutely think it's Important to get things out of your face immediately, at least for me. What's gone is gone and I don't have to move it around anymore. That's why my basement room is stressing me out so much, because I have no space to set things aside and have to put them *back* in that room after I separated "keep" and "get rid of". That's also why I will be renting a car when I have time off after Christmas; to load it with the stuff I'm not going to keep and to drive it away right after.
Thanks for sharing this. When I parted with my china (which I used MAYBE once or twice a year), I saved one cup & saucer for memories’ sake. I was able to gift my china to a friend who has a much larger house, table, family & will actually use it. I checked with each of my own kids first, & none of them wanted it. The fact that none of my kids wanted it hurt a tiny bit, but I had to remind myself that just because it was special to me didn’t mean it was special to them.
Thanks for sharing these videos of other people’s houses! It’s so refreshing to see someone like Lisa who can make it look easy-because it doesn’t *have* to be such a struggle!
On that note, I would also love to see you go through this process with someone who does struggle to declutter. It would really help me to hear their thought processes and hear how you coach them through it.
Thanks for all the awesome tips & content! Keep it up!
So I printed out your printable over a year ago and it hangs on the side of my fridge text to my todo list board and it has helped and inspires me every time I see it! It works! Thanks you Dawn! 😁
8:09 Memory bin colliquy" "Do I have one?" "We have a joint one." "Oh, so the answer is no." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is so encouraging. Wish you had been around 50 years ago when I was a young wife and mother. 💝
I know, right ?
This is the perfect timing for this video because I'm going to tackle the "pile" that I call the garage this weekend. It's been my dumping ground for far too long. I realize now it's just a pile of delayed decision making.
"A pile of delayed decision making"...perfect description!
But look at you, now you have the energy to do it! The garage served its purpose. Good luck!
Oh my gosh that clip at 6:15 😂😂😂. You and Tom are so funny 😂. I love that you left that in ❤. You guys are so great!
Dawn in your last two videos I’ve donated $6 to missions. I’ve committed to $1 every time you or your sister say bandwidth. (You say it a lot!😂❤️)
😂😂👏🏻
@@ericawhitfield9289 I guess it’s the new buzz word. 😂
Nice! A much better version of a drinking game!
Thank you! Very motivational! I was watching your video when I had gone to my wardrobe to remove 2 pairs to jeans for the new ones I had bought ... I ended up decluttering my whole wardrobe and removing 3 bags of clothes for our local op shop and buy nothing group! It’s looking so much better and ready for our Aussie summer! Love your videos and well done Lisa!
"It's fun to reminisce..." inspired me to come up with this quick mantra.... reminisce then remove. I have a pair of jeans I wore in high school, but there is very little chance I will ever fit them.... why do I have them almost 25 years later, because it's fun to reminisce. But now, it's time to remove them. Thank you for helping me get me to this point.
*“Have nothing in your homes that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” - William Morris*
This is the quote I use when decluttering. Love it!
The useful part is why I have so much stuff. I'm working on it, but there are lots of things that are useful, that you just don't *need*.
I have this quote framed in my house💕
My doctor’s name is William Morris so I was confused for a hot second 😂
You two are infectious and so sweet together. I love these videos as much as your other videos. I love the fact that you're helping others and giving of yourselves, not just being the RUclips stars that you are!
I just watched the garage purge and the swing set videos. I laughed with you on the sand box that became a swing set. Tom did a great job!!! The smoking brakes. Good times!! After the fact. You have come a long way with your property!!!! Good job!!!! It was so nice to see how young the children were. So adorable. They sure have grown!!¡
Her kitchen!!! Beautiful! GOALS!
This basement looks so neat and tidy already!! You should see my unfinished, bare concrete floor and walls, pipes and wires everywhere - and still full of stuff that has to go!!!! But we are picking away at it, and have culled a ton already - most just has to be cleaned and/or dusted, packed up properly - then out to the second-hand store. I wish you would show a really really really old basement like mine!!
Fantastic video . . .Lisa's low key rage purge is inspiring. Y'all are doing so great with these home visits.
Yes these home visits have been amazing ! Great people ! These videos are immeasurably helpful !
I love the look on Dawns face when she gets to carry a load of stuff out of the room 😁
Dear Minimal Mom, I enjoy so much your videos that I start decluttering my house. You have a nice family but I must confess that I like your single videos best. It feels more personal, like being just us girls.
Ooo and just spent over an hour tidying the garage and getting rid of more stuff 😁
Interestingly when you are looking at purging by yourself, it seems intimidating, but when you have someone helping, that is realistic and not pushy, it can be almost fun. Find someone like that to help and things will go easy.
Love these videos where you help others declutter! Love the phrase "rage purge" as well lmao
Her middle school sweater looked like it was brand new and would still fit! She must have been tidy and responsible even then!
Yep, I am there with the Tupperware!!! 😂🤣 Such a great declutter!! Thanks for sharing!!
Realizing I am so much like Lisa. My main living area is very simplified. But when you go down to my basement that is where my quarantined things are. It is overwhelming to be down there.
Just good and grab one bin/box/ or fill a bucket with loose stuff. Take it somewhere, sort in keep and goes away. Put the keep stuff either where it belongs or put is somewhere you Will gather sorted stuff before finding where it goes.
Everyday 5 things is better than never doing anything because of the overwhelm.
You can do it!
Same here!
Tom soon lost interest in the memory bin! So relatable, my husband would say "you decide what I want to keep" because he wouldn't want to use energy thinking about it!! 😄
I don't need outside motivation. I'm ready! But the time!!!
This is so inspirational. It was very nice of Lisa to share her journey. I've been making several weekly trips to Goodwill. It feels fantastic to get rid of stuff and it gets easier and easier to let go. Thank you Tom and Dawn you are making such a difference in so many lives. 💖💖😎
I’m going to give Tom and Dawn props for this. They are such great helpers. And escorted the stuff out. Having helpers like this is amazing. This is why I usually have my kids help vs another adult (too many comments from adults).
Great ideas, especially to have a friend to help you even if it’s not for a long time & having a runner’ to load to stuff out of the house!
Wow! I am speechless! Great work! You are such a sweet couple!😁😁
She did a great job. Such an inspiration to start on a difficult spot!
You have a memory box and Tom has a memory shed, haha! Same at my house! 🤣😂🤣
Thanks for sharing Rage Purge. I think I need more rage instead of avoiding starting because I think it will be too hard. I did take out of my garage 7 boxes of papers that I hadn't touched since I moved 10 years ago. I only have two small bags of papers to go through and shred now. I loved how Tom helped you get your words out. Blessings.
Epic, and inspirational! Thank you, Lisa, for letting us sit in virtually throughout the process!
"Where's my [memory] box?" banter between you and Tom was so cute!!
"Is it that big building out there?"
"Don't get me started on your memory box!"
😂
OH WOW!! The ending of the room was beautiful!!
Wow how satisfying
Lisa is a woman after my own heart. I purge like she does. I love the fact that there is no agonizing over every single item. That drives me crazy! And I totally get the Tupperware thing. I LOVE my Tupperware and hate getting rid of it.
YES ! For me, it’s books ! I’m keeping them !! Haha ! At least for now.
When we declutter our storage room and under the stairs closet I hope we can do as good a job letting go as Lisa. Great vodeos..thanks! 😘
Awesome! I usually like to declutter and organize alone, but how fun to have the help and support. Room looks fabulous. 🤗
That was quite satisfying to watch. I liked your point about how it's okay to keep stuff you really want, even if you don't really need it. Once you purge all the stuff you hate or don't care about, there's actually room for the things you love! And you can actually find them, use them, and enjoy them!
Quarantine decluttering is as good as rage decluttering! Locked in my room for 3 days so far, and things are thinning down significantly and getting organized!
Memory Bins are so awesome! I started ours a few months ago, and they make decision making quick and easy! Great job on the stairs Tom!
Wow well done Lisa! Great work with the Minimal Mom Army. ❤️
Perfect timing for this video for me. I have till tonight to make room in my garage so I can put my car in tomorrow. 😆 My procrastination has been out of control for years! I think I’ve reached my limit! It’s halting my progress in other areas of my life. I’m giving myself till Spring of next year to get rid of all the things I don’t need or us. Hopefully I’ll be done sooner. Thanks for the motivation!
Awesome!
Love watching your videos where you put theory into practice with a client! These are so fun.
Never underestimate the power of having someone else there to look at you and say “really?”… so helpful!
I love the Twins and the Vikings stuff! :)
awesome job, hope she goes through that book/cd case on back wall. even just straightening it would help greatly. i tackled this recently myself. ✌🏻🙏🏻🧡🤗
I LOVE watchin a good ole DECLUTTER!!!! 😁😁😁
As someone who has worked in Memory care, the idea that everyone needs a memory bin is so sweet! Something to look back on. Maybe even write on the back who and approximately when the picture was taken.
The timing of this video was so perfect. We started remodeling a future rec room in our house, but my husband works in road construction so the project was put on hold for the summer and it became my catch-all. So today's the day, rage purging so we can pick up where we left off last spring.
Ohh boy! Wish I had help rage 😡 purging!! 😬
Watching this video.... I think one of the things that is MOST appealing to me..... she can glance into a box, then turn and start on the next box. I am thinking for me.... the worst part is actually the letting go? Actually throwing it into the trash, or donate box, etc. Just being able to let someone else do that part would be great, and actually taking it to it's designated spot!
Great job just getting it all out of there! 👏👏👏
Wish we lived closer, we could totally use your help! If you are ever in Colorado I would love your help. I have 5 young kids and I tend to over think things so you can imagine what my house looks like.
Good morning, Thanks y'all for sharing this inspiration with all of us!💛🍂
Memory bin great idea for help while decluttering. I’ve decluttered a ton and getting closer to minimialism but not there yet! I wish I would have thought of this bc some items just deserve to go in there to even be considered later. I sorta used structure on Kon Mari but definitely followed my own instincts as well. she says leave sentimental until last but some of my clothes were sentimental (Ie skirt I wore when I first met my now deceased adopted beagle who was huge huge part of my life) etc could have actually been put in the box to decide last w all sentimental items.. I just didn’t consider clothes as items to put as sentimental but memory bin term would have actually clicked w me for items like this that fit into two categories. Just semantics but really huge difference for me. Love this! So inspiring!
Her area was so clean & organized to begin with!!
This was AWESOME! You guys are so encouraging.
I LOVE this! So inspiring and I love how you guys broke down the process and also had real footage to show what you did on the day.
What I need to know is when you're bringing that trailer to Southern California????? #1 -- pretty sure we'd be friends, #2 -- having the calm yet decisive voice of encouragement from you and the powerful lifting help from Tom would be balm to this military spouse, frequent moving, mom of 4's soul! We're about 1/3 of the way through our decluttering journey thanks to you. We live right on the coast, so tax-deductible beach work/vacation sound good?
Yes ! Dawn & Tom : please take her up on this !
Wow! This is mind blowing!
You guys all did such a fabulous job!
Perfect timing for me! I have an attic full of who knows what and a cellar full of my mom’s things that I am finally ready to part with! I’m encouraged to start my projects tomorrow!
Wow, you all went through A LOT! However, the professional organizer in me SO wanted to get to that book shelf and de-clutter IT, hahaha. ;)
My husband surfs his laptop while I watch my organization videos. When Tom said his "memory bin" was that big building outside, my husband snort laughed! 😆
Great video, very motivational. I have a room that needs to be done. I have been chipping away at stuff I have had for 20+ years. Thanks Dawn & Tom!
AWESOME!
I've been reading a book starting today called Cut the Clutter and Stow the Stuff edited by Lori Baird...is proving to be an "excellent read".
I believe after taking the quiz at the beginning of the book...she is a Concealer/ Tosser combination when it comes to clutter.
I found, out today, that I am the same type of clutter person.
The Concealer organizes the clutter, very well...but, later; does a 'good job of tossing'.
I say, "WELL DONE!"....You knew what you wanted to keep...and, got rid of the rest.
Today, after reading several pages of this book....I was able to go out to my crafting area; and, get rid of quite a few "embossing folders and texture plates"....where before, I was having trouble "letting go".
Great job, ladies!....and, gentlemen!😀
Can you help her declutter the bookcase?
Wow! Great and encouraging!! Diana helping also!!
Thanks for sharing! I am usually a viewer of RUclips videos, never a commenter. However, I just wanted to say that I live vicariously through your videos and the minimal living you promote. I love it and I am always in a rage to purge. I crave to simplify. However, I know that I may never get to be able to live a simple life because my husband is a hoarder that doesn’t think he has a hoarding problem. He picks up all of the things I purge and bring it back inside the house. It doesn’t feel good to declutter when I get punished for doing it, even with my very own things. It’s nice to vicariously live a simplified and minimal life by watching your videos. Thank you!
