THANKS FOR YOUR HELP👏👏👍💕
Great tips… I would always ask my self do I want to pack this item, most times it was a no.
Ugh please any advice on husband stuff… my husband is a just in case kinda guy.
Thanks so much!!! I’m spring cleaning :) And it feel SO GOOD!!!!
@@maribelquesada5651 1. Remember that sometimes he will be right and you will need that seemingly random stuff. 2. Try him out on the container concept.
Love the interviews with people who have had experience with clutter. So interesting and motivating too. Helping other people.. so cool!
Having moved several times, here's my main tip -- pack according to the rooms you are moving TO, not according to the rooms you are moving out of. And LABEL the boxes by the rooms they are going to also, then you or the movers can put them right there. Lastly, don't open any box until you are ready to unpack it all the way and put everything in it where it belongs. If you know this is how you are going to do it, it will change how you pack.
That is super useful as we are upgrading from a studio to a one or two bedroom.
Great advice. This is useful.
My favorite tip for moving is not so much about the decluttering but the packing. Whenever I move I always pack the most important non-negotiable things first (in regards to decor etc not items being used). That way if I have packed my favorites and I already have two or three boxes I know that what is left didn't make the first cuts and can probably be decluttered.
Brilliant!
Yes!!!
super :)
Several months ago I moved from Oregon to Florida. We are just recently moved into our house. Decor and wall art that I loved are not nearly as appealing to me here. Oregon is so grey that I was alway doing whatever I could to brighten up my life. Here in Florida I am already outside on my patio so much and my home is so much brighter that I’m finding my decorating is different. I think I will be parting with a few things that I thought were “non-negotiable” in the past. It is amazing how lightly we can hold onto things once we become accustomed to thinking of it all as just stuff.
@@bananaanna1373 Hi from France :) thank you for your testimony. I feel to move and change of place of living too, I do not have yet an idea of where how.. but I felt the wish to change for more light and colourful region too. I am in the north, quite grey too.. and your testimony resonates and inspires conforts my call ;) (sorry for my mistakes in English :) and happy to read how you seem so happy to enjoying patio and outdoor and how changing space can impulse us a real new cycle way of life, it is comforting as I feel I have to move as all the environnement is no more lovely as it was where I live.. before was green, now it is becoming grey.. so.. but I felt attached to the place so I was long to decide and decluttering helps me to process the detachment :) and feel now ready to look for how where to move next ;) and just having the idea I see your comment ;) thanks ;) and good new house so :)
Liquor stores will give you all the boxes you want. Free. The boxes are sturdy/strong and not so big that they're heavy after you fill them up.
What a great tip.. I wouldn't have asked there. I usually hit the produce section of grocery stores. Thank you.
Yes liquor store boxes are excellent for moving!
Pro tip!
I spent some time visiting an orphanage in Haiti. They didn't have much in the way of personal possessions, but in the playroom there was a big pile of toys that had been donated. The girls played with them sometimes, but they preferred to be outdoors running around. They loved to sing and dance. When indoors, they chose to engage in the crafts and artwork projects I set up for them while the toys were ignored. Children don't NEED the stuff adults think would make them happy.
Heidi Jensen True! It’s like when kids get a Christmas present or birthday present in a HUGE BOX - they’re enthralled with the gift for say, 5 minutes…then all they wanna do is play with the box!! Kids love to use their imagination. 😊
When we moved last summer, we were in a different season of life (retired) and only moved to a different suburb about 15 miles away (to be closer to our 3 adult kids and 2 grandkids). We were lucky in that, in this CRAZY housing marker, we could buy a house we even listed our house. So I did a major declutter to get ready for listing photos. I started EARLY!! Like I'm talking the autumn before with the (unfinished) basement. Over the months, I probably got rid of AT LEAST 50% of what I had in our home. Let's be honest...a lot went in the trash. Then there were the things our kids took. But our local thrift shop took almost everything else. By the time photos were taken, our house looked amazing...like did I really want to move?!! Then, when the actual packing started, I got rid of even MORE. I just can not express the feeling of getting rid of all that 'stuff'...it was wonderful! And you know what?? I haven't missed on single thing I got rid of!
And now, being here 9 months...I'm ready to purge yet again...
Your minimizing muscles are strong, Kay! Keep going if you want to keep going. Hooray.
I thought I was a minimalist until last month when I packed to move to a new house and realized how much stuff I actually had! The kitchen took me all day long to pack!
Save on packing material and use extra towels, sheets, and clothing instead of bubble wrap. Socks are perfect for glassware. It will also push you to unpack faster since you will want the sheets or other things!
We will also use paper towels while packing delicate items. Saves from rewashing the items later. A big plus, the paper towel can be reused for cleaning and such in the new home.
We moved last October from Oregon to Florida. It costs a LOT and I regretted moving as much as I did because it took us a full 5 months to move into our new house. Now I’m glad that we moved so much because of crazy inflation and transport delays. Everyone, please, keep in mind the times that we are in. Lightening our load is wise when we are getting rid of superfluous Knick-knacks but beware when you’re looking at decluttering glass storage for food, like beans and rice. You can put away some clothes for now in sealed up bags and then go shopping in your own clothes in several months. You just might be glad that you did when you need clothes but have a lot less money-power for making those purchases. I am all for decluttering but let’s apply wisdom, knowledge and understanding of the times in which we live.
100% agree!! Which makes it all a bit tougher to make decisions on each item.
Congratulations getting out of Oregon! I am jealous!
You poor thing - Florida?! 😫🥵🌡🌀 (but maybe you are from FL & knew what you were getting into) 🤷🏼♀️
I'm kind of embarrassed to share this tip because I know it wouldn't work for many people but before I move I set a "declutter x amount of things" challenge. I moved a few months ago and got rid of 1,000 things. I just keep a sheet of paper in my main walkway and put tally marks anytime I donated anything or threw it away. It does feel like an extra step to mark it off but for me it's so satisfying to see the progress you're making when it isn't so apparent in the actual home. (Does anyone else have a disastrous house when you're packing)? Plus, I love that extra push to look for things that I can add to my list.
I love this!
Advice from someone who moved 8 months ago :
Be RUTHLESS
Accept any help offered.
For every box you pack that you absolutely have to have, pack one box of donations & fill one trash bag.
Budget enough to have someone come in at the end & pack EVERYTHING you just can’t deal with anymore.
I had to move in a hurry (with 4 kids, from a 14 room 3-story house to a 3-bedroom), because the buyer of my house was on a time crunch, so I "accepted any help offered." Dozens of people from my church came to help us pack up. So sweet! But afterwards, I did unpack boxes that were strange combinations of things. Everything in my recycling bin got packed and moved, for instance.
@@amybee40 lol that must have given you a good laugh.
@@amybee40 , 😂 sounds familiar. Our first move I had a little baby so all our church friends came and packed us up and moved us. I tried to keep track of what went where, but …
@@amybee40 oops.
"Allow for some margin of error!" I needed that. Give yourself grace and realize that it's ok if you make a few mistakes when decluttering!
Just moved cross country a month ago after 36 years in a good-sized house. Since I didn’t want to shop for new furniture during the pandemic, I drew a furniture plan for the new apartment to decide which pieces would fit. When I knew which bookshelves would be shipped, I emptied them out and started refilling them with my just favorite books that I felt were worth their weight. Same idea for my clothes dresser.
I collected used moving boxes on Nextdoor or Freecycle, just I am now finding the next people to take my emptied boxes and wrinkled packing paper. Standard box sizes make it easier for the professionals to fill their truck efficiently.
Start as early as possible. Give away as much as you can. Sell your bulky items at a low price so other people gratefully haul them away. Take just the best, and label the boxes so you find the essentials quickly in your new home.
I just used 1-800-got junk twice in the last 3 months when clearing out my sister in law’s house who had recently died. I highly highly recommend them- like Cambria said they will recycle and donate whenever possible. And the guys were super nice and helpful!
Im so glad for Dawn’s guidance. My parents moved many years ago and moved everything! When we had to clean out their house after mom died and dad moved to assisted living, we rented a BIG dumpster and threw away a basement full of unpacked boxes of random junk! It took 2 full weeks, 12 hour days to clean out that house. They were both raised during the Great Depression so I understand their mindset. Im grateful to know there is a different way!
My parents' basement is the same. Boxes and totes to the ceiling, some of which have been moved several times without investigation of the contents. I was on the road to helping them declutter, and then we all got sidetracked by my dad's declining health... Ground floor done, upstairs is half-way, and who knows when I will look in their basement again.
I have one on you …. My mom has a ton of stuff. Beautiful stuff!! My sister and I are trying to get her to start giving away some to loved ones. Some things can be sold. Her heart is fine but she is in so much pain that she is almost paralyzed from it and has become an invalid for the most part. She won’t let us do anything and she is very literally incapable of doing any of it on her own. I’m concerned that when it is all done that most of if will be handled by somebody we hire.
@@bananaanna1373 If you can afford to hire someone to do that job for you, that's fantastic! Maybe if your mother is made aware of that possibility she might be motivated to declutter now. If not, well, hiring someone to do it is a great option that will lower your stress levels. 😁😁
I have been aiming to make a thrift store donation daily as I prepare to move across the country yet again. My family has noticed that there is less stuff, and it feels so good. Why didn't I do this for myself earlier? I felt so overwhelmed by the stuff. It is absolutely overwhelming still as I look around at all there is to do, but I'm remember Dana K White's words ... I'm aiming to set aside between 15 minutes and half an hour to declutter. Every day, I'm making it 15 minutes better, and it's beginning to show.
I did that, too. When I got serious about decluttering, I'd wake up every day thinking: "What shall I declutter today?". By doing one categort each day, it quickly started to show. Very pleased with myself.
After doing it for awhile, it shows and it is such and accomplishment! It takes daily time.
SO helpful even to those of us who aren’t moving and don’t have small children! Less stuff in a space is always more calming and I find that a second pass through a month or two later, and a third pass through a month or two later more and more stuff goes out the door!
Moving is the BEST way to declutter!!!
We just moved 4 months ago. But I began slowly packing a good couple months early. In the kitchen, I went through each drawer and cupboard leaving out the bare minimum--1 spatula, 1 mixing bowl, 3 of each silverwear, 2 mugs, etc. I did the same with our clothing. I left one week of outfits out for each person. We just washed laundry more often, which was easy and fast because we had so few items! Funnily enough, I got really used to wearing the same things and I didn't mind at all! No decision fatigue when trying to get dressed! I also appreciate the reminder that we do need to revisit spaces we've already decluttered. I forget that extra things can sneak in on us and disrupt that minimal vibe! I love that Dana ordered the set of boxes and let THEM be her container limit! Smart!
Until my last two moves, our boxes had always come from scrounging at the grocery stores or behind the liquor stores. To have only 3-4 types of boxes of uniform size (excepting Wardrobe) was a godsend. No more lining the bottoms of banana boxes. Also bankers boxes were a godsend for books, stackable and not too heavy.
Banana boxes around here don’t come with tops any more! Now I ask on local FB groups for boxes from Hello Fresh or other food prep services.
I have a ton of excellent boxes that i've saved from online shopping. I won't flatten them because bugs & spiders LOVE to hide inbetween there and multiply, but that isn't a problem with intact boxes .. plus it saves time & money having to retape them when needed.
I don't want to trash these perfectly good boxes or dump them into recycling. . . Plus after several moves that were sudden i am very insecure at not having boxes on hand to use when needed. Been down that miserable road of running around to every business & dumpster in town searching for boxes, so i end up either buying boxes (cost $) or saving every box that comes into our house (cost space .. even when flattened).
I would post these good boxes for free online as i would like them to go to someone who can actually USE them, but there's always a lot of other people posting free boxes that nobody wants.
So i've pretty much decided plastic bins of similar sizes will stack nicely until needed (only taking up the floor space of one bin) and i'll use those for my stuff and use up these cardboard boxes for donations.
Our last move in my then pickup truck went fairly well until the last load when i got caught in a sudden torrential rainstorm, ruining most of what was in cardboard boxes so from now on it's going into plastic bins!
No system is perfect, no move is ever perfect, but like ya'll said the less we take with us the better.
At one point in our lives, we anticipated a move. Having experience with moving twice before, I knew I needed to start with the basement. Well, lo and behold we decided to stay. I had an clean basement. If we could just trick our minds for moving mode, the declutter would have more meaning.
I met your channel when I decided to amp myself up in preparation for a move 6 months later (about a year ago actually!) We had had a work move with packers and movers and had so much stuff! When I got estimates done for this upcoming move I was baffled at the cost and we decided to move ourselves. For that to work, we had to move as little as possible! I am a really crappy multitasker so in retrospect I can say my most successful tip was to go through every single room and space of the house (no rush!) being really ruthless in de cluttering, before I even started to think about packing. Over the course of about 2 months that’s what I did, getting into a minimalist mindset. The packing and moving went super smoothly and I feel like we are still keeping up with the good habits. What I first hoped would be a moving hack turned into a life shift that is super beneficial to our entire family. Thanks dawn 🖤
When I moved the last time, I took it as a chance to reset. My husband and I looked at everything to decide if we loved it enough to pay to move it! A majority of the answers were NOPE!! We had lived in our house for 25 years.
I can so relate...
I have moved A LOT in my 57 years on this Earth. One question I always ask when I know I have to move is : Do I love it enough to move it? 95% of the time, the answer is NO. 😊
@@SusanCSmith-ik3jy great tip - and I would add: do I love it ENOUGH to 1) Pack it, 2) move it or pay to move it, 3) Unpack it in the new house?!
I am moving in a month and 5 days! Amazing timing!!! :) :) :) With my Kitchen: I packed all of my pots and pans and cookware in a box and am pulling out pieces when needed to see what I REALLY use.. and putting them back in the cupboard, I still have to cook for over a month. What's left in the box will be donate. like a packing party before I actually move. I think I should do the same with bathroom things and perhaps other categories. Then in a bit less than a month from now just pack what I've actually been using.
these are smartt!! omg thankyouu
I love idea of buying the set of boxes and limiting yourself to that. That’s exactly what I need
We are moving from the Pacific Northwest to Texas. Great tip if you are using a moving company. Meditate on the cost, lol! Great motivation for downsizing. For us, we started downsizing and packing almost a year ago, knowing that it was going to be a BIG job, since we have been in the house almost 30 years. We have been working on it at least once a week. Our move date is August 2022 and now I doing something regarding moving everyday.
Something about the delight on Dawn's face when she found out 1-800-Got-Junk sorts stuff out for you made me so happy. :-)
Literally working on decluttering to move THIS AFTERNOON while baby naps! Perfect timing! 💕
That’s awesome! Good luck!!!
I'll take this as 1 of my signs from God that my daughter and I will be finding our new home! I JUST met with my realtor today and submitted everything to be pre-approved for a mortgage. I have told myself IF we are meant to have our own home, then it will happen in God's timing for the place we are to live. I have been decluttering, donating, trash etc.. and even package boxes for about a year now. I'm getting even more ruthless and going through everything again and want to move as LITTLE as possible. Finding this video before going to bed was just what I needed.
We moved 1400km last summer, from Ontario to New Brunswick. Planning and decluttering started in March, and when it came to packing and unpacking I still couldn't believe how much stuff it felt like we had. But the awesome thing was when it came time to pay the movers we were under the weight the price was quoted on and it saved us almost $500! I still think I could declutter more as we have settled in to our new house.
I close on my new condo Wednesday (after downsizing after my divorce!!) and I’m so excited to throw my stuff away and have a minimal amount of stuff to unpack!
We are planning on moving overseas in July - from Australia back to Minnesota in fact! Dawn, your channel has been an absolute life saver to change my mindset to where I need it to be for this huge move! I started a couple of months ago with the first few layers and our house is so functional and peaceful, which I definitely needed because we are dealing with lots of extra work with visas, passports and planning other aspects of the move. I look forward to actually packing everything and just landing in the US with what we really need, and a clear plan on what we need to replace. Thank you so much for keeping me sane through this process! ❤️❤️ And thank you, cambriea for your great tips!
Fun! I grew up in the Twin Cities and go back at least a couple times a year (Christmas and at least one other time).
We live just 60 mi. west of Mpls. Sending an early “welcome back” to the North Star state! 😊
Cambriea* Proper nouns have capital letters 😁👍
My husband has the same problem with T-shirts! He has 13 work t-shirts, and he wears the same one for a few days, and I do laundry every week, so he really needs half that at most. He also has 13 casual t-shirts, he wears the same one for an hour here or there all week.
I do think buying moving boxes was worth the investment. Of course use sturdy boxes where you can. But the uhaul boxes are built to be put together, broken down, reused, they are stable, they have decent guidelines on weight to put in all of them. When I was done moving, they were in great shape and I gave them away to someone else who was moving. Made the move so much easier than moves in the past.
I discovered your channel and minimalism when we were first preparing to sell our house. We had no idea where we were moving or what kind of home or even RV we would be living in after selling our house. It has changed my Mom life!! Thank you Dawn!!!
Truth. Our boys are well trained that "everything gets donated". I've been in Ministry 27 years.
Loved chatting with you ❤️
So nice to see the two of you together in one video! So exiting for you Cambriea and your family to move to Florida. Good luck 😘
great tips! I have a tip for you from FL.... we do get cold weather. Keep SOME of your winter clothes. It can get down into the 30's for weeks at a time. Granted, even our "harshest" winters are still nothing compared to actual northern winters, or might be considered a mild winter for y'all. I was just surprised how cold it got when I first moved from PA.
Terrific video 😁. We have lived in the same house for 23 years. This winter (Australia) we are going to pretend we are moving too help with the declutter. "Would I pay the movers to move this?" will be our mantra.
Great idea!!
I'm going to do the same!
This is what I have been doing for the last 2 months! Fill the trash can weekly, donate and press on! It is working great because the kids have asked, "Are we really moving?" haha
Dawn, how in the world did you know I'm about to move! This couldn't have come at a better time, thanks!
I miss our military moves. Even as we had kids, it was like it was suddenly easy to see what was trash and what was not worth transporting when it was time to move on. The first 8 years of our marriage it was very easy to remain streamlined. LOL
Two of my favorites!💗💗
Good timing Dawn!!!
This is perfect timing! My husband just took the bigger kids to the new house while the baby naps and i pack up their toys! Toys are the hardest for me to declutter, so it's a little stressful even with a quiet house!
It helps to do it when you have a lot of angry energy. 😉
Just be careful not to get carried away and throw out something of value.
To this day my heart hurts because the one thing i regret from one of my angry-purging of my daughters stuff many years ago was a little wooden gun my young son had whittled for her. She never played with it & to her it had little value but it would mean the world to me to still have it.
All the other plastic manufactured items that were purged aren't missed at all by her or me, but that little wooden gun is irreplaceable.
Perfect timing for me!!! Thank you!
Absolutely luv u both ladies. 💓
yes! such a great video! love all of this! the attachment to kids stuff is so true!
Perfect timing as we are packing and getting ready to move
I decluttered 5 years ago, thought we were moving. We didn't tho. Really helped downsizing! I gathered free plastic totes from people 💙
This video has come just at the right time as I'm packing to move! Some great tips! Thankyou!!
Just what I need right now!
One of the best collaborations I've watched!
Men do have sentimental t-shirts - even if they no longer fit. Have your husband pick out favorites and have a company make a t-shirt quilt out of them. I did this and eliminated 49 shirts! He loves the quilt.
So good to see her on your channel!
I’ve been watching Cambriea for a long time!!
Thanks!!!
Looking beautiful, as always, Cambriea!
Love Cambriea! I watch both of you regularly and get inspiration with every video. Great tips all around.
We’re just getting ready to move!!! Thank you so much Dawn!
Really appreciated this!
Love Cambriea she’s so real x
My neighbor has a huge table in front of her house intended for people to put give aways on. My decluttering is made easy....every time I walk out the door, an item to release comes with me, just like taking keys with me...and gets dropped onto the table. And I have not spent money on clothes in years...recycling removes the feelings of "I can't let go of that since I paid good money for it."
This was exactly what I needed today!
Two of my favorites, The Minimal Mom and Living with Cambria!
Perfect timing! Your last video just got done playing!
Yay! I’ve been watching Cambriea’s channel for awhile now. Cool to see this collab
I'm moving from a house in the suburbs to an apartment in the city. One of the coolest ways to get rid of furniture and stuff was to host a little auction for my friends and family.
Great tips! I'm packing and purging right now! Starting early! 😘
I love CambrieaI watch her all the time.She is so capable and motivating and such a good mother!
So nice to see Cambria here, she is an angel 🥰
Ahhh!!! Yay!!! We are getting ready to list our house for sale in a couple weeks and I have already started packing. I am so excited thank you!!
Oh my gosh! I needed this so much. We are getting ready to move cross states and it is so much to do. We're downsizing and getting rid of so much. Thanks for the ideas and motivation.
Perfect timing! We are moving in a couple weeks.
So lovely to hear you don't want things to go to Landfill, heartens my heart, I have that problem with getting rid of stuff because I just don't want it to go to landfill, I keep it till I can donate it some where suitable.
Dawn and Cambriea! I watch both of you so excited to see you do a video together! ❤️
Good morning Dawn and Cambria!!! Loved seeing you guys together... loved all the tips! God bless you both🌷🌷
That was really enjoyable and informative. I love your channel and I also love Cambriea's. Never thought of "what you can fit in the box goes and what doesn't gets donated", an awesome tip thanks, Dawn.
LOL I’m moving in less than 2 weeks so I pretty much have to do a room a day …. So stressful. Thanks for the tips.
We're not planning on moving any time soon, but my Hubby & I have been talking about going through things in case we do have to move in with his Dad to take care of him. Great motivation to get rid of stuff. Great video!
Moving in 2 weeks 🙋🏼♀️ perfect video timing!
I enjoy watching both of you. Good luck to Cambria and her family in their new endeavors. If you have time it helps to declutter before you move which isn’t always the case. It will really help if you think “must haves” so you don’t pack a lot of things you don’t need and can easily replace.
I can totally relate to this situation. Getting ready for a big move and currently going through boxes that have stayed packed from previous moves. Thanks for the declutter motivation!
Yes! My husband has so many t-shirts!
Love it and I subscribe to both of you ... I moved a year ago from California to Washington state and did the same thing
The tip about buying boxes for the size of your home is super smart!! Spend a little to get great results down the road!! Choosing to declutter while packing will save you so much extra work when you go to set up your new place!! Baby steps with our family members for sure!!!Leading by example is awesome!! Being honest with ourselves is huge!! I love the idea of involving kids in the decluttering process! Helping them to learn this early on!! Thanks so much Cambriea and Dawn!! :)
Yes! Can’t wait! We are looking at moving? Maybe…trying to get prepared!
This was awesome! Especially since I’m moving soon. I’ve been decluttering for months.
Perfecting timing. We will be moving once the kids get out of school too
Yeah, I fell for it, thought you were moving, even though you’ve said you’re in your dream home! Many excellent tips!
Yes!! The tee shirts were the biggest contention we had with my husband’s dresser. He had over 50 of them just in one drawer. He has volunteered for so many things that he always gets tee shirts. I finally Marie Kondo-Ed his drawer and slipped out the ratty old ones and then duplicates. It was a delicate process, but he seems content so far.
Two of my favorite RUclipsrs!!!😍🤩
Thank you, indeed, for this informative and encouraging video!
Planning on hopefully moving in a year or two…start the declutter now!
Love the St. Bernard!! 🥰
Wow !! Was so surprised to see Cambria !!
I loved watching her when she donated her time cleaning peoples houses that had gotten out of order. Thought that was such a generous gift and blessing for those who received it. Hope she does when she comes to Florida, thanks ladies for all the helpful hints.
Hugs Karen 🌴🤟
So cool, two of my fave channels!!!
Cambriea friend I love that you did this collab with dawn. Good moving tips.
Thanks for sharing this conversation. I am not planning to move, but it helps to hear what values people bring to decluttering. These values remind me of the importance of assessing the usefulness of the items in my home. Thanks again!
Cool video! I also watch Cambria so I knew what was happening!! Keep up the great content Dawn!
So helpful!!! Thank you!
Very timely! I just got my lease renewal letter today. The increase is ridiculous ($350 increase) and I am already at a price I can barely afford. I moved 10 years ago and the memory is still vivid. It DOES take much longer to pack than what you would think. I have 3 weeks to declutter. Those 1-800 got junk guys are super expensive. When I told them 'no thanks' they continued to harness me with phone calls.
Great tips! I did this 3 yrs ago and I am still so grateful! I started packing when I started house shopping. When we closed we were so excited because we could casually take things into our new house instead of stressfully trying to pack
I may have just laughed manically at the comment that by the end you are just shoving things in boxes... I was bordering on crazy tears - way too relatable!!
