Saying you “let it go” sounds better than “threw it out”. 😉💞 Great video. 👍🏻
The 3 month no use idea is not applicable in a 4 season climate or for seasonal decorations. You could use a longer timeframe (ie a year) for those
I totally thought the baseball bat story was going to have a different ending. "I kept that bat in the trunk of my car... the car that I decluttered... I didn't look at this bat for years... until one day, in the Wal-Mart parking lot, some guy backs into me, but doesn't apologize... so I go to my trunk... I get the bat..."
Cjon, this was hilarious 😂 - Carleen
You guys are awesome!
There were some really funny moments... "Find a way!" 😆🤣
However, there were also some really incredible tips in there to help with letting go.
6:15 The little cutie eating the red ketchup so close to the white couch was making me quite anxious!
Loved the part with the great-aunt!😂 Seriously, this was the most motivating video I've seen in a while.👌
i think the main reason is PEOPLE THINK THEY MAY NEED THEM SOON
Hahahaha very good video. Fun and useful!
What you said is 💯 percent true. Guilt and sentimental items are the most hardest things to declutter. Watching this video motivates me to declutter again. Thanks.
This was so helpful! I’ve watched so many decluttering videos but I wanted to understand why it’s so hard for me to let go of things. I love the “I can always buy it again!” So simple, yet I never thought of it that way.
This is great! Hearing from a guy is refreshing.
"find a way" 😆😆😆😆😆 great information and some good laughs!
My favourite #6 I could bless someone else with this...
You’re awesome. You have helped me so much to declutter.
This guy puts it how it is thank you subbed!
Watching videos like this helps me feel less guilty about getting rid of gifts, especially from those who know I don’t like gifts. For my wedding I stressed the fact that no gifts were wanted and of course an aunt gave me a big engraved box with a bible passed down from my grandmothers wedding. My grandmothers marriage ended in divorce so this really had no meaning to me at all. I gave it to my mother as it held more meaning to her. As for the box it was big and not something that I would display in my home so I gave it to a friend. I still feel resentment toward the aunt that gave it to me knowing how I feel about holding on to things and being so minimal … it’s hard with family who do not understand minimalism
keep them coming guys i love your channel so helpful and yeah minimalism is awesome ahhhhhh
This was a great video. Always full of nuggets. Keep up the great work.
I feel like there is something abnormal with me because the urge or need or desire to declutter is greater than the sentiment behind an item. Can anyone else relate❓love your channel. I have forwarded to others. Thank you
That’s how I am. No item feels sentimental at all. -Carleen
Very helpful. Thank you.
I feel for minimalists that get a lot of gifts or presents, such as if they are a school teacher. A friend gave me a nice travel crossbody purse that I don't really like. I can't donate it because she might ask about it, and I don't want to lie or tell her that I donated it. Normally, if there's a big life event, I ask people NOT to get me any presents, and that includes live plants. If they want to take me to lunch, that's fine, but I don't want any items that I have to store someplace and then worry about decluttering.
I’m the same. I tell people I only want consumables such as food or drink, or flowers. No potted plant to cause me ongoing work and stress. 😅
Love this video, it was very helpful!
This video was very inspiring, all the points you brought up made a lot of sense. I know down the line I'll have to watch it again. p.s. Even I had a hard time letting go of the bat. Can't believe you did it.
Awesome video! Funny and inspiring. Gave me the nudge I needed to let a lot of stuff go. Thank you!
I felt this haha. So true, our brains are definitely good at getting stuck in survival mode. Great video - I look forward to more - instant sub from me :D
Loved this video, You are the best, hugs Jannike from Sweden ❤️🇸🇪
Easy for me: Out with the OLD in with the NEW; I love new things; such a refresher :)
Lol grandma breaking in 😂
Love your channel....and this video! 🌺🌺🌺
We are unpacking after a cross country move. I’m wondering if my old journals are kind of like the baseball bat? I rarely go back and look at them. I am going to use all of these strategies as we unpack.
I know I might not be motivating but I was thinking you might save these journals for your kids or grandkids someday. I would have loved having something like this handed down to me! My kids, on the other hand don't seem to share this sentiment.
Mine is what I know I spent on an item, those are the hardest to get rid of for me
100 percent true. Thank you
Great and entertaining video, thank you!
LOL!!!!! Love your videos so helpful and entertaining
Thank you this was some of the thoughts I was looking for. Struggling over here and need to purge! Its so hard. You got tips for getting kids on board? Toys??
Your bedroom isn't black anymore! Would love an updated home tour since you're changing it up again.
Yup we painted it all white…. That was the most time consuming project ever 😂😂
@@TheArmsteadFamily I bet! Many coats!
This was incredibly entertaining that I am getting my hubby to watch it too 😄😆
Haha thank you ❤️
You can always buy it again can only come from a person raised in abundance knowing that there will always be food, clothing and water. If you never could afford a bicycle growing up and now as an adult you drive a BMW...you still never had a bicycle growing up. Fear is imbedded by struggle and scarcity. People who grew up hungry are likely to hoard food because food is available but fear stays
sentimental stuff is the most difficult for me. I went a route that I think many folks do. 1 I got rid of trash first. I never was like a TV reality show level Hoarder, but definitely the average American level hoarder. May be even a little worse than average, but definitely bad enough that I did absolutely have some trash mixed in with my stuff at the darkest point in my life. Second, I got rid of everything that I knew I would never use, I did not like having and was just in the way. This gave me enough breathing room to start questioning that which was left. I have over the last several years very slowly reduced my possessions kind of like going on a very slow diet. Just like diet and exercise, I eventually started kind of sculpting my life. But I still have that stubborn belly fat - Excessive sentimental junk. I almost see it exactly like that. I see being minimal like being physically fit. Right now, it is like I am kind of in shape, but would like to be more like an athlete, and for that I think I will need to really work on reducing the quantity of my sentimental stuff.
The thing is now I am needing stuff I hoarded. Because I'm short of money so now I can use stuff up.
Bon pour être honnête, je ne comprends pas vos paroles à 100 % mais votre intention oui😂❤ belle famille😊
Amazing video. ❤
I have hundreds of cds dvds I need to get rid
Find a way
Hello from Ukraine🤗Like your videos 💛💙
An air compressor is a bad decision?

Wrong. I have had things that I hadn't used in a couple of years and started using them again (things worth 100's of dollars). Although, in all fairness, not all advice is going to resonate the same with everyone. The rest of what he said has been said previously by others many, many times in books articles, videos, and podcasts.
IMHO He seems like a sincere and genuine enough guy, but nothing new here, folks.
Elementary
I love gifts but most of the gifts are something l want or need. WHY YOU SAY because they asked me what is the item l needed or wanted for a gift [like favourite food that l love to eat, money that l put away for a larger purchase item etc.] WE SHOULD BE TRUTHFUL and honest…if everyone took the time to find out what your family member or friend wanted or need WE would not support all the land fields, value villages, and stores by purchasing things [STUFF] that is not wanted or needed [ wasteful shopping ] not to mention the time wasted or wrapping it up this paper is also wasteful 😢
A car that u dont use anymore? 😮 dang ! Why not declutter the car? 😅
Nice video tho thanks!
I actually did… 2 videos before this one!
