Thanks so much for the explanation about the captions. I found your videos today and I LOVE your energy, style and content. Your acknowledgement of the caption situation lets me know that I am not forgotten. Thanks SO much!!
Thanks for breaking this all down into manageable bites! The hardest part for me is all the sentimental stuff...really slows me down😊
Love how Clover sat between you so that he could watch you both. My dog was the same. Loyal to everyone and liked to keep an eye on us all
My dog would have chewed the heck out of that airpod case. :)
I had a fire years ago and never been able to find places for all my stuff any ideas?
I might have a good idea for your clients who just refuse to live without those hard copy manuals. I keep a folder (2 pocket folder) for every room in my house. Example, 1 for kitchen, 1 for master bedroom), etc. in the pocket I keep the manual for the room that the item lives in. Then file them on a shelf “book style”.
Chronic illness means that I have very little time with energy. I cannot plan in advance because my health is unpredictable. So I have to do so little at a time, maybe one box of stuff. But, if you keep at it you do see the difference. I cant get everything out. Maybe just one shelf and that's frustrating, but great when it's done. X
Do what works for you :)
Dee, I have a chronic condition with pain, fatigue, fog, etc. I cannot clean by taking everything out because who knows when I would be able to clean it up? I’m better at using Dana White’s method of putting things away as you come to them. Is it more walking? Yes. Do I leave a mess behind, no. So I keep a trash bin, a donate box and anything that doesn’t go there goes to its home. Does that make sense? She has podcast “A Slob Comes Clean” if you are interested. Not all her methods work for those of us with chronic pain, but some do. For instance, I cannot do all my laundry in one day, but that’s ok. We all have to do what works for us. Good luck to you.
@@sandyh8755 I have daily headaches, WE need a group! 😂 I could use pointers. I’m so frustrated, I’m in bed not knowing where to go. But I am a cricket according to clutterbug. My idea of a great birthday? Going to container store. That’s why I’m here! Yeah! 💖🦩
@@bcfriardoyle7697 I was having daily headaches until I started eating gluten free almost 2 years ago. I still get migraines once in a while and my regular headaches have reduced significantly.
@@bcfriardoyle7697
Start taking magnesium (150 mg - 3 times a day + vitamins B2, B6, and folate.) Magnesium aspartate, magnesium glutamate may make a headache worse. Magnesium oxide has a laxative effect like magnesium citrate. Try different types of magnesium - magnesium sulfate may be good. It is common for magnesium to have a laxative effect so try different types.
She sings “Look at me on a pony!” OK right there I know we could be friends. ❤️ Love your channel.
omg your scrapbook! I love it it's so simple but it contains all the memories! I've never scrapbooked before because I thought you had to make those gorgeous spreads with those sticky plastic books but yours is so perfect!
Keep, toss, donate and other rooms. Great categories
Actually, I have a whole trunk of “sentimental “. The trunk itself is “sentimental “. My mother redesigned a 100 year old trunk for me when I was in high school. I’m 69 years old! 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😀. However, this video gave me different viewpoint about decluttering and taking everything out of the closet at one time. I wanted to break it down in sections. I’m going try it your way.
Maybe take a photograph of some of the items that you could get rid of. That way you can look at the photograph to keep the memory and free up space
So precious 😍
Starting is the most challenging part, I’ll do anything to delay it, including watching videos of others doing it lol
Nice informational video, Kay. I love your idea of the spiral scrapbook for occasional cards, etc. My handwriting is poor as I’ve aged but it’s a super cute idea. Love your hair, too!
My biggest challenge of decluttering is just getting started. 😀
I loved the macro and then micro sorting idea, and the “other rooms” bin! Both are going to be life changing concepts for me!
Your "cloffice" is very nice, and very tidy! I'm working on my own...cloffice.
I love the idea of the scrapbook and the memory box.
Girl, your curls are poppin'! Thanks for letting us watch and gather some inspiration/strength/courage to tackle out own declutterizations!
My biggest challenge is actually completing the process. I lose mental and physical energy and leave stuff on the floor forever! I do better with short bursts or doing a small area at a time.
It is hard to get through it! When I’m with clients, I can always sense when they need to take a break. Taking a timed breather can rejuvenate your energy or starting with a SMALLER project so that you can actually complete it may help move it along!
Sounds a lot like me. Do you have ptsd.....
@@TheOrganizedSoprano not if you have ptsd cuz my timed breaks might just drain my energy and it never gets done
Me, too. In another video she had a tip that you should decide where the stuff you are getting rid of should go before hand and that really does help. My obstacle is things I want to sell, because I hate selling stuff. Usually I opt to donate it just so I can get it out the door.
@@Smuddpie Me too. But Offerup is a great app. To start getting rid of things before donating.
My biggest organizational problem is I want someone else to do it but I don't want someone going through my stuff. I wouldn't even let my house cleaner come in my bedroom or office. It's sad I would pay her to clean while I'm cleaning my other rooms.
Definitely, my biggest prob is time and space. When I was single (25 yr ago) - no problem. Now, I can't complete anything in 1 day and working full + time, sometimes have to leave my piles for days. Then it becomes an even bigger mess that the whole family complains about. If I could get off and get rid of my family for a week, I think I could make real progress.
Same here. I clean all the time, but can't make any progress. I keep begging my family to keep my kids for a week lol
I find it helps when I focus on a small area at a time, like a single "level" of a shelf. Not even so much as to declutter and organise in one go. But declutter each shelf one day at a time then organise after the decluttering of the whole shelf. That's the only way I can manage to get anything done with young kids around.
Lol that’s the way I used to TRY to declutter. But I came across a slob comes clean and she has a way to declutter without making a mess. Sounds crazy to me but I tried it and it worked for me. Instead of making piles, you put things where they belong as you go. All you need is a donation box and a trash bag. If you start in say a closet, you look for trash and that goes in the bag and anything you don’t want goes in the donation box and if it belongs somewhere else, you go and put it there right now! This way if you have to stop this second, all you have out is the trash bag and donation box! Added bonus, you’ll get your steps in!
Ooo i love that filing box! I thought suspension files had to go in a filing cabinet so now I know there are other options!
Paper, paper, paper is the hardest for me. I have a system BUT the filing always gets me. Lays around for months. I finally do it and then start the piles all over again. :(
Filing is the worst because you can’t just arbitrarily toss them if they have personally identifying info on it. It’s best to do it in small chunks...catch up and then stay on top of it
My biggest challenge when decluttering is figureing out what I can keep in the space and making a purpose for it. It is usually layers for me. I do the macro bits and trash. Then I have to live with it awhile and then I do the micro organizing. Which I crave!
Just in time for the weekend 👍🏿🌸
When I finish organizing, will it give me a bright, cheerful personality like yours? Quite an incentive! You're doing a great job.
LOL! Thank you!
You made so many great points in this vlog. I’m an organizer also, and I enjoy watching other organizers to see their style.
Do you do like me, after you’re finished, and want to sit in a lounger to view your latest organized project? It’s very rewarding to me.
I enjoyed watching your style, which is very similar to my style.
Ah, you're a right ray of sunshine, such optimism. "...it's not that complicated."
You haven't seen my clutter
*literal LOL*
Wow... So much clutter in my house; she has no idea
@@afoote2871 I've started calling it 'minimising' as 'decluttering' has such a negative vibe to it, at least for me lol
LOL 😂 I love how you make decluttering fun, with your let's get stared dance.
I love that she’s explaining this process so well cuz I do so much of this when cleaning but now I can justify my weird “other room” pile instead of just saying I’m too lazy to walk to the kitchen to put stuff away😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
When I have to take a break (bathroom) is when I leave the room
I love your happy spirit.😍
Mini disc player!!! I found a box with collectible discs and mixes made by a friend and just didn’t have the heart to throw it away... maybe someday? Thanks for the video :)
This is so helpful for me because my daughter is moving out next month and I have big plans for her room! I'll finally be able to set up my art studio/plant room and I have so many things in storage that will need sorting and discarding. Clover is such an expert at supervising! 😀
Omg can’t wait to see the new plant room!!
I actually love that you are a soprano. My son is a musician with the Navy and he has been all over the world and has performed in Boston and surrounding communities and I just love music performances. And I also love that you are organized. So this is a double win for me. Thanks for all your tips. I am downsizing my house and it has been a very long and frustrating many times
That’s awesome! I considered being a military musician at one point but never went for it. Some GREAT peeps in the bands and choruses!
Great video I love how to break it down into bite size pieces. My issue tends to be the overwhelming feeling. I combat it by taking one drawer at a time or one cabinet at a time. Thank you!!
I’m new to your channel today (love it!). My minidisc player is still in my giveaway pile - made me laugh to hear you lamenting giving it away. I totally get it. As a professional musician it has been hard for me to give away my minidisc player and my dr. Beat even though my phone replaces both items for me. Keep up the great work!
I'm always excited to see your videos!
This has to be the best decluttering video ever, thank you so much 🥰
Thank you! I appreciate that ❤️
Finally switched over my summer and winter clothes and bought new slim hangers (like you suggest) to hang my clothes. I took all the winter stuff out first. It allowed me to see verything and get rid of a few things. It definitely was time consuming; about 4 hours and still need more hangers (bought a pack of 50).
Now I have to find out if my donation site is open. Phone was disconnected.
Loved your video; lots of inspiration, and very much enjoyed the humor! I'm a paper crafter, and I never met a piece of paper i didn't like! So that is my biggest challenge. I'm getting better at it, though, so there's light at the end of the tunnel! The paper I have is now organized into manageable categories, even so far as "small scraps" and "large scraps"! All the papers I use in mixed media and journaling used to be all jumbled together. Now I have to start on the pens. You had a lot of pens and other writing instruments (LOL) but would you believe me if I told you I have about 20 times what you had in that container? So I will definitely be watching more of your videos! TFS :)
I love when you show us where things live! Im like ohhhh that makes sense.
Just found your videos and I so want to be friends with you. You are so fun and creative! Great videos - thanks for all the info!!!
My biggest problem is getting most of it done and then just freezing and leaving it a huge mess
For travel items, instead of bin space, I put all travel items (sample toiletries, cords, etc.) in my suitcases. I digitized mementos-you still have the memory but it’s not taking up space. There are some originals I’ll never part with but some I’ve just gone digital with.
thanks for breaking down the process.
Hi Kay, I’m writing a book so keeping research papers sorted and filed as I go is a challenge. I work at my dining room table as I don’t have other space to work and it’s hard keeping it tidy - though I try hard. I’ve been decluttering and organising for four years and my habits have changed enormously and I have decluttered a huge amount of things in that time. I’m one of those people who needs to see things otherwise I forget about them. My husband is the opposite. He has more stuff than me but it’s all put away. Thanks for your great channel. Love seeing you and Clover. Big hugs from Sydney. 💐
very helpful, will try this system tomorrow, thanks a lot!🥰
Gosh. You are adorable. So glad I found your channel!
I’m always looking at how to store programs and things from concerts and things I’ve attended, specially concerts my sister has played in, I have so many over the years. Seeing the quick glance of how you organize them has given an idea of how to store and display mine. I’m enjoying the video. Thanks for sharing it. 🙂
Thank you for this content 🙏🙏🙏 You explain this so well!!
I don't know if I could have gotten rid of the Walkman. You are brave.
My biggest challenge is kitchen pantry, I have two tall cabinets full of spices and foil, clear wrap and a variety of other items. Its a huge challenge to pull everything out.
Hello from Ohio. Hi Clover, hi Kay.
I can't thank you enough for your videos. You make it easier for us when you take small steps. I also find it helpful when you show different organizer ( all i know are recycled boxes). Have a great weekend 😁
Great tips and information thanks for sharing 👍
Off-topic but... I got a new oven and it has a bread proofing feature. 😭 So beautiful. So excited to probably hear snips here and there about your baking adventures. I just made my first sourdough starter as well!
Great information
I usually go shelf by shelf and bin by bin when I am decluttering. I'm a major procrastinator and otherwise it would just look super messy for weeks.
I make room on the floor and table and go in chunks.
But I sometimes go by category, so if I have two bins of the same categories, I take those.
I always enjoy 😊 your videos for organizing our lives. You take the stress away🧞♀️💕
your curls are life
I used to definitely get caught up Micro organizing when my mom used to make me sort through my papers growing up. Now that I'm a home organizer myself, I aaaaaalways steer clients away from getting lost in the small details. Thanks for sharing your process Kay!
YASSSSSSS The micro organizing ya gotta nip in the bud, it’s a slippery slope lol
My biggest challenge decluttering is things that have been in the house awhile pick up an energy to me and I feel bad giving them away. And finding the time to properly pull things out. I always start on the weekend and make amazing progress but sometimes it looks a little worse because I’m not finished but then have to wait til the following weekend to have another proper block of time. I’ve been at this for months and it’s taken over my life.
I love Skill Share too. Your voice has a very friendly time and clear. Your "closetoffice"! Macro categorizing makes so much sense. Oh I feel the clutter organization process and mess it makes and it's random stuff! Wonderful video. Yes "other rooms" bins. I do this also. Oh love the collapsible bins.
So glad I found you. So are a breath of fresh air. Informative and too cute!
I legit was gonna suggest you make this video...thank you!
Me too loved how clever sat in between both rooms. So cute🥰
I still have my Rca cd Walkman, cant get rid off it still works. Thank you for this motivational video 😘👍
You have changed my laundry process. New house last year with no tiny laundry and no space for my wicker laundry basket. I ordered a foldable mesh cube like yours (Amazon) et voila! C'est magnifique. I did have to go to RUclips to learn how to collapse it. Merci, merci, merci!
I meant "a tiny laundry".
You have a lovely home!!!
Thank you I needed this motivation 😍
Hi! A video I would love to see is things you can do to prepare for a professional declutter appointment! I would assume it would include lots of basics but would love to hear it from a professional! Eg make sure all the trash is taken out (maybe the week before so you have empty bins), do some loads of washing so your closet is as full as possible, clear a space to put things, etc. Just an idea! 😊
Paper! I hate dealing with all of the paper that comes into my house. Between kids school stuff, random mail and genuinely important things it is SO much paper!
My pug does that! He gets tired of following me to every room, so he lays where he can watch all rooms😍, I like your videos😀
Mini disks were what we used in broadcasting school. I still have my demo reel on one, and never ripped it. I never owned a mini disk player though, only had access at school... I might never hear my demo again
This is really helped motivate me to do some decluttering today!
Wish I had your energy Thanks for info.
Thank you so very much for this video❣️ I have been “desperately seeking decluttering inspiration” 🤣 & came across your video. I just had to take a moment & tell you that you are absolutely beautiful inside & out❣️ Your voice & everything about you is so uplifting & motivating! Anyone who has the opportunity to work with you is blessed no doubt! Thank you again for sharing with us❣️
That’s so sweet! Thank you so much 😭❤️
Love your closet wallpaper!!
Thank you! It’s my favorite part of the space!
You are awesome & funny... thank u for these videos 😁
My current challenge is my greenhouse that has become an overflow fallout space. It has become so overwhelming for years now, ug!
I have had multiple years of major life events and no time to do these processes, and compounded additionally of other family members habits it has become so big, that I have worked mostly on the walk through spaces often and ignore the rest, but sad every time I look at this desired space I so want to use. I have now appointed a day to work on it. And am trying to formulate a plan of action, which may entail tackling another space to make this one work! Breath! I have huge time challenges, so I may need a way to back step and handle sections verses everything in one day.
Working with small spaces and yuky weather is a challenge, compounded with memories connected with the loss of a loved one that touch every area of. My life!
I've heard and noticed also myself that best way to get rid of misc stuff is to get rid of storing baskets etc! :)
My biggest challenge is getting rid of my scrapbooking supplies. It was a hobby I once enjoyed but no longer. There’s just so much of it and it pains me to think how much money I poured into it. It’s taken me literally years to sell or donate a little at a time when I can muster up enough time or energy to deal with it.
Carol K Now might be a good time to offer the supplies to neighbors who are home schooling their kids.
zuzu's petals yes, I’ve been giving stuff away to all the school teachers I know, selling some, and donating the rest. Still a slow but steady process.
Prehaps you could sell it as a bulk lot on Ebay.
Love your outfit and thank you for being so kind and gentle about it 🥰
Thank you! 🥰
Wish I could work with you in my home! I think you would make it fun!😊
Ah, that bin at 7:20, I love it!! A customer gave me one years ago and I just started using it. Was hoping to get more somewhere, if I can find them.
I wish you were on the west coast so I could hire you to help me!
Great presentation girl...
Decluttering video catches my attention... pain over having to toss a sentimental pen is totally relatable... finds DS charger, I'm hooked and subscribed!🤣 I'm really enjoying your videos!💛
This was so helpful! Thank you! I have been wanting to declutter my space for sooo long but I just had no idea what was the best method. This was a great guide :)
I LOVE those vinyl & mesh zippered pouches from The Container Store! I buy at least one every time I'm there. : )
Love the two drawers that hold all those pens (around the 8 minute mark)! I have some photo boxes which makes it more difficult for me to put stuff away and I think something like those drawers would be a good solution!
They are Like-It paper drawers and I got them from Container Store! I’ve had them forever and they hold up awesome
Okay but I love your bedroom decor!!!
Thank you! We are so excited to have this room!
I'm getting ready to move next month so this helps me. Keep, toss, donate is what I need to remember. Any other moving tips you have or if you have another video I will watch. I live alone( I'm a terminal bachelor ) and I'm already stressed out by the real estate and all the process of moving. Thanks for sharing and posting. Take care.
Omigosh! Good luck! Moving is the worst! I planned on making a moving video but it got pushed back for some reason! Thanks for the reminder to create it!
@@TheOrganizedSoprano You can do no wrong. Love your channel and ideas. Stay safe and Covid free.
Good luck with the move, I did one last year. You will declutter both before and after the move! LOL
Great job!!! Will you be doing a balcony reveal?💕
Great tips
Good video
“Look at me on a pony!” 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kay you should sing for us!!!
@3:44 BEST TIP in every organization
I started decluttering my apartment and my storage unit 11 months ago... I finally feel like I have things kind of under control. But it never ends!!
I usually do one "other room" tour at the beginning of the decluttering. Everything that is immediately obvious. Everything that comes up throughout decluttering, goes to one place.
Closet decluttering😀😀
Empty it out - uh, no?
You open the front door to a "perpendicular" foyer: left is LR, right is kitchen & rest of house, straight ahead is "dining room."
DR soon became the music room, & with kids in college, it is the craft room. Chaotic. I was making good progress on putting like things together (did that with my office obsession items, but there's not a real place for that). Macros are sewing, beading, painting, general crafts. (Scrapbooking is still in the storage unit!)
Then, all 3 kids came home from college, and a whole lot of stuff for dumped in the LR, the foyer, and falling and pushing into my craft room. I have yet to recover from that, & this summer until now I've been re-working my mom's (rent) house to sell, doing a lot of work myself.
WHEN I get back to the craft room, there is certainly no real place to pull everything out, unless I completely overwhelm the LR. And The chances of keeping my focus in momentum going long enough to get it done are fairly slim, unless I have a dedicated focus partner.
You should do what works for you 😉
Good tactics!
I really like the video and your style!
Really helpful channel. Just discovered you as I begin a massive declutter and clean in preparation for a move. Btw, I have two Cavs and they love to watch me in my office, too.
Yay! I’m so glad you found it helpful! I’m biased but I think Cavs are the best dogs ever...like they are like doggy sunshine
Just watching this. This was a great video Kay
