Thinking about decluttering my violin 🎻 I never played. I wanted to learn but never did. It's been 10 years since I bought it. And also an old watch but is sentimental because I wore it for my graduation and wedding It's 12 years old. I bought a new watch ⌚️ and don't wear the other anymore. I want to use the money I make from it for a gold pendant.
I've finished my "no buy" first year and beginning the second one. For me, that's the perfect solution to stop declutering : no buy, no clutter 😉 Love from France ❤
This summer I've been eating out of the freezer and larder instead of doing big grocery shops, using the money I've saved to finance xmas gifts etc this year.😊
I like to take everything out of a space & then only put back what I actually need. It also helps me decide how I want the space to look. It leaves the space looking & feeling so much cleaner & easier to manage & pleasant to look at. 😊
I just decluttered my closet and 2 drawers last weekend and didn’t think I would have much to donate but I dropped off 4 bags to Goodwill today along with a bag of hangers!! Felt so good! Now, onto the kitchen cupboards 😊. ❤ your videos!!
these are all great things to declutter that i haven’t thought about! i especially liked when you mentioned that old towels can be donated to animal shelters.. if you have any other low waste ways to declutter i would love a video on that! thanks for all of your advice in videos :)
Check with local shelters, resale shops where money goes to charities, animal rescues, small zoos even church groups that give to homeless population in the area.
Yup, this is my biggest struggle: the closet with all the "sell, donate and responsibly declutter" items. So so many things to manage. It's easy for me to evaluate for example an unfitting hobby supply, but it is near-perfect condition and it would be a shame to end in the trash. I'd love it out of my house but now what.
I'm moving overseas and have been decluttering everything! Its eye opening how many things you accumulate over the years when you have to get rid of almost everything you own. Also, trying to do it as zero waste as possible, trying not to throw out as much by listing things for free on fb marketplace :) side note: love your sweater, where is it from?
That. Last. One! 🙌🙌🙌🙌 I've never heard anyone else mention it before. Bravo! That is exactly where I am at right now and is something I am planning to deal with this week. Thank you for yet another wonderful, peaceful, and super practical video! God bless you and your family, sweet Sister! Psalm 103 💖
Great reminders : ) My goals I'm working on are my living room and kitchen before the end of October. I have done some of my outdoor plants. Will do bathroom by November. Set timetable for myself. I am making slow but steady progress : ) P.S. I LOVEEEE that jacket : ) Hugs to you : )
Thanks good advice! Everything, but my husband likes to hold on, I have to declutter when he isn’t around. So far 2 bags of garbage, 2 bags of clothes, and 2 bags of bedding/towels to the SPCA. It feels so good!
My bedroom is the room that I want to finish before the end of 2023. It is mostly clothes and shoes in there, but I’m sure I will find other stuff as well. Thanks for the video and enjoy your weekend 🩵🤍
Believe me or not, it was a mess in my wardrobe. clothes from 15 plus years also i was like why i need minimalism and decluttering. but one day( around 2020 lockdown(thank god it happend bec i get rid of toxic people)) i was like, i have plenty of time lets try and it was my soul clears with decluttering. now stuff for me and my child is enough to be part of bug out bag. around 80L bag. great. Thank you for help. Your angelic voice also help with anxiety. Also the big plus is i cant drink pills so its big money saver with grandma herbs and old methods with vinegar and red pepper and rakiya( similar to whiskey but its 50-80 C ) God Bless. Greetings from Bulgaria
Hi Ashlynne, hope you are well. Regarding decor, it might also be worth taking note of how you feel when you are still actively putting things out, and using those feelings as a guide. For a few years, I was hanging a set of 12 baubles on the tree and I realised I didnt even like them any more! The next year, I did that with other decor and was able to condense them and buy a single storage cube, rather than having loads of them wrapped up in newspaper, bubble wrap, etc. Small steps, but sometimes we are still using things without acknowledging our true feelings. Hope that made sense?!
This totally makes sense!! I was thinking as I sat on my couch “hm. These Halloween decorations aren’t even that great, and they’re stressing me out” (even though there’s really not that many of them). Taking note!
I agree. I just downsized from a big house to a condo & I continue to let go of so much stuff. It's so refreshing to get it out of my home. I get rid of things that I don't really like & make me feel good about owning. Decor that I've held onto just in case I move or clothes that might be new but don't fit right. It's just stuff & there's no need to hold onto things that don't give us joy or are not being used. 😊
If you look back on my past videos, I have actually done one on tiny ways to take care of your mental health! If you can’t find it, just search “ mental health, ashlynne” in RUclips and you should find it! 🤍
SOOO good! Almost every one, I was like Yesss! I need to go through those! Especially that last one: items I've already decided to let go. Thanks for the video!
I am working on cleaning up/decluttering my bedroom, as it is a disaster. I think the things that I most need to declutter are clothes and Ipsy bags (just the bags, not the stuff that came in them). I have way too many of both, and I am not wearing/using a lot of them.
The local community center in my city takes plastic bags and crochets them into reusable mats that can be used as either sleeping mats or even blankets for the homeless or people needing help from the Red Cross. I make a run up there twice a month and drop off all the bags we have collected. They go to a good cause and stay out of the landfill. :)
What a lovely use of those plastic bags. I reuse them as trash bags since we don't generate enough trash to fill a 13 gallon bag between our 2 garbage pickup days.
Im paying for google storage yearly because i havent taken the time to address the issue. I say im going to do it every year before annual fee is due but i have so many pics and video i think they have me locked in for life! My inbox is empty my photos, thats another beast.
I have heard the best thing to do when you have items you have decided to declutter is to take it to your car right away and NOT let them back into the house! Because they will somehow multiple! And since your car is smaller and you often need the space more. It’s a reminder to take the items where they need to go.
Yes, or use as dog-walking 'poo bags'. You can store a ridiculous number of bags in an empty tissue box. Our town instituted a plastic-bag ban at stores so we have to make every bag count, LOL.
Hope you are completely healthy and all is well! I was just watching a video from 6 years ago and noticed your beautiful hair is not as full as it was. Have you had your thyroid and over all nutrition absorption checked lately?
I feel that it is a bit wasteful to throw out products you don't like, I try to use them even if I don't like because it took some energy to create and transport and probably that I used my hard earn money to pay for that item. Throwing it out means that you are throwing out your money and that you will buy another item that took more energy and more fuel to transport to your home.
I hate wastefulness too but as long as you're not doing it consistently it's ok to learn your lesson and not use irem as if I do that I feel worse not at my best and it affects my day and my mood so there's no point beating myself more
We have this old foam mattress pad that's rolled up in a big box in our garage right by the door into the house... quite the eye sore. Would love to figure out what to do with it!
We had one and cut it in half, stacked the pieces, sewed a zippered cover and have been using it as a dog bed - years later the dogs still love it. I was not sure what to do with it otherwise (aside from a landfill), and I’m not sure an animal shelter would take it without a washable cover.
I used to have several in different rooms but when i got everything out of all of them into one big pile i could see that i had a lot of stationery, electronics/batteries and tools & household maintenance....so now i have drawers that stovk only onectyoe of thing, and a small basket for genuine junk/has no category items.😊
One thing I need to declutter is cheap jewelry! I have recently started having sensitivity in my ear piercings; and my cheap necklaces smell like old metal and I don’t like wearing them. I want to invest in good quality pieces that I can get a ton of wear from 😊 Anybody have reccs by the way?
Great advice! I LOVE the aesthetic of your channel and GREAT video editing. THANK YOU SM for suggesting great ways to reuse/donate items instead of being wasteful! 🙏🤝👏 I DEEPLY value that quality in you. 🫀
What’s one thing (or one area) that you want to declutter before 2023 comes to a close? 🤍
A first aid supplies.
My brother old room he is married is full of clothes we have not checked and other stuff!
My books. Definitely putting it off. X
Under the sink in the bathroom and my kitchen

Love from France ❤
I bought some face soap that really not working well on my face. I use them to wash my foot. 😂 I don't wanna throw them away, kinda expensive for me.
😂❤ great new way to use it!
So smart! Love it
I’m eating down my freezers and then restocking as deals present themselves.
This summer I've been eating out of the freezer and larder instead of doing big grocery shops, using the money I've saved to finance xmas gifts etc this year.😊
A great place to take your vases is actually back to your local floral shop - at least in my town, it is!
Some nursing homes, etc. use the fronts of old greeting cards to make crafts or handmade cards.
For those hesitant of decluttering I can assure clutter overwhelms to the point you can feel stuck

Love this! I desperately need to clean out a hall closet that barely closes 👀 Thanks for the inspo!
That. Last. One! 🙌🙌🙌🙌

I love decluttering videos
Perfect timing on this- I’m moving soon and it’s such a good time to declutter ❤❤❤
Great reminders : ) My goals I'm working on are my living room and kitchen before the end of October. I have done some of my outdoor plants. Will do bathroom by November. Set timetable for myself. I am making slow but steady progress : )

Thank you for the motivation. Yesterday I decluttered all the unfinished craft projects. It feels so good and freed up so much space.
Books and movies can go. I will have room on shelf to put kitchen appliances that I want to keep even ones I don’t use often.
My bedroom is the room that I want to finish before the end of 2023. It is mostly clothes and shoes in there, but I’m sure I will find other stuff as well.
Thanks for the video and enjoy your weekend 🩵🤍

You are very calming to listen to.
I've gone through gift wrapping supplies. I worked out how many xmas gifts to get; that tells what amount I need❤
Lovely video to feel refreshed over the next few months. Think I’m going to tackle the clothes and cleaning items I no longer need
Love that!!

Super helpful video, thanks Ashlynne! Definitely going work on the frig, pantry and dreaded sock drawer😲 Also going to clutter my file drawers.
A very nice job, Ashlynne!❤❤❤❤
Thank you!!
You’re welcome!
Very useful video, Ashlynne. Could you make a video on ways to take care of mental health as well..
If you look back on my past videos, I have actually done one on tiny ways to take care of your mental health! If you can’t find it, just search “ mental health, ashlynne” in RUclips and you should find it! 🤍
@@AshlynneEaton Found it, thanks a lot!! 🤎
Thank you for this Video! ❤
I want to declutter some cords and wires and maybe some clothes and shoes before 2023 ends. 😊
SOOO good! Almost every one, I was like Yesss! I need to go through those! Especially that last one: items I've already decided to let go. Thanks for the video!

Good morning Ashlynne happy Friday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you
I liked this video I would like to declutter my cabinets the upstairs cabinets all our entertaining dishes are in there and decor.
“Simplify “ 2024
You have such a calm and relaxing voice:) I enjoy your videos❤
Aww thank you!! 🤍

I am working on organizing my closet! And bathroom drawers
Love that!!
I did some small things to open up my large closet in my bathroom, but still not motivated to do a Fall clean out. Lol!
I’m going to be working on decluttering fall decor and Halloween costumes that I saved (why?) from when my adult children were little
❤Thanks for the motivation!!!🥰😘🍁🍂🌾🌻🙋♀️
Im paying for google storage yearly because i havent taken the time to address the issue. I say im going to do it every year before annual fee is due but i have so many pics and video i think they have me locked in for life! My inbox is empty my photos, thats another beast.

Such a good tip!! Got to need to try this out!
So motivating
I will declutter my cards
Use plastic bags as trash bags. That way you can get rid of them and put them to one good final use.
Yes, or use as dog-walking 'poo bags'. You can store a ridiculous number of bags in an empty tissue box. Our town instituted a plastic-bag ban at stores so we have to make every bag count, LOL.
I reuse my plastic bags for that too 😊. Though now in NY you have to pay $.05/bag unless you bring your own.
Hope you are completely healthy and all is well! I was just watching a video from 6 years ago and noticed your beautiful hair is not as full as it was. Have you had your thyroid and over all nutrition absorption checked lately?
We still have a quarter of the year to get it done!😂
That’s why I made it now. You’ve still got plenty of time! 💪
I feel that it is a bit wasteful to throw out products you don't like, I try to use them even if I don't like because it took some energy to create and transport and probably that I used my hard earn money to pay for that item.

One place that may take these are local women’s or homeless shelters
We have this old foam mattress pad that's rolled up in a big box in our garage right by the door into the house... quite the eye sore. Would love to figure out what to do with it!
We had one and cut it in half, stacked the pieces, sewed a zippered cover and have been using it as a dog bed - years later the dogs still love it. I was not sure what to do with it otherwise (aside from a landfill), and I’m not sure an animal shelter would take it without a washable cover.
C'est super ashlynne 😊😊
I want to declutter is my bed room
My fridge and freezers
Everyone has at least one junk drawer i have 3. Im going through them soon
I used to have several in different rooms but when i got everything out of all of them into one big pile i could see that i had a lot of stationery, electronics/batteries and tools & household maintenance....so now i have drawers that stovk only onectyoe of thing, and a small basket for genuine junk/has no category items.😊
How about cleaning out and decluttering your liquor cabinet.
Yes great idea!! 😂
One thing I need to declutter is cheap jewelry! I have recently started having sensitivity in my ear piercings; and my cheap necklaces smell like old metal and I don’t like wearing them. I want to invest in good quality pieces that I can get a ton of wear from 😊 Anybody have reccs by the way?
My coat closet
Tupperware and plastic containers
Love it!!
Summer pajamas that are worn out
to get rid of: clothing that doesn't fit, makeup thats old, books i dont ready anymore.
why did you throw away those cards those hold a special meaning.. you should have put them in a keepsake box or something but don't throw them away😭
Great advice! I LOVE the aesthetic of your channel and GREAT video editing. THANK YOU SM for suggesting great ways to reuse/donate items instead of being wasteful! 🙏🤝👏 I DEEPLY value that quality in you. 🫀
Oh I’m so glad to hear that!!
