This host, I guess her name is Tracy, is amazing, speaks so naturally and responds with humour at the right time, radiates positivity 😍
I feel the same. She's very likeable isn't she.
I thought that too. I mean she should be on AM show. Goodness! She makes the day brighter. Where is MSNBC, ABC.... HR, don't you see a talent?
Please don't take our Cityline host!
I agree! Love her!!!
So sweet of you to say, Tina! We agree and thank you for watching :)
"You're the daughter my Dad never had". Lololol adorable! Love it!
Tracy Moore, is an amazing host and her guests are all wonderful. I love watching the women centered segments, always entertaining, delightful, and always helpful .
Thank you for watching!
Man, I like this lady. She's so quick and so clever. Personable.
Totally agrees with your love for Cityline's host! A beautiful classy woman with a great sense of humor ♥
I love Tracy. She's a beautiful and awesome human being!
Love Tracey's jacket.
Girl!!!!!!
I legit only clicked on the video for that!!! Lol
LOVE her jacket!
It is a great colour for Tracey.
That library bookshelf is the most incredible decor I’ve seen for a book reader!
Oh my my.. you looking gorgeous dear.. the pale pink and straight hair look stunning on you.. love you so much 😍😘
Training the client!!!! Awesomeness
I love the binder system!
Love Trace, she is so responsive to her guest.
Me! Going crazy now 🤪...pulled everything out of my library two weeks ago 🙃 ...so watching videos for inspiration 🤩💖
Amazing how the book lovers honed in on get rid of books!
I didn't have a choice when we down sized. But, I didn't call it 'getting rid of my books'. I called it sharing as they went to libraries, my cancer infusion center, senior centers, libraries and yes some went to Goodwill so they could be shared with the less fortunate.
They will end up there some day anyway, because the kids these days mostly don't want them.
Goodwill charges WAY to much to really go in the hands of people less fortunate. Ive looked at the prices in Goodwill over the last few years & totally stopped shopping there. As a single struggling full time server & part time student, I couldnt afford Goodwill anymore...I go to smaller thrift stores that are with cancer/kidney foundations. Youre on the right path with the cancer infusion center..look to smaller thrift stores that will charge $2 or less 50cents for those treasured books..I try to donate to the women living in battered womens shelters, I give my clothes to Teens in the foster care system after seeing a drive for prom dresses once. Halfway homes getting young people back on track will love your books, work appropriate clothing ect..Mothers helping Mother's literally NEED everything in your home you can donate..furniture clothing ect..
What is mothers helping mothers? Can you donate if you’re not a mother?
Thank you for all of the great tips. I already do the binder for my taxes. Just need to organize 2019 taxes. I could use so much help with the office clutter and paper piles.
I’m not even Canadian and I love this show so much.
Some books are beautiful works of art, especially leather bound hardback books, with gold leaf page edges. Some are family heirlooms. Especially Bibles or other religious books.
I find myself coming back because of the host lol she catches my attention
So hilarious & informative! I had a blast watching this! Thanks so much for posting! I started watching this because I had a stack of papers that I needed to go through and I also just started an online graphic arts business. So this was perfect!
What a great host!! Very natural and funny!!
Love Tracy's energy!
Great info, and especially the one about the little library :)
I love the Little Free Library. There are two in our town.
I like the backwards library! Great idea! 👍🏾
Paper clutter, my nemesis. I hate dealing with it.
Get rid of junk mail as soon as you get it. Open up everything anyway.
Yesterday was a game changer for me. I had not picked up my mail for a while...Well I decided I was not going to take home all that clutter..So I made it a point I was not going to bring it Inside my home except Nothing but the Essentials. I made sure I put all that Junk Mail/Circulars in the trash can next to my mailbox. It was very liberating to see I only had a couple of envelopes Instead a whole bag of junk!!!!
I love that my city get those around the city love the idea its cool yes cause where iam from theres a lot of homeless people and they read also and great place for them to drop a book and get a book!!✔👍👌thank you for sharing. Your great ideas
I am lucky to live in Maleny Queensland and we have a free library in our little town. It is awesome!
Did she actually invent the little free library??? Such a cool idea!!!
Can you provide links for the things that you show us to use? Containers, binders, tabs, etc.
I have books that I have read a ton of times. I can't tell you how many times I have read Pride and Prejudice, Catcher in the Rye, and so many others. There are books that are a part of me and of my journey through life I have lost count of how many times I have read some of them. It's great to donate books if that is what you want but donating them because they are "clutter" is messed up. Books are not for decoration they are for learning from, inspiring and enjoyment. The idea that you should have books with "decorating" in mind is ridiculous and a little shallow. If you don't have room then use the public library, we are so fortunate in Canada to have such an amazing and generous public library system. So use the library till the cows come home but keep your favourite books, stories, etc. at home on a shelf where they are handy for when you need a pick me up from your favourite author.
She did not say that you need to get rid of every book you have. Keep the ones you treasure but pass the others on. It's good advice in my book.
Fyi, If you have a reading tablet, laptop, phone , etc ...and a library card....many libraries have a lot of their books in digital format and you can 'check them out' for free whenever
@@cherylkeys1284 how long have you had your book? lol.
What about online stuff? Especially when you have 1/3 on paper, 1/3 on both and 1/3 just on line. And how do you know what to keep and for how long?
I like the go over it on the weekend.
I keep reference books that I can use in the future & donate others
To 'keep' books - one solution to consider - one long shelf at the top of the ceiling (12" or so from ceiling) along the whole length of the room, even several walls if needed. Looks cool and doesn't take up floor space, and can be accessed when needed.
I tend to buy a lot of books as well, but I gift them to people. Sometimes I'll buy them and never read them. When a birthday comes up. I always look around my house first . I usually find a brand new book to gift! Just did that today!
Somebody said get rid of the junk mail, ads. You really need to open every single letter. Here’s what I’m talking about : I got a letter from BCBS insurance. I don’t have BCBS insurance anymore. I only opened it because the envelope was large and I use those for my grocery lists. I would’ve thrown away a refund check! It happened again recently when I had paid an overage on car insurance. I started to throw it away bc it didn’t look like the envelope the insurance payment came in. I assumed they were trying bundle something or whatever. That one had a refund check, too.
Yes!!! I almost threw out a federal stimulus check years ago. After that, I make sure to open every envelope. :)
I ❤️ Tracy!
I need her!!
What are some of the tabs named?
Love this host, so funny! :)
There are reference books. Cooking, art, dictionaries, spiritual, etc. People that read and like access to information do not see it that way. The internet is also a good tool but does not take care of it totally. Sorry.
I'll go to my books first then if the need arises, I'll Google it. It is not the same. Nicole (Canada)
I really wish someone would help me with my place. I am recently back at work after battling addiction and mental health issues. I know I have too much stuff and am trying to combat a shopping addiction. I have new young grand babies that I am lucky enough to get to see them almost every day. It seems an obvious choice to help my daughter and her babes rather than do circles in my home/clutter b. But I seriously need help. Oh ya, I am poster child for ADHD.
I like the host of Hot Mess House and how she organizes for Ladybugs better than this!!! Love to see her on your show, Tracy, Cas is HILARIOUS!!!!!!
Note: - Need a 'door' on that little library. Wood framed (painted) with Plexiglass insert, hinges and caulk to keep out the rain and bugs. :-)
The host has got it all
Larry McEnerney your presentation was excellent! Care about what your "Readers wants" -FOCUS ON THIS!
Her Dad is amazing...M♡M of 5
She's obviously not a book lover. Read it once? Like who does that???
Exactly, what I was thinking...
youaintneverlied I have many books I've only read once. And, many more I've read several times
@@ellenhofer3343 was speaking in generalities. Of course everyone is different
I reread books. You retain info, but you need to refresh. Especially if it is a book where you have invested to read for talents or skills.
"You're the daughter my father never had"
I'm doing this... done with all my clutter and bills. lol
Any ideas on medical papers ive got to many it literally does make me sicker thank you god bless
I keep a medial binder with copies of my scans (scan cds) and tests. You could have sections for blood tests, medications and doctor visits. But I honestly only really needed it during cancer treatment and seeing new surgeons or doctors. Now it’s easy to access most of your records online but is probably good to have hard copies just in case your hospital of doctors office doesn’t remote back up your information and something happens to the building.
I need Bianca in my life.
Keyword for me is stress. No matter how much I want to, plan to, get myself psyched about it, no matter what I ALWAYS get overwhelmed 5 min in. Whereas I've seen other people make it look easy and really fast. Jealous
I recommend bookshelves. But I do purge from time to time. Rarely reference books.
It is too bad that here in Brampton Ontario, mini libraries on the sidewalks are against by-laws; it creates loitering (!) but they are such a great idea. Can't wait to move out of here.
Ivanka would have fun doing my husband's office. It's full of paper clutter and junk we can't find a way to get rid of. It's the only room in the house that is cluttered. It's where the little clutter that we do have hides.
Amazon will buy books. libraries only keep books for so long but they have book sales.
I clicked ahead just so I could skip the 'get rid of books' bit, lol. I do like the idea of finding a home for all my paperw6, God help me!
@1:30 thanks
Now that I've watched this... Where is all the advice about organizing papers. This whole video is "don't keep your books" wtaf???
The first part is about paper:
1:33 Have one “home” (inbox) for paper
2:17 Go through your inbox once a week and deal with the paper
2:37 Tracy summarizes: Have a home (inbox) for papers and sort through them once a week.
3:11 Put the papers you are keeping in a binder with tabs, sorted by category.
Books are discussed after that.
Books. We have some 'family books' that we have to keep. (either it is about our family or written by a family member, or signed, or were favorites of great grandparents - classics/academic, which are historical. Then there are books that I want my granddaughter to read as she gets older - about our country, or famous people, or philosophy/wisdom, growing up, life lessons, finance/budget/economics, etc., that I keep. I keep the classics - Atlas Shrugged, Gone with the Wind, Tale of Two Cities, Charlotte's Web, etc. There are books that represent my education, and who I am and what I believe in, people I admire, etc., for reference and referral in conversations, to lend/share, and as a scrapbook when I die, of 'who was she?'. These all, I want to keep. I don't have 'fiction' per se, or just 'beach reading' or James Patterson/Nora Roberts type books, but would give to friends if I did. I have reference books - dictionaries, recipes, 'how-to', etc., but I guess that all can be obtained 'on-line' now - so those I might be able to get rid of. I don't have really any other kinds of books - but if I did - donating to the library is a great solution.
Keep all books - but fire the gnome!
hello:)I make a statistical survey for my school. Please help me ! Choose one option! What do you make with the unnecessary papers before throwing out them?
A, always crumpling
B, always ripping/tearing
C, different
D, burning
Love You and your shiwb
Literally every comment is about the books. Lol.
We are keeping our books so just try giving some other advice. Lol.
No way in hell am I going to have like 7 books. I wouldn't even want to be friends with anyone with that few books.
Ultraviolet Morgan 😂😂xactly, it’s comforting just to know they are there.
Lol i feel smarter with them around.
@Ultraviolet Morgan
Why don't you replace your paper books for eBooks? I did that and now there is much more space in my small flat.
O reread my books.
The receipt thing is ridiculous. If you're using a sheet protector for just three receipts that's crazy. Just make envelopes with the names of the stores you shop in frequently: CVS, Whole Foods, Stop & Shop, Home Goods, Marshalls, whatever...then make envelopes for restaurants, gas & doctor bills...store them in an accordion file. As for paper clutter/mail. If you put it in a basket, then you don't know when it's due. Open it, and put it in your calendar or an accordion date file for when it is due. Otherwise, you won't know when it's due if you leave it stacked. Kudos to the host. She's great, bright and beautiful.
Thanks so much my cancer doctors dont match up plus ive got ms so many doctors and nurses thank you
I can do it, but maintenance is issue. It’s an old fashioned idea. A place for everything, and everything in it’s place.
I'm terribly unorganized and the only times I've been able to properly keep track of paper is to use a binder. Even if I just punched whatever and put it in on top, then sorted categories later. At least you know it's IN there.
Backward lib shook me to my core...ooh no.
Deepika Vijai Me too. For so many reasons! One of them being that I LOVE seeing what books people are reading!
The covers can be cool, but I think it is a neat idea to have backwards books for some people. Amy Landino, a productivity RUclipsr, does it that way because she likes the content but can’t bring herself to clash the bright neon colors with her white and rose gold room. It’s cool because it gives people a way to have books in a neutral color scheme, opening up the book world to people who may not like the aesthetic so much. However, I too like to check out the covers, and the only books I would put that way are books I don’t really like enough to check the covers.
I am buried in 📚 books for years ..some I will never part with. I re-read all the time
YOU GOTA GET "CASSANDRA' HER CHANNEL "CLUTTERBUG" SHE IS SUCH A REAL PERSON AND HAS A FEW BOOKS OUT BEST SELLERS FOR ORGANISING. SHE IS SO HONEST AND REAL. SHE always says she use to be a slob. And got her self organised and is now a pro organiser. She is what i would think of when i think "canadian woman" lovee herrr! Plss plsss get her on this show
Clutterbug
@clutterbug
I dissagree on books- they are worth keeping esp. non-fiction related to your work!
There is some merit to getting rid of your books, tho! I love my books and they are displayed prominently in my home.... The problem is, I keep buying more!
I do periodically go through my collection and donate the ones I don't absolutely love, or are too beat up (and then buy more) XD
As Marie Kondo says, if it doesn't bring you joy...
I had heart palpatations when I saw those books turned around. I get the concept but it's totally not for me. 😂
1:30 . You're welcome
She lost me and getting rid of books... No. I guess she cringes whenever she sees a home library...
To some people Books = Junk paper What? Family library to pass on to your children ?? Early additions??? - who cares)) Books are sure no Target coupons to care for.... God help us!)
Ocd
I wish companies would just stop sending paper mail altogether. Email everything. There’s no need to send paper copies.
I want her to train me.
I think it's better to use a large coupon organizer for the receipts. I have used the mail organizer system but it doesn't work in my house, my family just puts mail on the nearest table. If you have a family living with you just know as a mom you'll be the one putting away everything where it's supposed to be. Period. It's true everything needs a home and you'll need wisdom to figure out how large of a storage and where to put it. It's just frustrating because it costs a lot of money shopping for storage bins and figuring it all out.😩
4:49 = worst advice I ever heard about cleaning. I love having books, I want to own a library of my own one day, made up of my favorite stories like the Harry Potter series, and educational books like the four agreements or spiritual books like War Room, and my study bible. Why would I want to get rid of them?! No thanks, if you can’t come up with a better organization solution that allows me to keep what I need and most of what I want then it’s not going to work. This advice is better suited for a minimalist or someone else. Not for people who collect books. I would never buy books just to decorate anyway.
Yes, please don't be what CPAs call "Box Clients"!
you need a scanner
.... and then she lost me on the books. Nope. Nope. Nope. I should purge my library once in a while, but I'm keeping my library, thank you very much
Online bills people. Eliminates the need to pay someone else!!!
Exactly what I thought. Who in 2018 is still getting so many paper bills? Save a tree people get online bills.
Makes complete sense for most people; however, there are some people like myself who "need" a physical reminder that a bill will be due soon.
I've tried reminders on my phone but with the push of a button there gone.
I've tried calendars on the wall but after a few weeks the calendar becomes an item in my house I am used to seeing and it often goes overlooked.
I've tried many things but nothing compares to a physical bill.
@@billielittle Why is it necessary for you to insult & demean people who do something different than you? I read your comment about your strategy but it didn't occur to me to write and say that you are wrong, you shouldn't do it that way, etc., just because your method doesn't work for me. I don't think my way of doing a task is "The Only Correct Way" so I would never denigrate you for doing it different than me. Does it affect you in any way how I deal with bill paying? No it doesn't. Nor does it affect me how you pay bills. So, can we please each go our own way, do our own thing, and nor insult each other?

@@kismyc0untryazz-491 Thank you. This is what works for me too. Recently my phone company started emailing my monthly bill.But didn't tell me. Suddenly I started getting phone calls about my 'overdue' bill -- let me say here that I always always always was very organized and paid all my bills on time...when I received them in the mail -- and the calls threatened me with fees, etc. I thought that maybe my check had not reached the company, but when I called to find out is when they told me about the automatic billing. I indicated that I did not agree to that -- for the obvious reason at hand -- but they said I had no choice. I did eventually find the email among my 60,825 emails! That is why it doesn't work for me.
I applaud other people who have different 'systems' that work for them. And just want to be left alone to do what works for me.
It's just so weird to me that Americans do their own taxes and presumably have to pay an accountant too! I didn't realise they do that in Canada too!
Telling people to get rid of their books is not smart. Books are a treasure that we can go back to again and again for inspiration, they are very precoius. She is contributing to the dumbing down of the USA when she tells people not to keep their books - I don't know how I would have survived without mine. DO NOT listen to this bad advice.
Xtine Johnes I so agree with you! I have collections of poems that I go back to now and again. I would never dream of throwing them away! OMG
Xtine Johnes agreed. I do not give away books, cds, movies etc. that l seriously & truly enjoy no matter what prof organizers say. I like prof organizers & I take some of their advice, definitely not all. U can always revisit a book, song, movie etc. at another time in ur life & see or hear something totally different that u didn't notice 1st time around. I'm very good at keeping my stash organized & donate all kinds of stuff quite a bit. But if l enjoy it, I'm keeping it. It takes 2 much time & energy to replace certain things with no guarantee of finding it again. I'm a music collector & they're some cds/songs r hard to find. I'm not getting rid of no collection l put alot of time & effort into just to save space. I'll create space somewhere else. So l do what works 4 me & l don't do everything that alot of them suggest cuz that's all it is, a prof suggestion.
Xtine Johnes take a look at the video again, because you didn't understand it. Of course you can keep your most valuable and favorite books and donate the others TO SPREAD THE KNOWLEDGE. Not "dumbing down" at all, but exactly the opposite.
Actually, you should keep ALL your books as they are one of the most valuable things your family owns. I know exactly what she was saying, to get rid of supposed "clutter" which she believes includes books and that's just not smart, nor is it a good to promote the value that books are "something that could be considered clutter" or "something you should get rid of". Books are treasures to be preserved in the family Library.
Xtine Johnes, that's XVII century thinking, when the books, by themselves, were "wealth indicators". It's not the same situation anymore. This is the XXI century and most part of the books can be better transmitted in digital format, avoiding the hoarding and keeping only the most important and beautiful ones on proper display and the valuable information still preserved.
Take this advice in order to save yourself of very complicated movings trying to accommodate 5 trailers of such "family treasures", hoarded during +100 years, into a livable space. A nightmare.
Around 250 really valuable books are a reasonable amount of paper to take care of. In this case, more and more is not the better.
Be generous with your local cultural societies (you can even just lend them a huge quantity of your books), save your personal space and keep the knowledge circulating.
My problem is that I do not wish to depart from ANYTHING!!!
So, how was this helpful, other than as an ad for Ivanka to get us to hire her?
Somd tidbits of help, but mostly, go to her web site so you can pay her to help you.
Many thanks, been searching for "house organizing" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Ponrooklyn Xeyichael Secret - (search on google )?
It is a great one off product for discovering how to declutter and keep your house tidy without the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my mate got cool success with it.
Try a REAL library!!! They have hardbacks, e-books (Kindle and audiobooks delivered over the internet). They even have book sales imagine that!!!
do all that or...
get an accountant🤣
