- My favorite part of this video starts at @3:45 - minimalism did not solve my clutter issues. In this video, you will learn 10 habits to declutter your whole house this year!
Erica Lucas focuses on providing decluttering inspiration, organization ideas, and real-life videos about my minimalism journey , slow living, and simple living.
Decluttering one drawer, one cabinet, or one space at a time makes it easier to manage stuff on daily basis. To start decluttering, I empty out the space, decide what I want to keep, then evaluate the unchosen items for decluttering, donation, keep, or trash. Join me as I declutter, organize, and our home in this video today!

Inspiration, grace, true life, genuine = Erica
Wow! 6ish years of decluttering and something finally clicked when you said “what emotion does the item hold”. We were always taught to not give an item emotion to make it easier to declutter. I just looked around my living room and saw a few things that made me frustrated. There, GONE! What a lightbulb 😆
Erica, I appreciate your gentle calmness so much. I love how you allow space for grace and emotions in your journey to a more simple life, and you inspire us to do likewise. I have one "difficult" box left to deal with from when my mum died just over 4 years ago - this weekend, I'm going to give myself grace and the gift of working through that box.
Thank you Erica! You have shown me the questions to ask when I am Decluttering. I have decluttered 2 6 foot closets down to 1 closet with room to spare. I had been trying to declutter things I have had for decades. The emotions of getting rid of things you have had so long it is hard to deal with. You are helping sooooo much!
You can do it!
Wow Erica. You give fabulous advice and practical tips, alongside raw self-analysis. And you do it all in 10 minutes! Bravo. Perfect amount of time and detail to keep this squirrel brain of mine engaged lol. Thank you.
Reached a level yesterday: walking out of thrift store with 1 item only. Genuinely didn't want more and actually purchased the one item I'd been shopping for where typically 1 item then equals, "might as well get this and this too". 😊 just had a moment afterwards where I realized I felt the wanting of less...
Over Christmas I went back and watched some of your first videos again, wow, that basement! I don’t miss a video and look forward to your next ones❤It is so inspiring and brings my heart so much joy for you and your family to see all your hard work and the progress you’ve made, all while caring about your online family enough to share your journey and help us. May God bless you abundantly! I’m rooting for you down here in the great state of Texas!🤗
Thank you! May God bless you, too!
I love how practical, reasonable and balance your approach is. 🥰
Happy New Year to you and yours. I'm impressed that you keep fighting the clutter. It's a monster scratching at the door.
Erica, glad you are continuing to share your fantastic advice with those who need it, especially in the New Year as most people begin the “New Year - New You - Better life” process. Having watched you from the beginning, I can easily recommend your channel to other people and vouch that the advice you give in your videos is worthwhile and thoughtful, built on the experience of having gone through the process and done the hard work yourself. I have gleaned some great advice from you over the years and loved watching you grow and your lifestyle progress to a healthier and more balanced place.
Thank you Beth!
Yes! I have a tote right outside my garage door and I can open the door throw stuff in so it’s out of site until I leave the house then I can throw it in the trunk and go drop it off. Sometimes when it’s getting full I’ll post the items in my local free stuff group and I don’t even have to go drop it off
I loved the part on naming the emotions! That will be super helpful in me paring down even more this year. Thank you!
Amazing to look back at that old footage (where I first found you). You are doing amazing! ❤
Much like body dysmorphia, I feel I have clutter dysmorphia, my home is amazing, I clean and maintain decluttering, but I still have anxious thoughts when someone is coming over.
Thank you Erica! I have devluttered clothes from 2 6 foot closets to 1! And there is room left over . Thank you for showing me the questions I need to ask myself and dealing with emotions of letting go of things that I have had for decades!
You are glowing in this video. Hair, shirt,all lovely on you! Great color for you.
I’ve been with you since the beginning and wow! You have come so far!!! Happy new year 💕
Appreciate the straight, real talk about each person has to declutter for themselves. They have to make those decisions. Seems we live in a culture that thinks they can hire that element out and the distinction between organization and decluttering/maintenance needs to be made 👍
I recall your video back then. 5 years! Wow!
You have come a long ways.
Right now I’m struggling with my dog who passed away in July. Had her for 15 years. ( since 8 weeks old). I o ok caked everything and put it on the shelf. I’m not ready yet.
Thank you for your advice. I will watch next video.
Merry Christmas ( 12 days of Christmas) and A Blessed New year 2024.
Thank you, Erica. I've been watching you for a few years . This year i have decided to declutter my home. It has taken me a long time to come to terms with what ive been doing. Thank you for helping me understand iam not alone. Xxx
I enjoy watching your videos Erica because you are always very real. You also show how important it is to forgive ourselves and to be flexible enough to change things up if we feel something isn’t working. I’m curious what your organizing style is. Mine is ladybug so the open shelving in living room would not work for me. A butterfly wouldn’t mind it. As I continue to declutter and organize certain spaces, I try to go w my organizing style otherwise whatever is left still bothers me!
Need all the habits right now - we're moving house after living here for 12+ years .... I don't even know what the new place will be like (my biggest worry is even finding somewhere to be honest... so scared. The rental crisis is intense.) Thanks so much for sharing! ❤ Mel in Australia 🇦🇺🦘🐨
That is stressful! I wish you luck. You can do this!!!!!
Love this video . I’m going to watch it again and again ❤️
How wonderful!!
Love your videos! This past year has been a doozy for me and I really want to declutter. I have realized how much stuff I have that is for my “fantasy” self. I’m still just looking at things but after this video I feel like I can start. I wrote the list down and will use it!
Happy New Year Erica! 🎉
I have been watching since 2019. You have come a long way, baby. Be proud of your accomplishments ❤️
Happy New Year to you and your lovely family Erica! I still love your videos having watched from the “basement of doom” days! You always made me feel I could do it too. You are so authentic and relatable!
Am simplifying my social media in 2024 but you and one other channel are still on my allowable list!!!!!
Sending love & hugs!

❤thank you so much Erica 🕊 good to see you❤
Happy new year. I really like the advice to remind yourself why you are doing it, it puts your priorities back in sight when making tedious decisions
That's a great list to start off the new year!
Happy New Year! Thank you for sharing your research, your journey, and your honesty. You're an inspiration 🌟🎆
We do live a relatively minimalist lifestyle, and yet my husband and I like to watch your videos together - because every time we get off the couch and “optimize” yet another spot in our house. Or we just get off the couch 😂😂😂 Without clutter, our living space can be “reset” in mere minutes, and the house almost cleans itself 🤔
I have watched you for years and 😮 wow have you ever come a long way! Happy New Year 🎊🎈🎆
Of all the declutterers I watch, you have the most checklists. They look cool and on point. What advice do you have for those of us who don't have the knack for making them? I think it would be immensely helpful. Thanks for your delightful and heartfelt videos!
She has some available on her website. Also, screen shot it and then go make your version using hers as a jumping off point 😉
Happy New Year! There is a bag at the bottom/top of the stairs, along with small notebook and pen to leave notes for future me to remember to do/take. I am working bin by bin, drawer by drawer...what I had to have last month so many times is out the door next month - once I can see things clearly...the clutter blindness is so true - once a level of it is gone, I "see" things. :) Here's to Virtual Coffee with You!! Thank you for another year of helping us all organize & declutter! ☕☕💞
One of the best videos you have done! You are such an inspiration!
Your channel helps me make decisions so much. Everything takes so much thought. Thank you for helping me think.
Erica.. I moved 95% of the games I know we will always keep into clear bags and then stack them in a basket. I combined extension sets with main games instead of having eg 3 huge game boxes.. I just have one (by removing the unnecessary divider in the original box). I only keep the games in boxes that I know we will donate later when the kids grow out of it. It reduced the storage space needed by about 70%.
I just have a trash bag in my bedroom and put donations in it. I put it in front of the closet I use to store my seasonal decor. I have done multiple decluttering passes.
I've said it before, and I'll repeat it now...I'm expecting a book about your experience! Looking forward to it! Blessings for a great New Year for you and your dear family.
Girl you're hair looks fantastic. Good ideas here.
Thanks for sharing!
Loving the why in MD!
Great video!
Erica, I watched your video right after I woke this morning. I know it helps the algorithm to comment right away after publication but couldn't quite formulate the words. Now, this evening, I want to tell you how much your words mean to me. You have a gentle way of prying open my thought processes. It seems we are on a similar place in decluttering. Kinda the middle. House looks good, easier to manage, but plenty of life happening meanwhile that creates a mess. I so appreciate your gentle ways, your encouragement, your tips. I do appreciate you. 🌻🍄
I am so glad you are here with me!
So good! emotional worth. Wow. intense :) Thanks for a great video!
The shoes got me. I used to only wear sketchers. They fit well and i could run around all day at work and no foot pain. Then somewhere after the 3rd yr they did something over at sketchers ...i suspect they put those stupid memory foam soles in them...and they were not rhe same. They wore out much quicker . But i really liked the rainbow of colors so i held on to them. I had a crap ton of shoes i never wore. I still had my white K swiss shoes from nursing school over a decade ago! I just pulled them all out. Put 10 on fb market place and sold them in 2 hours. I had 11 more...so i offered them to that same buyer and they wanted them. Cha ching. I was going to donate them anyway. I had finally resolved i needed to let them go. And we went out to dinner with the momey. Win win.
Your hair looks beautiful
Just keeping a daily tidying done and getting daily stuff done is a full time job. Each item had an emotion is so true. Can't use a printer because they no longer make ink for it is so ick. Starting to buy cheaper products because of this.
Wonderful video Erica! I've been following you since you're original struggle was posted. You've made incredible progress!
Fyi- Just want to let you know that when you point to a video to follow up with at the end of this reel, unfortunately there is nothing featured there.
❤
This is a great video! Is your weekly cleaning schedule available as a PDF?
😊
I'm curious why you don't put a donatable bin or box on your donate shelf?
Aoh my glory I have 3 pairs same exact shoe one for work [hurt my feet] one newer to go.out shopping and last perfect new pair ...just cuz
What do you use to clean stainless steel?
♥️👍
My house is cluttered at the moment because I am in the process of putting away Christmas stuff. It's just temporary.
My 'donations' box is kept by my back door in my garage! I don't need the clutter (visual and physical) in my house. It also gives everyone the opportunity to look in the box and reclaim an item if need be.
I'm totally stealing your weekly check list!
Wait 😳 i just started the video and ur saying #2 but what was #1!? 😭 Ill keep watching and hopefully figure it out!! 😅
Ooooh I was confused bc I saw #6 on the donation bin part at beginning and then you talked about what the video is about and then the clip introducing yourself and then it was #2! 🤣 Maybe I need a second cup of coffee!! 🤭🤭
No.1 was to designate a spot for items you're decluttering i.e. her spot is a shelf in her laundry room where she collects items to be decluttered. This is at very beginning of video before all of her intro. 😊❤
Hi Erica! I’m curious have you or your husband ever taken the Clutterbug quiz? I’m curious about which bugs your husband and you would be. 😊
I’m a butterfly! I am not sure about Andy but now I’m curious!
I just have to laugh at your intro now... Because back when i started watching your channel when it was new, there was nothing intentional or simple in your living style.
The only thing I'm sad about is that since you guys move every five minutes (lol) you can't do a side by side shot of each room now.
I can't even imagine what all of your hard work has done to your family budget!!!
