I was bored.
I always look for this comment! You're my savior!🙏🙏🙏
Thank you!!
Not all heroes wear capes 🥰
It was supposed to be 50 videos. Read description box.
(Looks kinda rude, didn't want it to be)
Thanks !
I agree with most except the alarm clock. It’s too easy to jump on the internet and texts can interrupt sleep even when on silent. A nice old alarm clock means a break from the phone. At least in our home. Love your tips and always looking to live with less.
That’s totally fair! I usually choose to put my phone on airplane mode though. The alarm still rings, but I don’t receive texts and cants surf the web 💙
Definitely agree, that was the only one where I thought I did never declutter an alarm clock, I try not to use my phone firs thing in the morning.
Same here. No phone allowed in the bedroom. Using my smart watch (in airplane mode of course) to wake me up without noise.
Totally agree. I love my clocks... and I don't even have a smartphone. ; )
Should really read the book Zapped: why your phone shouldn't be your alarm clock. That's what scared me from using phone as an alarm clock. HORRIBLE for your brain!
Definitely still donate your incomplete board games, don’t throw those away! eBay sellers will buy them and sell individual pieces online so that someone who lost a piece to a beloved game can just order a replacement. This keeps a lot of stuff out of the waste stream!
Oh cool! I didn’t know that was a thing! :)
I did not know that! I have an old cluedo game I should do that with!
Yeah especially since that lord of the rings stratego is $84 on Amazon!
Oh wow! I had no idea! How neat! I'd say to put a postit or something on the box that says "Missing pieces" though... same with puzzles.
Donate where?
I'm with you on the whole "word signs" stuff. If I see "Live Laugh Love" again anytime soon, I might actually vomit a little. Thanks for mentioning this!
Hahaha I’m so with you on that 😂
HAHAHAHAH
hahahah! me too!
Lol, I have it in my living room. I was thinking of changing that :)
I agree. I feel like it's one of those things that is so overdone that it has literally lost its meaning.
Former school Nurse, here! If people have a lot of extra toiletries (unused!), you might consider donating them to a school Nurse's office (please call and ask first!). I had teachers that would do this - and there are always kids who have zero support at home from their parents. These items can literally change their school experience!
yes and you can donate them to homeless and battered women's shelters
Since i got more interested in the zero waste movement, i find it harder to declutter, because i feel bad for all of the things that go to the trash 😳 The way i try to act now is, if i want to declutter something, i try to use it up, toss the container and try not to rebuy it afterwards :)
That’s a great way of thinking! ☺️ I think being conscious about donating, recycling, gifting, etc. is a great way to approach it! Throwing stuff away should be a last resort 💙
I definitely try to sell or give away or donate an item first. Your trash can be somebody's treasure
totally agree!!!! i feel realllllly reallllly bad throwing stuff out. and i am trying to use it but i just can't use it... :( like new brushes and stuff... ahhhhh
thats a really good point!
I feel the same :( I want to have less stuff and have open space but also not create waste...these two go hand in hand once you have just a few items in your life, but when you are starting zero waste&minimalism at the same time it can be really hard
Dang, so many critical comments people...how about go ahead and de clutter your negative thought process and just keep the thoughts that spread love and acceptance...lol
You’re so sweet 💙
ABSOLUTELY! BRAVO! More love, less harping.
This girl has worked very hard on this presentation. Sometimes were most critical of someone who is attempting to reach a goal, in an area that we've never succeeded and reaching. So, maybe we should experience what she's trying to do, then judge her value. Or, at least the value of her presentation. I hope she doesn't read these negative comments. I personally enjoyed her. I try to learn something from anyone I think may know something I don't know. God bless.
Amy Chapman totally agreed wif u 😊 blessed all 🙏🏻✌🏻
Amy Chapman this is great 😂😂❤️
Old towels and wash cloths are something I use when I wash and dry my little dog. I have also layered them and sewed them together to make cushy mats for her to lay on. She is my little princess. 😊💜
Love that you’ve found another use for them!! 💙
That's nice for your little princess. 🙂
You can also donate old towels, sheets and blankets to your local SPCA. They use them to dry the animals, but also to make bedding for the kennels.
Yes, i like these ideas ...I donated my old ratty yoga mat as the first layer in a very comfy dog bed, for my pup. The cats like it too, fun to claw.
@@gisele2926 I would never throw away a bed sheet. They can be drop clothes, covers for things and when we dog sit the granddogs they love to push them into piles for naps. Old sheets have a hundred uses.
I don’t know why people don’t understand what decluttering truly is. Just because she says de clutter, doesn’t mean she’s telling you to throw perfectly good items away. You can easily try to sell them our give them away.
Love this!
The moral of the story: think before you buy.
TRUE!!
But i always forget this ,whenever i go to market 😆
It's called clickbait
word signs like "i'd rather be at the beach" drive me insane
YES!! 100% agree 😂
unless you have a beach house or condo
I only have one that says « you’re not drinking alone if your cat is home » and I love it haha
I love that sign because it's true
Anything cliché is bad.
My alarm clock is so crucial to me. I’ve got anxiety and I used to wake up in a panic, checking due dates and emails and old texts in the middle of the night. Since I switched my morning alarm to an alarm clock and started leaving my phone in the living room to charge, I sleep through the night and am actually able to get up early in the morning.
I don't think you guys understand what she means by de clutter. If you don't use something now, you probably won't use it later so just declutter it. And by declutter, this doesn't just mean throw it away. you can give it away, sell it, or donate it. And just take everything with a grain of salt. Everyone is different so you might love every one of your 37 mugs but other people only use their one favorite so they don't need the other 36. Also while your out it, declutter your negative attitude.
In
We had 18 coffee mugs in our RV. Finally figured out we never have 16 guests in there when we're camping! LOL
I collect mugs, but I did give some away with coffee which makes a great gift
Great comment!
👌👌👌
If your going to have an alarm clock get one you love... Some things just look cool and are functional... a phone is mostly a distraction now days. Declutter your phone off your bedside table so you don't get a bad nights sleep from watching youtube at night.
I love this idea! I am a huge believer in surrounding yourself with things you love. 😊 Alternatively, if you’re going to use your phone, one thing that works for me is putting it into airplane mode. The alarm still works just fine but it keeps you from using Internet.
I thought the same thing, a phone is a distraction for me so I have an alarm clock. I recommend buying an alarm clock that takes up little space. Mine fits in the palm of my hand and it's still quite loud. Just make more space for yourself, and youre still minimalist lol!
No, you need 4 cookie sheets: use them 2 at a time, so that each time you take a batch of cookies out of the oven, swap in with the pair that is still room temperature. Putting cookie dough on hot sheets doesn't work at all.
That's exactly what I do! And while I'm working on a batch, my daughter starts another and we switch place. Nicole
PS this is what I don't like about her list: You don't need more than... YOU DON'T KNOW how much I need!
Haha i never make cookies so i wouldnt think of that
Seriously if you don't want to be there all night!!
Felicia Betancourt lol what? i only use 2
The Peddler Good thing this is just a You Tube video and she doesn’t actually control
Your life. Whew!
I decluttered four sets of sheets, 20 shirts, two pants and three long sleeves , and 6 books this week !
But I had neighbors who were grateful to have them all!
You will buy new ones next week lol
Amazing!
take a shot every time she says “go ahead and declutter it.”
Ro Gray 100 shots
I’m about to die of poisoning
Could you make this (and the next list of 50) into a text list in the summary or as a PDF? Would make it MUCH easier to go through it as a checklist.
Absolutely!!! That’s a great idea ☺️
oh my goodness yes - so I can walk around the house and happily tick away!!!
Yes please! I am a list lover and this would help so much.
Why don't you just get a pen & paper and write it down for yourself...still a good method of learning and retaining 💜
Irish Claddagh there's always people like u.... smh
Maybe keep your juicer (if you do drink juice) and make a pledge to USE it - the homemade juice is better for you and buying fewer cartons/bottles is better for the planet 😊🌍
I had downsized my closet tremendously. I had gotten rid of many bottles of lotion, face wash, bodywash, makeup, kitchen utensils, and so much more. I haven't completely went full on minimalist yet but I'm getting there.
American decluter videos always make me giggle : "Limit your cookie trays to three".
Omg I CANNOT comprehend having more than one :D #justeuropeanthings
guglesiezjebaly 😂
I don't even think you can buy only one in American stores. They come in packs of three. 🤷♀️
Same!!!
I'm in U.S. and some people I know regularly contribute to bake sales for church and school. Those people are allowed to have more than one cookie sheet.
I, however, am not. I bake maybe five times a year at most, and only for my family and maybe a neighbor.
literally! americans trying to lead a minimalist lifestyle is how europeans live in general
Your attitude is so beautiful I subscribed in the first 50 seconds. Your aura is glowing, keep being that lovely flower of positivity *.*
i get the idea that my phone can be multifunctional, but honestly i don't want my phone next to bed and therefore i use a basic alarm clock while my phone stays in my living room at night. (just athought)
I totally understand that reasoning!! I guess whether you want to do that or not is really a personal choice. For me, putting my phone in airplane mode is sufficient ☺️
We collect magnets from our travels :) easy and small travel trinket that adds some cool functionality and decor to our kitchen
Extra sheets are a necessity when you are really sick and sweat through them multiple times a night. Then you are too sick to do laundry for every sheet...
That’s why I recommend keeping an extra pair, maybe two for guests. But you shouldn’t need many
Ashlynne Eaton Sometimes, when you are very sick and you sweat so much that you need to change them daily, you might need more than the 2-3 pairs of sheets. But for most people, 2-3 should be plenty. Everyone knows what's best for them but it's a good idea to keep things at a minimum.
Kiki Lula u
Sheets don't take up that much space,you never know when you will need extra and they are expensive to buy.
@@AshlynneEaton I grew up with two sets of sheets per bed. As an adult I still have two pair per bed. Part due to space and part because I just do not see the need.
Not some bad ideas, however little things like faded prints on cups for example what’s wrong with that? If you don’t want them, then you donate them what makes you think anyone else would want them? Why don’t you just use the things you have until there broken? why get rid of them just because there not pretty anymore? That’s just wasteful.I don’t mean to sound critical but I just dont like throwing things out just because it’s not as attractive when I first bought it. If i did that with the things i own my hubby would have been donated along time ago. 😁 you did have some good ideas though. 👍🏻
I agree with you there’s no need to declutter them if you don’t have too many. I meant that more for people who have tons and tons of mugs to begin with and are wanting to simplify and reduce how many they have :)
some people just don't like ugly old faded mugs lol. just because i don't want something doesn't mean someone else won't want it. that's one of the main reasons people donate stuff- it doesn't bring them joy but it will bring joy to someone else. it's not wasteful if you're donating it. :) also she prefaced this video by saying not everything will apply to everyone- if it doesn't apply to you, move on to the next one instead of getting stuck on one item!:)
I decluttered things that I've never bought again because I realized i would probably end up decluttering them. So its not like you buy a new mug when you declutter and old one.
I’ve learned that shelters, community kitchens and such can use mugs! Theirs are heavily used and need frequent replacement.
Sigh... the idea decluttering is to get rid of stuff you have too much of. It is NOT getting rid of imperfect things in order to replace them.
That was a blender not a juicer. Blenders are extremely useful!
I know 😂 I just didn’t have a juicer I could use as an example, so I used my blender instead
I live in South Africa. And I’m not dirt poor. But not filthy rich either. Everything you have mentioned. I’ve been living this way since forever lol maybe mention. Don’t buy anything on credit. Don’t ever spend money you don’t have. Cut up your clothing account cards and credit cards. Just have one credit card for emergencies. You will feel free when you don’t have debt.
Keep in mind that in some places it is important to spend on credit or take loans now and again because that is how you build a credit score. Just make sure they are amounts you can afford to pay back over time.
Shux_Delux that’s true. A loan on a car you need for example. Is one of the best ways to build a good credit score. Making sure you pay every instalment on time without fail. But some people can’t afford a monthly car payment. Renting and paying on time every month can still help with a good credit score, But definitely not on clothing accounts. Or loans to pay off existing debts... it would be a vicious cycle. But like you said. Make sure you can afford a loan.
Animal shelterslike to get used towels
yes! I donate all my towels to the animal shelter.
Susan Behring yes!!
My vets office takes them too. They use them in cages for the pets to lay on.
Can we just respect the fact that her hair is ON POINT and that she spent the time to make this video!!!
I call bullshit in spices! There is always that recipe that comes along and has some weird arse spice and I’m glad I had that spice that o haven’t used in 6 month. Spices don’t got off for ages so what is the hard in keeping them.
In my mums kitchen we play 'best before date' roulette. Basically we go through the spice rack and look for the oldest date 😂 I genuinely do use those spices when I go home and cook though
As a spice merchant myself, I will encourage you to be mindful of how old the spices are. You will get the best flavor in the first year, with the exception of a few things like ground ginger and cardamom. Those flavors fade pretty quickly and taste best if used within 3 months. But getting fresh spices is the key. Grocery store spices are old af.
Spices lose flavor after 6-8 months. Why keep the 4 year old parsley when it will have absolutely no flavor?
I had 2 super cute vases in my shopping cart but once I got to the check out counter, I had put them back. I feel so proud of myself. Now if I can get rid of the 300 I already own, that'd be great...lol
Sabrina Parker Maybe give them away as gifts with clearance flowers from your grocery store
I'm actually listening to this while decluttering my room
If your food is in date and still safe to use (particularly if it's something you've used once and didn't like), it's worth checking to see if any friends or homeless shelters can make use of it.
I give it back to my children; they eat everything. OR when I prepare to leave for an extended period, I do the same. Nicole
Ive been getting into zero waste as well and I’m trying to use up anything I can before “decluttering” it but I do want to get into minimalism
Alright. I've been counting. The number of items out of your list that I actually own: *four*
Guess I'm alright.
Haha I’d say you’re doing well ☺️
It's such a coincidence I'm watching this on the 24th of August 2019....when I just intend to get into minimalism
Ditto.
I like these sorts of videos because they remind me of things that I may have stuffed away in a cupboard and forgotten about like leaky travel mugs. I think I have about 5 in the back of my kitchen cupboard and I did keep them until I got one that didn't leak but now I do have a leak proof one so I can throw those other ones out! I also appreciated you saying to delcutter what's right for you personally. Sometimes when watching videos I feel guilty because things that other people wouldn't have, I do, but it's what's useful to me. At this point I'm trying to be more mindful of the things I own and the amount of things I own/new things I buy. This was a really good video! Thank you for putting in the time and effort to make it.
I have a box in my house and throughout the month I add items I decide to declutter. Then it goes to the combined local food pantry/community charity. Its a win/win/win. I get to declutter without guilt/a charity gets support and donations/ppl in need get what they need at no cost! Another perk is its not going to the landfill!!
Thanks for this vid. I am moving more towards minimalism and this was extremely helpful.
i might be wrong but isnt decluttering all of this causing tons of trash? i rather reuse my stuff and try to find new purposes for them because most of this stuff it isnt possible to donate. but thank you for your thoughts and ideas 👌🏼
Buying too much in the first place just because it's cheap is the root cause of waste. Thoughtless purchases of poor quality items that wear out quickly or break easily, especially if they can't be recycled, is the real problem. I don't go to the shops unless I need something specific, I go buy that item then get out of there.
Declutter doesnt mean throwing out, it means riding of your life. Whether it be selling, donating, or passing on. Not necessarily throwing out ❤
I declutter by putting things in my basement, so no. Lol
Some of these comments have me questioning if people actually watched the entire video haha. I'm definitely going to be trying these out! I started with my closet yesterday- I literally have an entire spare bedroom for a closet that I had shelving and clothing racks installed in to store all my clothes. So, yesterday I donated/sold/gave away OVER 300 ITEMS in clothing alone. I feel like such a weight is lifted off my shoulders! It's incredible how much propaganda can influence us if we aren't being aware. At least others will find joy in the items I let go of, but it was definitely a lesson learned for me. I'm excited for this new way of life.
Sarahtopian Yes I also realized I was hoarding clothes not just in my closet but in 2 spare bedrooms AND a clothing rack in the basement! Gave away all that stuff! It kind of hurt knowing how much money I threw away but I’m ready to tackle other clutter now!
Dude that’s so amazing! Love that you’re trying to learn through this decluttering process and congrats on being 300 items lighter in your life ☺️
Well done,!!🇦🇺🎉🌹👌
This was exactly what I needed to get unstuck! The specifics gave me a great place to begin and build momentum. Thanks!
I'm so glad I watched your video. I've been trying for the last few years to let go and down size 25+ years of accumulation. I'm not a hoarder but definitely had unneeded multiples of items. Also went from a family of 6 plus a granddaughter and daughter in law all living in my home to a divorced empty nester. I am proud to say I've gotten rid of many of the items you mentioned. Still have older cotton sheets that are softer than anything I have bought in an attempt to replace them. I guess the new ones just need to go into the donate pile along with a few flat pillows ☺. I hate to get rid of unused pots or pans that are part of an expensive set tho 😕 Honestly tho your suggestions are so practical. I truly enjoyed your video. It helped me realize I have made lots of progress yet have more I can eliminate or scale down. Thanx
Why should one get rid of threadbare towels? My advice is to just use them as long as possible. I have only (super)old towels and use them as long as they are able to dry me. I have a simple circulation system to be able to use all of them. Don't throw away functional stuff, just don't buy too much and useless stuff in the first place.
By that I meant more that people often buy new towels and hold onto their old ones. In my opinion, if you’re going to replace something, replace it completely. That being said, I’m definitely a fan of getting something’s full use before replacing it. Hope that helps explain it! :)
With three senior dogs in our house, we use our old towels for puppy messes. It's not their fault they're old. Lol.
You could re - use the old ones for cleaning rags, I do that with some clothes that are too old or nonfunctional to donate.
A lot of it has to do with storage space. If your bathroom closet is bursting with towels, it makes sense to remove the lower quality ones
Once you start decluttering, your buying habits drop to zero because you think of having to get rid of that item some day. I've been at this for a little over six months, and during that time I bought one paper towel dispenser (made more room on the kitchen counter).
Old board-games even if they have missing pieces can often be sold. There are collectors and other people who love these games who maybe can find their missing piece in your game 😊
That’s a great idea!
I have been on a HUGE minimalist kick since spring when I started my spring cleaning. I'm still "Spring cleaning" LOL I love how you say "just de-clutter it", much better than throwing it all in the trash bin. I had a huge multi family garage sale in Aug and will have another one this month. Everything that never sold will be donated to a thrift store. So many items on your list I have gone thru already. It is amazing how much more you can still get rid of third round.....I went through my closet this past week for 3rd time since spring and still got rid of more clothes :) Totally agree with the DVD and CD collections. I had over 200 of each and the space it took up. So freeing not to be controlled by so much "Stuff"! Looking frwd to your next 50 things and decluttering even more. If these 100 items were listed on PDF would be awesome for future reference :) Thank you for sharing.
I love, love, love this video! I've been procrastinating decluttering my house for a while and finding this video has definitely inspired me to do it before 2020. Thank you so much for this list! 😚💕💕💕
Great, realistic list that just reminded me how such stuff I have. I need get back into the decluttering game.
Haha yes! I’m planning on doing the 30 Minimalism Game soon myself!
👍🏼 Thank you for this! I work at Homegoods and the temptation to buy everything is real! I’d rather save my supplemental pay for experiences. ❤️❤️
Are used to work in a department store so I 100% understand that struggle! Keep in mind that goal and it will really help though! 💙
This actually made me feel really good because I do many of the things you suggested and the other things I haven't done are great food for thought. Thank you.
Although the phrase "just go ahead and declutter it" is used for pretty much every item and seems like it's overused I actually appreciate it because oftentimes the only thing that is holding us back from getting rid of something is the permission to do so. So thank you Ashlynne for using this phrase over and over again.
good tips, thanks. But some suggestions like "to throw away perfectly fine items f.e. food you don't like" I don't get - have you thought of the amount of waste that your tips are creating?
Before I edited this down (because it was 40 minutes long to begin with) I mentioned that food like that should be donated to a food pantry, given to a friend, etc. I definitely believe that outright throwing it out should be a last resort
Mirjana C. We have a thrift store that you can take stuff to and make a little money on the side for it instead of throwing it away. Or donate food to giveaway pantry.
it is HARD to denote food that has been consumed partly, i don't know how homeless or people feel about this who is "receiving" sometimes throwing it out just makes sense. donating them would be a bit.... a concern , even that food cannot be contaminated or cannot be bad maybe it was just a pack of cookies that is perfectly good . still people who receive this may NOT think that way. maybe on the street , people actually wants food might appreciate it. but donating to a proper place seemed to be a bit weird. although i am having hard time getting rid of candies or things i got from friends, or souvenirs i got from traveling ... decluttering is hard, it is a constant fighting between --- wastage and stuff that i never used... been here since a year.. 2 years...3 years.. sometimes longer... :(
well, if it's food she isn't going to eat then it's going to go bad anyway and that's just 100% waste. but if she gives it to someone else, someone else can consume it- which is not waste.
So she should eat food she doesnt like?
Holy 💩 people, sleep with your phone on airplane mode! So many alarm clock lovers here 😂😂💩
This is an inspirational list! Just because she said go ahead and declutter doesn't mean you immediately have to throw it out or die! Use your common sense, if it still has use for you then hold onto it, if however, your house is a tip then go ahead and declutter. People these days I dunno.
paula mcclelland airplane mode has saved my life!! I think most of the people hear don’t know what minimalism is or aren’t serious about it. I agreed with everything on this list. Why do you need 5 coffee mugs?? Why do you need old food??
@@BLVRDbeats totally 😉😉 it's all common sense, something that seems to be disappearing quickly these days 💜
Your pithy comments will motivate aspiring declutterers to get stuck in. 🙂 Hehehe
I'm decluttering and I love your specific item by item approach. I'm actually doing pretty well, I'm getting to all of that. I'm looking forward to the next 50 list.
As SOON as you said flat pillows I thought "oh this is my type of girl!" haha! Yesss!
Keeping phones, or any electronics, near you while sleeping disrupts your sleep patterns. :( Look it up. We use a wind up clock. Thanks for the video. Good encouragement.
I have to disagree with the alarm clock. I feel that mobile phones in the bedroom are a distraction from relaxation, sleep and relationships. I like to leave my phone on charge outside the bedroom and use an alarm clock instead. That way I m more encouraged to read a book before going to sleep and hey, even talk to my husband rather than us both sitting there on our phones!
Im pleasantly surprised by all the comments about people not sleeping next to their phones
Electro magnetic field alters brain waves, disturbs sleep. Keep phone and tablet away at night. Some can pass through walls. Some do not.
This was very helpful to me! I grew up kind of poor, and moved around a lot, so most of my childhood items got left behind each time, so it manifested in me holding on to things in my adulthood. I realize that keeping some of these things is ridiculous, so I'm working on decluttering my life!
this is freaking outstanding! thanks so much for posting this! I will definitely be going through my things and decluttering a LOT!
Listening to this whilst decluttering
Love it ☺️
Why get reed of a perfectly usable mug only because of the discoloration?
Nefeli Kousi I think this video is just to inspire people to get rid of clutter. It is ok to have a collection of magnets or mugs as long as you really enjoy it. For me I would rather have the extra space because my kitchen is small.
@@imatleast12 ok. My comment was about not decluttering things that are not clutter.
Nefeli Kousi I just think it is a matter of perspective on what clutter is. If it means something to you then it isn’t clutter.
Your personality is so fun and bubbly! Thanks for these reminders and tips! I feel encouraged!
A lot of the things on the list I have already decluttered. Haha. But helpful list. Especially the idea “keep what you love, not just like.” Thanks.
NOT THE WINE BOTTLE OPENER!!! Haha. Great list, for sure things to think about.
That was just an example. Personally, I find them very helpful to have though ☺️
Thank you so much for these. Looks like I have to work on a few of these now.
Good luck!! Hope they provided some inspiration 💙
Thank you so much, new subscriber here and honestly you have helped me so much re think the things I have! Got rid of so many of the items from your list especially from the kitchen! Wow you really don’t realise how much you keep until you actually go through it all. I asked myself when was the last time this was used and if it wasn’t 6-12 months it needed to go!
Love this video! Btw, I live in America and we don’t have expired medication bc we can’t afford it in the first place 😂
It’s SO EXPENSIVE!!
😹
True. But also most a still effective long after the printed expiration date. Everyone I know uses “old” medicine. So long as it’s not ancient or ineffective.
Also, perfume can last indefinitely! I’ve never been one to buy cheap perfume so maybe hers is different, but a good perfume will last a very long time. People collect vintage perfume!
Expired food isn't anything you should immediately throw away. Usually the food in the pantry is good much longer than the expiration date. If you find expired food, then find some recipes to use it in the near future.
Yep, I used an unopened yogurt container in a recipe and it was still good after 2 months. I forgot about it because it was in the back. I took a chance, tasted it and it was fine. Nicole
Good thing to learn while you are young. I had stuff under my bed I had not looked at for 5 years. Moving. It is all gone. Light feels better . New years resolution. No collecting stuff. Bought 1 new sheet set, and one set for sleeper couch.
Typically I watch these types of videos with the intent of being inspired to clean and declutter my apartment, then just continue going about my day. But your video / reasoning actually gave me great ideas and motivated me to get rid of a ton of stuff! Thank you for the awesome tips!!
Love it!! So glad it motivated you to start decluttering!
Amazing!!! So helpful for someone Who is super cluttered trying to go minimalist 🙌 ..... ish haha
That’s so awesome! This is definitely a good place to start :)
theres nothing wrong with discolored mugs..what. Discolored does not mean non-functional...
Declutter clearly means different things to different people. To me that means it finds a new home (via sale, donate or Freecycle) or if it's broken/useless and can be recycled it goes to a recycling centre. If it's crap or broken and can't be fixed or recycled it goes in the bin. The trick is to be mindful of what you buy in the first place - consider if it's necessary, a good quality build that will last a long time and how it can be recycled when it reaches its end of life. There's too much cheap junk out there, if we stop buying crap then manufacturers will stop making it. Thanks for this video Ashlynne, I found it helpful x
I always like this types of videos, because they give ideas onto 'what' to get rid of next, that maybe i hadn't thought before.
great video 🌺 I'm excied for the next 50 things 😊
It’s coming soon! ☺️
Can you make a pdf of the 100 items that we can dowload and print ? 😊
For sure! The second video will have it!
@@AshlynneEaton thanks a lot !! :-)
You can take a screen picture of each item as the video goes and then you can make a photo album on your phone and go through it and our brains work great by seeing it as well
Decluttering is so empowering! I love your ideas and will definitely keep this in mind to simplify my life!
This was really a great reminder. Several of them were things that I am totally on top of but others were things that I am guilty of holding on to. Good Job.
Great declutter ideas! Much more original ideas than the ideas in most “x things to declutter” videos.
Thanks 💙 I got most of the inspiration from things I’ve decluttered myself!
The problem with using a phone for your alarm is you have to have your phone in your sleeping space. Which is not good for you and can affect your sleep quality. Alarm clocks are useful for this reason.
@Caryn Gibson My phone automatically switches to night mode and is completely silent other than the alarm, so nobody would get me if they called anyway. I only switched to using my phone for my alarm because it's a lot easier to adjust than my alarm clock. (For the purpose of your question, the answer is "no", and it wouldn't make a difference which room housed my phone overnight.)
yes I needed this list! we are moving soon and I wanted to declutter before moving... less to move! THanks
That was great. Happy and relieved to say that I already don't have most of those!! Now, going to check part 2 ;)
Can you do a video on how you digitally organize your paperwork?
Yeah definitely! I think that’s an awesome idea :)
I need to to declutter 100,000 things before 2019 🤣
Wow, love this vid! It's really inspiring me to go through the stuff in my room!
Great video and terrific tips. Thanks for posting this!
Fridge magnets we collect them, as Hubby travels around the world, so wherever he goes he gets them, gonna put thm on a magnetic board at some point though heheh
Really loved this list, but I feel like from a sustainability point of view simply saying "go ahead and declutter it" implies you have to responsibility to pass on that item in the most helpful way possible. Eg. Combination plastics don't recycle, pass on spices to people in your life who might use them ect. While minimalist living is an awesome way to quit overconsumption we are still have a responsibility to dispose of what is not serving us mindfully :)
Decluttering: Sell, donate or trash. Trash is the last resort.
Very helpful! I've got my work cut out for me but I appreciate how you've laid things out...
This is good especially when one is tackling the kitchen/living area. Thank you!
I noticed it needs videos people always say what to declutter but they never say how I personally have spent almost a month trying to find a place to recycle items but end up having to pay a fee or something like that
Ya, and it will always get into the house again. I need to know where should i put these items
U can donate old towels and blankets too local animal shelters or rescues for aniamal use. Do not flush old meds. Contact pharhamcys about disposals programs. I put things i cannt use by the curb with a free sign. It s gone quickly on a clear day is best.
Girl, I am watching this on mid 2019. You have one of the best list in this video. Love it
I have health issues which slow me down more every year and so time is
very important to me and I hate wasting it looking for things. I decided
to make a spreadsheet of the locations of every item I own. It took a
couple of days to do. Now I can search the spreadsheet in seconds and
find anything. This is especially useful for planning future projects.
Also, I can now take a leisurely look at items on the spreadsheet and
decide whether or not I really need them.
"Go ahead and... "
I said that way too much 😂
declutter. lol
"So what you're saying is..." {ala Cathy Newman} ...I should just throw away ALL my stuff? 😂
laughs in natural black hair at the comb suggestion
I need at least 2 combs and 2 brushes when my hair is loose. ha!
I have a ton of DVDs and CDs I'm thinking of getting rid of. I already donated a ton of books today. I cleaned out part of the garage where I had about six boxes/totes and I got it down to two. It was hard getting rid of my books but it needed to be done. That's one of the reasons why I have an ereader. Don't have to worry about a ton of physical books cluttering up everything. I have a few more things to go through in the house in my bedroom/bathroom. Some of what you mentioned - makeup, magazines, combs, etc. Thanks for the video!
So helpful☺️ thank you so much.. ❤️❤️
Definitely go ahead and leave a comment.
