      Yes I love seeing unity between all no matter what. It warms my heart with so much love when i see and feel only kindness and love between people regardless of anything, because at the end of the day, we all are one there’s no separation and love is the reason why we are having this human experience. Watching this three beautiful wonderful souls coming together and giving all of us tips to help us is more than helpful. God bless everyone 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜☮️🪬 God bless all souls☮️🪬💜

    I can remember being in a friend’s home a couple of yrs ago, it reminded me of staying in a guesthouse and I’m thinking, ‘How can they live like this without so much stuff!’
    I was a hoarder at the time with just clutter everywhere and I couldn’t believe how much it was putting my anxiety in overdrive sitting in a minimal home.
    Now thanks to you 3 lovely ladies I’m wanting way less stuff and I’m doing it. The amount of things that have left my home is just amazing and it’s all because of you 3 wonderful women, that makes decluttering easy 🥰

    I just wanted to say that having multiple decluttering methods available really helps me. Most spaces I really gravitate towards Cass's methods, but then when I hit a really troublesome and overwhelming space, the only thing that can keep me moving is Dana's no mess principles.

    • @zd3365
      @zd3365 Месяц назад +2

      I've also used this approach to get rid of items that have no use for me now, but have an emotional attachment to (i.e., family items I've received). I can take a few photos, from whatever angles I need, and let it go. That satisfies me from still needing to 'see' the item, but still having it out of my house

  • @connieloughry7848
    @connieloughry7848 3 месяца назад +17

    It literally makes me feel ‘wow!’ when I walk in to a decluttered space. I feel free, I feel like weight has been lifted off my shoulders. And it also goes for the outside of my house too! Shrubs that needed trimmed for months frustrated me beyond belief. Got them done a couple weeks ago and every time I pull in my driveway I literally have an ‘ahh’ moment-pure joy!!

    I just stopped the video (when you said get rid of something big) and moved my coffee table to the sunporch (plenty of room there) ... it's always in the way when the grandkids come ... it has 4 little drawers that I emptied yesterday (some I got rid of and some I am storing elsewhere) thinking I would try this ... I'm always worried they will pinch their fingers or get into things they shouldn't. The ones who live closest to me are 1 1/2 and 2 1/2. Now they will have more room to play. The room looks so much happier !

The one mindshift that changed everything for me was understanding cleaning wasn't a project with a beginning and an end, Thanks Dana! And Dawn has helped me take a step farther than I probably would have while decluttering, and it is really so freeing, Thanks Dawn! I really can't say how much all of you have helped me!

    I'm 77 years old and do not want to spend the rest of my "limited" years searching for anything. So, thanks for the mantra "If you remembered you have this, where would you look for it?" I wish I knew this fifty years ago. It's so much easier to "find" what I want/need. Also, another rule/mantra: "don't put things DOWN. Put things AWAY - EVERY TIME!" All caps because I'm still making this a habit. I take off my glasses and put them down, so have to look for them. Do. Not. Like. Thanks again to all three of you for your encouragement. 😍

    My family experienced hoarding from my Dad, and organization from our Mom. It seems that my one sibling inherited the organization gene, while the rest of us inherited the hoarding gene. Whenever anyone visits the home of our organized sibling, once they enter the Foyer/Living Room, they immediately say,
    "Oh, it's so peaceful here!"
    And it IS peaceful, because it's NOT cluttered! Thankfully, we other (hoarder) siblings, are learning to de-clutter, and pare down, thanks to ladies like you!
    It's making a difference!

    When I lived with the ex (hoarder) I called the floor 3D carpet and trying to get from one side of his living room to my bookcase an Olympic hurdling event. I was so stressed about not hurting myself as if I damaged anything of his, there would have been payback of worse proportions. He’d put stuff in any walkway especially outside. Now his areas of my home have been cleared, I do a Wonder Woman twirl in each space every time and say something so it echoes. It still feels weird to have open spaces even after 2yrs but it’s a feeling I’m happy to have!

    After the hoarder ex moved out I’ve been painting my home and so I still have stuff in the wrong places but it’s so much cleaner. I’m now in control and have beautiful places like my lounge and bedroom. I can get my home ready for a sale inspection without much stress as it’s tidy and I don’t have to pick up much before vacuuming. I have Dana’s voice in my head anytime I walk into the kitchen about doing the dishes! She keeps me in line most of the time and I really notice the satisfaction next time I go in there. ❤

    Just this afternoon I was vacuuming behind our bed, and wanted to get the rug properly moved into position under our bed, because we never took the time to maneuver our heavy bed over it all the way. It’s actually the rug to our guest room, but that room is unable to have the rug down right now until we get our crawl space moisture issue resolved this winter. So instead of dealing with the rug any longer in our bedroom, I decided to just roll it up and put it in the attic until it can actually serve us again

    2:46 in, and I'm overwhelmed and anxious. I will attempt to return.

    It's always the paper that gets me
    Hate dealing with it and with my disabled child there is sooooo much of it coming at me😢

      It’s a slog. What worked for me was to scan paperwork (optional but helpful) rename with date of document YYYY-MM-DD and broad category, like “report” then details. In pencil write the date of document on bottom middle. Three hole punch, put it in a binder most recent on top. Don’t bother trying to categorize ( THAT is what breaks my brain and makes it hard). If it supersedes a document, write the date of the old document on the left. Go back to old document and write new date on right. I also had a simple spreadsheet for communication. Columns were date/time, person who initiated, people involved, method (call, email), summary notes, follow up and whatever categories make sense to you. This would include the reports too. I’d also include communication from my child. It often provided valuable context. It’s super easy to find info on a spreadsheet, figure out the date then go back to your binder or email. Sending email follow-ups to phone conversations is a great strategy providing a paper trail. Sorry if this is too much info but I definitely could have used it at the time. You got this! Take care.

    To go along with Cas’ tip for looking at it at a different perspective, what helped me was looking at the room, as if I were a guest and I didn’t live there, that changed almost my entire way of seeing my house. Because when I look at it, as if I live there, I can easily overlook things and not care that I’ve left several things out. But when I look at it as if I were someone coming in, who doesn’t live there, that changes the entire thing and then I start to notice all those things that need to be Decluttered or put away. 🤯

    Just hauled a double recliner loveseat off to the dump; literally carried it out one piece at a time. When we bought the 3 piece set, it was SO hard getting the loveseat and sofa in the door. Then after both of the recliners in the loveseat broke, we decided to get rid of it and just have the sofa & the single recliner. That was a couple of months ago. So, yesterday I used a utility knife and a socket & ratchet to disassemble the loveseat and packed it (piece by piece) into my Tahoe; then to the dump today. My husband got home and I said "Look! There's room to dance!" He fake pouted, but danced with me anyway LOL
