All makes sense IF the person you live with is like minded. But if that person cares not or doesn't even notice clutter and the notion is not intrinsic to them, then consistent decluttering doesn't happen. Communication helps, yes, but doesn't solve the problem. Divergence in that regard is something both people must learn to accept.
It's my experience that QUIETLY continuing personal decluttering/re-homing rubs off on resistors and they eventually adopt many of these practices on their own; just takes time, although acceptance IS part of living with others on many fronts.
i just moved into my first apartment with no roommates. i’ve had my fair share of messy roommates and honestly, it’s hard to keep the common areas how you want them when others use the space without fixing it back. this video is so helpful! something that i learned within the first month of me being by myself is all the mess is MINE. i can’t blame anyone else for the clutter. ps my list has a vacuum on it now lol
I noticed small things of Ukrainian symbols (sticker, a pin on a trench, etc.) a couple of times in your videos. Just wanted to say a huge thank you for this💙💛 It is really important for us that people all over the world are aware of russian aggression and support Ukraine. Thank you🙏 ❤️
Our home is quite tidy and clutter free. I’m married and we have a 3.5 and 5 yr old. My husband never sees messes or dirt so expecting him to see something that needs to be picked up and put away is just not going to happen. I’ve been tidy all my life so asking him to change who he is just asking for it. It’s been about 3 years since I began decluttering and we also moved to a house 1/3rd the size during that time. We completely gutted and rebuilt 2 bathrooms and a kitchen while living here, consciously on my part to make sure we have a place for everything in the design. To those who think that just because they have kids or their spouse is messy, it does NOT mean you can’t have a tidy home. I’ve found that once everything has been given a home, it’s very easy to put those things back, even for my husband. And if it’s just me putting those things back, it takes less than 30 minutes for the whole house.
Yup- still watched this video even though I have been doing these things for years. My husband and I have always been neat, clean, and organized people; And we have taught our kids to be the same. I completely believe in the mantra of "cluttered space- cluttered mind" Though I do believe most people live in a cluttered space; I don't know many people who live neatly like me actually
I do 🙋🏻♀️ We don’t have kids, but one fur baby (who sheds & doesn’t clean up after herself lol) Not only we’re neat at home, but when we travel & stay in hotels as well. We keep our room clean as if we’re at home, clean after ourselves, hubby even made our bed (I kept reminding him to leave something for hotel staff to do 🙊).
great tips😘 -The dyson stick made me into vacuuming all the time as I hated it before . I can do a quick one in 10 min to my 4 bed 3 bath 2 story house … I even just do the sofa without changing the attachment as I am a savage -As far as dishes do them as you use them …no dishes in the sink ever -with time I got rid of most decor as I had a rule that i needed to commit to cleaning it properly every week
🧹I'm also in a 600sq feet home and storage is probably the biggest priority, most of our furniture has some hidden storage (at the expense of aesthetics, but it's worth it!), and anything we bring into our lives has to have a place that's perfect to put it, or we're not getting it. Agreed on intentional decor, there's only so much space in the home so space tend to go to useful things that could also serve as decor, like a pretty wooden box (for more storage!) I think the other thing for small homes is to say no to open storage, the more things we leave on surfaces just gives visual clutter and makes our home feel even smaller and cramped, those cute open shelves are not going to do any favours for small spaces.
My tidy habit - when moving from one room to another, do a quick scan if anything needs to go somewhere else. Also I really love steel cut oats - they are a whole grain (rolled are not) and they have a nice chewy texture - I do 2 cups water to one cup oats. I am thinking of trying them to make sushi rolls as they have enough stickiness to do that.
I like that you said keep decor intentional rather than minimal. I appreciate a modern, minimalist look but it's not my preferred style. A cozy, slightly eclectic bohemian look feels much more homey to me! Yet, every little trinket or plant has it's place, and I do a little tidy each night to keep my space organized and clean. :)
🧹 We wash the dishes as we go and always wash them before bed. Dirty dishes in the sink are a big nono. I need to incorporate vacuuming more often, though. I have definitely pared down my wardrobe so the closet is not cluttered. I like that you say minimalish because I like to have some items around that bring me joy. Thanks for the great content.
I really like the "two-minute" rule. If I can put something away or otherwise take care of it in two minutes or less, I do it now rather than waiting to take care of it later. It's amazing how much this has transformed my home.
Your house looks great . 🛋️🛋️ I'm lucky to be living with someone that was a minimalist his whole life without even knowing what minimalism is, he just doesn't own many things. Makes it much easier for our home to be clutter free since I also embarked on the minimalism journey a while back. The kitchen is the least minimalist space in our house because I love cooking and baking, which translates into a lot of pots, pans and baking dishes. But they have their own space, so I guess that's ok. ☺️
🧹Love these tips. I like to do a quick sweep of the house before bed. It takes less than 5 minutes to tidy up and then you don't wake up to a mess in the morning.
You actually made me vacume my floors, i hate vacuming and i just told my son that i am going to do it tomorrow because i just dont feel like it today. But now i am going to right away. Thankyou love from switzerland ❤
Great video Christina. I use most of these and they are so helpful. A habit that I also have is a weekly housekeeping task of the day. I just check off the task that day, and I don’t have to think about the rest of the house which helps my peace of mind. Today is Sunday, which is bathroom clean day 😊. Also includes my laundry, Tuesday towels and Saturday sheets 😂
🧹 🧼 yes 🙌!! In addition to, I also do a “ten minute clean 🧼 “ everyday, so things don’t pile up. I set the clock ⏰ ( or Siri/ Alexa) to ten minutes and stop 🛑 once it chimes/ rings! Cleaning 🧽 is my hobby and I have mild OCD! Also tchotchke’s lol 😂 !! My grandma 👵 & mom call them, along with too many picture frames 🖼 “dust collectors”. So they’ve instilled the idea 💡 of minimal decor in me, even for Halloween 🎃 & Christmas 🎄! Hugs 🤗, Amy
I love the fact that you put the accent on "intentional". Even though minimalistic homes are my fave thing ever, my ideal apartment will never be like that, simply because I own a lot of stuff that indeed brings me joy. Collectionists, where you at?
🧹 great tips, especially for a small space. One tip I have is to always put silverware in the dishwasher with the handle up, sharp facing down. Avoid any tragic accidents in case of a trip and fall or curious child. Also, it is easier to grab the handle to put silverware away. ❤️
This was a helpful video for me today. I'm laying here wanting to tidy but unable to get myself up and moving, and this is inspiring me to get things looking good!
🧹 I concur. Also, don't get caught up in storage being coordinated. If it's in a drawer or cabinet, no one knows basket 1 doesn't match basket two. Thank you!
I watched this video yesterday I was at home (school close no work!!) Sometimes I love living in Quebec. I got inspired, went to the dollorama and bought containers and I did some decluttering and cleaning. Thanks for this motivation :) .
Saw your video on the financial diet, what an accomplishment! Congratulations to you 💪🏻. You really inspired me to start my own youtube channel. Making my way to a better, financial future hopefully!🤞🏻
My home is organized clutter. I have a system where I put things because I hate not being able to find things so I put items together logically. If I wanted something I can retrace steps to where it should be at. My drawers and closet rods are also grouped; a drawer for sleeveless, one for tees, a rod for tops, rod for pants, rod for outerwear etc.. Basically I am lazy. I tend to figure out the least time consuming ways to live my life.
🧹!!! Loved these tips. Something I’ve recently been trying to implement is being mindful of how much energy I exert on cleaning/tidying tasks. For example, instead of picking up things in one room that need to go in other, and walking back and forth 100 times, I keep a basket handy that I can carry from room to room with things that need put away. Helps tremendously when you have a toddler following you around all day and getting into everything!
🧹🧹 I love this! Every time my family comes to town, I go through a weekend of deep cleaning which is exhausting and makes me dread their visits. Not that I’m messy, but I am lazy. I am implementing some of these tips now to make it less stressful on myself!
I’m so happy I do most of these things! My kids make our apt the most cluttered but we’re working towards it. And we are total vacuuming junkies we use it every day lol
You have to find a system you like for organizing and then maintain it. That is the only way for it to stay nice all the time. Most people think you can clean or organize once and then it will stick. It is an ongoing process and that is what most people fail to recognize
1. Vacuuming the space. 2. No dirty dishes before bed. 3. Simplify. 4. Wipe Down Surfaces as you go. 5. Put it away. 6. Turn down space when done. 7. Cute storage. 8. Keep decor intentional. 9. Making the bed. 10. Hide your clutter.
I love my Dyson too and use it everyday! I have a really hairy cat and live in a studio so it’s not hard for it get covered in fluff. Best money I ever spent.
100% agree about the unnecessary bed pillows that designers seem to love. My bed is not a couch! Honestly lots of couches have too many cushions for comfort too.
Your coffee table is pretty neat! I have a lovely cleaner. It is the best money I spend. I had 6 cats but now only have one. Much less litter and fur. Miss my kitties but they are at rest. Had a lot of old animals. However, I do have some stuff. I try to keep stuff hidden and put stuff away. I fill up the dishwasher. Make my bed. Put my clothes away or in the hamper. But there is no way my house would ever look like yours! Haha! Pet toys, cupboards with stuff in them! I don’t have clutter or knickknacks.
🧹I so appreciate your approach and that you don’t guilt people to be minimalist. I try to be very intentional about acquiring anything new but don’t see the need to get rid of what I’ve already got.
Greetings from Spain!! I have recently discovered your channel and I really love your lifestyle and vibes. You are super nice and inspiring! Thank u for the videos ❤️🔥🤞🏻
We are similar, Christina, in that I don't like visible clutter in our small and I dont like cleaning! Ee think the same about decor and simlified bed set up.Thank you for your endorsement of the Dyson vacuum. My husband has asked around and people say that it's hard to get one with good suction. G Ire
🧹😜 Thankfully, one of us in this home (aka me), likes to eliminate clutter whenever possible. Unfortunately, I live with someone who only does it when company is coming over. Our apartment is pretty small so we don’t have a lot of visitors so you can do the math. 🙄🤦🏻♀️
I literally feel the same since I’ve gotten my Dyson. I have high pile rugs in my condo, and I was HORRIFIED how much I picked up even though I vacuumed the week before with my old vacuum.
My no. 1 habit is to ask myself while I am organizing, washing up, basically anytime I have to touch and move things: "Do I want/have to do this with this item again?" Like clean, put away, organize, dust, etc. That is, when I feel any kind of, "Oh man..." feeling and get annoyed by the task at hand. Not when I just do it. That way I already got rid of a lot. Another variaton of this is how long it takes me to become annoyed by the task, e.g. ironing for 30 minutes. Then I decide that I need to sort through things and declutter so I don't exceed that time limit if it isn't necessary. Speaking of baskets: check out the baskets that have beautiful stitchings on them. :) Functional decoration can also be beautiful appliances like e.g. a nice kettle.
I can't relax in a cluttered or dirty house either, but sometimes I don't want to do the dishes, and I think I need to get rid of some old tee shirts so I can put away my casual clothes easier. Those are my main problem areas. I think pretty much everything else is similar to what is described here.
I have to have a clean kitchen before I go to bed. Even if we have a dinner party, I always stay up afterwards to turn the dishwasher on and wash anything that didn’t fit. I dry it and put it away and the clean my sink before I go to bed. If I’m exhausted and it’s very late, the vacuuming can wait until the next day as long as the kitchen is clean.
The Dyson is a game changer. We've had ours for about 4 years and it's still running great. I do change the filters every 6 months or so. BTW, what label maker do you use that makes the raised letters you showed.??
I believe in these habits and it helps me manage other things. My favorites are nice storage that almost resemble a drawer in my deep closets. It’s made storing things quick and easy. If it starts to fill up then it’s time to declutter. My other tip is to check expiration dates every month on food, skincare and other products. This helps do mini declutter and keep those things current when you need them available and not expired. 🧹🧹
All makes sense IF the person you live with is like minded. But if that person cares not or doesn't even notice clutter and the notion is not intrinsic to them, then consistent decluttering doesn't happen. Communication helps, yes, but doesn't solve the problem. Divergence in that regard is something both people must learn to accept.
Very true! Thank you for pointing that out!
It's my experience that QUIETLY continuing personal decluttering/re-homing rubs off on resistors and they eventually adopt many of these practices on their own; just takes time,
although acceptance IS part of living with others on many fronts.
@@jackiebowen6239 I hope this is true!
True, i think thats what makes trying to get tidier sooo much more difficult

Loved your jeans video. Can I please ask which denim you are wearing while vacuuming? They fit so well on you and I love the loose-ish style.
Redone 90s high rise loose! I’d say a very similar alternative are the denim forum Joni jeans
Would love to hear how you and your partner divide up the work according to the systems you have
It’s a mix! I’d say he’s more of the dish/kitchen duty haha
Great video🧹!
🪠 didn't even know this existed as an emoji 🤣🤣🤣

🧹 How do you go about paper clutter? Mail, paper items to sort, etc.? That’s definitely my trouble area.
Thank you for these practical tips!!!

I, too, vacuum when I get bored! Even my mom has to stop me vacuuming when I visit her LOL.
🧹 great video!
🧹🧹🧹 thanks for sharing! Such great tips! 😘
I believe in these habits and it helps me manage other things. My favorites are nice storage that almost resemble a drawer in my deep closets. It’s made storing things quick and easy. If it starts to fill up then it’s time to declutter. My other tip is to check expiration dates every month on food, skincare and other products. This helps do mini declutter and keep those things current when you need them available and not expired. 🧹🧹
Yesss such a great tip!
❤❤
