Where is a place you could declutter today that would improve the way you live?? ❤❤❤❤
FBMP the 3 Ikea pegboards I own today and I'm giving it a week and possibly the fake magnatiles that don't stick next week. After that it's only excess carpet cleaner, possibly a kettle and 2 mugs and a literal handful of stationary left to declutter. And that's it. We are done decluttering until things break, stained, used up or are outgrown.
I decluttered my bedside table today! Feel alot better for it!
❤❤
Tonight I will go throu my Box with old birthday and Christmas cards! I'm so sentimental!😅
@@anjastarker-kaiser8338 Oooooo I need to do that too.
Consider filling those extra purses/hand bags with the extra travel size toiletries you’ve collected. Add a new toothbrush, toothpaste, comb or brush and donate them to a Women’s Shelter. When I travel I try to collect those hotel items just to donate.
Love this! Thanks for sharing this idea with us ❤️❤️
Awesome idea!
That's an excellent idea!
Hi Sweetie, I don't live in the States so I was amazed to find that people kept containers full of decor so that they could change out the decor each season and for different celebrations. I have decorations around but these are the ones that I treasure as they were given to me by family. Most people here only add decorations at Christmas time, and the amount used varies from home to home, I always thought wreaths were for funerals, but these are used a lot as home decor in the state. Really enjoyed your list, thanks for sharing, your dogs are cute by the way!!!!! 🥰
If you don’t mind me asking what country are you from!? I love that where you live it’s not all about decorating every season 😍❤️❤️ it is so wasteful and overwhelming to me.. thanks so much for sharing I love learning about what people do in other countries 👏❤️
I love hearing your perspective and what certain objects like wreaths signify in other countries. The consumerism is wild in North America and influencers who post 'decorate with me' videos are no help either! I'm in Canada and only decorate minimally for Christmas but that's not the norm. I'm actually going to give away our pre-lit artificial Christmas tree to a family in need when the time comes because we have a bunny now that would love to chew through the cords. We can get along fine with the small tabletop tree that we already have.
Thank you for all your help and great suggestions for decluttering. I honestly find myself spinning my wheels and getting overwhelmed. I grew up in a time that nothing was wasted including food, clothes, decorations, appliances, but I have been trying to downsize the last few years. My stuff is holding me back and I need room to breath.
I was curious too- where do you live? Love learning about other cultures.
We don’t all change decor every season, and many of us don’t decorate for every holiday. It perplexes me, those who do.
Decluttering the yard is another one to do. I have two large aviaries that are disintegrating so I’m deconstructing them along with a broken dog house that I’ve never used. I have been taking down fences with rusty wire or rotten wood. Once my ex-hoarder moved out and the yard was cleaned up somewhat I was able to assess what else needed to go, reusing stuff where I can like piles of sand and good wood. I hate gardening but this is rewarding.
Wow! Sounds like you’ve done a ton in the back!! I enjoy gardening but that sounds like a Lot of outdoor work even for me! Good luck friend!! ❤️
I so agree. I had this large Palo Verdes tree in the front yard that was messy and growing in a sprawling ugly fashion. I had an unwritten rule that I would never remove a tree that I nourished from a 24 gallon tub. But this tree was such a mess! Finally, I had someone remove the tree and now my front yard is so clean and sunny. I love it.
Thank you! And I’ve only begun working on it last year, just doing small bits due to depression. I’ve got 17 x 20m Cypress pines on the other side of my boundary that are dangerous and drop huge limbs and I have my water tanks and sheds in there path.
@@willchristie2650 So glad you were able to open up your yard for a lovely change!
We are a family of 7 and we have two plates per person, we find this is a good amount to cover all the meals and be able to run the dishwasher at the end of the day. It's enough for company too. I definitely need to declutter mugs, it's like shoes for some people 😅 I am new to your channel, this was a great list and things I can definitely revisit decluttering.
Thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️
For duplicate kitchenware, donate to local womans shelter. People fleeing their homes are struggling to set up new homes. In my town we have an organisation that its sole purpose it helping people starting over. Cookware, casserole dishes, utensils, pots and pans are always greatly appreciated. My mother recently passed away and we are giving them the contents of her house. The only thing we wont pass on is her clothing. I admit she was very good at getting rid of clutter which makes it easier. It feels good to know we are passing on decent quality home goods and furniture to someone that needs it at no cost to them.
That is a beautiful and thoughtful way to share with women in need ❤️ thank you for sharing your suggestion ❤️ I’m sorry for the loss of your mom❤️❤️
I got rid of a condiment today. My refrigerator is so crowded that when I opened it today, a glass jar of sweet relish leapt off the shelf and fell to the floor and broke. Yikes! I confess I let stuff sit in the refrigerator knowing I won't eat them but (coming from a poor family) not wanting to throw food out. I am working on it.
I get that ❤️ I grew up with my family not having much but we would go and often eat at my grandparents house. I remember thinking when I grow up I want a full kitchen like they had all the time so I do feel like our experiences can lead us to keep more things even when we know we don’t need them ❤️❤️
Dear Will, my Mom's a boomer so it takes a lot to explain hoarder, even when we say
"see, you are buying a new weeks worth of groceries, and "pushing" items back into fridge and eventually everything goes into bins"
she countered by buying 3 fridges for the house, racked up electricity bills and my Dad passed away due to massive bills. Hoarding binds itself to trauma (thoughts like "we were poor") I pray for relief, I pray for deliverance. Do heal.
We fold our socks by laying one on top of the other and then fold in half and put into the dresser in a row. It makes it very easy to see all the socks at once and keeps the tops from stretching out, plus space saving.
Great idea 👏 thanks for sharing
One item I couldn’t believe I had 3 car full loads of was polystyrene in cardboard boxes. I’ve been decluttering for a number of years and only keep boxes to store my fans for summer, a few sewing machines and TVs. I decided that I only need the boxes for the fans to keep the dust off them and not the foam. Because of the mess that was made by breaking it up, I set aside a few days to break it up in my lounge and cleaned up when I finished each session. I don’t have kids or pets so it was safe to do. I also got rid of a lot of boxes and the amount of space I gained was fantastic.
That’s awesome 👏 it’s such a good feeling to take your space back 😍
@@minimalease Yes, the weird thing is that when I feel like I’ve taken a space back, my lower calves and feet feel a lot lighter and I’m floating.
❤ A very good list. This morning, I decluttered my desk, tidied up the house and you just motivated me to start going through the linen closet. Thank you for this. Have a beautiful day.
That’s amazing!! I’m so glad to get u motivated 😍 thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️
Those large hoops look great on you.
Aww thanks so much! My Grandmommy always wears hoops and it rubbed off on me 😍
I can declutter my shoes. Im having such a hardtime letting go after retiring. I have so many pretty shoes, but I just don't wear them anymore.
That's awesome and such a great reminder for all of us that "pretty clutter is still clutter" and " if you can't use it, it is using you" thank you so much for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can relate to that in the sense that I had some nice shoes I wasn't using anymore. It helped me to know that the person who gets them can use them in their life journey.
@@Nini-ze2jk When I went back to work a few years ago after being home with babies, I needed a whole new wardrobe, but couldn't really afford it. I was SO THANKFUL to find a number of really good quality things at a second hand store.
I totally get this. I will never wear office wear and formal shoes, but I cannot let them go!
I kept only my very favorite pairs. The ones who have never made me feel pain, and only serve one purpose. Down to 3 pair.
❤❤❤doing a big decluttering now! On a roll and lots to go!!
That’s awesome 👏 keep it up 😍
I just want to let you know how GRATEFUL I AM... that I came across your channel and met you. One of the best things that happened to me is KNOWING YOU. I AM SO MUCH INSPIRED. I am on my 4th year now in my decluttering journey and got rid of almost 80percent of our Clutter. But no amount of inspiration from books and other minimalist podcasts that made me literally get rid and donate the HUGE BED FURNITURE my daughter never used since she was 4 years old, now she's 18. because it's a customized hello kitty character which she loved when she was 4. with a huge price also. But she still sleeps beside me till now in another room that's why she never used it. And another thing is the HUGE painting in our living area I bought at a pricey cost too which I do not know why I bought it but I was hanging with it for almost 7 years. But because I am inspired by what you shared about CREATING NEGATIVE SPACE. I FINALLY gotten rid of it and I FEEL LIBERATED 😭😭I am literally crying because you helped me DID IT. THANK YOU!🙏🙏🙏You are such an INSPIRATION to us. Keep on inspiring! God bless you and your family!!!❤❤❤
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your journey to declutter! All of our stories are so different and I love hearing about how decluttering can change and improve our lives ❤️❤️ I’m so grateful for your words and kindness ❤️❤️ thanks so much for sharing!
❤ Great list, kids shoes and kitchen items can always use another round of decluttering. Big family makes it harder to stay minimal😀 In Sweden were we live most people only decorate for Christmas and not very excessive. A pumpkin for halloween and some flowers for easter but not much else. Interesting to see the difference between countries. Have a lovely weekend.
I resonate with that so much and loved the time we got to spend in Sweden last year 😍🤗 Christmas and now every holiday are so commercial here in my opinion it’s less about the holiday and more about the decorations
That’s how most Americans used to decorate for holidays. For some reason, “seasonal decor” has invaded the American psyche. I still decorate for holidays similar to the way you describe.
How about statuettes and other bookcase decorations? I tried to sell some of this stuff on eBay and had minimal success. When I sold one, I found that shipping costs now made my profit shockingly small. It never occurred to me to just GIVE THEM AWAY to Goodwill. Sometimes we are so programmed that it never occurs to us that there are other options to streamline our possessions. It really feels good to take boxes of "junk" (someone else's treasure) to Goodwill.
Aww so glad to help! I like to think there is someone right now looking for the thing that I need to declutter and they are going to be so happy to find it! 😍
Find other places to donate besides Goodwill. My town has a small store that I donate to that gives a portion of income to the local schools. Goodwill will NEVER do that and their donated items have gotten so expensive to buy that it’s got out of hand. Goodwill is a rip off!!!
At the weekend I decluttered the bedroom. Took the pictures off and got the old motors off from under our boxspringbeds.
I just love it. ❤❤❤ It's so much easier to clean under the bed now.
Thank you for your new tipps today. That's a big list!😅
That’s awesome 👏 great job 😍❤️❤️
Travel toiletries are awesome gor gym and camping. Super convenient. Just have a bin for those, grab what you need and it's done.
Yup, we all have different needs 👍 they have nice refillable bottles so you don’t have to useone use plastic products ❤️❤️
I only have one purse too. I used to have a winter and a summer purse but I couldn't find many I liked.😊
You wouldn’t believe the amount of purses I used to have and yet even then I’d only use one 🤦🏼♀️🤣 Im the worst at losing things or not remembering where I put them so changing between purses drove me crazy! so glad I don’t try and keep up with that anymore 🤗 thanks so much for sharing ❤️❤️
❤Great motivation! I’m an artist but don’t frame & hang everything! Some really good ideas!
I’m so glad ❤️❤️ thanks for watching!
We are moving house this summer to a smaller home with no garage. I’ve got to go through the whole house! I’m breaking it down into smaller sections so it’s not overwhelming. It’s hard to let go of little kid toys that are so special to me but no longer needed because our kids are past that stage.
But I’m feeling excited because I know the less we own the less I have to manage 🙂
Thanks for continually inspiring and motivating me ❤
That’s amazing! Good luck on downsizing and your move!! 😍❤️
@@minimaleasethanks so much ☺️❤️
I really like these kind of videos Becky and really enjoyed this one 😊 I don't have decorative pillows myself, but I heard a tip on the frugal money saver channel where Emmy said that if you love changing the pillows, you can always keep the inner part and just change the covers if possible, this way they take up a lot less space ❤️
That’s a great idea! Thanks for sharing it with us ❤️❤️
I live in Virginia and I have donated massive amounts supplies from my former design days to Upcycle Creative in Alexandria.
Love it!! Such a great idea thanks for sharing ❤️❤️
Can you film a minimal what’s on your iPhone video and how you declutter your phone???
That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing! I will work on that ❤️❤️
Hi new subscriber from England 🇬🇧
Welcome 🤗 thanks for sharing ❤️❤️
This is such a good list. Thank you!❤
I’m so glad 😍 thanks for sharing ❤️❤️
What a great video. I have been on this journey for some years and I felt myself checking off the list you were doing and YES I celebrated when I heard them. I am now working on the generational stuff. How in the world did I become the keeper of the family stuff. I have been setting up different boxes for different lines of my family. WOW. I agree to consider some stuff that is simply not important to the next generation. Bravo to your video. Well done.
Thanks so much! and thanks for sharing your journey!! ❤️❤️❤️
I need everything to cook in my kitchen. But all other rooms, clutter has to go! We eat out once every couple months. Home cooking is the Best!
That’s awesome ❤️❤️❤️
I read that some spices can actually become toxic with age. Never keep spices that are over a year old unless you specifically know they last longer.
Great point!
I’ve made chores a little easier and less messy by looking at having the right things for the job. I have a wood heater and I used to fill up the 2 wheelbarrows with firewood each week so I couldn’t use them for gardening. I’ve built a wood shelter inside the garage near the front door and made a new wood box on castors for next to the heater. It also has hooks on the side with a shelf for gloves, etc. so there’s nothing on the floor. It’s keeping the house much cleaner. I can wheel the box to the front door and load it up without walking mud or grass into the house and there’s no risk of slipping inside. My shelter holds 6 barrows full and takes up the same amount of floorspace as the barrows.
Love this! Great ideas 😍 thanks for sharing!!
Gorgeous doggies!! 💖🐶🐶💖
Aww thanks so much they are sweeties 😍
♥ Great tips! Thanks so much!
So glad to help 😍❤️❤️ thanks for sharing!
Your advise and video on this subject matter is the best I have seen/listened to. Well done!
Wow, thank you and thanks so much for sharing!! ❤️❤️

That's so wonderful to hear! Thank you!!❤️❤️
Thank you. 😊
Glad you enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing❤️❤️❤️
These are all very clever

In my dining room hutch I have drawers. One for new and used batteries to be recycled. One for small kitchen stuff. One for office supplies (very limited amounts of everything) and one for odds and ends like cards or games or string or small candles/measuring tape. My dishes are in the hutch also not in my cupboards except for glasses and some mugs.
I have a table with drawers in living room so I keep stuff for dog in one drawer and gardening hand tools/gloves in the other. If I let my husband put stuff away they would all be junk drawers that you can never find anything. I’ve gone through each pen to see if it works and sent full of them to the office of where he works. We only need 2 pens. He keeps bringing me more from suppliers he goes to and I keep bundling them for I’m to bring to work. He came home with 10 pairs of gardening gloves on sale and I had him return them. I keep reminding him that I don’t want more stuff but he keeps bringing in more. He saves empty boxes and papers and I keep showing him that the paid bills can go to recycled bin. And the papers can get burned at the campground. It’s never ending battle.
It sounds like you’ve been busy! When it came to my husband we still have our differences but he now really enjoys living with less and helps me keep things organized but it took us a while to get to this point 🙃 good luck continuing to declutter friend!!

I have a gold bracelet with my name engraved on it that I got as a Christmas gift when I was 12.
My wrist is currently too big to wear it. It is still in great condition.

It sounds like it’s a nice sentimental piece for you

How do you declutter old computers & phones (where do you take them/what do you do with them once you're done & have removed what you think you need...and are they secure?). I have a box of old tech stuff that I'd love to ditch but don't know what the heck to do with it!
We used to take our stuff to Best Buy which is a computer store near us and they would get rid of it but our dump also has a section for that stuff
@@minimalease - ahh- thanks so much for this idea!! I've been holding on to this stuff (that's now junk) for years!!! whew!!! 🙂
What is the powder all purpose cleaner you use!?
I got it from the container store but it’s called blueland ❤️
Need to declutter my walk-in pantry. What brand of powder do you add to your spray bottles to make cleaning solution?
I either use the powder called "Ever Spring" from Target or "Blueland" which I get from the Container store. Both of them I have enjoyed and continue to use ❤️❤️
I adore your doggies!
Thanks so much 😍
I would like to keep the area rugs off of my beautiful wooden floors but I am afraid my dog will scratch them with his nails. Any suggestions? He is horrible when I try to cut his nails. We have been to vets, petsmarts, friends have tried and at one point we had to give him a tranquilizer and he still will not sit for getting his nails cut.
Our floors seem pretty hardwood so we haven’t had any issues with scratching but I do keep the little washable rugs near the bed so it’s easier for my dogs to get on the bed ❤️❤️ I would get a ruggable like rug if I was to get one just for ease hope that helps some
@@minimalease Thank you!
Wooden floors are slippery for dogs. They can hurt their hips and knees. I put carpets and rugs everywhere just for the dogs. Saves vet bills, too.
The hygiene products that are inside the lodging bathrooms,are not meant to be trinkets. They are supposed to be disposed,or if unopened,leave them there.
Chemicals start rashes. Then maintenance will clean them up.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts 👍
Hey Minimai really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Best Quality Editing in your videos better than your Editor with good pricing and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your videos to reach to a wider audience ? Pls let me know what do you think ?
I live alone and I had one glass to drink out of, and I noticed my glass measuring cup, so now no drinking glass.
Wow I’m definitely not that extreme but I’m so happy it works for you and makes you happy ❤️
I already decided weeeeeeks ago to try and declutter on top of our cabinets... Those are the spots where wevput everything that has to be out of our way or out of reach for our youngest, but it's getting out of control... I already decided that the things belonging to my stepdaughter I will put in a under the bed rolling container. (Things that used to be her moms things and the condoleance cards (and other) she received after her mom died. I bought her a new photo album to use for photo's and cards she wants to keep, a box for things and some sort of file folder to put papers in. I hope she will put all the things in there the way she wants it and maybe she want to decorate the photo album with drawings or stickers she likes. It's on her to decide how she puts all those memories in the album or boxes, so she can enjoy them for the years to come.)
Technically it's not decluttering those things, but giving them another place where she has easy access to them.
But on top of the cabinets are also some old toys I can give away to a thrift store or just give them to other people for free. So the cabinets will get emptier when I manage those things.
That sounds like a great idea what your doing for your step daughter ❤️ letting her decide how she will keep and manage her memories herself when she is ready ❤️❤️
I use shampoo, conditioner, and lotion I don't like instead of shaving cream.
Great idea 👏 thanks for sharing ❤️

My problem is not decluttering it is where to give all things u decluttering and not just throw away and it is not easy in many countries
That is really interesting and something I have never thought of because we don’t have that issue where I live. What country are you from maybe someone on here can give you suggestions ❤️
@@minimalease mostly I give to animal bazaars which happen 2-3 times a year or books to libraries or again bazaars I have some options or clothes to friends or relatives
Storage unit😢
You got this! ❤❤
You can do it! Xxxx
Shampoo, etc. Maybe one of the reasons accommodation places supply these is because travellers can find that any bottles with liquid contents can be confiscated at the airport - very disappointing for those who have spent significant amount of money on these items & sometimes even bottled water.
It is worth checking before lugging (because they do add weight!) these items half way around the world just to have to give them up.
Very valid and great points! ❤️ thanks so much for sharing!!
Decluttering is wasteful and environmentally irresponsible. The first rule: don't buy stuff. Definitely don't just keep your favourites. You can store stuff until you need it. NEVER waste food. Work out how to include unwanted food in dishes you cook yourself. Environmental damage is caused mainly when we dispose of things, Donating can salve your conscience, but Africa is on the point of refusing our unwanted clothes.
Don't stay in air b'n'b. The temporary accommodation makes it impossible for residents in many places to find somewhere to stay. If you can't find somebody to give your throwouts to, probably no-on will want them.
Buy stuff as a last resort. Get good quality items and plan to keep them for ever. Everything that was ever made has a carbon footprint.
I love where you are but you have to understand not everyone is there we can all get a little better and closer to only buying what we really need buy helping each other and sharing our journeys so i appreciate you sharing yours ❤️
Jackie, hun, bit rough there mate.
Totally see your point, and agree but if youre hammering in a way that break bones, no one's going to hear
and thats a perfectly good waste of necessary message of "buy less". Edit your message mate - a strong message is hurt by gimmicks
(example - saving the planet is impt. Adding a child/Greta Thumberg to it removes power of message rather than add.
When our message has punch, our message punches. Gimmicks only weakens message.)
@@henrietta9206 Well, um, 'hun', thanks for the lecture. I've read my comment again and I don't see any reference to a child or any other gimmicks. I do realise that the convention with RUclips posts is to be supportive.
Spelling: pErishable
And stationEry. A helpful tip with that one is if you are talking about paper and Envelopes, remember it’s an E for Envelope. Stationary with an A means standing still - like a stationary bike.
I swear the happiness I feel when @ *LVGUCI* uploads a video is beyond!!!!
I’m not someone who cares about luxury brands but I do like to buy nice things that last ❤️
