    This is a great reminder that decluttering doesn't have to be an hours long exercise. A small space in an hour counts.

      I took an hour the other day to clean out my cords, batteries and headphones drawer, throw out the multiple old sized cords and old style earphones I don’t need… organize them into ziploc baggies…. And then I made a charging station on a desk by the front door that I now use multiple times a day where I have a multi plug for my kindle, iPad, headphones and phone together. It feels great to know exactly where my charge cords all are, and to have a new way to use my space (with the charging station) that I can appreciate everyday and to know where to find my stuff when I need it. It is amazing how one hour fixing your space can help you feel like your life is more in control and you respect your stuff instead of being overwhelmed and mentally weighed down by it.

      When I do my massive declutter a few years ago, I would declutter a drawer or two on my lunch break. The small sessions soon add up

    My mom lived at a retirement community (it was not an old age home but a real retirement community for the over 65s).
    She said when ladies died and their children cleaned up their homes, out would come the Waterford crystal glasses that they never used, not even once!! The kids would get rid of those things which the community would later sell for 10 cents per glass!
    Please use your good things because once you go those things will go as well. Use them and love them.

      Once our youngest of 5 graduated and moved out on their own, we fled our empty nest and instead of hauling around old used items, we only took all our unused items like collectibles cups and fine China!! We now use every bit of those "precious" items and hardly had to buy anything other than furniture! I agree with you that we must use what we buy rather than holding onto "precious" items just because ❤

      It’s certainly handy. I always have a box in my garage for donations, even if I find one thing, it goes in the box til it’s full. I took three boxes yesterday to donate, found out they don’t take lightbulbs, who knew, had to take the lightbulbs out of the light fixture I was donating and the box of lightbulbs that I was donating, you would think somebody would like lightbulbs but oh well.

    When you see other people declutter it's easy to say go ruthless, but when you start doing it yourself is very difficult to do it. I'm so inspired by you. I needed some space to put my sawing machine I had to be ruthless. It's more difficult when you live with family. Common spaces become a battle field. Thank you for inspiring.

    I think getting to your 40s is a good time to realise you need to use the good stuff NOW! I inherited a lot of beautiful silver, glass, china & textiles after losing my MIL, including hand-painted Meissen dinner plates, a different flower on each one - we use those every week now (yes, we hand wash them! no biggie) So sad they were found wrapped up in the basement for…when?!😮

  • @allsubstance
    @allsubstance Месяц назад +22

    I like this video, especially because it's a manageable little section. I have a tendency to pull out way too much to work on, lose momentum, and it adds to the disorganized mess. I need to start smaller than the whole closet.

  • @hannahpierce2559
    @hannahpierce2559 Месяц назад +12

    I love the little diagram Val drew! I feel like her ability to visualize a focused space like that would be really useful in Gabi’s shoebox apartment! I also think their organizing styles would mesh well! Would love to see Val come in for a “consult” on Gabi’s space sometime just to push the organization to the next level for her!

    I love that you have so many great friends that you’ve had for decades. It says a lot about what a great person you are.🥰🥰🥰 Also how could you possibly have been friends for 30 years starting when you were 14. That would make you in your 40’s.😳 I thought at the most you would be in your mid 30’s.

  • @melissahyatt9626
    @melissahyatt9626 Месяц назад +21

    I so identify with the gifts and stuff being shoved somewhere “for now” and then not getting back to it. I had to make a rule that gift bags get emptied out when they get home and stuff gets put where it goes (bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, closet, wherever). Stuff I buy at the store or Amazon boxes get unloaded and things put where they go. The struggle is real and I just have to keep at it for my own peace of mind. Ya’ll did a great job!

    What a good dose of reality! I really needed to process this "for now" thinking. I am so guilty of doing this. I am always thinking ahead and struggle to think currently. Which is definitely a step in the declutter process. I think your pal was totally ready for that level of situational thinking.

    That is a satisfying declutter, I like the reflection at the end; clearing the space to clear the mind. This is a good demonstration of what can be done in a bit of time. The sound is good , we could hear both of you well. Your friend did very well, I believe that in time she will be able to declutter even a bit more, I wouldn't accumulate gifts to give.
    And personally I now prefer to give time and share a treat with my friends when it is their birthday rather than give them stuff.
    My friends are at an age were stuff is more of a hindrance, we all have what we need.
    In my own journey to decluttering , I have a box close to the door for my donations, and each day, I try to find something that I can get clear from my house, that I dont use of love.

    Carla, I love how you ramped up your suggestions to get rid of things to Val as compared to some of your other videos, to deal with the fact that she is more reluctant to get rid of things. That's what I need, I find it so hard to let go. I realized today when cleaning out my junk drawer that I had set aside and saved a key copy I had made for my back door that was defective and doesn't work to open the door. Or any door. I've been storing that key since before the pandemic. Literally a defective house key that opens nothing. Why on Earth would I not have thrown that away? (I did throw it away today). :)

    Hi, my climbing days are coming to an end. I'm cleaning out my high shelves this week a little at a time. Love watching you. Tina, Al's wife

    Great fast declutter😊 Used space & it looks great. not sure how old the gift candles are just thought I’d mention the scents break down over time ❤ I’d label boxes organized in closet.

    My minimalism and decluttering tendencies are ALSO my Virgo Rising 😂

    For big declutterings like this I have a larve, very sturdy, durable table with foldable legs that i bring out for session like this. Not heving to work on the floor is a huge help and its easter to do because i can sit on a chair or even regulate it to standing hight. Easier on my back and makes decluttering much much better

    She's great and hilarious. I hope she messes it all up so you have to go back and we can get another Val video.

    I enjoyed this episode! She’s an ideal candidate.
