It was interesting going to a thrift shop recently. I'm a crocheter and I saw a beautiful crocheted mermaid that someone had made on display. I realize it was more than likely a sentimental item that was donated and must have been very hard to part with. I tend to give projects I know are cluttering my space up to people who will enjoy them.

Miss you! Hope all is well.

Yes, you should forgive yourself for past mistakes, but you should also remember them so you can avoid making it a second time

Thanks for giving more than one way. All the other videos I've found are your #2 and it never looks all that good when I get finished. I think I'm going to try the first method from now one. :)

Just a suggestion but I find it easier to have a pint of Guinness before I start.

You’re awesome! I laughed all the way through your video. Every one of your points is a bull’s-eye. Laughter truly is the best medicine, and I’ve always thought some of the very best medicine is when we’re laughing at ourselves. I consider myself *intelligent. The * is for the areas of my life in which I’m actually quite dumb as evidenced by my choices. You make a lot of good points about passing things on and someone with less resources discovering that thing they’ve always desired, but couldn’t afford, and how it now gets new life. Like your story about the woman who reached for your daughter’s toy the moment you set it down, I struggle with my 100% certainty that the person who is going to get my donated thing is not a person who I would love to see finding it and enjoying it, but rather some re-seller SOB who trolls the charity shops and scoops up the premium items for a fraction of my cost, and re-sells them for a hefty markup. If I could control for the beneficiary, and if I’m honest, that’s *one of my problems, the loss of control over where my stuff goes, I would hand every single premium item I’m giving away directly to a deserving person rather than ‘risk’ that re-seller SOB making the profit I could’ve made myself if I had just sold it online. That’s not practical because I don’t know where all the deserving beneficiaries are this afternoon :/ The other problem is, I don’t feel like carving out the time for a side hustle selling things online. I just want them to find a good home without some other SOB’s markup. I’m ok with the charity’s markup, it’s a profit necessary to run their charity. It’s that re-seller SOB who has the $ to pay full price on Amazon that lives rent free in my head that’s the problem. Wait … maybe I am the problem …😂

That’s my birthday!🎉

Feb 16 is my bday can you pin me please

It’s very hard when you have everything from your Mom‘s house and she passed away so you took everything to your house and it’s hard to get rid of anything that my Mom had when she was young and my son passed away and she kept all his stuff and I have all his stuff inMom even had all her Grandma stuff so I have probably three or four peoples houses in my one house and I can’t even move and I don’t know what to do. It’s very hard to give something away. That’s part of somebody’s that was passed away.

I'm really struggling to part with the last remaining items of my former life that have been sitting in a storage unit for the past 5 years since I became homeless and started living in my caravan full-time. I have survived quite happily without those things (mainly memories stuff: photo albums, diaries, love letters from my kids when they were little, bric a brac and decorative items, cushions, curtains and bedding...just in case I ever have a house again 🤦‍♀️) lots of vintage clothing, lots of shoes...it's cost me almost $10,000 in storage and is not worth anything to anybody but letting it go feels like accepting I'll never have a house again and that's tough. I know I have to get rid of it, but I so loved reading Anne Franks diary when I was 13 and have been obsessed with maintaining memories of my own life ever since. I'm binge watching videos like this one to try and get me over the line of releasing my need to hold onto my stuff but it's so hard!

Hi, I’m about to Mike from LA to Madrid, I’m looking for moving companies, but I’ve seen on videos about so many scams so I’m worried I won’t choose a correct company, does anyone know about a good compay for international Moving that is trustworthy? Please 🙏!!!

Well no sheet!

worst part is. your brain trick you with thoughts ”this thing still new i will give to someone”. lol. you just fool yourself when 5 years later that thing still in your house and you can't even remember it until you saw it again. the best thing is 2 second decision for everything you not even use it for past 6 month . just put in black plastic bag. and don't look at inside anymore. throw it away asap. and you will notice your house so much bigger than you think. free clutter will make you feel peaceful.

Within 3-1/2 years, I moved to 5 states: TX AL FL CA LA. I just gave my notice this week. I only keep my favorites, and I get rid of everything that can replaced for less than $20 or within 20 Minutes at Amazon. If I have 2 of anything, I get rid of the larger items, bec I only keep what fits in my 12 large Totes: 1 Art supplies 2 Bathroom/Laundry 3 Blankets, Pillows 4 Cat food litter toy 5 Clothes Fall, Winter, 6 & Spring, Summer 7 Cooking, Appliances 8 Dine, Place Settings 9 Docs, Books, Pics 10 Office/Study 11 Pantry 12 Work Tools

I have kept so much information about my past because I have thought I would write my memoirs someday. I’ve had a fascinating life and at almost 66 years old, my sentimental items truly help me remember by triggering a sense memory or a name of someone I had forgotten, kind of like an old song that brings it all back. Very challenged to let it go.

Pray 🙏,It will enrich your life .I go for walks aw i pray .Then drink water

you are really energetic and humorous and it's very helpful

Dude january 9th is my birthday

Thanks for reminding us it doesn't have to be perfect.

New subscriber! Like your video style and advice, thank you ❤️ I agree with a lot of what you said. You reminded me of a few things I could do to improve my space! Thanks😄😄

One of your best videos many new ideas giving food for thought about why its important to declutter. It's refreshing when many other people's videos are simply recycling old ideas.

"Your home is not a storage unit" is a very good warning.

Remember to never do this while pmsing 😂😂…

I have the hardest time getting rid of my kids childhood toys and our homeschooling books. They hold so many memories and getting rid of them is like admitting my kids are grown up now and that part of my life is over. 😢. I have to keep telling myself they will bless another child who can’t afford to have something so nice ( my kids were a little spoilt and had nice things).

Wow this video was great! Hit it right on the head. Thanks so much !

This video you have made has,been one of the best out there,on de cluttering thanks

Still coming back to this one. I hope you are feeling okay.

I did that... now there's lots of folders in the newly renamed "overwhelm" folder. Interestingly, the older stuff is what l want to keep...

My Mom died at Christmas, and I'm her only kid. I'm 55F, LOL. I'm now the owner and live in her home, and I'm cleaning it out. I am legally blind, and this is home now. I have already donated about 70% of her stuff, and it has been DIFFICULT. I have lost SO much weight, that now I can fit into everything in her closet, so that worked out well. She died suddenly. I never saw it coming. I'm grieving. But cleaning the house out has kept me busy. I'm down to the nitty-gritty now. I need help=advice: How do I let go of the oldest, the most fragile, most personal porcelain figurine that my father bought my mom when they were dating. (This was in the mid 60's). There is also a chariot, with 6 porcelain horses, all reined together with tiny golden chain.... How do I deal with the GUILT of letting these last items go? I am not able to drive, so I can't bring them to a thrift store. I live so rural, on a dirt road. But it's the guilt---- and I'm still grieving. It's been 6 months. Should I wait longer? I need new furniture. That stuff is on the furniture the tv is on, and the tv is so high up, I can't see it! I need it lower, which means new furniture--so that stuff is in the way. God help me. I'm so lost and confused. I'm sorry to be rambling...... Came back to edit: The very last thing you said--the memories are not in the item itself, but in my head----THAT is what helped me the most. I'm off to get started now, with more decluttering. Thank you SO much! I'm a new subscriber now, I'm grateful for your advice. Just because you are younger than me doesn't mean that you don't have wisdom, because you sure do, and I am grateful for it. Thank you. -Molly in Florida, USA

I love the unicorn on her nightstand.❤

Her rainbow wall is beautiful.

Sooo helpful! Love this and use it more and more!

A skip. Best investment l ever made. Found myself clearing quickly. I don't want to live like this anymore. I am 65 ...enough. l choose...sanity, easy cleaning, enjoying cleaning imagine. Time for calm, mindful presence. Shopping addiction l feel sad l experienced that and financially l am sadder. But...l am now ready. I already feel l could sleep for a month. I feel so calm.

My birthday

I'm a weirdo who loves moving, of I don't move at least once every 4 years I feel suffocated. I love how moving forces you to confront the things you've held onto just because you "had the space".

having multiple things of the same thing in different colors is whats causing the cluttered feeling, almost like a shop - looking and its the impression of wow a lot of things, i think doing more one tone of things would make it look more "together" than dividing in color blocks, our brains will focus more on details then, and thats what causes the clutter impression, try do more all blue and maybe white shades and some nature, and that would make it look more like a relaxing sea, than a sea picture with many colors in there

Put the bread maker on that empty top shelf🙂

Thank you for this amazing video. I will utilize your advice from now on & live a better, simpler life. ❤ Will be doing a big move soon & needed some advice to help manage the stress of my little families stuff. 😅
