going drawer by drawer is definitely easier to do than one big de-clutter. Especially when you have SO MUCH SHIT. Trying everything on is also a big help. You can think you still like something but when you actually put it on you hate it, or it doesn't fit anymore. I do this in Spring to know what I have for the coming warm weather and then again in Autumn. One in, one out has also helped me.

I don't want to feel like I own more things than I,can realistically take care of/wear/use, and I am definitely at that point. I've already given up my shopping habit for months now, and I started selling some of my new with tags clothing. 😓

One thing I notice with myself is if I am constantly shopping I always feel like I don't have enough or I am always lacking. If I stop shopping and start using my stuff I feel like I have excess and can not use everything in a year's time. Excessive hoarding is a psychological problem but so is excessive decluttering. A decade ago, I actually had to receive health services for excessive decluttering and was diagnosed with OCD. Both extremes are bad. I am now in a healthier place where I don't feel like I have to throw everything out and also where I am not constantly shopping.

Same! If you're in "buying-mode" then nothing will feel enough. But ever since I took a step back and indexed my wardrobe on Indyx (after seeing Christina's video with them) I realized I have 120+ pieces in my collection (WITHOUT activewear or loungewear) and plenty of room to create outfits. I recognized a few gaps in my pieces that I plan to cover, but I don't think I need more than another 10 KEY items to have a complete wardrobe - and even those aren't "mandatory" to buy (no matter what a fashion bloggers might say). So keep styling over buying, people!

0:25 stuff stresses me out too. I used to buy things I wanted often and then the past year I’ve realized I decluttered a lot of those things I once felt I “needed”. Now I’ve been decluttering little by little but I keep thinking “I wanna declutter today”. I fear that I will only be left with a bed at the end of it all lol 😂

After my father-in-law passed away, a number of things ended up at our house and before it was over with, our garage was packed to exploding. My husband started talking about us building a shed in our backyard. I balked. And I'm so glad I did. We spent two days cleaning up the garage, and not only were we able to put everything away once we organized and threw out a bunch of stuff, we had space to spare. I think this is one of your best videos yet.

So true about the Marie Kondo technique! Such a profound way of sorting through belongings, but the bringing everything out at once makes me want to crawl into bed and burrow under the covers. Most people need to take it slow. Nothing like seeing your closet on the middle of your floor to say forget about it.

Wow! I purchased two additional document organizers because all the paperwork that we accumulated over the years were bulging out of the ones I had. I suppose I could have just gone through everything and shredded some of these papers. At the age of 67, there is so many documents that add up. That is my biggest struggle. I also don't want to leave a lot of "stuff" for my adult children to go through when the time comes. Thanks for these reminders on how important it is to keep up with all our "stuff."

When something starts annoying me, when something is shabby, when I don't like the person that gave it to me; those are all my indicators that it's time to do some decluttering! Plus I have fun organizing my drawers, cupboards and closets.😊 I really enjoyed your tips, you share wise advice!

I know it’s time to declutter when I run out of clothing hangers!

I couln't agree more. Seeing you slip off your Birkenstocks reminded me about my acquisition problem. I found a pair of Birkenstocks whilst on holiday in Spain in January AND, they were in the sale and they fit me Cinderalla style. I was thrilled. They are silver and cool. So as soon as I got back from my holiday I thought "Oooh I love these sandals so much I am going to buy another pair" and I went coco loco online browsing styles, colours, special offers and then ... I got a grip of myself and thought "the silver ones are perfect, they'll last and I'll wear them everyday - I don't NEED anymore". Your videos are a great fix for me to pull back so they're like a therapy in themselves. Thank you, all the way from London ... keep up the great work!

a sign for me to start decluttering is usually when i start to feel restless in my own space! like you said, you should feel relaxed when you're in your home/room, but when i start feeling irritated or unsettled within my own space i'm like ok time to go through my things lol i'm in my 5th (or 6th?) wave of decluttering since the pandemic started and i honestly still have a ton of stuff-- i'm planning to do a full konmari declutter this time!

You inspired me to immediately begin decluttering 😊

I have been decluttering all my life. I am 62. It’s so easy.

This year, I have boxed each top and dress I wear. That makes me road test what's left in my closet. That way I can REALLY determine why i'm not wearing that other stuff. I've gotten rid of so many tops - many don't fit, are poorly maintained, etc.

Great process! 😊

When you feel that you dont have space for your things it is a great sign that you are overspending and should cut down on consumption or at least be more mindful of what you spend your money on and why

Since I’ve been cataloging my wardrobe in the Indyx app, I started to realize a lot of my tops are wrinkled despite being hung up because my closet is so overstuffed! That was pretty eye opening for me. When you can’t even keep your clothes from being creased just by existing in your closet…well…it’s something I need to address for sure

I know the answer before even watching the video 😂 I'm moving next week, and it's been an adventure haha. Great video as always

GREAT vid today!! Ok, so our litmus test is: will guests feel this room is for them when they visit? Then I know my stuff is under control. We have a small log home. We love it, and when we moved from our other house (of 16 years) we downsized /suddenly didn't have: 1000 sf, a 2 car garage, a full basement to keep stuff in. We got rid of soooo much and it felt so good. After that, we didn't want anything to be truly uselessly stored. We have one closet we share and it's half full. We keep the top drawers of our dresser empty for guests. We have one closet under the stairs, which is well organized for seasonal decorations, which i can easily get out and put back. We kept our books to three antique bookshelves from my childhood home. It feels so good to have NOTHING hidden in closets, cabinets or any other storage. The master suite is downstairs, and we want guests to stay here when they come, because it's the nicest room . SO...we keep our bedroom in such a way that it is easy to move our toiletries and clothes out of our drawers (bathroom too) into the other bathroom and room upstairs via little baskets and laundry basket, so it will be theirs (so they won't feel like they are in "our" room). Keeps things quickly categorized to "is this worth moving back and forth? will it fit in the other room?" Works for us🥰

Nice AIR B N B

I saw the title and started laughing hard because I have a whole 2 storage rooms i need to go through because um guess who has too much stuff??? In my defense, i inherited all of my Moms things and my grandparents things about 4 years ago when my mom passed so When i was taking care of her estate most of the stuff was sentimental, and I could not get rid of it now i am starting the process of purging.

I declutter at least once a month. I gave away all my dorm stuff now that I’ve graduated college twice- Class of 2020 and Class of 2022. I keep winter clothing in another closet. Books spill over and I won’t give them away unless I have no use for them.

Just found your channel, great content, thanks! ❤️I recently started a decluttering and shedding process. Our house is a mess (3 kids, 2 cats, we both work fulltime). We tend to hang on to things and our children are fastpaced and changes activities freequently. I’m not a minimalist, I’m more of a ”naturalhistorical museum person”, but i can’t relax in this mess, so it’s time. Stylewise I’m lost right now, I’ve been wearing the same uniform for about 12 years, and it worked well for me to this point, now these clothes are worn, dated or ”too young”. I need to shed, and I’ve done it before, but it is harder now with less time/energy and more obligations. I made some panic-purchases, that made me understand that I really need to keep focused and plan my purchases well, as I’m also on a budget. I will try to make a wishlist and find out my ”3 words” next. I hang on to favouriteclothes that are in really bad condition, I guess I’m overcompensating for my panic-purchases with these zombieclothes.

You’re inspiring and I’m on a big declutter journey right now. I realised that my style has changed a lot over the past few years. I’m now refining my wardrobe and it’s improving each week 😊A few weeks ago I went through my old paperwork and we’ve used it to light the log burner so it’s gone permanently without me worrying about shredding it all

Your videos always make me want to sort and do more decluttering lol. I ultimately do believe that overshopping is reflective of my mental health or identity crisis mode...I wondered though, maybe if you could speak to having a different style of 'clutter' or 'collecting' than your partner. My partner is very very minimalist. Before meeting me, he only used one bar of soap for everything, but he gets stressed out by my clutter, but we live in a very small apartment. So, yeah, I wonder if maybe a future video could be about couple stuff...what is a good compromise etc.

Everything I own fits into a small storage unit but it still overwhelms me. Def time to declutter

I know I have too much stuff when I can't see everything at once. I like to have about 20% empty space in my closets, drawers, shelves. It's definitely a process and I'm just about there. The thought that repeats in my mind now is - I already have everything I need. Most purchases now are nice to have and aren't necessities.

I haven't decluttered in a while. I need that good dopamine fix!

I declutter every time I switch capsuls. I switch capsuls many times a year not only seasonal as I have them colour cordinated. Anything that does not fit or for some reason is not used is taken directly to my Maybe bin. When that gets a bit full I take it to the charity. But in the meantime it haspens that I change my mind. Today I am wearing a sweater thats’ been in the maybe box several times 😂

Thank you! So many of these warning signs rang true for me

Great video! For me it’s a couple of combination points. I know I have a “thing” but get so overwhelmed trying to find it that I go out and buy it again. So frustrating! Christina would you ever be interested in doing a video on how a couple can stay organized together? I find that I might be organized in one thing but my spouse isn’t or vice vera. Wondering how other couples figure this out and stay consistent. Thanks!

These are such good checkpoints for recognizing clutter! I totally agree that buying organizers before attempting decluttering is a mistake, recently I wanted to buy a bunch of photo boxes for old family photos. But when i actually looked through them, nearly 2/3 were duplicates or just terrible shots. So I ended up needing two containers instead of 6 or 7. A few other thoughts that guide me are: Am I avoiding projects or cleaning that I want to do because I have to work around my stuff? Am I embarrassed or ashamed to let my friends see this space? How annoying would the process be if I had to move shortly?

It is like you were in my head yesterday! I was feeling very over the amount of stuff in house/life and cycled thru many of the feelings and ideas you highlighted. Another great video!

I love the way you laugh 😃👏🏻👏🏻

Great vid!

When your clothes start falling out of your wardrobe. I plan on doing this really, really soon is a great way to know you have too much stuff. Thanks for this video. I sadly live with a pack rat who I keep trying to change sadly not working so my house is wayyyyyyyyy too full of things but, I cant touch their stuff.

My favorite saying, "you own it, you carry it."

This is so funny because you talk a lot about stress in this video, but organizing (which yes, often comes with a bit of decluttering) is something that helps a lot when I feel stressed and overwhelmed in other areas of my life. My favourite thing to organize is my books, and this morning, I am this close to hiring someone to mess up my books organisation just to have an excuse to do it 😅 Not to diminish the quality of your content though, loved the video as always 😘

#8 is an interesting one. When I shop in stores/the mall I am excited to try the things I bought when I get home. Online shopping - not as much (depends on the source). And #10 finding things is an issue that does crop up!

This was definitely me before my major declutter the other week Stuff was stuffed in I didn't want to open one wardrobe it was just too much Feel way better now I've got more space There's still a bit of clutter but that's just because I don't think minimalist is for me I still have plenty of space now Still can't resist a mini declutter every so often 😂😊

Number 8 was a little too loud as I have a bag and packages staring at me right now. 😅

I need a video about how to notice that you don't own enough😅 I always was so much about decluttering, but then 2022 happened, and I decluttered all of my stuff, went through everithing I ever owned, and than emigrated with two suitcases (leaving some things behind, not everything got thrown away, but still). And it feels very strange in my usual internet spaces, which are all about getting rid of stuff! Took me almost a year to realise, that I mostly need to buy enough stuff, not get rid of it now. Still getting used to it. Just wanted to share:)

Hmmm....so this description reminds me so much of how I've heard people talk about insulin resistance and how it develops into non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. I watch a lot of keto videos too. If there is too much sugar to process, it gets stored as fat and we get a belly. I wonder...back in the day before fast food, people weren't as heavy, didn't have as many clothes, either... I used to really be interested in 100-year-old houses and there were no closets. There might be a row of hooks on a bedroom wall, where you'd hang up your three garments overnight, but no closets. A closet was maybe a "wardrobe" piece of furniture you could move from place to place if need be. All in all, we have too much sugar, too much weight, too much stuff, and I wonder if it's related somehow.

I was stunned when I had a follow up appointment with my Nerologist to discuss struggling to increase a new medication. He then proceeded to tell me I was “his smallest patient” on this new medication, and that I may need a lower dose then the pharma company recommends for the “average person” I almost spit out my coffee.. I am petite 5’0 but i weight the heaviest I have in my adult life. 150 pounds. That’s a lot for my height. Before the illness and the steroid injections (for medical treatments) sat at 108/118 which was normal for me. That means I’m up 40+ pounds and I’m his smallest patient. I’m overweight. Not morbidly obese. But to be a bit over weight and be called small. Wow 🤯 that was an eye opener. Sorry for lengthy message

The "Letting Things Sit There" one really hit home with me. Yikes.

The way I SCREAMED when you had Daddy H vid on here. Girl, yes! All the yes.

ok damn. you didn't have to call me out like you did. hahaha jk. i am definitely overwhelmed and know i need to declutter, but i've allocated a couple hours a week to decluttering. I can't do it all at once or it will seem too daunting.

somehow my drawers and closet are stuffed even though I wear the same few items all the time! I have such a hard time parting with things even though I dont wear them anymore

You should do a video about kibbe body types and how to dress for them!

Easier decluttering - NOTE first 4 steps involve NO decluttering - and even if you declutter nothing, your stuff situation will improve by doing this. - choose a category (clothing, books, etc) (I wil use clothing as example) - sort items into sub categories that are appropriate for you - work vs non-work, summer vs winter, short sleeve tops vs long sleeve tops, etc. Keep sorting into sub-categories until you have a solid picture and grasp of what you have. - quickly put items in each category in order of most loved/used to least loved/used. Don't angst over it, you just want a rough order of each sub-category. - For clothing, kitchen, etc categories - pull out what I call a baseline - what you physically need for a one week to two weeks period to just function (if you house was being remodeled and you needed to live somewhere else for a month, what would you need). - Now you should have a good grasp of what you have and so you can start to think about sorting out what you want to keep vs what you want to pass on. During the sorting process your mind will already start thinking about what to keep/declutter because that is your motivation to do this process.

Great advice....off topic i was wondering how old are you( if thats not a secret) coz you look sooooo young and yet somehow you have so many great tips and experience...maybe you'll consider a skincare video one day, you look absolutely stunning!!❤❤

I have decluttered my closet. But I need to find somewhere to keep my handbags. I put them on the shelf in our closet. But I need to put my jeans on the shelf. I can’t put them in the guest room closet. My granddaughters will find them and ask if they can have them. I did just order some jeans, which I’m going to return. I had a small chest of drawers in my bedroom. And most of the jeans in there fit me. So I’m taking the other pairs back. I don’t need them. So I am doing better with my clothes. And that’s my worst vice. My next place to declutter is my laundry room. We do live in a small house. And that’s where everything that doesn’t have a home goes. But it won’t be there after this month. My husband actually cleaned some stuff out of the office. Now I’m going to get rid of things in there too. If I could get rid of him. I wouldn’t have as much clutter.

I am overwhelmed by all my papers and waiting to get organiser storage files and then shred the rest. I don’t know how all this paper piled up but it’s so stressful! 😣

How long will this AG1 offer last? I’ll be able to purchase about two weeks from now.

Can you please do a video on botox and filler & other in office procedures you tried if you had any? You look great and if I remember correctly you have mentioned these in the past (if not please ignore this I don’t want to be rude or say you look like you got anything done - you don’t, you look very natural, hence why I’m asking ❤️)

The bit about not opening packages right away is so true for me😂 great tips. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve never forgotten what I’ve owned to buy it again. A blessing/problem I have is inheriting masses of handmedowns. Handmedown clothes. Handmedown furniture. Handmedown dishware. Handmedown lawn equipment. Handmedown everything.

I am sure that I have too much stuff , but I feel bad when I have to throw in the garbage stuff -I have tried to sell some of my clothes and I did but I still have so many books, make up and even things from college! In my city there are not places to donate things so for much of my things it will have to be going to the bin. Would you have any advice? Thank you.
