5 Phases for a Clutter-Free Closet | Declutter Tips

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

#declutter #clutterfree #minimalism 5 Phases for decluttering your closet and maintaining a clutter-free closet in the future. How I declutter now, after over 10 years of decluttering. While I'm not an extreme minimalist, I do use minimalism as a design tool for our home and for peace of mind. Decluttering, being more intentional about the items we buy and choosing to own less overall, can transform our lives, reduce stress and anxiety, while saving us time, energy and money.

    I still watch the 2012 Declutter series when I clean. I repeat less stuff less stress when am decluttering. It’s been a great mantra to remind me.

    I admire your minimal style Christine. I've never seen a woman decide not to have even one dress or skirt before! I like the way that you do you. Women use clothes for emotional fulfillment, but it's never ending. The less I think about clothes, the more peaceful I feel.🌼

    So great to see your organization and declutter videos and yes, more please! :) You have always been my favorite from way back in the days of your "less stuff, less stress" videos! You were way ahead of the times with doing minimalism before it was a trend! Love and appreciate you Christine! xo

    I, too, will go back to your first few declutter videos. The best part of them is your inner dialogue that you shared with us. You were frustrated then disgusted by all that you “collected”! You broke the internet and started others, including me, to let go of the madness of keeping all this stuff!!!

    I was in my early twenties in college and drowning in stuff. My family would make me feel so guilty for letting things go even if they had no use of anything I no longer wanted. I saw your decluttering videos, the “Less Stuff, Less Stress” series, and everything just clicked. I let go of most of my stuff and only kept what I loved, and I’m so thankful. My husband and I are more minimal and intentional with our belongings, and it’s made the biggest difference in terms of moving apartments, cleaning, and even what we purchase. I know this is a dramatic comment, but I am so thankful for your content and advice, and you inspired me to go vegetarian and cruelty free as well. Thank you for being you!

I then divided my fall/winter stuff into stuff that wd go better with tan and things that wd def' go best with black. I have 2 very narrow closets, so now I can 'closet shop' in 2 dif spots. It's made things so much easier!

    Thank you for this video. Best declutter video I have seen in a long time. I get demotivated early in my closet challenge and I just realized it is decision fatigue. T Early today I declutter my bags and although I eliminated some it still felt overwhelming. Now I know is because I did not really have tangible step. Did I use this bag in last year? Simple but brilliant. I was asking do I love it? Of course I love them. I bought them. They are beautiful. But i don’t use them. Some over 2 or more years. Some never used them because they are not practical. Mentally I was going through them in my head as you spoke and I surely I can go back and eliminate at least half of them. Will do that first thing tomorrow…follow your process.
