Your videos have been truly inspiring, I can't wait for the weekend to start the action!!!

I've been decluttering since Monday and, oh boy, I got rid of so much stuff. I 've already taken a trip to The Salvation Army and my trunk is good to go to another drop off at Goodwill. I got rid of the junk hidden in my bags, bathroom, nightstand, kitchen drawers, makeup vanity, dresser, garage... you name it! I'm feeling lighter and my mind is clear. Thank you Carla for this awesome series. It came at the right time!

I’m glad it’s not just me! My husband works from home too but when he’s gone I get THE MOST work done around the house 😂

"This needs to be done by someone-I guess me" I laughed so hard. Life of a single person-you have to do it ALL! I'm enjoying these videos, it's amazing what you can find to get rid of if you really look. I just did a big move so I don't have it in me to declutter right now, but I will next time!

My story is that my house is very cluttered. I’m a single mom of two teens and a dog. I’m a widow so my mood and motivation are not there all the time. I have faith in god which helps me live one day at a time. I absolutely love Carla’s series. It’s very inspiring. I love samsom as well. I gave myself the gift of redoing the floor in my garage for my recent birthday. I started decluttering about two months ago. I knew this was the little push I needed to get rid of things. A lot of my late husband’s belongings were in the garage. I went through everything. I donated things. I gave things to friends and family. I threw things away. Then I moved into different places of my house where clutter was present. I would say I have decluttered about 60% of my excess stuff. It’s a work in progress and it has a snowball effect. The more you get rid of, the more you want to keep going. It makes me feel accomplished. I have new goals to stay on a budget and not do mindless shopping. Thank you Carla for the inspiration! Good luck to all the people in this community that try to be their better selves each day. One step at a time y’all. Happy 2023!

Not sure where I heard it...... Stop buying storage solution receptacles and deal with the clutter! You nailed it!💌

Carla, you have no idea what a lifesaver you are. I did a sweep through my medications cupboard yesterday. I had a lot of meds that had been prescribed on a trial basis for several things. But I also had a stockpile of drugs (painkillers) that I had left over from several surgeries (I have a high pain tolerance so didn't take many). I hung onto 4 different scripts over the last few years, thinking I might want to take them when my chronic pain got worse. However, more recently, the thought had crossed my mind that IF I ever was sick and tired of being sick and tired, well, that would be the way to go. I have NEVER attempted suicide in my 67 years of life but my mother did a few times. 🙏❤🙏 Anyway, I had an appointment yesterday (annual Medicare exam), so I rounded up all my surplus meds and confessed to my primary care doctor about my thoughts. She could not take the pills but told me that police departments and some drugstores have disposal bins for drug disposal, so I got rid of them that way. She upped my antidepressant temporarily because apparently I have Seasonal Affective Disorder on top of my chronic depression. She also recommended a few other things I can do to feel better and I have another appointment with her in one month. Plus I have regular therapy sessions with a counselor already. Carla, had it not been for this Decluttering series, who knows how long I would have kept my "stash" 💊💊💊 . . . just in case. 🤷‍♀️ Your video on cleaning when not feeling well and/or depressed really helped me, too. With your encouragement, I know that every day that I declutter even a little bit, I will have more peace of mind! 😊 I also appreciate the coaching you have been providing through e-mail with this series. Thank you!

Oh my Gosh! We have the same shit!

Samson supervising is pure sweetness🥰🐾another great video!!

I absolutely am so inspired each time I watch you declutter. My whole house is in desperate need of a thorough clean out and it seems so overwhelming. I have to remind myself break it down . It WILL get done!!

The 1st and 2nd day of this challenge I really had a fire under my butt to declutter my daughters room (away for college) that I was using as the Christmas gift room before I wrap presents. I pulled the stuff into the living room to have an area to work in that was more organized and streamline my process (LOL), but the stuff was really bothering me so I started wrapping away and finished all the wrapping in the two nights. I'm so happy. Tonight I'll go home after work and organize the wrapping paper and supplies I used and get the room back to where I want it. I find that putting things in my car for goodwill/donation helps to remove any anxiety I may have with stuff sitting waiting for a home. I spend more time in my apartment than in my car, so it's nice to have an apartment with pretty things instead of things that don't serve me anymore. Thank you Carla you are gem and I always look forward to your videos.

Hi Carla, i needed to go to Florida & help my mom empty her very cluttered house! We made countless truckloads to the Thrift shop! I told her about your channel & your technique with the brown bags with handles!! We went to Aldi & got some & it was a game changer for her!!! She really started a sorting system! I thank you SO much for your videos & great tips💕💕

You're singing my song, Carla. I am a pile-r, mound-er, and dropper by nature and have a soft spot for containers of all sizes and shapes. Watched this within eye-shot of a tabletop basket near my front door. I'd put it there with a purpose and my strategy ended there. I just cleared it of 5 pairs of sunglasses (I only have one pair of eyes and one face.), and all manner of miscellany. Most everything went to their homes -- some to trash. Then did the same with a similarly intended basket by my back door, and that might get a second look. Most everything was out of place n both instances -- dropped and forgotten. I think only one item went into donations, but I'm satisfied with this brief round for now. Thanks for the easily relatable examples, and inspiration.

I have tons of these things that you put things in - then those are all organised, but not the contents of the boxes, bags, piles etc! Finding 25 things will be a piece of cake! It's like I have a house full of these temporary containers for coralling smaller things. I'm so pleased you made this choice for today. Good to see that Samson continues to take his role as Quality Control Manager so seriously, LOL! See you tomorrow... 🙂

Hello Carla! It's like a Christmas present for me to have your video every day. Thank you for the effort!

Thank you for showing this! I have SO many of these clutter bins…one in each room for sure. I have a bathroom clutter bin that has been sitting in the bathroom for a month…😂 Love this declutter series ! You should do it every season :) and so should I lol. Always love your videos, feels like we’re hanging out. Keep it up ❤

The clutter piles are what stress me out so much. It overwhelms me.

I know it’s the hardest to Declutter these piles because it’s filled with so much randomness. I just pick one pile in one item at a time💖

Sampsons facial expressions are life 🤣🤣🤣

I think you need to change this from 5 days to 31! I'm already dreading the last day...I'm enjoying this so much!!!

I donated two bags full of items and I can’t wait to find more things to declutter and be able to manage what I have and need without the extra clutter I can’t deal with all the clutter anymore . Growing up we always had way too many extras and yes some very rarely would come in handy but other items would eventually get tossed or messed up from not being used etc so no more. I want our new year to be peaceful and manageable and happier knowing it’ll be easier to clean and maintain. ❤ Here’s to many more decluttering and happier times with family ❤

I'm visiting my parents at the moment and started to go through two cabinets in my moms office. Organizing, relocating, donating and trash. I believe we get it finished tomorrow. I'm really proud of my mom since she is quite quick with decission making. I try to do one little zone whenever I'm on a visit here. Last time it was the kitchen cabinet :)

It's so interesting to watch how you declutter. It's such a good idea to put everything in different bags. I will get some bags from the dollar store and do the same thing. I realize now that the reason I don't like to declutter is because I don't know where to put the things. Now I'll have a bunch of bags and it will be easy to bring them to the Salvation Army.

Carla I'm so glad I found your channel. I seem to spend vast amounts of time cleaning yet nothing looks tidy because I need to declutter. Since watching your videos only a few days ago I've decluttered about 90% of the junk in my sitting room. So it looks so much better. Next is kitchen cupboard and drawers and a hutch cabinet in the sitting room. My biggest downfall in my house is clothes. Way way too many which means I can sometimes not do.a wash for a week and then I never get caught up. I rarely put the clean clothes away in time and they end up mixed in with dirty clothes to get washed again, Vicious cycle. You have inspired me so much I'm going to tackle the clothes situation after I finish my kitchen. Thank you so much, I think my guardian angel sent me to your channel.
