Yes! I love that. I wish I were more that way but I just am not. My brain is wired to attach a lot of information and references to material items. They are like repositories of memory for me. Hence decluttering--while liberating in some practical ways--can also be very painful for me.

A phrase I've always lived by to prevent clutter...."When in doubt, throw it out." My Dad told me if you don't use a kitchen cooking item in 5 years get rid of it. You'll never use it.

Don't throw away any of your towels yet or any cloth. You can use it to wrap fragile things for the move like plates and cups! My grandparents had a lot of towels and after they died, and we were cleaning out the house, we used them to wrap all the fragile things we were taking home with us. Then we got rid of the ones we didn't want.

After my parents died, I kept two hair towels that I had always used in High School. I was still young when they passed. Anyway, here it is 30 years later and I’m still using my hair towels that I found at my parents’ house. Sometimes it’s the simplest things that evoke such wonderful memories.

"We are all people and we all have mess." My favorite quote. You are so right. Best wishes on your move.

My husband likes to keep a bunch of unnecessary things that drives me crazy. But every now and then I put away everything that is not necessary. I mostly leave it next to the containers in bags because we have a settlement nearby with the socially vulnerable who take it and benefit them more than us. A large amount of things in the house makes me feel nervous and uncomfortable, even anxious. Here, in Serbia, life is quite similar to that in Russia, we have similar problems, a similar mentality and a similar social situation, so it is really smarter to give all the surplus to those who need it. And I honestly don’t see any gain from being too material. I think it distracts a person from their spiritual and intellectual being and imposes superficial goals in life. Greetings from Belgrade.

When I was little my mother took me on a train to visit my grandparents. It was a long trip half-way across US. We had a sleeping car and I can still recall the clickity-clack of the train on the track and I was quickly asleep. The next morning we were in the dining car having breakfast and I needed to use the restroom. It was just down the hall a short way, and a very small bathroom, so I was allowed to go by myself. When I was done, I came out and turned the wrong way down the hall and ended up in the kitchen. I just remember walking in, feeling very lost, and three men looked up from what they were doing and got the biggest smiles on their faces and they greeted me warmly “hello”, they said. Another asked me politely, “little girl, are you lost?” Then I’m not sure if a waiter took me back to the table or if my mother came and got me. I think it was the waiter. I absolutely loved (what little I can recall) of that train trip! Agatha will LOVE it!! She is a very good traveler. You and your husband are wonderful parents. ♥️

Holy Moly Vika. What true words you spoke. We are all humans and have mess in our homes. Me and my wife we are just going through a deep cleansing of our house. Just bought some new furniture to put our stuff in it. It's already showing. Even though with a small child that eats wherever she can, whatever she can, keeping the house clean it's almost an impossibility. Bless you and your family.

I love how organised and decisive you are, it would've taken me forever to do this because I'd "reminiscing" and playing with my old toys lol

Krasnodar looks like a nice city! Moving can be such a hassle but is exciting at the same time. Good luck on your journey. Looking forward to the train vlog.

Me with my husband were moving abroad by plane. I was decluttering stuff during 6 months before. I tried to sell everything from furniture to underwear. We took with us 3 luggages (each about 22,9 kg) and 2 cabin bags on the board. Then my parents send us bicycles and 2 more luggages. We left only 1 bag with books and a small bag with different kitchen stuff. But I still have something to declutter 😁 Good luck

We live in a Converted School bus, into a tiny home. Living in such a small space, forces us to decluter all the time. Great video! Love your content!

yes, want to see more from Krasnodar! Hopefully you can FINALLY pick the interieur design objects you always wanted to have!! We also will move OFF-GRID to Sardegna from Berlin (Germany), so we are also very excited!! :*

I have moved many many times and packed by myself big houses and I agree with you. Room by room is best and that way when you de-clutter you can get rid of stuff little by little instead of being overwhelmed all at once. Hope your journey goes well and can't wait to see your new home.

Good luck on your move dear. I also love decluttering and the minimalist lifestyle. I do not like clutter. If my place is cluttered I feel my mind is also cluttered. I pray you have an easy and stress free move.

Hey Vika, boy you worked hard in this video, so much decluttering! I didn't think you had that much stuff left. But going on a train with a child across the country to a smaller place, you truly had to do this. Can't wait to see the next video, especially tour of the new home.

What good timing! We’re about to move and this is the perfect video to watch while I’m packing

Thank you for the videos. Many of the topics you talk about and the ways you cover them are a great point of information for us younger viewers who are just starting out living on our own and on the look for practical information.

Vika: You are a gold-medal winning declutterer! I need to be more like you. Best wishes for your move (especially the train ride) and your future. ❤

I love how you casually just grab a skull from your bookshelf. Definitely a must-have for any home! Also love your soft toy collection, definitely keep them all please (when it comes to soft toys, books and tea I am no minimalist!)! Looking forward to seeing your train vlog, I can't wait to see what it's like to travel for 27 hours by train!

I really enjoy your videos. It’s making me feel like decluttering. The last time I decluttered was 2 years ago when we moved and I felt SO GOOD after getting rid of so much unnecessary stuff.

You are so sweet! I am so impressed by your minimal life style . I look around my home and get overwhelmed ! Thank you for sharing! ❤️

I'm planning to move within a year so I'm giving myself that time to only keep what I can fit in my car. Ugh.. it's so hard. But you inspire me. Thank you 👍

Since you don't have a car, and will be traveling by train for 27 hours to your new destination, how will your household goods be moved? What caused this sudden decision to move? Looking forward to following you in your new adventure with your lovely family. Good Luck!

That block puzzle with your pictures on it that your mother gifted you was really neat..... I've never seen anything like that before

As someone who once rented the biggest U-Haul truck they had to move, I seriously need to do a major declutter. (I moved all major appliances too since none of my apartments have ever come with appliances so those took up a lot of space on the truck.) I lived in a much bigger apartment previously and some items just don't work where I live now because they're too big (such as dining room table). Wishing you the best for your move. I'm looking forward to seeing the process. I love moving and home organization vlogs.

Congratulations on a great job of decluttering. You are an inspiration to many people with your system of getting rid of things that you really don't need. Wishing you a safe and comfortable trip to your new home. 👍🤗❤🙏🌎
