Before I decluttered my jewelry, I decluttered my wardrobe. Then I matched them up. I actually stored the jewelry with the outfits - hung the necklaces around the hanger, put the earrings in the pocket or a baggie. So the only thing I have in my jewelry box is the extra universal type items that I didn't want to part with 'just in case'. Thank you for the motivation!

I love that idea. I started doing that for my mom before she died and we went to Dollar Tree and got the little organza drawstring bags in their baby shower section to put her jewelry in since it hangs on the hanger very well and we used the round key rings with the labels to label what each hanger was supposed to have on it. So when she took off the jewelry, she could still put it back on hanger even though the clothes had to be washed - then we'd hang her clean clothes on the hanger intended. Eventually we had to take pictures of the outfits to put on the hangers as she was not able to read the small writing but that's where lanyard's come in really handy - hold the pics on the hangers. Thank you so much for sharing your idea.

Love that idea!!!

Last year, as a self-care project, I went through my extensive collection of earrings, fixed the broken ones, found all the pairs, texted pics of the ones I didn't want to my daughters and mailed them the ones they liked. The rest are in my jewelry cabinet, color-coded! My little Bee heart is so happy with this.

There's nothing like being stuck in bed for 48hrs w a stomach virus and forced to stare at a pile of clutter on my dresser for added motivation. I love this challenge! Love ALL your challenges. I never feel alone in my journey of progress. Now that I'm better, I'm getting back on the horse! Thanks for all you do 💗

For the lanyards - Memories bin, travel supplies, or hang them on a hanger in the closet if you'll use them when you go back to a theme park

About two years ago I decluttered our bedroom big time. It has become a peaceful and restful space instead of a room where everything got shoved. It was filled with so much random clutter. My flat surfaces were piled up and there were multiple boxes of random things. I definitely had “goat paths.” Surfaces are now clear other than a framed picture or small trinket box. I am blessed to have a large enough room, that with some strategic positioning of the furniture, I now also have a clear and private workout space away from everyone else including four dogs who liked to come visit me while I was trying to do push-ups or crunches on my mat in the living room. So grateful for all of the inspiration that got me started and keeps me going!

I have found that when I keep a tidy, decluttered bedroom I sleep so much more peacefully.

Suggestions for the Disney items- use a lanyard for your keys, so handy to be hands free! Then put all the pins on a favorite backpack, fanny pack, or hat. It will be a nice conversation starter and contained in one place.

this decluttering challenge is coming close to completion, day 19, and what I notice is by doing some physical decluttering I also notice a mental decluttering, getting a sense of where to focus on in my life and what my next steps will be of things that I want to do. Before starting I felt a bit confused about where to focus my energy what to do, what not to do and also not knowing where to start etc. That feeling of overwhelm but today I got new inspiration, like one thing I want to do soon is a workshop on horse coaching and trauma, and also next week on Friday I start a new training on called "intuition practitioner", at the beginning of June I will be part of an art route in my village where artist open their houses or studio's for the public for one day. I am an artist and this will be my first time showing my art to the world, also two pieces will be exhibited elsewhere and that idea popped up during this challenge, I mean I knew it existed, but the process of decluttering having a moment of clarity (mental) and check it out and make a call if it is still possible to join and YES. So yes, this challenge is much more to me than just decluttering physical stuff, it also has been a mental decluttering. Thank you, Steph!!! I love how you share your things with the world.

I'm kind of a messy person, but thankfully I do have a habit of making the bed in the morning and grabbing whatever I put on our tiny bedside stool/dresser the night before. I have so many areas to improve, it's nice to have a little thing going well. I'll declutter jewelry with you! Thanks for this series!!

My dressers become my hotspot in my bedroom. It's where things live that "don't have a home". Today's challenge might be "simple", but it's also the one where I have to make decisions. Ack!

Definitely need to do this one, my bedside table is overflowing with things I “might need” and won’t want to get out of bed for. The reality is, if I wake up needing something, I will have to get up and go to the bathroom anyways 😆

Decluttering my jewelry box will be very rewarding. So many pieces are outdated. I was an Avon Representative for 15 years, 20 years ago, so you can imagine…. Thanks Steph! See you tomorrow!

I love these short declutter videos. I feel like I accomplished something every day doing these.

3:35 our children have these lanyards with some Disney pins that we put in their memory bin. Eventually yes, the bin will go to them and they can, when they're older, start removing things to keep other things (using the container method). It's their bin!

Girl! This is 100% a spot for me. No one sees it. So it’s easy to put the things I don’t know where to put here. I added a container for me and my husband for put our pocket items in! Thanks again Steph!

I just did my jewellry, amazing how much I never use. I would take the pins off the lanyards, put them in a memory box and toss the lanyards. Thanks again for the series, love it!

Decluttering makes such a huge difference!

Toss the lanyards...you can do it! 😉 Decluttering really does feel refreshing.

I REALLY LOVE this month of decluttering, I am mostly done with the deckutter in my house, but having you going over your house inspire me to double check my spaces.... it's so powerful to see someone doing this, thank you for these month of inspiration... did I say I LOVE this?...

This was the motivation I needed to quickly clean off my dresser! So much better now!

Decluttering all the surfaces makes such a difference! Cleared flat surfaces and found items forgot had lol Thanks again for the inspiration!

I decluttered so much jewelry! I decided to hang up my necklaces on the wall with command hooks and put my bracelets on a mirrored tray I thrifted. Seeing my jewelry makes me so happy! It's like an art piece. I think now that all my jewelry's in sight, I won't find the jewelry racks at the store so tempting!

One great tip I remember from Adam Savage: if you always look for a thing in a specific place, that is the best place to put it.

Yes! Use the lanyards. Then you can enjoy them every day. If you want to put the pins in the memory bins then that will be a physical reminder of the trip, but it’s much smaller then the lanyard. Love this series!

I love this day! I have been changing up my jewelry lately and adding a few more costume type things but have not taken one item out. Thank you. Glad you touch on those places that I don’t normally see as “duh places”. Of course everywhere gets clutter. Lol.

I will need to rewatch the series a few times. Decluttering one drawer or cranny at a time is helpful. This little task still makes a difference.

I love the idea of adding your special Disney lanyards to your memory bins and then using your volunteer lanyard for keys or something else around the house. Hope you landed on a solution you’re happy with!

I did this last weekend and found gold dauphin 🐬 earrings and a butterfly 🦋 pin my brother gave me when I was a kid. I have kept them all these years and I didn't want to just give them away. I've decided to send them to my niece, his daughter, who's turning 7 next week. I'm sure she'll love them too!! ✨🥰

I literally decluttered my jewelry several years ago. I am very simple and only wear my diamonds as they go with everything...rings, necklaces, bracelet, earrings with the exception of my watch, a ruby and sapphire rings. I love it!!!

I am so grateful for this decluttering challenge! It'll be good to revisit it every so often to stay on top of the clutter 💚

Even if a drawer is decluttered but obviously that can't be seen from the outside, just "knowing" it's decluttered and orderly makes me feel better.

Hi Steph 👋 We keep all of our clothes in the closets in baskets and hanging bins. No dresser, because flat surfaces collect stuff. And we keep smaller wardrobes which helps in many ways.

I never thought to declutter so many of theses areas in my house. THANK YOU STEPH!

Everyone should have a memory box for baby cloths first shoes and things like lanyards and only keep what fits in box so you have to go through and decide if it gets full. Minimal mom does this well you and your hubby should have one to. Your bracelet should go in there to.

Dawn at The Minimal Mom suggests having a memory bin for each member of the family. If you had a memory bin you would have a place for your lanyards.

I can't remember if I've already said this, but I really appreciate that you don't declutter other people's stuff!

I’m cracking up that you found another lottery ticket! I feel like I’ve learned so much about you during this month of decluttering. I’ve loved this series 😊

My bedside table is always a drop zone for mail and random junk. It's drives me crazy. Sometimes I think about just getting rid of it, but I like having a spot for a small lamp and to put my phone since it's also my alarm. Flat surfaces-- useful, but hot spots that (for me) need daily attention. Thanks so much for this series. It's super motivating!

It’s fun to declutter WITH you!! My family and I are moving in a month and you have helped motivate me to get rid of all the things I don’t need instead of just packing them and carrying them with us.

After having a stroke 8 weeks ago I haven't been able to do much, however I was able to sort out my yarn storage unit thank you Steph for giving me the motivation

My dresser happens to be my dump spot, so this will be quite the challenge. Random holiday leftovers I missed when i put the rest in storage, a pile of my son's too small clothes I need to put away, and tons of books to go through and see what I need to donate vs keep! This will feel so good when I'm done!!

I devoted a drawer of my dresser to my jewelry and it's made such a difference. I love polymer clay earrings and now I can actually SEE them to choose the ones I want!

I hope all of these videos will be grouped in a playlist at the end of the month, because I seriously need to start at the beginning and not just watch!

Like some other commenters... my bedroom is minimalistic because I discovered that clutter in the bedroom was contributing to my sleep disorder. It was too much a reminder of all the things that needed to be done ... accosting my brain right before bedtime... causing anxiety and a busy mind... right when I needed to calm my mind for sleep. Now my bedroom is easily tidied , always calm, serene and peaceful... ready for a good nights sleep.

Clearing the dresser and bedside tables makes such a difference!

Oh man. I N-E-V-E-R would have thought to declutter my jewlery drawer. I'm on it now thanks to you!!❤❤❤

I find decluttering my dresser top and side tables so rewarding. Find something I was missing and sadly still on the hunt for something I thought was there.

I would put the lanyards in each person's memory box - Later on, as their box fills up, they can choose to let it go in order to make room for a more precious "new" memory item, or choose to keep it and let something else go.

Done! We have large glass top tables on each side of the bed, a lamp and alarm clock on each... easy-breezy! No dresser just a chest of drawers with a TV on top and the remote... easy-breezy2!

I tidied all my side tables--living room and bedrooms both--and took 2 bags of stuff to the Salvation Army! Feels good.

My nightstand is one of the larger ones with lots of storage. Over the years, it became my "I don't know what to do with this so I'll just stash it in here and deal with it later" place. But I had to empty it when we moved and I'm trying really hard to not treat it as my stash place anymore. So far, so good.

Went through my jewelry today too. Donated 5 items and placed 1 item in my daughter's jewelry box . Great motivation. I placed our Disney lanyards in our Disney bin with our ears. We love Disney.

Wow! You are really doing this! Yes, that will be a good idea to have a stand to display your pretty jewelry. Save the lanyards in a small box dedicated to souvenirs/memories. I de cluttered a big project yesterday it took all day. It was my crafts cabinet and junk drawers. I’m so proud of myself!

What a great idea. Jewelry is tough to declutter. I always think that the granddaughters would enjoy playing with some of it. It usually gets played with once then it lays on the floor getting destroyed by the dog which isn't good for her either. Taking it to the resale shop where they are always happy to take it.

We are in the process of a room by room makeover in our home. We just finished our kitchen and we are now working on our bedroom. We currently do not have any bedside table as I sold my bedroom furniture and currently only replaced the dressers. Also, because I just got new dressers, we also just went through those. So I decided to do the dressers in our guest rooms that we use for grand children visits. Removed a box of toy/craft items and a grocery bag of clothing I know wont fit any of them this year Thanks again for the motivation. It has been fun and productive in my home Also, Amazon has really nice Bracelet holder stands. I recently purchased one for myself for the very same reason. Too many pretty bracelets that I wanted displayed I even have a "friendship" bracelet like yours that my daughter made me 35 years ago

I did this yesterday. Getting ready for a new baby + motivation from this channel has made for some serious decluttering this April. 🎉

My biggest challenge with jewelry is the inherited pieces from my Mother and Mother-in-Law. I have containers of their jewelry, mostly costume jewelry and a few pieces of real metals/stones. I got rid of the easy stuff, the pieces that I had no attachment to. But what's left I am sentimental about and haven't yet made the choice to let it go. Thanks for the inspiration today Steph to look at it one more time and see if I can let go of a few more pieces.

I’m glad that you included the jewelry box because that’s not an area that I would typically think of decluttering. I would love to be considered for the gift certificate. Thank you for hosting this series.

We just moved to our new town and into a new house. This is our 3rd house in 8 months! Would love a GC for our local children's toy store. Thanks for the inspo and for supporting local business!

Jewelry box declutter - genius! Edit to add: that was harder than I thought it would be. Weird how I wanted to hold on to pieces I haven’t worn in years.

This too was great!! I was able to declutter so much that my dresser is empty as I chose to hang the little bit I had. I cleared out my side table too, but now it houses a few of the last dresser items. Now I’ll use my dresser in the office/guest room to put away supplies rather than having bins cluttering the closet and open bookcases. Next those bookcases will go to the utility room for better tool organization. So basically, more room in the bedroom, better hidden storage in the office/guest room, and finally a way to organize wonderfully well for our utility room!! Thank you for this. If I get that gift card, I’m off to NU. A local store. 🕊🇨🇦😊

🎉🎉🎉 here we go… into the closet to find things that need to be decluttered!! I need another month to do a better job. But, for now it’s better and that’s what it’s all about today. 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you!

I used to work in a museum gift shop and bought a lot of beautiful jewelry while I worked there. I wore it a lot working in that setting, but not anymore. My goal over the last couple years has been to keep decluttering it till it fit in one cigar box sized contained. I’m close and this inspired me to do a little more. Thanks!

Doing a huge declutter of my bedroom some years ago has been one of the best things I have done. I struggled with anxiety and trying to unwind and fall asleep in a room that used to always be put last on my priorities. Resting in there was quite a challenge. I wouldn't have tons of piles necessarily, but I would sometimes have things I needed to ship, etc., or stuff I had taken away from a toddler throughout the course of the day. My dresser often had clutter fill the top. Before I became more minimal, my bedroom was also the place unfolded, clean laundry would gather. It felt like I was confronted with all of my unfinished tasks right before trying to rest. It was hard to convince myself to sleep because I had done "enough." Then, I would buy tons of candles etc. in an attempt to make the room more peaceful. What finally helped was getting rid of most of the things I kept in there. I kept only my favorite candle and a diffuser, and I donated the other 13 candles that I had simehow amassed. I greatly reduced decor and other things crowding the room, and, now for nearly four years, it has been so peaceful for me. Does it get messy sometimes? Yes, but I can reset the room to the way I like it in just a few minutes. I have really been enjoying your decluttering challenge this month. Keep up the good work! So motivating!

Well done!

My kids dressers get covered so quickly that's what I will be tackling today!

I always forget the dresser. Thanks for the reminder.

Another declutter video from Steph!! Love how peaceful my house feels since I've decluttered so much and organized!!

I originally kept pins, etc from Disney in our memory bins. Now that my kids are older and looked at the keepsakes in their bin, they only want personal things that they created or their writings. Mass-produced Disney items went to a collector friend.

Jewelry is SO HARD for me to declutter. Mostly because I think of them as such unique pieces that will go with “that future outfit someday.” I do use the container system concept though, so if it doesn’t fit in my current containers (which is a drawer, a hanging jewelry bag, two necklace hangers, and a standing jewelry box 😬 omg I know I know) then I do purge items to make room for the new things. I know we all have our unique struggles. Supporting our sisters out there 🌼

I just did some quick math...I've been wearing the same earrings for the last 25 years. I can't even remember the few occasions that I changed them out, only that I've tried to wear other earrings a few times but that lasted less than a day. I think it is safe to find new homes for all my earrings in my jewelry box. And maybe even time to find a new home for the jewelry box.

Haha another lottery ticket! I like how your bed has two blankets. My parents did that too and never had to fight over one blanket😄

My dresser sometimes seems to be the place where things tend to get hidden. Glad we are working on it today.

Every one of these videos in this series is helping me, even when I don't expect it. THANK YOU!

Got rid of a baggie of costume jewelry and cleared two drawers out of my nightstand! Very happy about it.

My dresser is clean for the first time in years!!!! It was stacked up with clothes! Clothes solution in the works!!! Was planning to move and hubs lost his job in January. Still out of work and things are tough. Flying into my mess is keeping me from going bananas. That and Breyers mint chocolate chip ice cream!

You can easily make a jewelry holder thing from stuff you already have. Tp /paper towel tubes, soda bottles,etc. whatever is a good tube shape can become a good bracelet holder!

Benefit of decluttering, finding a lotto ticket!!! Haha. Hard work pays off!

My Nightstand was getting so crazy! I'm so happy to be able to get it nice and clean!!

I did this on Friday! Just a small job for me. I jumped head-first into Kon-Mari about six years ago. I own a small home and at the time it was bursting at the seams! I reduced the amount we had by about 50% and ever since I’m frequently going through and “curating” (decluttering) my belongings … I think Ive become an unintentional minimalist 😱 So, I don’t even own a dresser or a bedside table, buuuutttt I have a shelf in my wardrobe with my jewellery and if I don’t keep it constantly tidy, it quickly turns chaotic. So I did what I hadn’t for a while - emptied all belongings in the shelf and went through everything and organised it 🙌

My jewelry box definitely needs decluttering….it’s amazing what we acquire over the years. I’m going to have quite a bit of things to donate when this challenge is over. It feels good knowing it’s going out the door.

I've been watching most of these, but haven't been doing them... until now! It's funny how doing one small task snowballs into tackling multiple others! Thanks, Steph!

I never thought to declutter my jewelry!! I know there are some things that need to go! Thanks for your inspiration!

This is something I do before the cleaning people come. I freak out and clear all the dresser surfaces. Amazing how much they can collect.

Our dresser top is such a hot spot. Always decluttering it. Need to do my side table again

I would put those lanyards in a ziplock bag in your memorabilia box. You can then revisit whether they mean something to you in a year or 2 when you're adding more stuff. Sometimes it's hard for me to judge initially, but with a little space I can quickly make a decision.

This video was also a walk down memory lane!

I was so glad when we bought a bedroom set that doesn't have tables or dressers. It's so easy to keep clean & clutter free. I'm going to be doing this in our guest room when I redo the whole room this summer. Great motivation!!

That's a great idea for bedside table....one drawer! Limits the collection of stuff and you can easily vacuum under it!!! That is now on my list of things to look for at the goodwill!!!👍🤗. Keep it up...your videos are amazingly encouraging!!! Got rid of a trash bag of shoes and clothes I just don't lovr anymore!!!

Having a smaller bedside table has definitely helped me recently! I switched to I tiny one after our last move, and it's really helped make my sleeping space feel more relaxed.

A great way to display pins like your ones from Disney is to get a small cork bulletin board. Remove the backs of the pins and push them into the cork. Now they are a fun arty display and you can look them every day! We put ours in the bathroom as decor. (Is that weird??) The lanyards themselves probably aren't as sentimental and are easily replaced if you want to wear the pins again. You don't even have to save all the backs as they are also easy to replace. Just make sure the bulletin board is out of reach of your littles one, since the pins are sharp.

They also make half cork/half white dry erase bulletin boards that you could use for your older kids' bedrooms and they can display their own pins on the cork half while using the white part for drawing. Pins make great small, cheap souvenirs for kids to collect :)

My bedside tables are always clutter magnets...usually books. Marie Kondo say every house should only have 30 books...I add on my nightstand! 🤣

Dear Steph, well done! I have only a small Box with jewellery, oh wait, there is more... Ok, not only this Box, but also a drawer in my dresser! Dresser?? I read that, oh yes! Next thing to declutter... Where am I starting? Oh good motivation! Thanks Sabine

The dresser is a great idea and bedside tables are a great idea. Great refresh before painting our master bedroom.

My kids just did (my) laundry over the weekend so I did declutter my clothes dresser Monday before I put clothes away because Sam's had my favorite Big Girl T-shirts on sale so I had to sacrifice a few of the older ones to make room for the new. Been loving this series so far. And I so appreicate that you mix it up with super easy when you have big ones in there.

My jewelry is my mess and obsession. I love how organized you are and how you decide what stays and what goes.

This is actually a funny one for me. I got rid of my nightstand because I wanted a chair and didn't have room for both. Needless to say, I now need to declutter my chair. Ha, ha, ha. On it, and thanks for reminding me the chair is for sitting!

I bought night stands with no drawers!! It’s a game changer… just my lamps sit on them… it’s wonderful. Jewelry I was able to find a few things to donate…

Boy do my end tables need this....I expect to have a pretty big bag to donate.....yes, things tend to migrate there! Another area done! WOOHOO

Thanks for another great area! A hot spot for me! It feels so good to have a clean surface on bedside table and chest of drawers. My house is looking better with these small, yet manageable and extremely effective short bursts of decluttering!

Finally, motivation to get my dresser top decluttered and dusted!
