I turned on this podcast and went to town! I fell in love with my home all over again! Crazy thing is I prayed the night before asking God to give me motivation to get out of my funk and clean. Unlike many others, I love cleaning. I really do enjoy it! So when my house is in disarray, there's definitely something wrong with me. Cass, let's just say, you were an answered prayer. God really used you to help me take back my home! I came downstairs this morning and I felt so grateful for my home! Thank you!!!!

I related to your comment. Sometimes we don’t have the mental energy to do things. I too want to have the strength to declutter my home, so I can enjoy the house I live in. I have also prayed for the inner strength to do it. I hope I can get to the point you have x

Ugh! You are so right about "fighting" for your home! I have battled my weight since I was in the 8th grade. I had a closet full of clothes from size 10 & up. I kept holding on to them, because I didn't want to give up on ever losing the weight & wearing them again. (Thinking I was holding on to hope.) Boy, was I wrong!!! Ii finally said, "Screw it! I am what I am & I want a pretty closet!" LOL I purged that sucker from top to bottom, put in nice shelving, & arranged my "real" clothes by color. Ta Da!!! It looked so wonderful that I bought a small chandelier to hang in there! AND it turned out...wait for it...there was carpet in there!!! LOL I hadn't seen the floor in so long, I'd forgotten! The biggest payoff wasn't the pretty closet, though. It was the FREEDOM I felt without those too small clothes shaming me every time I opened the door! I had no idea how bad they made me feel! So keep reminding you followers that someone else will appreciate those clothes that don't fit you now. Donate them to a women's shelter or burn them in the back yard - whatever. Just chalk it up to accepting & loving yourself! 😂

I had 2 dresses when I was smaller, and I cannot throw them away. Not because I think I will go back down to a 12 but because of the pure happiness I remember when I wore them. How beautiful I felt in them (even more than my wedding dress). But they will go into a memory box and be removed from sight. I am so glad you feel the freedom you deserve. I also had never realized I was letting my smaller-size clothes hold me hostage. I am so enjoying Clutterbugs videos.

Dianne, the funny thing that happened to me with my "skinny" clothes is after I got rid of all the clothes that used to fit but were too small for me...then the weight started coming off!!! All this was happening when I was a size 16/18. But after I got rid of what didn't fit, then I was able to lose weight. Now I'm a size 2. True story!!!

We're not just at war with our houses; We're at war with our minds. Our minds refuse to engage head on and tackle and make decisions about the physical items in our houses, for whatever valid reason (could be mental, psychological, anxiety, depression etc), so we choose to not engage and the stuff piles up from neglect. That's clutter. The more we practice making direct decisions, as scary as it is to start, the easier it gets. Keep going. We win the war by engaging, not avoiding. You can do it!

I feel bad about getting rid of stuff when I think about the money I spent on it. I know I’ll never get that money back. It’s gone. I like the point you made when you said, “You already wasted the money, but now you’re wasting the space.” I need to remember that from now on. The money I spent won’t be regained, but I need to regain the space instead of letting that stuff take up valuable real estate in my home. Space is a commodity I need to take more seriously.

I got rid of 28 boxes full of boxes & other recycling, and I’ve decluttered over 2,000 individual items this week alone. My goal for November & December is to get rid of 1/3 of the things I own and clear out my 10x20 storage unit. It’s a massive undertaking but with the 10% I’ve done so far I feel amazing and proud of myself! Edit: Storage unit is done and empty!

Cass, I might well be old enough to be your grandmother, but your motivation has worked for me. I'm making progress...so much so that I can get rid of 2 dressers in my bedroom. OK, the bedroom is large and there is room for both dressers, but it will seem huge once that furniture is gone. Who knew that once I got rid of excess clothing everything in those drawers would fit into my walk in closet? The only downside is that I'm having a terrible time getting the trash can to the street!

Donating "good stuff" you're not using is GOOD, I keep reminding myself because 1) you get it out of the house 2) rather than it sitting at the back of a cupboard, it is available to someone who needs it or loved it. 3) you can raise money for the charity you donated it to, while you can get a "warm & fuzzy" feeling about it! "But but it's a GOOD BOX" ... welcome to a middle-aged mindset! My best time to declutter? The day before my bin/ recycling collection happens (Friday) - once they've been I can't retrieve them!

My Mom passed the week I turned 26 in 2002 & my Dad passed in 2013 (right before Christmas when I was 37). After he was gone, I realized that I had been hanging onto sentimental items that they wouldn't have wanted me to hang onto. After a lot of soul searching, deep digging and letting go of a lot of hurt in anticipation of letting the stuff go - I came to the realization that the stuff I was dragging around was dragging me down & keeping it would not bring them back. I know that they would not want that for me and I deserve to not have to carry that load anymore. Life changing I tell you! Not for the faint of heart & not until you are really & truly ready but totally worth it! Now, I only have the things I absolutely love and cannot live without (that aren't unloved clutter.) Night & day is not a stark enough comparison for the difference... Heather xo

So now 20 yrs later I am still saving this Stuff! last visit with children now, I asked her do you want to go thru your Stuff? She said what Stuff?! (Am I crazy , I think so!) Everything she went thru , she looked at her husband ,only to ask him "should I keep this". Gosh I am crazy! That was it, I learned a lesson . So , i guess its time to donate her Abercrombie and Fitch high school sweaters! Although maybe her girls would want them, after all they are vintage!

this is probably your best podcast! the content and the emotion you bring it across with are absolutely valuable! thank you so so much! i feel that i finally reached this point of being able to let go. unfortunately i have a huge attic that is filled with dozens upon dozens of boxes with really nice stuff in mint condition and all over my flat are piles with things to deal with or return or find a home for or maybe useful someday. but enough is enough. i set aside 100 bucks and if i should need sth i decluttered i will rebuy it from that money. the peace of mind i will feel once all that stuff is gone is worth far more. i also found a place where people in need can get clothes for free and i happily donated and will keep on donating the mountains of clothes i do not fit in any more. and the rest: donate boxes on the street and if people don't take it - straight into the trash it goes. no remorse. i spent enough time worrying about stuff i do not need.

This has mostly to do with craft supplies. I turned a bedroom into a craftroom then out grew it so moved to the loft. I have also outgrown it in a year. Dana's container method as well as both of your decluttering and organizing videos have completely changed my mind set to the point that my dearest friend tells me I'm going overboard. I still have a long way to go! But I am moving my craftroom back downstairs and,thanks to you, have the tools to keep my space under control. Thank you!!!!

I have been dealing with physical health and mental health issues for 12 years and more. To add to it my teen daughter had mental health issues for 5 years plus some physical health issues and it has been so difficult that my once perfect home became a total disaster with not a single space that is clean and tidy. I lost all friends and have become alone and lonely and staying home all the time. I want to have friends but I have been embarrassed to even have anyone over. And now my daughter has made new friends but I am struggling to still get over the disaster. But your videos have been motivating me a little whenever my mental health and physical health align for the day and trying to tackle one space one tiny area at a time. I hope one day I will have my perfect home again. I went from being a perfectionist with OCD to becoming this at this point in my life. I hope one day I will overcome and my daughter can have her friends over. 😢😢😢. Thanks for your videos it helps so much. And one day I can actually get to do things that I actually want to do.

I will sleep awhile, it's noon and do the power hour in increments. If I time for 2 hours I can rest enough between spurts so maybe I will sleep longer at night. An idea - maybe the friends just want to visit with her and you and won't judge your home.

I like to organize things in pretty baskets, label them, and put in the top of the pantry and closet. I have white baskets in the bedrooms, wicker baskets on an open snack rack in the kitchen“ looks like a bookcase, but has 5 open shelves “. I have brown labeled baskets on top of white cabinets in my laundry room. I think my organizing style may be a combination of lady bug and butterfly. I like everything hidden in plain sight. Baskets to hide and labels to identify. It’s heavenly.

I found that not having those spaces means that I can’t store stuff that I don’t need. Mind I still have stuff I don’t need, particularly in my bedroom. It tends to be my dump area, as only I see it.

I came to the conclusion before i saw this video that the process i have been going through (since a divorce) has been a lot. I have a lot of to do projects that were left unfinished or halfassed by my ex that i have been working on since. And i realized today the emotional, mental, and physical toll all of these things have taken on me. Whether i do tackle them or not it does. When i tackle, i start feeling a lot of anger towards my ex for his stupidity or incompetence. If i dont tackle it, it feels depressing bc it is a weight on me. Both ways. I really enjoyed this today. It helped inspire me a bit. Ive been in the process of letting go, decluttering, and organizing my house since my divorce. It has been really hard but the closer i get to done, the more free i start feeling. I really think people underestimate our environment and the toll it takes on us and our energy ans even mental health.

Hey Cas I wish you were much closer than Canada. I catch myself nodding when I hear you saying certain things like "stuff shuffling" etc. I find myself searching for important docs like "death certificates" etc and for the life of me I can remember where I put them. I've decided to buy the red folder and as I find important docs put them in there and tell my kids if they need to find something important to just look for the RED FOLDER. Also the word I tend to use often is "AVALANCHE" when I'm digging in a closet.

I turned on this podcast and went to town! I fell in love with my home all over again! Crazy thing is I prayed the night before asking God to give me motivation to get out of my funk and clean. Unlike many others, I love cleaning. I really do enjoy it! So when my house is in disarray, there's definitely something wrong with me. Cass, let's just say, you were an answered prayer. God really used you to help me take back my home! I came downstairs this morning and I felt so grateful for my home! Thank you!!!!

Ugh! You are so right about "fighting" for your home! I have battled my weight since I was in the 8th grade. I had a closet full of clothes from size 10 & up. I kept holding on to them, because I didn't want to give up on ever losing the weight & wearing them again. (Thinking I was holding on to hope.) Boy, was I wrong!!! Ii finally said, "Screw it! I am what I am & I want a pretty closet!" LOL I purged that sucker from top to bottom, put in nice shelving, & arranged my "real" clothes by color. Ta Da!!! It looked so wonderful that I bought a small chandelier to hang in there! AND it turned out...wait for it...there was carpet in there!!! LOL I hadn't seen the floor in so long, I'd forgotten! The biggest payoff wasn't the pretty closet, though. It was the FREEDOM I felt without those too small clothes shaming me every time I opened the door! I had no idea how bad they made me feel! So keep reminding you followers that someone else will appreciate those clothes that don't fit you now. Donate them to a women's shelter or burn them in the back yard - whatever. Just chalk it up to accepting & loving yourself! 😂

I had 2 dresses when I was smaller, and I cannot throw them away. Not because I think I will go back down to a 12 but because of the pure happiness I remember when I wore them. How beautiful I felt in them (even more than my wedding dress). But they will go into a memory box and be removed from sight. I am so glad you feel the freedom you deserve. I also had never realized I was letting my smaller-size clothes hold me hostage. I am so enjoying Clutterbugs videos.

Dianne, the funny thing that happened to me with my "skinny" clothes is after I got rid of all the clothes that used to fit but were too small for me...then the weight started coming off!!! All this was happening when I was a size 16/18. But after I got rid of what didn't fit, then I was able to lose weight. Now I'm a size 2. True story!!!
Wow 😮 that was so wholesome I decluttered 5 large shopping bags in 3 hours 😮😅🎉 THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! ❤
We're not just at war with our houses; We're at war with our minds. Our minds refuse to engage head on and tackle and make decisions about the physical items in our houses, for whatever valid reason (could be mental, psychological, anxiety, depression etc), so we choose to not engage and the stuff piles up from neglect. That's clutter. The more we practice making direct decisions, as scary as it is to start, the easier it gets. Keep going. We win the war by engaging, not avoiding. You can do it!
Thank you CAS - i cannot put into words what your thoughts and recommendations (or commands 😂) mean to me. I cannot sleep very well aince I stumbled upon your vids I am all over the place (head and hands) decluttering, carrying around, cleaning, organizing and being a warrior princess. I realize more about me - my special brain, my disabilities and my competences, every moment of every day since "I met you". I think you are a very smart and special woman. Wishing you all the best in the world - hugs from a German squirrel 🐿️ brainy woman.
This was so motivating! I’m saving it to listen to every morning to remind myself I deserve to have a neat home! Thank you Cass
I feel bad about getting rid of stuff when I think about the money I spent on it. I know I’ll never get that money back. It’s gone. I like the point you made when you said, “You already wasted the money, but now you’re wasting the space.” I need to remember that from now on. The money I spent won’t be regained, but I need to regain the space instead of letting that stuff take up valuable real estate in my home. Space is a commodity I need to take more seriously.
I got rid of 28 boxes full of boxes & other recycling, and I’ve decluttered over 2,000 individual items this week alone. My goal for November & December is to get rid of 1/3 of the things I own and clear out my 10x20 storage unit. It’s a massive undertaking but with the 10% I’ve done so far I feel amazing and proud of myself! Edit: Storage unit is done and empty!

Cass, I might well be old enough to be your grandmother, but your motivation has worked for me. I'm making progress...so much so that I can get rid of 2 dressers in my bedroom. OK, the bedroom is large and there is room for both dressers, but it will seem huge once that furniture is gone. Who knew that once I got rid of excess clothing everything in those drawers would fit into my walk in closet? The only downside is that I'm having a terrible time getting the trash can to the street!

Donating "good stuff" you're not using is GOOD, I keep reminding myself because 1) you get it out of the house 2) rather than it sitting at the back of a cupboard, it is available to someone who needs it or loved it. 3) you can raise money for the charity you donated it to, while you can get a "warm & fuzzy" feeling about it! "But but it's a GOOD BOX" ... welcome to a middle-aged mindset! My best time to declutter? The day before my bin/ recycling collection happens (Friday) - once they've been I can't retrieve them!

My Mom passed the week I turned 26 in 2002 & my Dad passed in 2013 (right before Christmas when I was 37). After he was gone, I realized that I had been hanging onto sentimental items that they wouldn't have wanted me to hang onto. After a lot of soul searching, deep digging and letting go of a lot of hurt in anticipation of letting the stuff go - I came to the realization that the stuff I was dragging around was dragging me down & keeping it would not bring them back. I know that they would not want that for me and I deserve to not have to carry that load anymore. Life changing I tell you! Not for the faint of heart & not until you are really & truly ready but totally worth it! Now, I only have the things I absolutely love and cannot live without (that aren't unloved clutter.) Night & day is not a stark enough comparison for the difference... Heather xo

So I saved all this Stuff for my daughter thinking she would want all of her Stuff! She moved to New York out of college, eventually met her husband and never moved back home. So now 20 yrs later I am still saving this Stuff! last visit with children now, I asked her do you want to go thru your Stuff? She said what Stuff?! (Am I crazy , I think so!) Everything she went thru , she looked at her husband ,only to ask him "should I keep this". Gosh I am crazy! That was it, I learned a lesson . So , i guess its time to donate her Abercrombie and Fitch high school sweaters! Although maybe her girls would want them, after all they are vintage!

I want you to know how much you helped me. I look at my house now and can breathe. There is not one room that is out of control. Yet somehow I always find stuff to leave. Now the garage and garden shed, different story. I'll start working on those when it isn't 100+ outside. I have so many spots in my house that now bring me peace.

this is probably your best podcast! the content and the emotion you bring it across with are absolutely valuable! thank you so so much! i feel that i finally reached this point of being able to let go. unfortunately i have a huge attic that is filled with dozens upon dozens of boxes with really nice stuff in mint condition and all over my flat are piles with things to deal with or return or find a home for or maybe useful someday. but enough is enough. i set aside 100 bucks and if i should need sth i decluttered i will rebuy it from that money. the peace of mind i will feel once all that stuff is gone is worth far more. i also found a place where people in need can get clothes for free and i happily donated and will keep on donating the mountains of clothes i do not fit in any more. and the rest: donate boxes on the street and if people don't take it - straight into the trash it goes. no remorse. i spent enough time worrying about stuff i do not need.
I was actually doing this in our primary bathroom today!! We want to downsize to a one bedroom condo from a 3 bedroom house. Sooo many bandages, expired meds, stinky body lotions, products that don’t work. Also writing future goals for the stuff, as well notating no buys for certain items because I use shopping as my coping tool. You only need one perfume, one lotion, one face wash, etc. Good luck to everyone!!!!❤

I watch you and Dana all the time. I can't tell how much you've helped me! I have so much stuff, good stuff, that I felt so happy about having yet could not find so I would re buy A LOT! This has mostly to do with craft supplies. I turned a bedroom into a craftroom then out grew it so moved to the loft. I have also outgrown it in a year. Dana's container method as well as both of your decluttering and organizing videos have completely changed my mind set to the point that my dearest friend tells me I'm going overboard. I still have a long way to go! But I am moving my craftroom back downstairs and,thanks to you, have the tools to keep my space under control. Thank you!!!!

I love these new vidoes. Sometimes we just need this kind of realistic motivation to nudge us in the right direction.
I have been dealing with physical health and mental health issues for 12 years and more. To add to it my teen daughter had mental health issues for 5 years plus some physical health issues and it has been so difficult that my once perfect home became a total disaster with not a single space that is clean and tidy. I lost all friends and have become alone and lonely and staying home all the time. I want to have friends but I have been embarrassed to even have anyone over. And now my daughter has made new friends but I am struggling to still get over the disaster. But your videos have been motivating me a little whenever my mental health and physical health align for the day and trying to tackle one space one tiny area at a time. I hope one day I will have my perfect home again. I went from being a perfectionist with OCD to becoming this at this point in my life. I hope one day I will overcome and my daughter can have her friends over. 😢😢😢. Thanks for your videos it helps so much. And one day I can actually get to do things that I actually want to do.

I will sleep awhile, it's noon and do the power hour in increments. If I time for 2 hours I can rest enough between spurts so maybe I will sleep longer at night. An idea - maybe the friends just want to visit with her and you and won't judge your home.

I like to organize things in pretty baskets, label them, and put in the top of the pantry and closet. I have white baskets in the bedrooms, wicker baskets on an open snack rack in the kitchen“ looks like a bookcase, but has 5 open shelves “. I have brown labeled baskets on top of white cabinets in my laundry room. I think my organizing style may be a combination of lady bug and butterfly. I like everything hidden in plain sight. Baskets to hide and labels to identify. It’s heavenly.
Fun fact about myself: one of the tell tale signs that I’m inebriated is that I start randomly doing the Xena call. Cass talking about her made me want to share 😂
Listening to you, I finally got 7 loads of clean laundry sorted that have been piling up in my bedroom the last month or two. The warrior pep talk is working for me!
This my favorite video of yours. I have watched 4 times in a week
I live in a beautiful home but feel like I am suffocating. For 2 years now I have been saying ‘it will be sorted before summer, it will be sorted by the end of summer.. it will be sorted by the end of the year…..etc etc.. …..” Listening to this and other videos of yours is helping me to be more determined to get things sorted. I have already taken 3 loads to the recycle centre. One thing I didn’t necessarily agree with in this video Cas, sorry, was when you said just to throw things in the trash. Yes we need to be more determined to get rid of things, but we DO need to do it in a responsible way. OR after we will have regret.
15:13 "You still wasted the money, now you're just wasting the the space " 😮👏
A few years ago, I said to hubby "I'm throwing that box out". He said that I couldn't. I pointed out the the thing that came in the box broke and went out 3 years pervious and he had to admit there was no need to keep the box any more!
Haha! I said goodbye to the boxes a few months ago. 😮 No the empty bottles, and gifts we don't like? Okay. I'm on it.
I was determined to declutter and reorganize the kitchen as small as it is,, started 2 hours ago and still some time to go, but already feel better now. Thank you for encouraging, helped me to listen to you a lot and I am confident to make a good organized home, you are my heroine👍

1 hour is a lot and if your entire family helps it can make a huge difference! I have a family of 4. My kids are still young but fully capable of helping. I ask for 20 minutes of family working (I don't use a timer because one child is very literal) but I don't think it ever has taken much more than 20 minutes. And they all agree it feels better ❤
We were taught as a child to keep all the boxes that everything came in in case we had to take it back or in case we had to take it. It's like you say, but we were trained to do that

I'm dying laughing. You are spot on. I'm cleaning out storage and it's hideous the stuff I've held onto. If I died today, my daughter would hate me for all the useless crap I have.

They were someday panties no nightgowns well worn when I have plenty of nice ones slips for crêpes sake slips nobody wears slips anymore, but they were in such nice condition. oh well out they went out of my one underwear drawer. I took a stack of stuff about 10 inches high in good condition except for the old night pounds, and in the donation box they went. It is a start now for the nightstand drawer with all the millions of gift lotions and creams. Thank you dear by the way, I 81 so you can imagine my stash.

I've set my timer for 20 minutes and made a deal, work 20, rest 20, repeat in the past. I think I'm ready for my "attack hour" to make more progress as your words definitely have positive impact on me! Thanks so much Cas ... keep being AWESOME!!
Loving this, it gets me so motivated. I care this around with me all day long put that your pot in and just drill it in my head. It’s time to let it go. Thank you so much.
Cass you are so awesome 🎉🎉 keep up the great work ❤❤
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you for the jeans saying
You got me so motivated that I'm going to go clean out my pantry now.
I listen to you to motivate me to tidy up and declutter. Thank you for being you!
This was the episode I needed! 👊🏼
I'm greatful for your videos
This morning, I threw away 4 or 5 boxes my sneakers came in. It's a start.
Thank you!!! You have no idea how much I needed this right now. I need the tough love! ❤
Preach it sister
Hey Cas I wish you were much closer than Canada. I catch myself nodding when I hear you saying certain things like "stuff shuffling" etc. I find myself searching for important docs like "death certificates" etc and for the life of me I can remember where I put them. I've decided to buy the red folder and as I find important docs put them in there and tell my kids if they need to find something important to just look for the RED FOLDER. Also the word I tend to use often is "AVALANCHE" when I'm digging in a closet.

I just emptied a RED FOLDER by emptying out recopies I will no longer use.
Boxes! Oh, busted 😅😅 it was only yesterday I thiugh I would keep those two shoeboxes a little longer just in case. Thank you for reminding me they belong in the trash!
This was so helpful to hear! I’m in the process of purging paperwork and its very emotional to relive mistakes. I can’t wait for my house to be clear and clean! Thank you!❤
AWESOME episode!! Thank You!!
