I love that you said "after 9 months...". Many people fail decluttering bc they don't allow themselves the time that it will take to do this. It took me 30 years to fill my house and it will take a year or so for me to finally get it where I want it to be. It's not an overnight process or a weekend job. My trunk is full again this morning of donations.

Hi Sherry! This is so true!! & part of why it’s important to share our stories. On IG and YT all we see is the *after* or the highlight reel. It’s important to understand that your house didn’t get cluttered in a day, and it’s not going to be decluttered in one day!! Great work on sticking to the process of decluttering and having a trunk full of donations! 🤍

So true. My 'minimalist' (ish) journey took a while. I started with a huge purge of every room/cupboard/etc., Konmari style. It felt great for months! Around the 6 month mark, my brain had gotten used to the new level of things - and suddenly, I could see even more things I wanted to declutter. So I did a round two. I am now about a year in from the second round, and I am contemplating doing a round 3. I think, as your brain gets used to a new level of 'stuff', you also find out what you truly love, and what is just taking up space. You get more tuned into your likes and dislikes, because you are more aware of the things you keep.

You are right. For me it took 2 years.

Minimalism doesn't mean having the least amount of items. It doesn't mean having only a bed in your bedroom. It doesn't mean compare your house to someone else. Minimalism is the same as essentialism. It means having the essentials and only having things which enrich your life and help life be easier.

WRONG.

I lost my adult son a few months ago and there is a tote box and duffle bag of his things in my garage. To help me manage my overwhelming grief, I decided to declutter my entire apartment this year. I think the reason that helps is so I am not looking at getting rid of his things as a single event, but rather a blending of donating his stuff along with mine. Also, it made sense because I no longer have a person to "keep things for". I write EVERYTHING down in a notebook so I can visualize my progress. ie: 5 shirts to thrift, 2 old shower heads to trash, 3 half used old make up- to trash, etc. It is only March and I am up to over 200 "items". It feels good to accomplish this and is going to make my next apartment move so much easier some day.

A great place to donate is a non-profit thrift store.

Yes, you really nailed it. It is not minimalism. It is about having total control of your possessions. To have all you need and makes you happy, and nothing else.

These are two different homes, as we moved a few months ago (after I decluttered).

Hi, I toss at least 20 items each day. I fill a box for Goodwill every week. There's always more stuff. I do lots of crafts and use free or second-hand items. My husband and adult daughter have lots of stuff, too. Three (3) of us live in a 2BR apartment. Tina, Al's wife

I'm in! I started decluttering 5 years ago and then got derailed by the pandemic, kids being home all the time. Now, my kids are older and I'm ready to go at it again! Even in the first few weeks, I've noticed myself being more present with my kids and being more patient with them.

Congratulations on your baby girl ❤

I was born in 1953. We had a small 1400 sq ft home 3 BR and 1 BA house for 4 people. Living in FL, the washer was just the right size to fit in the space on the back tiny porch. We didn’t have a ton of clothes and shoes or toys. We played outside and all the kids played outside and we all had to be creative. I know times are different now for children-so much can happen. But I see so many other you tube videos of tons of toys that the children could not possibly play with them all and enjoy them. All to say we could clean our house quickly, laundry done weekly. And we went boating, camping, etc. on weekends. Things own you and your time. I applaud you! I agree about too much decor as well. I used to have a lot of Home Interior products but sold it all. And my issue was the “free” stuff. We get things at work and now I just ask a coworker would they like it, especially water bottles and coffee cups. They can add up to major clutter in a hot minute. Free T-Shirts for events - I give them away. I don’t bring that stuff home anymore. Love your videos! Very informative and inspiring.❤

Junk no more in '24! I just made that up...not fancy but it works for me!

I am in. We have just hut the empty nesters phase of life with our youngest child moving into her own apartment. We have a very small house and for years I have had to practice letting things go to a certain extent, but we do have cupboards that need to be gutted out and an off site storage unit that is full of boxes I have not touched in years. We always thought we would move to a bigger house when the children were little, so we stored a lot of our belongings for the day that we moved. We have lived without those things for so long, it is now time to let most of them go. I know it will be a big job, but I look forward to how much better it will feel to be free of all the clutter.

You are the only constant in your life - for good or for bad.

Please don’t be too hard on yourself. Life gets super busy and it’s not only your responsibility to manage items in your home. If you can work with your family to make some progress your home will be better and you will be teaching them important life skills. One lesson I have learned this year about decluttering is that you are never truly finished as your needs, interests, body size change over time and that’s ok. Something that worked two years ago may not work now. Now I try incorporate decluttering into daily routines e.g. socks with holes go into the fabric recycling bin in the laundry room, when it’s full I drop it at the recycling centre. Wishing you peace and success in your efforts.

Hi Kathryn, I know this feeling all too well. It feels very consuming, but I want you to know you’re not alone. Two things I want to point out: 1.) you haven’t let anyone down. Like PP said, don’t be too hard on yourself. Start small. Those daily wins will accumulate and create the ripple effect that you want to see. (Ex. Clutter free home). Try to slow down and enjoy the process. Decluttering is not a one and done thing. Furthermore, your home didn’t get cluttered in a day, therefore it will not be decluttered in one day. It takes time. 2.) you can do hard things. I know it’s not easy to let things go. I know it’s hard to start. I know it’s hard to live in a constant state of discontentment, and overwhelm. In order to have change, WE need to take control of the situation and change it. YOU have the power within you to completely change the course of your life. Like I previously mentioned, start small. One drawer at a time. Starting in the bathroom can be a quick, easy win (as there’s usually a lot of trash!) sometimes it’s quite interesting how many empty bottles, expired medicines, etc are just laying around that could easily be thrown in the trash! I hope this helps, Kathryn. Feel free to send me a message over on IG 🫶🏼 Again, you can do hard things 💥

I'm 60 yrs old, I certainly don't have a lot of energy to maintain and manage my home when it's filled with inventory. I decluttered in 2023. Has made a huge difference for me. Dana K White has a decluttering process that is super useful.

To declutter only keep the items that give you great "joy". My declutter became just a reorganize session. I now ask myself, "if I haven't used it in 2 years and it isn't giving me great Joy, why is it here?" It should go and give Joy to someone else via the resale shop for the battered womens shelter. (Battered women and children come to the shelter with nothing, usually straight from a hospital- they need everything). If something that clutters your place, but has memories, take a picture of it, then donate it. You'll have less to dust. Good luck.

I have been clearing for 3 years. Stuff now depress's me. Still struggling with depression hence cleaning is so hard due to stuff. So l am clearing even more to charity.

The first step towards my decluttering project was to donate all of my seasonal and holiday decorations. I stopped buying them as well. Once I no longer had to maintain and store them, it removed a lot of stress from my life. 👩🏽 ✨🥹🙂

I loved the story about your journey. I have been a single mom with a high powered job. I moved to a new city and acquired many things over the years because I finally could. Then years passed, became an empty nester and older and I finally couldn't handle it any more. And on top of it my child moved from college to university and acquired tons of stuff. After 30 years I finally started decuttering and each time I was pleased with the effort. Recently when I helped my offspring move house I realised how overwhelming things can become. I am now determined to declutter and downsize ruthlessly to manage better and live better. ❤

Happy New Year Brianne!! I did a huge closet declutter last year. I had plastic hangers and since my closet is tiny, I brought slim hangers. That was a game changer!! Slim hangers saved space in my closet. Just a suggestion, you can get slim hangers and gain more space in your closet. Like you, I am on a minimalism journey. I too lived in chaos. Then when we moved, that's when I started my decluttering journey. I moved into a home with very little storage. So I started decluttering even more. I love donating stuff that I am not using. I'm definitely seeing my progress and now I can organize the stuff I need to keep. Also, I had paper clutter. So I shredded so much papers. It's so great living with less stuff!!!

Thank you for being here! Everyone can handle different amounts of stuff! And yes, decluttering is not a one and done thing! You’re probably at the point where you’re maintenance decluttering rather then having to ruthlessly declutter your entire house 😊

As one usually tells their kids when eating dinner (my mum did), eat the yuckiest thing 1st. I also tackle the most dreaded/biggest job 1st (compartmentalized of course), take a short break (1 week) and do the rest of the jobs on the least busy day of the week. The kitchen cupboards are my beef.

I lived in a 4500 square foot house and we moved to a 2225 square foot house- half the size. I really lucked out in that the old house took 8 months to close. That was very fortuitous for me as it took me that long to really pick through and decide what I really wanted/needed in the new house. I found out that I filled the rooms because I had the rooms….😳…..it’s been three years and I’m still getting rid of things that I don’t need…….

I’ve been on a minimalist journey for years now: we have 5 kids ages 15 down to 7 yr old twins. It was a must to keep my sanity. It still gets overwhelming at times but I like having less to manage. The kids manage their stuff better with less clutter too. :) you have a beautiful home by the way!

I think people are using the word minimalism wrong. You’re not a minimalist here. Just clean and organized. Most people can’t really be minimalists since it’s not that realistic for people with a family. Maybe a young single person can. There’s also nothing wrong with having a lot of things that you love and makes you happy. That’s why I follow more of the Marie Kondo method. Trying to be a minimalist actually turned out to be toxic for me since I was trying too hard to get rid of a lot of things and in the end, sad about some things I got rid of.

I use the term minimalist lightly as I think everyone’s idea of minimalism is different. There’s no set “rules” for minimalism. Having one mattress on the floor doesn’t *make* you a minimalist more than someone who has a bed frame and a mattress. Minimalism IS realistic for people with a family and there’s a lot of families out there who strive for a more minimalist lifestyle. Minimalism is simply living with less, keeping what’s important to them, and pursuing life experiences over things. Minimalist appreciate “things” but understand that consumerism and overbuying will not fill the voids in our lives. Instead, they’re making conscious choices and being more intentional.

I'm in!!! I have so many things that I never never NEVER use and I know it but decluttering is overwhelming for me. My husband passed 3 years ago and I haven't touched one of the rooms in our home since because it has his hospital bed and everything still in there. This will be my year! This is the year I want to start to live with intention instead of being overwhelmed and anxious in my own home!

I am sorry to hear about your husband! I can’t imagine how difficult that must be. Thinking of you as you navigate this tough journey 🤍

I love the word you Simplify. I don’t think I could be a complete minimalist. There are sentimental things that I don’t want to let go of but there is a lot that I can. Simplifying things would definitely help my mental state. I have had health issues of late and I don’t have the physical strength to take of everything we have. Love this video.

I gently envy the women who have the power to choose the spaces they live in. My husband is a borderline hoarder. The moment I clean a space, he finds more things to bring in...and there are few things I am able to move or dispose without his permission. My whole house brings me constant anxiety, and no matter how much I tell him I need a clean space, nothing changes. I went from being clean and tidy (prior to marriage) to living in 24/7 chaos. I can't have friends or family over, I can't focus, I am constantly losing things, my husband and I argue a lot and I can't be at peace in my home. It breaks me every day. I wish I could just make my home beautiful again. These videos help give me the peace of watching a visually overstimulating space become calm and beautiful!

For me it helps to take a picture, then donate the item to local battered women's resale shop. They need the dust collector more than I do. You can "scrapbook" the pictures for memories for generations. I've recently decluttered and its like the air is cleaner and the mind more mellow. Life is in balance.

my 22 year old has adhd and i got the bedding down to 1 mattress pad, 2 comforters, 1 quilt, 2 bed sheet sets, 1 pillow, 1 heating blanket PERIDOT! Now thats for all bedrooms, lol. donated all other bedding to womens shelter. laundry now is smooth

Love what you said about minimalism being so individual. I see so many comment on channels from the keyboard police telling others how they're living isn't minimal enough. We all have custom minimal lives. I love decor, but am minimalizing my cupboards and closets. Visually it doesn't bother me, but in cupboards I get a little put off. I do bring things in often, but I always have an outgoing box. For me, I'm curating my home with more things I love and moving out things I can live without.
