Hi, did I really win a prize here?

My Mom is a hoarder. She has refused help for years. Her famous quote is "I just need to organize everything" she spends her days sorting and "organizing" her stuff at 81 years old. A lifetime of sorting and organizing. my teenage children have never been able to have a sleep over with their grandmothers bc of "the stuff" . materialistic clutter isn't treasure, its a thief of life and joy.

My Mom is the same way (she is also 81yrs. old), but she doesn't do anything with the stuff. When I have tried to help her, she will follow me & ask me why I am doing that to her because I do complain about it. I have found stuff that my husband & I bought her several Christmas's ago to help her out, but we couldn't find it after the holidays. I now know why, she has a third bedroom that she will pile the stuff in & she forgets about it. I hate it & I know she is depressed because of all the stuff, but she will not let go of anything & because of this I will focus on my home. I don't want to live like that at all. Dawn's videos has help me a lot to stay focus & gain control of my home.

I’ve been a sahm 17 years and have two kids. Shopping addict untill I just couldn’t bear my house anymore. It started last year and I started minimizing- slowly, day by day. Gradually… I’m now recovered shopaholic. And my house is absolutely clutter free . My biggest gain from it is the huge amounts of time I have now! Lots of free time, no anxiety, less labour, and a wonderful sense of detachment from material stuff. It’s truly life changing.

In fact, when I declutter and find myself thinking of the amount of money I or someone in my family spent on those (now) useless and unwanted items I am letting go of, the spark of anger and regret I feel is actually helping me to get rid of more items and/or decide to toss in case of doubt.

I have said for years that the clutter is literally killing me and no one took me seriously! This video validated everything I’ve felt over the years. I know it makes me physically ill and it’s paralyzing. I feel so overwhelmed and I waist so much mental energy on the stuff. I know that it would be easier to cook if I actually knew where things were in my kitchen or at least don’t have to clear a surface just to cook. I have food clutter too. Maybe showing this video to others will help them see where I’m coming from. I’ve even asked “what’s more important? Me or the stuff, because it’s killing me.”

It’s a never-ending process. I am very cognizant of monitoring how much I use the things I do have and whether or not something new should enter the house. Keeping clothing, unfinished projects and the like do send negative messages like, “You got fat,” “You are lazy,” and, “You don’t finish what you start.” I got rid of all of those things and my house is a haven to come home to.

that’s a great observation. Im very fear-based and it scares me to get rid of all the new and nearly new items I’ve hoarded over the years “just incase”. It doesn’t help to donate because it’s also all about “what if I have to buy it again?”. I am on a low wage and always worried about “lack”.

Love this. The older I get the less stuff I want. It’s a freedom and if people could see this it would be life changing.

so true. I started a serious decluttering journey about a month ago. A month in, I'm looking around my home thinking "Why on earth am I hanging on to THAT!. I work from home, I've become such a declutter freak, I have to discipline myself to sit down to work first, get what I need done there, then reward myself with a spurt of decluttering. And Dawn is so right when she says, small chunks make a difference. Last night, I only had time to declutter my utensils drawer, but what a difference it has made. Every day, I truly feel like I'm getting more time back. everything is just easier. The other night, after dinner, I baked a loaf of bread and made a cake. This is something I had stopped doing because I knew my kitchen would be too hard to clean afterwards and the thought of that just made me shudder. Now, I can cook with ease and I've cleaned up before it's out of the oven! Dawn, from the other side of the planet, your channel reached me and you have truly changed my life. Decluttering is SO much more satisfying then shopping!!!!! I said to my son a month ago, "isnt it nice being in a clean house?" he said "yes, but can you keep it this way? THE ANSWER IS YES!

I started tearing up when you kept saying “you are worth more than the stuff.” You are like a homemaking/decluttering evangelist! I’ve come a long way and I keep listening because I truly believe you care about the well-being of others, myself included. I was born and raised a MN-girl, too😊

Many years ago I managed 4 sets of dishes, one for each season. I had a full china cabinet, overstuffed. One day, in Bible study I think, the lesson was on God meeting our needs. I closed my eyes and remembered all those dishes. I thought, if I were blind ( no disrespect intended here) would it matter which set of dishes I ate off of? No, as a matter of fact a paper plate or bowl would serve me well. I, with joy gave away 3 sets of dishes and kept the plain white ones. They'd serve me fine and I could just get seasonal napkins. Thanks for this video. It's so helpful and a confirmation.

Wow! That's actually not a bad idea- buying seasonal napkins with one set of dishes.

I’m in the process of decluttering my company’s 2600 sq ft shop with 15 years worth of collected junk. Despite sometimes feeling overwhelmed, I just keep chipping away at it every day. It’s amazing what can be accomplished in a month. Also, I don’t know if anyone has noticed this, but whenever I see a business / shop / house etc. that has been decluttered it automatically looks more valuable and wealthy.

Store pickup makes a huge difference! I save between $20-40 a week with grocery pickup because apparently I'm an impulse shopper. I made the mistake of going into a new grocery store and I spent $60 more than usual. Now I will only do pickup for groceries. I also noticed online I'll buy random items I don't necessarily need to get free shipping. That's something I'm trying to work on. To wait until I have enough items that I actually need and get free shipping, versus looking for inexpensive random items I don't need to hit the threshold. Funny, how they price items so you'll be 3 cents short from free shipping. Last time I checked they don't sell items in that price range. 😆😆

As an older woman with same problem I would like to offer my side of the story ! As we age we have less energy to attend to wading through stuff of the past which is difficult. We are alone with our memories! We look at things and remember! Some of our family have passed away and still grieving. So there is still a lot to deal with. It needs constant help of family to work as a team to help each other. Also may I suggest that instead of gifts we donate that money to people who are in need.

My SIL’s mother died unexpectedly a few months ago. Due to dire financial needs, her dad needed to sell the house asap. Very little sold in the estate sale so they ended up putting most things in a dumpster as thrift stores only accepted a few things like books and furniture. Into the dumpster went journals, photo albums, kitchen things, clothes. Oh my, it was all so heartbreaking because her mother kept everything she ever touched and never culled out the important things. I am trying so hard to declutter down to my most favorite items because I do not want to burden my kids with an overwhelming house full of random stuff. Great video Dawn!!

When I feel overwhelmed, I declutter something. 😂

Following a divorce I had to purge tons of stuff. It nearly killed me emotionally because of the attachment of things that I identified with as my life as it was, raising my kids, as a family, as everything I had known. I moved several times after that, each time purging more and realizing I didn't need more stuff. I had just what I needed for the space I had. I can not stand clutter. Even a small pile of papers start stressing me. I am not OCD, just realized how the more simple things are, the less stressed we are. Years ago a Korean friend told me they used neutral colors throughout their home for calmness. I thought I'd try it in my bedroom and sure enough, I always felt calmer when I entered, because the decor was minimal and there were not alot of distracting colors. I eventually re-did my entire home to reflect the same. I came to the realization a long time ago that I may want something, but I might not actually need it. I don't want my closets overflowing with stuff that I rarely use.

This video and two others you have made got me out of bed with a ❤ BIG BLACK TRASH BAG ❤ My bedroom floor has been covered with “important” papers that I pulled out at tax time and started sorting. My three cats had unsorted most of the bags and boxes, so it looked worse than when I started LAST SPRING. You get the picture. I put the iPad on the floor and listened to you and just started filling bag with trash only. Formerly buried books, checkbooks, seriously important/need to keep papers and files went on my bed. Now I am putting them in the shelves where they should live. 😊 I left piles of what-the-hell papers against the far wall because I didn’t need to get distracted. I am thrilled to report that in under an hour I made major progress, threw out a huge bag of trash, and can now happily go back to bed knowing tomorrow I can finish sorting and tossing the rest of the papers I was afraid to even look at. All of this in ONE HOUR. I wasn’t going to sleep anyway! Thanks for your love, support and inspiration.❤ It was just what I needed. P.S. Good on Melinda 🎉👍 👩🏻‍🎨 Laurie (age 70)

This explains why my husband and I have been so stressed and honestly at times depressed. Our home flooded during hurricane IAN. It’s been such a process but now that we are slowing getting back into the house / finishing projects… stuff is EVERYWHERE. We know it’ll be a continued process but can’t wait to have peace when living in our home.

This is SO true! Keep spreading the word. :-) I even retired a year earlier than I originally planned to because I couldn't wait to get started on decluttering 4 years ago - after 37 years of 'amassing' stuff. About 2 or 3 years before retiring I was just stuck in a perpetual procrastination mode. I didn't have the ambition to do anything. Now that my house is so near exactly what I always wanted, I dismissed my plan to sell it as soon as I retired and want to enjoy the fruits of my labor a bit longer. :-)

Cool. It IS a "whole 'nother" feeling, isn't it? Like a new house/home. Like putting your house on the market to sell and having to update it to get top dollar, when done the way you want it it's like "why did I do this for someone else and not for me to enjoy"? Dawn is right, WE are worth more than the stuff".

That video you did on our stuff judging us was ENORMOUS for me as a new energy boost to rid my house of things that never quite "got gone" with dozens of prior attempts.

That video was a huge mindset shift for me. I'd put some weight on and was constantly trying to shift it whilst refusing to buy clothes that fit my new weight. After that video, I went out and bought a few bits that actually fit, donated the worst fitting and most judging clothes and guess what....ever since then I've lost the pounds and I'm back to my previous weight!

I really needed this these days. I just sold my home so recently started packing and although I’ve only lived here 3 years the STUFF! I have less than 2 months to sort and pack. I’m doing all my own packing so I won’t be moving anything I don’t absolutely need. I’ve already found a few items I had already forgotten I owned! This is humbling. Thank you for the pep talk. I can do this! 💜

I SO appreciate you! This past summer I sold my house that I owned for 23 years and raised my 3 children in. Additionally, I had inherited tons of things from parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles. I moved into a 2 bedroom condo and I did manage to get rid of ALL THAT STUFF. I couldn’t have done it without you and the Swedish Death Cleaning book. Thank you!!!

My 82 year old mother is a hoarder, and I can feel the tendency to be that way. The past 10 years of my life have been very difficult, and many things in my home were just left 'to deal with later'... Later has finally come. My issue now is being patient until I have time to get at it all. I have been doing 15 minutes here and there or an hour or two here and there. I only discovered this channel a month ago, and I am already feeling so much better in my home. It truly does make life feel more peaceful. It was down right exciting when I got my kitchen counter cleared of the things that just sat there day in and day out. Thank you for your crusade of minimizing. I may not become a minimalist, but I sure can get rid of much more than I thought I would before.

My brother is here and he's helping me get my life together

I love your videos. I always feel motivated...and sometimes I will pause your videos and go do the things....lol, it can take me hours to finish just 1 of your videos. Play, pause, clean, play, pause, clean, repeat.

I think the really sad thing is that marketing is creating a "problem" that you have that you didn't even know existed and that their product will fix it. They are actually telling your subconscious that your needs aren't being met.

I just watched this video today on my birthday and I want to say thank you and to say thank you to everyone who has commented! I am committing to throwing out a little trash every single day, and to decluttering my home every day, one small area at a time. I am committed to creating a clean, clear and pristine home environment so that my two young children don't grow up in a messy, chaotic and overwhelming home environment. I want my home to be a safe haven, sanctuary and peaceful refuge, that nourishes our spirits, brings joy to our hearts and brings peace to our minds. Thank you! ❤❤❤

I have been watching your videos for about 3 years now. You have honestly changed my life and my relationship with my house and my stuff. I used to keep a lot “cuz you never know”. Since finding you, Dana and Cass I changed the way I think about stuff. The majority of my “stuff” I didn’t like or need. I take at least 2 trips to the donation center a month. Decluttering has become my favorite self care thing I like to do. I’m falling back in love with my house again.

Dawn, Great video! I just had back surgery this past Thurs & yesterday (Mon), I was sitting in the living room for a few min & my Hubby litterally brought me 3 boxes to go through. 😆 I got through them, then went & laid back down. We got rid of a box of trash just in those few moments Crazy. 🤪

Wow, I’m 4:12 in, and already I’m realizing what my problem was growing up. That study basically answers my questions. All of them. I’ve been sick for years. I never slept well as a kid, I didn’t perform well in school, I didn’t make very many friends, and only as an adult, finally out of my house, did I finally get around to being able to understand the situation around me. I’ve gotten better at reading people than when I was younger and it’s led me to wonder why that is. I felt a disconnect before and now I don’t feel that. But it all makes sense, because I grew up in a cluttered home. Both my parents became hoarders when I was younger. So it all makes perfect sense! Your videos have helped me gain control. I’m trying out your method. I can’t wait to get rid of stuff finally!

I’ve been following for only a couple of weeks but you’ve already made such a difference in my life! I hear your words as I declutter and find the right home for the stuff I do use every day. “It has to be just as easy to put it away as it is to leave out.” “Everything in your clothes closet should be an option for today.” Thank you! After a life of believing I’m just messy, lazy, disorganized, and other negative labels, it’s so refreshing to realize I can do this! You’ve given real tools and real life examples. Even watching you “reset” a drawer in minutes is truly inspiring.

I live by myself, don't live with my partner, or have kids yet, and I've been working towards simplifying everything. It makes me so much less anxious about the idea of combining my stuff with my partners, or having kids down the road. I'm already accumulating all of this good advice for how I want to raise any kids differently than I was raised, and just have so much less crap in the house. Going on a slow decluttering journey over the past year or so has already made me so much less anxious, and I sleep way better.

Good for you! And starting early/young makes it become a way of life, good habit, without the need to suffer thru the "decluttering 1,000,000 things" part 1st. Stick with it ~ it really IS the best way to live! There will be more things when you have kids, but that's ok & with places for toys & books & such to go at clean-up time, it won't become messy clutter. I taught preschoolers for many years & even 3yr olds can put things where they belong/where they got them from, if it's kept simple & is a daily routine. Adult helping put things away in right place is a good thing (they will copy what you do; try not to let 'em out of helping put toys away).😉 When clean-up is 2nd nature, makes it easier as they get older...more stuff = more to clean-up...less mess = more free time for fun stuff. (My expertise/degree ends about age 6, other than nieces, nephews.) You are off yo a great start!

Thank you Dawn for all your wisdom and guidance in relation to minimalism and decluttering.

Thank you for your honesty in sharing your journey.

This has been one of your best videos ever! It was like you’ve been watching me. When you said each item is saying something to you I was like this is my life. I resale things and it’s just overwhelming constantly trying to sort and organize, price, and on and on. I’m busy decorating my retail sites and could care less about doing anything at my beautiful home. I’m so unhappy and just can’t look at anything I have and like it. I’ve been diligently taking things out to sell with the promise that I’m not storing them for next year season and they will be donated but it’s so overwhelming. Thanks Dawn for speaking from your wisdom and heart on this video.

One of your best videos yet Dawn, and that is saying something! I could feel your passion and heart through the screen. Thanks for doing what you do.

Yo are SO SO right Dawn!! THANK YOU for this message! I needed to hear it!! I love you energy and excitement around decluttering and how it TRULY impacts every minute or our day!!

This is so true! I found your videos a few years ago in the beginning of my and my familys minimnalist journey and your advices are really helpful. And I agree, it is hard to explain the REAL change, it is no longer about a cluttered or decluttered home, it is a change in mindset, gratitude, happiness and inner peace that I could never imagine had anything to do with our STUFF.

I was listening to this while laminating the last of my cute little hand made drawer labels for my art studio that I spent the past two weeks decluttering. It only took that long because I wanted to take my time and really enjoy the process of prettying it up! So an hour here and an hour there. One day all I did was put batteries in fairy lights and place them. 🙃I enjoyed it so much I've decided to take that slow approach in each room and really just show my home some love. Thanks to you I only have superficial decluttering to do now and giving each room a little refresh is so easy now! I watch a lot of home making channels here on youtube and now when I see someone post their 'new decor haul' from a store I think...better you than me! 😀 My last space to conquer is still the basement but I have made huge progress there that I think I'm ready to hang the new curtains soon! So satisfying and I don't feel yuck about it any more!

What an amazing powerful message...and so very true! I can't wait to have this stuff gone and no longer dragging me down! Thank you for all that you do! You are making a huge difference to so many!

Thank you! I needed to hear this! Amen!

Yes I totally agree with you Dawn- even though it’s hard to put into words, a decluttered, organised home opens up space for the rest of life to happen.

😢❤Oh Dawn, what would we do without you! This was like a therapeutic conversation with a dear friend or sister. I’m currently going through all of my belongings. It’s a long overdue journey, and fighting all of the messages and memories attached to things is a really difficult but necessary part of it. Thank you for your videos and encouragement!

I found this video, enlightening, encouraging and most of all motivating. The comment you made about the THINGS we have sending us a message was SO spot on. I had never thought of it like that before. But the less we have the less we have to think about and the pyramid! Such a good way of explaining things. I am in the U.K. and I could do with someone like you here to help me let go. But if I watch more of your videos, maybe I will be able to do this on my own. Thank you for your time and effort to help others.

This is so true!! We moved into our new house in the Fall and we finally have a place for everything. It is the most amazing feeling ever. My husband had a health scare (he’s good now) right after we moved and having a clutter free house makes it such a peaceful safe place to be. We still have to tackle the garage but now I feel like I can handle it whereas before it felt too overwhelming. There have been a couple things we got rid of that I wish we hadn’t but not enough to stop moving forward. Declutter your house! You will not regret it!! 🤗

I appreciate you and these videos so much! I DO feel like you come to my home and root for me when I watch these. Thank you for all you do for me and others!

I've got a long way to go but I think it's worth it! Thank you for sharing!

You have such a gift for encouragement 💙 thank you so much! I truck drive with my husband, we "live" in 80sf and constant decluttering is needed, lots of tidy ups but I feel like it's really teaching me how to keep what is useful to us today. The biggest thing that has helped me feel less guilt is when a product was supposed to fix a problem and it doesn't work out for me and I need to let it go, is that I couldnt have known that before I bought it and tried it. (So there isn't blame, it's not my fault) I hear Dawns voice in my head and I can let dodge the guilt altogether. What a gift!

This is maybe my favorite Minimal Mom video that I've watched. And I love them all. Your passion for decluttering helps me to believe that there is some hope for me in this process too, and that it will be worth the effort to simplify. My life is so busy, and I am desperate for less stress.
