*Does anyone else declutter like this? It’s so funny how you will do something one way forever, and then it just changes & you forget how you used to do things lol! I’ve gotten into such a habit of doing these massive, full on declutter sessions - and although it’s very satisfying… it’s often difficult to find a full day to dedicate to one chore like that - so on this day, I got SO MUCH other stuff done (not filmed 😜) but I also still got SO much decluttered in these few days, simply by using small pockets of “free” time! Also… I have been taking more time the past day or two to try on more of my clothes (shirts specifically) and I may need to declutter some more of them because some are getting bigger than I realized! …which is such a blessing because yall know I’ve tried so much over the years to find something that works with my hashimotos - and finally I did 🥹 it honestly makes me want to cry (happy tears because im grateful to feel more like “me” again & sad tears that it took me so long to figure it out) Anywayyyyyy… look at me writing a whole paragraph 😜😅 I guess I’m feeling chatty today! 😂 So if you want to chat… I’m here ↓ I hope you’re having a good day!! ♡amanda* LINKS for everything in todays video : LINKS liketk.it/4KFAd MUDWATER mudwtr.com/THISCRAZYLIFE

I found a Keto snack that's actually good!! Sam's Club had these huge bags of Gourmet Gatherings Keto Clusters last weekend for $9.99 and they are so good! Walmart sells them but it's of course a much higher price. They are dark chocolate, quinoa, pumpkin & sunflower seeds, pecans, and almonds. It's only 4g net carbs for about 1/2 a cup but they are super filling.

I think it's so sweet how you have artwork inside your cabinet doors. It's a fun way to see them often without having them on the fridge or something.

I love how realistic you are and how helpful you are to community of homemakers and more!

Love this video. I love when you declutter slowly and talk about what to declutter. It is much more enjoyable and motivating than watching someone declutter at super fast speed. My granddaughter (7) loves sharks and has since she was little. I keep thinking she will outgrow it but maybe not. :) I love how you keep the kids' artwork in the cabinet doors. Great idea to display but not clutter. I love how you and Kyle are real and practical and not into impressing others, not buying everything new to make us buy,. You have a great calming voice and such a sweet personality. And I love how you and Kyle get along! You are my favorite youtuber.

I'm so glad that Kyle isn't gagging anymore cleaning the drain on his bathroom sink!! I guess that that is TWO pats on the back for Amanda having great ideas. 🙂

Hey Amanda, I just wanted to let you know that you can toss out the blood tester because it won't work properly once they expire. I know this from experience. I hope this information helps.

The glucometer and needles can stay but, maybe you want to store the batteries out of the device.

I have been preaching this to my family and extended family for years! How do you eat an elephant? Just one bite at a time…. That’s how to declutter in manageable bites. One drawer at a time. One cabinet a time. Etc… do what you have the mental energy for! I think it’s best for people that are overwhelmed, struggle with depression or chronic pain or are too busy. I am included in that group- and I want calm home. Purge baby purge!!

Great video, Amanda! My son is a Type 1 diabetic, and I can tell you from many years of experience that it’s always best to replace a glucose monitor after it expires so you get accurate readings. By the way, you look amazing! ❤

I am a big fan of a little at a time. It makes the big cleans way easier

I have started doing this to a degree but I definitely need to continue it on a regular basis. One thing I have started doing is keeping a bag handy in my closet and any time I put on something that I doesn’t fit, or see something I don’t like anymore, I immediately put it in the bag for donation. This has been such a helpful tool when it comes to cleaning out my closet.

I also have an unhealthy love for sharks! I have stuffies, blankets and ALWAYS watch Shark Week! Jaws is one of my favorite movies!!!! I also needed this video because I really really need to declutter my clothes. I definitely just told my Mom that when we talked on Thursday lol it's like you read my mind haha I think so I don't get overwhelmed, I'll do a dresser at a time then tackle my closet again.

Great video Amanda. I like this addition to your videos. I can tackle it all but id rather do it in bits like you. The word declutter can be a bit of a trigger for me. I work hard for what I have, and I remember those moments I wasn't able to buy any extras nor splurge even the smallest of things. My budget was tight. Now I am able to buy things that once was a wish. This weekend I reorganized 2 of my closets that needed some attention. I was able to set aside a shopping bag worth of items for consignment and now my closet consists only of items that fit me since my weight loss. I tend to organize and go through my closet about 4 times a year (seasonal). As I've gotten older and since my weight loss and health journey, I buy smarter with items I need rather than what I want. For that reason, it helps me to stay within budget and rarely find the need to declutter. Congrats on the 40lb weight loss. So inspiring👍🏽🙌🏽🫶🏽

I started folding tee shirts Marie Kondo style. I like being able to see each shirt instead of having them stacked. I also feel I can fit more in the drawer. Great video

💥IN REGARDS TO THE INSULIN MONITOR. 💥 The test strips DO INDEED expire. You will not get an accurate reading if you use them. FYI: You will also get an inaccurate reading if you leave the cap open on the strips. THE MONITOR AND LANCETS will be fine. Personally, I would order new Lancets if needed as well. There's always a chance of rust from moisture getting in. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Love the puzzle board. Great idea.

Oh, I love a good purge and do them pretty regularly, but for the most part I keep replacement buying very low unless you count place-mats and candles. I'm obsessed with those. lol I am on pins and needles to see your very first room rescue! You're going to help so many people, and from your existing videos of what y'all have done in your own home, whatever you do for others will be gorgeous. Wish I had the money for a room revamp, but I'll have to settle for learning from your channel, and incorporating small changes for myself on a very tight budget. Thank you for all you teach us.

This is the way that I declutter. I also do the kind of decluttering where especially if it's a drop zone area or a shelf where a lot of random items get put just to get them out of the way, I make it a long term by the end of the week goal that that space or shelf will be clear. So I'll try and clear one or two items off of it a day and by the end of the week that space is cleared but it doesn't feel overwhelming doing it because it's tiny bite size pieces. This has helped me so much to tackle spaces that overwhelm me. I also love the timer idea because sometimes we put off decluttering that one drawer or shelf or cupboard because we think it will take so long. However if you just grab a trash bag and a donation box and set a timer you can be easily surprised about how quickly you can get that space done. The timer is a reminder as well if you don't have lots of time and the space isn't finished then it's at least a bit better than what it was and it only took that little time. Progress not perfection is better than no progress at all.

I have one of those puzzle boards with drawers. I love doing puzzles but in this small apartment I couldn’t work out a place to work it. Then I saw this board. I got it on sale for half price & then paid $10 for a foldup table. Both of these can either go under my bed or in my storage closet.

Hi Amanda...Love your puzzle board! Daddy bought one for my mom for Christmas about 25 years ago. My mom had debilitating rheumatoid arthritis, so having two edges flat and two raised helped make it easier for her to pick up the pieces.The drawers are great for sorting pieces. I've lost both of my parents, but whenever my husband and I decide to work on a puzzle, the first thing we grab is their puzzle board. As always, love your videos and looking forward to your next one!

Today was the first time I knew you were a shark lover! Too funny!

I put a portable rolling hanging rack in my room and a couple of big boxes (for donation) and .took out section by section (spaghetti straps, sleeves, short sleeves, long sleeve, etc) and by the end I had a huge pile of clothes that I donated, and it was easier for me if I had to stop for any reason, I did the shoes first, then the purses last. There were lots of clothes, shoes and purses that still had tags or were never used (sorry, I love shopping) but in the end, it was very satisfying!

I just want to say I think you’re doing a great job and it doesn’t at all seem like you have too much stuff. I actually feel like over the years I’ve taken decluttering too far and there is such a thing as over decluttering too, as I’ve found several times now that I wished I would have kept certain things and I don’t have enough clothes, etc and I end up spending more money over time. I think your baby declutters and being very purposeful about what you get rid of is great and what I’m trying to be better about practicing now.❤

Thanks for the bite size decluttering! I've done things like that for years, but thought maybe I was doing things wrong. Lol, it works for me... So glad to find other people do it too!

My husband and our two adult sons are in Scotland for a week of golf (today they played The old Course in St Andrews). Anyway, I’m cleaning and decluttering; and my house is a mess. I get sidetracked when I go to different areas. I usually have 3-4 areas going at one time. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

Love that opening song!

I have been rewatching some of your videos about your decluttering ideas. I have decided that since it looks like this will be home for the duration (I’m 72), I am tired of the decorations I have that I am not using & also looking for some replacements. I have decided I need to get back to hitting the goodwills, etc. to find some things for the walls. I am also notorious for having my table that is my dining table/desk/craft zone cluttered & just a mess. So I am going to work on that too using your videos. Thanks.

I have the SHOKZ earbuds. I use them everyday and I love them. Like you said you can hear what’s happening around you even with them in your ear. I’d totally recommend them to anyone and I have told my friends about them. Totally worth the investment.

I especially enjoyed this declutter video because it spoke to me about things I need to let go from my upper cabinets. I had already declutterred the lower ones a few months ago and got rid of quite a bit. Great Job Amanda!!! Also, please let me know your fave keto breakfast ideas. You look marvelous!

I declutter every area twice a year, for example I clean and declutter my bedroom and wardrobe once each spring and fall when I'm switching between seasons. Same goes for the sheds when rearranging for the seasonal change. Other things I declutter once a year as I use them like canning equipment, Christmas decor. Then throughout the year I declutter as I see something that I no longer use.

I like the pictures inside the kitchen cabinets.
