I remove bits of trash from my vehicle (cups, wrappers, receipts, etc) while I’m filling the gas tank. Tidy vehicle and keeps it out of the house. I also keep a swiffer duster in one of the door pockets. I dust the dashboard when I have a few minutes like when I’m waiting for someone or stuck in traffic. Thank you for a lovely, awesome video.
I did the CD not long time ago... and with all the memories that came I wanted to listen some of them... I spend the afternoon 😁, not efficient, but I had a lovely time.
I got through items 1-10 today. So far I’ve made progress in every category. Looking forward to continuing and getting rid of the extra stuff that doesn’t add value to my life. Thanks 🙏
Reduce no. of recipe cards in recipe boxes or in binders then categorize them, cull recipe books, kitchen linens (fabric napkins, dish towels, pot holders), reduce no. of wall decorations (pictures, paintings, mirror, etc.).
I’m making a big international move in a few weeks and this list was so helpful. Definitely don’t want to pay to send things overseas that I won’t use there, either!
I was literally staring at the pile of towels I have to do when you mentioned getting rid of some 🤣 I have mountains of towels and I don't even know how it got that crazy!
Great tips! Thank you! I empty the bed side table every morning. It used to be full of books, water and jewellerys. So it's a great morning routine. The flowers gets the left overs of the water both then and from the dinner.
My best friend's car is so cluttered with useless, half-broken junk, that I don't even want to drive with her. I've told her a few times that I'll help clean it with her, but all I get for an answer is, "Whatever." When she goes to pay for something, her bag is so stuffed with junk, it takes her forever to even find her money. I'm giving thought to how someone's clutter can affect a friendship.
I agree with you. I had a very good friendship for a lot of years, then we lost touch for quite a while. After finding her again, we reconnected and started hanging out. She invited me to her home and , upon walking in, her house smelled so badly of cats (and what they produced) I couldn’t even accept a refreshment. Her home was cluttered with crap, but her cats visiting the litter box and then walking on top of tables and countertops did it for me.
Be patient with her, if she's a good friend. Good friends are hard to come by, honestly. Try to lead by example. And, do let live win, in this case. Everyone is different.
That’s not „clutter“ that’s „junk, trash and dirt“. You can have a cluttered home like my mum has, it’s extremely cozy and decorated, clean and smells good. my mum has cute things everywhere, tons of DIY decor, plants, memorabilia, photos over photos….
She sounds stuck and in denial that her untidiness is an issue. Until someone can see themselves, and can admit to a problem, and the psychological cause, they may not accept help. You could have a heart to heart offer of help, or a “let’s try this together” and rely on each other as a team, without shame. But first I recommend the non-judgmental and fun “clutter bug” test to learn what her personal brain re: stuff and organization is all about. Check out Cass, who created the method. It helped me a lot.
A small thing but huge for us: I just got a battery organizer. All of our batteries in one spot now (with a tester) so I no longer have to direct everyone to where the batteries are now. 🤨
Love this! Thank you for the ideas! Your dog seems so sweet, I love animals. How old is Charlie? Your sweater is beautiful, that color suits you. 🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗
I thought of cleaning tools unless that was already said. Lol. And Bcuz I’m so bad about that. Brooms, mops, vacs, steamers, swiffer type things. I have quite a collection by now. 😅😅 In the past I guess I felt like I’ve never found “the one” so I’d buy all these diff things to try out. Not sure if my problem is that esp I hate mopping. Lol. And I often wind up using a simple broom (or the rubber pet hair broom and my stick vac or the vac with the hose). So whatever the “revolutionary” product is, I’d be putting it off anyways. Lol. The “easy ones” are very easy and fast, but it doesn’t feel “clean” to me. Feels more like get by half ass for now. The ones that really get the grime take a lot more time or effort or are bulky and heavy. Don’t like that either. Maybe I’ll figure it out one of these days. Lol.
A habit to get into is cleaning out the car's glove box when you get new insurance cards, registration or when you change the time on the clock. Also, gather up the trash when you stop for a fast food meal. You already have a bag for it and you may be near a trash can!
Coupons- I have a small clipboard and when I get a coupon I clip it there. Then at the beginning of each month I go through them and see what has expired or one I forgot about that I may want to use.
I have a video on decluttering different items here: ua-cam.com/video/0M5MSWQ1SWY/v-deo.html but for books I like to start with the library. Our library has certain donation days that are held by a third party :)
my library is fcking picky with books. we have public spaces where you can leave or take books, like „book swap shelves“. i have one shelf at work, one in my laundromat shop, one is an old telephone box in the street, one is in my doctor’s office…
@@MiaDanielle I have traits of adhd, Im a hoarded, things got worse when my father passed away August last year, I'm slowly sorting my house out, with the table gone makes a massive difference as no junk on it
Old magazines. I somehow have accumulated 3 piles and for some reason can't seem to part with them, I keep thinking somebody else might want them. They need to go.
I have old magazines on a shelf in my closet. The next time I visit my sister or the cleaning lady comes over I give them a bag. They get different ones and we trade.
Not me watching this to get new ideas, as my ADHD has found something new to hyperfocus on and now I want to declutter 24/7 but there is nothing left to declutter hahahah
I love the first one as I have a luxury channel based on handbags, etc. I did sell and give away many bags but now all I do is buy them.😂😂😂 I have decluttered most of my decorative pillows and it has really made a difference. I do need to go through our bed pillows though. I like lots of pillows but some have definitely seen better days.🥰
@@MiaDanielle yes it does.🥰 I don’t have a lot compared to many but it’s still more than I need.😂😂😂 My dream is to declutter everything else in my home.🥰
Old planners & diaries: there are only 14 different calendars. So an old planner can be used again - just replace the year. Okay these may be cheap enough just to get the correct year. Some diaries may have interesting features like the quote of the day or gardening planning notes. If you can use it next year and save getting a new one. If 10 years for the days to match it isn't worth hanging onto. {e.g. 2023 is the same as 2017, 2006,1995, 1989 - if you have already hung onto a 2017 unused planner another 8 months is nothing. My unused diary is 2006. Lol}.
You can use the lip balms for moisturizers for your nails and nail beds on your toes or hands. Just use a knife to slice off the balm that you have used on your lips, then clean the tops of the container with soap and water, so you don't get any bacteria from your mouth onto your fingers and toes. Balm is also helpful for rubbing into your dry heels, elbows, etc. Tiny little containers that you use when you are out and about in cold weather, as well.

Great job! Keep it up :)
Can't tell you how much I love these tips on decluttering, Mia! I have liked and saved this so I can go through step-by-step. Thank you! 🌞
Awesome! I'm so glad to hear that :)

While listening to you, I list down things to declutter in my head. This is a very helpful video. Subscribed!
I love your channel!! You give new ideas and insight which is what I need. Thank you 😊
I needed this so much to get refocused and motivated. I’m brewing a French press and getting started! Xx
You got this!
How do you like your French press, my kuerig is dying and looking for replacement but don’t which, French press or pour over? Busy in morning !
Extra bedding-I have 2 sets per bed. That makes me wash them more often, because I don’t want a daunting pile of sheets to wash.
A small thing but huge for us: I just got a battery organizer. All of our batteries in one spot now (with a tester) so I no longer have to direct everyone to where the batteries are now. 🤨
That does sound super convenient :)
You could also add things like apps on your phone or computer as you know what you don’t use or need on there and can do it fast from anywhere!
Good point! Although, I definitely am one to go down the digital rabbit hole 😂
Great video thank you this helps alot nic nac orniments are hard for me tk declutter people i love buy them i have a lot hard to keep dusting x
These are great tips! Definitely going to get started with some of them. Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!

Your sweater is beautiful, that color suits you.

Thank you! 😄
Thank you
👍❤️I’m going to go through the list, after I finish watching. Some of these need a little maintenance de clutter.
Perfect!
Great ideas. So doable.
Thank you! 😊
Yeahhhh, motivational !
I'm glad to hear it!

Great ideas Karen! This is called habit stacking... and one of my fave ways to introduce a new habit to my routine.
I do this when filling up gas.. ⛽️
I love your sweater. Where did you get it?
I thrifted that one from Plato’s Closet but the tag says Forever 21
Why are mail polish bottles so big? I’d love it if they were half the size; mine get too thick and gross when I am only a bit into it.
It is normal chemistry, just add little bit 9f acetone( nail polished remover ) and good to go again with ease of applying it 😊🍀🌻
Coupons- I have a small clipboard and when I get a coupon I clip it there. Then at the beginning of each month I go through them and see what has expired or one I forgot about that I may want to use.
Sounds like you have an efficient system to keep you organized that you stay on top of so there's no clutter 🙌
Any tips on best options for decluttering books? Sell or donate and where to sell or donate? Thanks 😊 Love your channel!

Great video as always. But as a Brit I can’t let your “Worcestershire” pronunciation go by uncommented. It’s Woo-stuh-sher. Not “shyer” at the end. 😘
Haha well, where I'm from in Texas we do tend to say things a bit differently :)
Lol, that is so funny. I am Deaf and had no idea that's how you pronounce Worcestershire. I've always said it exactly how it's spelt.
Haha my ex said wore-chester-sher. In my family we had a nickname for it, Rooster sauce.
Good ideas!
Glad you like them!
I got rind of my dinning table because it became a dump everything on it and was driving me nuts
Has that helped inspire change in your life? How did that work out for you?

You can drop them off at a hospital for the waiting rooms, an Assisted Living or Nursing facility.
When I visit a foreign country I leave all my clothes
for the maid. Clothes are super expensive in Europe and Canada. I know first hand.
That's so nice of your, but I live in Europe and good clothing is very affordable in my country.
I am already doing all of these but compared to my minimalistic daughters I am a hoarder!
Waw you have the wit lamp😍

I was surprised to find that I had 2 drawers of pajamas! Wow! Too many!
😂 PJs can get out of hand pretty easily, that's for sure!
i have 15-20 pyjamas but i need and wear them all 🥲
I have 1 to 2 pairs per season, summer/winter. When they're in the wash I wear a pair of leggings with a comfy shirt
IT WILL NOT LET ME GIVE U A THUMBS UP. MIGHT WANT TO CHECK IT
