    I have had a reoccurring question on this video. What did we do with everything that we pulled out of the room and was that part of the 30 minutes? We dealt with everything we pulled out right away and it was mostly part of the 30 minutes, maybe 10 minutes more. In this case, everything that was pulled out just needed to be put away, and since my mom is very organized all she had to do was put all those items in the right location. Then we stuck everything that needed to be donated in the back of the van and dropped it off. When you film a video it adds a lot of time to the process, but we were only actively decluttering for about 20 minutes and then about 10 minutes to deal with all the stuff.
    Obviously, every room is different and the amount of clutter is going to vary a lot. What I am trying to show in this video is how much can be accomplished in a short time and what a difference just 30 minutes of focused decluttering can make. More than anything I want my videos to be encouraging help people to get inspired to live a simple life without all the clutter. Please take what inspiration you can from my videos and I hope you have a great day!

      I wondered that too and so glad you FINISHED. I think if one uses this method, it's important to be sure you have time to finish the decluttering, or that basket(s) of stuff will become "migrating clutter". Great video!

    Thank you so much Shannon, for helping me clear out my office. The area under the side desk is still empty as is the top of the desk. I'm putting away my shoes and removing things on a daily basis, so I don't start re-cluttering. It was fairly easy to go through the bins that we took outside of the office. Everything had a place to go to, it was a matter of putting things away and removing some stuff the from house. I always have fun organizing and decluttering my stuff when we do it together. I love you, MOM

    LOL loved the bloopers! Although I've been decluttering for the past 3 years, lately I'm on a roll to declutter even more! I had very fancy beautiful high heeled shoes that I finally decided to donate because I wore them only a couple of times (I walked like an ostrich in them lol). I also donated objects I kept because they were gift even though I didn't like them. Same thing with "dust magnet" home decor and I removed everything on my kitchen counters except for my Nespresso machine, toaster and fruit bowl! My dining room table has now zero things on it. Not even a runner! And still going...my decluttering muscles are in full motion!!! Thank you for your videos I really enjoy them!🤗😘❤

    I love that your mom is making space to make her art! Has she finished dealing with the pile outside the door? If it were me it might sit there a little too long. Dana K White talks about actually putting each item where it needs to go so you don’t have to touch it a second time, but then you are running around like crazy and it takes longer. A compromise of your method and Dana’s would be good. Like filling the basket and then going and putting everything where it is supposed to go before filling it again. It might take a little longer than 30 minutes, but when you were done you would really be done!

    • @djawnsjhilson218
      @djawnsjhilson218 2 роки тому +2

      I agree with a middle ground for me personally!
      I do 15 minutes for tidy of a room on a daily task. I put the hardest room with the easiest room (kitchen with guest bedroom) and then make your other options and try for 4 or 5 times a week.
      I may only do one of the options too and that's fine!
      But I have to do the middle ground because I get distracted on the Dana white end and on the other end, I want to always TRY to help out my future self. I can't commit to doing it over again!
      So I do my 15 min and try to clear off surfaces and floors first and look for things that go in other rooms. I will make a pile for the bedroom, the basement, the kids room, etc and take the whole stack and put it away then or pile it on the stairs in stacks by room to take up as I go up the stairs.
      The piles put away as you go makes it more manageable to me.

    I just ordered three Tineco iFloor 3s from Amazon Prime - based on everyone's excitement concerning this particular model on the Vacuum Wars UA-cam site. I expect to take delivery within the hour. Actually, I think I hear the rumbling of the big gray Amazaon Prime truck now - coming around the corner. Formerly, I considered myself on Team Orrick, but expect to be on Team Tineco by the end of the day -after I stage sort of an "Intramural Vacuum War" to see which one of the three performs the best. and helps me declutter the entire house. The two that don't do as well will be going right back via the same big gray truck - and I'm going to insist that they be picked up no later than lunchtime tomorrow. Thank you for allowing me to share my tips for decluttering.

    I love the idea of this and how you are creating an intensity to stay focused but Isn’t this a bit deceiving? The two or more laundry baskets full of items will take more than 30 minutes to put away. And if someone is struggling to get rooms clean, they may be overwhelmed by the mass quantity that is outside the door. I would love to see the video to include the putting away of the rest of it

    • @shannontorrens1

      Well this video was to see if we could just get this one room decluttered in 30 minutes, its not deceiving because I said many times we will have to deal with that stuff after we were done in that room. Also most of those items just needed to be put away in the proper place the stuff she didn't want went straight into the back of the car and was already dropped off at a thrift store. =)

      Because of this very thing, I like dana k white’s method where you take it where it lives right then. You may not get as much progress done in that space but you could stop at any time and it will be better and you won’t have a clutter/future self gets to deal with it box. 😂

      @@moonprints That is great if it works for you! Everyone has different things that work for them.
