After watching your first declutter video with the professional, I hired one local to me. I paid for 32 hours. It was the absolute best thing I have ever spent money on. We did my entire house in 28 hours, so for the last 4 hours we did the walk in attic. With her help, I did it. I donated so much stuff. I cannot believe how much I had stuffed into this house. For reference it’s about 3000 sq.ft. 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. We went through every closet, drawer, cabinet etc… I put my hands on every single item in this house. I wish I could show before and after pics on here. I had never thought about hiring someone to help me past feeling paralyzed every time I walked into a room. Everything has a home and a purpose. Thank you so much. It has helped my mental health so much.
@@got_style it wasn’t cheap. I eventually saw it as an investment in my mental health. It was 2000.00 for the 32 hours. She also had hourly rates, but the bundles had discounts. She also had a military discount.
I think that is AMAZING! Both of you are showing all of us that we deserve to take care of ourselves and investing in the support that is needed! I'm so happy for you! And doesn't it feel great that someone, somewhere, is benefitting from the items you donated? I tell myself that every time I hesitate about keeping something I don't really use!
Professional organizer here… The less you have, is the less you have to manage !! I go through my closet left to right and if I cannot make an outfit or I don’t love it or if I’m not reaching for it it goes… I’m also a minimalist so there is that
same here. I do this for a living. Great to see how much she got rid of, but in reality, she could have gotten rid of 50% more of what she kept. Even if you only do laundry once a week, that is only 7 t-shirts, 7 jammies etc. Hope she goes through them again and gets rid of more
I did my big first purge the first half of 2022. I have gotten ruthless with what I keep in my home. It has been the biggest blessing. Everything must fit now and be used often.
I'm decluttering with you and taking those steps to be free from the stuff! The thing I find hardest for me is actually getting the stuff out once I declutter it. I found a bag of shoes I was supposed to donate in Dec 2021 still in my storage room. I get postcards offering to pick up donations for various organizations all the time and I have started actually using them! It has made the biggest difference for me! Scan the QR code, pick a date, leave the donations on my porch and done! I love it! Great job Jia!
The overwhelm comes from the decision process. It's the memories tied into the clothing, the dreams you had for it, which comes along with the dreams and thoughts you have about yourself, which leads to decision paralysis...it's so freeing when you're finally done and the process becomes less time/energy consuming! You're getting there mama!
Great job! I hang the majority of my clothing including loungewear and workout clothes. Once you go through your closet you might have enough space to hang some of those items instead of putting them in your drawers since you have more hanging space than drawer space.
I base my decisions on how many items of clothes and towels to keep on how often I do laundry. Since I do laundry once a week, I only really need 7 pairs of underwear, for example (though I currently have about a dozen just for variety). Same with sleepwear. Keep enough for one or two weeks. It will wear out faster, so rotate out a few of the most worn items at the end of the season when that season's styles are on sale. When you have too many clothes, you tend to procrastinate about doing laundry.
Woo hoo!! Great job!!! You followed thru and finished your goal! It doesn't matter how long it took, you did it!! I have a hard time staying focused on one task to completion. I am working on my pantry, which is very daunting. I took 3 or 4 days off from working on it and am finding it difficult to get back to it...BUT!! Watching another of your videos has encouraged me to get back at it. I know this may sound silly, but I refer myself as "this lady" and tell myself I am helping this lady get organized and she deserves it! Taking "me" out of it and committing to helping "this lady"...lol it's helping...gotta do whatever it takes! 😁 I love your videos!! Thank you so much for bringing us along with your decluttering journey!! 💕
I just clean out my closet today as I put up some winter clothes and got out spring items. I had to let go of ones that I had been saving for years! It feels great!
Jia at the end of the day it feels good to declutter things that we don't use,wear,cook with it etc. It's Spring time there's nothing like doing Spring cleaning getting rid of things we don't need anymore.
When you said Pax my heart sung! Best money I’ve ever spent. Once you get you closet done, you can measure how much hanging space you need and figure in your drawers. We ended up with 10 units, built a base and added crown. I have pullouts for jewelry and scarves. Gia it’s life changing!
Hiii great work! Check one off the list! Guess what I did today… cleaned out my closet!! It took over 4 hours but I was inspired by your work with your professional organizer. I’m a recent widow so that makes it all harder. My hubs tried arranging our clothes when we moved in a year but i wasn’t happy with it (lol) and then a bunch of other stuff got chunked in there until I couldn’t even walk inside. Needless to say I have the work of deciding what stuff of his to donate or keep. I kept y’all in mind doing the four hour block of work. Minimal breaks. Just take it all out, try not to overthink and sort it back in better. What a relief!!! All the moving boxes are out! I can stand in there with the door shut to get dressed if I want :)
Thank you for this motivation, as clothes that can't be donated are by far the thing I'm struggling the most to discard, I'm glad you've shown the small pile. I've wished you would have filmed while actually discard them into the regular trash as everytime I'm doing pile like this I'm ending up by just putting them in a clean bag and leave it forever in the garage 😅
Great job 👏 I’m on a mission to do the same for my whole house. Had my clothing in several places and now it’s just in my bedroom. Sold, donated and threw so much and I do NOT miss it.
My father has life ins on my children and each of us (me and my siblings). My son died at 22 years old of a brain aneurysm unexpectedly a year ago. We had forgotten about the policy but definitely helped in that unfortunate time of having to make end of life plans.
You are a big inspiration to me. Im taking babysteps to declutter my spaces and seriously thinking about hiring an organizer to help me. Thank you for sharing your true self. Hugs to you.
I just found your channel and you are cracking me up. So far a scrolling break and a Chic-fil-a run and I’m only half way through the video😂😂😂😂 I love it!!!! It’s a lot of work and you are doing a great job. I so need to do this. Thanks for taking time to make these for all of us. It’s so helpful!!!
😊 great job. Suggestion for your deep drawers. Instead of stacking front to back (which hides whatever is in back), stack side to side-you can seem what’s on the back row.
The more you get rid of, the less you will want. It is amazing how little we truly need. Each item you own, OWNS YOU. You have to keep organizing because there is too much. You will find that the less you have, the easier your entire life will become. If your organizer was there with you, dont you think you would have gotten rid of a LOT more. Just a thought Great job on what you did accomplish
I feel you! I was overwhelmed with not having room for all of my apparel…I just knew the only way I could get organized was by getting rid of my older clothes. If I hadn’t worn it in a year it was out. Also, I have all of my t shirts, tops, and jackets hanging in my closet. That’s my rule from here on out. It is working great but I can’t be lazy after washing and drying a load. I need to get the items to their destination right away.
Also, my dresser is divided up by socks, bras, underwear, bathing suits, and tank tops/camis. One drawer for each. Then in my other dresser/stand I have all pants and pajamas. I should also mention that in my closet I have all my cold weather apparel hanging toward the back and my springish/summery stuff toward the front. It’s a must try!
Folding takes so much time and effort. I started hanging everything. T-shirts, sweatpants, shorts. I have a small dresser for underwear, socks, and out of season items. Everything else gets hung up. If it gets crowded, I declutter. I also aim to 8 or fewer of each type of item. I do laundry at least once a week, so no need for more than 8 t-shirts, 8 dress shirts, 8 pairs of pants, etc. If you go that route, lay out all of one type and pick your favorite (whatever your number is) and donate the rest.
I go through my closet and dresser drawers at least once or twice a year. I’m not good at the one in one out thing so I need to go through whole closet often. It helps. I actually have less and less each year. 💜
Well done on tackling the dresser. You did great with donations. I find having a timer great. You’ve decided already you are going to do it over a few days so set your time for an hour and once it goes off you can leave it. Even if you come back after a few hours to do another half hour set the timer. Remember you didn’t bring everything in to the closet in a day don’t expect or put yourself under pressure to get rid of it in a day or two either. Be patient and kind with yourself. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 👏👍💪🙏💐
Such a great feeling! Congrats whipping that dresser into shape and moving away from the laundry basket! Looking forward to the closet. That's my struggle.
When decluttering I do a thing called “halfies” meaning if I have a ton of leggings or shoes or purses etc and I know I should get rid of most of them but can’t seem to part with them I just get rid of half of them. So if I have 20 leggings I get rid of 10. I mean who needs more than 10 leggings especially if you are doing laundry at least once a week. Right?
I'm in the process of clearing my room. I have no linen closet, therefore, I have to be creative and store everything in storage bins. Right now, I am also having to store away seasonal clothing and I really don't have any more space in my closet or the one dresser I have in my room. If I come across something I really don't need, it goes into the donation bag. I have a few of them. Thanks for giving me the motivation to keep moving and finally getting it done.
I love that your honest about how many pj sets we all have and why 😂. I wonder if putting all but maybe 2 of your corporate outfits (just in case) in a suction storage bag and storing in your garage or attic until you are ready to let go would be helpful and give you back some space?
Girl I feel for you!!!! Tackling that inventory is not for the weak and you did a good job. Maybe you can do a body double with someone like Dawn suggests. Watching people do the same thing helps me get task done fast. For my sanity, I need the inventory to be low. I love not having too much clothes and then when I don’t love it or wore the life out of it, I donate and start fresh. Clothing is replaceable, but I try to get less of better quality if I can so it can stretch. To help with making less decisions, I only wear black undergarments socks, shoes and bras because it never shows under my clothes and it always matches.
Glad that you found peace with yourself! How often do you do laundry? That's how many sets of PJS I would keep of each type. And since you say you have very specific categories of PJs I would accommodate for that. So you do laundry every 3 days I would personally would keep 3 night gowns, 3 sets, and 3 unmatched set (you know, t shirt and pants). That's still a lot to choose! : ) Just a thought! Might help with the amount of laundry you do.
You’re so impressive!! I’ve still not done anything but dream of getting started.😔 I do have a 4 day weekend coming up though. Maybe I can get rested and still feel like doing something (to progress toward my goals) before going back to work.🙏🏻
I started decluttering my clothes cause I hold onto clothes just in case they fit. For my hanging clothes when I wear something and wash it, I turn the hanger around in my closet. I'm going to sell the unworn clothes and donate the rest. Love your decluttering journey videos 😊❤️
I think I'd start by putting away the stuff I know I want to keep and then decide what to keep from the rest of the stuff based off the space I have to store it. I also like the folding/filing method. I have some Ikea bins in my drawers to make it even easier. The Ikea dresser also helped me because I went from having four large drawers to having eight smaller drawers that my husband and I share. I did keep some items for when I lose weight but I store them in my basement so they don't up valuable real estate in my dresser.
Since that drawer is too deep to be useful for clothing since you can't see all of it...maybe repurpose it for some things in your closet. Like maybe make that the nail care drawer or the hair tools drawer etc.
I really enjoy your videos! Trying to help, but ignore if not. You mentioned that you were planning on clearing out some of the clothes in the closet because you don't wear that anymore (old work clothes). You can then take that space and hang up your T-shirts to make room in your dresser.
Would suggest just to throw the workout clothes in the basket drawer. Looks a bit complicated to fold and fit the washed ones in it, so I just wouldnt bother You also could use the square drawers for throwing socks or undies and instead use your normal drawers for tees
well done, in the deep drawers I would probably just have thrown in all my socks and undies, cos I am not foldig those but I love how you perservered.I am trying to reduce my clothes to a week's work, so say 7 pj's 7 workout etcI just ripped my fave jeans, so now I can buy another , bought three actually ;-) cos I have two other jeans that are also n the edge of rippid as they are just worn, but I refuse to trash them until I have to ..hehe I hate clothes shopping, that's why. great job!
If you're going to donate your "corporate " cloths don't give to good will look for orgs that specializes in helping women get the clothes they need for work like dress for success. Check local colleges because many have a clothing closet for interview clothing. Good job on keeping it real. Love watching your videos.
If you have adhd, anxiety or things like that, pulling everything out all at once and in a huge pile is way too overwhelming and you will stall. Just a tip, go drawer by drawer so you're not wasting all your brain power. Take breaks, and drink water 😜
Stop over thinking sets with sets ,seasonal pjs together gowns . Like with like .Major one in one out . .I literally tried on every piece of clothing and ask my self how did I feel in it .I had to feel really good in it .or it went to donations .Change my life .I don’t want to think about just want to get dress .
For donation motivation, try this mental trick: Pretend you've won a weeklong vacation. The catch? Someone who doesn't know you is going to go through your dresser and closet and choose which clothes to pack! When you open that suitcase- of YOUR OWN CLOTHES- what are the odds that you'll like everything you see and that it's all going to fit properly? You might be stuck with a pair of "I'm going to drop 10 pounds" jeans, the "It's pretty but it jabs" bra and the ugly sweater you got as a present and are too polite to get rid of. Be realistic. Be ruthless! Keep up the good work!

Hi Jia,
The deep drawers are usually for bulky items like sweaters and sweats. Happy decluttering!
The overwhelm comes from the decision process. It's the memories tied into the clothing, the dreams you had for it, which comes along with the dreams and thoughts you have about yourself, which leads to decision paralysis...it's so freeing when you're finally done and the process becomes less time/energy consuming! You're getting there mama!
That's a great start! You'll find yourself going through them multiple times once you are more aware of what you use and don't use.
I am not a mom or married but I love listening to you. I needed this thank you
Great job! I hang the majority of my clothing including loungewear and workout clothes. Once you go through your closet you might have enough space to hang some of those items instead of putting them in your drawers since you have more hanging space than drawer space.

When you have too many clothes, you tend to procrastinate about doing laundry.
It really comes down to how much you want to manage a how much you can keep control over.

Our Dollar Tree has some new storage containers for drawers that help with t-shirts, legs, and lounge wear for me.

I enjoyed watching your content. Thank you for being real. Can't wait to see your room when it's finished.
Thank you Jia for keeping it real 🙌🏽Decluttering is exhausting and overwhelming. I’m always ‘but what if I need it…’vicious cycle but I’m learning😅

Great job girl. It is so so hard to do something you just hate doing. But feels like a million bucks when it’s all finished a bond looks good to boot.
I go through my closet and dresser drawers at least once or twice a year. I’m not good at the one in one out thing so I need to go through whole closet often. It helps. I actually have less and less each year. 💜
Great job Jia…I know it wasn’t easy! I too love living in my pajamas and lounge-wear…when I can! 😊

You have truly inspired me ! Thank you. I would have never considered a professional organizer but I’m not good at that either. Continued blessings.
Way to stick with it! Must feel great!
Can not WAIT to see you declutter your closet.
Such a great feeling! Congrats whipping that dresser into shape and moving away from the laundry basket!
Looking forward to the closet. That's my struggle.
When decluttering I do a thing called “halfies” meaning if I have a ton of leggings or shoes or purses etc and I know I should get rid of most of them but can’t seem to part with them I just get rid of half of them.

Your video was oddly therapeutic for me. I could relate so much!
It’s nearly midnight & you’re making me want to get up & clear some drawers. 😎 can’t wait to see your closet makeover.
You pushed through to accomplish so much and move closer to your goals. Good job! 🎉
You’re so impressive!! I’ve still not done anything but dream of getting started.😔 I do have a 4 day weekend coming up though. Maybe I can get rested and still feel like doing something (to progress toward my goals) before going back to work.🙏🏻
I like to wear my “lounge wear” around the house too aka pajamas.
I feel like hanging stuff is easier than keeping a drawer tidy.
I just love you gurly! You are not weird I'm the same way with pj's and every day lounge wear! You did good!🙌 #closet Next🙃
Well done girl!!
Prayers going up for you! I started this past weekend and gave up.
Bless you!! Don’t give up! You can do it!! You’re already on your way.🌟👏💪
The good news is you got it done! YAY!
And don't you feel bad about all those pajamas. I have the same thing. :)
I think you did great. I have same issue of keeping clothes for when I lose weight. Glad I'm not alone.
That’s a lot of clothes 😂 Good job! Smart to tackle one big thing at a time…
Hi Jia you are an inspiration!
Great video and so down to earth! Thanks!😊
I started decluttering my clothes cause I hold onto clothes just in case they fit. For my hanging clothes when I wear something and wash it, I turn the hanger around in my closet. I'm going to sell the unworn clothes and donate the rest. Love your decluttering journey videos 😊❤️
I did the same. For things in my drawers I stuck a piece of masking tape on them and pull it off as I wear them so I can see what I haven’t worn.
This is why I hang everything. I just can’t spend time folding 😂. Bless you Jia😊
🌸🎉good job!
That’s a beautiful bedroom set
Great job
I started decluttering my whole house,room by room.l am proud of myself for all l have gotten rid of.l have 4 rooms left to do.
I think I'd start by putting away the stuff I know I want to keep and then decide what to keep from the rest of the stuff based off the space I have to store it. I also like the folding/filing method. I have some Ikea bins in my drawers to make it even easier. The Ikea dresser also helped me because I went from having four large drawers to having eight smaller drawers that my husband and I share. I did keep some items for when I lose weight but I store them in my basement so they don't up valuable real estate in my dresser.
Problem is you start doing that, then look around and you kept it all!😂
@@justkiddin84 Bit you can’t if you don’t have space. Let the space dictate how much you can keep
Since that drawer is too deep to be useful for clothing since you can't see all of it...maybe repurpose it for some things in your closet. Like maybe make that the nail care drawer or the hair tools drawer etc.
I really enjoy your videos! Trying to help, but ignore if not. You mentioned that you were planning on clearing out some of the clothes in the closet because you don't wear that anymore (old work clothes). You can then take that space and hang up your T-shirts to make room in your dresser.
What folding techniques do you use?
Baby, call the organizer again.😊❤
This is my hardest room in the house. Trying to keep the bedrooms clean and organized seems to be more work than the rest of house
Would suggest just to throw the workout clothes in the basket drawer. Looks a bit complicated to fold and fit the washed ones in it, so I just wouldnt bother
You also could use the square drawers for throwing socks or undies and instead use your normal drawers for tees
well done, in the deep drawers I would probably just have thrown in all my socks and undies, cos I am not foldig those but I love how you perservered.I am trying to reduce my clothes to a week's work, so say 7 pj's 7 workout etcI just ripped my fave jeans, so now I can buy another , bought three actually ;-) cos I have two other jeans that are also n the edge of rippid as they are just worn, but I refuse to trash them until I have to ..hehe I hate clothes shopping, that's why. great job!
Not exactly sure how you are wanting to organize your clothing but I divide my clothing out by seasons. It helps believe me.
I have laundry baskets of clean clothes on my floor too. Grrrrr
The deep draws should hold pj's. Let's see what you do
I go by the rule if you haven't worn it in 6 months it goes...I don't like stuff around 😀
How did you find a professional organizer. I NEED ONE!
❤❤❤
That's so many Jammies! You don't hang your shirts and t-shirts?
Yep looks like my closet 🤣
If you're going to donate your "corporate " cloths don't give to good will look for orgs that specializes in helping women get the clothes they need for work like dress for success. Check local colleges because many have a clothing closet for interview clothing. Good job on keeping it real. Love watching your videos.
hi jia dont think u need any t shirts you have lots
I love your chest of drawers and if you lived in the uk I’d be sneaking round and pinching it😂. Love from another pyjamas lover. ❤
I’ve dramatically decluttered my kitchen and am working through my bedroom now. Why in the world do we own so much stuff?? 🤷♀️
They don't call it a master bedroom anymore they should have been renamed that one years ago lol!
😂😂😂 you said you had a ridiculous amount of leggings and then proceeded to put less than half the leggings I own into the drawer.

If you have adhd, anxiety or things like that, pulling everything out all at once and in a huge pile is way too overwhelming and you will stall. Just a tip, go drawer by drawer so you're not wasting all your brain power. Take breaks, and drink water 😜
Dealing with clothing is the most exhausting.
Don't buy new things if you don't have the space-you don't need 😁
did you get tickets to the renaissance world tour?
Would it work to put your socks and underwear in the odd drawers on the side?
Stop over thinking sets with sets ,seasonal pjs together gowns . Like with like .Major one in one out . .I literally tried on every piece of clothing and ask my self how did I feel in it .I had to feel really good in it .or it went to donations .Change my life .I don’t want to think about just want to get dress .
Me: washing my kitchen sink in my Jammie’s. I hear You: I love my pajamas and wear them all the time! Me: Dang right!
next time you pass up something in your dresser thinking "eh, don't really like it" - donate it immediately. Trust your gut.
For donation motivation, try this mental trick: Pretend you've won a weeklong vacation. The catch? Someone who doesn't know you is going to go through your dresser and closet and choose which clothes to pack! When you open that suitcase- of YOUR OWN CLOTHES- what are the odds that you'll like everything you see and that it's all going to fit properly? You might be stuck with a pair of "I'm going to drop 10 pounds" jeans, the "It's pretty but it jabs" bra and the ugly sweater you got as a present and are too polite to get rid of. Be realistic. Be ruthless! Keep up the good work!
