    currently binge watching the cleaning and purge videos on UA-cam. Totally down to earth and real! love it!
    hope you've been able to steer clear of baskets! i don't have baskets but i do make piles of stuff to go thru later.... yeah right lol
    got to the point where I'm sick of all the stuff and your videos really speak to my soul

    You don't give up! I just watched the video when you decluttered/purged your master bedroom. It was a huge job and you did it all to completion. You have never said in any of you videos, "I'll clean that corner later". Love that about you!! Such an inspiration

    Lol I had to laugh over the basket on your desk. It's such a pretty shade of green. Honestly, I have been married for 27 years and in those years we have accumulated a lot of stuff. I've purged a lot. I still have a lot more purging that needs to be done. I get so stressed out over the paperwork that I make my husband take care of it. It all just overwhelms me. This is why you're such an inspiration. You've inspired a lot of people to clean, sort, throw away. Also, to do things we didn't realize we could do. Thank you.

    Sophia you just make my day. I started watching organization videos years ago and I thought bins full of stuff isn't really organizing its still clutter. I don't have a basement so I can't hoard too much. Love your videos so are so truthful.

    Sophia, you should really consider becoming a consultant to help others get organized. You are so good at talking us through the process. And really most of the battle of organizing and purging is dealing with emotionally letting go of stuff and learning good decision making skills. I just think you could easily make a business out of your talents and keep helping others in the process.

    When you did your linen closet I took on mine, I had been stuffing junk in there for years and did not want to tackle it. I needed a spot for my stockpile. I was dreading it because I thought it would take hours, it only took about 20 min and now I have a space for my stockpile, that has got to be my " happy spot " in the house. I am so proud of it I might have to do a video of it. Thank you for always motivating me with your videos.

    I have been packing a home that we have lived in for 37 years, we are moving and I can relate to this ha ha. I have been doing this for the last 4 weeks. We are close to the end. When I get to our new home, a lot is going in the basement and I am purging again. I am 69, do I need 4 sewing machines and tons of fabric and craft stuff etc. OH MY You are so inspirational. I found tons of photos. The same kind of stuff you have. You make me feel so much better ha ha Oh and pens and paint brushes too.....

    Besides filing, I have found that mending is something that really only takes a few minutes after avoiding it for too long -- buttons, hem repairs, tiny rips. I always feel so stupid when I sit down to mend, it takes 10 minutes and then we can wear it again! You are the Basket Queen! ~jennyinseattle

    Hi Sophia. Great job. As I'm watching this video I'm looking around me and i see at least 3 baskets that need to be sorted and i have a bag full of stuff that needs to go to charity. Why? I had to laugh when i saw the green basket sitting on your desk. Love the antique linen. Beautiful. thanks for the video xxx

  • @jonathanpountney8071
    @jonathanpountney8071 9 років тому

    Good video again - I found I had to initially start with the "like with like" baskets/bins and then re-purge each one until hopefully get to "just what we need and use" - but I must admit stationary/pens can be a problem!! When I started doing our family tree (which is a very addictive hobby!) the memorabilia helped a lot, but do need to get it into some semblance of order - definitely a job for the winter months!

    Hi Sophia! I found a great way to handle my greeting card pile up. My husband is a bibliophile. I took our christmas cards, etc. and used my blade cutter to cut the front of the card into 3 or 4 strips. or one or 2 depending on the artwork. then i wrote "the georgis xmas 13" on the back, punched a hole thru the top, got some thin ribbon to use as the tag piece. you can tie it, do it slip knots, whatever. so you keep the memory, new bookmarks for all the books and dont have to pay for nice bookmarks!

  • @mazajindi
    @mazajindi 9 років тому

    You are hilarious, I really relate to your troubles! I live out of one room and always have at least two piles of boxes of crap and a couple of big bags of crap too, stuffed in the corner. I've started getting rid of the boxes once they're empty, otherwise I will just find more crap to fill them with!

  • @jackietroendle8180
    @jackietroendle8180 9 років тому

    I have to laugh watching this video! I am so guilty of "the basket thing". I usually do it when company is coming. I sweep everything off the kitchen bar (a real hot spot) into a basket and shove it into a closet. A few weeks (or months) later when I go to look for something and can't find it--guess where I finally find it?! Yep, the basket in the closet! You would think after putting myself through this numerous times I would put things back where they belong to begin with. Guess I'm not a quick learner! LOL I'm glad you showed us how much time it took to actually do the filing--think how much time is wasted stashing stuff and then having to search for it later. You were so right when you said storing things in baskets is not the way to go.

  • @luella2897
    @luella2897 9 років тому

    Yeah !!!! You threw the pens away !! I'm so proud of you! Oh YES, that is a green basket on your desk, you put electronics in it to "sort at another time!!" Warning light going off!!! LOL !! ( It is so easy though for me to sit here ,on my duff, and see you working away . Shame on me for teasing you while you work. ) What am I going to do when you finish sorting, purging and organizing your whole house? I'll have to get up and move and start getting my own house in order!!! You really are an inspiration Sophia! Thank You

    Way to go, Sophia! You know, if one thing Marie Kondo said is true, is that organizers who use baskets are really hoarders. When I thought about it, it made sense, and now that you have done a video about the baskets I can see the proof is in the purging :)

    • @katiemartell6520
      @katiemartell6520 5 років тому

      I just watched this video today 3/16/2019 and what did do this morning? I went to our local thrift store and bought 2 baskets. 1 round, 1 rectangular. The blessing is that I got them both for $9.77 as they were half off this morning. Hate to admit it but Marie Kondo had it right. I figure after cleaning the round one, I would tightly fold throws and light Afghans. I would use the rectangular one for bible study and other papers to get out from under coffee table.

    "Why do we put stuff in baskets?" I have no idea either. If I start getting too worried about the amount of stuff I have, I just watch an episode of Hoarders and think "gee my house looks great". Right now I'm having doubts though going through 18 years worth of collections. I struggled letting go of a pair of twenty year old shoes yesterday, but they're gone! Great vid!

    My first thought at the beginning of the video was "will she find sticky notes???" It's amazing the amount of stuff we buy. Looking back if you could cash in your pens and sticky notes that could be groceries for a week. I just kick myself sometimes. Keep up the fantastic job of decluttering!

    No clean shoes in Sophia's house for the last 6 months, lol! You are making an amazing difference to your home - you will feel so much better once it's all done, but make sure the clutter monster doesn't creep back in. If you don't have one, then you need a filing tray for papers on your desk - it's just not practical to file everything immediately - plus allocated time for office work. I challenge you to spend 10 mins per week doing an instant de-clutter - I think that's about 1 min per room. Just grab one item from each room that is defunct. That's 520 items per annum pooff .. GONE! That will stop the clutter monster in his tracks. I also challenge you not to buy anything else until you have run out of that item - with pens that should be around 2025!! It looks like you have absolutely everything that you could possibly need of every description for probably around at least a year. Best Wishes.
