    Marie Kondo is so right when she advises to not declutter other peoples stuff but instead start in on your own stuff and then its infectious - your mom just couldn't resist getting in on the action 😂 it looks great and your dad is so talented, loved his song at the end

    It's always so interesting to hear people say they don't need to declutter, sometimes when they've never decluttered before. I think people get used to seeing their homes in a certain way, and don't think about the details of what's in their home. It just doesn't seem like clutter to them. But once they start looking with new eyes, they start to realize there really is clutter, they had no idea they had so much stuff they didn't need, or even want!

    This video is changing lives! I watched it with my new roommate, who was a bit stressed and intimidated by my urge to reorganise the house, (I just moved in and it was super cluttered), but afterwards we decluttered the whole living room and she even tentatively asked me if I could help her with her room as well! And I watched it with my mom who is now so excited to start the process together :)

      I did this twice in the last year because my previous employer moved offices and my parents are moving. My boss isn't attached to his stuff fortunately, he just never bothered to clean so I had to volunteer to help look through stuff or it wouldn't have gotten done. His office looked like an episode of Hoarders but at least I was getting paid. And my dad is a neatnick and both parents were proactive about getting rid of stuff so helping them was relatively a breeze.

  • @micheleoster9413
    @micheleoster9413 Місяць тому +72

    The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning by Margareta Magnusson is the way to go. As someone who had to clean out my parent's house (dad passed, mom downsized), I can tell you it is super stressful to have to get rid of so much stuff in one go, especially when you're grieving. I have death cleaned for my kids and I continue to go through stuff every so often because I don't want them to have to get rid of all the crap I couldn't be bothered to get rid of. It's not fair to pass the burden down. My father died at 59. You never know when your time will come, it's best to lighten the load for those you may leave behind.

    This would be a series I would so look forward to! At the beginning, when your dad said he didn’t want his things to burden you or your siblings, that hit me. My father in law was diagnosed with dementia and we have been helping, then taking over decluttering his home for about a year now. Sometimes it feels endless, just when a space is cleared out, there are more boxes, papers, clothes, etc. to comb through (esp bc he kept everything) but in a way I’m thankful we got to do this now instead of when he passes since I would imagine it would be that much more overwhelming. Anyway, it made me smile to see how open your dad is and how your mom came around to it ❤

    @madddoll8685 5 днів тому +1

    This was really wholesome, but I also think you have to give yourself a lot of credit for undertaking this with them. It can be full of strife and stress, and it IS overwhelming. I think it's so helpful especially for people who have been homeowners for like 30 years (or boomers in the case of my parent) to do this bit by bit and not wait until tragedy strikes and try to declutter an entire house while you are mourning. Also this has the benefit of being able to reminisce over old things you find together. Photos, clothes, memories! So many people have that huge hurdle of not being able to start / not knowing where to begin. I think there is definitely a huge market for people assisting others with their belongings. I just decluttered this weekend and honestly it makes you feel lighter and happier once it's done! Here for the series!!

    - when mom got involved after she saw you guys doing it!
    - the song at the end - your dad is an amazing musician!
    Thanks for such a fun watch :)

    Yes to a series! Sooooooo satisfying and I love your relationship with your folks. I am currently house and dog sitting for a couple in their 60s and I am utterly overwhelmed by the size of their home and the sheer amount of stuff. I lie awake at night dreaming of skips! I find it so hard to think and function and be creative when the surroundings are so disordered and cluttered and there are so many choices - which colander, saucepan, grater, to serve on which plate ..... when I go home I am going to clear out my already minimised small space. And I need "Larry's Lament" to accompany me. 🎵

    I spent years helping my dad 'declutter' but in our case it was more about organizing and cataloguing than it was about getting rid of. He passed this year and closing his estate has been (and continues to be) A LOT! Was lovely to see you and your dad and to think back on happier times looking through from dad's stuff with my dad. Great Hank Williams remix! 💚💙💛
