  • You know that decluttering and organization can change your life, but I wanted to show you that it doesn't have to be a huge and time-consuming project. I spent two days organizing, cleaning and decluttering this messy storage room and this cluttered craft room.
    In just two days, we decluttered, organized and did a complete makeover of both spaces on a tiny budget. I hope this video inspires you to tackle a room in your home today! When you are feeling overwhelmed, remember: Five Minutes Matters. You don't need weeks or even months to get your home under control, you just need to get started!

      I lived by that this morning and attacked one very disorganised place in my apartment. Not a whole room - that is far too much, just one space in my living room cabinet. (I can really recommend to only go at it for half an hour or twenty minutes at a time, to net get overwhelmed!) I threw away quite some paper things (I hate throwing that away, but I really, really have to, so I bit the bullet). And I collected a few games that have their place elsewhere, took them there, just to find I had to get at that container, too - as there wasn't enough space in that. So more throwing out (a card game where the cards showed signs from playing and the box was in tatters, and a game I never played since I bought it 30 years ago - so out it went). And while I did not finish that space in my cabinet - I made it definitely better, can do the rest after I return home from work, dust it, reorganize it.
      I love "not perfect but better" - and I really need to keep in mind that you cannot organize clutter! But just what I did this morning already made a visible difference to my place. One less corner of chaos. It looks organised, not perfect, but as if the things were there for a reason. I can always prettify that later

      @carlh-thehermitwithwi-fi679 Рік тому +4

      @@franhunne8929 i suggest the "multiple pass" apprach. Get things in ONE room done, in very manageable steps you choose. Then, go back to where you started and attack it again. Maybe more thrown out, or better organization.
      Do remember to TOSS before you ORGANIZE. Otherwise, you are organizing clutter, which serves no purpose.
      GOOD LUCK!

    Karla is such a pure soul. So warmhearted. Thank you for helping this family Cas. The rooms turned out beautiful.
    I feel the lack of storage space. In my country there are no built in closets, so you have to buy furniture. I moved two times during the last three years and didn't have a wardrobe for all this time, because the budget didn't allow to buy one. I am a cricket and it hurt my soul living out of boxes. You cannot unpack if you have nowhere to put the stuff. I finally got a wardrobe for free last month and I was so thankful. Now everything is extremly tidy as I prefer it to be.

    I am a total ladybug but my husband is a butterfly. I took your advice and defaulted to his organization style, and now our house is more organized, and he can easily put stuff away.
    I prefer visual simplicity, but I must say it has really helped me. If I could have everything hidden, I would, but then I have to tell my husband constantly where stuff is. Now that we have are organized with his style in mind, he is empowered to put stuff where it belongs because he can see where it goes. Lol 😆 thanks Cas!!!!

    Cover the pool (with tarps if that's what it takes), and lay down tarps in the backyard - we harvest mulberries from our trees by laying down tarps because then the berries don't get lost in the grass, but it will make it way easier to collect the pods (I did the same sort of thing in January the night before my mom and I drove my truck home because the truck doesn't have a bed cover yet - all we had to do in the morning before we left was pull the tarp out by the corners and voila! the snow was out of the bed and the bed was completely dry, saving me 1/2-1 hour of work); stake the tarps down if it will be windy at all. There will probably still be seed pods that get in the grass, but it will be a heck of a lot less work to clean up the yard.

    Cass, I only recently stumbled on to Clutterbug and I have been hooked ever since. You are the first person that has ever made the whole "declutter, sort, and organize" make sense for me. I'm definitely a bee, my husband is a ladybug, and daughter is a butterfly. Your categories and philosophy really helped me to understand that we're not messy, we just organize differently. Love these makeovers, they're practical and inspirational. I'm actually tackling my own home one little corner at a time and have shared your videos with others. Wins all around!

    Cas! This video is such great timing considering what project I just finished at 1am before this video released!
    OK long story time:
    This past week I was cat-sitting for a neighbor. Turns out the neighbor has an entirely hoarded house (Level 4), and she’s only lived there a year and a half! I told her: “You know, one of my hobbies is decluttering and organizing. If you don’t mind me touching literally everything you own, I’d love tackling these mountains for you.”
    She said oh my god yes-
    So this past week I was able to fill 2 medium dumpsters of literal trash (cardboard, moldy wood, old papers, etc.), get sentimental stuff into boxes, and zone her home into: living room, office, art room, and a functional bedroom.
    I just got to reveal her cleaned, organized, and decorated house to her last night when she returned and she was so happy and shocked!
    And she’s a bee so I got a pegboard for her Art wall (so now she has a container for all her duplicate supplies), and everything is so beautiful and functional.
    I listened to all of your videos and Dana and Dawn’s videos as I cleaned- so that was great body doubling!
    I did the project for free as well because a functional home is priceless! Happy to share this exciting news with you because her life is changed for the better with the power of decluttering!

    I am a butterfly, but do not have much room in my home to show off all my lovely things, and am really lacking in storage, or any where to put storage! I defiantly have too much stuff, but as I live alone, and only go out of the house to walk my dog, due to acute anxiety, I have to pay someone if I want help, or need to get rid of stuff. I did find out that Oxfam in England will come and pick things up from my home that I am donating, so am starting with that. I love watching your videos, as you are so lovely and happy and inspirational, despite all the things you have on your plate, with your own busy life. Thank you for helping us all. Blessings and hugs from Jilly and licks from Madge the black rescue greyhound, from a hot West Devon, England. xxx

    I love this episode because I don’t feel like I fit any specific category either and have watched the videos on each personality type and I’m a little bit of each or at least 3. I love things hidden but like things to be organized, I keep things I need to get rid of, some things need to be visual, I’m either super organized or a total mess, I also have lists on top of lists of things I want to accomplish but there is so much it’s overwhelming etc. I think I want to be a type A but get too overwhelmed but if I had a magic wand everything would be perfectly organized, labeled, clean lines, etc.
    Edit: my point is I’m glad I’m not the only one that doesn’t seem to fit in just one category lol

And then they will all be picked up. Every seed pod you pick up this year, is a seed pod you never ever have to pick up again. (Because you'll be gone by next June)
    I'm rooting for you!!! Hang in there!!! And maybe have a contest among your kids, with a prize for whoever collects the most seed pods? They might have fun helping you, and that could bring happy energy to the whole thing. (Maybe, if they're game for such a thing)

    That said, this video was for me. I haven't decided if I am a ladybug or a bee. My living room: ladybug. My office and craft room: bee. My kitchen: half and half. Or maybe I am a cricket. I'm not a butterfly so at least I eliminated one type. Great video. Thank you for your wonderful upbeat personality and cheering us on.

    Pure Magic!!! I'd give almost anything to just be able to get ONE ROOM in my home De-Cluttered & Fixed-Up!
    I mean, Cass, You admitted to being I've welmed in that space with boxes & boxes of Clutter. ***But what about if there's a Room which was our "Deal With it Later" Room. But that was like 5-Years ago & now... I can't even open the door all the way! I definitely can't take more than a tiny Baby-Step inside the door threshold! How do you De-Clutter if there not even room to "Zone" things?

    Just last year, some parts of my house looked a lot like this one. Then I started watching you and your friends' videos. Every single time I take your quiz, it comes up bee. Bee, bee, bee! I identified as a cricket. Until I discover that I can't find something, or forgot I had it. So bee organizing works great for me! TYSM! Also, decluttering is huge!

    As a ladybug, I’ve never had such visual clutter, but this video almost makes me wish I had a messy house. Such a beautiful transformation would be so satisfying.

    I feel like I just got Yada-Yada'd. For the storage room, I heard, "Room of Doom", "furniture that was here when they moved in" and "tons of stuff" and "We're going to find a home for anything you want to keep, right NOW." Within 15 seconds it was, "Now the room is empty." Whaaaa??? 😅😆
    Also, I loved the ending the most. Thanks for keepin it real, Cass! I would have pictured you, as a pro organizer, breezing into an open house with a flowy dress and a mocktail, saying, "What, this? No, the house always looks like this!" 🤣

    Our house is like your birch tree! The minute we start to make headway, some catastrophe comes out of nowhere to undermine or seriously interrupt the clean-up momentum.
    *** Could you do a video addressing how one spouse's organizing style, or lack thereof, can sabotage an area once it's been organized? I have ADHD and need a clear, uncluttered system so as not to become overwhelmed. My spouse has no discipline whatsoever when it comes to picking up, putting away, keeping tidy. I'd be interested in hearing how you might handle clients who have majorly conflicting organizing styles.*** Bless you for your great work and positive suggestions.

    Wow-I don’t know how you lived with those trees for 12 years. There are other hybrid types of trees that don’t shed that should be able to give you the same size & shape of the Birch trees. Ugh.

    Interesting on how you organized a combo person.
    My bf is a similar way. I think it's because he prefer stuff he doesn't use often, hidden away. If it's a project or something he likes to use, then it's going to be out but in a visually organized way.😅

    I hear you re birch trees. We have 2 in the house we just inherited from my Finnish mother-in-law. So they have a huge sentimental value to my husband and his brother. It’s the only thing that prevents them being mysteriously attacked overnight. That, and the fact they’re pretty in autumn.

    I feel your pain. Years ago we were renting a farmhouse out in the country, and our landlord was planning to visit from out of state. We spent hours making sure the large yard was mowed and raked and looking as good as we could make it. The night before he was to arrive a horrible wind storm came through, and in the morning the yard looked terrible. The crabapple tree had literally split in half, and there were branches and twigs everywhere!

    This is such a realistic approach to any kind of problem. In my experience when something is overwhelming, it's best to start small and imperfect than it is procrastinate and never do it!
    In some point along the way, magic happens... My momentum and self-confidence builds up and then I am practically unstoppable!
    The other thing I've noticed is tat, even when implementing my first imperfect solution, I get clarity and inspiration and I find it so easy to improve things. My "imperfect" solution acts as a stepping stone towards an better one. I think of it as a first draft of a book. Without a first draft, the masterpiece would never exist ...
