    Got up before my husband today and was playing with the cats and drinking coffee, and I thought, “I wish there was a new video from Benita to watch right now.” I turned on the tv and opened UA-cam, and 🤯 there is a new Benita video!!! 🎉😂 YAY! This made my day 😂😂🥰

    My holiday decor takes me 5 minutes to put away. I've really pared back what is important to me. As I always do each January, I go around the house to check for areas that might need attention. I am so proud of myself.......I could nothing that needed attention this year!! Your channel has really helped me a lot through the years and I have to thank you Benita for helping me reach this stage and goal in my life.

    my father used to say, a pile for everything and everything on its pile - he was messy and when he was in the army (WW2) the sergeant told the commander to NOT touch anything on his desk because he knew where everything was...because I worked for my father, I became that way too which was why I needed to learn about decluttering and proper storage of important items....thats where channels like yours come in - it helps me to keep up with my anti-hoarding and clutter-free existence. So thank you for another inspirational video. My wish is for a prosperous 2025 to you and yours ♥

    Benita, I love this video!
    A couple years ago I decluttered Christmas.
    We’re seniors living in a small condo, but I had always put up a lavishly decorated 5’ tree, a couple of wreaths, Christmas throw pillows, and quite a bit of tabletop decor. Even though everything had been quite expensive, it all went to the donation centre.
    Now, I have Christmas in a box. In it are:
    * four small-ish mercury glass battery-powered Christmas trees of
    different sizes and design
    * three boxes of small-ish glass ornaments that go into a glass bowl
    along with hidden battery-powered votive candles
    * one adorable Christmas teddy bear gifted to us by my sister
    * one throw with a holly berry and leaf design
    That’s it, that’s all, and I love each item that was so carefully chosen.
    Best New Year wishes to you and yours, Benita! 😊

    These are my hard limits: 12 linear yards for books; one basket for tablecloths and one for napkins/placemats; bed linens that fit in a trunk; 2 towels + 2 bathmats +2 hand-towels (+ a few old thin ones for cat clean-up emergencies); one drawer for candles; wool throws, linen wraps, and pillow covers must fit in an under bed bin; seasonal decor (not including Christmas) must all fit on the top shelf of the closet. If something new comes in, another piece goes to be donated. Keeps me organized. No one would call me a minimalist, but everything has a place.

    I love your videos, they are calming and beautiful! I too just decluttered over ten years of our business paperwork and bought a shredder at the op-shop and shredded it all. I then spent a few afternoons compressing and making paper bricks for our fire from the shreds. totally recycled and paper clutter free! My mantra for decluttering is a bag or boxful out to one item in. This has made getting rid of stuff and keeping the house clutter free easier. I bet everyone who visits your home feels calm and relaxed when they leave! We find our guests linger longer these days, as the house is a lot calmer and less visually cluttered!

    This came out at the perfect time for me! Just got home from my holiday vacation, and have been so motivated to declutter some problematic areas of my home. I was so ready to get things done that I had to pause the video and start making progress (came back to finish the video after😉). Got totally decluttered under both of my sinks and it feels great! Living in a small apartment, keeping things neat and organized is so important, and your videos have helped me so much over the years!

    I feel like this is like a "Best of Benitas Tipps" :-) - Containing the items (= if the allocated space is full, something needs to go), you dont have to declutter everything as once, just keep what you need, use or love, etc. Perfect! For me, having 1 box of decor, 1 box of hobbies (paint, fabric,etc)1 box of tools, 1 small ox of silverware, 1 box of documents..it all helps to contain and urges you to make decisions before stuff accumulates your habitat.

    I decorate to celebrate winter, not Xmas, so I keep my decorations up until spring. They mostly consist of candles and plants that I overwinter indoors. I love the look of lights in the windows on a cold, dark night. I was kind of sad to see you take the paper start light come down--it seems so pretty and not at all cluttery.

We moved 9 years ago with 2 giant totes, 4 regular sized ones, a bag of lights, and a 6.5ft tree in bag for seasonal decor. We now have 1 ex large tote, 2 regular sized ones sized and a tree in a bag and a partridge … 🎼

    There are several basis ways that I declutter. One is as I got through the day, no matter where I am, I look for or perhaps notice that I can declutter an item. The other way is to choose an area to declutter. Sometimes I set a timer and often keep going and other times I stop when the timer bings. Another is seasonal...like Christmas or spring...then I am in the garden and shed or garage when I store garden and misc. items in addition to my car. In addition to feeling better with less stuff, it gives me great pleasure to know that someone else will soon be enjoying these items. I give some to the thrift shop and some to the free shop. I think of myself not so much a minimalist, but as someone who does not have too much stuff...yet I find it amazing how I keep finding so much to give away. Sometimes they are large items and sometimes just small ones.
    I appreciate all the videos of youtubers who are minimalists as they are always motivation to continue. Sometimes, they mention something that I had not thought of ...that I could give away. Now it is time to check the Christmas decorations to be put away. So thank you Benita for mentioning to check what I did not use this year even though I did check while choosing items to use. I find it is oftentimes important to "double check"!.

    You made me laugh. You decluttered some spaces 🤣. I've got a whole house to declutter. Both sons changed housing and went from big to small. Very small. And guess where all is dumped? Oh, well. But the Christmas deco is away and only needs to go to the attic.

    None of the four people I live with (husband and three teens) are neat, organized, or minimalists, so I'm always the bad guy ("we don't need that", "that won't add value" "it's not worth having to store and take care of this" "it's wasteful" "this fabric is basically plastic" "if your things are in their place it'll be easier to get ready for school" "let me help you pair down so it's less of a chore to clean your room" "it doesn't matter that your friends have five of these, one is good" etc.) Seriously, couldn't at least one of my kids be naturally organized??! Sometimes I despair because it's like walking upstream. But after watching your calm, encouraging video (as usual), I am motivated to do what I can today because it still makes ME happier to have a clean, minimal, organized home. Thank you! (You have mentioned that your ex wasn't a minimalist, but was your son when he was growing up? He seems to be organized now:)

    Benita I just love your videos. I watch them all. I decluttered my Christmas decor before putting it all up this year & when I took down the decor last week I decluttered more. I did something different this year. I took photos of everything I have before packing it away & put those photos in a folder on my phone. I did this so when it comes close time next Christmas, I can look on my phone & see just what I have. I'm hoping this will help eliminate the temptation to purchase new decor just because. I love being VERY organized in my home (it's an obsession I'm afraid) 🙂One thing I love about your home is how organized it is. "you're a girl after my own heart!❤

    I took down my decor on boxing day as I too started mid November. I haven't decided what I am decluttering but some items have to wait for someone to take it down to the recycle area as it's large. Clothing is something I am constantly repairing to keep from buying new. Not buying new plants until spring. I reuse my holiday gift bags for giving gifts the next year. You are always inspiring Benita :)

    Happy New Year, Benita🥂🌟 It is right that dedicating a specific place to every item is crucial for having a tidy, organized home. I learnt that back then when I worked as a flight attendant many many years ago and applied that to my private place! On board, every piece of equipment, may it large or tiny, has to be stored in a specific place for safety and organisation reasons - the crew taking over the airplane for the next flight needs to find everything in its place ready to use. Everything else would cause complete chaos. And due to limited space capacities you have only necessary items on board and nothing that messes up... Ever since, my home is organized and tidy and I avoid owning unnecessary stuff and declutter as soon as anything seems to pile up! Best wishes to you 🍀

This time I wanted to be free of the Christmas decorations on the first day of the year and start the new year! I found it very inspiring :)) The days are short here too (south of Germany). I put small lights on the window sills. It's cozy and beautiful.

      I declutter as I pull things out of Christmas storage for decorating and donate to a thrift store. Then it is available to others to buy and use in the season. Thrift stores are inundated with holiday items after Christmas which don't sell because the season has passed.

    ❤ Hej, dear Benita! Thank you for you content! Not only it is inspiring and uplifting, but also relaxing. I’m sometimes a bit upset when it comes to videos on the topic of decluttering and organising and the creator tries to motivate you by speaking too fast too loud with too much emphasis: in fact, it’s counterproductive since it becomes overwhelming for some viewers (e.g.: me!). You cool voice, your calm music backgrounds and your beautiful and relaxing interiors all contribute to make your content enjoyable, inspiring, relaxing and comforting, although never boring. Talk about lagom, eh?

    This was the first Christmas that I've put away my regular decor when it was time to decorate for the holidays, The whole effect was much more minimalist and relaxing. Cleaning was easier, it was easier on my eyes etc. I'm not ready to put the holiday stuff away yet but I know already I will be decluttering as I go.

It feels so good to only keep the items that I truly cherish (and that aren't broken). I can't wait to watch more of your videos! Thank you Benita! I'm sending you loving vibes to you.

    This year I made the ornaments from the toilet paper rolls like you did last year. I ran some warm white fairy lights around a floating shelf with plants and hung the ornaments from the shelf. It was simple but brought a festive element to my space. After the new year I just relocated the lights and put the homemade ornaments in the compost bucket. Nothing to store. No fuss no muss.
    I also did a 25 item declutter challenge before New Years which became a 52 item declutter. Even as a minimalist I was able to get rid of a lot.

    My decorations go up the day after Thanksgiving and come down on New Year's day. I also like to declutter holiday decorations when I put them up, so I can send the unwanted items to the secondhand store, and they can be used by someone else for the current season. This was a lovely video, thanks for the inspiration!

    Love your videos-always so inspiring. I’ve really adopted “don’t put it down. Put it away”, and this has REALLY eliminated the mess. It ‘s funny when I catch myself dropping something on a surface “just for a minute”… I just force myself to stop and do it right. Things are really so much easier now- no more piles of things to do later.
    Happy new year.🩷
    Edit.. one way I got rid of the sock mess (no mate, colors ugh).. I tossed them all. Bought all matching socks. Now they all match, so no making pairs- they all go together.
