Dang Lady! I am beyond proud of you. Clothing is the hardest battle. Not only that but you just sat where clutter mtn uses to be and your pups have room to play. I am so happy for you. You're doing great
Oh Mira, there is a huge difference in your voice in this video compared to others - it is upbeat and and the pride can be heard, rightly so, it is a true achivement!🎉
I noticed that too. Mira has a lovely sing-song voice anyway, but she really does sound more contented!
OMG ❤ I love it.
A trick that helped me with maintaining my laundry : dont have a big laundry basket! Have one that just fits, så all the clothes fit in one load of laundry. Then you just fill the machine when the basket is full. Also i sort my clothes when i take them off. I have a blue basket for cold wash, a green basket for normal wash and a red one for things that needs hot water.
Im so excitet for you. It took me a long time to get a good laundry rutine. But now its easy for me because i dont have to sort clothes before doing laundry. I just empty a basket into the machine and press go. 😊
Excellent suggestion!
I mentioned in a prior video's comments that I am going through my clothes 12 items a week. After 96 items, I have kept 42 and rid my house of 54 articles of clothing. (28 items donated, the rest tossed in the trash).
Hurrah! Mira, you’ve moved mountains - literally! So glad to hear your happy voice again, you must be thrilled.
I’ve started once again on my closet - it seems to be never ending. Just went through the first pile of tops and have hung 11 back in the closet and have completely filled a large garbage back with the rest of that pile to donate. Those 11 in the closet look pretty lonely!😊 I’ll try to get to the second lot tomorrow. Like you, my stamina is not great - I need to rest and recuperate longer than I work!
Anyhow, this is just to say I am so happy for you and so proud of you for sticking to your clutter peeling.
Big hugs from Calgary.
As for a laundry routine, I really liked the idea another commenter had. Establish wash-sized laudrybaskets for each type of laudry you have (e.g. Light, dark, towels/linens, or cold, warm, hot, whatever makes sense for you), then wash a basket when it gets full.
That’s close to how I do it. Doing only one load at a time makes it so much easier to follow through with hanging/drying/folding. As a fellow ADHD’er I can attest to it being much less overwhelming, and the visual reminder of the full basket is helpful, too.
I am thrilled about how your closet looks. I DO remember the MOUNTAIN of clothes that you started with so this is a huge victory.❣️❤️
You sounded so happy in this video, I loved hearing it! Closet looks good.
You mentioned how to keep track of which pairs of jeans you have used. May I suggest putting a divider on the shelf, like a bookend. When you wear a pair, move it from one side og the divider to the other. With a bookend-like divider, you can move it along the shelf as the used pairs take up more space.
Great idea!
I already decluttered my clothes a while ago, but realised that while I love all my present clothes, there is a lot I simply don't wear. So now I declutter those.
It is much harder this round, but it helps to do it "with" you.
CONGRATULATIONS on getting through what seemed like 7000 items of clothing!!! Even if this was just round one, that’s a huge accomplishment! 👍
You’ve done a wonderful job going through your clothes. What a great feeling of accomplishment for sure. Cheering you on with your decluttering and organizing dreams. You’re right about Bonnie. She is amazing. Love how nicely she folds clothes.
YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!
❤❤❤
Mira.....you should be soooooo proud!!!!!
How lovely to lie in your bed and look at your beautiful closet
😊😊😊
Much love Angela in Scotland xxxxx ❤❤
Mira!!!!! I just love you so much!!! I think it’s great that you have named your areas…Clutter Corner, Clutter Mountain, Indecision Island….makes me smile every time!
I am a deer in the headlights right now. I remember how many clothes I have and am frozen in terror . 40 years worth of things need to be gone through. 😮
One item at a time…you can do this! ❤
Progress not perfection! Moving along!
Yay round 1 of the clothing declutter is almost finished. Getting a laundry routine that works for your current stamina level will be a must. The goal to strive for is getting the clean clothes put away before you have too many piles. You have made so much progress, I know you’ll figure it out.
🎉🎉🎉I enjoy Mira and her puppies ❤️❤️❤️😊
Great job 🎉🎉🎉
I like your wardrobe. Taking the doors off was a brainwave.
Ah, can’t help myself - another comment 😂😂 Last fall I bought 8 pairs of socks for winter in one color. They’re so easy to manage! I’m buying two pairs this fall to replace worn ones. In summer I rarely use socks outside of work, but I have a couple of ankle socks hanging around for sneaker days.
Unless socks are a source of joy and expression for you, I suggest minimizing the mental and physical load of having to pair up socks. I’m sure you have other things you’d rather spend time on 💕
Edit for spelling.
@@Ragt0p I do the same. I only buy black socks, that way they all match and even if they are different brands bought at different times noone will notice
You should be so proud. 20 years of clothes, sorted and purged, everything organized - what an accomplishment! Can we see a full picture of what your bedroom looks like now?
I just got rid of four shirts and gave them to a lady in our church. I've been decluttering for the last 4 years and I'm about running out of clothes to declutter. I'm so proud of you Mira. it looks like to us that it's getting easier every time you declutter. praying that your health improves and the GOOD Lord gives you great days ahead! ❤️
Awesome job ❤
😂😂😂 it goes without saying...I love that shirt!
You sound great and the couch area is looking great! I have thought about my clothes while watching you… but haven’t done anything. I did do shoes and makeup/toiletries.
YaY!!!!! congratulations you must be so relieved.
The hanger trick is an excellent way to go about thinning out the clothes! I use it, too. I also keep one section of closet for things that are sentimental - things I don't wear, but am not ready to let go of. It's a specific size (I added colored duct tape to the closet rod to mark the amount of space I have to stick to) IF I get to a place where the item won't fit in the section, I have to assess and chose which item doesn't get to stay!
Hooray! You completed round one! I’m so happy for you! The closest looks great - no need for doors. It may be easier to maintain without them. I’m in the process of going through my own clothes, linens and kitchen items, hoping to donate them to people in need in the aftermath of hurricane Helene. I find it so much easier to part with things when I know someone else will benefit from them right away. Keep taking care of yourself, Mira. We appreciate your inspiration! ❤❤❤
Bonnie is the best folder EVER!!! What’s the diagnosis that makes you require oxygen? I hope you feel better soon!!! ❤
Wow! Congrats on finishing round 1 of clothes! 🎉🎉🎉
Go Mira, go Mira🎉🎉🎉
You house is looking soooo good. Maybe you could try the one in one out rule with you clothes
Rolling jeans and leggings and putting on shelf is awesome. I do that!
So proud. What a huge accomplishment!!!! Your closet looks amazing!!!
You sound like you’re feeling better! You have clean areas by the couch so your house IS getting better too ! Even if it may not feel that it is.
I decluttered my closet a few weeks ago with the help of my partner. Now I have to get rid of the discarded clothes. That is the hardest part for me, because I don't have a car.
I’ve followed your journey of peeling away the clutter. You have done a fabulous job, Mira! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My clothes situation is TBD 😊
I have 6 pairs of jeans. I always take the pair hanging on the right side, and hang freshly washed jeans last on the left. so I have a constant rotation. ONE bag of laundry per week which is done monday morning. always. and who says socks all have to match, anyway.
👍🎉😁 Yay! Congratulations on crossing the clothing finish line!!! 🏃♀️ You did it! 🎉👕👖🐕🐕
Proud of YOU. Getting ahead one step at a time.
I helped a friend declutter an entire classroom's worth of stuff since they are recovering from back surgery and have time to sit and dictate where things go. Garage cleaning is in process. kitchen has been scrubbed, hose mopped and vacuumed, 3 dogs fully groomed, car cleaned, and more to go this week.
Your closet looks like a boutique display. 🤗 I have realized I need to go over everything in my closet. There are things to mend that I wear despite, some with stains, some that are just so old that they need to go. It's a big project (probably larger in my mind as these things are). I was just thinking this afternoon that I needed to email you to check in. So lovely to come home this evening and see your happy update. Glad you are taking things as slow as you need for healing. 🌻🍄
I love the bins in the closet! For your items on the shelves maybe you can tie a ribbon around them or even use a piece of painters tape to keep them in a ‘roll’. If they are still marked when you are ready to go through your clothing again you can reassess.
I put plastic rings on the hanger hook after I’ve worn it. After while I look over unmarked clothes and decide why I didn’t wear it in the first place. Then I often pass them along.
Great tip. Thank you!
Yay!!🎉Mira! You are a superstar for going through all of your clothing! You will love having all of your clothes in one area. ❤Beautiful work! ❤
Yaaayyy! Bravo Mira, for getting the clothes under control! Your closet looks lovely.
Amazing you did it!👍💖
Round 1 going through all of your clothes is done YEAH 😀. Congratulations Mira, you reached that milestone. 🎉🎆🎈👏💖👍
Be proud of yourself and get yourself something special. This is so exciting and impressive, you made it ❤️❤️❤️.
To establish a laundry routine I highly recommend laundry baskets to collect and sort. This is what works for me: I use one for dark🌑 clothes, one for light-colored ⚪ ones and another for bedsheets and towels. Each of them has the size of one washing machine load, so I can easily see when that laundry basket is nearly full so it's time to do at least that one load. When it comes to socks and underwear I use laundry nets to keep things together and even for better handling when the machine is done.
I'm sure you'll figure out what works for you. Can't wait for that new project"behind the door pile"😊. Stay safe and listen to your body (and docs as well), don't overdo it 💝🤗. Sometimes you need to rest and that's ok.
I'm so happy for you.
You are amazing! Your closet looks great 👍 you sound so upbeat and happy ❤
Excellent work conquering clothing mountain! So satisfying and motivating! I try to let my non seasonal and non fitting clothes go on a regular basis so that my mornings aren't spent searching through a mess. Doing better all the time!
Hi Mira, I have a feeling that just like me you have times of coping and coping less.
My laundry reflects that.
I have a 'normal' volume of clothes in my cupboard. That is for when I can keep up with laundry.
Then I have extra clothes in crates for not coping times when I'm not able to do laundry.
At the end of a not coping time I catch up on laundry and return to the cupboard.
When you are figuring out a laundry routine, I do better doing a smaller load more regularly.
I also realised that my capacity is smaller than what the washer can do. I replaced my laundry basket with a smaller one the size of the bundle I can cope with. When it's full, I do a wash.
An idea you can explore?
That's amazing 😊. I bet it feels so good doesn't it 😀. Don't underestimate anything 'little' you may be doing at the moment. Anything you do while you are still recovering is a big bonus. I have gone through my wardrobe a couple of times while you have been sorting yours. I don't have a lot of clothes but I couldn't fit summer and winter clothes in there together, but now I have managed to get most of them in there. Colt looks like a little angel sitting there. The picture of innocence 😁😇 good to see you Mira. Until next week 👋
Congratulations! This is a true milestone. You have really done so much decluttering. I’m so happy you have your closet set up and organized. Amazing job.
You've come a long way ( down clothing mountain) CONGRATULATIONS MIRA 🎉.
Wow! Your closet looks beautiful!! I'm so proud of you and I hope it helps you build your routines.
Mira!!! I can hear a difference in your voice, you sound upbeat and energized. Congratulations! I hope you are very proud of yourself. ❤️❤️
Celebrate! You did it Mira! Your closet looks so much better, and the journey will continue to improve it one piece of clothing at a time. You've taken inventory, and it is time to reflect and and make decisions for future you! Applause, applause, applause!
Mira-
You have inspired me so much in my decluttering work. You have inspired me to keep going, and to never give up🫶
Thank you for sharing your decluttering journey with all of us.
It takes courage to share yourself with us❤
Take care😊
WOW! I’m so happy for you to have made it to the end of 1st round of clothing!! You did it!! I know it felt overwhelming in the beginning, but with perseverance and one-step-at-a-time, you got there. How fun to watch this video this morning. 🥳🥳
This is the stuff!❤❤❤ You sound like you're feeling better, yay! Pat yourself on the back queen!
Love that you can laugh at your situation 💜👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 well done,, you have come along way from that first video that’s amazing who knew 😁👌💛
You sound so much better!! So proud of you!! One step at a time. Slow and steady Mira!
Congrats Mira on successfully tackling clothing mountain❤ i have enjoyed being along for your journey and look forward to the next project❤❤❤
As others have noted, you DO sound much more upbeat despite being on oxygen! Getting to the bottom of Clothes Mountain is a HUGE accomplishment. Yay, you!
You asked about how others handle clothing clutter. Frankly, other than hanging on to clothes I haven't worn in a long time, clothing hasn't been my major (or even a minor) clutter problem, mainly because I really dislike shopping and tend to wear my clothes until they fall apart. My main clutter comes from holding onto things that "might be useful" or craft supplies that I "might" want to use. Books, audio tapes, books, yarn, books, cloth, books, and more books. I am slowly decluttering my books to the local Friends of the Library for their book sales. Any books I don't intend to reread, or that I know I can borrow back from the library if I do want to read, are going. Because they are heavy I can only take 4-5 each time I visit the library, it is a slow process, but it's coming along.
As for other hints for your clothing declutter, I find Dana K White's Container Concept can be very helpful. You now have your beautiful closet upgrade to define your container. Whichever bin(s)/drawer(s) have been designated for jeans now define how many jeans you can keep. Put the ones you love best into the space designated for them, then donate/sell what doesn't fit. Or remove the least-favorite items until what's left fits.
I do like the turned-around hanger idea, and intend to do that in hubby's closet so he can see which shirts he doesn't wear (He has a lot more clothes than I do!) Here's hoping it works.
I purged summer clothes and will do winter and fall as it gets a little cooler. This month sometime!
I’m so happy for you! You’ve done amazing!!! Bonnie is a gift for sure but then you do so much on your own!!! Keep going!!!
Closet is looking great- hope to see continuing progress soon 👏🏻💪🏼
Yay Mira! Congratulations! You’ve completed decluttering your clothes for the 1st time! It’s been a long, time-consuming project, but you stuck with it and saw it through! I hope you treat yourself for this accomplishment! I’ve figured out that decluttering will never end, for me, but it will never be as challenging as getting through everything that first time. I’m continuing my 2nd decluttering pass through. My big project is in the kitchen, and I’m decluttering and reorganizing at the same time. I’ve accepted that I reach indecision paralysis quickly, and when that happens I take a break from the kitchen project and work on other small projects until I’m ready to resume in the kitchen. I’ve also learned to appreciate the process, not just the final result. I’m glad you’re continuing to recover and so happy to hear that you’re continuing your UA-cam journey!! I look forward to seeing your next project! Clay and Colt are as adorable as ever!
Go Mira X3! You are an amazing woman. You did it!❤❤❤❤❤
Sending you hugs, Mira ❤ I love that shark bed 😂 I think it would help to have a basket near your closet (like the black/transparent one at the beginning of the video) and put a big DECLUTTER sign on it and every time you put sth on and don't want to keep it you throw it in there
You sound happier, Mira. I am so proud of what you have accomplished. I am not working on my messes as fast as I should, but it's one day at a time.
IT ALL FIT in the closet! Woo-hoo! You go, girl! 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊 You've been waiting to say that for ages, and we are all soooo proud of you! Now if only I could say that! 😟😟😟
Fighting! ❤
I am wearing a tunic that I will donate after washing. But I find it a bit harder when I sort out one item every other month, since I want it out the house and done with. Instead having this bag with 3-4 items knocking about for months.
Oh well..
Good for you Mira! 🎉 So nice to see you have all clothes in your closet. Easy accessable and everything visible for easy find, it's great!
Mira, unbelievable improvement in the state of your home, but you look like you've lost quite a bit of weight too! Celebrate the progress you've made on your journey!
Your closet looks great, you can be so proud of yourself😊
Thanks to you I’m getting rid of my 2 dressers. My clothes and shoes are all in one closet and 2 nightstand drawers. Thank you for the inspiration. I’m also a scrapbooker and have already got that decluttered as well. You asked what the toughest thing was to declutter like you it’s the sentimental stuff I totally have the memory attach thing to. My depression have gotten so much better since watching and listening to you. I really need your soothing voice and wisdom on stuff to help me get out of my funk . Thanks for sharing your journey and congrats on round one completion. I’ve done about 4 rounds to get where I am and I quit shopping for things I don’t need. I also do one in one out . If I fall off the wagon. Which of course when something happens I do.😊 Thanks again for opening your heart and don’t listen to the hater’s they are not happy people misery loves company.😂
You should be sooooooooo proud of yourself Mira!! I have been with you since the very beginning and the amount of progress from then until now is unbelievable!! I am so glad you decided to document all your progress so you can see the physical results!! Amazing! Just amazing!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow, congratulations!! You really did it! That's a huge milestone. To be honest, I didn't expect everything to fit the closet, that is do amazing! You decluttering muscles sure got strong. So these are all the clothes (plus leggings and t-shirt collection)? That was a huge downsizing compared to before. I love that everything has its designated spot now. It is so nice to see your hone, and you alongside with it, change as you peel away! As for your question, I went through my closet at least once more since you started your channel, but it's already the nth pass (don't remember but I worked on it for ages). There is always something to declutter. The less you have the more you realize which ones are true favorites. It is a long process, at least for me, and I could not go to a 'capsule wardrobe' right away. Looking forward to your next projects!
Great job, Mira 👏 keep plugging away.
Congrats Mira !!!!!!!well done enjoy your hard work sweet lady 💕💕💕
Round one is done - that's such a big achievement!! Congrats! 🌻
Wonderful! Glad to see you. I was worried about you.
Yay, what a milestone! 🎃🧡💜Jeans tip! I wash them cold inside-out and hang them on hangers (in our garage) to dry. I actually wash everything inside-out. And this is handy because I fold pants inside-out until they are worn. Then, if I want to rewear a pair, I can tell because they are right-side out! If you want to mark which ones you have tried on (and don't fit) maybe fold-up a cuff or tie a knot in the leg? Tying a knot is how ladies used to mark stockings to be repaired! 🧵🪡👖
Yep, I am about to switch out my summer to winter wardrobe. All my clothes fit in one closet. I just switch from top to bottom, front to back every season.
I have no leggings, I have one pair of black yoga pants and my jean's don't fit. I have one closet with the same color hangers as yours. My husband also has the same hangers. I have boxes of craft supplies in my closet. I am so glad you are doing so great in your decluttering ❤
Well done the cupboard look great like the storage bins . Like you I have done one pass of clothes I had I large black dustbin bag I could of probably done 3 ,my daughter normally helps as she is ruthless 😜but it’s what I need but she has not long had a baby do I didn’t want to ask .its the new cloths and my favorite ones that unfortunately no longer fit that I’m struggling to part with . I’ll get there I feel better with just the one bag so I totally feel your joy 👍
Have you read The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elizabeth Tova Bailey? I read it years ago while recovering from cancer surgery and it really impacted me. It is about her slow journey of recovery from a major health issue. My big take away was that it doesn’t matter how slow you go as long as you go. I thought of that during this video as you talked about the job of the clothes. It has been a huge job but you took it in your own time and look at the marvelous result!
Another great job! You started with out-of-control clothes piles and look at you now. Great job!
It must be a great feeling to achieve such a massive goal. Slow and steady WON the race 😁
I am missing more frequent videos but the important thing is that you and the boys are well. Looking forward to future videos.
Love that you have come this far!!! It is The end of round one (1). You mentioned that you watch Hoarders Heart. I watch her, too. Always fun to see her first Kon Marie method on the clothes where she dressed in a Superman cape! Each year is better, No Spend Challenge is always a challenge. Soooo excited for all the solutions to your clothes challenge you have implemented. You have come a long way!!!! Congratulations!!!
Wow, what an amazing change you have effected! You deserve to be proud of yourself for what you've accomplished.
I go through my clothes every fall and spring when I change my clothes out for fall/winter and spring/summer. I still have too many, but less than you. I am 80 and probably would never have to buy more.
❤ I absolutely love your closet!
Wow🎉🎉🎉 You did it!❤❤❤
You are FANTASTIC! This is a great achievement.
I go through my closet once a year at least and get rid of anything I know I'm not going to wear. Great job Mira ❤
Hi Mira, good to see you finish with clothing. So well done. I m looking forward to watch the boxes in the laundry room too. Love and hugs.🫶
Yay, a new Mira video!! Also yay clothes!! :)
You must look at clothes now and think 'aaaaaahhhhhh!' congratulation though!
Hope you are okay and continue your journey soon.
