    Tracy, great progress! You've proven that the "onion" method of decluttering works. By making repeated passes over the same space over a period of time, we get rid of things at a pace we are comfortable with - it's like peeling an onion. Though I've seen you be pretty ruthless a time or two! 😎

    • @TracyAkamine
      @TracyAkamine  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you! It definitely has taken layers & time. I noticed that some items take multiple passes before I’ve been ready to let them go. I was looking around today though & was astonished at how much STILL needs to be done🥵 It’s a work in progress😎

    My husband and I have lived in our home for 19 years and we are still decluttering. He finally went through the garage and got rid of alot of garbage and junk. He has a lot of tools and nuts and bolts because he does do home improvement projects so he does reuse things. My stuff is home decor, especially Christmas and Halloween. I'm slowly downsizing and it feels good to unload items to thrift stores. Keep up the good work.

    So glad to hear you say you're proud of yourself. You have done an amazing job. Some people say they are doing it, but you can kind of tell they are doing more of a churn, which is fine if that's where they are at, but you're truly doing it and keeping yourself accountable. You got this, you're amazing!

    When you say you are contemplating where to start in an area you're decluttering or cleaning
    Try one tip two of my favorite UA-camrs use
    First thing:: with an empty trash bag in your hand, first thing you do is pick up the obvious trash
    It is the simple technique I use to get Myself started when I am overwhelmed
    Get the trashes bagged up
    It usually gives me a big jump start

    I need to go into my puppet workshop area and do a second wave of decluttering. Things have started to creep out of the bins and into piles.
    I would love it if you did a video in a certain area that you already decluttered to do a “second wave” of decluttering. I think this will be very motivating for me! I need Tina to come to my house.💕

    The show hoarders rushes people too hard. I’ve learned a lot from The Hoarders Heart You Tube channel. She was a level four hoarder with ADHD. She talks a lot about her process and she kind of makes decluttering fun. She explains why she only tackles small sections at a time because her anxiety gets too high and makes her less willing to part with things. You’re making great progress. New subscriber here.

    I want to declutter so bad and I'm working on it because I am a minimalist at heart but I'm having it hard time being that and an artist at the same time I really want to find someone who is also decluttering so we can trade some of the things that I need and some of the things that she needs and we can swap but not gathering more stuff it's hard to understand maybe I should just go ahead and declutter it I don't know we need a lot of prayers.
