Noooo! I don't want this series to end! This has been the best decluttering series I have ever watched. The 5 minutes, 5 things has made tackling scary places (junk closet, garage, crafts) seem not so scary. Thank you so much Cas!!!!!
@@willsx2 agree! Best ever! Especially for those who have been paralyzed about starting. I’ve been decluttering for some time but my sister visited for a week and she falls into the paralyzed category. She said she couldn’t start because it was too frightening. We watched the videos together and she is now ready to do the 5 minute thing. My bet is she goes much further than that!
I'm honestly gonna go through it again. Starting tomorrow I'm watching Day 1 again and going through it all over 😂
Exactly!!! Same here!!!
Yes I felt that too
Agree with you.
I'm going to follow this every month because I love this and my space becomes very tidy
Could you do another 30 day series but on cleaning in 5 minutes or 15 minutes?
I second this!
Yes! I would love this too!
I’d watch that series! 🎉
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this challenge. It has been so much fun. I plan to rewatch and do more decluttering.
I am going to rewatch!!!
This challenge has been the most helpful decluttering technique. I have decluttered every day, and rarely stopped at 5 items. Thank you very much.
Same with me too
It's been a fabulous journey, thank you for the inspiration, all your hard work, your positivity and freely sharing your knowledge. Loved the funny stories too!!
Woohoo!! What an amazing month!! My house has less stuff and I have started to pick things up that are out of place as i go about my day and put them in the relevant place or in the trash/ donations.
Thank you so much for doing this. You are amazing! ❤
Me too!
The junk removal guys will be here in an hour to take the bags, plus my childhood piano which is broken and can’t be fixed. I’ve been crying all morning but I know future me is going to be happy to have space for a new piano I can actually play! They will be taking 9 full trash bags of clutter and my dad’s old office furniture as well. THANKS CASS I LOVE YOU 🙏❤️🇨🇦
I love the challenge format! These 30 days have been fun and productive. It even got my husband motivated to join in. How about a challenge for cleaning? A video on decluttering holiday decor while decorating with what you still love would be interesting too. Thanks for all you do!!
I too would like a challenge for cleaning.
Yes! A 5 minute clean with me every day would be super helpful leading up to Thanksgiving.
Yes, let's get rid of the holiday decor we have not used in years...yet we have kept.🤤
Really like both of these ideas.
Glad I can see this! Missed the last couple of days! No power or water! Pray for western NC!

I’m glad you are able to reconnect at the least, Patty. It’s devastating to learn of these stranded people and see images from your area. God bless you. 💜
Congratulations to Everyone!!
I’ve loved these and I’m going to continue doing this every month.
I had started strong, then found out I needed emergency surgery to reattach my retina. I'm better but not all the way there. And I have decided once I am, I am resuming the challenge.
I've had that surgery twice for detached retinas (once in each eye). Hang in there--it's challenging. Even just watching or listening to these videos will motivate and encourage you for when you're able to get back to the decluttering.
🙏❤️
721 items out of my house. My decluttering went beyond the 5 minutes, but I followed the calendar as best as I could. A lot was papers and jewelry but the chunk of big bags leaving was linens. We also got the basement and garage cleaned out and ready for snow. I think now that we decluttered we go back to the same areas and organize. Thanks for the motivation. It was fun. Enjoy the day
Wow! Amazing 👏👏👏
Well done!!! This is inspiring! I’ve done pretty well, too!
Hi Cas, I don’t like to comment on the internet, but this is the first time I completed any challenge. It made a huge difference in my apartment. I am currently living with my mom since she is old and she needs my help. We ended up with stuff to fill two apartments (mine and hers). I started with only five minutes, five things, only with my stuff, as you said. But since the 17th. I made enough space to decorate some space for nuts and dried fruits in the kitchen, with old glass jars were I can see them, ( I am a bee and I like to see my stuff) it looks so cute. My mom was so happy and she felt motivated to declutter wich is difficult, because she feels emotional for everyting. We went overboard, far over the five things. We finished the whole apartment. Her room used to look like a storage room now looks great. We have almost 15 bags for donations, and I don’t even know how many bags of trash. We still have to finish the storage unit downstairs, but it made a huge difference so far. Thank You very much for your great platform.
That was fun! I'm going to restart the series in October. It's 5 minutes a day. Great job!
Me too!
Same!
Me too!
I'm so excited.. I made it all the way, everyday. I have loved this so much!!!! I expected it to be harder for me to find things but GIRL I found stuff every day and it's out now! I also had 4 women in my family doing this and they all kept up with it too! They made MASSIVE improvements in their homes, which was my entire goal! Thank you so much for being the change in the world!! 😁👏🏻🌎💕🙌🏻🎉
YES! I made it though all 30 days. I'm keeping my printouts on my fridge and every 6 months I am going to do this again. I can see the difference in my house. I can get a mixing bowl from under my cabinet without an avalanche. I can find an important receipt if I need it. I AM CHANGED. Thank you, Cas! ( a note about future videos,...I liked the video you did about 5 minute cleaning routines that we could do with you. Brava! More,More!)
I've been looking forward to the mail and the video every day. Never could imagine myself actually looking forward to receiving decluttetingmission. It was great to get pushed into dreaded places and reminded to NOT do to much. I will miss this.
OMG that flew by 😢 Thanks for much 💜 We'd join you doing just about anything 😂 Love the idea of putting my new found time and space to fun use with some DIY projects 👏
New series!!! Organize October!!! I need a 30-day challenge for 5minute organize!!! Pleeeaaassee
Ooo - I love the idea of a monthly challenge of some kind. It could be weekly for the month - for example a week with decluttering, organizing and updating the entryway - perfect to do before Thanksgiving. The door, the coat closet, the living area, all would be great focus areas for October-November.
Yes!
@@danamiceli4948 Cas, since your home is already organized, I volunteer as tribute! 😏
Yes!
Come to my house @clutterbug!
I think I'll start over at the beginning. I have truly built decluttering muscles. Thank you so much for this 30 days.
Thank you so much for this challenge! I decluttered so much!!!
I loved this challenge 🎉
VERY BEST ever decluttering series. THANK YOU so much, CAS. You are inspiring and through these last 30 days of tiny tasks, you hve put me in the habit of remembering, decluttering, throwing out and throwing away---every day. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Reading others' comments, and seeing their progress and inspiration has also helped me in so many ways. Many thanks to everyone in this group.
I totally agree!!!!!
You're welcome!
Just took 5 massive bags to the donation centre - they were so happy, but nowhere as happy as I was to get this stuff out of my home!! 🎉😅
Day 30 I am here I am going to my hotspot! I have had so much fun! I even just randomly walk around and look for things to throw away or declutter! This was so inspiring. Thank you Cass!
Thank you for this series. Will you make it a playlist that can play and just run? Video ideas: updated clean with me or how you maintain clean in your new home.
Yes, this!! Would love an easy to find playlist so we can keep on doing it xx
Yes!
Playlist is a great idea
Cas, please do a 30 day home cleaning challenge. 30 days of 5-10 minute cleaning of areas that are considered "spring cleaning."
Cas-the best thing I got out of this was the permission to stop. I am autistic and a perfectionist and it leads to overwhelm & burnout because I feel I have to do a whole area when I start reorganizing/decluttering. Last night I filled a trash can in my office with paperwork and was able to just stop when I felt burnout creeping in. This is truly life changing for me. THANK YOU.
About 50 pieces of dish pottery (nice)- still have a full set- collection was out of hand!
2 airplane carry-on bags (had 4), again a collection that got out of hand!
1 suit bag- too big to bring anyway, part of that same suitcase collection.
about 50 underwear- got all new ones
2 torn dog beds- got new ones
5 pairs of torn socks- got new ones
5 food storage containers without lids
hand sanitizer purchased for Covid 4 years ago- never used
expired medication
old makeup
the attachments to a razor that I never used
2 frying pans with their lids that were warped- got new cast iron.
8 books- but bought some used ones at 1/2 Price Boooks including Dana's Organizing at the Speed of Life
4 pairs of pants I don't wear anymore
a pair of shorts that didn't fit right
a swimsuit not in a style I like anymore
a dog crate that hadn't been used in over a year
a headset for a landline telephone
3 cups that don't go with anything
And then I bought a shredder for the paper- so perhaps thousands of pieces of paper went, including taxes from 20 years ago and the 2017 receipt to the underwear ditched above!
And a lot of other misc. small stuff, plus organized.
So I thought I wouldn't even have 150 things, but then once you got into each day and a different space I realized there were things that could go from each space. It feels better now. Thank you!
WOW, Mary...just WOW!
Good for you!
This is brilliant! I am at my house and in a couple of weeks I will go to our appartment and then I will start over with another 30 days decluttering 😘 Lots of love from Sweden 🇸🇪
Sounds great! Here's the playlist:

@@Clutterbug Thank You! 😘
Awe, Thank you. 😊 I did it! 😃
I’m looking forward to your DIY and decorating videos. 😊
Thank you for doing this challenge. It has been amazing… and has made a big difference ! 😊 👍🏻
Maybe a countdown to Christmas ?
Yes!! 🎄🎁
I didn’t think this would work for me because I have watched many videos of yours and I took pride in my organization skills low and behold I tossed or gave away many items (lots) love your videos it was fun
Sad that this is the last day but so happy with the results! Thank you!
Yay! I made it. 👏🏼 It’s a sad/happy day! ❤😢😂
I watched all the videos and didn't have to much to get rid of.😮😮😮
Me too 👏 I think it's because I've been body doubling with Cas, Dawn and Dana for the past year. I was super proud of myself for tackling some of the ick stuff I'd put off, 💯 spurred on by Cas 💝💝💝
Thank you for helping us to strengthen our decluttering muscle and getting rid of things in the process!
WHY AM I SAD that today is the last day?? I didn't participate every day, but THE CHANGE IN MY HOUSE makes me so dang happy that I'm going to continue the challenge well afterward. Thanks for the inspiration, it's been EXACTLY what my brain needed to get the work DONE!!
This was a brilliant idea! I’ve enjoyed “ meeting up” with everyone in this community for the past 30 days and have been surprised at the clutter that is leaving in my home. Thank you and blessings to all. ❤
I can’t believe e 30 days have already passed! Thank you so much for this challenge. You have changed my life, and I am certain this is true for gazillions more. ❤❤
I did it. 😊. I looked forward to it thank you. Some days was harder to access my things I’m in the middle of renovating my flooring and cabinets. But it was a great opportunity to deal with items. Over 150 items left my home. So again thanks.
This has been so much fun! We’re going to miss you too. Regarding videos: DYI decor would be great, fall cleaning, favorite products, etc.
I watched on some days. I did not take part as I do not make decisions that fast as to what goes..Watching Cas clear out clutter helped me to do more cleaning up in my space...I also did 1 hour of decluttering visible clutter in my living room area. I got three bags of stuff thrown out.. This motivated me to do future decluttering of the other visible areas in the other rooms 😀 Thank you Cas 😀
I feel so accomplished- but also sad that we wont see you daily for the funny stories! Thank you so much for helping me declutter so easily this month! Thank you declutter bestie!
Decluttering other people’s spaces (I.e. friends, family, whoever!).
Thank you so much Cass for spending the time with us! I will continue to do this because honestly, it feels great to know that even with my chronic pain and health setbacks I CAN do this 💪🏻 even if I need to modify accordingly each day! I’ve always loved Productivity and keeping busy my entire life.. but pain set me back from doing so. I truly appreciate this 30 day challenge and I’m so motivated 🤗❤️❤️❤️
Same here, it is the way to go, so proud of us. ❤
Time to rewatch the videos each day in October!
I missed three days so I will go back and watch them. I do so much better when I watch your videos.
Next 30 days clean different areas for 5 minutes
You have changed my life, I was in the dumps, crying everyday due to a relative diagnosis, stress, lack of sleep, overwhelmed by clutter, eating unhealthy and just everything! I was so done! So I started with Dave Ramsey finance baby steps, working out and following you, I did this challenging and now im a whole new person!! I wish I could give you the biggest hug for turning me around! My life is on its way to being stress free!!
Hi Caz my intention was to complete this challenge but due to unforeseen circumstances I ended up in hospital and thankfully after a couple of surgeries am home today. Tomorrow is the 1st October so I am going to be a month behind but I'm determined to complete this challenge even if it is a month behind everyone else - Thank you for the October motivation in advance!!!
Your 30 day challenge was so great! I looked forward to the next project and didn't dread it because it was just 5 minutes. And, of course, I always stayed until the end. You are a great story teller. So I have four boxes full of 'stuff' in the back of my car for Goodwill.
When we were doing the purse clean out - this is great - I found a $100 bill I had tucked away and forgot about!
Loved this series SO much!!! Thank you for doing this with us! So inspired and will definitely rewatch as needed!!! High fives to you for stucking with the 5 minutes and 5 items for us!!!
Thank you so much Cas for this 30 day declutter challenge. I have several hot spots. I tackled two of them today. I am planning to print out the 30 day declutter challenge guide to use again in October, November and December. I check off each day when I am done.
I need to do this challenge again. We got rid of a lot. But the house still needs more help.
Me too 😢...but she left us access to repeat.
😅🎉 HOORAY FOR CAS! Thank you so much for this past 30 days! You have helped change my life!❤❤❤
I got through day 10 successfully, then got Covid. So I will start over. Thank you for having this on UA-cam! You presented it in such a way that I was happy to try it.
I really loved this challenge. I did something every day. Some areas didn’t need it, so I did some unfinished projects took a little longer than 5 minutes, but I got so much accomplished!! I hope to continue the 5 minute declutter daily. Thank you!
Would like help with old Photos .... Please if they people in them are L O N G gone and no names on the back and no other family member want the them so do we just toss them. Should I look at them pay respect and say good bye. I guess i kinda answered my own question?
I made it through to the end!🎉 I will definitely be watching these again in October. I'm on a roll! Thank you for doing these, Cas! 5 mins. here & there throughout the day is making a difference.
You have no idea how sad I am that we won’t have you again next month for a new challenge.
I have truly loved doing this every day, looking at my things in a whole new light.
I had 2 cushions on my couch and was really undecided whether to keep or get rid of. So today I walking into my lounge room, picked up the 2 cushions, and put them in the bin, to go to the dump.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Cass for everything you have done to help me in my decluttering journey.
I was a hoarder that just had clutter around, now I’m proud of my home and even had my best friend into my home on Saturday. I didn’t have fear of visitors because my home was untidy, no it was clean and very tidy, a place that even I can relax now. 🥰
What a difference this has made at my house. I hope to continue 5 minutes/5 things. Thanks, Cass, for the motivation and the ability to truly conquer clutter!
I keep trying to find the video of your favorite cleaning products. Can you direct me? Gosh I love you. Big thank you! ❤
Cas - Thank you for this amazballs 5 minutes a day!
I did it! Yea!
I'm doing it again in October.
This is my first experience in a challenge. It has been awesome!!! Thank you for doing this 🤗
Thank you CA's. Great 30 challenge
Thank you for the time you spent making thees videos its been great.
Idea: I unexpectedly 😭 had to move and now have an entire house to sort of my Parents (items going back 80 years +) and almost every single item is emotional or memory or history. To throw it away feels like undoing what my Mum spent her whole life setting up & making. My own belongings are in storage (=$$) and can’t fit them here until I sort my her belongings & the house. A series on sorting “history and emotional items after loss” would definitely be helpful. How to choose what to keep and how to honour memories but not be weighed down and bawling during the sorting 🥺🤷🏻♀️
Ps. I couldn’t keep up as I’m newly a fulltime carer of my Dad and I’m beyond exhausted, but I (enjoyed) watching every day and it really did start just settling into my brain! Last night I was headed to bed, and as I passed the kitchen counter my brain said “you can remove 5 things” and I did! Tiny step, few minutes only, and it made a visual difference.
Thank you.
I am so envious of how HUGE your garage is.This video really showed how amazing it is! Im gonna miss the daily videos, but I will always keep watching your UA-cam channels and also stuff in the TYHB course. Love you Cas!
I did my 29 days in my closet and now it is all purged and organized for the first time in 10 years. Thank you so much!
Organize your freezer and refrigerator?
More clothes organizing?
Love any of your DIY ideas for holiday decorating.
YES YES YES !!!. I stayed to the end. I was with you every day. I am so going to miss you. But my new mantra is......'AND REPEAT'...... 😂 I feel that I know you and you're my new 'virtual' best friend. Thank you so much Cas. This venture has been such an amazing success!! Sending you love and hugs from Sue.(UK)😘xxxx
This has been an amazing 30 days! I might just be ready for my mom and MiL to visit in 11 days!
Thank you, Cass! This was great, and I really looked forward to the new challenge every day and hearing each hilarious story at the end. I know this was a lot of work for you. I appreciate all you put in to making this series. I’m happy you incorporated Dana K. White’s decluttering method. It has worked for me, and I love seeing others being successful with it as well. You’re “amazeballs” (just to quote one of my fave creators!) ❤❤❤
I've so enjoyed this 30 day declutter!! I didn't miss a day!! Will miss it greatly but it recently dawned on me that I can continue to set aside 5 minutes every day to declutter 5 items...anywhere in the house...any drawer, any room, any closet, even outside the house such as sheds, carport, garage, attic, etc. Thank you for the fun inspiration...I see awesome results!!
Thanks, Cas, for this challenge! It helped me so much! With chronic illness, the 5 minutes/5 things works great! You have found the solution for me.
I cannot believe it, but I did it! Not perfectly, but nearly all of it. That's such an achievement for me. Thank you so much! Starting again tomorrow!
THANKS sooooo much for this challenge. My house looks soo much better. Everyday I look for a five minute gap to declutter another area.🎉❤
I'm taking things to the dump today. Broken furniture and broken plastic containers and a broken vacuum. I've been procrastinating.
Thank you so much!! We moved on August 30th and you've been helping me to declutter as I've unpacked! I did declutter as I was packing, but didn't really know how things would work here and the last 2 weeks were a huge push to leave our old house and I didn't have enough brain power to make so many decisions!!
I'd love to see holiday prep decluttering videos and post holiday decluttering, although we are a family that takes down Christmas after Epiphany, January 6th. We don't put Christmas stuff up before Thanksgiving, either.😊 So it would be nice to feel it's adaptable and not like I just missed out and I don't belong...
One thing I learned through this is about how far you've come in your life, Cas! And it's affected me profoundly! You are truly a rockstar and an inspiration!! I'm so glad I found you 4 years ago and I know I'm going to get this new house into shape soon because of you and with you!! ❤
I didn't follow along every day but I'm going back to watch & follow the replays. I'm starting with this video. Thank you!
Thanks, Cas! It is amazing what can get done in just 5 minutes! I'd love to see some "clean for the holidays without killing yourself" videos.
I look forward to being inspired by your simple, no fuss 5 minute videos. I have worried every day about what to do when the challenge is over. I wish we could keep going.I’ve gotten rid of so much stuff. I need to keep doing this every day. Sometimes I would be so ready for bed and I’d think I gotta do my 5. What can I easily just dump? Then I’d go there and get it done. Amazing! Thank you Cass!
Thank you for this month of do-able 5 min declutter. I finally got rid of some stuff. I still can't believe it. Keep doing this because you are a good motivator and creative person. We need this kind of motivation every day or week You are so down to earth and I like the 'Thank you for staying' part also.
I made it!!!! I'm sad.... what's next month???
going to rewatch these from the beginning --so helpful:) Thanks for making all of these videos, Cas:)
I watched every video but only did a few. It's our busiest holiday season right now plus kids started school for half the month. After the holiday is done, I'll be going back to listen and actually do all the daily 5 minutes. This was amazing
This has been so amazing! Your videos kept me on task and I finished the month! All I can say is more more more! Another calendar with more ideas plus repeat those that creep up (more book days lol) and maybe tackle the guest bedroom or guest bath and media cabinet etc. My garage needs more work! Again, thank you for this series!!!
Thank you for all of this! ❤❤❤
I was wondering, how do you store your decorations? And how to deal with the decorations that just keep accumulating? 😅
I have loved this month of decluttering! Thank you for sharing!
I would like to see more videos on the organizing styles. I still don’t have a clear one I can call me.
Thank you!!
This has been such a great series to be a part of. It took all the pressure off of making every space perfect. Maybe the biggest change for me was mentally. Realizing a little bit every day makes a big difference! Thank you!!

This challenge has been so fun! My husband has joined me, and although we are already "minimalist-lights", there were more layers of the onion left to remove. I imagine that each day we spent a bit more than 5 minutes and removed more than 5 items, but we never did so much that we were in danger of burn-out. And now I feel so much more in touch with my home. I will miss this time. Thank you, Cas. This strategy was the best!
Made it all the way through! Very inspiring! I’m pretty good at keeping the clutter down when it’s just my husband and I, but we have a lot of guests as we live at the beach and I’m always amazed at how much we accumulate when others visit. Time to declutter again!
It was a fun month Cas and Everyone watching these daily challenges very sad to see it end. Will do another replay back to continue again.☺️
My daughter agreed to do the 30 day declutter with me in October. She’s a teacher so September is a tough month to start a new project so I will declutter again with my daughter in October even though we’re 300+ miles apart.
Thank you for doing these videos....AND thank you for leaving the videos open for us to use again when we need your push!
Thank you for helping me declutter 😊❤ I have keep all the videos, so may start all over again for October!
