    For 25 years I was a retail store manager. And many of those years was clothing. I never let anybody overstuff the racks because customers couldn’t look thru the clothing if there wasn’t at least 6 inches to move the clothes along to see the next garment. And I hate stores that overstuff. I wish they wouldn’t do that. They’d sell more if people could look thru things easier 😊

      Absolutely true. If I cannot slide the hanger to look at a piece of clothing I will not make the effort to take off rack, look at it and then squeeze it back in. I will just leave and find a store that values their customers. So thank you for your approach.

      I had district managers (who never worked in stores but had business degrees ) come into my stores and tell me I needed to put more things on the rack so they would sell. Meanwhile, my sales were better than other stores. And you couldn’t tell them anything because they knew it all. Lol.

I'm binge watching/listening to a bunch of your videos today while I clean and declutter.

    Loved your concept of 'friction'. Years ago when my kids were young, I closed my eyes and walked thru my day and made a note of anything that made me feel anxious, then brainstormed solutions. The biggest anxiety trigger was 4:00 and nothing planned for dinner. Meal planning was the answer. 'Friction points' can be both physical (junk in the way) or mental (no plan).

    Honestly, my husband and I are handling this now. We rent a 100+ year old home that our landlord refuses to remodel. It's very cute and rustic but it wasn't designed for function and there's SO much wasted space. We are working on moving out and donating anything that doesn't need to come. I've quickly learned that it's not necessarily the size of the house, but it's functionality of my home.

    I don’t t iron my clothes before putting them in the cupboard. I only STEAM the piece I am going to wear - it usually takes under 1 minute, dresses maybe two to three minutes, if they are long… The hand held steamer is small, practical and I don’t need to pull out an ironing board etc.

I was upset for maybe a day and wondering if I gave anything away that I still wanted (we went right afterwards and donated them), but now, I can't even tell you what I donated! 😅🤷‍♀️ And I still need to declutter more!

    Friction! Didn't know the name for it but it has been my biggest motivator. One day I was making my husband's shake like always, and realized that I had to traverse the entire kitchen to get to my shake supplies. I said to myself that I needed to move those things to where I make my shakes. It was causing me Friction . Several cupboard changes later, while decluttering,I now have a more useful layout to my kitchen. The biggest bonus was the pots and pans that were in the cupboard where I wanted my shake supplies. The new place where they got moved to actually makes easier access to them. They fit the new spot so much better. All this because of the Friction of having to traverse my kitchen. I also learned that just because you set your kitchen up one way doesn't mean that is the only way.

    This course is the best anti-shame money you can ever spend. And when the year is up, and your house hasn't changed, renew for only 10 bucks forever! It keeps decluttering in the foreground for me even if I'm just watching other people do it. Some places look a lot better, esp the all day declutter when for the whole day I only got one closet done but these are my people mostly. I didnt know of Cas till the class as I joined because of Dawn, but Cas is the best and fun cheerleader! Join. Best antidepressant and anti-shame pill ever.

      The sausage casing comment made me laugh out loud! I relate to that!!! And I am very overwhelmed… I’ve been very ill for many years. Trying to do a few things in the moments I’m feeling I’m ok-ish is not enough for keeping up with just daily activities. Getting out of pyjamas? Lofty goal, if I also hope to make a simple meal. Clean or declutter? It must be done, but how??? I used to be a runner and weightlifter, and had a highly active job and travelled Europe and… and… and… I’m not old. I just got sick. I’m laying here wondering how to get the energy to get up and it is so hard to know where to start. I occasionally come here and feel so inspired, and then look around me and it’s so hard to know where to even start because I know it’s impossible to catch up and/or keep up. But giving up is not an option, and I’d rather keep getting inspired, prodded, and kicked in the butt to keep trying than quitting. :)
      I relate so much with Cas in that I’m an absolute “Clutterbug” in methodology and thought process, she’s SO funny, and I love her channel!!

    Yes! I am a huge fan of painting rooms white to reflect the maximum amount of daylight. Especially living in Wales where it rains most days, every bit of natural (or artificial) light is precious! My new place was painted entirely landlord beige when I moved in. It was warm, but dark and dingy, and it sucked the colour out of everything. Just lifting the walls to white and putting in some daylight bulbs makes the place feel so much brighter, friendlier and alive. Then in the evenings I can use warm-tinted side lamps to make it feel just as cosy as it ever did.

    Go to the gym when you are already on the road after taking the kids to school or before you go grocery shopping in the morning! You will buy healthier stuff after working out. And you will have more energy for the rest of the day because you have already been to the gym. Plus the gym is less crowded and you can use the sauna to relax. Shower at the gym and you don't have to shower at home. This saves electricity (=money!!!) at home. When you come home put the sweaty clothes and towels in the washer and fresh clothes and towels in the gym bag at once!

    I remember reading/hearing about how some times you need to do something important (like study) but first you feel the need to clean up and get everything tidy before you can even start that. Because your mind needs to calmness to be able to do that and not be distracted. After learning that, I always say to myself, ok if I want to accomplish *this* I need to pave the way first by cleaning/decluttering first!

    My house has so much friction right now. Too many dishes and too much clothing in particular. I love cooking but I’m afraid of getting rid of excess cookware.
    Maybe I need to put big event appliances and seasonal things in the basement. Like my giant roasting pans and food dehydrator. I won’t need that, likely, for a few months. That can free up a lot of breathing room in my kitchen.
    I’m down sizing clothes right now as I listen. I’m sick of several baskets of unfolded clean laundry hidden in several rooms.

It's been a week since I am back and finding no motivation to unpack and organize all the things back in to cupboards. I just started watching your video and after 2 mins watching I instantly felt motivated to get up and clean. You are amazing. the way to make people feel comfortable and relax about how messy and unorganized and lazy they are, like who we are and then motivate to change their situation is great!. You are great! I wish you a lot of success and peace

    Calling it "friction" is so accurate!
    If you put your "wrinkle clothes on".. after half an hour, your body warmth irons out the wrinkles👍😉... I don't iron anything except formal wear! Eg for a wedding etc... I probably iron 1x yr max... I have one small waredrobe. All my seasonal clothes are in it. Plus boxes of clothes for different sizes (my weight goes up and down with depression).
    I love decluttering.. this weekend.. cleaning, decluttering, paperwork organisation... I have drinks and films/you tube on in the background..perfect.
    I love walks at our local park to calm me😊.

    Oh my gosh, you made me laugh with your closet clean out! I wish you were here to do mine with me because I feel like it might actually be fun!
    We just sold our house that we lived in for 19 years. Whatever could go into storage until we find a new house, did. The rest had to come with us to our small cabin (which was already full) where we're living temporarily. The entire downstairs is full of boxes, suitcases, and general stuff, with only small, narrow pathways to get to the bathroom and washing machine. Ugggg!!
    I had a bit of a mental breakdown because of the clutter and chaos, so this video was perfect for me right now.
    I love you too pieces and thank you for always making me laugh. XOXO ❤️ 🥰

    Decisions are a major source of friction for me.
    If I need to decide what to do or give myself the option to skip it, I tend to let distractions detour me.

    I put a dustpan, brush and ice cream container next to my woodwork project and found myself even sanding straight into the container. Just this last week I’ve found I’m starting to intuitively tidy any time I go from one room to another and doing some tidies at night. I’m feeling like my teenage tidy/organisation habits are coming back after living with a hoarder for 30 odd years. Just having the right furniture/organisation stuff around me is getting me back on track. I can’t thank Cass and Dana enough for changing my mindset after half a lifetime of insanity which I couldn’t do anything about because it wasn’t my clutter. So far it hasn’t translated into actual cleaning (except dishes) but getting tidying in order first is paving the way to cleaning.
