    WhoooooHoooooo! I do every single thing you went through. A couple of them we just completed doing, yet again. As getting rid of extra mugs, and icky potholders were just done. Proud of me because I was ot always like this but at 78, soon to be 79 and the invariable 80 too quickly coming up I notice that I need things simplified, and nice, even if I am a very healthy and energetic senior. Love the tips.

      You’re absolutely right-these tips can be helpful for anyone looking to simplify and organize their kitchen! While the video is tailored to seniors, focusing on ease, safety, and practicality, the principles apply universally.
      Thank you for pointing that out-it’s great to know these suggestions resonate beyond the intended audience. Organization and simplicity truly are for everyone! 😊

    I save some plastic for leftovers to bring to someone else or they make great plant starter pots. I have also donated these to church meals for the leftovers. Old kitchen towels that are worn I use for rags or for camping.

    • @EvergreenSeniors-n4o
      @EvergreenSeniors-n4o  16 днів тому +2

      That’s such a fantastic and thoughtful way to repurpose plastic! Using them for plant starter pots and donating for church meals is a wonderful way to give back and reduce waste. Thank you for sharing your creative and kind approach!

    I got rid of my nonstick pans because they are TOXIC. I now use stainless steel, cast iron, & enamel-coated pans. That made a lot more room in my cupboards!

    • @EvergreenSeniors-n4o
      @EvergreenSeniors-n4o  13 днів тому

      Thank you for sharing your experience-it sounds like you’ve made some wonderful choices for both your health and your kitchen space! Stainless steel, cast iron, and enamel-coated pans are fantastic alternatives to nonstick cookware, and it’s great to hear how much room you’ve freed up by making the switch.
      Your approach is such a smart way to prioritize both safety and functionality in the kitchen. I’m sure your insight will inspire others in our community to consider healthier and more durable cookware options. Thank you for sharing your journey with us! 🌟
      Wishing you many happy and healthy meals in your beautifully decluttered kitchen! 🍳

    I go through the items you mentioned every once in a while. It is hard to throw things away that are useful. I have two cabinets in the garage full of glass jars - I live in California, so every once in a while they get cleaned out by an earthquake, same with mugs. But who wants my old junk? The Good Will here had a big bin outside & they were throwing EVERYTHING in it, even breakables. The clothing was going to be sold to vendors for $1 a pound & the rest was going to stuff furniture. None of it was actually going into the store. A garage sale is too much for me. I need to find a good place for my donations where people will actually benefit from the items.

    • @EvergreenSeniors-n4o
      @EvergreenSeniors-n4o  13 днів тому +1

      Thank you for sharing your thoughtful approach to decluttering! It’s wonderful that you take the time to sort through your items, even though it’s challenging to part with things that still have potential use. And wow-living in California certainly adds an unpredictable helper to the decluttering process with those earthquakes!
      I completely understand your concern about wanting your donations to truly benefit others. Some great alternatives to traditional donation spots like Goodwill might include:
      Local Shelters or Nonprofits: Many homeless or domestic violence shelters appreciate kitchen items, clothing, and other household goods.
      Community Buy Nothing Groups: These are fantastic for giving items directly to neighbors who can use them.
      Schools or Art Programs: Glass jars can often be repurposed for crafts or storage in classrooms.
      Food Banks or Religious Centers: Some may accept items like mugs or gently used clothing for families in need.
      It’s heartwarming to see how much thought you put into ensuring your items are given a second life in the hands of someone who can truly use them. Thank you for inspiring us to be more mindful in our decluttering journey! 🌟

    • @EvergreenSeniors-n4o
      @EvergreenSeniors-n4o  11 днів тому

      That’s such a smart and practical approach! Skipping holiday or seasonal-themed items definitely helps keep the kitchen clutter under control. And it sounds like you’re already ahead of the game by planning to refresh your potholders-having a dependable set makes all the difference in a functional kitchen.

      Absolutely-labeling frozen food is such a smart habit! It makes it so much easier to keep track of what’s fresh and avoid wasting anything. A quick label with the date and contents can save so much time and hassle later.

      That’s such a fun way to enjoy your coffee mugs! Rotating them keeps things fresh and allows you to appreciate each one-it’s like a mini collection you get to use and enjoy every day. The goal of decluttering isn’t about letting go of what you love; it’s about making sure everything in your space brings you joy, and it sounds like your coffee mugs do just that! ☕😊

    I cannot figure out how you guys come on with such list. Every household has its own people with all of them having different needs. I feel you are making a list based on who knows what. I have different things I might not need, but who cares. It is my house and I resent you people saying what I need to keep and what I should get rid of. Look for something to write about.

      @EvergreenSeniors-n4o  13 днів тому

This list is simply meant to offer ideas and inspiration, not hard-and-fast rules. It’s all about encouraging people to take a fresh look at their spaces and decide what feels right for them.
      I completely respect that your home reflects your needs, preferences, and memories, and I’d never suggest otherwise. These videos aim to spark ideas and provide a starting point for those looking to simplify, but at the end of the day, it’s always your choice what stays and what goes.
