I really like to watch your KonMari journey. I've also read the book and what helps me most are the folding techniques. Now I can see the whole content of my drawers at one glance and I don't "forget" things that I own because they are buried under my other clothes. I am really bad at letting things go. So going through all of my clothes only once and getting rid of all the things I didn't like didn't work for me. Now I declutter my drawers every season and think about what I liked and what I didn't like (and why!). As I am giving away more than I buy, the amount of clothes I own gets smaller and smaller and it gets easier for me to let things go. Now I own less than a quarter of the things I used to own two years ago. And it feels great :)
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words! :) I also love the folding technique for the exact same reason that you mentioned! It is so great being able to open up my closet now and to be able to see everything, because 1) I don't forget about things I own, and 2) I feel like I am showing more gratitude and appreciation for the things I own, because they are all visible and on display. I talk a little about that in my next video (the companion video to this one) as well. I am also extremely sentimental and bad at letting things go! Even ordinary "everyday" items are hard for me to let go of sometimes, because I somehow am able to make anything seem sentimental. I absolutely think that I will be decluttering again as well! It sounds like you have a really great system going for you! Thank you for sharing some thoughts about your journey, I loved hearing from you! :)
Thank you so much for your comment! I appreciate your encouragement a lot and am so glad that you enjoyed the video! :) Thank you so much for watching and leaving such a nice comment!
Love this video! I like your question about if you would buy what you have again in the store, I want to try that in my next declutter and see what happens. Also as you grow your sources of joy will change; I found that even months after I did my first KonMari declutter I was able to get rid of almost 50+ more things from my wardrobe even when it seemed I didn't have a lot left. My feelings toward my wardrobe definitely evolved and differed over time after beginning my minimalist journey :)
Yes, that question as well as several others really helped me as I was decluttering! It was hard for me sometimes to feel whether or not an item "sparked joy," so I had several other key questions I would ask to help myself out :) I like what you said about going back and decluttering again, and I definitely think that I will be doing the same. I think you are completely right that feelings evolve, and I also think that our ability to determine what we truly love or not sharpens over time! Thank you so much for your comment and for sharing your thoughts! I love hearing about other people's experiences!
I think you did a great job! Well done! I have done the clothes and I need to do the shoes. It is a lot of work but so worth it! Keep up the good work!
This video was so helpful, thank you! I am also reading the book and need to do this in my own closet. I appreciate that you not only asked yourself if a piece sparked joy, but also if it was something that you would want to buy and if it will help you achieve your desired lifestyle. Great job! :)
Tell me about YOUR decluttering experiences! I would love to hear :) I decluttered my closet yesterday using the KonMari method, and I wanted to share my journey. I will be making another video sharing some more details on my thoughts and the steps I took, but I hope this was interesting. I was really shocked at how much clothes I had (some even over 10 years old), and although I still do not have what I would consider a minimal wardrobe, I felt like this was a step in the right direction, and I can honestly say that everything I kept really does make me happy! Isn't that what life is really all about anyways, finding happiness? :)
Hi there - I am now a Subbie. I recently cleared out some things that don't fit or I have had for a long time. I have about 8 pairs of jeans that I wear every day. I wouldn't say they bring me joy- but I do need them. When summer comes and I take those clothes down from the attic I will definitely purge some of those too. Now I have to get my boyfriend on board! My kitty does the same thing - if I just take things off my bookshelf to dust it she hops right on! I must say you are beautiful - you seem like a nice person as well. Your channel name shows you are also humble and that is very nice to see. Looking forward to more videos. :-)
Completely unrelated, but you are the blonde twin of Amy Adams, and you sound like her too! Now back to my original point, you did a good job, I was encouraged to uncluttered my closet, keep up the good work.
Wow! Your wardrobe is tiny compared to mine. I have clothes in like five places and I really need to organize them again. Great vid, music was a bit distracting but your on your way to a neater lifestyle! Keep up the good work!
I love your videos. I have been trying hard to declutter, I have to I can be a hoarder and I have been in that situation so I have to watch myself. I have watched so many videos of people living out of back packs.I never will be able t do that and in reality I have no need to but I have to keep myself in check. I have like 65 clothes items which I love. I used to at one time have 200 so I have improved lol I try to get rid of at least 2 trashbags full of stuff a month, household and clothing. I have to.and also not bring stuff in to replace it. I like the hippie/boho style so my house looks lived in I cant live in a sterile environment and 3 pairs of pants and 3 shirts. It works for some people but some people it doesnt. I think it is about moderation. My big thing now is my art and crafts supplies I have to organize it. I have one side of my bedroom cluttered and yes it does effect me,so that my priority to de clutter. I just feel bad I cant get my stuff down to a at least a carload,but like I said I dont have to. I do move alot so it is to my best interest to get rid of alot but still have enough to be happy and balanced.
Thank you so much for sharing part of your decluttering experience with me, I really enjoyed reading about your experience, and I am so glad that you enjoy my videos! I probably have about 200 pieces of clothing now! Haha. I haven't counted them though, but I love what you wrote about being mindful also about bringing new things in in addition to what you are decluttering! I think that is so important! I feel the same as you- living out of a backpack though it seems like a wonderful and exciting adventure, doesn't feel necessary or sustainable to ME at this point in my life. It is beautiful how minimalism can be so individualized, and how each person practicing minimalism can still preserve their own style- I love it! Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and for watching and commenting!
I also ask if it's useful, and how many I need. For example, I brew my own kombucha, so I have a lot of glass bottles to put it in, and I need those. However, I have too many, so I am going to upcycle the extras by using them to create a grass barrier in my yard around my new grape vine, by burying the bottles halfway in a circle around the plant.
I am so glad that you enjoyed the video! Have you used the KonMari method of decluttering as well? Thank you so much for watching and for leaving a comment, I really appreciate it :)
So glad that you discovered my channel! Thank you so much for your sweet comment, for watching and for subscribing! It means a lot and I really appreciate it! :)
I'm so glad that you liked the video! Have you decluttered using the KonMari way before as well? I always love hearing people's experiences/opinions. Thank you so much for watching, leaving such a nice comment, and for subscribing! I so appreciate that! :)
Embracing Average you are só sweet thanks, i read the konmari book and loved it, slowly have been using it at home, my wardrobe looks amazing...kisses from Portugal
HELLO EVERYONE! I posted a video explaining the KonMari steps in more detail as well as sharing some helpful tips for steps to take BEFORE beginning the decluttering here ua-cam.com/video/xOhJTbBLAm4/v-deo.html
Ok .. Now I'm embarrassed!.. All the clothes u put on your bed.. Is how much I SAVED AFTER I. decluttered😕.. I'm American, so I will admit, Americans have ridiculous amounts duplicate & useless things we think we need (I had 7 spatulas, really?) .. Ok maybe its universal.. Lol
Haha, I definitely think owning duplicates and useless things is universal! I have the same problem often! I actually have more clothes to go through stored at my parents house though, and this time around I ended up keeping quite a bit of clothes as well, but I would rather hang on to a little bit too much and then declutter again later than to find that I really regret getting rid of something, or that in the rush of things I decluttered something really useful! :) I'm trying to just focus on happiness through this entire process, and it really is such an individual journey for each person, so no matter how many items we still own, if we are moving towards becoming happier and living lighter- I'd call that a success! Thank you so much for watching and for your comment, it made me smile :)

This is so inspiring. I've been watching other clearouts since I started doing mine too.
Oh I love how clean and clear your bedroom is, we had white bedding till we had a baby! lol! Changed to some grey/white/pale teal now
seeing your kitty sparked joy for me!
I love that! Haha. Glad he made you happy- He absolutely sparks joy for me too:) Thanks for watching and for your comment!

Your room is so so amazing ❤
XD the angle at the beginning made me feel like you woke me up to tell me you are decluttering. Cool video :)
The little Mr Meaw is more of a joy! Sending my love....what do you call this little bundle of joy?I have a similar one.....
great job .. very inspirational. About how long did it take?
Well done. looking forward to more
Thank you so much, I appreciate your encouragement! :)
Aw, at least one or more kitties to help declutter is a good thing! It is nearing rwo years since this declutter -- are you maintining it as well?
you're super pretty by the way :) thanks for sharing your experience!
You are too nice, thank you for your kind words!
Do you remember where you got the white shelf with the black drawers? Ive been looking for one of those :)
Awesome video....you did great! Thank you :)
I also ask if it's useful, and how many I need. For example, I brew my own kombucha, so I have a lot of glass bottles to put it in, and I need those.

Your room is lovely
