Definitely easier to do this in reverse. Start with 31 items when you’re all enthusiastic and your house is overflowing with stuff that you can easily part with. Gradually the number of things you need to find reduces at the same time as the supply of items.
Great idea trying it that way this January I usually try to it twice a year. The second time I decided to cut the days in a bag and pull a random number or day to keep it exciting
@@Bossylady2752 Also a very fun idea. I'm on day 24 now the "classic way" starting to get difficult 🙄 Hopefully I don't get any nick-nacks this Christmas that I'll have to declutter hehe. Trying your style next time 🎅👍
I’ve suggested to my spouse that we do this challenge. I think the most difficult thing would be mustering up the energy after work to go around the house purging.
You don't have to do a specific amount of items. Just do a tiny section or category each week. It may take you longer it doesn't matter. Just remember the goal isn't to get rid of as many things as possible, but rather keep things in your life that are useful to you and that bring you Joy and that are part of who you want to be period you can be content with what you have do not be so wasteful and remember to donate as well
I love this idea of clean out! Don’t feel bad sweetie, about your succulents, I can’t have real plants of any kind! Poor plants shake when I walk by as they know they’re on their way to plant heaven. 😂 Outside plants thrive. Mother Nature is soo much better taking care of plants. I’m going to do your clean out plan!
Haha! Plants are so difficult. My partner is now in charge of keeping them alive. :) I let Tater play with the ball for a few days and then got rid of it when he wasn’t looking. He’s got other, bettet balls to play with. :P
Hi Katy, I loved the video, very clear and useful! About presents, I feel the same as you and when I got rid of two presents that my mother gave to me, she was very upset (I wasn't discreet on getting rid of them...). So I felt guilty for a while but later on I thought "So what? I don't need to keep it just to make happy other people. I need to do whatever is necessary for ME to be happy!". So I understand your concern bby keeping the presents in secret. Keep on!! 👏
Been watching these videos because I am on the final week of mine as well from this February! It has been very challenging, but it definitely needed to be done!
This was fabulous! I would have gone from 31 to 1, once I start I can’t stop throwing things in the rubbish bin! 😂 You did fabulous though, it’s amazing how things add up, isn’t it?!
I said it another video - loved the bed storage in previous and love the couch storage in this video. It is so difficult to find items every day - deeper into the challenge is when you challenge yourself to really look at items around the house.
Wow awesome declutter !! I've only wish you would actually film while tossing in the trash whatever that can't be donated just like most of the clothes you've decluttered. I struggle so much to toss whatever that can't be donated or sold haha :P
@@callmekaty Haha yes I meant them and clothes that would be damaged when I've wished to see going in the trash :P But I will look for the recycling if there's any in my area, maybe I would struggle less to declutter even if it still way harder for me than donating clothes that are still good but didn't wear for too long.
I love this game 😊 But im a extrem minimalism already whit less then 300 items. Soo a little bit hard to do this now-a-days if i don't wanna be nude 😂😂
I’m attempting to do it again right now even though I just decluttered a lot a month ago. Im half way done and am not sure if I can finish. It’s forcing me to make very tough decisions though!
@@callmekaty it's ok to take it easy and slow. Even though I am a extrem minimalism I find things or stuff time to time that I don't use. You don't need to be perfect. You are enough just as you are. But it's good some times to do hard things. Hugs ❤️
It is more wasteful to hold on to things you don’t use than it is to give them to someone who will use them. You waste money by storing things you don’t need (lots of stuff = bigger mortgage/more rent). By practicing living with less you buy less in the future which leads to less waste. :)

Great idea!
I have played the Minimalism Game about 5 times so far. I just play it in a way that I need to get rid of the 496 items in one month. I
I'm just on day two, so I'm definitely switching to that idea 💡👍

You could change the challenge to something like “purge 500 items in one month” or “125 items each week/weekend”. :)
If I have extra motivation I track how many items “ahead” I am to keep on track
Decluttering gives me energy😂

Oh, your doggie is the cutest dog I’ve seen on utube! Seriously! Hopefully, your dog got to keep the ball! Loved the way your dog asked to keep it! 🐶🥰

I can not keep my aloe plants alive! And yours are multiplying. Oh my.. How are you doing that
Same 😂 I’m so glad I’m not the only one
I loved the shirt or blouse thingy you threw away! 😄 You've got a great vibe, immediately subscribed! 🤗
This is so interesting, to see what people get rid of in this challenge, great video! 😀

Doggie said keep the ball you keep it haha very cute
I love your dog. So cute!
New subbie here really enjoyed that you showed all the items you discarded or donated
Thanks for subscribing! :)
Yay! Great to see you back on YT! It's been aaaages! ♥
It really has! 💛

I honestly don't think I have 400+ things to get rid of.
I watched you 4 years ago, surprised I found you again ...
Yay! Glad you found me again :)
New sub here. Great job! I’m doing the challenge this month. Wish me luck I make it all the way through
Thanks for subscribing!! Let me know how it goes :)
FYI the hanger you got rid of at 2:48 is actually a throw or blanket hanger. You must have purchased a throw (or several) at some point.
You have sparked a memory! It did come with a throw :)
It‘s great to see you again! Grettings from Germany! ☺️👍🏼
yay another German :)
Hi! 💛
How do you not have a hundred thousand subscribers yet! 🤯
Hahaha, I would die. Maybe if I post more than once a year the count will go up 😂
Wow awesome declutter !! I've only wish you would actually film while tossing in the trash whatever that can't be donated just like most of the clothes you've decluttered. I struggle so much to toss whatever that can't be donated or sold haha :P
I donated or sold all of the clothes (except underwear of course!) You can also recycle fabric/clothing that is not worthy of donation.
@@callmekaty Haha yes I meant them and clothes that would be damaged when I've wished to see going in the trash :P But I will look for the recycling if there's any in my area, maybe I would struggle less to declutter even if it still way harder for me than donating clothes that are still good but didn't wear for too long.
So inspiring
Great video!
Good job Katy :)
Cool
I would never take rid of my candles :O that was painful to watch. I would have taken them from you :P
Well done katy
What do you use for dishes instead of a sponge?
A dish cloth. I switch it out for a fresh one every day :)
Yay you're back!!! UwU
💛💛
Holy moly your aloe :o
Succulents love me because I'm good at neglecting hahahhahs
I love this game 😊

I wonder how much of that stuff is actual trash.

This seems so wasteful :(.

Cleaning is wasteful? Yet u watched the video. You must be a hoarder. Yuck 😝
