    Also be sure to allow enough time! Start decluttering and you will find a ton of dust. I never declutter without a Swiffer and a vacuum cleaner close at hand. The bigger the project, the more time you need. Do your homework in advance-like Googling the hours of the donation center you’re planning to bring your stuff to, so all those items don’t ride around in the car with you for the next month. 😀

    Great video! I declutter all the time. Just part of my daily routines around the house. For me it is calming when I do my laundry, I check through what is in the closet before I add the clean clothes to see if I need to donate some of the stuff that was not dirty. I do it in the bathroom, bedroom, closets and pantry as I access those areas. Just a few minutes to check and feel accomplished!

    Yes my donations are in a box, in the closet, ready to go. However, I only take mine once a year now. Sometimes I even find a way to regift something in the box so I don't rush to take it in to the donation place. As long as I take it once a year, then I am happy.

Everywhere else was good, but I can close my bedroom door and no one is the wiser to the horrors inside. 😅 It really helped to divide and conquer, to have someone to bounce ideas off of and just to have some company!

    I would really struggle with the last one tho. I like to be in charge of decluttering & organising & could never have anyone telling me what to do.
    The one about not buying containers etc until you’ve decluttered /organised is a great tip. So many times I’ve been tempted to buy stuff from Amazon & John Lewis etc & then realised that the stuff I may not even fit them.

      I keep a folding laundry tote in my closet, so that if I see something I know I won't wear again, or put something on that doesn't fit well, or looks bad, I take it off, and immediately put it into that tote. When the tote is full, off to the donation center it goes. We keep a box in the hall closet for household stuff, and do the same thing. Except right now, it's overflowing. 🤦🏼‍♀️

    What you said about striving for perfection... so true. I have an appreciation for the IKEA catalogs. They often stage the rooms in their ads with toys strewn about, food half-eaten, towel draped here or there. Trying to make it look more reminiscent of life rather than a picture perfect moment. I mean, it is still gorgeous, just easier to picture oneself living in the space.

    Thank you for this video. I recently went to clean out and organize under the bathroom sink(which is tiny) I seen there was a very bad leak rotting dry wall. Plumbers came and fixed it. It took 2 weeks to complete! Now they are done I am not motivated to put the stuff back. I bought organization bins I don't know why I feel stuck.

    • @1Lightdancer

      Have you decided what you want to/ need to store under there? Maybe set up those items in the container on a counter, and great it out first?
      One fun Simple (Feng) Shui tip is put salt in a small bowl (sea salt if you can) and leave 24 hours to refresh the energy in an area - then dump the salt outside (on the ground our in the trash!) Within 24 hours.

Now…about that stuff in the closet…I’ll give my husband a box of stuff for Goodwill and he puts it in the garage until he’s ready to take it. My task now is to encourage him to take it right to the car. Once he gets it in the car he gets it to the donation center.

    Oo, donation pile put away. That is me 🤦‍♀️ lol! I've since brought them out so they are "more ready" haha!
    Also, for decluttering, I'd say, give yourself emotional time. Sometimes we're not ready to let go, so put it in a pending box and revisit it. This helps me to not get bogged down with the maybes and instead focus on the definitely no items (or trash haha!)
    Happy organizing/decluttering!

    When I open a drawer or cabinet or closet, and it’s a bit messy (cluttered), I take care of it right then. Five mins for a drawer, 5-10 mins for each shelf of a linen closet, 10 mins for a clothes closet. It’s not a major overhaul , but a tidying up.

    I wish you would do a video that expands on your last point. When is it time to hire a professional, and if you do, what should you expect. Just like any profession there are good ones and not so good ones. It's pretty easy to be overwhelmed by the whole thing. If you hire a professional, what is a realistic budget you should have when you hire someone? Will they help you if you want to sell your clutter in a yard sale? Maybe I watched too many episodes of Clean House but a Niecey Nash sure seems like they would help. Maybe you have done this video and I am missing it.

    For non-perishable foods, consider food pantries.
