Soooo that thing I've tried to sell online for 2 years but hasn't sold I should donate, lol? Looking forward to this ebook, I'm so ready to be rid of clutter. Thanks for being real & direct & even sometimes tough! 😊
Got mine and printed it, I need to be able to carry it with me. I only have clear bags, I also use the extra grocery bags I have to donate to Women's shelter I support.
I just realized I answered these 5 decluttering rules 35 years ago before I signed my divorce papers! 😳 😂😂 Peace can come with purging. Satisfaction can come with simplifying.
I used to be a big clothes buyer/consumer and hoarder. I am a naturally born organized person so my clothes situation bugged the heck out of me. (I also recognize the voice you use "Put it in the bag" I call that voice that I too use, "Sarge in Charge.") I tried a capsule wardrobe SO many times but failed. I was constantly not wearing certain things yet I would buy them again or I was avoiding certain items yet didn't want to de-clutter them UNTIL I decided for 30 days I would write down in a cheap dollar store notebook why I chose to wear what I was wearing each day. After the 30 days it became clear and obvious that I like light weight clothes (doesn't matter the season) no chunky cable knits for me or even sweaters #2 I like clothes with some sort of animation - could be a bright color, v-neck, polka dots or a scoop hem line or something that's animated to me- and the third thing was structure and comfort, it had to be comfortable to wear - meaning no buttons, items that hang or are too slouchy on my body or tight fitting spandex, tugging or pulling at it all day was not tolerable. It had to fit my body and be comfortable. And finally I loved having a ton of variety. I used the container method on this one (thanks for the tip). All 4 seasons (I live in New England U.S.) has to fit in my closet (except for pajamas, project clothes, outside coats or under garments) to stay. As I now shop for clothes I find myself asking if the garment measures up to my now known standards and find myself putting back more then I am buying. During this process my fantasy-self was also identified and left in the dressing room. Please feel free to pass on this method as it may help another with their clothes.
Wow, I feel the same way about clothes! I’m so tall, I’m afraid I’ll never find that particular length again, LOL! Your method makes sense to me! Thanks for sharing!
I love this!! Ive also realized that I almost never reach for my thick pullover sweaters. I wear my light long sleeves to death. If it's cold, I might wear my very light cardigans or a fleece zip up outside under my coat. It's made me realize I have a whole drawer of sweaters I will wear maximum once a year. It's just funny to see someone else say they don't wear sweaters hahaha
@@fayeshultz4069 Glad I gave you a chuckle! I like the look of sweaters but realized they simply don't work for me so I leave them for the other shoppers to use and love.
I use gifting as a way to help my 3 year old go through his toys and clothes. We frame it as “giving to other kids”. Sometimes he will just bring something to me and say he wants to give it to other kids so I put it in the donation box. It’s so great seeing him understanding the concept
This was what really got my child going too. She was hesitating about some toy and I said “You’re never really playing with this but didn’t [friend without much toys] love it the last time she came to visit? Maybe we could ask her dad if we can gift it to her?” My kid was quite mind blown with the idea, even though she knew we already donated all decluttered toys. Something about my proposal made it so much more real to her that other kids could receive and love her old things. Now she loves decluttering!
At the end of every year I think "I'm going to lose a specific amount of weight" while I look at my cluttered house (which makes me sad). This time I'm going to declutter with you and enjoy my home. Thank you 😊
Let your house lose some weight 😉 and before you know how, your whole life and lifestyle will change 😍 I would never said that giving my stuff away will clear my anxiety and non-productivity and "not having time to go for a run"
Elizabeth, consider telling yourself you will eat better foods. Aim for no junk in the house. When I quit having a beverage in the evening, I also stopped craving salty junk food snacks. You can do it. 🙂
I started on this decluttering journey about 9 months ago & the charity I donate to sent me an email saying my first few loads had raised over £200 to help elderly people in the community, that was brilliant motivation to keep going!
@@nancywidows463 To hear it is like Oh but then to say it's like WHOA. These last year and half have completely flown by with Covid taking so much. I've waisted so much of the time I've had when working remotely to continue my cycle - too much stuff, nowhere to put it. I'm done. I have to change. Stuff has to go. I want to love my home. 💜
Cass, don't fret about your subscribers! We are here because we WANT you to shake us up, get in our space, make us move! We know you will bring the right mix of encouragement and conviction to help us get through the obstacles to come! I really love your 5 rules! They will really help me to make some tough decisions. I have much to go through still, even though I've been working on my stuff for 6 years and I've gotten rid of a lot! So forward! March!
I NEED THIS. I'm tired of considering an enjoyable weekend to be cleaning and clearing clutter. It all needs.👏 To. 👏Go. 👏 Cant wait for the next video!
Yesss!! I NEED the Cas wrath. My homes clutter drags me down so much but I've finally got my husband on board with why decluttering is so important to me and my mental health. I can't wait to take my home back and be ready to actually enjoy life!!!
I love that using the word Gifting instead of just give to charity shops, u try to put mine in nice big gift bags if I have any but not thought if transparent bags.. I’m taking that idea also x in the U.K. we have clothes bank set up in my area for people if they have come out of hospital or just in need of good quality clean clothing and I love donating to them as people really need them x
@@lunagabriella213 We can. Just do it. I had to stay for a month at a rehab center for OT & PT bc of multiple falls (need total joint replacement in both knees). After leaving hospital & going by ambulance transport to rehab I had nothing but the clothes on my back; they brought me my choice of multiple clothing items. One piece was a soft beautiful sweater that will always be one of my favorite items of clothing.🤗
I agree so much with the language shift! Especially when I'm helping my parents. I don't want to call their possessions of 50 years "clutter" so I say streamlining. And gifting works much better than donating.
Another great question to ask is “Would I rather spend my time managing this thing or spend my time on something I LOVE doing?!” Freeing yourself from too much stuff frees you with more time! Love all of it!
Oh Cass! I need this. I’m a homeschool mama of mama and I know I need to simplify but feel paralyzed by my lack of time and the mental fatigue. I need this as accountability. I’m excited!! Thank you!!
I look forward to the bootcamp challenge. I moved in to my new apartment and I still have boxes from the move. My living room and kitchen are ok but my bedroom has all the moving boxes and clutter. My bed is not set up yet so I am hoping this bootcamp helps me get my bedroom back.
Amazing! Your outro had me rolling. You know, sometimes I want gentle energy and sometimes I need someone to YELL at me. This is why you and your crew are such a gift. You all bring a different vibe so we can tune into whatever we need that day. Love it!
I LOVE the rules so much! This is awesome! Love love love! And I love the “gifting”! I’ve been wanting to feel the kind and happy part of purging and I love this verbiage! Thank you so much Cas!!! Yay!!!😁
Whenever a client asks me if they should get rid of something, I am just like you, Put In The Bag!! 😂 I love what you said about the trash bags vs gift boxes! I will have to give it a try! Although I really like black trash bags for the purpose of other people living in the home that might all of a sudden decide that that one item is absolutely necessary for their existence! 😂
Also wanted to say a huge thank you, I have undiagnosed ADHD and watching your videos have really helped me to see that I can be organised. I'm work in progress 😃
Yes, this ^ please! Need some rules to figure out how to declutter papers &/or best ways to organize them for each clutterbug type? I think I'm a bee & the struggle is real because papers pile up around the house until I can figure out the perfect system. Tried filing but 'out of sight, out of mind' & I get overwhelmed using the filing system or even struggle determining how to best categorize my various papers. Clothes & paper clutter are tough! So many reasons why I might need it boggle me. I don't know what is really important to keep or not. I'm sentimental about greeting cards, notes, art, school papers I've written, recipes I hope to make, coupons, sayings or peaceful images I want to use for an art collage, health info articles, etc. Help! I also worry about forgetting where my $ has gone so I save receipts & statements for proof I guess or especially for if/when spouse asks. Not sure if all that is really needed for taxes or whatever. Which receipts or statements matter & which don't? How best to really store important papers or cherished cards, etc. so they hold up a long time?
to say to yourself, DONATE worked for me starting yesterday and it was great to hear from you about that word DONATE instead of decluttering's! ITS A MINDSET WORD THAT REALLY MADE THE DIFFERENCE TO ME.Thank you
My favorite term for something leaving my house so I don’t feel bad…..I’m liberating xyz item, so it can be with someone else… and I’m looking forward to you and your coaching style, because the sickening sweet crap that have “shaped” the society we have now is sooo frustrating…so thanks, in advance!❣️❤️
I enjoy very much the respect this channel shows for the belongings of others and the necessity to not live in a state of minimalist and perfection. Our stuff is really not garbage -it may not be working for us but it isn't trash and may be gifted to others.
My house was well under control, but then life happened. I took care of my mom for nearly a year as she battled cancer. I wouldn’t give up those months with her for anything. My house was fairly neglected (dishes, laundry, basics always done-but no decluttering, no organizing, no projects) during that time and I have a lot of decluttering to do now. I’m ready!
I have severe ADHD and spent most of my life trying to be clean/organized. My sister introduced me to this channel and this is the first video I've watched. I feel like I have hope for the very first time in a VERY long time.
I EDIT things. Edit my closet, edit the junk drawer. ____ also when i shop in a store, I even edit my shopping cart. I ask myself, Do i really need this? Do i want to spend money on this today? Do i have something else at home i can use? (to me it sounds better than,decluttering, or putting it back on the shelf.
@@sheilaenglish3293 i like your word clarify....i think of that when making homes for things. When i try to get family to help organize...i get the ughhh & eyeroll. I seem to make out better when i tell them these item needs a permanent home. Thanks for reply! Have a nice weekend.
I love the all day declutter BECAUSE they get me started easy and then you come in with your style to get me that last bit further. It wouldn't be the same without you!
I LOVE the idea of changing "donating" to gifting to the less fortunate. Simple changes like this are proven to help with your mindset. It also really helps you recognize the importance of gifting to those in need
Joining! TBYH has seriously been a big answer to prayer for me. I also feel that the 3 of you model how to work with others instead of letting competition keep you from sharing. Finally, you just need a "sign off" statement at the end of your videos. Decide on your why and state it there. "I'm always here to help you. I'll see you next time." or something that captures your essence.
I've already decluttered my whole house (thanks Marie Kondo, Dawn, Cass, Laura, etc), and I'm relishing the fresh, open sense of freedom that is present in every room of my home. But I'm always on board for more tips, strategies and ideas for dealing with the never-ending barrage of clutter. Can't wait to see what future videos hold.
I am in the Take Your House Back space and LOVE your all day decluttering videos! You've been super inspiring and funny! And touching, too. You made me cry with the craft room declutter video.
YES - my 4yo son and I have been calling it “sharing” since he was 2, when I first started introducing him to the idea of **sharing** the clothes that no longer fit him (he knows that when his belly shows, out it goes 😂) and the toys he no longer wanted to play with with other kids who didn’t have much/any. It has been a wonderful time of imparting good practices, and a blessing and a lesson for me. I struggle to part with things, but helping him to help others has TRULY helped me as well. And btw, he knows who you are and your name, and enjoys your videos as well - ‘cause you’re smart and silly, just like his Momma. ✊🤪😆♥️♥️♥️
@@Clutterbug - I appreciate the reply! 🥰 He was excited to hear from “Miss Cas”(!!) When I told him, he said, “I would like to say, ‘I love you more!’ “ *HUGS*
I’m ready for a bootcamp. I’ve been decluttering a lot in sept because we couldn’t do much for 3 weeks after Hurricane Ida. I just downloaded ebook and realized I’d already done all of week one. 👏🏻👏🏻. Now I’m even more determined to keep going. Thanks Cass
@@michelcristina797 It was a damn fiasco. I will leave it at that!! hahahaaa Gotta be able to laugh at something so crazy. Especially when the insurance companies just shrug. *sigh*
Cas gonna have ya feelin like ur in a bank robbery. “PUT THE LOOT IN THE BAG AND HAND IT OVER!” lol just teasin, Cas. We all need an extra push to deal with some of the tough stuff.
Hi Cas... I've been watching your videos in the last three weeks and I've got to say that you have completely motivated me to declutter my home. It's taken me two weeks but I've finally got to a place where I enjoy opening my cupboards and seeing the organised baskets inside (I'm a ladybug by the way!). I love your tips and advice and am spreading the word to all my friends - thank you! 🥰
Colonel Cas is ready to kick our bums! Bring it, then maybe I’ll actually kick my clutter to the curb. FYI, Little Free Libraries can always use books.
This came at just the right time! This is just what I needed. Thank you! Can’t wait to declutter, haha! This is how you know you are officially an adult!
I downloaded the e-book because I feel I NEED that push to declutter further and I've just realized how far I've come 😯😯😯 because there is literally only 1 thing in the first week that I can declutter, I do not own those things anymore and for that I thank you, Dawn and other amazing UA-camrs 💔 you really changed my whole life ... Year ago I was in terrible terrible anxiety, crying over not having home for the dog I want to save and now, thanks to minimalism I'm going to build a tiny house and everything is solved 😍😍 thank you
Oh my gosh!! I soooo NEED this!! Please help me!! You really hit me hard when you said we have 90 days till 2022!, eye opener!! Really hope I can get this done starting tomorrow! Thank you Cass!🌻
You're awesome!! My husband and I are moving from Michigan to Hawaii in 2 months so we've been selling everything! I've been on a slight minimalist journey over the past few years but still had a TON of stuff. Well, we're getting down to where we're going to move now, 6 suitcases and 6 boxes and that's it! So, I think I'm starting in a different place than your regular viewer but you're fun so I'm going to keep watching!
Hey Cas, we need a couple of organizing & decluttering videos from a man’s point of view or aimed towards men. We have been doing a home renovation (over the past three years) and as each room gets done, I used many of your (and Dawn [Minimal Mom] principles & ideas. And they make so much sense. But not so much for my husband. I have his office, garage & basement on my list for this coming year and it’s a tough sell. He wants them done, but won’t get rid of stuff. Instead, he wants space in the garage to just dump in bins and stack somewhere. Just a thought! Always looking forward to your next video.
I Love it when you get tough - it gets me moving. I play your podcast that are tough over and over when I need the inspiration. You Rock Cas! Can't wait until the next one.
Cas, I paid for the class/Facebook group at the beginning of last year. I haven’t watched the videos. Please, please, yell at me. I know I only have access until the end of the year and I’ve know all along that anti-procrastination is the reason. Please yell at me. If you ever tell my husband I said that, I’ll swear my account was hacked. Also, as the admin for a Facebook-based Buy Nothing group, the gifting mindset really does work. GREAT JOB 👏 👏 👏
Cass- I printed the Boot Camp, booklet, and grabbed a black trash bag. Then went into first bathroom sat on floor and went through the cabinet & check list and filled that black trash bag. Cleaned counters and toilet, scrubbed the tub and was amazed with how clean it looked. Then I went into the 2nd bathroom and did exactly the same. Thanks so very much for your help. My family is even declutching there rooms. 😄
What an obvious yet totally surprising lesson that decluttering and organizing are two different things! That mind shift will help me go about things in a more logical progression. Instead of finding a way to cram all the junk into something, get rid of the real junk first, then organize the smaller amount that’s left. Onward, through the fog!
😂 I always love the after party at the end of your videos! The reality is I’m sure the majority of your subscribers need the tough love and that’s why they’re here (myself included). There’s a place for nice and calm (I love and follow Dawn and Dana as well). Sometimes that’s jus5 not enough we need the tough as well! 😉🥰
Cass I spoke to a house cleaner TODAY and she said, "how can I clean it if you have so much clutter?" Then I come on here and you say the same thing..... I'M ALL IN!!!! I WILL TAKE MY HOUSE BACK.... BRING IT!!!
I love the idea of clear gifting/ donation bags I've often had the thought I was throwing it away in a garbage bag.😊 I now know how and what to do. Appreciate it very much ❤️. Great video series, looking forward to it all!
You are the only one that has helped me get organized.. and your strict rules help me.. I know it's not all or nothing but I've been trying to put the things I'm keeping into catagories..
Cas I love your tough love! I love Dawn & Dana’s methods as well and there are times I need that, but when we hit the end of that All Day Declutter, I needed your tough love to get me through that last room. Thank you for all that you do!

to say to yourself, DONATE worked for me starting yesterday and it was great to hear from you about that word DONATE instead of decluttering's! ITS A MINDSET WORD THAT REALLY MADE THE DIFFERENCE TO ME.Thank you
You're so welcome!
I love the push. I so need pushing. Cause I'm a procrastination queen👸
My favorite term for something leaving my house so I don’t feel bad…..I’m liberating xyz item, so it can be with someone else… and I’m looking forward to you and your coaching style, because the sickening sweet crap that have “shaped” the society we have now is sooo frustrating…so thanks, in advance!❣️❤️
I enjoy very much the respect this channel shows for the belongings of others and the necessity to not live in a state of minimalist and perfection. Our stuff is really not garbage -it may not be working for us but it isn't trash and may be gifted to others.
My house was well under control, but then life happened. I took care of my mom for nearly a year as she battled cancer. I wouldn’t give up those months with her for anything. My house was fairly neglected (dishes, laundry, basics always done-but no decluttering, no organizing, no projects) during that time and I have a lot of decluttering to do now. I’m ready!
You can do it!!
I have severe ADHD and spent most of my life trying to be clean/organized. My sister introduced me to this channel and this is the first video I've watched. I feel like I have hope for the very first time in a VERY long time.
I EDIT things. Edit my closet, edit the junk drawer. ____ also when i shop in a store, I even edit my shopping cart. I ask myself, Do i really need this? Do i want to spend money on this today? Do i have something else at home i can use? (to me it sounds better than,decluttering, or putting it back on the shelf.
You’re right it does sound better. Editing a piece of writing enhances its clarity. Clarify your surroundings by editing your things. I like it!
@@sheilaenglish3293 i like your word clarify....i think of that when making homes for things. When i try to get family to help organize...i get the ughhh & eyeroll. I seem to make out better when i tell them these item needs a permanent home. Thanks for reply! Have a nice weekend.
Love this perspective! Edit. It can only get better!
Love the mindset of Gifting instead of donating!
Brig the energy. That is what I need
Sending you energetic vibes!
I love the all day declutter BECAUSE they get me started easy and then you come in with your style to get me that last bit further. It wouldn't be the same without you!
Don't be nice! Who needs it!!! I enjoyed bootcamp the first time, so hit me with this one! 💕
The clear bags is subconsciously a game changer. Thank you for that!
I LOVE the idea of changing "donating" to gifting to the less fortunate. Simple changes like this are proven to help with your mindset. It also really helps you recognize the importance of gifting to those in need
Joining! TBYH has seriously been a big answer to prayer for me. I also feel that the 3 of you model how to work with others instead of letting competition keep you from sharing. Finally, you just need a "sign off" statement at the end of your videos. Decide on your why and state it there. "I'm always here to help you. I'll see you next time." or something that captures your essence.
Good idea!
Your pushing is what has helped me in the Take Your House Back course. I need it so let's do it 💓 and start 2022 with less stress causing stuff
"I'm hyped to yell at you...why am I finger-gunning?" Oooh, you crack me up.
I've already decluttered my whole house (thanks Marie Kondo, Dawn, Cass, Laura, etc), and I'm relishing the fresh, open sense of freedom that is present in every room of my home. But I'm always on board for more tips, strategies and ideas for dealing with the never-ending barrage of clutter. Can't wait to see what future videos hold.
For many years we could only afford used clothes and items. So giving it to someone is so good!
I am in the Take Your House Back space and LOVE your all day decluttering videos! You've been super inspiring and funny! And touching, too. You made me cry with the craft room declutter video.
Yh !! Thank you 😊 I need some tough love 💕
The 20/20 rule from Dawn helped me a lot. "Could you replace it for 20 Dollars in 20 minutes"
Greetings from Germany 🙂
YES - my 4yo son and I have been calling it “sharing” since he was 2, when I first started introducing him to the idea of **sharing** the clothes that no longer fit him (he knows that when his belly shows, out it goes 😂) and the toys he no longer wanted to play with with other kids who didn’t have much/any. It has been a wonderful time of imparting good practices, and a blessing and a lesson for me. I struggle to part with things, but helping him to help others has TRULY helped me as well.
And btw, he knows who you are and your name, and enjoys your videos as well - ‘cause you’re smart and silly, just like his Momma. ✊🤪😆♥️♥️♥️
Awww, I love that! Tell you son Clutterbug says Hello!
@@Clutterbug - I appreciate the reply! 🥰
He was excited to hear from “Miss Cas”(!!)
When I told him, he said,
“I would like to say, ‘I love you more!’ “
*HUGS*
I love your bootcamp Video
Thank you!
I’m ready for a bootcamp. I’ve been decluttering a lot in sept because we couldn’t do much for 3 weeks after Hurricane Ida. I just downloaded ebook and realized I’d already done all of week one. 👏🏻👏🏻. Now I’m even more determined to keep going. Thanks Cass
Ida survivor here -- WAY TO GO! and WHO DAT!
Poor Saints. So close 🥲🥲🥲. Hope you were safe and didn’t have too much damage 🤞🏻
@@michelcristina797 It was a damn fiasco. I will leave it at that!! hahahaaa Gotta be able to laugh at something so crazy. Especially when the insurance companies just shrug. *sigh*
Cas gonna have ya feelin like ur in a bank robbery. “PUT THE LOOT IN THE BAG AND HAND IT OVER!” lol just teasin, Cas. We all need an extra push to deal with some of the tough stuff.
“I’m hyped. I’m hyped to yell at you”. Yea! I paid a trainer to do the same thing and I reached my fitness goals. Each person needs someone different
I need the tough love, so I appreciate your tenacity! Be yourself. That's why we're here!
Hi Cas... I've been watching your videos in the last three weeks and I've got to say that you have completely motivated me to declutter my home. It's taken me two weeks but I've finally got to a place where I enjoy opening my cupboards and seeing the organised baskets inside (I'm a ladybug by the way!). I love your tips and advice and am spreading the word to all my friends - thank you! 🥰
Yeeees push us Cas!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Cad, don't worry, we wouldn't watch and subscribe if we didn't need and love you. Thanks so much. 😊
Found you by accident. Glad I stayed to the end.
Me too!
Colonel Cas is ready to kick our bums! Bring it, then maybe I’ll actually kick my clutter to the curb. FYI, Little Free Libraries can always use books.
😂😂😂
Yes bring it on!
This came at just the right time! This is just what I needed. Thank you! Can’t wait to declutter, haha! This is how you know you are officially an adult!
Yesss! Yell at me! 😂 my house is officially on the clutter bug diet 😝 too much junk in my trunk (and closet, and spare room, and garage lol)
I downloaded the e-book because I feel I NEED that push to declutter further and I've just realized how far I've come 😯😯😯 because there is literally only 1 thing in the first week that I can declutter, I do not own those things anymore and for that I thank you, Dawn and other amazing UA-camrs 💔 you really changed my whole life ... Year ago I was in terrible terrible anxiety, crying over not having home for the dog I want to save and now, thanks to minimalism I'm going to build a tiny house and everything is solved 😍😍 thank you
Oh my gosh!! I soooo NEED this!! Please help me!! You really hit me hard when you said we have 90 days till 2022!, eye opener!! Really hope I can get this done starting tomorrow! Thank you Cass!🌻
PUT IT IN THE BAG!!!!!!! I love it 😂
Thanks!
Exactly what we need!! Yell away, drill Sargent!!
Will do!
You're awesome!! My husband and I are moving from Michigan to Hawaii in 2 months so we've been selling everything! I've been on a slight minimalist journey over the past few years but still had a TON of stuff. Well, we're getting down to where we're going to move now, 6 suitcases and 6 boxes and that's it! So, I think I'm starting in a different place than your regular viewer but you're fun so I'm going to keep watching!
BRING IT, GIRL!!! LET’S GET TO WORK!!!
Hey Cas, we need a couple of organizing & decluttering videos from a man’s point of view or aimed towards men. We have been doing a home renovation (over the past three years) and as each room gets done, I used many of your (and Dawn [Minimal Mom] principles & ideas. And they make so much sense. But not so much for my husband. I have his office, garage & basement on my list for this coming year and it’s a tough sell. He wants them done, but won’t get rid of stuff. Instead, he wants space in the garage to just dump in bins and stack somewhere. Just a thought! Always looking forward to your next video.
I Love it when you get tough - it gets me moving. I play your podcast that are tough over and over when I need the inspiration. You Rock Cas! Can't wait until the next one.
I'm warned, and I'm hyped LOL : D Bring it on, TI (that's training instructor from boot camp)
I needed this! I need all your videos but ready to be rid of clutter!
I'm so ready. Let's do this!
"PUT IT IN THE BAG!!!" 😆LOVE IT ❤💕♥
Cas, I paid for the class/Facebook group at the beginning of last year. I haven’t watched the videos. Please, please, yell at me. I know I only have access until the end of the year and I’ve know all along that anti-procrastination is the reason. Please yell at me.
If you ever tell my husband I said that, I’ll swear my account was hacked.
Also, as the admin for a Facebook-based Buy Nothing group, the gifting mindset really does work. GREAT JOB 👏 👏 👏
Can't think of anyone I would rather be yelled at by!!! Looking forward to it!
I really connected to the mindset change of donating to gifting! Thank you!
You're welcome!
Cas, your sessions are the best in the all day decluttering!!!
Cass- I printed the Boot Camp, booklet, and grabbed a black trash bag. Then went into first bathroom sat on floor and went through the cabinet & check list and filled that black trash bag. Cleaned counters and toilet, scrubbed the tub and was amazed with how clean it looked.
Then I went into the 2nd bathroom and did exactly the same. Thanks so very much for your help. My family is even declutching there rooms. 😄
I'm ready for the wrath! I'm ready to enjoy my home again. Create good habits and form better mindsets! You're the best!
I need the push to get rid of the excess. Thank you in advance for helping get my house in shape! So glad you have Personal trainer experience.
We love you Cas because you keep it real, and can be pretty darn funny! ❤️
What an obvious yet totally surprising lesson that decluttering and organizing are two different things! That mind shift will help me go about things in a more logical progression. Instead of finding a way to cram all the junk into something, get rid of the real junk first, then organize the smaller amount that’s left. Onward, through the fog!
I think the 'wrath' is exactly what I need, lol
😂 I always love the after party at the end of your videos! The reality is I’m sure the majority of your subscribers need the tough love and that’s why they’re here (myself included). There’s a place for nice and calm (I love and follow Dawn and Dana as well). Sometimes that’s jus5 not enough we need the tough as well! 😉🥰
Only 90 days until 2022! 🙀
I know! So crazy!!
Let's do this and make them count! 💜
Cass I spoke to a house cleaner TODAY and she said, "how can I clean it if you have so much clutter?" Then I come on here and you say the same thing..... I'M ALL IN!!!! I WILL TAKE MY HOUSE BACK.... BRING IT!!!
I could never not like you. You are amazing. Keep doing what you are doing.
Go Cass I personally need that push. It's not that I don't have the motivation It's making the time to declutter.
I love the idea of clear gifting/ donation bags
I've often had the thought I was throwing it away in a garbage bag.😊 I now know how and what to do. Appreciate it very much ❤️. Great video series, looking forward to it all!
You are the only one that has helped me get organized.. and your strict rules help me.. I know it's not all or nothing but I've been trying to put the things I'm keeping into catagories..
So glad I can help!
I say YES!!! If someone needs to declutter, then tough love is what they need.... Thank you for your Declutter Bookcamp eBook... I love it!!!!
Cas I love your tough love! I love Dawn & Dana’s methods as well and there are times I need that, but when we hit the end of that All Day Declutter, I needed your tough love to get me through that last room. Thank you for all that you do!
