So, I don’t know if this is proven, but there’s a theory that paper & book accumulation may be a sign that their family history includes deep appreciation of the written word. It doesn’t help with the clutter, but it may come from a good place. That’s what I tell myself lol.
That’s so interesting - I’m definitely overcompensating for the lack of written records in my family. I don’t even have photos of whole people 🥺 so my descendants will get these Trader Joe’s receipts and therapy notes by FORCE!
i paused at the first body double section to take care of something very simple that i've been putting off for 6 months (well, technically for more like 6 years but that's another story 👀). thanks Evelyn!
i've watched and rewatched your decluttering videos a truly embarrassing amount of times so i'm so excited to see another one!!! Adulthood is being excited to watch a random person on the internet declutter their papers and try not to throw away something important that pertains to their identity lmaoo
I was passively listening to u while I did the dishes, and when I heard u say “beginning” at 22:59 i instinctively said “beninging” under my breath and then a few sec later you screamed it back at me 😂 same brain cell
I'm so prud of you. I'm literally smiling and laughing along while watching in my room HEAPED in clutter. I'm terrified and tired to start my own but I'll begin in an hour or so...
each of your videos is such a joy and a comfort. knowing people i admire struggle with the same things is so reassuring! maybe i am a real adult after all 😳
I opened my mail with youuuuu! I got an appointment… for NEXT YEAR! They really be sending me an appointment an entire year from now!!😂😂😂 It’s ok I put it in my calendar with alerts, because I’m grown!!!
I’m enjoying your declutter journey. As someone who LOVES organization, it’s fun to watch others go down the rabbit hole of how much stuff they actually have and how to “reorganize” it 😜. Anywhozulbees, a paper shredder is not only efficient but therapeutic; also makes great packing cushions. Can’t wait to see the skeletons hiding in that closet!💀🩻🫣😂
Hi Evelyn! For all incoming papers (receipts, mail, documents, etc) you could try placing them in a shallow paper tray. It could be a colorful paper tray so it can catch your attention. But the important thing is to put in a visible spot. I go over my paperwork weekly and that has helped me a lot. Hope that helps!
The jazz and paper ripping! And asmr *chefs kiss* My paper organizing tricks: I open my mail outside my apartment or at the door. Anything that is useless gets chucked the second i walk in. I leave the important ones by my computer If theres paper i want to save for whatever reason or may need later. I take a picture and throw away thats future me’s problem to deal with the digital clutter.
This was wonderfully chaotic. My best advice for paper is to leave things that need to be addressed in a somewhat triggering location for you (I leave things that I need for upcoming appointments by the front door on a little table, I leave bills that need to be addressed on my coffee table because these are places I like to look neat and tidy and the clutter forces me to take action so I can get back my clean surface. Good luck with that closet!! 😂😂
I buy post cards from places that I visit too. I use them as decor. I have little frames that I have them displayed in. I keep my extra postcards in an old photo album. *(feels old)* I switch out the postcards every once in a while. Im loving this decluttering series. Thanks for sharing the journey with us!
Some places like ups/kinkos/staples offer paper shredding services in case you've got documents you want to get rid of that have sensitive info. There's also some libraries or town trash/recycling services that offer this.
As a fellow ADHD-er and member of the neurospicy gang, I APPROVE this message!! The "ben-ING-GING" be a false start frl. Gotta cut straight to the root of the problem! Congrats to you for figuring out your own systems and strategies for decluttering. You makin me wanna * GULP * go through my room closet, which is currently full to the brim with music equipment :') MORE POWA TO YA 💓
I’m in the process of cleaning out a large closet in my house that I’ve lived in for 17 years. Going through paper was super time consuming, but necessary because I found so much with personal information that needed to be shredded. Also I had books from undergrad and grad school that I never opened again. I found two landline phones. I honestly feel like I’m being set free with each bag of clutter I throw out. Your videos have been therapeutic and serve as confirmation that I’m doing the right thing. Thank you, Evelyn.
Tip paper tips that were a game changer for me was a) used catalog choice to get off an many mailing lists as possible; if something came in and I didn't want it, I immediately added the information to the site. the difference is especially notable during the holidays. b) This is the real deal- every day I get mail, I trash. shred, or act on THAT DAY. Even if it means you set a calendar reminder to pay a bill x amount on a certain day, that paper then gets ripped up and is gone from your life. Then about once a year I go though my important docs and switch out new info for old info (ex- home/ car insurance) and ever few years I go though the sentimental/ deep storage paper work (some things become no longer relevant like old manuals or I become less attached too, like certain paper mementos).
I recently decluttered a few huge, heavy bags full of papers; diary entries, receipts, sticky notes with movie reccomendations 😩 names of books, shows, movies, songs that ppl gave me… old pieces of art, scribbles, paintings, business cards, newspapers… it can be quite nostalgic & depressing, but freeing to let these go.
I forgot Evelyn from the internets isn’t the channel I’ve always watched you on! I was thinking I’ve been watching way longer than 7 years. You’re still my favorite after all these years!!
I love listening to these videos while im doing mindless tasks at work. It low keys feel like a podcast. We love you, Evelyn :) keep pursuing your dreams!
Just stated watching and can I say I'm so proud of you, keeping stuff decluttered. If anyone needs an idea on how to store important papers you need to keep, let me share. Get a zip up binder with sleeve inserts. Birth certificates, insurance documents, warranty for large appliances can all go in here. Each family member gets their own section. This way if something happens and you have minutes to grab and go, boom it's there. Going to watch the rest now. ❤
This video is so relatable!!! I moved in February and I'm still going through old mail and old papers. Some of it was old paper from my old apartment,some of it is mail, and some of it is important stuff that I really dont wanna throw away🥴🥴🥴🥴
hey evelyn, do you have a productivity system? like what do you use to balance various tasks and projects as someone who works for themselves/at home? edit: other cousins - if y'all got systems you can suggest, please do? i need the help lol
Yes! Most important thing to accept is that productivity systems should be flexible and can change according to your needs. So in 2020 I needed a bullet journal and Trello/Asana. In 2022 I needed a virtual assistant who could talk me through things. These days I just use a white board, GCal, and a handwritten to do list. So step 1: brain dump everything you want to do Step 2: write down every single step involved as a separate task Step 3: determine how long it takes to complete each task. You can take a week to track your time for hard data. Step 4: you can now place tasks on the calendar/project management service according to how long it’ll take. This take a while to do. Step 5: execute and readjust if your initial predictions were way off. Step 6: understand life is about constantly readjusting it literally never ends. Step 7: be intentional about how you acknowledge/celebrate completing things or else you’ll feel like a workhorse Good luck! 💞✨
I thought it was only me! I have a love-hate relationship with paper. I have note paper, sticky notes, construction paper, scrap paper every where in my room and at work 😩 And I get mad at myself when its time to clean and I dont wanna throw it away.
@@tgtgtgtgtgtgtgthat's true about the recycling, instead you can put it in the compost bin! it's probably different in the u.s., but in australia we have a green bin for food waste and organics. perhaps you guys have community compost bins 🤔
I think you'd probably love The House of Found Objects in Birmingham, if youre looking for kitschy little hang out spots. Its an elaborately decorated cocktail lounge/small puppet theater.
In regards to Birmingham, AL, if you find yourself near The Summit and in the mood for Mediterranean food. Try the Olive Branch, It's family owned and they make they're own falafel every morning. So delicious, always spreading the word about that place. My credentials: i grew up there
Just found your channel. I love your personality, and while I so wasn't planning to do anything productive this morning, I instead also went through my random paper stuff. So thank you for the body double!
So many funny moments in video and I loved your explanation on not having processes and habits to support items you bring into your space. I would tape the gift cards up on a wall, somewhere I can look at when I think about things I want do.
When you come to Birmingham I highly recommend June and Last Call! It's a coffee shop and bakery that do fantastic bakes and coffee. You have to go early before Last Call sells out though. Slutty Vegan and Melt are also good places for burgers! Vulcan park is nice for a picnic and for sightseeing, and the botanical gardens are also nice to walk around for when you want to be in some nature lol. But it will be hot af in August!
Speaking of sheet protectors, I have a binder that has those sheet protectors for (baseball/Pokemon) trading cards and filled it up with gift cards. And keep that in my car at all times so a. It's not cluttering my wallet/bedroom and b. It's with me when I'm about and about a store.. now have I actually used it much in practice is another thing 😅
I struggle with decluttering papers and mail. I like looking through catalogues (well, some of them), I like having physical menus from my go-to takeout spots, and I hold onto receipts, even if I bought the item in 2019. Even the junk mail I'm bad about not just immediately throwing it in the trash.
paper decluttering is hell. congrats on making it through 🎉can you use the small black boxes for the stickers and gift cards? the singing and giggling- mint😂 tucking the hoodie behind your ears, diabolical 😅😅😅
oooh this was so good for body-doubling! please let us see your closet declutter and bookshelf declutter when you're ready. i'm just a little worried about your shelf getting tilted over bc there's more weight on top than on the bottom. it's happened to me before lol
I got a sticker book from TikTok and it’s been the best thing for me when it came to organizing. I had a pile of sticker but didn’t have a permanent place for them. Sticker books allows me to “store” them but know they won’t lose their stick so if I ever find a permanent place I still have that option.
i love postcards bc theyre like cheaper art prints with memories from trips. i havent framed them yet but i do have them up so i can see them while i wfh lol i also use them as bookmarkers
Yessssss for the ‘NO’ on 5 subject notebooks…. Who is doing that? That’s not right, anyhow, anywhen, anywhere…. Ewwww gross! Great Work Evelyn… this was completely relaxing and traumatising at the same time… 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Not, the corporate merch catalogues and circling…… that’s where you break out the special pack of highlighters reserved for choosing the next adventure! 😊
Thank you for some real talk and discussing figuring out a process. You just articulated all the things that go through my brain. We all have the dream of TEH Holy Item.

you make decluttering FUN and the way you explain things is relatable as hell 💖
"I be out here trying." You be out here SUCCEEDING! It's been so cool following your creative journey over the years!
I reduce papers as much as possible. I recently decluttered my clothing and now I have clothing that works for me and my sensory needs. Aye

hey evelyn, do you have a productivity system? like what do you use to balance various tasks and projects as someone who works for themselves/at home?
edit: other cousins - if y'all got systems you can suggest, please do? i need the help lol
Yes! Most important thing to accept is that productivity systems should be flexible and can change according to your needs. So in 2020 I needed a bullet journal and Trello/Asana. In 2022 I needed a virtual assistant who could talk me through things. These days I just use a white board, GCal, and a handwritten to do list.
So step 1: brain dump everything you want to do
Step 2: write down every single step involved as a separate task
Step 3: determine how long it takes to complete each task. You can take a week to track your time for hard data.
Step 4: you can now place tasks on the calendar/project management service according to how long it’ll take. This take a while to do.
Step 5: execute and readjust if your initial predictions were way off.
Step 6: understand life is about constantly readjusting it literally never ends.
