Welcome to my latest video on decluttering! In this video, I'm excited to share with you my three-day journey of deep decluttering, where I transformed my cluttered and messy patio and shed into a clean and organized space.
If you're feeling overwhelmed and stressed by clutter in your life, this video is for you! I hope to provide you with some decluttering motivation and inspire you to tackle your own cluttered spaces.
During the three days of decluttering, I got rid of a huge amount of stuff. I found that letting go of things I no longer needed or used was liberating, and it gave me a sense of control and peace of mind. It was amazing to see how much space I could reclaim by letting go of things I didn't need.
The process of decluttering can be daunting, but with the right mindset and approach, it can be a fun and rewarding experience. In this video, I'll share my tips on how to make decluttering easier and more enjoyable.
So, if you're ready to transform your cluttered space into a clean and organized one, join me on this decluttering journey!

I’m so happy to see you carefully cleaned and packed the cake dish before donating! It bothers me when people treat donations like trash. I feel the nicer you present donated items the better chance they will find a new home and stay out of the landfill.

AWESOME!!!💪🙌🙌🙌🙌 Great job!!!! I find screws and nails also difficult, because they are so useful. And craft supply is a hard one. Sometimes the question "how many projects can I do in a year or in my life?" is helpful for me. Or at some point "do I really like it or do I get stressed about it?", because it wants to get used and I don't see myself doing that project I bought it for. I loved your video (you just popped up in my feed today)!!!!!💖💖💖💖💖 Love seeing the process and the success!

Good decluttering job! Dang, woman. You got real and rocked that. I have watched so many of these videos from different people and have never seen the expiration date system before. Love it. Oh, and I think the neighbors need to put up a metal chain link fence on their side to protect the wrecked portion of your fence. Then they fix your fence to original condition. How have they not made it impossible for their dog to destroy your property...REPEATEDLY?! I would be so embarrassed if I was them. Good luck with them!😬

I just keep watching your videos. I still haven’t had much success with my art and craft stuff but have parted with quite a few items of household goods. My large trunk is loaded with things as well as the back seat of my car. Plus I filled two trash bags and the recycling bin. I had the same problem with finding containers for donations and trash. I really like your videos. I feel like it’s real life and not something someone came up with to do another video. Thank you for sharing your journey of decluttering and deep cleaning.

Great job. I usually start with larger items 1st so i feel more accomplished, so good job on sticking to downsizing the nails. If you have a local habitat for humanity they will take all the home project supplies. Mine will actually pick up from peoples home. I have had to clean out 3 homes in the last 10 years, I am so over 😅 clutter. I am never emotionally attached to any items so that was helpful in downsizing my parents home. Sadly they are busy filling their home up again, but i love them.❤ and they are in their 80s and they can do what they want at this point.😂

I'd suggest you add labels to your bins. For the clear ones, write contents on an index card with a sharpie. Then put it in the end. You can read through the plastic. And if you change the contents in the future you can easily change the label. I have one large bin for ALL my paint related stuff- rollers, brushes, paint can key, sand paper.... So I know instantly where it all is. I've also saved small clear plastic jars so all my various hardware items are separated. I store them in a drawer with the bottom side up, so contents are easily visible. Abd I cut the original labels and place them inside, so I can readily see the sizes.

The neighbors dog sounds like he wants to get through your fence. Doesn't sound very friendly. Be careful, Tracy. Well, you did so well out there decluttering! Very proud of you. I am on my way to get rid of screws and small metal things I have had for years now! Byeee🌻

He actually DID bust through years ago before the fence got fixed. The most annoying thing is I hired someone to fix the fence & then after that the dog destroyed it again😤 He’s been banging on the fence to the outside. He’s going to get through one of these days. The association just had that part of the fence fixed throughout the complex & he’s destroying it already 🤦🏽‍♀️… Anyways, happy decluttering!

Great job! Jw, do you need/use all those rusty paint cans?
@TracyAkamine
@TracyAkamine Жыл бұрын
Even though the cans are rusty the paint isn’t old. When my townhouse was painted I had to move everything away from the wall so they got rained on which resulted in rust☹️ I have a couple possible projects in mind for the paint. I’m sure there’s a few cans that could go of course. I’ll reevaluate at a later date. I won’t hold onto them forever though. I don’t really need the shelf space for anything else so I figure it’s not a rush. I have more important areas to tackle first🙂

Always set a dollar amount. For example, if it's less than $5 or maybe $50 (you decide the amount) then say to yourself "I'm not going to keep it for, "just in case." Donate it to a charity to help someone else that needs it now.

I have a mess. I need prayer. I blame it on multiple sclerosis and it maybe attacking the part of my brain that helps with organizing. Regardless I need prayer and help.

I'm in the midst of doing the exact same thing you're doing and I'm getting anxiety watching you make decisions because it's the same anxiety i get when trying to get rid of my stuff.

I think voice overs work better. You lose momentum when you stop and talk. When decluttering is the goal, I wouldn't let the talk stops get in the way. You did a great job!

Thank you! Sometimes I do have to focus & not talk because otherwise I don’t have the stamina.

Anything that has to do with construction and electricity you never ever throw away. Times are getting difficult and if you diy you can use them or barter them.
