Clutter collects so easily that I must do regularly scheduled decluttering sessions to keep things in check. I''ll probably to do something like this ever 3 to 6 months to keep things minimal!!

Samson is literally like "mom! Declutter this cone! Mom! I want to declutter this cone! I'm helping! This cone can go bye!" 🤣 Isn't it crazy how quickly the extra stuff piles up? Especially packaging and paper! They're little and just get lost, then when it's gone it feels so clean and organized! 💞

Have you ever considered a “no buy year” you don’t have to do a whole year.. but I like to do little no buy sessions.. it makes it really obvious what to declutter after a no buy session, because it forces you to use what’s in your life already and come face to face with what you actually love and use and what you think you need but never actually use.

My daughter gifted me with all of my photos organized in albums and all photos digitalized for my birthday! I definitely appreciate all of her hard work! I am now 💯 decluttered and am on maintenance mode! Enjoy your holiday! So glad Samson is on the mend and feeling better!

I LOVE how you count items. I do the same thing. The more I get rid of, the less stuff my kids will have to declutter one day.

Love your decluttering videos! I totally support counting each individual item no matter how small. I keep a log of everything i declutter throughout the year so i can look back at my progress. 657 for 2022 so far 😅

I am EXACTLY the same way! I am going through my clothes right now and I always keep stuff that has holes or stains because I think I will just wear them around the house. And I will keep wearing them until I literally throw them out. LOL

I find you very personable, relatable, and likeable. I "comfort watch" your videos. And your judgmental dog is hilarious. Keep up the good work.

This is inspiring. Thank you. Love to see someone closer to my age (aka not 19) on KZfaq and living life at home realistically (aka not in a beige McMansion).

Always keep candles because when the grid goes down we'll need our candles. Candles are not only due light. You can use them to cook ...😊💗✌️

I used to get upset with myself when I ruined a fairly decent item of clothing by getting paint on it 😕; now, however, I've learned to retain a couple of pieces that are soiled with paint or oil stains so that I can continue wearing them whenever I'm working on dirty projects around the house or in my garden...Since I work as a librarian, I don't usually have "junk clothing", so once something becomes soiled, I try to just wash it and re-wear it whenever I do have to tackle a dirty job or two. Since I am now on Summer Break, I usually take the time to going through my home and throw out or re-gift items that I know I'll never use or that no longer bring me joy 😁. I tackled a good bit in my home in The States last summer AND will work on my home here in Qatar this summer. One area I already identified as requiring work is my fragrance collection. As the school year progresses, I'll open up several petite bottles of perfume because I like keeping a bottle inside my purse for periodic "refreshing" throughout the day. However, I might not completely finish off the bottle before I open up another one 😕. I tend to get bored with one fragrance and open a new fragrance before I even finished up with the first, so now I have several bottles of nearly finished perfumes which I aim to use up by spraying the pillows, chair/sofa cushions, and draperies. I also have quite the collection of hotel toiletries from my various trips, so I started packing up gift bags for local women's shelters. It's amazing at how much stuff I can accumulate even though I try to live as minimally as possible 😕.

Hey Carla, that was really satisfying to watch, it's amazing how things pile up so quickly - I'm sorry Samson hasn't been well but he does look cute in his collar and it hasn't stopped him supervising 🐶😉

I have a jar problem, i mean collection, too. Lol. I try to use them for storage as much as possible.

50 ways to leave your clutter ... Love it

I try to purge trash immediately. I feel relaxed having a tidy home. I have a trash can in every room and a recycle bin readily available.

Oh yesssss. Samples. LOL. Like you, I really need a written inventory. It helps me *see* what I have and then I would physically scratch through it. But, I realized how many samples I had and the goal was to use them up first. Nearly cut my inventory down by a third.

Waiting for your kitchen makeover part 2!✌️

✨💃🏾✨Hey Carla. You did that pretty quickly. I need to rewatch & do some decluttering myself. 🤣😂🤣 It was relaxing watching you though. Hugs and much love.✨💃🏾✨

It’s so good your doing declutter challenge. I know you can do it and I believe in you.

That was a real clean out from this real world!! Thank you for showing a simple way to keep on top of day to day clutter. Brilliant

I love your decluttering videos!! They have inspired me to do more. I started decluttering a year ago February.

Awesome job. Totally inspiring. I just have to put my mind to this tomorrow. It's surprising how quickly things add up. Thanks for sharing. Love the color of your new dress.

I really liked that you even counted the I Voted sticker. Clutter doesn’t have to be huge or emotional!

So great to watch how well u do at decluttering. Wish I could go as fast as u. Love ur videos.

Will do it this week, thanks Carla 😊.

This was really good. I have been decluttering too. I think I’m going to do my kitchen today. Thanks for the motivation.

Omg Baby Carla 🥹 too cute! Amazing how fast clutter builds up. You should keep the onesie, you can wear it next time you paint 🎨

I'm pumped to do this now! 💪

Well done to you for this declutter. I consider it one of the best gateways to becoming disciplined and unfazed by marketing tricks. The lightness that you feel will become too addicting to go back to adding on to the things that you have decluttered from. Also love how brutal you are with what you throw out! 👌

You are amazing, thank you for the inspiration. I love your puppy soooo much!!

Love this! I found your channel last week and I’ve been binge watching. I recently put together two more boxes for donation, now I’m curious and will have to count the items. Thanks for the inspiration. Lety from Chicago❤

Think I could declutter 100 or more items and then maybe do the 50 once a month after. I am also guilty of keeping boxes with boxes inside of boxes and idk why. Great video for a long weekend project. Thanks for the inspiration.

A great way to show how to start on an path of minimizing or release items that aren’t being used

Im so proud of you! I actually cleaned some space in my kitchen 2 days ago and I was thinking "Carla would love this!"

So inspiring, now I just need to pry my butt off this couch 😆 hope your pupper feels better soon, so adorable!😍

I don't have time to do any bigger decluttering project at the moment, but I certainly could have a go at finding 50 things to get rid of this week. I am encouraged that it only took you something like 40 minutes, too. Thanks for giving me a little bit of inspiration here, Carla!

Thank you 🙏 You’ve got me going through my apartment 😊

I love your transparency and progression. 🙏🏽

That was cool, fun to watch, awesome declutter! Ahhhh big healing hugs Samson darling.

Nicely done! Every little bit counts. Also, you were adorable ❤️

Great video,so satisfying. It shows you have been using skincare🥰 I love your organization

That was so awesome. I never realized how much I really can get rid of.

I have a very similar jewellery organiser! Makes it so much easier to see what you have and what you like 😊

Great job..... excellent finds. Didnt seem like much but once it was all on the sofa it really was a considerable amount. Plus it focused you to gather your returns, helped you find another little sample pot that you liked, made you look at your jar collection and feel good and you found a little bracelet and sunglasses for your niece 🤗🤗🤗 This 40 mins yielded a lot.... well done 👍🏻

I so enjoyed this (and pretty ALL your vid videos) video and it inspired me. I went through my entry way table and threw away so much trash and stuff I didn’t even know was on the entry way table. Because that’s where we keep the dog leashes I went through all our dog items and threw away all the dirty, torn, frayed dog toys that should not be donated or reused; cleaned and reorganized the dog items into a pretty basket and shook out their crate covers. Such gratifying work!! Thanks for the inspo, lady!

Hello! I enjoy your videos and watching your progress. I set up systems for my clutter struggle areas. The systems really help me to keep the accumulation under control.

Hi Carla - hope Sampson‘s ear infection is healing up. Poor baby! But it didn’t stop him from supervising! I liked how you put it - “getting reacquainted with our stuff”. A lot of times we don’t see what’s in front of us. I’m going to take an hour tomorrow and gather 50 things. Thanks for the inspo! 🌷

Hi Carla, l have decide l really needed to declutter my bedroom closet.Thanks for the encouragement, l needed it. Be blessed.

Yes!! Holding onto boxes. Love this doing a 31 day challenge now.

Great motivation!

Sooooo satisfying 😃

Thanx for the motivation I am not gonna do the whole house but gonna do the linen closet

Thank you so much for the inspriation! Gonna find some items to say goodbye to right now!

Thank you for this! Husband goes out of town next weekend and that’s the only time I get anything done! I can’t wait. Lol thanks for the inspiration!

I collect the same kinds of things as you do! Good job!

I’m very inspired now, except it’s nearly time for bed. I will do this in the morning

Love the sound of this challenge, I am inspired to do the same 💞

You make me so human ❤

Great decluttering video!!❤️

aw man I can Listen to your voice all day

Over the last year I decluttered so much stuff from our house. We moved in December of 2021 and I went through everything. I still need to go through more stuff. My husband and I are in our early 60’s and it’s amazing how much stuff you accumulate over just a short period of time.

You did a great job! I am not the problem, it's my husband. I have to sneak old magazines out otherwise he won't let them go. He never notices the pile never gets bigger.

This inspired me so much, thank you for sharing. I'm trying to achieve that "light feeling" that happens from decluttering, too!

One of the things that has REALLY helped me in watching your videos (aside from the dopamine boost that IS Samson, poor baby) is getting back to a feeling of PRIDE in how very much I have accomplished, mostly by myself, these last six months. I've had a few people over, and it has helped me. I now limit my time to under an hour so I don't screw up my nervous system. I'm getting much better at managing output and input so I can carve out some cognitive function time. It is somewhat returning to me, after a year of pretty massive shut-down. I am a brain injury survivor with a side of chronic fatigue etc. I am so proud of myself for NOT GIVING UP, even when I feel pretty stuck and hopeless. PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION. I CAN SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING AND IT IS GOOD! ❤❤❤🎉❤❤❤ Have a beautiful day, whatever you are up to. This is an old video. You're so good at editing and providing a gentle, joyful, hilarious space in which to NOD OUR HEADS and say MMM-HMMMMMMMM. ETC. BE WELL, EVERYONE.

Girl, I'm just thinking if only you knew how cozy your home is going to look in a year from now!

The best Agatha Christie book- hope you enjoyed it ☺️ great work as always!

Thanks for the motivation. I needed it. I like your wooden desk organizer.

I love this so much. Usually declutter videos are those speed videos and i need specifics and ideas slower

Sometimes when you go through stuff it’s like why did I hold onto this lol I also love glass jars I keep every pickle and lotion jar I can find lol

Over the last year or two I've done a big declutter like you have-it's shocking sometimes to do a run through and still have bags/boxes of stuff to declutter--does clutter breed/multiple when we aren't looking???? 😂

This inspired me to do the same… I decluttered 50 items from my closet EASILY. There will be more to come. Thanks!

Love this video! I'm so inspired to do my own 50 item declutter!

Oooh , I love your Dog 🤩

I have an issue with letting go of books.I absolutely love to read and books.

What do you say there?! I *can not* declutter myself during your video! I *have to watch* and not miss a minute!! 😁

One of my New year's resolutions was to declutter 2022 items and I did it. 😁 I thought great job I'm done, but no I find more clutter all the time, I bet I could find 50 items now if I looked. 🧐

I lol'ed at the lid of a broken jar that you kept until now 😅 so familiar!

Girrrrrrl!!!!!! I have trash can EVERYWHERE. I also have mugs that I use for tiny trash like cotton balls etc in places I use them.

This was great, I loved it. You got rid of a lot, it’s crazy the amount we can get rid of even if it’s just trash.

Scanning documents, paperwork, etc and then shedding has been a big issue for myself. I've been decluttering clothes but like I have a hard time getting rid of them also. I'm always thinking I'll loose the weight to fit them again. I'm horrible when it comes to dieting and follow though. Anywho you make decluttering look so easy I'll admit I'm a little envious.

I decided to do the 25 item declutter challenge this morning. I got 54 items within an hour. I was so surprised. And I feel so good about it. I feel really motivated now

inspiring, motivating to do it too, thanks ;)

I literally started one of these yesterday….and carried on today …it feels good these smaller declutter so less stressful and feel so tidy and more organised afterwards🤗 I have now though decided to scan lots of old photos so i can get rid of old photo albums…that will take a little more time😂🤣😉🙋🏻‍♀️🇬🇧💕jane

Awww you were so beautiful, even way back when! I have a similar one with my baby pic in it.

Samson when you open the casetify box 🤩 and at the top of the stairs 🤣

yes! i did a mini declutter yesterday. only two small items: one cabinet in the bathroom and one set of drawers in the office. did not even get rid of much, maybe 10 items max, and moved some stuff around. already makes a big difference, physically as well as mentally. i don't have that much clutter, my house is tiny, but my closet and jewelry definitely needs some attention but is a bigger task to i am collecting small victories to get some courage. mostly i think whats keeping me form doing it is i need to find somewhere to donate or sell stuff. i cannot bear to just throw clothes and jewery out

Flylady recommends a Declutter Fling Boogie where you put on a song like Please Release Me Let Me Go, and Fling all the clutter stuff into a bag to toss or donate. Her book is called Sink Reflections. Good read! She has videos too. Clutter is stuff that gets in the way of fun!

I'm on the East coast watching this video in bed this 4th of July morning -- great motivation! This is what I have to do today! Liberate myself from more clutter as I prepare for an upcoming move! PS - I love my jar collection too, and it also makes me happy! 🙂

You are smart to speak in a soothing and calm voice over with breaks of music. I can't tell you how jarring it is to have someone speed yell and then play hokey ass repetitive cartoon songs!

Ticket to ride is such a great board game

every time you say Samson it reminds me of the 80s film Class Reunion 😊. Hi from London and love your videos ❤

I found 25 things to get rid of in the small area i was working in. They were all neatly stored but were basically clutter. 25 more to go!

Cute puppy☺️

DID IT! 50 items today (mostly magazines) It went super fast to do this.

This was just what I needed. You inspired me to get rid of over 60 things. If you do another one, I bet I could easily get rid of 50 more. Now I just need to get them out of my possession 😅

Good job

Great job beautiful!!! Poor baby Soo handsome as always.

I keep only a “few” jars to make jam in the fall, or pickled onions. I make overnight vegan oats for me and hubz or chia soygurt. If the jar is not completely clean and has its perfect lid, it’s off to recycle heaven…

What do you use to store your paper documents that you can't just scan? Loving all your content can't wait til the next video ❤️

Yay 😃❤️
