I love watching other minimalists continue to declutter because that's where I'm at. Just started the game for March and excited to see what the house feels like at the end!

I did the minimalist game in Jan (I do every year), then I did a full house declutter through April, but I’m now doing the minimalist game again and it’s so hard on this end as I already decluttered 1000+ items the start of this year. I always do it backwards though starting at 31, as it’s so much easier on the first days to find so much! I love it Also for the products, use them up but count them into the total anyway! You’ll get rid of them when you’re done anyway :)

Great job! It is hard to play this game if you are already deep into your minimalism journey. But you did it! Yay!

I really like your channel, you’ve become one of my favorite minimalist channels after watching just a few videos. Your thought processes have been the MOST helpful to me out of everyone on youtube. You have concrete examples rather than nebulous ideas or just nice thoughts. You are very sure of what you’re doing. Especially your video on how to make organization work - it’s all about removing resistance to putting things back in their place. I’ve ignored 30-day minimalism game videos in the past but this one is what made it click for me. It works because you are forced to look for your LEAST favorite items and give them up, no mather how small. For tiny objects I usually think “it doesn’t really have an impact” or “eh, I’ll get it in the next big declutter.” This method totally removes any last creative excuse to keep the item. For example I have the Nooni Marshmallow Whip Maker. It just makes your face cleanser foamy. I have used it maybe 3 times. It’s fun, but at the end of the day I’m just not willing to pull it out of the cabinet and whip my liquid cleanser up for a whole minute (and I prefer powder cleansers anyway). I’ve kept this thing for 1.5 years and figured “Why should I get rid of it? It’s not hurting me. Plus it’s super cute and I might use it again one day. It shows my great taste in cute things.” I became blind to this object and didn’t think twice bringing it with me when I moved. Yesterday, September 1, I finally decluttered it! I told myself it’s only $7, I can buy it again if I really want it. But chances are I will never remember to buy it again. I’m following this game for September! Thank you so much.

When I have one tshirt, I am not driving 20 minutes to the Goodwill donation center. I am throwing it in the trash. Come find me and lecture me. LOL.

I started this 5 days ago and it’s so hard bc I’ve been a minimalist and zero waste for 8yrs. I am going through my car, garage, patio and basement to hopefully make it through. I have that same little doggo beating heart, the stuffed puppy is long gone but I can’t part with the heart yet lol ❤️✌🏼

another way of doing this challenge is picking a random number each day and marking off that day within the 30, so maybe on day 1 you would do 27, day 19 you could do 3, so then you can leave the smaller amounts for days you are more busy

Shoes should definitely be counted as pairs (2 shoes = 1 item), and pieces of paper should just be a a stack of papers = 1. A little OCD to count each individual scrap of paper. Digital/email is also stretching it. My pit mix wasn't introduced to a hair dryer, a vacuum, fireworks outside on the 4th - he plays with the hair dryer and vacuum and slept through fireworks. If you had kids, they would be helicopter parented and need therapy later from their germ free environment. Relax. The home looks sterile and lacks warmth. Not cozy. Add a plant.

Love the honesty!

You did a fabalous job with already having a minimalist life style. I have done this game 8 times. The last time was maybe 2 years ago. I could probably do it again soon, but i don't know if i could finish the game. There are still 2 areas with too much stuff - clothes and paper. Two difficult areas for me. Clothes are difficult because they cost money and i would want some money back for some of them and paper because i love to write down stuff, plus i think that i would need some of those important papers.

Thanks for sharing 🌻

I kept rewinding to see if I missed the emoji but great job as always! As a minimalist myself I find the last 5-10% in the house very hard to part with even though it often nags in the back of my mind.

Haner?

Thank god for all the doggy stuff to declutter otherwise eeeeeek. I hope I can get to the stage of not finding anything to declutter

Day 13??

The bowls had lead?!! How do you know?
