My father died earlier this year. He was a graphic designer and calligrapher. We have been given an art folder with a lot of his work going back over nearly 80 years. I have just been given it to look through and there is nothing in there that is worthy of being framed and displayed but there are some nice pencil sketches from the 1940's when he was in Art School and some pieces of calligraphy. I am making 'passes over the pile of paper getting rid of bits that are not really worth keeping. I have now ended up with enough of Dads work to put in an A3 pocket presentation folder. This means that his best work will be in a single folder and not as loose pieces as they are now. It can then be passed round the family and be looked at easily without damage and all nicely contained!

I do a policy of "one in and multiple out" because I'm still minimizing my home and don't feel I'm totally in "maintenance mode" yet. But regular decluttering is so important for maintaining a simpler home. I declutter as part of my routine as well as continuing my major minimizing of the house. As you go about laundry, cooking etc., it gets easier to see what can go. I feel I'm nearing the end of the major declutter which is nice. 😊 Hi Kathy! Love the dynamic duo ❤

Interesting to hear and see how much the poorly and cheaply made items are contributing to the landfill pollution problems. So many cheap, plastic items, ( including most clothes) I cannot purchase because of the smell/ off gassing. It smells horrible and it is so toxic. This is so frustrating and sad. I’m just glad to see I’m not the only noticing. These are such motivating videos.
@shannontorrens18 ай бұрын
It really is frustrating and sad. I have noticed just in the last 4 to 7 years this situation is getting way worse. I try to buy quality items and no matter the price or where it is made I am finding things are made to break and "not last". It is very annoying. My mom just had to replace her fridge that was only a few years old because it just stoped working and it would have cost more to fix it. A few months ago I had to replace my 4 year old washing machine because it broke and again there was no way to fix it.

Awesome video... I'm so glad you got your mom to hop aboard the decluttering train! My mom is 5 years older than yours and I've started some decluttering with her too. She's really good with money and doesn't overbuy things so there's not a lot that needs to go but she also doesn't get rid of items that are perfectly good so I encourage her to let go of things that she doesn't need to keep if nobody is using them. We've gone through board games and I want to check the kitchen for expired food next.

You two are great with your decluttering. I declutter every day when I see an item that I know longer need or want. The goodwill is 1 mile down the road from me so there is no excuse for getting my items there. I had two-yard sales this year and I was very pleased that I had sold most. The rest got donated. I need to do my makeup again. Tomorrow is the day! I have decided that I will only buy 1 new Christmas decor this year. Well... I bought an outside new door mat. Not buying anything else for decor. I cleaned out my attic and garage. Feels so good.

Wonderful to see you both, as always. I've recently decluttered and cleaned, always a great feeling. The hardest part is decluttering a nice dress that I spent a lot of money on that still is great quality, but I just don't feel good in; meaning, it's just not me, but is still comfortable. I need to just get rid of it, so I don't go down that rabbit hole with it again....LOL Thank you, ladies.
