The second I get rid of something I never use...I have a reason shortly thereafter to use it. ☠️

Yes! My stress goes wayyyyyyyy down when I don't have so many things in my space.

I got rid of half of my stuff in 2019 and only missed one single item, a book. I repurchased it for 10 bucks. My house is so easy to clean & maintain now.

I will concur, too much stuff is stressful. I just donated 14 large bags of stuff from my overflowing sewing room. It's so nice to walk in there now.

I was drowning in our old house. There was so much clutter that I could never seem to get the house clean no matter how much time I spent every day cleaning. When we moved, we decluttered a LOT. I feel like I regained my sanity. Everything has a place now and if it doesn't have a permanent place yet, it will shortly. All I have is one box left to find places for the things or get rid of them and then I get to move on to organizing things a little better. I feel like once I organize everything, our home will finally reach homeostasis for the first time in years.

As a new Mom of 2 in a house that's feeling too small, I totally feel that my stress is tied to the amount of stuff we have!

Oh I have a saying kind of like that! “Just cuz you can afford, doesn’t mean you should buy it”.

Within days of throwing away another unidentified object in my junk drawer I finally realize that it was the missing piece of the blender (or some other household appliance) that I’d been either searching for or had no idea was missing.

I rage/stress purge frequentl and have a donate bit at the bottom of my cupboard. I'm now on a massive mission to get rid of as many things as possible. Baby nr 5 is on the way and this momma needs a clear head and home for it.

Chandelier in your closet? Classy!

Verses that helped me declutter today: “Life does not consist in the abundance of things” (Luke 12:15) and “God is not a God of disorder but of peace” (1 Corinthians 14:33). ❤

I've watched a one minute video about decluttering and now I want a pink toaster... aaaaaah - help!

"A woman's stress level is directly correlated to the amount of stuff she has." Wow! Mind blown!!

Well, I don't know if the stress/stuff level thing is scientific, but it is very true for me! My stress levels are much higher when I have too much stuff. And when there is not enough room to 'shove and hide', things pile up outside the cupboards. Never thought I would get to the point where tidying and cleaning is enjoyable, lol. One thing I noticed was also, the 'prettier' the cupboard is when I open it, the less stressed/the more joy. And the more you want to keep it that way. You would think that a space behind a closet door wouldn't need to be pretty - but just knowing it decreases stress as well. :)

All I noticed was that little vacuum! I need it!

A plumbing disaster had me renovating my kitchen, more or less. Renovating my kitchen meant discovering a lot of stuff that I absolutely do not need. I've had stuff in my old pantry that I never used once I neatly put them away. So this gave me a chance to really purge and by extension, start purging stuff from the rest of the house as well!

Okay that last statement just slapped me in the face 😭🫶

I’ll tell you what my mental health needs: that toaster.

I just decluttered about 4 large moving boxes worth of stuff out of my home office, and it felt so good. I have room to keep out in the open all of the stuff I actually use. Most people make the mistake of starting by putting things into boxes/bins and putting those on the shelves first. My tip is to take everything out of a space and put back the stuff you use the most first, then you'll reach a point where you run out of room or start realizing you don't really use/need certain things.

You just helped me get rid of alot of stuff.Been holding onto everyone else's stuff,not anymore.Thank You less Stress sounds Great!

Ma'am, you look so good in those "comfies" 😂❤ wasnt at all what i was imagining with the name. That's goals lol

First job I got over the summer i was 14, made just over $1000 and used it all to buy household things for my bedroom, it was ao cluttered in there... The next year I made my peace with the waste of money and donated almost all of it. It was 100% worth it to feel like I could breathe in my space and keep an easy mental lid on all of the stuff I owned. I've been a minimalist ever since and regularly purge belongings

The most honest,straightforward advice I've heard. Simple and on point. Thank you

I have so many things, and my stress level is really high. I get overwhelmed when I try to declutter because I like my things, but I know I need to get rid of it.

if I had the space you have....what a HUGE house

That last statement hits hard. Hoping i can seriously declutter this year.

That Stress Level fact is Truth. 📈And I ain’t got time for that.

I always say clutter in your home correlates with mind clutter aka stress level.

I have the opposite problem. My flat has next to no storage especially in the kitchen (one counter top, two cupboards and zero drawers) so just because I don't have a conventional place to store it doesn't mean I don't need it (otherwise I'd have no cutlery)

Yes yesssssss take everything out, clean it, only put back what you need. Toss the rest or donate. ❤

No junk..no stress😊 Life is simple don't complicate.

Okay I love the organizer that slides.

With clothing If I did not wear it last season I probably will not wear it this season. Now that does not mean I throw out my raincoat because I didn't have to go out in the rain. But If I have an unusable pair of shoes(they hurt my feet or are not in style for what I bought them for)they go to second hand store if they are relatively new or trash if they have staining. same with other items. If I bought a plant pot that did not get used second hand store broken trash. The only clothes I keep no matter what is Funeral wear. Those shoes and clothes may never be worn for years at a time. I keep a brushed velvet floor length skirt and a cream colored blouse for funerals and 2 dresses for viewings so I do not have to wear the same thing the next day. I have 2 pairs of Black knit cotton pants, 2 colored pairs of pants also knit cotton and 2 t-shirts that match(I use my Cricut to make t-shirts) 2 pairs of Yoga type pants without pockets and 2 pairs of French Terry cotton pants with French Terry sweat shirts that match and 2 French Terry sweat shirts that match other colors in my wardrobe That my Sister-in-law bought me. I have 5 pairs of Pajamas from Suzanne Charles of England(best jammies all cotton). At thus point all of my clothes are about 2 years old because our house had a gas explosion that could have easily killed us all but my husband and I and our dog all git out alive. I spent 36 hours in the burn unit and my husband spent another day before he was released our dog was sent to animal control then my husband's boss got him out for us and took him to his brother's kennel. he had to turn right around and go back to get him from his brother so I could have him back. Because he went to animal control with no shot records(he did have his Rabies Tag on his collar) they gave him every kind of shot and preventative they could which made him sick so we had a sick dog on top of every thing else. Our Vet gives him his shots in cycle because he gets sick when they give him everything at once and the animal control had no choice because they got him very early in the morning of the fire so they could not contact his Vet. We are all healed and Insurance was really great. People keep your insurance paid! You have NO IDEA how much replacements might cost house car and all clothing.

???? HOW CAN I PURCHASE THOSE WHITE VERTICAL CABINET STORAGE THAT YOU CAN PULL OUT, in this video???

This hit hard. 😢😅😮

Not true because during the pandemic shutdown when we couldn't shop much I started organizing my cabinets and closets and shopped at my own house... haha! I was surprised at all the useful stuff I had bought in the past but didn't know how to put it to good use! Everyone else must have had the same idea because when I did get to the store most of the organization stuff was gone!

The chandelier! 😍

Wow my trust levels must be through the roof then. I love throwing away stuff

Woman speaking facts! Subscribed ❤

I do love the pink toaster, but I think my husband and sons would object.

I was going to buy the same pink plaid shirt you have on. Then I thought, "I have 7 plaid shirts, that's enough." You look nice in it.

Woah the stress level and stuff she has got me!

My best tip containers do not help only downsizing

It's better to have extra space than not enough space.

Great information 👍 yes it's hard

Getting over the “I’ll need it when I toss it” is my atm road block 😩

I love the medicine shelf!

Hello, liked the video. May I have a link for the storage rack?...it was a bottle storage item. Thanks

Hi, I love your personality! It makes me really happy

Those children deserved better. My heart hurts for them. I hope they can rest in peace.

Where’s that little vacuum from? And where’re those sliding skinny storage organizers from?

I have a rule for stuff I’m holding onto that isn’t sentimental, holiday decor, or something. If I haven’t touched or used that item in at least 2 years, it needs a new home or be thrown away.

Is that item worth your mental health? Love this question. Thanks 🙏🏼

Where did you get the pull out spice rack?

My apartment looked so nice before I got all this stuff. I can't wait to declutter and then reward myself with making my space more homie with decor.

Where can I get the pull out medicine rack?

EVERY WORD YOU SAID IS SO TRUE. We're in the process (I do mean PROCESS) of decluttering. Hubby will be retired as of 8/2/2024 and we have big purging plans. I'm 66, he's 73 and we are SO looking forward to getting rid of stuff and living the next phase of our lives in clean and clear freedom!!!! I subscribe to Clutterbug and here's one thing (of so many) I've learned from her: 1. Have I used this in the last year? 2. Do I love it? 3. If I didn't own it, would I buy it again? God speed to all who read this who are on a decluttering journey ✝️🙏🏼💜🪻🌷🩷

Where can I get that medicine organizer!!

My adhd is crazy, tho I try de clutter and bag things up then re look threw the bags days later then take out the stuff again saying “ I could sue that 😂

I love hot pink!!!

I really wish someone would do this subject for men. If I had my husband listen to this, he would dismiss it as a female sort of situation. However, so many men have trouble separating from things they may need. They may use. Or they're just attached to because it's theirs. We need some males to address the same situations in their manish way of speaking. 🙄 🏖Kj in Tampa Bay 🙃

Oh, I like that pull out rack! Anyone know where it is from?

After I declutter my shelves, they look worse than yours before you started!

Where is your cute blue sweater from? 🩵

Oh my goodness that last statement rings so true for me! The stress I get with clutter is no joke. And with 3 kids in a smaller home I sometimes lose it and freak out because it just gets too much. Thank you for the motivational videos. ❤😊

What is that cool cabinet vertical storage thing?

how is the amount of stuff you have related to trust level. I have to work at getting rid of things and I do. So it’s not too bad.. I still feel I have too much. But compared to most of these decluttering videos I see. I don’t have that much stuff. But still looking at videos for inspiration to get rid of more stuff.😂 I only have a two bedroom apartment so it’s not like someone who has a house and has tons of space to store stuff. But some of my closets could still use work.

Square! Can’t say I’ve ever seen a plug outlet in a cabinet. Watching the video now, carry on 😁

I use everything in my one cuboard.

What's that tiny vacuum?!?! I've never seen this before. I looked in the description for a name or link but didn't find one.

Kitchen clutter/gadgets just geow over time. STOP BUYING crap! 😂 I am a male, and my stress level is correlated in-part by how much "stuff" we have in our home :/ it is overwhelming to keep clean or organize. (Especially when you are the only one doing that)

Great tips, what brand is that little vacuum you used in the cabinet?

Omg, I can use it to hold my meds not just my herbs!

I'm trying to find the organizer for meds/ supplements... where were they purchased? Please and thank you

Watching this post pandemic is wild 😅

Without even watching the whole video, I can tell you one thing: I wouldn’t even have any problems with organizing or clutter, if I had such a large, lovely kitchen, with the amount of storage space and cabinets you have there 🤷‍♀️ Problems solved… I have to pray harder to the Kitchen Gods, I guess …🙏🙏🙏😌😆

I live in a studio I know the only thing that's great is I have a huge bathroom

can you link to those pull out things you show in the cabinet at the end?

Do you have an Amazon storefront?

Can I get a link to whatever the heck that thing was that she vacuumed out the cabinet with?

Can you expand on the trust element in women? I never heard about that one before

Wait what was that about trust!? Or did she say stress lol

Wait what? What was that bit at the end about a womans trust level directly correlating with how much stuff she has? I need to know more 😅

I'm not sure I understand the comment about a woman's trust level. Like, she's not trustworthy if she has more stuff? Or, she's unable to trust other people if she's got more stuff? Neither of those explanations makes any sense to me.

Who is keeping the toster CLOSED INSIDE the cupbard?! I use it twice a day!

Did she say trust level or stress level? 🙏🏼

Nice. For me- no way all that plastic! No bins, no serving dishes.

Hold the phone. Now what was that last line you said there again?

Can we talk about the woman’s trust level being correlated to the amount of stuff she has?!?! Lol!

I can't organization with out messing up🤣

Her trust level? You mean the level she trusts or the level others trust her?

Not everyone has that much money to repurchase stuff.

Please tell more about a woman's trust level correlating to the amount of stuff she has. I'm curious about that.

No, soon it wont be

The whole for that cable and the fact its not clipped down or to the back of the cabinet annoys me so much

What does she say at the end? I can’t catch it

@KeepItSimpleSparkles, I have trouble getting rid of things even though they haven’t been used in x amount of time because a)we really DON’T have enough money to buy anything in replacement, b) I find my clothes at garage sales and thrift shops and sometimes they don’t fit right away but the following year they are just what I need. I have been changing my lifestyle and lost 80 lbs over the past few years with hopes of losing more. However, I had some issues and I recently regained about 10 lbs and several inches and now wish I had kept some of the clothes I just got rid of. Were also using some kitchen items we hadn’t used in ages because we’re eating differently and cooking more. I know we have too much clutter and it’s bothering us but it’s very hard to figure out what to get rid of as we have a few other unusual but hopefully temporary situations going on. Those involve things like needing more bedding etc than I would have otherwise, and there’s no room for the extra quantity of both types of bedding, if that makes sense. I have trouble with the clothing thing because I seem to be a different size or shape frequently and have lived on a lot of gratefully accepted hand me downs or thrifted clothing as mentioned…oftentimes I find that I have a shirt or sweater that I love, but not the appropriate necessary under layer(camisole or tank top or whatever)because mine has the wrong neckline or doesn’t fit or something. I also have to have more clothes than I would like to keep due to the amount of outdoor dirty work I have where I live. I would love to purge more things in many areas but I do crafting for myself and my church and I have been given supplies for that yet my health has kept me from using it at times, and sometimes it’s just too hard to get it when I need it. I just don’t know what the future holds in many areas. I’m also a book lover and I have a number of books that I haven’t yet read, or have read but would like to reread and I may be unable to do the crafts I love due to health, in not-too-distant future. Truthfully, I began purging my craft studio and trying to organize it to make it work better for me, and it made a big mess. Then a lot of major unexpected changes have happened in my life and I have been stuck, too overwhelmed, too busy with other big life things, and have added more to the mess in the meantime. I am working on it again but I need some suggestions for how I can make wise decisions for decluttering in these areas, knowing that I cannot just buy whatever I need to do things, no matter how little the cost? I realize that this is costing in other ways but I don’t know what to do differently. I’d be grateful for your help.

🙏❤️🙏

Confused so if a woman has an abundance of items her trust level is more than? Or am I backwards?

Actually, I believe the study said a woman’s stress level is directly related to the clutter in the house. Clutter is subjective.
