So agree! Last week I got rid of four sheepskins that no longer serve us in our new home, and a lovely woolen dress that ticked all the boxes for me but that I took off every time I put it on anyway because I felt like an oversized toddler in it. I found the courage to put it in a bin for the thrift store. Not easy, they were expensive items. But so worth it, I felt light like a butterfly and have peace with letting it all go. The freedom I gained is much more important.

I definitely agree! Those rules are incredibly helpful. Even persons who typically clutter would be inspired to declutter their possessions after watching your video

My parents just did this. They moved to another country and left so much behind. Right now they are living in a rental in the old country finalizing logistical things but oh man they seem so much happier because the new house in the new country is so empty... part of it is just letting go of all that shit they didn't want anymore, but also the new house is so empty and promising. My dad said he can't wait to "furnish the new house as slowly as possible" and he keeps joking around calling the new property "the monastery"

I honestly love your videos. You’re my new fav. Would love to see a day in the life video/vlog and how you stay present as a mamma and your day to day routine. If not no worries! Your such an inspiration ❤

These prompts are soo helpful! I'm nesting for my first baby who is due soon, and I just feel this urge to let go of a lot and make room for all of the new life that he will bring. The other side of me wants to be more practical and sentimental, but I always seem to feel better when I'm not surrounded by so much stuff. Thanks for the motivation! ❤

Katie, I have watched many, many decluttering videos - all with the goal of trying to motivate myself to start. It's something that I really, really want to do but I have been having such a hard time just starting and letting go. When I heard you say "Do you want options, or do you want freedom", it just struck me and, of course, I want freedom. I have managed to let go of so many things just in the short time that this video has been out and I feel like I can continue now - I will just keep asking myself that one question. Thank you - you have made a difference!

Also found out that I have a tendency to make multiple reminders about the same event like photos, invitations or tickets and magnets and mugs from one trip. Like if I'm afraid to forget my past 😮😔

I gasped when you tackled the poop rule because my current favorite item is an anime plushie 😅

I feel like minimalism gives us freedom for more options. . options outside of our home to enjoy life with. :) I enjoyed listening to your video! I totally made a wrong purchase a couple of times where I thought it would benefit me and I'd use it a lot only to realize it didn't add value at all. Even as a minimalist I have done it. Usually I think through all the ways something will benefit me, and it is usually the items that I don't do that with that causes me to make those "whoops" moments. Thankfully, in the near 18 years of my minimalism, I have barely had that happen, but it is still so frustrating when it does. "AH! Why did I spend money on this thing I only used a couple of times in the past six months to a year??!" I hope to get to know you and your channel more soon. Thanks again! It is nice to have some extra encouragement from others.

❤❤❤ you will be famous here youtube oneday.. dont forget me! 😅😅

I'm now thinking about packing party and pretending like I'm moving. Trying to figure out if I can go by without an item. Starting to enjoy letting go
