Thank you so much. I live in Kyiv, Ukraine. After russian invasion in February 2022 I felt depressed and didn't want do anything. I made my apartment a real mess and didn't have the will or stangh to change it. As time passed by I got myself together and decided that I don't want my home to look like this. But I didn't know where to start. And, luckily, I found your channel. I found out what type of clutterbug I am and what my type of organization is. Your videos give me inspiration, ideas and push me to action. I've already cleaned and declutered my entry room, bathroom, and a few cabinets in the kitchen. After I've watched this video I'm going to clean and declutter my bedroom.

Slava Ukraine! I watch Ukraine Matters, Anna from Ukraine, Officer Starsky, Artur Ruhi, Jake Broe, Ryan McBeth, TVP World, daily (but not every one daily). I also donate to United 24, a Ukraine animal rescue (monthly), and war causes. My grandparents were Czeck and Slovak, relatives grew up behind the Iron Curtain, you don’t have to tell me to never trust ruskies. Thank you for defending liberty. So many in the US are uninformed. They don’t get that you are the first line of defense, and that the weapons that we are sending are due to become decommissioned soon anyway at great expense. And that you are using them wisely and proactively to defend your sovereign country. In a way, we are decluttering the arsenal built in the 80s to defend against ruZZ.

I agree with the majority of your suggestion, but in my case I have to keep the old planners. My now deceased mother kept planners for years. My father has dementia. I have looked at my mother’s planners many times to determine when my father was diagnosed, medications taken, cancer diagnosis, treatment. With my father no longer being verbal my mother’s detailed planners have been extremely valuable for providing a medical history to current physicians.

It was in the Sears Christmas Wish Book catalog. It was a Christmas gift. It was avocado green. It was bugly. (but_ + ugly = bugly) I know we had fondue once, in 1972 I think. Nobody liked it. 😂 I will NEVER allow a fondue set to cross the threshold of our home, period!!!!!

I’ve recently retired from teaching and finally have the time and energy to declutter. I started with the school supplies by inviting my colleagues over to “shop” and take whatever they wanted. I have done everything you said…with usable mugs, I have potted small plants in them and used them as gifts. I also take it slow…I found an organization that will pick up every two weeks, so I pack up 3 or 4 boxes at a time and schedule a pick up. I have a long way to go but I am making progress! Thanks for the reinforcement that I am focusing on the right things.

I’m 77 and do not want to leave my kids with taking care of my accumulations! What I’ve done is create an extensive “prop closet”! These are seasonal, well beyond Christmas, fall (including Halloween), spring (including Easter), and summer, which includes the porch and the entry! Because I live where I have minimal friends (many of which cannot make it up the stairs to the living level!), entertaining is not common. My “Stuff” means way too much to me and has got me thinking about what should be passed on to my kids, and family photos for many cousins. Things that belonged to my maternal Nan who was born in the late 1800’s, that are more than precious! I’m always dropping things off at Goodwill and Salvation Army. I have to say that my house is neat and very put together … until you see the attic and pantry! I do struggle with this issue almost daily, yet feel so relieved after dropping things off! My worry is the speed at which I’m accomplishing the needed action. I plan on living past 90, and should see great purging between now and then! Just wanted to share the point of view we “mature” people have to deal with! God bless!

I watched this video last October (2023) and it changed my life! I copied the list and started decluttering that evening and never looked back. I glommed on to your videos and found those of the Minimal Mom too and have been known to binge watch them for half a day for motivation and encouragement. My husband and I, the few times we moved, kept moving into bigger and bigger spaces and the moves always happened so fast we didn't really have time to go through and get rid of things before the move (Egad!) He died at Christmas 2021. So in October I realized it was time to make this MY house instead of OUR house. Decluttering the whole house has made it easier to let go of his things without feeling like I'm "throwing him away". My father died 12 days later and so I have a lot of stuff from my parents that I brought to my house that need to be dealt with too! (mostly paperwork, photos and things I wasn't ready to let go of when we emptied out the family home) Your decluttering and organization wisdom and examples have been absolutely inspirational for me! I also really appreciate your willingness to be vulnerable and share your own experiences and weaknesses with this effort. It keeps reminding me that this is something I can succeed at too. Thank you SO MUCH! - Carol

The time and effort it took her to clean all the clutter around her house for years is what I will remember of her. Always cleaning and rearranging.

Here's my dilemma- I just can't seem to part with cards and letters from family and friends. I always say to myself, when I die, my kids will go thru things and think, "oh look, mom did this or that," maybe I think they may get to know me a little better", I don't know.

We’ve been in this house for 8 years now and this drawer has a triple divider. There are things that I found in the very back that made me go “hmmm!”. When I asked him what’s this or that , he said “ oh that’s a piece that went to such and such which we no longer have but you never know when you might need it “. Really!? I put all his little strange pieces and parts in a container and put them on his workbench in the garage. Problem solved! Still working on the rest though. Hope to finish today. It’s the last drawer and the last of all the cabinets in our large laundry room. Next I move on to finish my kitchen. Like you said one inch at a time. I never in my life thought it would take me this long to reorganize anything in my home. My closet is a nightmare! Saving that for last! I’m not a saver and never have been but my husband is and in this house we share a huge closet. We had separate walk ins in our old house. Now his nightmare is in-cringing on my space. I have to ask him to be able to move any of his stuff. Drives me crazy! 🤪 he has so many pairs of blue jeans that he can’t wear it’s ridiculous! Someone could really use them! When I ask him about them he tells me he’s going to lose weight. Been saying that for 4 years….. as he tells me to go buy him 4 more pairs of jeans that he can wear 🙄 time to let go of the old jeans and make space for the 4 pairs he can wear!
