What’s one thing you didn’t realize you own?

Dana K White also talks about this amazing rule very regularly. she is an amazing resource for people who are overwhelmed with clutter but don't know where to start.I highly recommend her channel.

Amnesia produced by excess-brilliant!

Minimalism as a philosophy has had an impact I never expected. Thanks for the conversations, they've added much needed perspective in a shallow world.

Exactly. If you didn't know you had it, you wouldn't know that it was gone. The other question I ask is, "What would I do if I didn't have this?" That has allowed me to let go of a lot of things.

My favorite part of these videos is the girl laughing in the background 😂

I recently found a old notebook from my father dated 1941 -during the second world war in France-, I did not know I had that notebook in the attic. I will surely not let go since it is part of family history. So the "did not know" rule does not always work for me.

Organized junk drawer? Now that’s GOALS!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I recently moved abroad and when people see my belongings almost all of them said "Why didn't you bring so little here". So I told them that I don't have anything else. They were shocked. I saw the pity on their eyes:) They thought that it is because I was poor. Well I am broke but can afford more than that. At this point IDK if I can find anything else that I own.

TK for the Win : "Amnesia Produced By Excess"

Josh, i don't do manmade rules but this one i am taking into account. Because i am that "didn't know" person, i am always finding treasure whenever i declutter, clothes that i didn't even know exist. Thank you for this.

More than once I have bought a CD and found I already owned it.

I’m in the middle of boxing all our crazy stuff since we’re moving in 2 weeks and found so many items I had no idea I had… so many duplicate items that I’m getting rid of, giving away… it’s very emotional process!!!

I don't agree with this rule.It might work for you, but doesn't work for me. This applies to advice in general. I found a skirt this summer that I didn't know I had. It's been sitting in a box for over 20 years. It's silk, it's fab and I wore it all summer.

Yes! "Someone gave it to me!" At age 54(?) or thereabouts, I decided I would get rid of 54 things. I made a list of the things. I also made another list of where I got the things. I noticed that quite a few were in my house because someone gave them to me. Wow, it was interesting! I had this practice for several years, at the next birthday, and the next, but I never made the second list again, as it was not as important anymore. I find the best way for me to get rid of things is to have a box or a bag that I keep adding to over time, then I donate. Good job with this video!

Years ago, we had a house fire. Everyone survived. We were abundantly blessed. 5 years later, we are moving. I just had Greendrop collect half of the belongings in our garage. It felt great. I didn't know I owned a BBQ lighter.

I love laughing with you guys!

The companion rule to this is 'Forgot' in place of 'Didn't know'.

I remember reading an article a few years ago about this person finding a Ruben's in their attic. They god rid of it... for several dozens millions! 😄 👍🏻 Great new rule!! Love it!

I discovered a room in my house I forgot I had.

I just had two ads play before this would play?

My husband and I are done buying stuff we're getting off of the consumerism wheel you're not going to purchase anything we do not need or do not have to have if we can get it secondhand and a thrift store or Goodwill we will do that first

Do a video challenge where people stop buying stuff for a week👍It is exciting to see what happens when you stop buying SOoOoO much stuff🙌

I have the “I didn’t know I didn’t have this anymore” problem

I’m actually not ok with the idea of brushing teeth in the kitchen sink!!

I know I own it but this rule made me think about my stuff (just got rid of 75% of my books - donated to public library). I own a small outdoor gas grill plus large gas tank attached, taking up space on my small patio. I became vegan 13 years ago and rarely use a grill now. I live alone and when you don't eat meat/fish....I could grill veggies and tofu steaks but I do not. I roast inside in my oven. Going to sell it cheap on nextdoor.

It make so much sense !

Brilliant! I have one house in the country side and one flat in town so I also have two toothbrushes 😂

Last week I found my old tennis racket I havent used in 30 years on a shelf in the garage, so yes I am letting it go.

Makes sense! So let it go!

Wow-great idea 🙌

We accumulate so much stuff, we can find it in a bag, or a box or something. Lol. I totally get it!!!

Oh, you guys crack me up! 😅 You got me at those speedos. 👀 🤣

I change out my toothbrush after routine dental Apts every 6 months but I always have an extra tooth brush. In the event I get sick I change my toothbrush :)

I love this!

This is a good one

Yes but just because I didn’t remember I had something does not mean I don’t want it. I have beautiful glassware and probably other quilts and various things that I haven’t seen in a while or are temporarily out of mind but I do want them. However, I agree in plenty of cases you are correct and I should let it go if I didn’t even realize or remember I owned it.

What do you do with old Mac desktops that are too slow to operate well but are packed with personal files. It’s sitting in my attic and I do not want it but it still works.

I like this rule!

This rule doesn't necessarily work when you have ADHD because we forget about the existence of anything we don't see. 😂

Who is the lady cracking up in the background? I love it!

I follow this rule a lot when I’m cleaning closets out! It’s the best way to toss things or donate.

Just realized I had 2 toothbrushes one at home and one at gym.

Starter like?

I get rid of things I didn't know I had once a month. My place is darn near empty ha! ha!

And at 1.44 you need say no more. 😁

I love the host 😍 what's his name?

Out of sight out of mind

I did not think I owned much but after downsizing a little at a time for the past 10 years, I realized that I indeed own so very much. My best advice to the younger crowd is less is better. My kids have taken what they wanted but finding people to take stuff left over has been tough. Good, working stuff. Too hard to throw away. This would not be an issue if I had not bought so much to begin with. I hope this helps a younger person who is just starting out. November 4, 2022
