My decor reflects my image; my clutter betrays my truth. This is a whole new way of thinking about housekeeping. Thank you for this.

Clutter under furniture could also mean that you have a preschooler lol

The Fly Lady was a big inspiration in decluttering and cleaning my home. I was borderline suicidal, it helped me tremendously.

someone once told me to just start in one area and clean/declutter....bit by bit.

I own far too many books, all of which I love. My clutter is those books. I’m having a bookcase made to hold them in style.

Your words were very kind towards people who hoard.they do need love.

My main issue is that I never have enough energy or motivation to tidy. I feel tired so often (and I know it sometimes is due to iron/vitamin D though it's hard to keep track of the supplements) and when I do have energy, I have issues focusing on anything that isn't mental. So I usually don't have issues getting stuff done for uni and I can be quite perfectionist for that sort of stuff but when it comes to cleaning or tidying stuff up I feel physically exhausted. Relate to the messy room (my clothes are everywhere, I struggle doing laundry regularly) and the kitchen

I watched the video half way, got to the point of clearing office desk, stopped it, cleared my desk and watched the rest of it! that's how convincing you were!!!! thanks

And if you have clutter in lots of places, you’ve got issues! 😉 **goes to clean up a pile**

Forward to @4:53 for the info you came to listen.

Wow this vid popped up so I watched it. I’m one of those with hidden clutter ( closets, cabinets etc) I related to all the feng shui points you made. I recently did major organization and it was very cathartic, spot on re emotions, procrastination and living in the past. Psychologically I feel much better.

Dayum I’m clutter eff’d!😂

Hoarding is a fear of poverty. My husband comes from a family of hoarders. They all had/have at least 1 retail job so they get big discounts. The very first time I went to my husbands Aunt's house there was a path from room to room because the place was filled with stuff from floor to ceiling! Just like the nightmares that we see on TV. The back porch was full and she had 2 storage sheds built in the backyard that were filled to the brim, as well. I was in shock. It was a small 2 bed/1 bath house. She lived by herself but geesh. So much stuff! As the years have gone by my husband drags more and more stuff home and I have to drag it out to the trash. It's literally become a daily cycle at this point. I'm the complete opposite. I'm not okay unless I live in a magazine cover, Everything is white, light greys, silver, crystal and mirrors. Even my rugs are white fur, The living room furniture is white. White throws and throw pillows, lol, and everything is very minimalistic and immaculate. When you have a home like this it's even more noticeable when something is outta place. It drives me nutz!! We entertain a lot and his family is at our home a lot and they are in love with the place but won't get rid of the hoard to live a better stress free life for themselves. At least his Mom has her stuff in a spare room and it is organized. She's recently let my husband put her place together but that's the blind leading the blind, lol. At least she's coming around. :)

I am an Interior Designer, photo ready is COLD and TOO PRIVATE... get real, get cozy...

Procrastination...that makes sense..

I only just found this today ....thank you .! I found this this to be really motivating ... I have clutter on and around my desk .... it stops me from staying on top of my paperwork , but also it affects my ability to organise my life! I’m going to work on that today!! Thanks for the pep talk!

I have the famous “chair" that I put all my clothes on. My closet used to be a mess but I try to keep it neat now. You and your place are absolutely stunning! I'm a interior designer as well and clutter is something I pay attention to, even when I'm over someone's home. Love this! Thank you girl :)

I stumbled across your channel and liked what I saw. I have subscribed.

I’ve found that the nicest people in my life have clutter everywhere. They are far more interested in people than stuff, being on display.

You really need a Talk Show!

I live with two men, my husband and special needs brother. They both drop things where they please. I think their clutter is a man thing. I put my clutter in bins and behind closed doors. Clutter is stress!

At this point I have a lot of issues, I have clutter everywhere in every room right now! I am so overwhelmed and starting to work through this!! I am a New Traditionalist. Time to start clearing out this house!!! Thanks so much, this has motivated me even more to get moving!

Omg you are killing me with these reasonable sounding notions.... ugh... so far I’m checking all the boxes. A massive pile up of tragedies and various crisis-es laid over everyday life of a generally chaotic girl has arrived me at bad place bad time. Must get out of it all asap thanks for the 4-1-1🖤💜🖤💜

Clutter is a sign of depression. I was waiting for you to mention this, but thought I'd put it out there, b/c it is not all so cut and dried...

WOW, how resonating!! I have a lot of issues, I have recently de-cluttered my kitchen and at the same time looking at how I nurture my family has really changed from resentment to embracing, loved the video a lot of truth there thank you

Your video is 11:54 in length and you spent 4:55 in intro. I really, really like your channel but (being very ADD) I start doing something else while waiting for you to get to the topic. I know this is my problem but I have to wonder: How many other ADD potential Subscribers are out there?

what if I have clutter everywhere?😂

"A cluttered entryway shows a fear of relationships?" We love our entry to clear to walk into but to be full of shoes taken off and hooks to hang coats so everyone feels comfortable coming in. It doesn't have to feel "posh" which can make people uncomfortable. After the entryway, then the house if non-cluttered. People feel like there is a place for them with their coat and shoes along with everyone else.

I love this. Thank you so much for this topic

Wow, wow, wow!! I just came across your channel and started doing a”binge” watch, this video described me to a T!! I look forward to learning more from you.

I keep a really clean apartment partially because I air bnb it on the weekends. My messy spot is my closet. Which causes me stress, I am working to declutter. Recently I have been more into my emotions and accepting them. Declulltering will be a cathartic way to let my emotions breathe. Thanks for the content!

OMG, you are describing my best friend! I've been trying to get her to clean up and get rid of tons of stuff, and it's an uphill battle. I'm the opposite, I can't stand clutter. I tell her if it's not very sentimental, useful, or a collection it needs to go. But back to what I was saying, you describing the feng shui and the psychology of clutter, wow, that hit the nail on the head!

I stumbled across this video and boy it really hit me hard. My house is clean but with clutter here and there. I feel like it clutters my mind and can't seem to move forward because clutter holds me back from progressing it's like a barrier. Love what you explained.

Lv those earrings....

Excellent, I have to stop shopping at thrift stores, I love finding unique things, but I need to just stop. I have bikes, boat's, skies, several homes full of stuff. Way to many clothes, so much gear. They say wanting is suffering. I love all my stuff, I am active, I love shopping, and I love the outdoors more. I love working and looking nice in front of people. I have music instrumentals, everywhere. I am happy with all my stuff, so many incredible times. I do feel overwhelmed with so much responsibility, homes, cars, stuff. I love my home, I love my collections, as far as others, I don't think their lives could match the active home owner, the doer, not the celebrity person who has to entertain people in their home. I entertain outside my home or at my rich friends home, let them have that neat and tidy home. I will bring the boat, the raft, the fun stuff.

I'm Grateful for this video to day. 12 minute of realizing what the clutter at my place say about my life/me. Humm. Thanks Keep up the good work.

You should ALWAYS either toss out, of give away to a new home, things your not using. It'll make you feel better if its somethng you loved and knowing that its going to a good home with friends. Maybe some baby gear, or an old crib, Things you know people who NEED it will USE it and love it. Some things just need to be tossed, old magazines, news papers. Ive helped many friends who were huge clutter bugs clean out their whole house. I bring the 32 gallon trash bags, and a vacuum if they dont have a decent one and the first rule is to "just go through the house and fill up the trash bags with all the OBVIOUS TRASH. Things you KNOW you absolutely do not need, or things that are broken. Get it OUTSIDE and then take it from there. Ive always been alot like the specialists on hoarders that help those poor souls (and WAY before that show was actually on too!) ; ) great video!

Very insightful. Also during this video, I learned my style is New Traditionalist. Awesome!

OMG, this was awesome! I felt like this was straight a read! lol But a well needed read on what clutter came mean. Love it!

You are fabulous! I adore your channel. I just found it today and immediately binge watched several episodes. Thank you...thank you...thank you!

Fascinating! Loved this!

I agree with everything but Marie Kondo says re: decluttering that you SHOULD do it all at once (as best as you can manage within a certain time frame) so that you *immediately* feel the benefits as opposed to little by little!

I'm new to your channel, and just have to say I LOVE IT! You are so professional and engaging. :) I look forward to your videos each week for inspiration. Keep up the great work!

The only places I have no clutter are my cellar or attic! Because I live in a one floor apartment. I'm a new subber and really enjoyed this video. It really resonates with me - the reasons for the clutter in those areas. It has woken me up. Thank you.

Your simple methods for decluttering gives clarity to setting goals

I clutter all over my room my car but not my desk at work ... I have always said the clothes being around my bed makes me feel wrapped up ..some sort of weird closeness...people who clutter all over self loath....right before watching this video I was just asking God not to wake me up tomorrow morning because I just can't seem to get this thing called life in order. And I want to so bad but I just never finish what I start

Stumbled across your channel this morning & OMG love your content!! Thank you for sharing all of this information! You're amazing!

👍🏻👍🏻 I identify with this video better and now have a much better understanding. Thanks for sharing.

This was so helpful. You have really helped me to realize I have been stuck in the past. Also self loathing, I do have clutter all through my house, but thank you, never knew why❤️

So agree with you. Hate the OCDs. Hate minimalism. Not a total clutter bug, but need to do some purging.

What tips have you for got for editing/decluttering sentimental items, such as school exercise book & childhood drawings? I'm really struggling with this, but I've got such a lot that I simply can't keep it all!

Your style quiz was right on. The first one that has EVER hit me right o .

Loved ur sensible talk..am def subscribing...my tip wud b to always keep a basket/bag and toss things which u wanna throw/give/donate as and whenever u clean..once full it can b sorted and emptied..this way clutter never accumulates.

This video is very helpful to me. I am not a hoarder , I am just slow on declutter. When I have to make a decision on what to do I don't do anything with my cluttery mess.

Interesting info to ponder, BUT, I truly feel clutter is a sign of Depression and Not knowing how to let go....holding on to things and not able to be décisive enough to Let it Go....

New subscriber. I'm overwhelmed with sooooooo much stuff. SMH 😔💔. Thank you

Clutter talk clutter talk... 4.56 video actually start.

Clutter goes with a Chronic illness.

Off to mop my floors. Thanks for the video. I am a new subscriber now. You seem great!

This was so helpful to know! Thank you!

I do need to get rid of a lot of stuff. I have a hard time with that.

Yes! I love to organized! I’m interested too!

What comes first - addressing what created the clutter to eliminate the clutter- or - will clearing the clutter eliminate what caused clutter in first place ?!

My bedroom is very cluttered, and yeah I wanna escape from so many emotions in my life.

My clutter is the #1 passion and love of my life: BOOKS. I call them my children. I have close to 700 now, and oddly enough, I keep them all in my bedroom, so if you came into my little 400 SF cottage, you wouldn't know about the books unless you went in my bedroom. Do NOT tell me to offload my children. It aint gonna happen; I can tell you that much right now. :-)

Just found you- you're amazing! ❤️❤️❤️

I honestly have all of the above. I had an abusive childhood and have dealt with that for a long time. I have also been a single mom for 23+ years. It's exhausting, for real. I find that videos like this making me aware and reminding me that this is not good, motivates me to do something. I am getting something done tonight that i have been needing to do rather than just sitting in bed binging on KZfaq. Because of your video. I really kind of hate technology because i could sit here for the rest of my life and never run out of entertaining things to watch. I wish it was less accessible. I have a lot of stuff because i lived the last 10 yrs in a huge 4 bd town house and now stuck in a small 2 bd apt because my landlady sold the property. i have a storage unit i am paying for as well. its 10x25, almost the biggest they have! plus i have enough stuff in my house to fill up another storage that size. not my regular belongings, those are all put away in the apt. i have a ton of boxes still taking up my living and dining area that i have nowhere to put and are taking up my life. How do i get rid of this stuff? I have tried going through stuff and some things are definitely easier to get rid of than others. i have gotten rid of the easiest stuff but still have tons i can't seem to let go of. i feel a lot better after getting rid of stuff but can't seem to let go of certain things. Tfs.

apparently I am a total mess lol I cannot disagree

Clutter next to my bed happens when I go though a depressive state. My husband lovingly calls it “my nest.” 😂

I enjoy your presentations! Lovely smile!

Excellent presentation!

Your voice. I want it!!

So much you said about why & where you have the clutter s so true! Interesting! TY!

Hi, I like your channel, it’s very helpful! Keep doing it and show some more examples if possible. I subscribed, yessss!!

Good thing we don't have a cellar or an attic - Oy! I have clutter everywhere except in the master bedroom (minus the closets), the dining and front room areas nor in my car. I feel the reasons you give for the cluttered areas makes sense.

What are your thoughts on plants in your room? I would love to have some but my home is very dark.

I’m watching this video as I clean out my closet 😶

Those earrings are hypnotic 😵

Really interesting. I see the connection.

I glad I found cuz I love keep my house clean like it to smell nice I even buy the air

Good info. Thanks. 🌞

Lol about the glaring WARNING sign of the guy keeping things under his house. Lol def a hoarder/weirdo. PPL need to start warning signs early before they're caught up.

my bedside table and my bathroom counter top are 2 areas that need decluttering.

Very informative. Great show, I learned a lot. Thank you.

Great video. learned a lot!

Love! Great content

Well, I/we do not do everything on your list; however, I/we do more than 1. Oh how I wish you were wrong!! I also wish I had found you 3 years ago. Thank you. Seriously, thank you for this; I hope we can examine our personal issues while we dig our way out. [OK, that sounds like we're hoarding which we are not. But we really do have to work at this.]

Excellent video. I have clutter and can’t figure out how to rid myself of it. Not a hoarder. Just stuff that I’m holding on to and not using

I just ordered that book

Love this!

Very insightful! thank u!! Do u have free class in 2018?

I like your channel, I binged watch your videos.

I love your presentation 😊

Omg I really needed to hear this.. could not figure out what the blockage was about

Sorry, this theory sounds far fetched, kind of overanalyzing. I could easily see two main reasons for clutter: you either have too many items and/or have a lot of work and projects going on in life. Or like someone commented, clutter could indicate mental health issues, but probably most people are just busy. I really like the organizing channels such as ClutterBug, who has another theory around clutter and organizing, and it's actually a really helpful system.

Thank You for this vid! Love Your Earrings : )

Loved this video.. made so much sense.. i stuff my clutter under my bed and in our closet.

i have major problems disgarding clothes!!! i try and try decluttering, but i just end up with neatly folded piles of keep clothes .ending in me say "" i have nothing to wear"' im grest in other areas of clearing out organising ect, but i really do struggle / have a big problem with clothes???

I declutter and decorate with ease.....but I just thought you were charming so I listened.

I keep all my clutter, books, collections, etc in my office. The rest of the house is junk free.
