You could still watch the videos throughout the month if you need some encouragement. 2. Just do it now! Take the week off for your trip and add a fourth week on at the end. (or just do three weeks ) I should make one of my videos about decluttering while packing/unpacking. It’s actually one of the best time to do it. You will find things you thought you wanted to keep don’t seem right for your new home and sometimes it’s easier to get rid of things after the move than before. You can also set a modest goal for yourself. Maybe it’s a goal of unpacking and decluttering at the same time and going through a certain number of boxes each day. Just pick whatever is realistic for you at this point in your life. 💛💛💛

    Teresa, I know everyone doesn’t decorate for Halloween (I do cute, not scary) and today was the day I went thru all my Halloween decor decluttered and downsized. It was to the point I wasn’t looking forward to decorating bcuz I had too much stuff! It feels good, and was a “kickstart” for my home/challenge.

    It is comical to me that someone criticized and acted like you were advertising your air b and b. Those always get plenty of business. It was obvious you were merely sharing ideas and thoughts on simple decor etc. So silly that some jump to make such false assumptions. Clearly they didnt watch the whole video. I think some people are really impatient and want a super short video and then theyll criticize the youtuber for talkin to fast. I admire you for your ability to have a real full life and post these lovely videos. Seriously ignore the negative comments. Some ppl need prayers badly!

    I needed this push. My decluttering challenges are based on this formula: day 1, 1 thing, day 2, 2 things, day 3, 3 things, and so on through 31 days. It adds up to just under 500 things for the month. I have extended it to the next month and it works out well. Time to try again!

      @@s.Malagnino Hmmm… I am sad you feel that way. Quite honestly, I have no need to promote our BnB. We are busier than we want to be an often block days to give us rest. I’m sorry if I came across in anyway prideful or like I was trying to promote. I truly had a revelation of how peaceful it feels in the cottage without all the extra clutter. I had a similar thought when we were on vacation this summer in another Airbnb and I realized how restful it was without having so much surrounding me. My hope was that it would encourage others that we truly can have a space without visual clutter, and without so much stuffed into cabinets that it causes stress and distraction and decision fatigue. That was truly my heart. I wish you the best, Sarah. 😊

Most weeks nothing or just 1 thing. But they have to go with something or have a place to display. No more stuff in containers except holidays ( going through those things too) love your air b&b.
