I have also been decluttering at least one thing a day this year. It’s starting to get more challenging now but I want to keep going and finish out the full year. We are planning a move next year so this has been a very timely challenge for me. Everything list of moving tips I’ve read includes decluttering 😊

I love this video and the different thought processes you talked about. I am grateful for all you have taught us so far. One thing I have learned from you is that in order to be successful at decluttering, or anything else for that matter, we all have to find our own motivation. I have loved taking this challenge to declutter 1 thing every day. I know from experience that for me, keeping track of the number of things I am decluttering leads to success in my own journey. When I count the things I am getting rid of, it motivates me to meet or beat that number and keep going. I have been getting rid of many things I probably would have kept, because I am trying to meet or exceed the challenge of at least 1 item daily. Now that I am getting rid of so many things I have hung onto because of indecision, I am excited to at least triple that one item per day this year and beyond. Thanks for teaching us how to make progress and not give up.

Wow this is so good!!

Wow!!

Awesome video. I think A lot of us have a similar idea, but hearing you say it plainly and showing examples helps organize the whole process in my mind. Thank you for the video,

How I am curious how you digitize your journals. I am looking to save some paperwork/journals myself and looking for a good system or program to use! Thank you. :)

This reminded me when my niece came to visit me a couple of years ago, and she redid my pantry which is also a working/storage pantry. What a lovely gift you gave your MIL. We don't need more stuff to dust at this time of our life, but having helping hands is a real blessing. Then to top it off you paid for her containers as well (I realize the husbands were included). Have a Blessed day and thanks for thinking of such a meaningful gift for your husband's parents.

Hello, I have analyzed your TH-cam channel and found some problems, Because of which your subscribers and views are not increasing. Would you like to talk about it for a while?

Wonderful video and love your honesty and openness

I have been doing the “less is more in 24” challenge since January 1st. It has been working great. I have been writing the item(s) down that I declutter each day so that times when I am away on vacation I can keep track of the missed days and either declutter things ahead of time or catch up by decluttering more when I’m back. It has been quite manageable. This past few weeks I have been working on physical photos/negatives/slides and have managed to get rid of two binders full so far. We are also planning a move in the next year so anything I can let go of now is something I won’t have to deal with then. Thank you so much for suggesting this challenge!

I love to see what you declutter and why. Thanks to you, I have declutterred way more items than one a day for the year so far. You are so right in that decluttering one item daily develops this great habit. I hope you enjoy your summer with your family and look forward to seeing you do more decluttering videos. Thanks, Lorraine NSW AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 🤗

Though I live with few possessions, I started your "Less is More in '24" challenge a few weeks ago. It was astounding what I gathered. Things neatly organized in closets but unused. Was pleasantly surprised at the effect felt from passing on those items to people and places that could benefit. I like your approach to just "enough," particularly on the seasonal foods. Thanks for mentioning Amazon Prime Day! Never thought I was vulnerable to that sale . . . until I was!😆 It is definitely the scrolling that is the slippery slope. Wishing you and your family a Happy 4th, and an enjoyable summer.

I closed down 2 years ago my Amazon account. Best thing l ever did. I was shopping myself poor.

Thank you for this video. I decluttered some years ago and managed to keep things that way for quite a while (and it definitely had huge benefits) but in recent years I've really felt things creep back. Currently on my journey to decluttering again and working on my mindset around things too, and these reminders and especially the questions at the end were so helpful! Thanks again! ✨

Ha ha ha!!! WATP and Leslie Sansone was a lifesaver for me when I couldn't get outside. My daughter used to tease me about that video too. . . but it helped. I enjoy your videos, especially the wonderful insights you share.

I needed this, I need an expresso machine and I usually drink tea 😅

Great video. thanks.🙂

Love this! Self-awareness, deliberation, & intention❤️♾️❤️

Thanks for another great video. Such practical tips!

Great video ! I have been decluttering for years... But stuff just keeps creeping in 🙈

I completely understand the “container problem”. 😊. There will always be more…..good job getting rid of them!! And the cubby space is delightful - I would have loved that as a play place when I was little.

I literally had planned to do my only storage closet this Friday so looks like I know what I’m watching for movie night tonight lol- get the popcorn folks !

this space is huge

I decluttered beauty products that I don’t use anymore 👍 You have inspired me to declutter extra things and I definitely feel less stress and my happy barometer is going up since I don’t have to take care of those items anymore

Yes to less to clean and more time doing things you want to do!

Spot on! I’ve noticed the same since I’ve decluttered. “Stuff” is such a time waster. Time spent with family and friends is never wasted. 😊

Thank you so much for starting this challenge! I’m still in it and have started writing down my item(s) so that I can look back and see how very much I have let go of. I’m definitely in it for the long haul! I have been dropping things off to the donation center about once a month.

Great job organizing and declutterring this huge pantry🙌🏼🥰

Noooooo!😂 you're definitely going to need those😅...I declutterrd my office space the other day & I felt the room breathe after. Decluttering is such a holy act❤

I really enjoyed your decluttering.❤

Your husband made me laugh 😆 Another great video! When our boys were young, they didn’t like the sheet on their beds. So we just made the beds with a fitted sheet and quilt/comforter. It made making their beds much easier for them too. Thank you. I have always kept a clean and organized home yet I’m learning so much…especially how to let go of perfectly good items that we are not using.

Love your videos. It is so helpful seeing what others are decluttering and hearing why. I started a few weeks ago, doing one item a day- sometimes more. I’m loving it and have moved so much stuff out of my house. I had 4 lovely wine glasses my sister gave me years ago. I don’t drink and only use them once a year when I host our Bookclub group. So I decided to ask my friends to each bring their own wine glass 😉 and I gave them to my friend who was wanting more glasses. Yeh for us both. Thankyou for your great content and bravo to you and your hubby for raising your kids in a clutter free environment. I love that you have taught them to help each day.

This weekend I got rid of a plastic bin that was in the back of my car that I had forgotten about and 6 cheap wine glasses I never use that were given to us when my in-laws downsized about 10 years ago. This has been a great challenge so far and it’s made me consider the stuff in our home differently. I have usually been staying with only one item a day in order to pace myself. Going to see how long I can keep this up without getting into other people’s stuff as I have already been minimizing for years.

It’s leap year, we have one extra day to declutter!! 366 items by end of year!! I’m in! But I need some catch up!!

You are absolutely brilliant. As a kid if my mom said “we’ll have time for a game” I’d sh:+=/%t my pants and be out the door in 5 seconds. Having a travel card game is sooo smart. Probably great for family bonding too! I also love your emphasis that kids can be bored and there is no harm in that, teaches them to much so young. I grew in in a house hold that not having enough time and running behind caused violence, screaming and name calling, it was traumatizing for me as a kid so I really appreciate your approach and think your an awesome mom! Amazing video. For myself what helps is preparing night before, my outfit, what I’ll eat for breakfast and put the spoon and bowl on the counter, keys and water bottle by the entrance, etc

Even though I declutter regularly I am still finding at least one thing to let go of every day in this challenge. It could be a pile of receipts from Christmas shopping or extra hair ties I no longer need. When I have a crazy schedule for a few days I set a reminder on the phone so I can catch up on missed days. At least one thing goes every day. No days missed yet. I am loving this challenge so far!

We just purged the medicine last week. Almost half of it went.

Always start with the obvious/easy stuff. Great advice!

I am loving your challenge. It has really motivated me to "just let go" of so much. I've learned it's hard to not find multiple things that need to go when you start looking for even just one item to declutter. Doing this every day is already a game changer for me.

6:02 May I ask, what’s the title of that book series you got engrossed in? I haven’t read any fiction book for a long time (only non-fiction). Nothing seems to spark my interest when it comes to fiction books… But I wish I could find some very compelling story that could make me reduce my time on my phone.

So much wisdom! Thank you for this excellent video. You have a lovely manner and voice too.

Today I declutterred a pair of knock off Crocs whose sole is so thin that all the burrs in our paddocks stick right through to my feet. Ouch 😂

This is brilliant! I have just found your channel. Really looking forward to watching more. Feels like you are describing me. Great job❤

Nice job. Good content!

Great video. Best advice - embrace the space.

I’m still in the process of decluttering, but so far I’ve noticed that I can sit and relax without the nagging thought that I need to up and taking care of all the stuff. Totally freeing. Wish I’d known this when I was your age. 😊

Wow, what a great video and thank you for sharing the 13 unexpected benefits.
