You got this! You’re always leaving me in the dust. 🤣

I love this way of thinking...

My thoughts exactly! I am busier on some days and can’t declutter as much on certain days. Let me know if you were able to do all 30 days. I’m hoping my momentum doesn’t run out. Thanks for sharing.

That's awesome to have a decluttering community. I'm getting better at letting go of stuff! Good luck to you and thanks for watching.

Wow! I’ve always been intrigued by Australia. Thanks for watching and sharing a comment. My adventure videos do not get as many views as much as my decluttering videos. My ultimate goal is to declutter, enjoy the simple things in life, and retire.

Yes, we are!

Thank you! It's getting easier as I build my decluttering muscles! Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you so much! I have decluttered even more. It’s getting better. Thanks for watching!

Thank you, I agree. I was able to show me doing the work on the second half because teachers were busy teaching and I was busy testing and recording between groups. It was a busy day. I just couldn’t handle the rug in such a small room. I had to do something about it! I gave it to another teacher. 😊

Life is crazy that way!

It’s legal. We have sprinklers. Also, the huge room I moved from doesn’t have any windows that open either.

Thanks for watching! I enjoy helping others and decluttering. I appreciate the sincere compliments.

Thanks for watching! Yes, we did! We also worked on my mom’s house, but for now I’m not videoing it. Too many personal items in the house and I am being respectful of my other siblings.

Thank you for your encouragement and compliments! Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.

Thank you for your comment. I know it does take time to get rid of stuff and sometimes I wish I could move it faster, too. Now that I'm back at work it seems to have slowed way down. It takes a lot of time organizing and pricing for a garage sale. I hope you can have a friend or family member help you move your items out of your basement and get them sold. It sounds like you are on the right track with getting rid of old business papers etc... I'm glad you started 3 years ago. That gives me hope that I don't have to complete my mission over one summer break because it came and went but so glad I did it! Thank you for watching my journey!

Yes, my garage/ eBay storage area is overflowing 😂. My goal is to get rid of the extra teaching “ stuff “ and the items I’ve cleaned out from our home. I usually have a garage sale with my neighbors so we can recycle the items. I plan to keep selling on eBay. Thank you for watching my journey.

Thank you so much! Thanks for watching! 😊

Great idea! I’ll share your suggestions. Thank you for watching!

Thank you so much! ❤

In some of my earlier videos you can see me recycling a lot of shredded documents etc…. Also in the past, I have had garage sales and I have made donations as I continue to declutter and organize my entire house. Going through all of my bins takes time. My newest video is about helping my sister declutter and organize as I take a break from my garage. But soon I will share what was donated etc…Stay tuned for an upcoming video that will talk about my final “stuff” dilemma. So to answer your question, yes I get rid of “ stuff” and yes I still have a lot of “ stuff “ to manage. Thank you so much for watching! 😉

It's crazy how much stuff we accumulate over time.

Thank you!! 😊

I appreciate your kindness! Thank you

So true, I do edit out a lot of my video, otherwise it would be too long. Also, some of my viewers requested that I share my thoughts more. May you also have a blessed week.

I agree that more could go in the garage sale but it will take some time to sort each bin individually. I plan on selling a lot of my Christmas items in a fall garage sale because people seem disinterested in the fall holiday decorations in the heat of the summer.

Thank you, it is a slow process, but the stuff accumulation happened gradually. It is taking longer than I anticipated to have my garage sale. Those colors are a great idea! My husband painted those with a chalk paint about a year ago and pink happens to be my favorite color. Perhaps in the future when I grow tired of the look. I appreciate your comment and thank you for watching!

Thank you, I like the vintage furniture because it is built with solid wood. It seems to hold up well. Thank you for watching!

That is so true! Working on organizing and decluttering the stuff I don’t need or do not want to resell. There is a lot of donating and shredding going on! Thanks for watching! 😁

I do too! It would make my decluttering journey so much easier. Thank you for watching!

@@gatoregidge any chance you're in the state of colorado?

@@LaniG4 No, I live in New Mexico. What part of Colorado (general area is okay) do you live in? I know we have to be careful on Social Media.

@@gatoregidge oh shoot pretty far drive we closer to the military bases by the airport

I will try to talk more and share my feelings etc... I appreciate the advice. Thank you for watching!

My channel is just about the adventures in my life and being real. I came up with this name several years ago when I started selling plush on eBay, but life got too busy and I stopped selling. I came up with the name because several of the creative names I came up with were already taken. I combined a plush gator and instead of gadget I invented the word gidge. I put them together with an "e" to create gatoregidge. When I decided to try creating video content I decided to use the word as it was so unique. I like the way it roles off of my tongue. Also, my husband is originally from Florida and he has great childhood stories about gators. Those were my inspirations for the word Gatoregidge. Thank you for watching!

Si tan cierto! Tomo anos llegar hasta aquí y llevara tiempo ordenar las cosas. Gracias por ver!

Thank you for sharing your journey. I'm glad that we have the mindset to donate, recycle, and sell the abundance in our lives. Keep up your decluttering journey. I am getting there a section at a time. Thank you for watching my craziness! LOL 😂

It sure is! It didn't happen overnight and some of it I inherited. I thrifted a little bit at a time and I have sold on eBay a little bit at a time. My problem is time... I am a full time school teacher and eBay is and was my side hustle. I also had some antique booths in the past but because I can't clone myself and my energy level is not like it used to be I closed my booths. I have had 1 or 2 garage sales for the past few years with my neighbors or by myself and I have been able to donate a lot along the way as well. I am getting ready to retire after this next school year and I am trying to declutter 16 years of accumulating school stuff. WOW! It is not going as quickly as I would like it to go! The struggle is real. The eBay side is to keep me busy during my retirement or if I decide not to do eBay anymore I can sell it or donate it. Thank you for watching!

@@gatoregidge It's a great side hustle! You will have so much room in your Garage.

@@carolynoquinn4573 Thank you!

LOL, Sorry for the confusion... I should do a quick recap at the beginning of my videos for new viewers. I have been on a journey to declutter a lot of stuff inside and outside of our home. This is Part 4 of previously recorded videos(Part 1, Part 2a, Part 2b, and Part 3) Decluttering the garage. Prior to that I have done some stand alone videos on different sections of our home or projects that we have going on. The goal is to donate, sell, recycle, and get rid of most of my teaching stuff and other "stuff" we aren't using anymore. I plan on retiring from teaching after this next school year. I also had a side hustle of selling on eBay and thus the accumulation of so much inventory. This has happened over a few years and I seem to buy more than I sell. I am resetting my eBay side hustle in hopes of selling more or if I decide not to sell any of it I will just have a huge garage sale and be done with it. I haven't decided as of yet. I seem to go back and forth. The great news is I haven't thrifted in several months because I started to feel overwhelmed. I also inherited a lot of vintage toys that I am selling or donating. Thank you so much for watching and I am grateful for your nice comments.

@@gatoregidge Thank you, yes, I have watched the other garage videos. That was on my mind...I think she must buy more than she can sell.... I wish you lots of luck on your big project and I will be looking forward to more videos.

@@patpalmer1337 Thank you! Full time eBay sellers can sell that type of volume but I really don't have the time nor do I want to spend all of my free time listing. A little at a time is okay, but not all at once. PS. I also had some antique booths in the past but I have sold most of that inventory at my garage sales before I started creating videos about decluttering. Just ready to simplify my life!🙂

@@gatoregidge I personally would not worry about trying to sell things. its too much emotional / mental stress. i would just donate and get a receipt that can be taken off of your yearly taxes. just concentrate on personal items.

@@lisaann6267 I think that is a great alternative. Thank you for sharing your advice. I appreciate you watching!

Thank you so much for watching!

Hi there, I teach (English Language Learners) K through 5th so you can imagine how many resources I have created for the different grade levels, languages, and multiple schools. Yes, I agree with you, we have an abundance of stuff. I can't believe how much of it I have accumulated over the years. I had a garage sale last summer and one in the Spring of this year to get a head start on this never ending clutter!

@@gatoregidge I have a lot of respect for you. There are so many kiddos and soooo many levels of learning they could be at.

@@debratakagawa4764 Thank you so much!

Thank you, I enjoy bringing nature into our home.

Thank you so much for your kind words! My channel is just about the adventures in my life and being real. I came up with this name several years ago when I started selling plush on eBay, but life got too busy and I stopped selling. I came up with the name because several of the creative names I came up with were already taken. I combined a plush gator and instead of gadget I invented the word gidge. I put them together with an "e" to create gatoregidge. When I decided to try creating video content I decided to use the word as it was so unique. I like the way it roles off of my tongue. Also, my husband is originally from Florida and he has great childhood stories about gators. Those were my inspirations for the word Gatoregidge. Finally, I am a child at heart as I work with kids all of the time and they teach me so much. They remind me to appreciate the little things in life! Especially nature and everything that is free such as birds chirping, mountains, sky, rain, creatures great and small etc... I am realizing that I do not have to own everything I like and I am slowly working my way to letting go of the "stuff" I no longer use or need.

That is a very creative name. I know you are a teacher. Noble career, and I bet the kiddos loved you. Did I hear you say you were retired or retiring soon?? Thank you for your adventures 😊 😘

Unfortunately they do not. We are required to clean our rooms out. I usually sell, donate, and recycle what I can. I have decided to set it aside and will be looking for a new teacher to donate it to at the beginning of the school year.

Gracias, por el consejo!

Thank you!
