Your life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify!

- Today I share what I learned from Mikael Krogerus and Roman Tschappeler (authors of "The Communication Book"). Amazon link: amzn.to/3MHrvMD
And I ramble about my thoughts on getting my husband on board with decluttering.
Here are 9 things my spouse said before decluttering :)
1. But I might need that someday!
2. We paid for it
3. I'm planning to fix it one of these days
4. I'm attached to it; it's hard to explain
5. That's my backup plan if the internet goes down
6. It's not clutter, it's organized chaos
7. Why fix what isn’t broken? It’s been fine for years
8. This could be valuable in a few years
9. Wow, I didn’t even remember we had that

I was raised in an era of CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes, and magazines. Streaming services didn't exist back then. Maybe that’s why my generation has so many things?
First my husband wasn’t on board with decluttering. But now we are both on a journey to become more minimalist. In the video I share what made my husband agree to begin decluttering. And how we created a shared vision for the future.
- What does a peaceful home look and feel like to you?
- Which items in our home bring you joy, and which contribute to clutter and stress?
- How could we simplify our daily routines to create more peace and less chaos?
Declutter something today? ✨

My MIL died a few years ago and she was a rat packer! Her house & storage house was full of antiques (junk) ! When she died it was our job to get rid of it--the majority of the family did not want any of it! I had a similar tendency to hoard! Loved thrift store shopping had scads of old books & magazines! Things I was going to renovate or thought I might need one day! And clothes, shoes etc I had two walk in closets full! Whoa! I suddenly realized no one is going to want my junk either--that was taking up space and energy? After my husband died I started decluttering! That was three years ago and I’m still shedding the stuff! I’m also going to sell my 2200 SF home with the intention of down sizing! It feels good to declutter and reduce the over spending tendency! I wish I’d done it years ago! ❤😊
Thank you for sharing your story. Your journey towards decluttering, especially after such a significant loss, is incredibly moving. It's never easy to part with personal items, especially when they hold memories. Best wishes on your continued journey of decluttering ❤😊
@@calmnordic Thank You! 🤗💕
Thank you so much for this video. I'm in the chaos of decluttering. I'm having trouble with making decisions about what to let go of. I'm old so it takes me longer to get things done but I do some every day. Your videos are calming and help very much. I've been reading up on Swedish death cleaning, I don't want to leave a bunch of stuff for my son to have to deal with when I pass on.
Thank you for your lovely comment. It's great that you're making progress every day. The book about "Swedish death cleaning" is very good, I also recently read it. Best wishes on your decluttering journey. Have a wonderful day!
I'm on a decluttering journey and I wish I could get my husband on board with decluttering. But he's not on board. I got our child on board with decluttering. Love your videos ❤️
Thank you! Sending you lots of energy for decluttering! ❤
I really enjoy watching your videos. They are so calming and inspiring. Keep on creating such beautiful content ✨
Thank you so much for your kind words! Have a wonderful day ✨
Your videos have such a calming effect on me. Thank you
Thank you so much! ❤
I’m so happy I found your channel. My goal is to simplify my life. TY for the inspiration.
Sending you lots of energy for decluttering and simplifying! ✨ Have a wonderful day
Thank you so much. I recognize many of your husband’s arguments as for me attempts to declutter always hit a roadblock. I love your gentle and calm approach to decluttering and addressing your husband’s concerns and feelings. It’s as if you were talking to me. I am hoping through your suggestions I will finally make the effort and succeed. It is overwhelming but so, so necessary. Once again, thank you.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt comment! Sending you lots of energy for decluttering ✨
Thank you for these videos. You have a lovely home and I envy your kitchen counter being free of stuff! Having inherited "stuff" from parents and grandparents it is tough to let go of something that once held meaning for those people who are no longer with us. Still, it must be done.
Thank you for your lovely comment! It's definitely a challenge to let go of sentimental items!
I love your cat. He is so pretty.
Love the book shares too. Good to see your husband joining you on this journey.
Thank you! Have a lovely day!
Just found your channel today. You are wonderful. Thank you for making these videos. What music is this?

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! ❤

Thank you! Have a wonderful day! ✨
Lol I really did get use out of my dvds and cds when the internet was down for several days because they were sending a new router and had street repairing to do. Plus I don't waste time scrolling. Depends how you're wired I guess.
Keep wearing those socks! Video's are fantastic. ❤
New sub❣️love 🇸🇪🤩Jannike from Sweden
I love your kitchen
Thank you! ❤
Love your simple wreath with all the candles. Stunning! Is it a local find?
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it. I got it from my mom a long time ago.
Sottotitoli italiani perfetti!!!!🤩👍👏
Grazie mille! Have a wonderful day! 🤩
It's definitely a process.
Absolutely!
Dear Lovely Lady, You fill my day with your no nonsense videos I love them so much But have looked for the day dress you are wearing in differant colors Can not find them here in the States nor your very cozy socks It is getting cold here now winter is apone us and what you are wearing in your videos with that warm neck would be perfect Please could you help in your videos and tell us where to find them It as all you do be so helpful Happy New year to you and yours & Kitty to
Thank you so much for your kind words! I got the day dress a long time ago from C&A, I think it's a Swiss brand. I'm not sure if they sell it in the States. The socks were knit by an old lady, I got them at the local Christmas market. Happy New Year! ✨
Just found your video, how calming this is ! I’m gonna watch more of your videos than go to my closet. I also NEED to declutter some weight, wish me luck with the Whold Food Plant Based way of eating I’m about to embark on… I have 3 pair of really tight jeans but don’t wanna buy larger, so I wear stretchiest so I don’t have to buy bigger jeans ….what would you do? Buy one pair hoping to lose or wait a couple weeks to see if mine get loser ? 🤔
Thank you so much for your kind words! Regarding the jeans dilemma, I'm no expert on that topic, but I like to feel comfortable in what I wear. If my current jeans are too tight and causing discomfort, I would probably invest in a pair that fits me well right now. Have a wonderful day, and Happy New Year! ✨
I love your cat.
Thank you so much! ✨
can I ask where did you get your slipper or sock your wearing. my feet are always cold.
Thank you for asking! I got the wool socks at a Christmas market, from an old lady who knits lots of socks 😊
Bonjour, merci pour votre vidéo enrichissante. Vôtre chat est magnifique ❤. Bonne année 2024.🎉❤❤❤❤pourriez-vous mettre les sous titres en français.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'll work on adding French subtitles for future videos. Happy New Year! ❤
Would love to know what music is playing
The music tracks are from "Lama House" and from "Johannes Bornlöf" ✨
Beautiful video! I think your husband & I were separated at birth bc I recognize myself in his statements. 😂
That's funny 😂 Have a wonderful day! And Happy New Year!
@@calmnordic Happy New Year to you too!
