I am at an age when I think about my heirs going through my stuff after I’m gone. There’s nothing more motivating to get me to declutter than the thought that my daughter-in-law or sister-in-law will be going through my stuff.
:). Same.
I've nominated the task to be carried out by a young local couple who do it for a living. They also clean and prepare the house and garden ready for sale.
Such a gift to not burden your loved ones with that stress.
Super great point!!! 😊
AMEN!!
Thank you for your encouragement Tim!
Minimalism for me is to live simply. It is not about austerity or self deprivation. We can be minimalists in one area of life and not another. I can have an empty garage, and a full art gallery wall. There can be pillows all over my bed, and just the basics in the bathroom. We can be flexible in our creativity, and in our spaces, and in our lives.
😊 so true
I always appreciate being reminded to be kind to myself, especially when decluttering.
Sometimes I pay a small feel to upgrade seat location in the plane, but not always. Upgrading my flight to Italy in November from Main Cabin to Business Class would cost me over $4,000. However, when I check in, I might find that I can upgrade to Comfort+ for a couple hundred $$. I would probably do that since my ticket is essentially free.
@@TheNewRetiredMe An example of being kind to yourself?
When I declutter I never consider whether I'm being kind to myself. For me, it's a question of do I or don't I want this item, a simple and practical decision.
@@jennywren8937 I understand your question. It doesn’t sound like it is a bother to you to discard sentimental items, or even hesitate when the decision is made. Others, sometimes me sometimes not, do best ourselves up over the inability to get rid of something we know we should. Guilt creeps in. We agonize for days. Sometimes longer. The phrase “be kind to yourself” as I used it here is simply to try to remind yourself you have no reason for guilt. If it isn’t your time to discard an item, accept that. Leave it. Come back to it later. But the guilt isn’t helpful. It’s only harmful.
@@TheNewRetiredMe Thanks for the explanation. Having nursed all family members I am now caring for my husband, nearly 80 years old and suffering chronic health issues. Dealing with the belongings of all those in my past has been a lifelong task alongside working, sometimes more than 18 hrs a day, 7 days a week. When my mum passed in her 103rd year I had so wanted life to be the same that I left her coat in the closet 10 years, only deciding last year that it was time I sorted out in case the situation changed and my husband would be left and unable to deal with it. I am deeply sentimental, hence a life of caring and nursing for my loved ones, their small gifts a happy reminder of days past. Passing on their items recently to a young lady who runs a little shop is giving me great pleasure. Perhaps I am fortunate that I felt no guilt in either enjoying or giving away. Dealing with life has been something I've had to cultivate, telling myself when I think I can't, "But you must because there is no choice. Choose the best option available and get on with it". Best wishes for your channel.
We are currently moving my elderly mother from her home into an apartment. When deciding what she will take to the smaller space she had a moment of shame that she acquired so many things over the years. I reminded her that those things served her well for the time that she needed them. There’s no shame in admitting she no longer needs many of those things in this stage of her life. She seemed to need to hear that it is okay to let the things go that no longer contribute to her life as it is now. All of the advice you gave in this video is good advice. Thank you!
Very sound wisdom for your mother to hear. ❤️
Yes, I had those moments as well. What the heck was I thinking, and why didnt I spend that money (or SAVE it!) on more important things was a constant nagging during my move. "Invest in enriching experiences" was what I should have been doing.
❤ such a wonderful comment
My goal is just to remove more than I bring in each year. It's not fast, but making progress and my children will have less to filter through when I pass.
❤
I retired a little over 4 years ago and for the first year I was seriously decluttering our house and helping my mom declutter. I have still decluttered more during the last 3 years as well in both places and still have more to declutter. It is a journey not a destination for sure. I have found myself decluttering the same areas a few times because I didn't declutter enough the first time or two. You build your decluttering muscles over time is a very true statement. I just took a trunk load of stuff from my house last week and am starting another "donate pile". That doesn't include things that went in the trash. I am not trying to become a minimalist but just trying to significantly decrease the amount of stuff we have in our home. We don't really buy much stuff it's just what we have already collected over the years. We don't even have a paid Amazon account. I only order items from there about 4 or 5 times per year and if I get $35 worth of stuff, I get free shipping. Our kids will have to declutter our stuff if we don't do it unfortunately.
What I like most is the calm way you say things. Just the facts,no should or should not. Thank you for your encouragement to let me do it my way. 👍👌
Had he been my teacher in school he'd be one of the few I actually learned from. Not the voice that puts you to sleep....just calm and squared off. 🎉
I agree with you. Minimalism for each person is different. It’s not based on how many socks you have or how little you spend on this or that. It’s a personal choice to consciously live with less. For some people it’s just the clutter they can’t take for others it’s the idea that consumerism and consumption is taking over. But if you tell people that you are a minimalist or you live simply, they automatically put you in a box that they have predefined. I always tell people that it’s a journey, and not a destination so kudos to you. And I tell people, you do you. And you said it perfectly when you said do what brings you joy.
I have decluttered a few times in my lifetime, As a teacher and principal, and then a kitchen gadget person to and essentials only person.
My family has followed suit, except my husband who has three outbuildings and a garage.
My younger family members have been helpful, I kept what I considered essential for clothing items and they got to come and pick and choose what they wanted for themselves.
They always liked my choice
of clothing.
This happened after I made a list of what o wanted to keep in each room of my house, they quickly removed everything that wasn’t on my lists.
They took what they wanted and the rest were set on tables in the driveway. We then had a potluck in the house while the community had at all the free stuff in the driveway. I used Facebook to offer anything free in the driveway with exception of the five tables!
People were shocked I would give away crystal, China etc. It was such a good weekend. I will do this again one more time this summer and will then consider myself an essentialist
So cool!
I’ve been on a minimalist journey for the last 5 years. It started when I just got tired of all the stuff and it was everywhere. I could enjoy the stuff I loved because I had a bunch of stuff mixed in with it. For example, I love music and I have a small collection of albums, CD’s etc. but I could not access any of it due to the magazines that were stacked in front of the music. As you stated, I started small…I went through the magazines and was honest with myself that I was never going to read them cover to cover. I tossed them. I also stopped the subscriptions I had. It was the baby steps that got me going. I ended up boxing a bunch of stuff up (only tossing the trash) and after boxing up 85% of my belongings, I went through one box at a time. Some nights I only did one box, while other nights I went through 4-5 boxes. I ended up getting rid of 45% of my stuff because I realized I no longer wanted it. I then moved into my forever home, got rid of more, and while unpacking, even more stuff went. I am not a minimalist in anyway but I am no longer a maximalist…I still have stuff (music & books) but I no longer have 6 blankets for my bed when 2 will do. I no longer have a cupboard full of mismatch dishes. Gave them all away and bought a matching set for four. It has made life so much easier. And yes, I am grateful for all that I have.
Sounds like you are on a good path!
Great advice. For me, the hardest part was getting started. Once I was going, it became really easy to let things go. Five years later, no regrets at all.
Yes, the first thing was the hardest, but got much easier as I went on. I probably let much to much go, but somehow got a bit addictive towards the end of my move. I just did not want to pack anything anymore!
😊 no regrets here as well
Wow! “Inspiration not comparison”, “focus on experiences”, “allow for exceptions”, …. This is what I needed to hear to validate some of my thinking! I’ve started some decluttering, and now am trying to figure out the next step. I don’t want to be the minimalist with 12 total possessions. It doesn’t interest me. (I love my books! ) Many things bring joy or engage memories. I’ll be keeping those. Thanks again for wise words to help validate and put things in perspective.
❤
My brain hurts now. You keep making me think...and yes, it hurts. My motivation to relieve myself of unused possessions is simple, but there are complications to making that a reality and only I can solve those, or not. I've come to the realization that every dream I have (and being a consummate dreamer, I have many), has a lifespan. My current dream of fewer possessions is more about having 'curated possessions,' than it is about just having fewer of them. I'm confident I can make this dream happen for myself...little by little. Thanks for the video, Tim. I hope your day is as lovely as mine is!
Curated possessions is a good outlook.
It is what works for each person.
Correct!
“Where you are right now is OK” Good, I’m OK 👍
I’m an organized minimalist on newer items but an organized maximalist regarding tools and household family heirlooms. Hoping my notes explaining the history/memory of the items will spur my heirs to value the items when I’m gone. Thanks for this video! I will stop beating myself up and let myself be ok with where I’m at.
I so enjoy your words of wisdom and appreciate the reminder that we must be kind to ourselves. It’s amazing that we forget to do that…as we're doing everything else. It’s a breath of fresh air to hear the stories that you’re sharing in your videos. Thanks for sharing the gratitude of life. Xo
Fantastic advice!❤ thank you for having an excellent conversational tone.❤ you have a great way of making decluttering seem more doable 😊
Tim, you're doing just fine, friend. It's ok where you are right now. 🤗
Great talk, Tim! I enjoyed it.
Great video Tim. I love this video, and the background you have chosen and the clothes you are wearing make it very calming to watch. I have been paring down my possessions for a while now. I have learnt something very interesting about myself. Whilst I have always loved the cottage vibe that has a lot of ‘clutter’ and very much a lived in look, I can’t live with it. Everything shouts at me and I feel very unsettled. I am a lot calmer with less things around me so I keep my favourites and let go of the rest. I still appreciate the cottage look in other peoples homes, just not for mine! 😊
😊
I could never be a minimalist, neither could I be a hoarder. But I am super efficient, tidy, practical, living life full of purpose, still finding time for small gestures to cheer others. I love colour, music, books, gardening in a big way, all nature, animals, painting, DIY, cooking, crafts, inventing new from old, fabrics, carpets and rugs, curtains, furniture restoration, sewing, porcelain, clocks, my home a collection of items mainly secondhand, some items handed down from grandparents. It's a good idea to nominate house clearance to someone like a young couple I know who earn a living doing just that,.
Minimalism is a daily journey. I cleaned out my kitchen drawer while my bagel was toasting. Small efforts daily. I have a bag in my bedroom and put things in it and bring it downstairs to cellar when I bring my laundry down and keep it all together until I donate. Joan
One of your best!😊
😊👍
I started to understand that when i leave this world I won’t take with me nothing. So I’m graceful for what I have now., only what I need that be ok. I like your videos thank you.
I have struggled throughout my life with all or nothing mentality being my own worst enemy. I find myself, when you look at abstainers and moderators very much an abstainer. I was very hard on myself and right now I’m going through some counseling and some coaching that helps me to let go of needing to be perfect in whatever endeavor I am undertaking.
I needed this type of conversation. Thank you for your words of wisdom ❤
In my journey I experience reducing my earthly materials in my home much the same as my health journey. Lucky for me I am by nature a person who chooses paths that have led away from black and white thinking. I discovered as a young lady the area of gray thinking forcing me to think about all sides of things - logically and realistically. It is a much more difficult path yet more meaningful.
My last frontiers in my 60's now has landed me into healthier diet, exercise, self care and lots of trips to donate excess stuff as I journey on. Lighter body, lighter eating, lighter stuff and a sense of humor feels much better than living in excess weighed down. As an artist, I create from so many sources. This takes a bunch of stuff, but, I have only so much room to play in. That makes most of my decisions for me. I am keeping it simple. 😊
Reading livingsimpletosimplylive's comment is where I have settled on as well. I like your logic, Tim. I am a deep thinker. It is easy to overthink our journeys. Sometimes we must let go to go forward. Extremes don't work for me. What I eat and what I keep both go hand in hand. It can be a struggle. And it can be fun. I am taking life lightly in so many ways. Glad to see some other folks are on this journey, too.
This message was so informative that I listened to it twice. I also liked your phrase, “mental jujitsu “!
I always feel so anxious about getting rid of things. But I am keeping at it. I have a long way to go. I loved your video. It was very calming. Thank you.
Caring & most wise words Tim & many thanks once again, for the help & encouragement needed! 😘
Great video. Listening to you as I clean out my 1st drawer. Retired 11 years ago, have done some purging but need much more. Thanks for the motivation.
I usually end up listening to your videos twice ~ first time I usually just “listen” to your voice and the second time to actually listen to the message.
❤️
Thank you so much for sharing these thoughts. You brought sunshine to my day. I just finished yet another purging and organization of my little closet. Instead of thinking I had to go through it again, I’ll celebrate the task that is done. 🎉 it’s silly how we can be hard on ourselves! But we’re ok. 😊
I watched a young woman work her way out of a hoarding situation, and refer to her new lifestyle as "minimalism." Eventually, she has come to refer to it as "simple living." It seemed so much more a fitting description. Thank you for such a common sense video. Not so "common" these days!
Yes, it is simpler. Less to think about, move around and clean or store or worry about. So much easier.
I respectfully disagree about paying extra for the more comfortable airplane seat. By ordering my priorities (and resources), I’m able to not only afford to take the trip, but travel in a seat that allows me to be relaxed and not stressed out. Enjoyed your video and am so pleased that your channel continues to grow!
Disagreeing with me is always allowed. :)
I always pay for the extra room seats. Since we don’t fly often, what the heck?
Another good message. As I go through drawers and closets I find things that I forgot about. I make a point of using it or wearing it. Things that are only slightly small I put in a box because I am actively trying to lose weight. I realized as I aged that pastels and certain colors no longer look good on me so they get donated. I have dresses with back zippers that I no longer wear because I have no one to help me zip it up. They go. Shirts and sweaters where the arms are too long or hang funny over my shoulders go. Where I have duplicates that I don't need, those things are donated. Household goods that I no longer use I sell, donate, or see if my family wants them. It is a process and I have made a game of it this year. I have a lot of left over inventory from a business that I ran for 35 years that I need to get rid of as well. I have to sell, donate, or trash at least 10 items everyday and I keep track on a spread sheet. So far I am well on my way to meet my final goal.
Good sound advice. You are a natural encourager, thanks for the good words. 🌻🍄
Great message!
Embrace progress and not perfection.
Start small and build momentum.
Consistency builds momentum.
Wise advice you have given. Thanks.
I am impressed with your wisdom today, thank you!
I have a room that I converted and call my office (son’s old bedroom). It also holds miscellaneous stuff. I finally finished the closet. The top shelf holds most of my husband’s books. The closet rod holds my dressy clothes and work outfits from too small to wear to current size. I was surprised when I organized it taking some from my bedroom closet and some from containers. Hopefully, eventually I will fit into some of these clothes. Why do I keep these clothes? Answer because I hate to shop and I’ll have something to wear when I lose weight. It works for me. On the floor on the right is a few pieces of luggage taken from the bedroom closet. In the middle two empty containers to use as I continue decluttering. On the far left, pictures in frames that I want to keep, but not necessarily hanging on any wall throughout the house. I am so happy the way it turned out. My next project, a tall four shelf bookcase with photo books, magazines, and DVDs or VCR tapes and a lot of other odds and ends. Can’t wait to tackle this.
Ugh… the clothing! I HAD the perfect, very minimal wardrobe when I lived in California. Then I moved to Louisiana and had to buy a bunch of new stuff in a desperate attempt to deal with the awful weather here (hot AND cold) and I still need to find MORE stuff to get through this summer without being so miserable. I hate it. 😭
Experiences versus stuff! Yesssss 😎
When we get to heaven, I’m going to be your neighbor. I’m about 75% complete- with my decluttering. It’s taken about six months. Things are so calm here and cleaning takes about two hours per week.
You found your new purpose / destiny‼️
dibs on the other side!!!! 😂
Great message.
Something I found helpful closetwise was to just remove a color, style or pattern I didn't feel good in and sit with that for a while. Enjoying becoming who I want to be and the life I'm creating. Not focusing on everything that needs doing or overwhelm. Same with the kitchen stuff. I cook more and that has made decisions there easier.
I'm moving today, very hectic and scary for my pets. I have them in a bedroom with your videos playing. I think they recognize your voice (from all your videos I watch) and it should give them some comfort.
❤️
That is so sweet of you to share. Good luck to you and your pets!
❤
Always good information/story from you, we love listening ro you
Great advice! When I was first minimizing my clothing, I made a list of my clothing items from memory. I then compared this list with what was actually hanging in my closet. If I had forgotten about an item and didn’t add it to the list, then I got rid of it.
You are a wise man, Tim. Thank you for another great video. I have an ongoing to do list of projects and I wrote a note to myself on it last week that says, remember to take time for rest - if I don’t get everything done now, it’s OK. I remind myself that I have been painting the inside of my entire house for the past year. It’s not getting done in a rush, but I’m taking my time and not fretting over it. I am currently working on my next to last room and I’ve saved a lot of money in labor.
My daughter is a minimalist. I am her enabling storage closet since she simply rents a room locally at the moment. 😊 I'm following the rule...one thing out, and she follows that rule as well. Oiy.😂❤
Great video! Now apply all that you said to your "decluttering extra pounds" on your weight loss journey!!!
As always, a pleasure to listen to your insights into the process of living our best lives.
❤
I was thinking this advice would be valid when we are trying to change our eating habits.
To me it goes hand in hand. I made that connection, too!
I needed this today. Thank you!
Hey Tim 👋… another great video ..thank you !
My goal is for everything to have a home, and to ultimately be IN that home! Following in my mother's footsteps, I buy things to make my life more convenient, but I never designate a home for said item. I know I have it but I can't find it when I need it, so I buy another one. So on and so on. My life since retirement has been to go through closets and cupboards and just gather all like items together. Once I've got them all, then I can divest myself of the excess, find a home for it and be confident I'll know where it is when I need it. I've found a lot of unnecessary items this way and gotten rid of them. I don't regret the chaotic life I used to have...I enjoy the new life I am creating for myself. 😊
Keeping my things in their home is my weakness. :)
Yes!😊well said
Message is on point. I may have to watch it again. Thanks.
If you don't go through all the stuff in your house, your family eventually will have no choice but to do so. Don't do that to your loved ones. My mother died a year ago. My father is in his 80s. I hope he's around for a while yet. But who knows. I don't think a day goes by that I don't dread being left alone in this house, buried in stuff that should have been gotten rid of years ago when they were both alive and healthy. It will mainly be left to me. It terrifies me.
@Yesica Look at it this way. Suppose your father outlives you and has the terrifying prospect of finding himself alone with all that stuff. Do it together now beginning with the obvious, and make it fun, improving each small area at a time. Best of luck.
@@jennywren8937 Thanks. That's how I wish it would go. It would make it so much easier for everyone. Unfortunately, every time things are getting stable with him to where I think I can present the idea, something else happens. Now his brother just died, just a few days after we marked the 1 year anniversary of my mother. So now he's struggling through that. It never seems to end! Thanks, though. Sooner or later it will have to be done. I just hope that if it is left to me, that I have the physical and emotional strength for it.
Such a great video. I hadn’t thought of the trigger issue, thank you for that.
Wonderful video. Thank you very much.
This was a great video Tim,
Love this video Tim, Very motivational !
Thank you!
well thought out Tim
What a kind message and so helpful. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the encouragement. I have way too much stuff!
Thanks for the great advice.👍
Bravo, Tim! Loved your well thought out content & great delivery. Thanks again for making it real & sharing in such a compassionate way. Lots of gold nuggets in here! Hugs 🤗 dee
Keep up all your teaching preaching and wisdom...thanks a million....
yes Tim enjoy your videos thank you
The people who shame others for having stuff are the ones who have a problem. No big deal keeping tidy here, I get a bin bag, nip round the cupboards and dump anything which looks past its usefulness, all done in 15 minutes. Making hard work of a simple process is making a mountain out of a molehill. For me, living a life without colour, artistry and appreciation of craftsmanship on all levels, would be one not worth living. Motivation and sense of purpose are easy, all I have to do is get out of the chair. I live every day as if it were may last, using everything I have to the full, before I check out thoroughly used up.❤😊
Thank you, Tim! I'm working on going through things and I wholeheartedly agree that it's a great feeling of accomplishment having tackled an area. It sort of gives some energy toward getting to the next. I always enjoy your videos.
So many great ideas and suggestions, Tim...you are surely helping so many people....baby steps lead to great results, thank you.
thanks again
You have such a soothing voice.
Thank you.
Though provoking and well said!
Wonderful video..
About once a week I like to carry a plastic bag around to my junk drawers, yes I have several, and toss out what's become useless.
I'm trying to apply minimalism to my overactive thoughts, distractions, to do list, anxieties, and social media time.
I've heard of Marie Taikwondo, but I don't ask "does this outfit bring me joy?" but rather "does this outfit bring me dates?" Haha, I kid.
i say just stop shopping , for stuff we do not need, and all will be ok. i keep what i have ,i just have what i need .i do not shop on amazon ever .i agree with you 100% very smart thinking.
Hi 👋
Thankyou for this video , so well thought out and presented. This one I will keep coming back to, I have been so hard on myself putting deadlines on myself that were just unattainable, and yes feeling guilty after..
Thanks Tim …😊
Whew! Thanks for reminding me to give myself grace! It is a journey to purge but I don't want my children to have to deal with it when the time comes for me. I remind myself every time of "why I am doing this" and it keeps me going to the next project. Thank you Tim for the awesome wise and helpful words!!
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Same with declutterring.
Very wise words ❤
Doing a great job on your channel. Love the nonsense approach. Thank you.
Brilliant perspective!
❤
Thankyou for this video it was very encouraging.... you made so many good and helpful points 😊. I am up to my hardest items now in my declutter and downsize journey 🙄
Well said brother, I really appreciate your attention to detail in how people (just like me) are wired and how to remove unnecessary stuff from our lives. Thank you.
Thanks for watching, Dave!
good info
I will probably never be a minimalist person. My home is my castle and my comfort zone. Men, I feel are minimalist at heart. What do you think a person needs mostly in this life? I grew up doing without. Trust me, it was not fun. So now I buy what I want and what I need. I’ve worked 50 years, began at 14 years old, and intend to enjoy myself with whatever I want to buy. I want to add also, I only buy what I will use of course. But with cosmetics and shampoos. It’s always a test. lol.
Right now, no travel for me. My three dogs, require a lot of attention. Two have health issues and can’t be boarded. It’s fine, as I hate vehicle traveling. Fly me anywhere and I’m happy. You are fortunate to be able to just take off. Your mom seems to be independent and healthy. So you better get traveling before it’s too late to do it!!!!
Don’t know how I got here, well yes I do, your decluttering video. I’m only 47 nowhere near retirement but here I am listening to your soothing voice. I really enjoy your videos. Not sure how many younger folks follow you but I would like a video on how you prepared for this stage of life “Retirement .” Financially and other things that helped you prepare. I’m investing in 401k and will god willing have a pension after 25 yrs of service, I’m currently at 18. I love how you love to travel and that will be my ultimate goal is to be able to travel. I also love reading some of the comments from other retirees.
Hey Tim 👋 Great Video. As I have mentioned before . . . Do L💜VE to DE-CLUTTER and to ORGANIZE ! ! ! ! One of the EASIEST 😃 Time's, is If I Am Upset. Have a Nice Day !!
😂❤
A+ on this video, Tim. So good!! I'm going to listen to this one every day for 30 days straight & possibly make a few notes! Thank you so much.💙😘💜
Thank you!
I am grateful that you are such an inspirational person. I am also grateful that you get my sense of humor in my comments. Thank you and have a wonderful day. 💕
I am grateful, too. A sense of humor goes a long way!
I agree 😊
You are so close to delivering a Christian message here, not placing emphasis on worldly goods. The message of forgiveness does start with ourselves! Look at what you do have been blessed with and being grateful for that! Finally, seeking spiritual help from our Father in Heaven who knows our needs and wants! Remember you never see a Uhaul behind a hearse! Great videos, love following you, God bless.
Wow! That is quite a thought... the UHaul behind a hearse! It is humorous and so true!
Gosh Tim, I think this one is a huge hit! You're such a wonderful speaker, but the ideals presented today (not all new- some are reinforcements from previous vids) are just so enlightening! A+ Excellent! ❤🤗
Wow, thank you!
@@TheNewRetiredMe 🌠
Nice advice. 😊
❤
Its about inventory, ask yourself how much inventory do I want to manage. Stuff takes time to manage, now that I have declutterred my home I have more time to relax.
I forget which TH-camr I heard the “manage inventory” from but since I started paying more attention to how much “inventory” we have, it has definitely helped minimize how much comes in to the house even for basics such as toilet paper and paper towels. Plus all the extras/duplicates we had of household items we sold on a local Facebook group, so we lessened our inventory and made money. WIN WIN 😊
