I have been minimal going on 5 years. I can’t imagine living any other way. I have developed a huge decluttering muscle, it’s gotten so huge, my husband often teases me he is afraid I will declutter him 😂 It gets so easy, I really have not many attachments to THINGS, except what I really need I think my family realizes this, I got the best Mother’s Day gift, a gift certificate to have any food delivery of my choice, yay one night no cooking
I am happy to report that today I began the terrifying challenge of decluttering my paperwork. Started in my desk, then my strong box, moved to my one file drawer and then to a cube in my storage closet that is stuffed with paper stuff. I’m not finished yet, but another day or so it will be done. Then I can start shredding while listening to an audiobook. This is something that I have been dreading…. So happy to get it almost over….. also wondering just how many bags of shredding will evolve! ..lol…
Hi :) I would love to live in a camper :) I live in a tiny flat that I rent for now :) I decluttered a lot :) I feel fine with the few left that I feel to keep for moving forward :) so I felt it will help the moving when ready for it and when I could of course, step by step :)
I recently did another round of de-cluttering my kitchen, and donated a load of cutlery I never used. Now my cutlery tray isn't overflowing, and I can see the bottom of my drawers, and everything in them without shifting things around.
Hi :) to be honest, with time, I realise I even do not use wallet and purse since years :) I even declutter a lot of fidelity shop cards :) and just felt to put bank card, bus card, and little coins in a little tiny bag too :) that can fit sunglasses etc :) more we declutter, we feel lighter to have less to bring around too in fact ;) (sorry for my mistakes in English :) native French speaker ;) I admire how you do a youtube channel and your amazing work and a mama ! I have matter to focus sometimes.. so decluttering help me as I can feel stressed when too much ideas infos.. but I have so many ideas I want to organise create.. so declutering is what help me to organise and put clarity order and calm in my mind step by step, thank you for sharing sincere story that confort those passing in these steps too ;)
Robin - regarding the photo on your desk. Get you one of those that you can upload photos to and it will rotate a bunch of photos through but with only 1 frame!
I went backwards over an open dryer door and got the same injury. I had no short term memory for months, though. I had post concussion syndrome that lasted about a year. All of my senses were either hurting or overwhelmed. Now I am the same way with too much input, my brain just nopes out and can't process things. I'm glad I found this.
Crazy and true. My new dryer has a much higher door. That was one of the main selling points for the new one. Its door is all the way to the top of the machine so that will not happen again. I couldn't believe it happened to me, even crazier to find someone else it happened to. It's definitely life altering. Be well!
Me too with the concussions I got hit by a car when I was four my brain swelled and they had to bring me back To life 4 times same with friends and focusing and I don’t have a volume control on my emotions but my challenges are different as I am also autistic. So glad to see someone who has lived in a chaotic space. I’m subbing ❤️
I have become increasingly bothered by clutter/chaos as I’ve gotten older, and pretty ruthlessly keep my desk cleared of anything I don’t need at that moment when I’m working from home. Building a house has been super motivating - I’m so thrilled to be here that I happily spend a little time each morning before work making the bed and tidying the place. (A bit of synchronicity - I fell off a kitchen counter when I was four weeks old and fractured my skull. My mother likes to joke that if it hadn’t been for that maybe I could have gotten two doctoral degrees instead of just one. 😆)
I feel like my mindset has shifted a bit lately towards material items because I do not feel as much attachment to stuff as I used to and therefore stuff/clutter becomes less meaningful to me and letting go feels SO GOOD :)
You have such inspiring videos! I have that LuLu Lemon pack in black. Jenn with “With Wonder” here on You Tube mentioned the pack in a gift giving video around Christmas last year. I bought one for each of my 3 daughters and then I went ahead and got one for myself. I use it almost everyday. I am a purse lover though so I do have a few other purses in my closet in case I need to switch out though.
Ohhh I love the mini purse fanny pack! I’m 42 as well! Lol I need something light weight and hands free since I have terrible back issues and can’t carry heavy things! Where did you get it?? ❤️❤️ Love the video too!
I don’t do chaos .. no job, no material good is worth stress. #1 cause of medical intervention are stress inducing issues and inflammation within the body.

Sounds like a great gift!!
Bless you for being an ER nurse!
Aw, thanks Alannah!

I stopped this video and tackled my tiny living space. We're in a camper but it's all tidy again. Thanks for the motivation.
Yay! Thanks Holly!

I love watching you ❤ you’re so real and relatable
I exclusively use my Eddie Bauer Fanny pack bag and sold all the purses I had! It helps relieve neck/shoulder pain and I only carry the essentials.
Nice!!

Can I just add I love the tea names on the membership levels! :)
Awww, thanks!!
You are delightful, and I bet you're a wonderful nurse!
Aw, thanks Jody!

They're so cool, but I'm afraid they would distract me with the variety of cuteness!!
Robyn, you are awesome! You are so fun! Thank you for your uplifting videos. I love them.
Thank you very much Michelle!

I can relate being hyperactive, chatty, bullied, hard to make friends, ADHD. I have a hard time with candles, cause of the scents
Yep, school was definitely hard!

Oooh, that sounds really nice. It’s great to spend some time with yourself and taking care of your environment
Love it ! thanks for the video!
Thanks Traci!

Yay Lena! That’s awesome!
@@MinimalistHome Thank you for your inspiring videos I enjoy watching them so much :)
I agree, I feel the same way
Last night was first time I decluttered a drawer in a dream. ...and it only took about 20 seconds.
I think my brain is finally reprogrammed.
Hahaha, I LOVE this!
😆 This is amazing!
Great info as usual! Thanks for being so real and sharing that you still have your days of clutter brain LOL
Thanks jean!!

Yes, I actually bought one in pink too!! Shhhhh
Love your new sling bag. Could you please share the brand? 😁 Excellent tips!
Thanks Tamara, it's Lululemon
You could wear that bag on a dance floor!!
hahaha
Ohhh I love the mini purse fanny pack! I’m 42 as well! Lol I need something light weight and hands free since I have terrible back issues and can’t carry heavy things! Where did you get it?? ❤️❤️ Love the video too!
Totally!! I got it at Lululemon
I thought I was the only one with a CAT spray bottle on my desk! 😂
haha! We NEED it, hey Michelle!
