    I’m determined to decluttering my Christmas decorations. I’m 71, and I’m probably not going to have more energy for lugging in 10 totes full of stuff and taking three to five days to get everything displayed in future years. My goal is to get it down to 4 small easily carried totes. That way, I think I’ll look forward to the holidays instead of dreading the work ahead😊 Good video, thanks!

      @@gailwhite8796 Thank you for commenting! That’s exactly what happened to me! I always look forward to Christmas, but all the totes of decor was wearing on me. So last year, after Christmas, I did exactly what you’re planning to do.
      Fast forward to this year…it was a breeze to put stuff up and every single thing was something I truly enjoyed and valued.
      Next year, you’ll be happy you did this. If you question anything, maybe keep that stuff in a separate bin and see how you feel when you get everything out next time around. 🎄💕🌸 All the best, Bren

      Because we live in 320 square feet garage apt with a shed I downsized to one tote for Christmas.

      @ PERFECT! That fits your space and won’t be overwhelming. So good you recognized your place’s limitations and didn’t try to fit more! Happy for you!
      I have a LONG (work alongside me) organizing, decluttering and deep cleaning video coming out in the next few days. Hope you’re subscribed, so you’ll get a notification when it posts.

    Great series! We'll be decluttering when we get back, so we'll be rewatching these. We'd also love to see a video on how you sell your items on eBay. Happy Holidays!

      I will absolutely do a video on how to sell on eBay very soon! Thanks so much for the suggestion. In the meantime, I’m hoping my deep cleaning video will be out on Sunday. Fingers crossed!! I’d love it if you watched it. All the best, Bren 🌸💕

    I decluttered my spring form pan years ago and haven't missed it since. This video also makes me think I might need to declutter my bundt pan, which I haven't used in years either.

      @@antiquesrestoration3874 It’s so funny you say that, because this is the 2nd time I’ve decluttered a Bundt pan. I always imagine myself using it (I think they’re such a pretty cake shape) but the reality is that I just don’t bake that way. 😂 Hope you get to watch the first 3 videos in this series.

    You hit a nerve with the linen section. I have so many quilts and table linens. I have napkins that are brand new that we haven’t even used yet and one set that I forgot I bought. Time to reflect, for sure. Thanks for the reminder. Great tips in this video but I choose to ignore the Bundt pan section since I have a whole kitchen shelf of Nordicware Bundt pans in every size imaginable and I’m not ready to admit that it’s excessive since I still want to buy the skull and bunny pans. 😊 small steps.

      @@twonder4 I love it! Good for you on ignoring the Bundt pan section. I don’t think you should get rid of any of those! And if you want to add the skull and bunny pan, you should because those are items you enjoy and use. That’s really what it’s all about. Balance.
      But you’re totally right to part ways with the napkins that are brand new and never used…you probably will never use them. Get rid of those and make room for the Bundt pan collection. 🥰

    PP’s 😂😂 I think we all spent too much on online shopping during that time! You have my brain spinning about the duvet covers and linens, blankets are one of my weaknesses and I have SO MANY! You’ve inspired me to go through those and only keep the ones I absolutely love!

    I ran across this video on my feed, and I have to say thank you. I'm always one who declutters something random when I watch decluttering videos.
    I'm a Dungeons and Dragons player, and recently got a figure custom made. It was 3D printed by a friend. It was very kind of them to do it for me.
    However, for the second time, a figure from the site has broken on me. This is the second design that has failed to withstand a set of dice hitting it. I decided to declutter it while watching this, since I know from experience that they are too fragile for my storing habits. I have a huge amount of indestructible knockoff figures, so I'll just be using them from now on.
    I may be stuck with mostly half warthog figures, but I'll be saving money and clutter by not purchasing more things I know will break.

      I think it’s fantastic that you decluttered something fragile that won’t hold up and keep the ones that do in your collection. We often times feel a great obligation to keep things people give us, but doing what’s right for you is most important!

      @@maws1113 Awwww….yep, sounds like you and your dad had the same relationship as me and my dad. He was my best friend. It was quite a loss. I’m so happy I let go of the tools I didn’t use and kept the ones I do, because every time I use one, I remember him. The rest went to family members so they can have the same fond feelings as I do when they use theirs. Hope you get to watch the first 3 videos in this series.
