ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ส.ค. 2023
- ☘️ This is the start of an EPIC decluttering journey to streamline my ENTIRE HOME before we move back to Ireland. I'm mixing various decluttering methods, like the KonMari Method and Swedish Death Cleaning, to get the best results.

Yes, please continue with the whole house. It's helpful to see how you base your decisions about things. I like how you stop and think about them. I've been in the same house for 30+ years, so YES my house needs this too.
Funnily enough, I wondered if anyone would care about how I make my decisions. I was worried this video was too long and boring, but wanted to try it out. So this was nice feedback. Thank you. 🙂
I agree! Showing this process was really nice to watch - and very helpful. Also like how you merge all of these methods into something practically useful also. Big like! 🙃🍀
The absolute best part of any decluttering video is the thought process behind decisions. So much better than fast forwarding through it. Please do the whole house this way. :)
I’m so genuinely thrilled to hear that. 🥰 I was worried it would be terribly boring to watch.
@@HowToGYST l like it in real time too. Helps me. Thank you.
I would love a full house declutter/death cleaning/discarding/etc video. Thanks! And my bedside cabinet is so needing this declutter. I swear things have gone in there to die! 😂
It's amazing how much stuff can pile up in such a small space, isn't it? I genuinely thought this space was about as pared back as I could get. 😂
Yes I would like you to make a whole series out of decluttering your home bit by bit. It is inspiring to see how others handle decluttering in their home.
Will definitely be continuing. 💖
Full series, full series, full series. Please lol
I'm not sure if you want a full series or not... 😂
Would love to see a whole house declutter series! And I love all the chatting and details too!
I thought everyone would find the chatting and details boring. 😂 So this has been a pleasant surprise. 💖
Very delighted for you that you are contemplating a move back to Ireland.
Moving back was always the plan, but we'll see where the wind takes us. 🙂
I love how you are using little cardboard boxes, a little bowl, etc. to organize instead of buying something.
Using what I have on hand. 🙂
I can't believe that you quoted the "Good Bye Clutter" book by Susan Wright. It is my all-time favorite and started me on my journey many moons ago. Well done you.
I would appreciate a full series on the whole house. A few months ago, I seriously considered moving. I ultimately decided not to, but it made me realize I need to prepare for my eventual move. It would help me stay motivated if I could do it with you.
It’s been highly requested so I’ll definitely be doing it. Though at a snail’s pace. 😂
Yes! Please continue this video series. I started watching your video yesterday, then stopped at the part where you spoke about the fact that EVERYTHING we own will eventually wind up in a landfill. I don't know why, but this completely blew my mind! I meditated and ruminated upon this the entire day and got a lot of decluttering accomplished. Today, I went back and watched the entire video and took notes. I am new to your channel, but your videos have sparked joy in my life. Thank you so much!!!
Ooh, yes, we need a whole series of this please 😊 x
On it!
I've been feeling this way too; all of the above - whole house de-clutter. Absolutely, it's all going to end up in the trash anyway!
A sad thought but it's stopped me bringing in a LOT of extra stuff over the years.
I love the idea of creating lists AFTER you’ve decluttered a space - one for what’s still to be done in order to completely finish that space and the other for future planning. Gonna start two lists like that for myself now…
I'd like you to continue on as a series. Having watched your previous waves when you had a lot to declutter, it will be interesting to see how you go about shedding that final layer and imagining your ideal forever home when the time comes.
And, yes, please make it a whole series!
On it! 😁
Am so looking forward to this! I will be doing this right along with you. I need your voice in my ear!
I would love to follow along for the whole house. I listened while trying to clean out some of my china cabinet. 2/3rds of it is inherited with amazing memories. This is tough!
Remember, you don't have to let go of anything you're not ready to part with, so don't be hard on yourself. It's a process. I've decluttered this nightstand multiple times and thought it was as streamlined as it was going to get. But each time, I discover something new I'm ready to declutter.
Yes, please continue with this series!
You are using a variety of methods to declutter, which no one really does on TH-cam. Thinking about moving, or dying, and whether your things spark joy while you are here on this earth, in this current space, shows me a different and valuable process for my own declutter and organizing journey. I especially appreciate your thought about how everything will end up in the trash anyways, at some point. This brings grace to my moving things out of the house process, and takes away worry that things need to be taken out of the house in an orderly and careful manner. Now I can move forward and focus on tidying my home. ☺️
Would love a full series of decluttering! It would be very timely for me as we will be moving in a year or two as well. Enjoyed this video so much Laura.!😍💚
Oh, exciting! Do you know where you'll be moving to or are you still deciding?
@@HowToGYST We know we will be leaving NYC but are not sure where we’ll be going yet. Still scouting out places. Perhaps upstate or VA, NC, or PA. ?
I would love to watch a full series of this! 😃 It is so inspiring ❤
Awwww the nostalgia. I watched the first declutter in Ireland to the USA.
Feels like a lifetime ago!
I bazillionth the requests for a series. 😁
We have been saying we're moving for years. But we just signed on for another year in this apartment. This will most likely be the last year here though. My family is in TX and CT with my son putting down deeper roots in CT. My husband's family is in Wales and Yorkshire. I'll have been in this apartment for 25 years and my husband with me for the last 10 years. We want to move closer to family. No idea where that will be. 🤷 I am slowly going through things and think the lists you made will be a lot more helpful than just saying "I'll work in the spare room today.". And I do love my lists! I have been naturally decluttering my craft supplies by making things and not buying more. It's been wonderful!!
Ireland is very close to Wales and Yorkshire, and right between them and the US. 😉
Yes I would love to see how you decluter your house bit by bit. it is very inspiring and I love how you take the time to think about the objects too
I would love to come along with a whole house series for this! My daughter and I are planning a move to another state in about a year and I am embarking on just this sort of decluttering, move preparation journey myself. This has been so inspiring!
Oh, how exciting! Follow along and keep me updated on your progress. 😁
Yes continue. Crazy how much head clutter was attached to just one night stand.
Insane! Especially when I genuinely believed it was as minimalist as it was going to get. I thought I’d fly through it in a few seconds. 😂
It’s so hilarious seeing you ‘declutter’ as you’ve already been doing this for years. Our level of clutter is so vastly different….this is so helpful tho, keeps me company while I’m decluttering for the first time in 5 years in prep for a big move where I’m downsizing to about 25% of my belongings
I think the main reason this video resonated so well with me was because it focused on such a small area, which realistically should not take much time at all, with the encouragement that it is ok to take things in very very small sections. It actually got me up off my butt, despite the baseline "overwhelmed" I've been feeling lately. Luckily the situation causing that is nearing its end, fingers crossed.
My bedside "table" is actually a stack of 3 cardboard boxes, and the only one I've opened in the past several years has been the very top one. Until today. I'm not really able to do a proper declutter and find better homes for things at the moment, but I can certainly get rid of trash, and there was quite a bit more super easy decisions than I thought there would be. Did you know that candy canes can leak? I found a Jelly Belly one with candy spots where it had oozed out of the plastic and re-hardened, lol! Unfortunately the bottommost and largest box is full of obnoxiously sentimental things most of which can probably be recycled, but that is a problem I can certainly not handle at the moment, so I won't push myself. It's doing no harm taking up space for now, and at least I've gotten a peek at what I'd forgotten was there. Lots of big things I didn't want to make decisions on, and lots of little things I loved but no longer wanted to keep dusting. Whether I still love them, or have the energy to donate them or find someone who will enjoy them, is a problem for another day. I'm a bit shocked at how much trash was in there, though. Some of it was from as far back as middle school, literal garbage! Stored neatly as if it had actual value, lol!
Looking forward to your next video in this series, regardless of how big the space it's on. This was a great primer, so even if the next areas are a bit larger, I can take what I learned from this, and follow along in smaller sections at a time :)
This would be a brilliant series. :)
I'm moving across the country (US) in a few months after living in the same house for 14 years, so I'm also trying to drastically cut down my stuff. Looking forward to following along with your journey!
Exciting! Hope your move is as smooth as possible.
Yes, would love to see the whole house decluttering journey ❤
Wuhoo! Excited to see how much I can get rid of!
Hi, I love your videos and ideas! I think this is one of your best yet! Keep on doing what you do!
Yes please continue on & make a full series! I really enjoy in depth, detailed, decluttering videos such as yours, especially ones that focus on very specific areas such as your nightstand.
I often find myself decluttering with you (or trying too 😅) when I watch your videos, & in saying that, my bedroom as a WHOLE needs to be decluttered, so I really appreciate these videos that tackle specific & potentially small categories. 🙌🏼❤️
Oh yes, I've broken everything ALLLLL the way down. I'll be taking it nice and slowly.
I would love a series on decluttering a whole house - even if it takes months. We can follow along & do it with you in real time. So many videos don't really show how long some things take, and it would be fab to have something more realistic. Thank you in advance!
I think months may even be too optimistic. 😂 But I'll keep chipping away at it and see how I go. 💖
yes!! would love a full series ❤
It might take me about 7,000 years at this rate. 🤣
@@HowToGYST 😂 you said you have time before moving....I think you are doing the ultimate top notch preparation before moving, kudos, if you keep up with this it could really make your move and your next home preparation so much easier💚....I am so impressed... seriously I have hoarding issues and have been working on myself for years, inside and out, to find a way out...I am chipping away at it and reconditioning myself...
Yes, please, if you feel up to it, a full-house declutter would be great!
Going to do my very best!
I would love to see a series on this. We will be downsizing soon and although I have considered what I would like for our new home in terms of number of bedrooms, size of garden etc I never considered things like drawer space, charging spots and little things. Thankyou so much for the ideas and inspiration.
Just little things I’m noticing as I go. 🙂 Finally deciding to put them all in a list so they’re in one place.
I found you years ago during your 1st round of Kon Mari (I believe you were near your end of the first round and about to start a second round). I was starting my first round at that time and created playlists of others doing the stage I was on to have them working along with me and sharing tips.Thank you!
I would absolutely love for you to continue this series!!!! I will be decluttering and simplifying along with you.😊
Love your videos, Laura!! 😊 One thing to mention about the wireless charger - I used to think like you, that a wireless charger was not super useful. Then one day, I dropped my phone in water and it was at like 1% battery life (of course). Had I not had the wireless charger, I would’ve been in trouble!! Thanks again for your helpful tips!! 😊 ☘️
This is very helpful - keep it going! I really like the mix of all the decluttering methods and the questions you are asking yourself.
Looking forward to this series. Luvin’ how you talk through your decisions. That is the best part!
I bet you're real glad you have been decluttering for a while already!
Right?! Can you imagine how much work I’d have to do otherwise?! 😰
This is great!! I'm sorta doing the same thing, anticipating a move from California to the Midwest in about a year-and-a-half. Throw in some Swedish Death Cleaning because the house I'm living in had belonged to my parents before they passed, so there's lots of work to be done. Yes! Laura, please! If you're up to it, continue the series. I know I would find it very helpful. Hugs from the southern California desert, MK 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗
Thank you for this…. We MIGHT be moving, next summer… And I’ve been letting go of things… and this video is helpful. 😊👍🏻 Yes Please, make a series.
Ooh, would you be moving far?
Yes, From Ontario Canada, to Nova Scotia Canada.
Yes, please make a full list out of it! i loved to see you decluttering your nightstand. (Me, watching: oh, now she can fit all the pyjamas in the nightstand drawer. She will do that, won't she? Won't she?)
Also happy for you for your plans of moving back to Ireland! 💚
The drawers are pretty shallow, unfortunately. The main problem with my pyjamas is that I also have some bulky, fluffy pairs that won’t fit in. Lack of drawer space in general is an issue. Definitely a NEED in the new house but will make do with these boxes for now.
I have an apple charging station for my phone, watch and earbuds and I absolutely love it because all that needs to be plugged in is the station and my iPad!
Thanks, Laura, to be how you are. We moved to a new house 2 years ago and I never considered myself as a minimalist (I am still not ...). I set one rule and I really stick to it so far - if I don't have a space for it, the item is not coming into the house. It is still a challenge with all the gifts we got and some stuff we brought thought. You keep inspiring me to get on it and get rid of the clutter.
Oh yes, even if you yourself don't bring stuff home it's amazing how much sneaks in anyway. That's a good rule.
I am in a different stage of life but will also be moving within the next near or two, from one senior apartment to another in a different state. My name is on a waiting list, so have to wait for a unit to come available. In the meantime, I will be decluttering as much as possible. The plan is to take no furniture, just personal belongings, and of course, my roommate (a French Bulldog!) 😊
You’ll be SO glad you did all that work when the time comes to move. 👏 Best of luck!
This episode is awesome bc we are getting ready for a move in 3 to 5 years! Thank you!
Oh, fun! We can declutter together!
I’m happy to watch the whole house declutter so I can do it alongside you. I’m off to do my bedside cabinet now!
Yay! Good luck!
A whole house Declutter seems like a fabulous idea. I’d love to do it alongside you. Just started on my bedside table too. Although mines not quite as streamlined as yours, I’m pretty darn happy with the results.
Mine has been a long process to get it this streamlined. But if yours works for you, that's all that matters. 💖
Love the inspiration! Those four questions based on peicing together those various decluttering perspectives/methods... absolutely brilliant! 👏 I'm feeling ready for this, prepping my house for our move that got sidelined twice (life happens😳)... I'm at the point where the next "life happens" moment is going to be us moving to a better house for our family's needs ❤️♾️❤️ I've decided! And, if I'll be prepping financial & location decisions about that, I want to be prepping for the physical move & spatial decisions too😎 Thank you!
yes! show it all! I've been doing the exact same thing. So far I've done the whole kitchen, the linen closet and the coat closet. I am amazed by the amounts I got out of each! none of the spaces even seemed cluttered, that's why I thought doing those first would be an easy win but nope... took a whole day.😂 but well worth the time spent.❤
Go you! Those are AMAZING spaces to have tackled. Massive wins. 🥳
My house is driving me crazy so I looked at your reading list and am finally (very late to the party here) reading “The life-changing magic of tidying up”. I will do little bits as I go along because I know I’d get totally overwhelmed if I put all of one item in one space e.g. clothes.
I will read the other books too and find what works for me. I’m a bit (lot 🤦♀️) of a hoarder and sentimental, gifts and guilt will definitely be my struggles.
Finishing the job is definitely key and I know I will be taking several trips in lots of different directions too.
Thanks for all the helpful tips and yes I’d love to see this in a series. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️👏💪👍🙏💐🐕🦺
I would love to see your entire house process! It it motivating.
Totally here for the entire series!
💃
I cleaned my nightstand today & decided to completely dismantle it so I can't collect clutter again. 😂
Also that LotR lamp is awesome!
😂 That’s the ULTIMATE decluttering flex!
@@HowToGYST I'm hoping I keep the same energy as I go through the house 🤞🏻😂
This is our last weekend in our current house and we still have so much to move! In my future home I do not want traditional lamp shades as they gather so much dust, I do not want furniture with grooves that gather dust/crumbs. I am so grateful to my past self for years of decluttering, downsizing and stemming the flow of things entering our home. Great to hear you're planning on moving back to Ireland. Hopefully, we'll have a home by then and I'll invite you for a cuppa! Regarding eye masks, check out Maeb Enamels.❤
Ah, the very best of luck with the move! I'm at that age now where I see things online or in store and I'm like, "Jaysus, you'd spend your life dusting that." 🤣
Yes, I will like you to make a series of whole house declutter.
This is not the basic or standard sorting and purging, it is definitely more refine.
Thank you 😀
Thanks so much. I didn’t think people would find it interesting because it’s a much slower pace.
Yes please for a full series!! Love how you went thru your process and thoughts. I love my wireless charger, it’s set up permanently with the (long) cable down the back or the chest of drawers so you can’t really see it, it’s a really nice design so looks great, kind of like a coaster and I just plonk my phone on it at night to charge. Simple and tidy. We also have a charging station downstairs that’s kind of like a toast rack - not wireless - for mobiles, iPads, kindles etc with the cables nice and tidy.
Oh yes, there are lovely wireless chargers you can get. Those make much more sense because they’re basically part of the decor. 🙂
Just keep going with the whole house and the three intention questions. I drilled a hole in the back of a large jewelry box and use that as a covered up charging station. It might work out for your bathroom.
Cool idea!
I have made up a list of things to do in every room and even my outdoor storage…which is full. I am now trying to figure out which to do first. I want to start with the shed but it has been so hot that I’ve had to start inside…which leaves me with a stack of items to go out to the shed. Ugh! But I am determined to get through my house by the Thanksgiving holiday. I like your thoughts & questions to ask yourself as you go through things. I’ll write up a similar list to help remind me why I really need and want to do a whole house declutter. One thought on the wireless charger…I do love mine. I can set my phone on it without having to plug or unplug it. I have it next to my bed for emergencies (adult kid’s & grandchildren…they will always need their Mama 😉). My iPad and computer stay in the main living room.
Love this so much, I’m DESPERATE for a full series! I’m actually going to do the same. Similar to you I’m emotionally ready to move but have a few years wait so great idea to start a list of thing’s for the future home 😀
Yes please do continue (if you like the idea yourself of course) I really like the idea and it inspires me to do the same. Thanks!
Aw, I'm so glad it's been inspiring. Will definitely continue.
I 🧡 you! 😄
My decluttering method list is similar, but longer - and a bit more complicated. 🙃
Part KonMari Method
Part Swedish Death Clean
Part Moving declutter
Part The Art of Discarding
Part Silent To-Do List
Part Packing Party
Part 2023 Items in 2023
Part Take it There Now
Part recovering from low self esteem, poor mental health… and Hoarding Disorder
Part embracing my neurodivergence and practicing healthy coping *skills*
Part AWESOME. 👏 Just be sure you don't overwhelm yourself. 💖
@@HowToGYST
haha Thanks for that. ✊🧡
And ohhh… LIFE is providing enough overwhelm as it is, so I’m trying not to blame myself for it as best I can. 😅 (I know what you meant 💝 I just had to put a twist on it.)
Your spaces look pretty neat and empty already at the start. Yet you cleaned them and made them even more empty.
I would love to have the motivation to do so myself :)
You don't need motivation, you just need to take action. 😉
Ireland???? Yaaayyy!!!!!
Eventually. 🤞
A series would be great! I would try to keep up your pace - I'm ready! Thank you for the videos, so helpful and love your style. 💕
The pace will likely be very slooooow. 😂
@@HowToGYST which suits me just fine 🤗
@@HowToGYST Yesss! You say "slow", I say "easy to follow along with"! :D
Oh yes ,, make more videos about this subject.
I like making use of the wireless chargers! I've also had an iPhone and an iPad for years, and with daily use and whatnot, some charging cords have taken a beating, haha. But I have a wireless one set up at my desk for my phone so I can free up the regular charging cord for my iPad by my bed (which is an old model and needs to be plugged in constantly but I refuse to replace while it still works). I still have a cord in my car and in my travel kit, but I've watched enough phone batteries die on me that having all the charging methods available brings me so much joy, LOL
I can help with the sleep mask! Manta Sleep masks are so brilliant, I've got two of them so that when one is being washed I don't have to try anything else (aka inferior). They are not the prettiest masks, but they look fine. Where they win hands down (and they're not paying me for this!) is functionality. So dark, so soft around the eyes, so comfortable to wear. I cannot recommend them too highly. Hope that helps.
In return, perhaps, maybe you will make that whole series of All the Declutterings of the house/life on video, please? I would love to watch that because I find it helpful to see you reflecting as you declutter. I have an epic declutter ongoing and this would help me a lot.
Please continue the series!
It’s happening! 😁
This is a great idea to start now for your move.
I over-minimized my youtube subscriptions but have found you again. Glad to be back and get caught up! Keep on with the whole house please 😊
Wireless charging comes in handy especially if the charging port on your phone stops working. Mine did and I had to get a new phone because I couldn't charge my phone It was my only way to communicate with my family.
Good point!
I am so keen on the idea of the series!
Yay! Thank you!
Hi Laura - delighted you're planning to come back 2 Ireland 🎉
Loved the vid & would be v happy 2c more - they do inspire me greatly 👍 which having recently moved to a bungalow without being able to anything like completely declutter is an ongoing task for 1 poorly old lady who has little energy! 😮 May you & your family be blessed mxxx
I don't know what prices are like in Ireland, but if I were moving just out of state, I wouldn't move much of anything except my clothes and stuff that I couldn't replace easily. It's too expensive to move all of that stuff. For the cost of moving it, I could buy new.
I just checked how much it would cost to move to Ireland from the US and the minimum calculation was about $6,000. I suspect that only counts if you're living on the east coast. I could replace all of my furniture for that. If you aren't living in New York, add in the cost of moving your stuff to the coast for shipping overseas. For me, that's another $6k-$9k. So, it would cost me $12,000 minimum to move house to Ireland. Nope. I would be giving everything away and replace it when I got there.
Not sure what calculator you used but I can assure you we didn't pay anywhere near that price when we moved to the US from Ireland. We didn't bring much furniture at all (and won't be bringing much back). Usually transatlantic prices are based on container, so you pay for the shipping container and then you fit whatever you can in there.
Full series please
Will you continue with your TH-cam channel after you move to Ireland?
Absolutely! No plans to quit.
That is one stressed out looking 🐕 😊. Enjoyed the video
She’s very confused by the vacuum cleaner. Doesn’t know what to make of it. 😂
@@HowToGYST I was just referring to Jovie lying on her back on the bed looking like she doesn’t have a care in the world
Please be careful not to have the chargers plugged in all the time. That can start a fire. ☹️
And also I believe that the moisture in the bathroom will be bad for your phone.
Good ideas otherwise.
Merry Christmas! 🎄
After this video, I will be decluttering my nightstand, too!
Brilliant! 👏
For safety it’s not advisable to charge devices in enclosed spaces like cabinets or drawers. They can overheat and you may not notice wear and tear on cords that are behind the drawer.
Another concern would be that some charge cords are actually much different quality. Some cheap cords don’t have the same number of wires and capacities, (some will charge but are not usable to transfer data) so just beware of things like this as you declutter cords.
I love your peaceful approach to decluttering and making life more manageable.
Oh yeah, I always leave the drawer open when charging, and the cords get checked regularly. This isn’t where I’d normally charge most things, just anything that might need a little bit of juice for a few minutes before bed.
@@HowToGYST So glad to hear!
Oh you detailed list maker you. 🙂❤️
Listers gotta list. 💃🏼😉
Love your Sesame Street t-shirt.
Thank you! Haven’t worn it in a while but as soon as I put it on I knew it was a keeper. 😂
Lord of the rings is great. I would always wear a green frodo shirt when me and my husband first started dating. ❤ Back when my clothes were fun.
#MakeClothesFunAgain 😉
@@HowToGYST 🤣 my daughter is like a mini me. She is carrying on the fun now that I am the boring one. 😁
🔥
🥰
Not gonna lie.... Your before was amazing
🙂
😂 I really didn't think I'd get rid of anything from here. The original plan was to do the whole master bedroom in one video. And then I was surprised that this small space alone produced results. I mean, it's not exactly a huge amount of stuff, but it made an impact all the same. So I'm interested to see how the rest of the spaces will go!
If you want to do a test, call the alarm company and tell them you are testing the battery first.
We had the same thing when I pressed by mistake WHILE changing the darn battery.
I think our unit has a “test” mode on it. But yes, I’m always paranoid about setting it off by accident. That’s why I keep it in the drawer and not stuck to the side of the nightstand or anything. I just know I’d end up elbowing it in my sleep. 😂
I just feel like I'm on a hamster wheel of life. I made new goals and started over again today.
I think we're all on the same wheel. 😉 Good luck with your new goals! What's something on your list?
@@HowToGYST he I have ditch 50+ items today. 😁😁
Anyway that space by space list could be made available as a template? Or is this already available through your course?
This one is VERY specific to my home so will be largely irrelevant to most people. But easy enough to create your own if it’s something you’re interested in. 🙂 I just started by listing out each room/large space (bedrooms, hallways, closets, etc.) and then looked at all the furniture, rails, shelves, etc. in each one.
@HowToGYST thank you for the direction. I've made myself a list for the konmari method but I think I'd end up doing myself more of a service if I decluttered small section by section
You'd probably like a floating bedside table in your next home if you don't plan to reconfigure the layout.
It's a possibility. As long as it has a drawer. I like my stuff out of sight.
The bedside cabinet is almost as bad as the cord drawer! It’s important to be near your family when they are old. Good luck with your choice
Not sure my parents count as old. 😂 But yes, it’ll be nice to be near them again.
Never got the skull thing… trend. Could someone explain?
They're used to celebrate the Day of The Dead, or generally to commemorate ancestors.
If you move to Ireland, will you take your loyal fans for a tour, when we visit?😊
Prepare to be SICK of Ireland. 🤣
Why are you moving?
Just looking at you putting your kleenex back in your nightstand. I have allergies; there's no way that I would shove the box to the back of the drawer where I couldn't get to it.
Oh I can get to it pretty easily. 🙂
I don't get wireless chargers. I can't use the phone when it needs to be on the charger. 🤷🏻♀️
I can use mine with the portable battery pack I showed but it’s obviously more awkward.
Yeah I would love to see what you do and get rid of. But film in a way that doesn't hold you back or make it too hard on yourself.
Filming means the process take SOOO much longer. 😂 But at least then I can upload the video and make money for my troubles. 😉🤣
@@HowToGYST yeah but you go all out on filming and editing. Maybe you could pick up the camera and grab some shots or commentary during the process but not have to film/ edit the whole thing. Like before and after and maybe a few snipits of during with your thoughts process or updates. Like make it an entirely different format vibe. Definitely at least take before and afters of each area regardless of "filming." It. Even if just for yourself. 🙂
As much as I love the idea and look of a charging drawer, please do some research into the safety of it. I have heard that they can be a fire hazard as chargers and devices often give off a lot of heat when charging. Also using cables while they are packed in loops is supposedly also a fire hazard. I will not outright say, that the way you have it set up is dangerous because I don't know that much about it, but I have read too many headlines of fires being started by overheated or faulty chargers to ignore this. Please research this yourself.
Yeah, I’ve heard the same. It’s why I no longer charge anything overnight. Not worth the risk.
