ugh when TH-cam glitched I was saying THANKS for going on this journey with me 🥹💐 Also: been thinking about livestreaming while i do my lil art projects or science experiments - what do y'all think?
@@taylor3950 I did the exact same thing! I was like I knoooow I can't be the only one who caught that lil diamond 💎 she just dropped. "Decluttering the idea of yourself"...whew I feel like I'm in therapy! Thanks for the free session Evelyn 😅
Hey, I’m 20, so like mid-Gen Z. These are some things I find nostalgic: Barbie Dreamhouses, Wii Sports Resort, Pokémon cards, the Littlest Pet Shop toys, Cooking Mama on DS, and Monster High Dolls
You’ve been inspiring me and helping me hold myself accountable. I’ve DEEP cleaned my bathroom. I’ve cleaned my kitchen. I’ve organized my desk area. There is my utility closet, clothes closet, and storage unit as my last projects. After grieving the loss of my mother and being depressed for three years it’s been an absolute struggle. You sharing your mental health struggles has been so transformative. Giving myself grace has been an ongoing process.
Evelyn, put your tamagotchi on your keys!! I bought one and never activated it because I have a living tamagotchi called a kid so I just have it on my keychain. It’s my emotional support nostalgic item. It’s also a convo starter. People love seeing mine lol.
You killed me with the skateboard. "Am i over the weight limit? ALWAYS. Keep!" 🤣🤣🤣 Same girl, same. You should become depressie-besties with TracieMae here on TH-cam. She is HILARIOUS and sings a lot of silliness like you! 💕
Gen Z here! Things that make me nostalgic are Gameboys, Nintendo DS Lisa Frank stuff, Baby Phat clothing, Apple Bottom clothing and like lava lamps and house phones haha.
To answer your question about projects: I do 2 things: 1. I have a page in my journal for the current active projects. That helps me visualize how many. I try not to be judgemental about what is on there. Every once in a while I rewrite/draw it if it's feeling stale and that helps me understand if the project is still important/interesting to me. 2. I hold crafting nights at my house. I invite a group of folks over, provide snacks, and we all work on our own projects. Some folks do the same project every time, my ADHD does not allow that so I just go with whatever I'm excited about that day.
I love the idea of crafting nights. I have so many crafts that I start then don't finish. I think I'm going to start this with my friend group. Maybe a little glass of wine, some snackies, good friends, and crafts!
“Am I ready to give up on her?” WOW, that whole anecdote about decluttering an idea of yourself really resonated with me. I’m going to use that as a check point the next time I need to purge.
For my craft cabinet I do "Are you actually excited to work on this?" vs "does this item vaguely stress you out" and get rid of all the stressful ones. When it's just stuff I'm excited to work on, I actually will.
I actually muttered the Marie Kondo "Does this spark joy?" line at some point while watching this video 😅. I meant it just to be funny but then I see your comment and you know what? I like that approach. I also have seen more than my fair share of Hoarders episodes to also be careful of the "Maybe I'll get to it some day" fallacy. Maybe I will, but likely I won't.
OMG! I didn't know body doubling was the name for the thing I do! I was in the middle of decluttering when I saw you posted this video. I was like: Perfect, I can clean while she's cleaning. I do this with cooking and other things too. Thought it was just me!
“Declutterring is NOT the same as reorganizing” that literally blew my mind 🤯. I actually feel like I can tackle all the areas I’ve been avoiding now 😊 i frickin love you girl!!! You’re absolutely amazing!
Tamagotchi looks like a potential keychain, tbh. The deep bond with the things we buy with our adult money for our inner child is strong. Sparkly enamel pins was a big things at some point for me. And nobody could get me to get rid of the lego boxes, or gameboy games boxes (yes, all empty). I wanna be buried in a coffin made of these. (... ok, that's actually a cool idea) Love to follow along your journey. Thank you for making these. Great body doubling indeed, and even brain doubling i would say.
Omgawd 😭 You just unlocked sumn with that ‘buying things with our adult money for our inner child is strong’ (paraphrasing)…never thought of it that way…very insightful, especially if you grew up struggling, but made it to the other side as an adult….thank you so much those words!💛
I just have to say you were made to be a creator and TH-camr, I have never felt more confident about this than with you girl. Just found you recently and I am so happy I did!
Maybe label each self with a 'use by' date. Then if they stuff is still there when the shelf expires, OUT IT GOES to trash/recycling! P.S. You're the best.
Maybe you could use the cubby you freed up as your new projects shelf instead of the ikea ladder shelf? I feel like the shelf by the door is well placed though but maybe better for decor or displaying cameras? (Round rock daiso sells these cute clear acrylic boxes perfect size for cameras and keeps them free from dust) because maybe the ikea ladder shelf is so prominent in the room it feels like your undone projects are mocking you or drawing your attention away from what you’re currently working on!
11:11 lemme start by saying I do _not_ have a consistent long term system, but I have recently found that going through and reorganizing, or even just occasionally holding, things that are on "the shelf" helps things to get moved through more quickly and not sit there for months. I also made a list of my ongoing (mostly intangible) projects on my whiteboard since I look at it daily and it's easily changeable. That helps give me direction when I'm stuck for something to do as well.
I had to pause the video at the nice ribbon from a shopping bag, because I have the same exact one! I kept it for years and finally made a craft out of it recently.
Yayy a long video! I love watching your videos. They bring me so much joy. You’re hilarious! I didn’t realize you posted another blog because it’s not on your main “videos” page. I had to go to the Playlists section to find it.
I go through the same thought process when I am decluttering 😅 and yes as an art girly it is hard to know where to put all the little in progress project things 🫣
Never heard someone who pronounces washcloth the way you do and it’s honestly the best thing I’ve ever heard. Gives my a little chuckle each time I love it :)
I don't even watch declutter/cleaning videos at all but I'm all the way here for your declutter series! You make these kinds of videos so fun to watch. You'll always be one of my fave creators!
Every bin you empty from the cube storage (e.g. fidget spinners) put one of your projects in it, label it and put it on your ikea shelf with a due date, maybe 6 months. If you havent done or dealt with the project by then, donate the project.
i CACKLED when you decided to put that blockbuster game in the keep. Good on you! I love a good 'I gotta remind myself what I got in my home and keep it' declutter sesh. I'm in that tribe- we got us!
I loved this video soooo so much Evelyn! I related to most of the things you said, I felt so understood! Entertaining but also inspirational for self awareness. Time flew by watching this :)
I love love love the idea of adding a calendar event for craft projects and hobbies in order to use less screen time. You’ve inspired me to do the same! I’m gonna even make sure it shows up on my phone so I can hopefully catch myself next time I’m doom scrolling
I’m a 2005 Gen Z and when I think of my childhood I think of the Barbie movies, littlest pet shops, pillow pets, leapfrog tablet, and I think that’s all my brain is gonna give me for right now lol
Shoutout Dr Pepper bois one time I gotta go through my shit in the next couple weeks, before I move apartments at the end of July. It's just so wild (and kinda gross) how much I accumulated between now and when I moved into my current place two years ago.
I was having a bad day today, but this video drastically improved my mood by making me belly laugh several times! Thank you for your content and for being you ❤
If you decide to get rid of the tomagotchi I’ll buy it from you or you can donate it to me. 😃I had a gigapet a couple years ago and it got wet and sadly could not be saved 😞
The print on those dust bags are really pretty! Maybe turn them into pictures? Invest in a staple gun if you don't have one (or just some really, really good glue 😂) and frame them. With some white or gold frames, they would look cute. Edit: Whoops, commented too soon! You already have a (more practical) use for them 😂
Oh friend, this was uncanny seeing conversations I've had with myself play out in this video. I both feel seen and heard (and a little spied on) and also, you're doing great and yeah, sometimes the organization that exists isn't what you need. Also yay visible storage. That's been Changing.My.Life in terms of remembering I have/want to do things. (also, if you crack the code on not using whatever surface as an accidental accumulation stuff for "whatever"..... give us all a hand!) I just did a work/craft shelf reorg this past weekend, and you're channeling the energy i had for that.

ugh when TH-cam glitched I was saying THANKS for going on this journey with me 🥹💐 Also: been thinking about livestreaming while i do my lil art projects or science experiments - what do y'all think?
i'd be there
Do it girl witchyo lil drinky drink on the side
Yes pls 🙏🏾
Id watch that. Prolly not live but def the replay 🎉
yessss I’d love to see that
'decluttering the idea of yourself" is LITERALLY SO PROFOUND. I'm going to think of that the next time I declutter because I relate to that so much.
I second this, relate so much! ♥️
She dropped a major gem 💎 when she said that. Wow. 🤯
Yeah I immediately had to scroll to the comments. I need help unpacking that like I need help unpacking my boxes 😭
@@taylor3950 I did the exact same thing! I was like I knoooow I can't be the only one who caught that lil diamond 💎 she just dropped. "Decluttering the idea of yourself"...whew I feel like I'm in therapy! Thanks for the free session Evelyn 😅
Same. I was like wait…🤯🤯
Do you ever feel….. like a plastic bag, inside a plastic bag, inside a PLAAASTIC BAG? 😂🎵🎤 imma need you to drop the remix
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bagception!
I had a mild existential crisis when she sang that because…sometime I do feel that way, I just didn’t have the metaphor…just me? Nvm…
When Evelyn said that, my husband and I (in separate rooms, I didn't even know he was listening) simultaneously replied, "Yes." 😂 #eldermillenials
Not trying to pay the copay 😂😂😂 yes girl, stay out of that urgent care
She was also on smooth, hardwood floor, zero texture. That was an ER visit in the making for anyone 😅
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley lol yes the ER.

"decluttering the idea of yourself"...damn, but you right lol
i rewinded that "inside a plastic bag, inside a plastic bag" part so many times 😭 i need someone tech savvy to clip that for me
I want her to make it a short so, I can watch it over and over again!
I clipped it and posted it because it's iconic AF. 😭
Evelyn, put your tamagotchi on your keys!! I bought one and never activated it because I have a living tamagotchi called a kid so I just have it on my keychain. It’s my emotional support nostalgic item. It’s also a convo starter. People love seeing mine lol.
Your kid as a living tamagotchi is wild! Yet accurate 😂😂😂😂
"Have I scrapbooked? No. But I believe in myself- *laughter*" i had to rewatch that because its so funny and relatable 🤣
You killed me with the skateboard. "Am i over the weight limit? ALWAYS. Keep!" 🤣🤣🤣 Same girl, same.

Can you do a Science with Evelyn series!? Would love to see that and you'd get to finally use the science kits...!
Why don’t you make some of these task a video idea?? Scrapbooking, science tings, etc.
I don’t know why “based off what?” Was so funny to me 😂😂😂
I’m SO glad you kept the skateboard & the Blockbuster game. I was stressing lol
edit: omfg not the skateboard 😩😭
I know! 🥲
Tamagotchi looks like a potential keychain, tbh.

This is the best and most relatable decluttering video I've ever seen the notebooks had me laughing "Ugh lines" 🤣
I just have to say you were made to be a creator and TH-camr, I have never felt more confident about this than with you girl. Just found you recently and I am so happy I did!
I’ve lowkey grown with you. Always enjoy watching and listening to your content.
omg the journal montage is fucking hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂
If Evelyn aint a 90s kid...I dont know who is!
the lined page notebook shade is so real
I would love to see you do the experiments as videos I wanna nerd out I love stuff like that.
Maybe label each self with a 'use by' date. Then if they stuff is still there when the shelf expires, OUT IT GOES to trash/recycling! P.S. You're the best.
your decluttering videos are so relaxing and comforting for some reason. keep em comin sis
30:16 That wall board in the background.... "*Allegedly" had me rollin.
"You're not decluttering stuff; you're decluttering the idea of yourself" This is sooooo true!!
"you're decluttering the idea of yourself."..hit harder than anything this week so far...cuz why is this so true?
Maybe you could use the cubby you freed up as your new projects shelf instead of the ikea ladder shelf?

Evelyn: here, a new declutering video
Me: OMNOMNOM
I cleaned out my basement today and when I rested I watched this!
“Not trying to pay that copay” lmaooo
Yes Evelyn I was body doubling and using this to organize the hair products and accessories in my bathroom closet. Thank you for your service. 😄
Here I was waiting until Thursday and lo and behold! 😂🎉
Omg thank you for this! I needed something to motivate me to tackle my clutter!!!!!!!
Yayy a long video! I love watching your videos. They bring me so much joy. You’re hilarious! I didn’t realize you posted another blog because it’s not on your main “videos” page. I had to go to the Playlists section to find it.
You are Awesome!!! Thx for making me smile & laugh today😊❤
Shoutout to all the progress 🙌🏾
This one got some sinister laughs outta me. Whew lmao
I go through the same thought process when I am decluttering 😅 and yes as an art girly it is hard to know where to put all the little in progress project things 🫣
the heinz stickers are genius
Gen Z here, what's nostalgic to me is a BRATZ doll head lol and the game Twister BUT SPECIFCALLY THE JESSE MCCARTNEY version lol.
I wish I was near to get those lined journals!
Never heard someone who pronounces washcloth the way you do and it’s honestly the best thing I’ve ever heard. Gives my a little chuckle each time I love it :)

Always so excited to see your face! Guess I'll go home and start decluttering too, lol!
Gen Z here! Feel like Nintendo DS is the most universally nostalgic, but also WII sports, Skylander, Sims 3 and Icarly
I've never related to a video more. So much hope for all the creative projects we will one day complete!
Loved this video. I need to get moving on decluttering my storage unit. Oh and you can me those lined notebooks 😅
Hit clips was it 😂
i CACKLED when you decided to put that blockbuster game in the keep. Good on you! I love a good 'I gotta remind myself what I got in my home and keep it' declutter sesh. I'm in that tribe- we got us!
I loved this video soooo so much Evelyn! I related to most of the things you said, I felt so understood! Entertaining but also inspirational for self awareness. Time flew by watching this :)
Omg. The journal entry with a date but no year. That is me!!😂
The skateboard would make cool wall decor.
I love love love the idea of adding a calendar event for craft projects and hobbies in order to use less screen time. You’ve inspired me to do the same! I’m gonna even make sure it shows up on my phone so I can hopefully catch myself next time I’m doom scrolling
Whatever you do I am going to watch♥️
Yay! Evelyn of these Internet streets. The❤😊 streets are paved with gold.
I’m a 2005 Gen Z and when I think of my childhood I think of the Barbie movies, littlest pet shops, pillow pets, leapfrog tablet, and I think that’s all my brain is gonna give me for right now lol
Lmao “Not trying to pay that copay” 😂 real life adulting 😂
Shoutout Dr Pepper bois one time
I gotta go through my shit in the next couple weeks, before I move apartments at the end of July. It's just so wild (and kinda gross) how much I accumulated between now and when I moved into my current place two years ago.
I'm so glad you did not try the skateboard, I spoke to you while watching, "don't do it Evelyn, don't do it", and then you didn't.
a thrift store for art supplies??? that sounds incredible.
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag inside of a plastic bag inside a plastic bag
I was having a bad day today, but this video drastically improved my mood by making me belly laugh several times! Thank you for your content and for being you ❤
Hi Evelyn, what do you have against lines in your journals? Loving this organizing/declutter series! I'm decluttering myself
Wait but i do sometimes in fact feel like a plastic bag, inside a plastic bag, inside a plastic bag...
7:49 DFL! So real…why bust ya head open if u don’t have to yanno!😂😂😂😂
If you decide to get rid of the tomagotchi I’ll buy it from you or you can donate it to me. 😃I had a gigapet a couple years ago and it got wet and sadly could not be saved 😞
Skateboard = Wall Decor 🙃
This was quite entertaining
The print on those dust bags are really pretty! Maybe turn them into pictures? Invest in a staple gun if you don't have one (or just some really, really good glue 😂) and frame them. With some white or gold frames, they would look cute.
Edit: Whoops, commented too soon! You already have a (more practical) use for them 😂
We get a whole half hour plus long video from Evelyn?!?!?
get that film developed!!!
too funny, I'm like this about unlined paper.
I have a tamogatchi that I havent even pulled the tab out on. lol we NEED IT!!! lol
I needed this😢
I literally thought it was a cold brew XD
Hey Evelyn, can I buy that pennyboard off you?
I needed this inspiration to declutter! Love these videos
hit clips!
That's a nice ribbon.
I put my todos in a bag on the door knob. It's annoying to see so I get it done
Cuz I am SO validated by you pitching all the lined notebooks. They are just not it!! Unlined all the way!!
Love the decluttering content! You should put the chemistry projects on the IKEA shelf. Those are creative projects, too!
Omg I just put batteries in my tamagotchi and it swiftly died from neglect 2 days later smh Lolol
Ohhh, Daugh-tah, how you crack me up!😄😆😂🤣😅😂🤣YOU. ARE. A. STARRR!🌟

1:23 😂 the power that that has
I'm putting the Austin craft thrift store on my itinerary for my next Austin trip.
this came right on time! I plan to declutter this weekend. I legit said out loud "I NEED TO PURGE". so look at this, alignment.
