This month long declutter has been a game changer for me. Breaking it up in little 5 min increments makes it so much more manageable. I work from home so I can do these during my lunch hour or after work. I keep forgetting to take pics but I feel so better in certain areas of the house already. I need more time in my basement and a couple other rooms but my kitchen cabinets are looking so much better and I am not procrastinating as much on those hot spot areas. I need to do this a few times a year! At least spring and fall time are a must. Thanks so much! I have told all my friends about it as well.
Yes! I"m so glad to hear that and thank you so much for sharing with your friends!
Oh my word, the recycle bin stories have me roaring! I’m 53 and that’s so something I’d do if we had a bin 🤦♀️🤣🤣🤣 I’m getting ready to start but I’ve a cushioned seat with drawers on wheels to move myself about the garage. I use it for car detailing. It’s fun 🤩 💚💚💚
I am so going to miss these daily check ins with you. I have been decluttering for 25 years so not much left to go. It is still my passion.
Sounds like you've mastered it!
This month has been the best! It has changed not only how I look at decluttering but how I feel in general! My family finally noticed and asked me if there was something wrong. Lol
I have never stuck to and been engaged with any series on TH-cam this long. That in itself is a testament to how helpful this has been for me. Pattern established and maintained. Yay me!
My garage needed more than 5 minutes, so I cleaned the garage for 8-10 hours on Saturday, Sept. 21st, during the all day declutter session with Cas, Dawn and Dana. I listened to all of their declutter sessions while I worked in the garage. My recycling can is full to the top. My trash can is also filled to the top with an additional pile of trash and bags waiting in my garage for trash day pickup. My cans are usually about 25% full every. They are never full. On Monday my daughter and I hauled items from the garage to a thrift shop and took all the metal to the recycling center. Cas, I did your grab a bag and purge session all day. I am happy with the results. Even with all that effort I still found five things today to get rid of. Thanks Cas for the motivation and also to Dana and Dawn.
Does anyone watch the video then listen a 2nd time while working with the timer? Girl, this is so genius! My family thinks I have lost it.

I do too!
First time today as I’m going through a container and when I found something that belonged in the laundry room, I walked it to the laundry room instead of just making a pile, then thinking about after decluttering, oh better put that way or worse leave it in a pile l just made 😂
Thank you so much Cass for motivating us to declutter and making the process so enjoyable and not overwhelming at all. 🥰
You are so welcome!
My husband decluttered the garage! Yay
It would be great if this series could have a part two or one for the whole year. Could keep us motivated and ahead of things.
I could spend everyday with you in my head everyday..
This is one of the first things I do every day. I love your daily declutter videos. The stories make me laugh every time.
Think I'll try "recycling " this 5 minute declutter each month for awhile. Loved it!!! Worked for me (the value of 5 minutes was shocking).
I love you cast you get me moving and I am headed to my sister-in-law‘s to help her declutter. I’m going to show her a few videos of this 30 day challenge.
I found your channel over a year ago and I'm so glad I did. It has helped motivate and inspire me.
Thanks for your kind words, I appreciate it so much!
I've already did my garage so I did my storage room. Easy as all get out.
I think last month we did a big big overhaul on my hut and my both garages because I have a garage department upstairs and we re-leveled the apartment so that made us take everything out re-organize get rid of and revamp it and it is so lovely room to walk. There was no room to walk in there room to walk. Everything is in shelves. I just totally love it now I need to go back in and go through a few boxes that I saved and let me see what I can per down, but I totally love it and we did this as a family my husband, my two sons I have three sons but one couldn’t do it. He works a lot, but it was really great and believe me we still have a little bit more work to do, but we’ve been pacing ourselves.
The garage is not in my jurisdiction... and I don't HAVE anything in there to declutter (although my husband could use a good size helping of Cas!😜). So I will continue to declutter in my sewing room for 5 minutes. (It has a LOT more 5 minutes's to go!) Thanks for this challenge, Cas! Love you!❤
We need to do a 5 minute declutter in our basement several times a day! Lol
When we moved, our garage and basement merged into one large space. We have it sectioned off for organization aaaaand each section is a hot mess!
Last year, we redid our home gym section, and we still have old equipment to get rid of. We need to tidy up our fishing and camping section; sell a kayak; get rid of furniture that I never flipped, tidy up our tool section, and throw out old paint and boxes, and donate blankets to the pet shelter.
Yeah. There is so much to do, but I have a plan now!!! 🎉😂
Back porch storage closet, here I come! ❤️♾️❤️
Do it!💪
I feel your braveness in this area and that is how it is for me too🥰
I drove home from work and noticed the pile of things in my console. All of it was rubbish (trash) so I collected it all and threw it in the bin on my way in. That's tomorrow's done today, so another area will be chosen tomorrow. I think doing it in small bites really works for me!
Omg Dad I bet holidays with you guys are so much fun talking about these stories 😂
Just found this series....I'm interested in starting from day one! I've been very ill, in hospital twice in 6 weeks, and recuperating has been hard. Starting to feel better and am motivated to simplify my home.
I don't even have a garage but i love watching your excitement about cleaning. I also have gained a little weight back after VSG and my goodness Im a Bee/Bug, i think we are soul sisters. LOL I once was attacked while i was putting together my IKEA bed.... ya, was all alone.
😂my garage needs 5weeks 😂 but I did 5mins in a closet... this has been great workin with you Cass!!! Absolutely love you ❤
I’ve been doing all these challenges. It’s a bit hard cause I am cleaning while working on it 😅. I was feeling defeated until my husband said “imagine if we had a garage”, and I felt soooo much better
Well it took alot of time but we sorted two boxes....was good to have a good pile of paper to throw and shred
I just love her declutter and cleaning videos! 🤗
This has made it so easy not that I have done it in your order….but it really helps to achieve a goal. I will probably replay this series, hurt my back so soon donation car stuff needs to go down the road! Thank
Your stories are hilarious
Thank you!!🧡💜💚
You're welcome!
I kid you not I hired help to declutter my garage today! Getting pumped up with this video❤
Regarding the recycle bin, I sit whenever I can. The boxes could have been flattened inside the house and carried out to the can. Or she could do ad I do and put loose recyclables inside the box. Finally, I use the large boxes for donations because I don't need the box anyway. I do watch these videos passively because my health is really bad right now. I'm going to print out the pages and save them for the future when I'm feeling better.
I think I will start these videos over at the end of the 30 days.
I'll do for sure 🥰
Yaaaay❤ i am here counting down the minutes for new video 😂😂 😂
I’m the same. 😌
That folded table behind you, is that multicoloured gorgeousness or a reflection of the colour explosion in your garden?? 😍
It's one of Joe's work tables (I think it's just reflection of the metal underside)😀
@@Clutterbug 🤣
I admit I just sat and watched this - but I already have a pile of stuff in the garage that is leaving the house hopefully this weekend. Some things are going to our daughter and the rest goes to donations. 35+ items. :)
Hi I'm not up to shed and the spiders there are on steroids but I have junk blowing round the garden.I will do that.its wet out but still...☔i don't have a garage.. Thankyou cas x
Spiders that are on steroids 😂😅 oh I know what ya mean I have webs around the windows in our garage too so I'm slowing sneaking in there 😀
My garage needs more than 5 minutes! 😂 We’re tackling little chunks at a time!
So are we. Our Sunday chunk so inspired my spouse that after work on Monday, he did the next chunk on his own! Already the overwhelm has receded.
@@persephonebasilissa5109 My husband has started doing it too!
Little chunks make a big difference! Good job!
I have. Plenty!! In the garage but watching this was hard! I have a broke mindset right now and seeing that band-aid container get tossed. And the top part of the rug! 🙈
I live in an apparment and dont have a couple of the rooms youve mentioned so i try and get creative with it today i did the fire escape thanks from montreal ❤❤❤
Great idea to find places that make it work for you! Way to go!
Omg 😲 i love your stories!!! I find myself looking around even before bed thinking 5 minutes 5 items .what am I doing?.it is so doable and does make the difference! Ty so much!
You are so welcome and glad you like the stories!😅
I do too!
Yeppie!! Love these!!
Same!
Okay i thought I could skip this one 😂 as don't have a garage (or shed) but I do have an outdoor space, so I'll now be able to do this one 🙂
Love this so much
No garage to declutter, but going back into the room that is clothes closet and craft room and go back in. Meantime a trash bag of clothes to be donated later this morning.
When I don't have a basement or garage.... I pick a doom closet 😅 definitely equivalent to the random things you find in both of those places lol 😆
i'm going to do this again starting october 1st
A few videos ago you asked your viewers about being rule followers or breakers. My 1st reaction was: yeah, I'm pretty much a circus monkey, pay me enough & I'll do most anything legal, probably a few illegal things too. In regular life outside a job? Really depends on so many things -- leaning heavy toward rule breaker in most everything else. I couldn't even follow your 30 day challenge rules -- almost every day I've spent doing a different area than on your menu. Crafts? Nope I'm doing attic. 5 mins on the shed, no, I'm doing 2 hours yesterday & today.
PSA - don’t sit on the recycling bin. Ha
😆
The second hand stores like receiving reusable shopping bags they use them my local st Vinnie uses to put purchased items in and my local good will sells them .. I think day cares might like them to send kids art projects or clothing goes home. Sweater or coat as weather warms up throughout the day.
Garage is hubby domains picking the bedroom
Outside space?
I threw out 2 ferns that were dead the other day. No garage, no shed. I can go back to my basement.
I did yesterday's declutter this morning. 6 pieces of material: sheets, a small piece of a blanket, etc. I have more for todays declutter in the basement.
I found 5 things for the trash and recycle bin that I will toss after I get dressed. Aha! That was easy.
Lol! Fun end story.
No, garage, but plenty of other areas to choose and work on today! PS Love your stories!
I tend to find 5 things that need to go to another room in the house (where there isn't room). Downsizing is so hard! I am still trying to fit into this space which is less than 1/2 of my last house (which was 1/4 the one before that).
Like others, I have found that I can pick up a few things and just a few seconds and throw them away or set them over in a donation box, etc. I need to find out when the animal shelter is open so I can take them this big pile of blankets, sheets, etc. I don't think they are open when I get off work at 4:30. They are open on Saturdays. I can take those things to my car and put them in the trunk they will be out of my house. 😊
😏 With videos like this, there is just no excuse for clutter.
Our garage (we can't park in it because it's not wide enough) is just storage and not my domain because everything out there is my husband's, so I don't have to touch the garage and shed.
2 snow shovels
2 wipers
Pair of nasty garden gloves
woo hoo!
I dont have an outdoor space in an apartment, but I’ll work on my little window garden tools
Awesome idea!
3rd comment ! 🎉love your videos!
Glad you like them!🥳
Now I wonder what an US-American recycling bin looks like.
So, I don't have a garage. But there is this landing in front of my apartment door where I stacked 7 boxes with books that I decluttered.
So I spend those 5 minutes writing an E-mail to a non-profit organisation that collects books and resells them for . Does that count?
I feel sore today. Not sure if I do too much. I am going to do 5 minutes though. I do not have a garage I have an electric meter room going to do that as my garage as I store paints diy vacuums etc there and donate? in the car. I need to watch your video first though so I follow the idea and don't pull everything out and organise like you said about your closet the other day and I microorganise so really need not to today.🙂
My husband has the only key to the garage so I can’t get my hands on it lol. I’ll go do the playroom we had made out of the back half of it way back when. It was supposed to be a room for me but again, my husband the pack rat stores his stuff in there too 🙄🤦🏼♀️
You need access too! I hope you make a copy of the key.
@@zarzee8925 I wish I could. He also has the only key to out back in the shed as well. He figures I don’t need a key because everything in those two places is his as well as the majority of everything in this house. I keep getting rid of my stuff because I can’t stand seeing everything that’s piled up everywhere but then he just fills those spaces too. I just can’t win 😥
I am here Day 24 we have a garage BUT it is stuffed full of things that my daughter and son in law brought when they moved in with my mom and I. Not my things will NOT touch it. I have got rid of more stuff to throw away and 7 things to donate!
I mentioned yesterday that the garage is my hubbies space so I can’t declutter it since he’s the one who organized it and puts things there. He also has half set up for cutting the flooring that he’s replacing upstairs so I’m not even going in there lol. I did take 3 boxes out yesterday that belong to my cousin who’s house I’m going to later today so I think that counts 😂
Oh my gosh, I am one of THOSE grandmas that got stuck in the recycling bin, I no longer own one, I just fill a box with the cardboard, it is safer!
I don't have a garage but I do have a shed where I put ...well everything.... The donation boxes I gathered in this decluttering month included. It has to be decluttered and reorganised and I have been saying this since last Christmas....... But this is going to take 5 minutes x 100 😂. I urgently need to plan a day to drive to the second hand store with a chock full car. Owwwww your poor gran! Is that the same grandma of the shitty purse story😅?
I ❤ this challenge but noticing it's actually getting harder for me. It's partly because I live in a condo (apartment) and have grown kids, so when the categories don't apply to me or I know a bunch of future ones won't, I have to make a decision about where to work that day and that is an extra barrier. Also I substituted "hobbies" for crafts because I don't craft and found it really, really difficult for some emotional reason. I guess time feels really important to me and I don't have as much as I want, and being reminded of that was kind of depressing?
We have a shed but that’s my husband’s space so I don’t have a key. However he has gotten rid of so many tools it’s amazing. I’ll get him to take a pic for me so I can put it up. I’ll also tell him to include trash and any recycling when he goes out there today.
My garage is a hot mess. I went through the corner were my Halloween items are sience I am going to be putting it out this weekend.
Yay! Every little bit counts!
✅️
Future reference, just use the reusable bags to take donations instead of tossing it into the garbage. If you’re taking donations anyways at least try to let them get more use out of them. Reusable bags only make a difference if they’re used more than regular plastic bags. I’ve gotten rid of several reusable bags this way lol. Or they’re good to donate to places that give out stuff to people in need.
make sure Granny or Grandpa have a chair near the recycling bin I guess.
exactly!😅
Ve a story. Working in my yard, came across a bad snake, I killed with a shovel and put it in the green recycle can. As I was pushing the can to the front curb. I tripped, the can fell, I fell, and I landed face to face with the snake inside the can. Karma??
i fell into a plastic recycling bin. i was putting leaves in it and accidentally dropped the handheld tool i was using into the box
so i was literally upside down in a gigantic plastic container
eventually it fell over
i have scars on my face from the misadventure
My only issue is that nothing in my garage is mine.
Why not donate the building stuff to habitat for humanity. People go there for this type of thing. Quit buying. Recycle. Resuse!
Nah, sis. This is at minimum a half hour job, b/c it's Hubs' domain and focusing him is like leashing a kitten.
