I love how Jessica is looking so fancy for decluttering. 💜💄👗
"Forever overdressed" is my motto
I feel like the point of the KonMari method is more about getting rid of things if they bother you, like, I might be bothered by having too many clothes or useless knickknack, so I'd get rid of them, but I'd NEVER be bothered by having too many books!
Yes!
"If it's important to you, keep it confidently and find a home for it" it was she says in her books.
Exactly. I wouldn't be happy getting rid of my books. I love my books too much and I reread them normally so getting rid of them doesn't make sense and would do more damage then good.
You and your wife are literally the cutest couple ever I freaking love u you’re just so pure for this world 💖💖💖
Macus Rodrz exactly my thoughts throughout all their videos. 🥰
They are one of my favorite TH-cam couples. They are adorable together. 🙂
I love how Claudia is in sweats and comfy clothes to move boxes and get dirty and Jessica is an a gorgeous dress that gives me Disney Cinderella vibes. Like Jessica’s “casual” organizing dress is fancier than any dress I have ever worn to any black tie event 😂
Pro tip Jess: put the cute hand drawn labels inside of the boxes so they aren’t ruined in the mpve
Jessica up in the cramped loft, trying to Marie Kondo both her and her wife out of a very tiny corner, all while wearing a crinoline and perfect hair is the type of content I come here for!
At the last count I had well over 1000 books. Probably more by now. I have kon mari'd them. I got rid of two books, they were duplicates.
Every time I start to run out of space, I put up more bookshelves. I will eventually run out of space entirely, and that is the day I buy a garage to turn into a library.
I essentially ran the school library as a teenager. It shows.
i think im in love-
I also tried to KonMarie my books... I got rid of one duplicate... But kept...10 others. They were gifts. They have notes in the front covers. Notes from my loved ones bring me joy! I'm not crazy!
please please please start using libraries because buying that many books is really bad for the environment
@@sanians5685 I mean the paper from them probably comes from a tree farm not a random rainforest so it’s not killing a forest for the books. And it feels so much nicer owning your own copy of the book and being able to look back at it whenever you want. Books honestly are nowhere near the worse thing for the environment. I think something this is really bad is fast fashion.
I'm a book dragon. I hoard books. It makes me happy. I'm not getting rid of any of my paper babies.
Nobody:
Jessica: "CHRISTMAS BOXES!!!!"
Oh Jessica, this is me too, when I start tidying. Plus, who gets rid of books??? My childhood dream wasn't Christmas boxes all in order. It was to have a home library. Now I have a "small" one that brings me great joy.
I got rid of a series of novels that were no longer working for me. The writer was clearly stuck in a rut, churning them out for the money.
PageMonster That seems fair enough.
I occasionally re-home my books... There is a store that'll buy em from you, and give you store credit.
So I can get new books to fill my shelves with!
My friend has a library in her house and it's lovely. There's a couch/reading chair in there, and she put up shelves all over the walls and has books just everywhere! There's even a baby gate at the entrance to keep the bunnies out. xD They like to eat books.
Palitato That sounds lovely! I just painted one of the walls in mine my favorite shade of green. I’ve got a blue sofa and yellow reading chair. It’s quite a colorful and comfortable little library.
This is quicklybecoming my favourite series, I see it one day being adapted into a tragi-comedy.
Oh, the effort they put into filming all these hours and hours of working and then cutting footage to make these tiny clips. So nicely done!
I think you did great considering, I too care more about my scraps of paper and my hundreds of notebooks then the big things. You all will get it done eventually, try not to stress and take a bit at a time. That's how I learned not to freak out when I went to my storage unit😉😊. Love u both so much and hope ur back is better 😁!
How many times can I possibly mention Christmas??? 😅

We should make it a drinking game.
I used to have every book I ever read... then I moved onto a houseboat and needed to keep it from rolling over and sinking. Please make a Because Gay T shirt available in a women's slim fit!!! ❤❤❤
Also wait... there's furniture in your loft? ;)
Take heart. Seven boxes would never hold the 5000 books in our house! Oh dear. Life as a librarian has no limits to the books that you can own!
That’s so many books… how could you possibly ever read so many?
The initial filming in the attic is giving me mad Carmilla vibes and I'm loving it
Not gonna lie, I misread that as Chlamydia
Aw! That’s so sweet! And when you open the Christmas boxes again this year, it’ll be like a gift to you from the past!
Childhood goals= have a library like the one in the castle in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. 😍❤️😍❤️Never going to give up my books!!!
That is my fervent wish also. One day it will b a reality.
Mine as well but then Think of all the dust 😂
Childhood dream for me too!
Once you’re settled into your new place, I would love to see what sorts of crafts you have/make! I didn’t realize you had so much art stuff, and I would love to see what you make with it!
I JUST started going through my clothes this morning after talking to my mom about how I feel so much guilt about some of them. Others just don’t fit and make me feel bad about myself, like stuff I’ve kept from college even though I’m 25 now and no longer close to that size lol. Thanks for sharing, I hope the move is still going smoothly!
A box obsession and an inability to get rid of books?
You're a lady after my own heart
I genuinely think this was great progress even if it wasn't proper konmari! The things looked so much more organised in the loft afterwards, you now know what you have and where it all is.
I also love looking through all the sentimental/memory stuff when I sort the loft, it's the best part!!
After KonMari I went from just over 150 books down to just under 120 😂
Well that's vaguely the 30 book rule, right? 😉
Hm does that mean that you can get some new books Now?
I have about 8000 on my e reader so it that's cheating?
Barbara Lively That’s great! You still support the author, but you minimize clutter. I just can’t give up my physical copies, though...
I'm not done with the Netflix special but most people took multiple days if not multiple weeks to completely konmari the house. I feel like your expectations on how long it would take was unrealistically harsh for yourselves. I think your full attic before / current / potential future is still going swimmingly! Don't give up on yourselves!! You're doing amazing! 😉😊 Sending love and encouragement from California. 💙💙💙
-Barbara
I'm *seriously* in need of a KonMari (again) I already did my books though - many years ago and it was *extremely stressful* I just love my books but the feeling of minimalism is well worth it! I actually now have *three rooms* in my house that are your loft (sigh)
Your videos definitely spark joy in me! My hubby and I definitely need to de-clutter our house. We do a little bit here and there but it's not enough and we need to get better about it. Hopefully something to tackle after cookie season (I'm a Girl Scout troop leader and also cookie mom/manager among other things so what is free time?) Your videos definitely inspire me and you ladies made some absolutely remarkable progress!
Hello lovely people! It's a bad pain day so I'm glad Jessica uploaded 😂 thank you!!!
I think you should always be decluttering, like clothes at the end of winter and end of summer, holiday stuff in January/February, etc. You’ll first get rid of things that are trash, junk, or you hate. Then eventually you’ll get rid of everything that you don’t like or use. Plus it gives you a chance to look at a thing you bought during the year between decluttering that section of stuff and be like “should I have bought this?”. Also it makes the decluttering go faster instead of if you did it every 5-10 years or even longer.
I love that you are wearing the polish mountain style slippers. My mum used to force me to wear them when I was little and I hated wearing any shoes at home. Now I realised how I would love to have a pair of them but haven't seen them in ages. Ah nostalgia
Keep going I believe in you guys!!!!!!!!!
The way you sort every little tiny bit of paper is exactly what I do when trying to clean up
You're not the only one, I struggle with anxiety parting with some things, books are always hard to get rid of. This series though is giving me a bit more umpf to go and try to declutter so thank you xxx
"Don't go through your stuff room by room, but by category."
10 seconds later: "Let's do the loft!"
I'm kidding, obviously
Y'all are doing an excellent job. Keep on keeping on. Baby steps to the next pile.
Maybeeee a book review/recommendations format would be a good excuse for tons of books? 👀
Best of luck, Jessica and Claudia. This is why Marie says to focus on types of stuff vs rooms. I think you were definitely in the right track with tackling “Christmas Stuff” but got a mix of too much stuff and not everything of that category when you tried to tackle the entire loft. 😅
I bought Kondo's book for my mom's birthday tomorrow, I hope she does better than you with her books, mostly her magazines, because she has a whole table covered by piles of them. Weirdly the rest of the house is spotless, I guess we all have some kind of uncontrollable, hobby related, mess
Jessica is the Queen of Christmas.
I become quickly overwhelmed when I declutter. My solution is to work on a particular area and totally clean that area afterwards. My whole house is problematic, but I have succeeded in building bookcases and consolidating some books. The calm generated by this is worth the time. Must do more!
Understand trying to keep going through pain, cleaned sitting room, migraine, chest pains, ouch! Two of my fave things, Christmas and badminton ( though I can't play any more) ... You've made a start girls, and that's great 😀
2:40 - Screenshot this and turn it into the intro of: Ghost Hunting with Jess & Claudia
I think you are doing a fantastic job. Ever hour you put in now is two hours saved after the move. (I might have made up that statistic, but it feels right.) Keep at it, group by group, chunk by chunk.
Well done for labelling each box. My suggestion is to have labels on the top and at least two sides. Then when things are stacked one on top of another, you will still know what is in the boxes.
Yes, top and side labeling is key! It helps so much when moving.
Related tip? If labeling is time prohibitive or you suffer from hand/wrist issues, use coloured tape to sort your boxes by destination/room. I've used both novelty duct tape and craft tape. Line of tape on all sides and top, and it will save you a ton of time writing everything else, be highly visible no matter where you are, and act as a sort of security. (Vs cataloguing your expensive and portable valuables in large black marker lol).
This is now my favorite Mari Kondo video series. Awesome job!
This series is great! I didn’t know you guys were planning on moving, but honestly, this is a great time to get this done! After realizing how much stuff I was able to accumulate in a one bedroom dorm, I promised myself not to keep anything in my life that wouldn’t we north the hassle of packing it up and transporting. Can’t wait for the next episodes ☺️
Congratulations on being able to do all of that. I'm just about done with her first book and I'm dreading doing my stuff!
I love the Christmas Organizer boxes.
You two did great!! I am glad I am not the only person who gets way too obsessed over sorting the tiny stuff. 🌺
You've done such a great job!! Honestly! So proud!
I don't clean like Marie with categories. I clean one space at a time. But I follow her basic idea of bringing joy, and sort as I go through things. I don't know if my ADHD would ever let me actually do a whole Marie Kondo of my stuff. 😭😂
I haven’t laughed this hard in far too long. Love the sense of humor.
Letting go of memories.... Such a task! 2 years ago I had to sort thru 20 years of stuff. Being married and living in one house created a ton of stuff.... I must have filled a couple book donation bins!
don't be so hard on yourself. It has taken me months to empty out my mudroom ( as it needs to be torn down and rebuilt!!!) and I am still not done!
I want that box. It’s a delight. And I have enough Christmas crap to fill them. Thank you for this gift to me.
This feels just like an episode of a TV show! 😂 I love it
We did this a year ago for our move. I am so glad we did and things are still pretty much organized and easier to deal with
Jessica makes my heart so happy 💕 her videos are always so positive, enteraining and well dressed! This is my favourite channel by far 😂
I think you both have done a splendid job of digging in to the project. Keep going - you will get there
I live the sorting sequence that is synched to the music!
I love cook books and craft books but I did get rid of a lot of other books not read in years! This is making me want to get rid of lots of stuff! I’m not sure will be able to get rid of anything Christmas decorations but organising them in to good storage box is a good idea!
"Why didn't we listen to Marie?"
I was about to comment that she recomends following that order so you learn along the process, since each category is harder than the previous one.... nevermind 😂😂
I LOOOOOVE the editing!! And I can't wait to watch more of these videos 💜
Your organized xmas boxes made my heart sing...
Loving these konmarie videos! Hope you post more of them.
Yay!!!! Another video from my fav youtubers!!! 💛💛
my least favourite part of tidying is dealing with papers and little fiddly things - i need a jessica in my life! also you dont have too much art stuff until you have to rent storage in the hopes that one day you will have a studio.
Just the thought of tidying all my stuff in a similar way has given me a bit of anxiety!
You are just so utterly delightful. Great work on the loft! 💐
I did my whole childhood house when we moved and it was crazy especially when the toilet flooded and drenched the living room.
I loved the editing in this video! also I love you and your wife 💓
Your hair went from Ariel to Mulan like that! *snaps fingers* seriously, though... Great job so far!!
Im so impressed! The courage! The loft!!! Very Very well Done you ! Ive had those experiances and though We are still together me and My husband see houseclearing as one of those ” developing” events in your life which taught you much..... but is about as pleasant to Think about as ( almost) pulling nails!
You have such satisfying Christmas decorations
I applaud you!! Can't wait to see your next update
Hahaha the christmas bells when Jessica talks about christmas items
I live in a tiny one bedroom flat, but I too have multiple boxes of Christmas decorations, and so, so many craft supplies.
About 80% of the space under my bed is just storage for craft stuff, and that's after I turned half my lounge into an art space. Oops.
I think you're doing good so far! I understand the whole "focusing too much on bits of paper" thing, I do the same every time I do a spring clean. I've been carrying about plans for moving from five moves ago because I thought the itineraries I made were cute memorabilia.
I’m extremely proud of you both!! My hubby & I don’t DARE take Marie on because we both have hobbies which involve small items...(i.e., Golf Balls from EVERY COURSE HE HAS PLAYED) among all of his office papers & huge boxes filled with items displaying his company logo to give to clients. Since we share the office, I have a FEW things like my Scrapbook paper which is all compact in 12x12 containers, as well as a Cricut, many different die-cuts I may use later, adhesive, markers, chalks, stamps, plus jewelry making materials with multiple types of wire, beads, gems, pendants, tools, books on both scrapbooking & jewelry making, unfinished projects, etc. If he would just get another holder & put his extra golf balls onto it so they were up on the wall vs. a box on the floor, it would be SOOOO much better...🤣! What...🤷🏼♀️, it’s not like I have double what he has!! I might have ..ummm....4-5x’s?🙈 So you can see why HE needs to Kondo his things, right?!.....RIGHT??!!! 🤦🏼♀️ FELLOW CLUBBIES & SPOONIES... PRAY FOR ME AS WE DECLUTTER TO MOVE AS WELL PLEASE 🙏🏻 Love to all 🤗💜😘!!!
Yes, I would love a house tour! And I think y’all are doing fine getting things sorted!
The CHRISTMAS BOXES LOOK GREAT!!!
Good job, Jessica and Claudia!
I love these decluttering videos! Keep em coming 💛💛
I really enjoyed the editing to the music. It sparked joy.
I'd love to see a house tour! You two would appreciate it later when you're in your new house. I wish I did that for my old house!
Your progress is going about as well as mine. I have boxes from moving in my living room and kitchen and I'm just going through them as I unpack.
Love your vintage look. Saw your 2017 video a few minutes ago and this, and not much has changed. Except for your beautiful personality and your skill in communicating, they're both better than before if not slightly better 👍
I think it’s adorable how naive Claud is about what goes into your attic. Lol. Wait til you guys have kids. The Kon Marie method definitely will not work then. Also mad props to you both for going up that rickety ladder. It gave me palpitations just looking at It. I really can’t do heights. Also I am intensely jealous of all your lovely Christmas stuff. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I feel you Jessica. We're going through the same thing in my household right now. We're moving house in 2 months. While packing we're doing the downsizing as well.
When I moved house, we had 15 years of accumulated stuff in our loft. EVERYTHING went to the recycling centre. So now my motto is, if I haven't used it in 3 years, then it's not worth keeping. I'm trying a similar approach to books, if it's going to be read again, simply beautiful or collectable, then it's a keeper :)
I down-sized my Christmas boxes to 5 of the giant Really Useful Boxes this year. I was exceedingly impressed with myself.
Hahaha, I love watching you both. You are amazing, I love the way you dress. I wish I could find dresses in the U.S. Like them.
It’s official. You are my favorite TH-camr ever! I’m only sorry I’m old and won’t get to watch all of your adventures. Fly out flags proudly, youngster!
I love these videos so much
I can really relate to caring way too much about small bits of paper, stuff I've written and making cute labels for boxes (that are still empty!). Seeing someone be the same way is a relief haha.
Only keep 30 books? no just no I get too much joy from them to do that. Though you do sort/tidy the way I do start off eager and then get distracted by the little stuff. ❤👍
I think you may have missed the part about Marie Kondo wanting to only have 30 books in HER OWN house. She doesn’t think that other people should only have 30 books! It’s just her personal preference. Her whole method is about keeping things that bring you joy, so if you get joy from having lots of books then you should keep them!
Generally speaking Japanese apartment is not big. And she's not that into books I guess. That sounds understandable but they have a lot of MANGA books. So, she just rents MANGA? 30 is a figure even a lot of Japanese unable to achieve I think.
I heard Library is still big in japan
Gosh, you are absolutely stunning!
Me when I see a smaller apartment thinking "yeah, I could live there"
Remembers mug collection. "oh, nevermind"
They bring me joy, damnit, I'm not getting rid of my mugs 😂
Great job ladies!!
This is a helpful way of organizing. I'm going to need to remember this in a few of months when my gf and I move
I love my books far too much to give Any away! I can look at a series sitting on the shelf and just be taken back to the time I read them and the world I visited
I would first like to say "Hello!" It's my first time commenting because I just discovered your wonderful TH-cam page. Anyway, I have used this method to cull my useless knick knacks and text books from college. I think you've done a great job so far. Just try not to get too stressed about clearing out items. Moving is stressful enough and I would know. I've managed it four times.
This video just made my day.
We all mistakes, it's how we truly learn things. You're doing great! We... Did not do this, despite gouse hunting forever. There are boxes of things untouched from two moves ago taking up my closet atm. Hard lesson.
