  • In this video, I clean out my office closet! I have a lot of content creation and musician supplies and I wanted to pare down, so that I can make space for the things I used and NOTHING ELSE.

    I am impressed with how good you were at decluttering your old shoes. I still have one disco dress from college. The dress is now 44 years old and is a 1970s size 7 (about a size 0 or 2 in today’s sizes). But I love dragging it out for laughs to shock people. My husband remembers when I used to wear that dress to go to dances in college

    We just finished decorating for Christmas. I had so many decorations left over the decision was made to get rid of them. I’m talking about at least 4 to 5 very large totes to either give away or throw away. In fact, my husband’s cousin came to visit and she left with 5 brand new shirts and 5 caps. She is going through chemotherapy and losing her hair. I understand about the shoes. I have a pair of absolutely beautiful red patent heels that are very uncomfortable. It just dawned on me that they been in my closet for over 10 years. I don’t even wear heels anymore!

  • @whimsicalwombat
    @whimsicalwombat 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks for the motivating content, Kay! I think for me, one of the biggest challenges in the decluttering process is the next step -- where does it all go? I don't want to just throw things in the garbage (I know that's not what you do, either), but often I don't know where to take much of it -- like electronics, old binders/folders, etc.. So it sits in the pile for a while, and the temptation is to just shove it somewhere out of sight again. I'm not sure if this is as much of a challenge for others, but a follow-up video on the next step would definitely be interesting to me! :)

    Great video! I feel like I've been constantly decluttering for 3 years now and nearing a more ideal situation as to how I want my home to look. Of course, it never really ends because items stop being useful and you bring other items into your home. But I think I am nearing a more manageable phase that is more peaceful. I also got rid of shoes that I didn't like not that long ago, I rather be comfortable than stylish. lol

    • @kaleigh4081
      @kaleigh4081 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I could have written the exact same comment - been on this journey for about 3 years, too. It's so good to be in a place where you can say you don't need to declutter a space anymore! It is a constant redo, but it's so much more manageable now.

    Great job on your closet. All your cords etc were already pretty organized. Much better that the "system" (and I use the term lightly) that my husband uses. He's more 'of a "Hey, I think I can fit a couple more in this box. What do they go to? I don't know but I might need them someday" kind of guy.
    Life is too short for uncomfortable shoes; but I know it's hard to part with the cute ones. Good job!

I got rid of a bunch of shoes like that. If they hurt my feet, then they had to go. I’m doing the same with trouser socks that wouldn’t stay up on my leg. Now i just throw them away when i take them off. The snake skin print are everything. I’m so motivated by your progress.

    I think one of my biggest issues with decluttering aside from trouble parting with sentimental items is deciding where to take donations. Goodwill has questionable ethics, but it’s most convenient for me to donate to. There are certain things that I’d prefer to donate to a particular charity, but that makes it more difficult to do. For example, I’m very passionate about cloth diapering and I have a large tote of cloth diapers to donate. I’d prefer to donate them specifically to a cloth diapering charity so I know they’re doing the most good, but I can’t find one in my state so I’d have to mail them to somewhere like Utah. My youngest child is 10, I need to get rid of these diapers. I think I’ll just put them on FB marketplace, prob for free since I was donating them anyway. I’m just a procrastinator though and it takes me way too long to do things. Obviously, lol.
