The one thing that worked for me super well was viewing my home as an airbnb someone would rent out. Recently we went on vacation, and I found myself so relaxed by the cleanliness and no clutter. It made me see my home in different eyes when we came back and I had so much appreciation for my home and motivation to get it cleaned and decluttered. So now when I need motivation I try to make my home be a place I’d pay to stay at for vacation.
I've decluttered a bunch of knickknacks that I was hanging onto bc my mom gave them to me. I used to think I hated dusting, but what I really hated was having to move all and dust all that stuff that really, in the end, just made my house look so cluttered. The ironic thing is, my mom always told me if I was getting her a gift, no knickknacks bc they collected dust
Thanks for this TH-cam video. I am decluttering slowly. I decluttered my reusable shopping bags that I never use and after watching one of your decluttering videos, you mentioned to put your donation items in them and donate them that way. A great way to reuse unwanted bags, thanks 👍.
I've been trying to stick with the OHIO rule: Only Handle It Once. Don't set something down unless it belongs there, assuming that later you'll put it away. Just put it away the first time you touch it. For example, I try to not set dirty dishes on the counter, but rather put them in the dishwasher without setting them down elsewhere. Junk mail gets looked at (briefly) then tossed, rather than set down on the desk.
Great tip regarding the kids artwork on kitchen cabinets. I shall be rearranging their pictures to insides of cabinet this evening to help improve my kitchen vibe 😊
This is a great video because it's very practical to my situation in life. As much as I am charmed with Marie Kindo, I have to say that I don't think I have the energy to drag ALL of my clothing out to one spot and go through at one time. I get that she's trying to show you that it's too much stuff! But the thought of it is too defeating for me. I like your idea of dejunking in small doses...I also like the practice of not leaving a room empty handed. Thanks for putting this information out.
I agree with a little at a time. Sometimes when you are waiting for something to cook it is easy to go through one draw or cupboard to tidy and declutter. Post we sort straight away. Luckily our children and grandkids have grown up so toys and clothes are not an issue but it used to be. Revisiting places is good too, if you put something on probations as to keep or not a revisit helps you decide. Thanks for your advice.
I deal with paper clutter every day. When a bill comes in, I immediately pay it and shred it. When receipts come in, I immediately scan it and shred it. Paper gone!
Hey this is great! I do worry about if a computer or a server breaks down or cybersttacks how to you protect against that. Also what if you have to return something. Stores want the original receipt.
I love your decluttering habits. They are brilliant. You are so full of energy and I get very inspired to tackle some areas in my home after I've been watching your videos. You have helped me to step up a level in this journey. Not only to declutter, but also create good habits so that I can keep it in this minimalistic way and enjoy the process. Thank you. Ulla-Marie
Special knickknacks live in a corner curio cabinet behind a glass door. All I have to dust there is the cabinet itself. I'm so proud of myself for throwing away some old spices I went through last night while I was cooking. Progress is progress! Thanks for another great video!
Taryn, I recently found your channel and appreciate your original content. I had never heard you could schedule donation pick ups before- just googled it and want to thank you! With a toddler and infant, organizing donation runs have been no easy task 😩 (Last time I drove to a donation center, it was closed.) GREAT suggestion!!! 🙏🏻
I like to keep a decluttering box too and add as I run across items. I like to immediately run unwanted mail through the shredder or into the trash. Sometimes I have time will tell mail, tends to get stacked for awhile 😟. Not fond of that stack! For paper I need to keep I have small plastic drawers marked tax, medical insurance his and one for hers, banking, etc.This works well for us and makes it easier if we are looking for a certain paper.
I love the never leave a room empty handed. This one can be demotivating for me though lol just because my husband is not a cleaner and everytime i come back to the room there is something or twice as much new stuff that wasnt there before 🤯
80%! Good grief that's a lot. Hard to imagine I could get rid of an additional 80% of my stuff. I guess it depends on where you are in your decluttering journey how much more you can part with.
@@tarynmaria_ Yes! I am in Western NY and remember when Wegman's started building out into other states. Not sure where you are, but I cannot imagine not having a Wegmans in every town. :)
Awesome! I'm from Rochester, NY :) I live in DC now but they just put a Wegmans about 10 minutes from me and I'm SO HAPPY! It's the best, right? @@christinefoss5767
Thanks! I lot of subscribers use the subtitles so I've added them. I'm trying to see how long they will be useful because TH-cam is coming out with a lot of cool translation and CC features now!
If you take a photo of a potentially cluttered area and then flip it (left to right) you will have a fresh view of the area and a new hopefully more objective perspective.
So a problem I have is making decisions about clothing I have to donate. There are several places for several kinds of items. It takes me time to organize. Should I just haul it down to Goodwill when I know that other specific kinds of organizations are looking for specific kinds of things? What about all those bottles of shampoo and conditioner, etc. that I didn't like? ARGH.
I'd say haul it to Goodwill if it's going to end up sitting in your home for months. Maybe give yourself a timeline? For the shampoos and stuff - can you use them as body wash or shaving gel maybe? Or even in a homemade cleaner. Just some ideas!
Regarding knickknacks, no one will want the tchotchke from your 1985 trip to Hawaii, or niece’s wedding reception favors. Those items are only meaningful to the people who experienced the events. Same goes for the dozens of photos people subject their friends to when returning from a trip - ugh. Pick a few photos with interesting stories behind them, then move on!

That is such a great idea! Love that 😊
Your videos are particularly good because you present high quality information and explanations efficiently.
Thank you so much!!

Great observation about dusting! I feel the same way!
My thoughts exactly
Awesome! I got rid of 90% of my knick knacks. I hate to dust. 😅

Yes, it’s so much easier to do that!
Thanks your decluttering …. makes the most sense I have so far! I will try this video first!
So glad!! Thank you!
Great tip regarding the kids artwork on kitchen cabinets. I shall be rearranging their pictures to insides of cabinet this evening to help improve my kitchen vibe 😊
Love it! It makes me happy every time I open the cabinets and see the artwork inside too 😊

That is amazing and makes me so happy! Thank you so much, you are doing fantastic!
I don't want to be a minimalist but I'd like to have less clutter. I like your channel, I found you today and subscribed it.
Yay I’m so glad you’re here!
I sort our mail in the garage when I bring it from the mailbox. I throw junk mail into the recycling bin before I get into the house.
Awesome!
Great, practical advice.
Thank you!

Thank you so much! I totally want to get a curio cabinet someday so I can do the same!!

I know the feeling!! 😊
I did a Swedish death cleaning last year. I realized its always going to in my mind now. Which is a good thing
Yes, for sure!
80%! Good grief that's a lot. Hard to imagine I could get rid of an additional 80% of my stuff. I guess it depends on where you are in your decluttering journey how much more you can part with.
I know, I was shocked when I found that stat!
Great tips! Your grocery store bags caught my eye since they match mine. :) Thanks for another great video!
You are so welcome - also, the Wegmans bags? 😊

@@tarynmaria_ Rochesterian myself!
Receipes are _very_ important. I write a book about household expenses. And I need the receipes to know exactly how much money in which category goes.
Great idea!
Haha the kitchen has enough problems without adding paper clutter to it!
So true! :)
Very good tips! Quick question, why are there subtitles in English when CC is available? Thanks for a great video.
Thanks! I lot of subscribers use the subtitles so I've added them. I'm trying to see how long they will be useful because TH-cam is coming out with a lot of cool translation and CC features now!
We are having trouble finding a place to donate unwanted items. The two we have used are full and not taking any more.
Oh no! I hadn't heard that before, hopefully they will figure that out soon!
If you take a photo of a potentially cluttered area and then flip it (left to right) you will have a fresh view of the area and a new hopefully more objective perspective.

👏👍

"Primary closet."

Ahh so true!
EIGHTY PER CENT??
Shocking, right?
