Procrastinators Unite! 😂 I tell myself (and my family) "put it away, not down." Along with "a task isn't finished until you've cleaned up and put everything back in its home." I'm a master procrastinator, but I'm finding the closer I get to minimalism the less I procrastinate with those nagging, little tasks.
This really hit me. The visual of the nagging person really helped me to see how clutter affects us. I also appreciate your ADHD perspective. I have struggled my whole life with this and I appreciate how you validated us as people, even though we struggle to function properly. You acknowledged that we do have low self-esteem / rejection because of people always being frustrated by us. Minimalism helps a lot, but it’s still a struggle to keep up on tasks & habits for me. Anyway just wanted to say thanks for this video. Very helpful!
I love your videos ! I've been into minimalism and decluttering since my early 20s and I'm 30 now. I had a rough day at work and ended up in emerge and diagnosed with PSVT . So after an evening where I felt like I had no control I'm back home watching your vids relaxing because this content helps me feel in control when it comes to my clutter even if I don't have control on other parts of my life all the time. You're videos help people in more ways then just the obvious so thanks! From St.John's, Newfoundland
Years ago, when my kids were in their teens, my keys went missing. Looked for months! Had to replace them all! About 6 months later I found them in the bottom of an infrequently used drawer my daughter had been looking in…. 🤦🏽♀️ After that I keep my keys clipped to a loop on my jeans or my purse AND no one can borrow my keys. My office building keys were on that keychain! Cost me a fortune to replace them. Plus the mental stress…..
Cleaning out of desk draws whilst watching. I definitely feel those things mention about how we get used to looking at clutter. Feeling better with each space that has been cleaned up.
My home is filled with NUTs and I know it bothers me because I tend to hide clutter in rooms that are less used 🙄. You are totally right about how clutter affects our brains - I'm committed to slowly working through the worst of it while trying to retain my sanity with everything else I have going on right now. I hate losing things such as purse, keys, glasses, etc. and have worked out a system to keep important items in their own special place. Love the peace and calm that results from a clutter-free environment - this is my motivation to keep going with the de-cluttering!
Thank you for saying, 'even 15 minutes a day' ... I can do this! HAPPY NEW YEAR dear friend ... looking forward to LESSssss visual and mental clutter even with 15 minutes a day ... we will get there :) love from Vancouver Island XO
Agreed that it seems in.. No matter what.. Ugh my garage I struggle with mobility especially when it's cold out so that might have to wait until I have help or spring *Facepalm*
YES. I love how you talked about neurodiverse people and clutter. I'm adhd and have been trying to declutter for the past few months. I swear I've been losing my mind, forgetting to do so many different things. Now that you mention it, I think that no longer having visual cues lying around has really been messing with me, since I've been trying to keep things put away and out of sight since that's been the general recommendation. Thank you for this! Do you have any advice for leaving visual cues out without making spaces look messy?
Hmmm, I wonder if you could just leave one thing out to cue the others? You can also try to slowly (one thing at a time) create habits so you can remember things. There are also some really great reminder aps
Hey Robyn I signed up for boot camp but I don’t get on fb anymore bc I was wasting too much time on there (LOL). Are you going to also send the videos out in the emails? Thx!

Haha, we all procrastinate sometimes! I’m glad you are seeing a change though

"it's like plucking your eyebrows. You'll get there eventually." 😂 Almost spit out my coffee laughing; I feel this so hard!
Haha! It's true!!

Oh, I GET THIS!!

Yes!! The more you declutter, the better you feel!

Sounds like you are on the right path and need to keep on going! You can do this!!! 💪🏼🤞🏼✅💛

Yes!! Every little bit helps! Happy New Year Bonnie!
clutter definitely makes me feel distracted!!
Me too!!
As someone with adhd, you nailed it. I did join the boot camp!
Oh good! So glad you joined!
Agreed that it seems in.. No matter what.. Ugh my garage I struggle with mobility especially when it's cold out so that might have to wait until I have help or spring *Facepalm*
Yes, we definitely don’t do much decluttering in the winter outside! Too cold!
Thank you for the Clarity
Thanks Karen!
So glad I found you! Your channel is really helping me get my act together. Thanks :)
Yay!! I love hearing that Jenny!! Thanks for sharing!

Tote shuffler here.🤦♀️🤔😞

Aw, you can make a change when you’re ready!

Thank you! You as well!!

Chapters in Canada
@@MinimalistHome I haven't been to a Chapters in Too long. There isn't one near me.
Hey Robyn I signed up for boot camp but I don’t get on fb anymore bc I was wasting too much time on there (LOL). Are you going to also send the videos out in the emails? Thx!
Yes I will!
My storage room will now be known as the NUTS ROOM!
Until you get it decluttered and then it will be your oasis!
My problem is doing, doing, and doing by the time I have Exhausted myself, I see back and the mess is still all there. No progress what so ever.
Just 30 minutes at a time. It will happen!
@@MinimalistHome Thank you for the blessings in your wisdom. I will continue to improve little by little.
Ah, yes, put it back where it belongs, not in a different place every time. If only I could convince my hubs of this.
SO true!! I deal with this from time to time too
“You’re lazy and you don’t deserve a break.” “You aren’t even good enough to get things done.” Are you in my brain?
Haha, no, but I'm in mine!
Your point was well illustrated by the nagging person! Great idea!
haha, thanks Mary!
That clutter is the person telling you that you have failed.
After dealing with a NPD, that sounds (to me) like manipulation.
The clutter is manipulation?
