so true! It is almost an addiction. And the sad thing for me is that there is nothing left to declutter in my apartment... but that also very nice because now I just have what I really care about :)
You could get a scrapbook and put some of your favourite memories into it so you have some things but all in one place and not absolutely everything. Eg. you could stick one of the scoobies into the scrapbook and write next to it something about your business (what you did, how much you sold them for, how old you were etc.). You could also stick in some of the pictures you drew and some of your diary entries... That way, when you're old, you have these memories to look back on and show your children and grandchildren but there's not loads of it and it's just little bits and bobs that can remind you of those times. You can also add in old tickets, photos, holiday postcards etc. You could also stick little envelopes on some pages to put items in and just keep adding to it as you go along x
Jade you're not the only one! We all have that moving bug that we bought cause it was the cheapest thing in the gift shop at some random museum. Just cause we wanted to buy something 😂😂
yeah I also wanted to comment that I remember having the same box with the bug as a child but I have no idea where it came from... maybe it was a gift.
@@nolinealili Yeah I remember having those bugs too. I think it was one of those things from field trips I went on with my classmates. Anytime we went to a place with a gift shop, everyone else had a ton of money so they could buy stuff. I never had that much money so I could only buy cheap little things because I wanted to not be left out.
Oh my god, my diaries of my teens years are full of curses on studies, and my family members. Shameful drama stories about boys, girls and my friends. I also, noticed that the older i got, the more my diaries became about my mental health and my relationship with myself; people do not matter anymore.
Jade, you need to watch this show called ANNE WITH AN E it's sooo inspiring and it also covers these topics feminism,racism, education,gender bias, foster care, human rights , beauty standards, sexual harassment, representation,LGBTQ+ rights, health care, acceptance,grief, classism and indigenous history. Also your friend ruby loves it so maybe you should give it a try.
Hey Jade! I've seen you from the video that you're telling us how did you manage to wake up at 5 am. I watched it and today i woke up at 6 am. I saw your morning routine , you were writing to your diary , planning your day. Yesterday i bought myself a diary and i started writing as well. I'm thinking of starting meditation /yoga. Shortly , i want to say that you are such an inspiration to me. Your every video has a message and i love it! When i'm watching you i can feel my life or personality improves , gets better. I really really love you and you are truly my role model. Thanks so much for showing me the path and helping through making my life more organized and defintely better ❤❤
For going through clothes, the best thing for me was hanging all of the hangers one way then when you wear something you can flip the hanger. At the end of every season you can look and see everything you haven’t worn really easily and declutter from there!
i think minimalism is one of those things that you can make your own. i’m really sentimental and i don’t think that’s a bad thing. i love looking back on things and i’m not about to be really strict on myself
I love how you are the first person on a decluttering and organizing video that had mentioned their sentimental attachment toward items. And, I love that you take the time to show us what the items are and explain when you used them. Great video.
YOU ARE one the people who truly gave me a boost of positive energy to start my own educational channel and i'm so happy about this decision. THANK YOU❤❤
I was dying when you started listening to BTS lmao! Yes welcome to our cult!!! Jk... a lot of us are not that cringe. But in all honesty BTS did help me a lot overcoming personal hurdles. I was a hoarder and would keep a lot of things too even when I didn’t need them. But I was able to clear my home and also my mind. Also they helped me tremendously with my Trichotillomania disorder so for that I’m forever thankful and grateful. Their positivity has rubbed off on me and that’s why now I’m able to focus more on productivity and wellness. They’re one of the reasons I decided to follow channels like yours 💕 Love you Jade 💗
I was literally living in a mess, my room was disaster. I saw your video and I started tyding up right away! You are amazing, thank you so much!! You are a human being full of light that you are sharing with the rest of the world! Thanks Jade!!!
This is such a good thing to do in Quatantine. I started doing it last week too by clearing out my wardrobe but I haven’t done anything since. This video really inspired me to get back on track to minimising :))) love your videos as always Jade
I just moved out which made decluttering so much more easy. Because you're not necessarily throwing stuff away, but you're only taking selecting what stuff comes with you. I still plan on decluttering what I've left at my parents house though, but for now I know for sure what stuff give me good feeling and what stuff I use often.
Just thought I'd say, I had to watch your video with the auto-generated subtitles because I couldn't use sound and you talk SO CLEARLY that it worked 99% perfectly which you know, NEVER happens! So thank you on that front 😂😂
Was stressed and can’t sleep with a racing mind, so I came here to your channel to find some peace and positivity. Thank you for all your inspiring content ❤️
Jade, you are like one of those friends that always make me feel ok and push me to be better even when I've given up. Been subscribed for a long time now and just wanted to send a heartfelt thank you :)
girl I feel the saaaaame way I love minimalism and the concept is amazing but I have SO MUCH STUFF that I tell myself I don't need but when it comes time to declutter I cannot for the life of me get rid of it.
This was so me decluttering, I am so happy I did it because it made my sheltering in place so happy. I also found so many diaries from 13 to 19 year old, I love how everything just brings all the emotions... this was so therapeutic
I just spent 2 days decluttering my room, although definitely not to a minimalist standard! But honestly it feels so much better and I am way less stressed, would highly recommend! The charity shops won't know what to do with all this decluttering going on!
Yeah, recognizable! It can be really hard to part with stuff. When de-cluttering I usually make 3 piles: things I'm certain about getting rid of, keepers and a pile of getting used to part with. Most of the time I part with 80 to 90% of the third pile after 2 weeks. My experience is that it's not always obvious in an instance what you are really attached to and what not. That's why I do it this way. Looking at the result you have reason to be proud of yourself. Good luck with minimalism!
In april I was supposed to move to Japan, this has now not happened and my mum is moving into a new house where It is smaller and I will no longer have a bedroom, this means I need to start to minimalize my things too, This has been so helpful and has given me the motivation!:)
YES!!! 💪 As someone who’s been advocating minimalism for years (and has made videos about it quite a lot ahah) I’m SO HAPPY that a big influencer my age like you is doing the same!!! 😌
I never cared much for diaries, but I have a book where I wrote down philosphical thoughts and quotes in my youth and early adult years. It quickly went from "why are we here" to "there's no reason to be here" to "I want to end this". I've come a long way since then. I'm still not sure - whether I should keep this reminder of how fast darkness can pull you down, since this also shows, how much strength I possess to have fought and resisted it for so many years - or if I should throw away this book filled with so many negative thoughts. btw: First entry was the famous "Gnothi seauton". In my experience, this is something de-cluttering can really help you with. =)
Thanking TH-cam for recommending me this channel because this is the first ever video i watched on your channel. It was a random Sunday afternoon and when i opened youtube, i saw this video. Totally loved the vibes 🥰
Yes jade! I honestly got so excited when you played BTS lol. They have so many amazing and inspirational songs and I feel like if people actually read the lyrics they would understand just how amazing they are💜
With the sentimental cupboard situation.. I did have the same problem. I just created a box only for things that mean something to me and they're not useful, but I just can't rid of them.. So DIY box for memories solved this one for me! I can recommend doing that.
In Germany there are a lot of places with public bookcases. It means you can take your old books and put them inside so another one can take one of those books to read as well. I don't spend money on books because I love to see which books are in the bookcase and let me inspire by these. Maybe there's something similar in your area. As a book lover it's the best way to read a lot of books without spending a lot of money. Also you don't need a lot of space. If you've read it you can take it back and get another one. It's brilliant😊📖
My biggest struggle in becoming a minimalist (though I'm way too sentimental to ever fully commit to that lifestyle 😅) is getting rid of good quality stuff that I know I won't ever use, but it's also really hard to sell or give away. It's stuff like wallets, all kinds of containers, moneyboxes, childish jewellery, cheap plastic toys... It's really hard to throw away something that you know could theoretically be useful, but in fact it's really difficult to find a new owner for the thing (I do try Facebook groups etc., but some things are just not worth the effort for other people).
Your videos are literally the highlight of my day during lockdown as I can't do much else on my gap year!! If anyone here is thinking of taking a gap year next year I've got a new video going live on my channel in an hour with some ideas of what you could do :)
Jade a BIG tip that helped me was to take photos of sentimental stuff that was hard to part with. Then u can make a folder of those things or even make a photo album of them. You get to 'keep' them in a way.
The ARMY part of me screamed at 9:36 And yes, I have to be that person: Once you JimIN, you can't JimOUT On a more serious and less cringy note however; They really did help me a lot through depression and anxiety and although I still struggle with it, BTS' music, lyrics and videos help me so much when I'm struggling mentally💜
personally I do this to my room probably every few months. I'm not trying to be a minimalist because I love stuff too much but i think it's very therapeutic to know exactly what u own and refine the things you love
Being minimalist really save a lot of money. Also combine with diy ideas. No need to buy new things. Just recreate things you like. I’m really inspired 🥰 let’s support each other ladies. 😍
Same goes for me too ㅠㅠ I have really wanted to declutter my wardrobe during quarantine (especially since I'll start uni abroad this fall) but it's still sooo messy😅
I am also very sentimental but I know that when it comes to journals, drawings and random journals, I definitely won't make an exception. I love going through my mum's old art journals and the things we created with my sister when we were little. I cannot part with this and I hope that my kids will one day have a way of connecting with me from the past
Actually I love a lot one of your concepts whatever you contest on your own. And I think minimalism is one of the most specific fact that helpful to maintain a healthy life. So I love this exquisite concept anymore. You are a mischievous girl. I like you so much.
I am currently binge-watching your videos in between study sessions and it’s so funny when you said getting into KPop. Like I started learning Korean around the same time as you (summer 2020) and I literally have a playlist called “trying real hard to like kpop” (as I am like 100% rock) but I feel the need to know some because everyone who studies Korean is there because of it😂
Woow, Jade you really left an amazing impression on myself in terms of being a minimalist as I saw lots of stuff you almost completely forgot about them. I suggest you should record more videos being minimalist because I think it really simplifies people's lives.
Ik was ook een tijdje helemaal into het minimalisme en heb toen ook allemaal youtube filmpjes erover gekeken enzo, waardoor jij nu waarschijnlijk tussen mijn aangeraden videos stond, haha. Maar uiteindelijk heeft het mij ook niet echt gebracht dat ik nu echt weinig spullen heb ofzo, nog steeds veel naar mijn idee, maar meer dat m'n huis gewoon veel opgeruimder is. Ik ben nu met mijn man ons eigen huis aan het ontwerpen, en we zijn goed aan het kijken naar wat we echt nodig hebben, dat we het niet groter maken dan nodig is of wat we nodig gaan hebben later (kinderen :p), dus dat zijn wel echt van die minimalistische principes die er langzaam ingegroeid zijn. Als je geen ruimte laat voor spullen die je niet gebruikt kan je ze dus ook niet bewaren. Maar het zal zeker geen tiny house worden, ik wil er wel gewoon oud in kunnen worden! ;) Succes met jouw balans vinden, ik heb me geabboneerd op je kanaal, ben benieuwd hoe het je zal vergaan! En je hebt een mooie persoonlijkheid. :)
I feel like you shouldn’t expect having a lot of stuff to make you happy but at the same time you shouldn’t expect that minimising the number of belongings you have to make you happy either. I think it’s just not about the belongings and about your perception of your life. I don’t get the having no furniture minimalism etc (I know that’s not what you’re doing)
Jade with turtlenecks is me with checked shirts - I have a pink one, red one, yellow, green, blue, black... I’ve sold and donated a few thankfully, I used to have 11 🤦♀️ now have 6 👍 P.S this may be on of my favourite videos of yours. At least I’m not the only one who spends hours getting distracted by cleaning every 5 minutes by reading old diaries and drawings - also motivated me to tidy my room (we’ll see how that goes)
I am also SO painfully sentimental and I found that taking a picture of things that are hard to get rid of (like tshirts from school, crafts, small souvenirs I don't use as decor) made it a lot easier to let things go. I would ask myself if the only value to me is sentimental, would a picture suffice to bring up those feelings again? Do I need the physical object to recall the memories? I also allowed myself to become a digital hoarder. I digitized old school notes, cards from birthdays, and other paper-based items and organized them on a special external hard drive. (also disclaimer, those are tips that were taught to me by our amazing family friend, who practices minimalism, so they're not my original ideas!) A personal habit I created was that if something makes me feel guilty (e.g. I bought this item and never used it, or this was a thoughtful gift from someone else that I don't use) I feel better letting it go when I offer it to friends or family first. If they take it, great! If no one wants it, it confirms that this item isn't bringing value to my life. Lastly, creating a goodreads account and saving all the books I've read onto a shelf (and even writing little reviews!) helped me to get rid of physical books that I was unlikely to read again. Congrats on your journey!
Girl I needed this !!! I've been procrastinating on cleaning up and decluttering for like 2 years lol, I just have so much stuff it's insane. this time i'm definitely doing it this summer
i love how inspiring you are. it really brightens my day whenever i see a new video from you, and you should know that you are definitely making a change in this world.
having just finished school, I'm literally drafting a list of things I need to organise. I Marie-Kondoed my closet, but that was almost 1.5 years ago, so I really need to go onto round two. Thanks for the inspiration, Jade!
your voice reminds me somthing a guy I know said once: "I don't mind the gender, I wanna have her voice". He was talking about Patricia Reyes Spindola (a mexican actress). In conclusion, I like your voice
ohmygod u were so articulate aged 15??!!! i'm turning 16 this year and my diary entries are so all over the place and i use like texting abbreviations and vine and kpop references in them??? like i write about my day and stress etc but not with such perfect words i-- ps: welcome to the fandom uwu not all of us are immature and toxic
I collect keys that I find and don't know that they open in a tin box and if I find a lock that has no key I rummage trhough the box. 😉 And that box takes not that much space. Also buy a book shelf that goes up to the ceiling so you don't have to store your books in your closet. A white Billy from Ikea or so. Maximize vertical space is a key to being organized and not cluttering that much. Try to go through your books as soon as you start to build up books on the shelf again.
I always try to have less but we need all the time removing new stuff! Your video made me yesterday to remove few things from home! Thank you this was a useful video !!
as a ~practicing~ minimalist myself, there’s nothing more satisfying than a good declutter 🤤
so true! It is almost an addiction. And the sad thing for me is that there is nothing left to declutter in my apartment... but that also very nice because now I just have what I really care about :)
amen🤤
I'm loving your content so much at the moment Jade!! I can't wait for your next minimalism video 💫
Awh Ruby!! 🥰🥰 thank you so much! likewise x
Hey Ruby
I’ve been living minimalist ish for the past few years and it’s crazy how much money you save from not buying tat. £3 here £2 there soon adds up.
I write down al the things I buy + the price. It gives you a good overview!
yeees! It's the same for me too! I am saving a lot of money and I am just also so much more focused and happy
You could get a scrapbook and put some of your favourite memories into it so you have some things but all in one place and not absolutely everything. Eg. you could stick one of the scoobies into the scrapbook and write next to it something about your business (what you did, how much you sold them for, how old you were etc.). You could also stick in some of the pictures you drew and some of your diary entries... That way, when you're old, you have these memories to look back on and show your children and grandchildren but there's not loads of it and it's just little bits and bobs that can remind you of those times. You can also add in old tickets, photos, holiday postcards etc. You could also stick little envelopes on some pages to put items in and just keep adding to it as you go along x
Jade you're not the only one! We all have that moving bug that we bought cause it was the cheapest thing in the gift shop at some random museum. Just cause we wanted to buy something 😂😂
And THAT'S where they come from....
yeah I also wanted to comment that I remember having the same box with the bug as a child but I have no idea where it came from... maybe it was a gift.
@@nolinealili Yeah I remember having those bugs too. I think it was one of those things from field trips I went on with my classmates. Anytime we went to a place with a gift shop, everyone else had a ton of money so they could buy stuff. I never had that much money so I could only buy cheap little things because I wanted to not be left out.
I was just about to comment that we had like 3 of them!
Also had several of these and I'm french! This seems to be an international thing
GIRL SAME. I stan minimalism but I am the opposite of it
Oh my god, my diaries of my teens years are full of curses on studies, and my family members. Shameful drama stories about boys, girls and my friends. I also, noticed that the older i got, the more my diaries became about my mental health and my relationship with myself; people do not matter anymore.
Jade, you need to watch this show called ANNE WITH AN E it's sooo inspiring and it also covers these topics feminism,racism, education,gender bias, foster care, human rights , beauty standards, sexual harassment, representation,LGBTQ+ rights, health care, acceptance,grief, classism and indigenous history. Also your friend ruby loves it so maybe you should give it a try.
This is exactly what I thought!
I loved that show :)
That show is my life! 💖

It’s SO good!

i need this type of energy
Rock HD, everyone does:)
For going through clothes, the best thing for me was hanging all of the hangers one way then when you wear something you can flip the hanger. At the end of every season you can look and see everything you haven’t worn really easily and declutter from there!
To everyone who sees this your amazing! During this time if you put your mind to it you can learn anything!
I needed this, thank you 💜
bepositive 1234 your welcome!
She is literally the elder sister we all wanted ;)
🥺🥺
Folkert got her as one though:)

OMG!!! You have made soooo many new videos recently!!! Feeling VERY HONOURED!!!
Jade we NEED the your spotify playlists!! I love your taste in music!! XD
Jade is sooo organised! I call having organisation in life is key.
I'm gonna do the unjaded reset week challenge, I did it last year and the benefits were amazing !!
loveeeee this so much!!
what do you mean with reset week?
Sounds interesting. Can you explain it?
Aaah I love that! I am actually a minimalist and I love tidying and watching people tidying.
yes me too! even though I have spent so many hours decluttering my own stuff I still really like to watch other people declutter :)
Just thought I'd say, I had to watch your video with the auto-generated subtitles because I couldn't use sound and you talk SO CLEARLY that it worked 99% perfectly which you know, NEVER happens! So thank you on that front 😂😂
BAHAHAHA i'll add this to my cv
Was stressed and can’t sleep with a racing mind, so I came here to your channel to find some peace and positivity. Thank you for all your inspiring content ❤️
It's nice to see how happy, cheerfull and truly proud of yourself you look during this process!
who else thinks jade is STUNNING!?
btw i’m a small youtuber💗
Stop spamming please 💕
Psps my name is Mia too!😁
I love how I felt I was cleaning up with you. Your videos are so raw and real it makes me feel so peaceful when I watch.
i’ve been meaning to clean & reorganise my room so thank you for the inspiration! also yesss bts 🥺🙌
A video from Ruby AND Jade on the same day = very happy 😃
Jade, you are like one of those friends that always make me feel ok and push me to be better even when I've given up. Been subscribed for a long time now and just wanted to send a heartfelt thank you :)
I love the books you decided to keep and I love love love how they’re colour coded 😍
girl I feel the saaaaame way I love minimalism and the concept is amazing but I have SO MUCH STUFF that I tell myself I don't need but when it comes time to declutter I cannot for the life of me get rid of it.
You’re such a burst of positivity and sunshine! 🥺🥰🥰🥰
🥺🥺💛
This was so me decluttering, I am so happy I did it because it made my sheltering in place so happy. I also found so many diaries from 13 to 19 year old, I love how everything just brings all the emotions... this was so therapeutic
jade is seriously the only one positive thing for my day! your videos are super motivating and up lifting
I just spent 2 days decluttering my room, although definitely not to a minimalist standard! But honestly it feels so much better and I am way less stressed, would highly recommend! The charity shops won't know what to do with all this decluttering going on!

Anyone else really wanted to see a video of Jade reading her old diaries?😁xxx
Just started watching your channel yesterday after coming here from eve’s japan vlogs and now I’m hooked on your gap year travel vlogs 😁
Welcome to the chaos ✌️😌
In april I was supposed to move to Japan, this has now not happened and my mum is moving into a new house where It is smaller and I will no longer have a bedroom, this means I need to start to minimalize my things too, This has been so helpful and has given me the motivation!:)
I really need to declutter! Watching this video was inspiring.
One thing I did when I became more minimalist is stop buying physical books, because I had a lot, and use one Audio books or ebooks. Very good idea
YES!!! 💪 As someone who’s been advocating minimalism for years (and has made videos about it quite a lot ahah) I’m SO HAPPY that a big influencer my age like you is doing the same!!! 😌
Amazing video! I’ve been a minimalist for 2 years but defo need a big declutter again 😊
I never cared much for diaries, but I have a book where I wrote down philosphical thoughts and quotes in my youth and early adult years. It quickly went from "why are we here" to "there's no reason to be here" to "I want to end this". I've come a long way since then.

This video made me get up and tidy up my room. I've been putting it off for like 3 days but I have finally done it. Thanks for the push Jade!💫
Thanking TH-cam for recommending me this channel because this is the first ever video i watched on your channel. It was a random Sunday afternoon and when i opened youtube, i saw this video. Totally loved the vibes 🥰

And yes, I have to be that person:
Once you JimIN, you can't JimOUT

I literally screamed when I saw that Jade was listening to BTS!!
this song is so good its been on my playlist forever

I just took this step too!! It's a small step to a big journey that will make a big impact for our lives!!
Omg i legit had so many of those wooden bug things. Pointless toys but oh the nostalgia.
It’s true that quarantine is a great time to organize and “minimalize” things....but why is it still hard for me😭
Keep trying! U'll get there!
Stella Forde Aww thank you🙈
Same goes for me too ㅠㅠ
I have really wanted to declutter my wardrobe during quarantine (especially since I'll start uni abroad this fall) but it's still sooo messy😅
I recommend trying to imagine your goal and the feeling you will have in a decluttered and beautiful space! I am sure you will get there, good luck :)
ecofriend. lia thanks for the advice🥰
your lockdown content is something I didn't know I wanted
Yessss!!! I’ve done the same thing in my room during lockdown, it’s so therapeutic
same here! just there is not much left since I have been a minimalist for several years now :)
You are such a ray of sunshine 🌞💕
This video really inspired me, thanks so much. Plus your book shelf is so aesthetic now 💕 💫 🍀
“Can anyone tie up their hair with their own hair?” As another girl with thick, curly hair, the answer is yes xD
My hair are curly too but they just slip so easily if I do that-
Ruby and Jade uploading at the same time!?!? How do I choose who to watch!?!!
I am also very sentimental but I know that when it comes to journals, drawings and random journals, I definitely won't make an exception. I love going through my mum's old art journals and the things we created with my sister when we were little. I cannot part with this and I hope that my kids will one day have a way of connecting with me from the past
Actually I love a lot one of your concepts whatever you contest on your own. And I think minimalism is one of the most specific fact that helpful to maintain a healthy life. So I love this exquisite concept anymore. You are a mischievous girl. I like you so much.
I am currently binge-watching your videos in between study sessions and it’s so funny when you said getting into KPop. Like I started learning Korean around the same time as you (summer 2020) and I literally have a playlist called “trying real hard to like kpop” (as I am like 100% rock) but I feel the need to know some because everyone who studies Korean is there because of it😂
Woow, Jade you really left an amazing impression on myself in terms of being a minimalist as I saw lots of stuff you almost completely forgot about them.
I suggest you should record more videos being minimalist because I think it really simplifies people's lives.
Ik was ook een tijdje helemaal into het minimalisme en heb toen ook allemaal youtube filmpjes erover gekeken enzo, waardoor jij nu waarschijnlijk tussen mijn aangeraden videos stond, haha. Maar uiteindelijk heeft het mij ook niet echt gebracht dat ik nu echt weinig spullen heb ofzo, nog steeds veel naar mijn idee, maar meer dat m'n huis gewoon veel opgeruimder is. Ik ben nu met mijn man ons eigen huis aan het ontwerpen, en we zijn goed aan het kijken naar wat we echt nodig hebben, dat we het niet groter maken dan nodig is of wat we nodig gaan hebben later (kinderen :p), dus dat zijn wel echt van die minimalistische principes die er langzaam ingegroeid zijn. Als je geen ruimte laat voor spullen die je niet gebruikt kan je ze dus ook niet bewaren. Maar het zal zeker geen tiny house worden, ik wil er wel gewoon oud in kunnen worden! ;) Succes met jouw balans vinden, ik heb me geabboneerd op je kanaal, ben benieuwd hoe het je zal vergaan! En je hebt een mooie persoonlijkheid. :)
I was just going to look up videos similar to this but then you came up! Yes Jade👏🏼💛
I feel like you shouldn’t expect having a lot of stuff to make you happy but at the same time you shouldn’t expect that minimising the number of belongings you have to make you happy either. I think it’s just not about the belongings and about your perception of your life. I don’t get the having no furniture minimalism etc (I know that’s not what you’re doing)
Agreed, love a good decluttering but not living with the absolute bare minimum
Jade with turtlenecks is me with checked shirts - I have a pink one, red one, yellow, green, blue, black... I’ve sold and donated a few thankfully, I used to have 11 🤦♀️ now have 6 👍
P.S this may be on of my favourite videos of yours. At least I’m not the only one who spends hours getting distracted by cleaning every 5 minutes by reading old diaries and drawings - also motivated me to tidy my room (we’ll see how that goes)
I am also SO painfully sentimental and I found that taking a picture of things that are hard to get rid of (like tshirts from school, crafts, small souvenirs I don't use as decor) made it a lot easier to let things go. I would ask myself if the only value to me is sentimental, would a picture suffice to bring up those feelings again? Do I need the physical object to recall the memories? I also allowed myself to become a digital hoarder. I digitized old school notes, cards from birthdays, and other paper-based items and organized them on a special external hard drive. (also disclaimer, those are tips that were taught to me by our amazing family friend, who practices minimalism, so they're not my original ideas!) A personal habit I created was that if something makes me feel guilty (e.g. I bought this item and never used it, or this was a thoughtful gift from someone else that I don't use) I feel better letting it go when I offer it to friends or family first. If they take it, great! If no one wants it, it confirms that this item isn't bringing value to my life. Lastly, creating a goodreads account and saving all the books I've read onto a shelf (and even writing little reviews!) helped me to get rid of physical books that I was unlikely to read again. Congrats on your journey!
I have such a warm place for the Throne of Glass series in my heart. So sweet to see you love them to!
Girl I needed this !!! I've been procrastinating on cleaning up and decluttering for like 2 years lol, I just have so much stuff it's insane. this time i'm definitely doing it this summer
Tilda I miss ya 🦋 and agh I feel this. sending productive energy
when I watched your video abt learning korean, I told myself I can't wait for my favourite youtuber to discover bts. this is the start of it!! 💜
Minimalism is actually the best thing ever! 🔥
i love how inspiring you are. it really brightens my day whenever i see a new video from you, and you should know that you are definitely making a change in this world.
wow. just... thank you.
having just finished school, I'm literally drafting a list of things I need to organise. I Marie-Kondoed my closet, but that was almost 1.5 years ago, so I really need to go onto round two. Thanks for the inspiration, Jade!
You are such a motivational person i love it!!!! What amazing energy you have
more of this content please! love a tidying up video to motivate myself
your voice reminds me somthing a guy I know said once: "I don't mind the gender, I wanna have her voice". He was talking about Patricia Reyes Spindola (a mexican actress).
In conclusion, I like your voice
A good way to separate drawers into compartments for different items is to use old shoeboxes! I’ve tried it and it works really well 😊
ohmygod u were so articulate aged 15??!!! i'm turning 16 this year and my diary entries are so all over the place and i use like texting abbreviations and vine and kpop references in them??? like i write about my day and stress etc but not with such perfect words i--
ps: welcome to the fandom uwu not all of us are immature and toxic
this is the first video i’ve seen of you but i love your energy sm
Reading old diaries is the best!!!! (also sometimes it's a bit embarrassing)
I collect keys that I find and don't know that they open in a tin box and if I find a lock that has no key I rummage trhough the box. 😉 And that box takes not that much space. Also buy a book shelf that goes up to the ceiling so you don't have to store your books in your closet. A white Billy from Ikea or so. Maximize vertical space is a key to being organized and not cluttering that much. Try to go through your books as soon as you start to build up books on the shelf again.
Love this video because it's so realistic. I know that I'm the same when it comes to getting distracted while decluttering...
Jade, you are literally the elder sister, I never had and thank you for that ❤️❤️
I always try to have less but we need all the time removing new stuff! Your video made me yesterday to remove few things from home! Thank you this was a useful video !!
I found this so relatable! I also love the idea of minimalism but am so sentimental and find it hard to let go. Thank you for this video ❤
