    If you are on the fence about an item of clothing, wear it. Just wear it while you do errands or even just around the house (obviously doesn't apply to cocktail dresses and fancy clothes). Pretty soon you will know if you hate it, it doesn't fit, etc. This has helped me a lot.

    I am Autistic and ADHD and have pretty bad executive dysfunction. Something that helps me is thinking about very small steps. Sometimes it's as basic as: put feet on the ground, stand up, walk to kitchen, drink water... and then thinking about and doing those really basic things can help with even the worst of inertia to do something like put away dishes, clean dishes... and sometimes that will lead into decluttering or a rearrangement of my living room.
    Also another thing that has helped me is to try and think in percentages. I can't always give everything to every day. But it's an accomplishment even if its 1%, 5%, 20% and I end up having to stop.
    I like the small chunk methods because it's a lot more doable. The big decluttering cleaning projects just don't happen for me often and I can't force or coax myself into that kind of state because it's a high energy state I don't normally operate at.

      ​@@indiabilly I did that for years with washing dishes! I'd set up the laptop or my phone by the sink and it was such a help.
      Now I've come to the point where I mind washing dishes so little that I think, "oh, I'll just do it quickly, it's not that much" and don't even need the distraction. I never expected that development, but I'm grateful! (Also I think that the regular dishwashing made possible by the Netflix playing during, turned into smaller dish piles and now it's very uncommon to go two days without washing. Often I'll do it more than once a day, just because I've become attached to having a clear counter and it doesn't seem like a daunting task.)

    • @thesender6793
      @thesender6793 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you’re getting other things done that need doing, you’re still making progress, not wasting time. Don’t feel you HAVE TO do the big/difficult job first. Doing so is one possible strategy, not the only one that works.
      In regard to those items I really dread doing but would love to be done with, I don’t care to think about eating any frogs. Not first, not “later”, not ever (Yes, I am familiar with the quote and its use by declutterers). I AM, however, willing to slay a dragon. It’s a simple change in outlook, but it really works for me. If you can’t stomach eating a frog, maybe slay a dragon. Or substitute any other metaphor that empowers you to “git ‘er done.”

    I agree with everything said in this video. Although I never had clutter in my life, I did donate some of my clothes and also gave some to my nephew. What is important though is that once we get rid something, do not replace it; otherwise, decluttering will become meaningless. I am happy to say that without my furniture, I can fit everything I own into a medium size car in one haul. I had to get rid my only pair of running shoes after 24 year, yep, no kidding, 24 years, because the sole on one shoe split in half while I was in Central Park. I guess Nike owes me nothing.🙂

    And another -and even BETTER- idea: HIRE SOMEONE to do it for you. Easy peasy.

      No, we did declutter it! The fan broke and we sent it to the recycling center and the company replaced it for us ☺️ We like the fan, so we wanted the same one.

    Can I just ask...why do content creaters feel the need to put their hands or objects right up to the camera? I'm wathcing with my eyes which are on my face. If you were telling me this in person would you put your hand or a tomato an inch away from my face?

      It's a clever way to transition from one setting/screen to another, in this case going from the statement that grabs your attention to the rest of the introduction (rather than using a sliding screen or a dissolve).
      If this were a face-to-face conversation she would not take you to the next room to continue chatting after saying hello. However, this is video so the "rules" of conversation and holding the viewer's attention are different. Hope this gives some clarity 😊

    This is something i needed to hear right now.. i've been doing decluttering for 10 months now and I recently feel so sick and tired because I badly wanted to remove all the clutter right away.. that chunk by chunk method is something that will definitely help me.. thanks for the reminder!

    The 'state' of your kitchen is amusing to me in that it illustrates as even your pristine house doesn't how much easier it is to keep things in order when you have less stuff. That mess is nothing 😄
