Thanks foe sharing! Love from Ubatuba, SP Brazil

Thinking of using a grey storage bin for my crafting supplies, I want to leave it in my living room. Would this look odd? Should I try and purchase some form of furniture to house it instead?

Super late finishing watching this stream but I had to comment with my favorite Christmas song, which is I'll Be Home for Christmas! I love the multilayered meanings, it can be beautiful or sad, so much emotion in it no matter which way you look at it. Not enough contemporary artists cover that one! Least favorite has always been Little Drummer Boy simply because of the repetition, but I've heard some very nice versions of it in recent years! And I have completely changed my mind about Santa Baby and Baby, It's Cold Outside. Both perfectly good songs after all! Who knew? 😂

Your videos always inspire me !!! Something irrelevant that i wanted to ask for ages, what is your lipstick? I love this color!!

Next book?!?! So excited!!!

It's always so awesome of you to host these challenges!

There are somethings I will never lend out. Just a lesson I learned years ago. A friend broke my $800 seeing machine. No one gets to borrow my canner. Just saying.

I crushed three black trash bags in my our bedroom closet today. Still more to try on and then hit it harder. Then I’m moving over to bedroom drawers. This was a no brainer. I will then hit the bathroom. Since my husband was on vacation it was the perfect time. I plan on moving to Christmas by Sunday. 2/3 gone. I want it down to three boxes of Christmas instead of twenty. I hope to have whole house, attic, a huge shop done by next fall. Then I can start on repairs on house. I’m 58. It’s time. If you’re not good at donating, throw it out…NOW.

I joined and somehow didn't see the workbook mentioned in one of your emails. Oops. I hope my brain engages before the 9th.

Why on earth do you have to talk and talk and talk about nothing for more than half the video? You have a REVIEW site. People want to see and hear about the product!!

Yayyyy! Your challenges are always awesooooome! 🎉

Hey friends! I had to repost this video (it was choppy yesterday…maybe still a bit 🤔) Thanks again!

❤❤❤

Wasn't this video posted yesterday? LOL I could have sworn you did this yesterday

Love your posts!!

Happy new Year❣️

I have been thinking/mulling and plan to make big changes in the New Year! Thanks for the encouragement 😃

0:50 my mom’s grandmother did this! Near the end of her life she started putting tags on everything for who or where it should go. But she was also open to debate about it; my mom claimed more than a few things that were going to be donated or thrown away. By the time the grandmother did pass away, everybody had already sorted out what they did or didn’t want.

Finally listenning to the last half of this ON CHRISTMAS DAY! :0) I have been reflecting on how much my decluttering efforts from this entire year have been supporting me these last few days leading up to Christmas morning! Was it chaotic last night (adn the night before)? YES! Did I sleep enough? Not really! Did we all have highs and lows (& did some people - maybe often me - loose our patience a but nore than usual (which is already a lot...)? YES! HOWEVER, with all the last minute things I had going on Christmas Eve, I was so much more able to juggle all the tast without dropping as many balls! I could do the tasks I needeed to do with less perfectionism (not to mention tidy up after myself and get the kids to do the same) and also set aside things I couldn't get to (and there were open spaces to put said things!). I could go on and on, but I need to do some dishes and this video is meant to help me focus on that! LOL

Merry Christmas

My favorite catch phrase. Three words containing crazy dangerous egoism, nihilism, and ephemeral ignorance. Ace of Bass on Bora Bora ... "Its a beautiful life, oh oh oh oh"?

I have been doing this for so many years without knowing 😂

My kids are older so I am ready to get rid of a lot and pack some away for future grandkids. Most of our sets are half together and half in pieces because they were played with.

I'm so exhausted, I had to watch twice. However, I perked up each time you said, "the right stuff," because NKOTB.

"Sock Bermuda Triangle." Awesome.

When you mentioned socks, it reminded me of my dryer repair. When the technician removed the drum of my dryer we found socks!! So, this PROVES that dryers do eat socks. Right now I do have clutter, but it will be resolved in the kitchen and my bedroom by tomorrow. I have dishes and counters to wash and a load of laundry once I get some laundry supplies to prevent running colors. The rest of the clutter is a MAJOR disaster that looks like Hurricane Hannah blew in to stay. Nothing has been decluttered in about 10 years due to my husband's health, death, and an endless list of problems that would put a sosp opera to shame. But, I have a plan. I just need to execute it. I have not followed a weekly plan in at least 7 years. The day after Christmas I'll be finishing this year and starting on next year. Here's hoping 2025 is great for you and yours.

I have a basket of socks that may or may not have a match

Your videos always make me feel hopeful..but I´m yet to fully declutter😊

Another great video, thank you! 💖

I can't stress enough the need to tidy up daily, and put things away properly. If not done, NO system is going to work. I've helped someone organize several areas repeatedly, but she doesn't maintain those areas. All it takes is a second to place an item in an easy spot (one motion, no lids, one-handed), but if you just throw the item in the drawer or shelf, that area will obviously quickly return to chaos. I'm not talking complicated organizing either. My other observation about this same individual is that they also have not set up storage solutions in some areas that need it bc of the concern for creating clutter. But now their child has nowhere to put those items away, so they just scatter around on the dresser, fall on floor, etc. Balance and maintenance.

Is this app still valid with customer service support? I tried to create an account and spent two weeks going round and round with no response to requests for assistance. I finally deleted the app but can’t tell if I’ll continue to be charged. Also can’t access account online. It sends me in an update password spiral. Frustrating.

I want to join the challenge but I have doctor appts on day 1. Will replays be available?. I promise I will be present on day 2 and 3.😊

I gave 3 bags Christmas decorations to a thrift store. My house looks so much better. plus when my kids were little they helped pick up their toys. If they didnt, toys went in a bag for donation. My kids were taught to be responsible for their belongings. Plus they helped with chores around the house.

I ask our adult kids if they want stuff before I donate often now. The rule is if they want it come get it now because it’s going to op shop in 24 hrs if not gone before ❤ I’m not storing stuff I don’t want in my house anymore 😅

I'm drinking water....my favorite Christmas carol is: Carol of the Bells....my favorite Christmas song: Breath of Heaven. We LOVE Shortbread cookies decorated....and, undecorated. We had T-bone steaks one year for Christmas and Latke potatoes... and, other sides....YUM! I do enjoy a good cup of coffee or a hot tea: my favorite of late: Twinnings Chai Pumpkin Spice.... delicious! ❤🎄❤

This is such a brilliant idea - love Swedish Death Cleaning principles 😊

I can’t go to some of my loved ones’ houses because of the build up of junk they have. It makes me feel so overwhelmed and stressed, and even dirty like I gotta wash my hands a million times in some houses…. 😩 I want so badly to offer help but I don’t want to offend.

20:40 before you even start !! Then what is the foundation of the clutter? 9:53 why do i want less clutter? 11:46 Where to start? 17:57 is this worth keeping ? 18:10 little steps … 5 to 30 min a day .. 26:13 where to start (again) pick a “winnable” place for you. 27:16 Where NOT to start. (Do my own stuff first.. leave other ppls till later)

9:21 ?’s to ask

My biggest difficulty is things that I might use for a crafty project. I get so many ideas of how I can use them that I can’t throw them out and when I try to do the same in the craft room the same thing happens.

Dana's audio version of Decluttering at the Speed of Life was my spring board into decluttering. So relatable and even funny since Dana was the narrator. Highly recommend the audio book!

Oh Alan Rickman, my crush for years. That voice!

Favourite TV shows: Charlie Brown Christmas (could be all 3. Plus entire soundtrack, love so much) A Christmas Story, and A Christmas Carol (George C Scott) and Die Hard is our guilty pleasure. 😊 and The Grinch. There are so many good ones! Least: Love Actually.
