100 things to declutter today

[@ginnycook9224]

I am amazed that you can be so organized with ADHD I suffer so much with staying organized!!

[@dlynch1898]

Congrats 🍾🎉🎊🎈 on 3 years and 55k. How amazing that you’ve helped me and encouraged me so much and I am so grateful. Also you have a new camera. Blessings!!!!

[@judysbakeryandtestkitchen1654]

I agree with giving your stuff to a crafter. I gave away all of my crochet patterns and yarn to a new crochet person. It made getting rid of it feel a lot better. After listening to this video, I realized that I really haven’t liked my old bronzer and blush . I bought a better one and I keep going past the old ones. The old ones are years old. Even though I Decluttered that area, I guess this is the second pass. I got rid of the old ones Congratulations on the camera! And thanks for the great tips

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Yay!!!! It's easy to have blinders to our 'stuff'. Great job, Judy!

[@kimisbister3951]

Congratulations on the new (to you!) video camera! I hope you love more than you think you will! Hugs!

[@maggiedudley8756]

Congratulations on getting a camera! Funny, last week I purged many items, and off my phone too. Thanks 😊

[@LynnsLaunderette]

So glad you mentioned digital clutter. People forget that is a form of clutter. I suggest people go thru their photo roll weekly and declutter duplicates ...and BACK THEM UP IN THREE PLACES!! I lost a hard drive due to failure last summer. I was elated that I had backed it up someplace else. We remodeled our kitchen two years ago. I had to take everything out of the cabinets. It was an eye opener for my husband how much we had. We now have half. 🤩 Great list!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I'm SO glad you had them backed up too!!!! It's the worst feeling when you realize you've lost data - because you can never remember EXACTLY what you had - just that it was important!

[@julieannmunoz8748]

Congratulations

[@oatssettle846]

So wonderful for you to have a video camera. All you have done in just a phone is AMAZING!!! Which just goes to show, when you bring value, it doesn't matter the platform, although I would have never guessed it was all phone. Kudos to you, you are so AWESOME❣❣❣ ♥️👏👏🏆👏👏💪🙂🎉❣

[@carolhydon7324]

Hi Norrine! I love this video! I’m going to do it today. I’m going to throw/give away 10 things from each room. How brilliant and simple! Imagine if you did it for a week or a month! I love small snippets of decluttering. Thank you xx I’m having a rough day with my fybro and everything feels too much, but little things to do are perfect for feeling better xx

[@janahagen7223]

Carol, I'm right there with you with the fibro. I can sit and do little, puttery things when I'm having a rough day (week, month).

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Carol - go slow! No rush as all. I'd rather you only do 10 per day, than push yourself and be out for a few days. xoxox

[@debradavid929]

Oh my goodness, haha..... I have five bedrooms / beds, and have extra sheets for three.... and six bathrooms..... yes, crazy older custom built house, but newer to us home.... We and our family / friends so far, have loved the house and land, and hosting events as well as guests that did come to visit and relax..... before the pandemic set in.... I tend to keep loads and loads of towels, but 5 of 6 are full baths, and I often have to change hand and kitchen towels like crazy! Lol... yep, this space is super easy to clutter and hoard! So happy you can help and give advise that I so need!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

What an amazing place you have!!!!! I understand needing a bit more on hand for that sized house!!!!! If you ever want some help, let me know!

[@debradavid929]

The Crafty Organize lol, I was on a roll of letting go and passing on.... We have two HS age kids, learning remote now... We also have a son away on his own, but working on his PHD, so living carefully and frugal..... goodness now, during this pandemic...... I must say, that we are using loads of items again, to entertain ourselves, cook, bake, repurpose, sew with and craft with..... it is kinda a treasure and challenge to use what I/we saved (and moved), and is also cutting out needless spending and often helping others that we know need help.... haha I love to cook, bake, sew, garden, craft, scrapbook,.... and most of all, make and send/share greeting cards! I recently during this pandemic and my kids learning from home, this last March.... well I left my super small kinda job.... that is still a heartbreaking issue/decision. I needed to be here with family (and my husband is the bread winner I stayed home, 18 yrs or more ( my job.... to get out of house, pay for others to deep clean it..... (I worked for a nonprofit org, 10 hours a week, min wage.... with huge responsibility ( it is nonprofit and I took that into the factor... and also spent many of my extra hours helping..). So, once my kids were home and in remote school last spring, my working became a situation not worth the risks, or all the volunteer and travel time. So, in short, your informational and uplifting videos, kind spirt, are such a blessing! lol we need to visit more!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

What a lovely comment, Debra! I love reading about how you and your family have filled your time. It's been such a different year. We've pulled out games and supplies that have been forgotten on upper shelves. I guess that's the hidden blessing from all of this. Thanks for watching - visit anytime 💛

[@christinabo63]

As someone who doesn't own a dryer and has to dry clothes in my attic, I have and need a bunch of towels. In Germany dryers aren't nearly as common as in the US. In the attic the towels and other clothes take days to dry in winter or don't dry completely without hanging them near the radiator in the living room for the last bit. I don't want all the moisture in my apartment, so I need to use the attic. Also my cats wouldn't be happy with a drying rack in the hallway where they have their racing track. 😂

[@rachelburgener819]

🤣🐱 totally understandable on the dryer ❤️😀

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Thank you, Christina!!! I often forget my videos make it out of the USA. I appreciate that insight! 🌺

[@dianeboileau2026]

This is a wonderful idea and it really gives me such satisfaction to get rid of things I don't use or need! I bet I could end up decluttering more than just 10 things in some of the rooms! Will definitely try this! Thank you for sharing!

[@kathiebaldwin6169]

I did most of this with you today! I did not do digital though and I still need to find 10 things from my craft room. From all of the other places, I did at least 10 items. It was a great way to work on decluttering because it wasn't at all overwhelming! I actually kept pausing & restarting the video as I worked through it!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

That is amazing, Kathie!!!! Way to go! 🌺💜🌺

[@ChickTrucker]

I love your videos and this one is awesome!! Like many of your other viewers I have chronic pain. I also have chronic "I cant get rid of anything." All the clutter is driving me insane. I have OCD, I have ADD, and I also have anxiety...looking at the piles growing is paralyzing me even more than the chronic pain. I am going to try this one day at a time...I love this idea.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I hope this helps! Keep the number small.... maybe 10 per 15 min. session. Any progress will feel good! Keep me posted 🌻

[@TheLovelyMissBeans]

When you said, "get rid of 100 items today" I was like, "that's awesome! That's what I should do today!" But after you started diving in, I started to feel stressed and overwhelmed. Thanks for the reminder at the end that its ok to just do a little at a time. Im going to pick out 5 things today to get rid of. (Bonus: tomorrow is trash day, so perfect day for it!)

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Love that! Yes!!! And I will celebrate with you with each session - no matter how many it is. 💜

[@TheLovelyMissBeans]

@@TheCraftyOrganizer You're the best! So reporting in: I got rid of a broken mirror. (My mother always said to bury it during the full moon, so I did). I also got some empty boxes out to the trash, and some old wood trim i had pulled down to replace weeks ago. I packed up some old electronics to take to recycle tomorrow, and threw out all the random batteries laying around in the junk drawer. (Why do men put new batteries in something and dump the old ones in the drawer?)

Great ideas, Norinne! I could probably get rid of 100 books today. Thanks for the idea! I have not noticed any "quality" issues in your videos, I see a perfect presentation every time! I do recall your own comments that there have been problems with sound and maybe editing. Congrats on the new camera, I know you will do wonderfully with it!

You are sweet. Thanks, Patricia!

[@TheLovelyMissBeans]

Get rid of books? I know all those words, but when they are arranged in that order, I do not understand what they mean. :)

[@KindlySo]

You are so funny, thank you for the giggles! I will donate them, not throw them away, I promise. One I was going to sell, my puppy managed to tear up today, not a huge loss, but, oh well, at least it wasn't my new shoes! Thank you and happy reading!! I have always got a book going...meaning I am reading it, not writing...

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

@MissBeans 😆😝😉

[@veevee111]

I love all your tips. I think I can easily get rid of 20 cosmetic things, at least. Just a note: folks should check with their local sanitation Dept for special instructions on how to dispose of paint cans or sprays; household or automotive batteries; digital or techy items. Some computer stores take the techy things and some hardware stores take used batteries. My borough has a once yearly recycling and paper shredding event but this year the pandemic put a kabosh on it.

I can probably find a few items in the linen closet - but I am a Towel Ho, and need my towels 😐 My junk drawer -I must toot my horn here - is very neat and organized. I use everything in it regularly. Under the bathroom sink is spooky territory. It's an old vanity and it's big. Big and full. That may be my best place to start to get the incentive I need to move along. My closet is tough - I have said before I have a Hoarder 's brain, and that is difficult at times. Oh I just KNOW there will be an occasion where I can wear this. Yes I do need \want all of my cardigans and hoodies. I probably have 10 pairs of shoes including snow boots so I think they're all keepers. Blah blah blah... Things that belonged to loved ones I have lost ??- yeah I put the mental in sentimental! BUT I like you and your ideas and I want to try. Bathroom sink here I come 😬 I mean 😁

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

You've got this!!!! Only take breaks, focus on the like items with like items first: cleaning product, hair product, body product, etc. This allows an easier breakdown for decisions. Let me know how it goes!

[@lauraann7816]

Long story short - I decided to do the sink counter first in bathroom today. Old toothbrushes replaced with fresh ones, 2 empty travel cases for toothbrushes that were ucky, EMPTY toothpaste tubes, and an empty shampoo bottle -- total 14 items! Yay! Not just in one room, one small area. I honestly had other things to get done today so under the sink has to wait until Monday (going to a bbq tomorrow) but I have incentive - my counter looks so nice! Thanks for your constant encouragement 😊

Good ideas! Some I already do! Really love the craft one! I do a lot of different crafts some could consider kiddish like the boxes kits you can get that I no longer 100% into anymore but can't seem to 'get rid of' Cause its a craft. Maybe gift it to someone else! Even though I have a junk drawer in the kitchen its mostly just user guides and markers. My "junk drawer' is the basket or mini tote of random stationery or craft supplies that are little that I just don't want to dump into a trash bin but takes forever and a lot out of me to go through even half of one, let alone all of them. Been working on organizing my craftroom better but they are still eye sores I just not sure what to do with.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I promise - set that timer for 10-15 min a day.... set out a bunch of little bags/boxes for sorting and you will be done with those supplies in no time!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Start with the most important/favorite things first!!!! The left-overs become easier to let go once you have what is really important. If you can find a way to 'move' into another room with your things - the rest of the house is staging space to sell/donate. (That's my plan when I get my RV!)

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Hi Felicidad!!!! 💜 Thanks for the info. :)

[@OrganizeCreateDecorate]

Great tips, as always, Norrine. When it comes to out date pantry items, I always check still tasty dot com before getting rid of things. Many food goods last longer than that date. Still Tasty has saved a lot of food from being tossed in our home with their informative site. It doesn't go by brand, but by type of food. Most dates now are "best by", meaning the manufacturer chooses a date they feel will give the optimal taste. The site also tells you what to look for as signs of it's no longer edible. I'm a keeper of boxes items came in. It came from early in our marriage when we moved a lot. I would say for those that do move a lot, such as military families, keeping the boxes isn't a bad thing. They rely on others to pack their goods up, so having those boxes to keep each item packed super safe is comforting. Even if you pack yourself, with these boxes and all their innards, it's peace of mind knowing you won't have broken items when you arrive at your new home. If you are only keeping them because you might need to return the item, mark the return by date on a calendar and toss the box once you've passed that point.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Yes! Thank you for that resource! I had done a video on "Feel good reasons to purge" and I'd talked about places food could still be donated/used. But missed it this time. Thank you SO much for sharing that site and letting others know. 💜

Over the past year, I have given away two complete wardrobes as I downsized ME! I bought new towels for two of our bathrooms and donated a ton of towels, (bath and hand), washcloths, a shower curtain with it's matching rug! I have four or five boxes sitting in the garage of things I've decided to donate since the pandemic started. I don't know if they are accepting donations in this area yet (Nebraska has just be added, AGAIN, to Chicago's block list.). Our Republican governor is following Trump's horrible example of no action or bad actions to stop the spread of Covid-19. But the makeup idea is one I will follow up on, what a GREAT idea! We used to be two of those people who saved boxes. But we've gotten better about getting rid of them once the warranties expire. (Except now we are saving cardboard for a HUGH area in our back yard that needs to be re-mulched and we plan to use the cardboard under the new mulch to help it last longer in an environmentally friendly way!). Thanks again for your videos, it's always a pleasure to see your smiling face!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Two wardrobes?!?! You rock!!!!!! Hope the donation places open for you soon. Many churches are taking things to sell themselves, to raise money for their communities. A few calls may be worth a try. 🌺

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Hi, Cynthia! I have about 155 videos. You can watch them all here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5WVq3d7arBjhs0 I'd store them in binders! They sell sheet protectors where you can store them double sided on one sheet!!!! Imagine, 8 DVD's in the space of 1/4 inch!!!! You can have these binders by genre, or alphabetically! But, it does mean letting go of the cases. If that's something you would do... here's the sleeves: www.staples.com/ideastream-vaultz-two-sided-cd-refill-pages-for-three-ring-binder-black-clear-25-pk/product_IDEVZ01401?cid=PS:GooglePLAs:IDEVZ01401&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=IDEVZ01401&KPID=IDEVZ01401&gclid=Cj0KCQjwnqH7BRDdARIsACTSAdtHw-pegLpmSyyiv1yM7TtdSI3-j6xTS1MjY53BXcscuwhn8ambF6oaAnfkEALw_wcB

OK got a questioon for you. I still have a desktop computer that I haven't touched in about 12 years, and I am afraid to just take it to the dead electronic place. My reason is that when the company I was working for shut down they gave several of us from the office our machines we used at work. They were "scrubed" but mine at least was not clean, and I did the payroll for 300+ employees. Some of the data is still there, I have seen it. The hard drive needs to be destroyed. Any sugestions? I know how to remove it, but how much violence is needed to really kills it?

I took my hard drive out and 'watered' it for several weeks..... it finally started to rust/corrode. Only THEN did I smash it to bits and discard. Pretty sure it will never resurrect. LOL

Okay I think my talking about you has made your common sense rub off on Joe. We are together 13 years, so he knows and understands me. I lost my daughter, so getting rid of items tied to her is very tough. He is very understanding. Today, however, we were in Home Goods and I saw a set of really cute Halloween mugs in their own vertical - small footprint - stand. I said I would really like to get these. He said I'll make a deal with you. I will support you getting these because they are cute- there are 4 mugs - 4 of us in the house - we don't have any Halloween ones -- but you have to get rid of 4 of the cluster *#£× of mugs in the cabinet. Four for four. My instant response was these won't even go in the cabinet - they have a stand. I don't care - 4 for 4 is the deal. I said fine Clutter Fairy Jr - deal! And yes I purged 4 + 3 more! Yay
