Are you working along with me today, or watching first? What have you been holding on to...sports equipment, craft items, books? 😍 Want to clean and declutter with me in a different area of your house?

I had clearly not been living until I heard the Hygge Pom-Pom Decluttering be with me. Like the blessing at the end of a church service. Thank you so much for the reminder that a bit every day will eventually get there.

[@DianeinDenmark]

You are so very welcome, Wendy! Rah, rah, rah! 🎉🎉🎉

[@averildaniels7479]

I’m loving your haircut, as always. It makes you look brighter. ( glowing) thanks for always encouraging us to push forward.

[@Budgetmeright]

My favourite channel 💖 Diane is my "virtual mom" she taught me everything I know about cleaning up. I still remember the day I have found her channel and just dressed to shoes because she told me to 😂

[@DianeinDenmark]

😅 Aww, thank you so much! 🙌😍

[@karenengebretson9771]

I've been decluttering for over 10 years and I STILL find things in the zones. It just never ends and it's so rewarding to clear a little space.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Go you, Karen!

[@bex438]

I really love watching decluttering videos, it's amazing what we can find when we think we have nothing else to get rid of. In the last day I've managed to fill a charity bag just by going through my things systematically 👍😎

[@DianeinDenmark]

Well done, Bex! 💪💪💪

[@AMC-G-k1b]

Thank you as always Diane, I decluttered the cat’s toy box alongside you, took all of 5 minutes yet I’ve been putting it off for ages. I still need to overcome the idea that tasks are going to take 10 x longer than they actually do. 🙄 Have a lovely week 💕

[@DianeinDenmark]

Wonderful, Anna - go you! Do you use a timer? Best way to get started (and not to go overboard)!

[@michellegiblin6812]

Jewellery video please

[@marykosanke5431]

It is so funny how how often I really connect with you. This morning I told my husband that instead of working in my normal "other" room, I was going to work in my trailer. I've never considered the trailer an extra room before. It is a place where I store things that I use occasionally. Or as often happens, things I never use at all!!! My trailer is like your basement and one of the things I plan to organize, declutter, or just plain get rid of are my craft supplies!!!! So we are on brain sharing today.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Thanks, Mary!

[@joyindrelie6715]

Love that dark wooden door and arched doorway in the back! Beautiful! 😍

[@dianeyoung8068]

Thanks Diane. I too like how every time the zone comes around it is a chance to look at what is there and declutter some more.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Brilliant, Diane - and thanks for always being so supportive!

[@JoanDam248]

Always a joy to see you declutter. I struggle very much to declutter my craft room, but I try. Some times I get rid of something, some times I don’t. The more times I go through the stuff, the more I success 😊

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

If you're going through it regularly, you will know what you have, so you won't accidentally buy stuff you don't actually need 🙂

[@DianeinDenmark]

Well done, Joan!

[@jeannebowes2898]

We totally swept down and out the garage. Went through all supplies and really organized and decluttered any item not in use. Hubs let go of two large bins of books. He still has three bins: old professional journals, book drafts and lesson plans that are stored. He is rehoming his academia slowly. We actually had a good time and were not stressed at all. I went on to give the little garden shed a sweep out and checked for any critter nests. Such a good feeling. This week , I will be working on son’s walk through closet and bath downstairs.

[@grumpy_poo]

I have a relative who card 'bombs' she puts sparkly angels/stars, flowers trees etc into birthday and christmas cards.... I recognise the writing now and open them over a dish! You may have to entertain grandchildren in the future.... and be looking for all this... :D

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

Hehe, that's what i was thinking!

[@username00009]

There’s less messy ways to entertain children. Something as simple as paper and a fresh box of crayons, or spare sheets that the way can use to build a fort.

2/2 he was an intern for 3 days at a hotel (he would like this work). Than several weeks as a volunteer in a nursing home. He was asked to apply for the’Ausbildungsplatz’ Hotelstaff, did a week of trial-working: and got the job!! Thank you so much, you’ve helped him get there😘❤️

[@trishtraynor1237]

Oh no! Wool.I bought loads of wool and patterns when my first grandson was born, but ended up giving it to my neighbour who knitted a beautiful shawl and matinee coats. My daughter brought it up just the other day, asking if I was going to knit him something for his birthday this year.........maybe not, he's going to be 23. 😂😆 , and, G.G.T.T.H. 💚💚💚

[@monikamarsollek3493]

Hi, Diane, I often get yarn from decluttering😉… it’s so much easier to let things go, if they are useful for others. I can’t throw away things, which are in good shape. Today was again Minestrone time, can’t believe, you made the video about mum's minestrone 4 years ago…and can’t believe, I didn’t leave a commen🙄. Love, Monika❣

[@Barb6106]

Always inspiring. Thank you! I just did my closet floor.. thinking it would take me “forever”… actually took under 10 minutes! 🤪 Drama queen I am. Next I will tackle my shed outside..new but has gotten a bit cluttered. This is another place I have over dramatized in my head. I just emptied it in under 12 minutes. The timer is best thing ever! It takes my visualization to reality and it is shocking what you can achieve in a tiny bit of time. Thank you so much for posting these continued videos. I know you say you have them in your playlist, but when your new videos pop-up as fresh, it just keeps reminding me that there are things I can do as well. Your ‘perfect’ home still has things that can go!! Thank you so much for continuing on the journey. It is so appreciated. Now off to organize that shed..big job-will take forever!😂🤪😵‍💫 (Where is that timer?)

[@DianeinDenmark]

Go you, Barb! 🙏😃

[@diegeferenbach8065]

Go you! Someone is going to love all those crafts. I've never recycled more than since arriving in 🇩🇰. Years ago we did a pom pom wreath with Christmas colours

[@brirose230]

Love watching your videos Diane! I feel like you’re my decluttering Mum 😆 Can’t wait to see your finished pom pom wreath!

[@everythingthathinders6922]

I love how you always know someone who can use the stuff you're decluttering! And you know yourself so well that you recognize your fantasy self and just things that you really won't use! Those are things I'm currently working on! I'm a type 1/4 like you and still trying to find my balance. I found you through DYT about a year ago and feel like I've found a friend! Thanks for another inspiring video. :-)

[@DianeinDenmark]

Aww, thank you so much! I LOVE that you also love DYT - has been lifechanging for me!

[@ellavankeulen2619]

I don’t know if you remember. I once told you about my autistic teen becoming a fly guy. He couldn’t find a ‘follow-up’ school or ‘Ausbildungsplatz’ …we intensified his Flyguy program (he loves it) 1/2

Aww, thank you so much, Melanie Rose!

[@olivemaycards]

I belong to a local Buy Nothing group and find it much easier to declutter things I *could* be using but don’t really use/need when someone else is asking for them.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Brilliant, Jo! I'm the same way!

[@micheledryden1057]

I would use the silver trees, blue angels, etc. In cards to make them more festive. Smiles...

Well done, MsBuBu!

[@Amy_Stanmore]

My extra room is my study and declutter so 1 box of something. I have art and craft to go through. I also cleaned the ensuite again when I did the bathroom. My task this week is to start selling on ebay. My local charity shop I volunteered there and I didnt like them choosing my stuff not to sell and to keep for themselves. So I'll donate a bit of money after selling on ebay or fb marketplace. I thought some of the juvenile art stuff I may take to the after school care place nearby. Sadly I'm a bit behind as we got mould in our bedroom and st the front door I had to clean the wardrobe over 2 weeks including the clothes and buy some more storage. I also do a bit of gardening in this zone too and have a couple of tasks to do on weekend.

[@DianeinDenmark]

Well done, Angel!

[@erikabirch7024]

[@Cindys-bc1dp]

Always enjoy your decluttering videos! 💕 I’m envious of your storage space. Our home is not large and has no basement or attic. The garage gets too hot in our Arizona summers to store many types of items. I’m gradually downsizing our inventory with your inspiration.

[@laurajensen9941]

I have a large blue container that I will be going through and decluttering today! Woo Hoo! 😁

Someone might want to use your shape confetti or sequins to put inside cards to surprise the recipient.

[@prdycool]

Watching this during work and then will be working on the weekly home blessing today. I'm in the fortunate/unfortunate position of having a new house (yay!) undergoing a lot of renovation and chaos (boo!). Things are still packed away and I can't yet set them right and find their permanent "homes". This makes the decluttering hard since I'm not entirely sure what the rooms will look like! I was discouraged and had given up on basic upkeep because I felt so stuck, but I've recommitted to the FlyLady system to at least keep some semblance of order while I wait patiently for the rooms to fall into place. Your videos keep me motivated!

[@DianeinDenmark]

Hope things are going well with the renovation!

Thanks, Mandy, you are good with the details!

[@homemakersheart3614]

Thanks Diane! I appreciate the last few minutes that you review what we should do. I wanted to ask - I don't recall you talking much about how often you do Zone work. I think once a few years ago you said you did only one thing a week. Is that still what you do? Do you only do 1 thing a week in the Zone, and for 15 minutes? So you do your Zone work usually on Monday's HB day? I've always wanted to ask this but just never did. Maybe I should have put it on my anti-procrastination day list. Hugs to you and thanks again. ~Dee

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

15 min four times a week is usual. You might get a lot done some weeks, not much others, depending on what tasks you choose.

[@homemakersheart3614]

@@thatswhatisaid8908 I apologize, menopausal brain here. I Heard a bit but didn't catch that it's what you do. I got the impression you do one thing from your list a week. Thanks for clarifying for me.

[@DianeinDenmark]

I aim for only one 15 minute session at the beginning of the week 👋😃 Any other minutes I can add during the week is a bonus!

[@GoingGreenMom]

How much do the little jars for jams and jellies like you had plastoceen? In cost? I was pricing some here and they are $11 each!

[@DianeinDenmark]

That must be a mistake 😂 they are very cheap!

[@GoingGreenMom]

@@DianeinDenmark Somehow I had a feeling they were cheaper there. Lol. That style is almost non-existent here, but I like them because they are zero waste. Was thinking maybe I could order that style instead of the normal ones we get for canning here because we are struggling to get lids. Lol. Until I saw the price of course. 🤣
