5 TIPS FOR A CLUTTER FREE HOME | Minimalism for beginners

[@cathybarker1936]

Rebecca, I have learned so much from your videos and have been decluttering one step at a time. I live in a 600 square foot cabin. I too have thrown things into a drawer or taken boxes of items I don’t want to deal with out to our storage. Though in the moment it feels good to have an area clean, the box comes back to haunt me!!! The weight of my “stuff” is real!!!! I just keep downsizing one moment, one day, one drawer, one bookshelf or one closet at a time! Thanks for the motivation and great tips!

[@RebeccaSisson]

Sounds like you are thriving in your minimalist journey! One day, one drawer at a time is a great way to declutter without overwhelming yourself 💜

[@mikeskylark1594]

Good tips. Minimalism is a must in modern life.

[@rosemarywilliams9969]

Thank you for sharing your attic story that's exactly how I feel. Everyone thinks I'm so organized and minimal but I know what I have regardless of how new or contained it is, so me saying I'm not fully the minimalist that I want to be means that I still know what I have to get rid of and I have to go through the process and not just hide it like a squirrel.

[@RebeccaSisson]

It’s tough because it’s so easy to just hide it all away and try to forget about it!

2:29 -me too! when i get the itch or idea for something i research & put the link in my notes... then wait weeks if not months for when i'm absolutely sure

[@RebeccaSisson]

SAME!

Just want to echo what others have said below that you are the top tier of minimalist, conscious living vloggers and I miss your advice when you take a break. Not sure if you have thought about Patreon or other means of letting people leave a tip, but I would definitely do so for your product reviews alone. Be well!

Ur such an influence in my minimalism journey, with habits of having clutter/stuff on the counter… I’ve put so many of your techniques to use , just cleaned out my closet again, I do it a. Few times of year it just makes me feel so much better, I can be honest w myself knowing I haven’t worn certain stuff for so long

[@RebeccaSisson]

That’s so great! I’m glad my content is helping your journey 💜

[@smokesignal8289]

I love this channel, and your home is calming and love the natural colors. I'm trying to get organized. Your channel is so helpful.

[@kathyk4901]

Your attic storage reminds me of that episode of Friends where you find out Monica has a junk closet.

I am increasingly missing your video Rebecca 😊 I hope your ok - I have not seen any posts as regards to whether you are ill or on holiday and I am genuinely worried. Perhaps I missed you say something in one of your videos about having a few weeks off 🤔 anyway hope all is well and I can’t wait for your next video 😊

[@travelingpetsitters]

She posted on Instagram so she’s fine just figured I’d let you know 😊 wouldn’t want you to worry.

[@SagelifeMinimalism]

@@travelingpetsitters thank you - yes I was getting worried

[@leek7987]

@@SagelifeMinimalism She has missed Tuesday's in the past, usually just one week though. Perhaps she only posts when she has the time in her schedule. Glad she is okay, I don't do Instagram.

Another great video!!! The outtakes are so good! Hi Rebecca! Hi Gypsy!

[@RebeccaSisson]

Gypsy says hi 🐶❤️

Please could you cover the compost one week, I am so interest to perhaps try it but don’t know how

[@amyrugg2540]

I think i may shop more when i feel like my space is cluttered and i feel stuck fixing for the moment, or i have to wait, i want to feel productive, but bringing more into a cluttered space is going to make it worse lol.

[@lynnoorman2144]

It now takes me only an hour to clean my small house. This was my aim for decluttering. Also I have no decision fatigue over clothes - all tops will go with all bottom halves ( apart from a couple of smart dresses). I can have hair brushed, teeth cleaned, be dressed and ready to go and do somat interesting in 10 mins ( add an extra 10 mins for a shower! Lol) I so agree with all your tips. BTW I now have shopping and debate over buying stuff for ages ( currently its a new sofa -previous one is over 25 years old!)

[@sueskiing]

I have a cluttered attic and yes it is weighing me down! I have started on it but it’s going to be a long process 😁

[@RebeccaSisson]

I feel you! It took months for us to fully declutter our attic. Just one step at a time 💜

[@melaniegodwin8791]

More great tips. Thank you. Gypsy is a dollbaby❤❤❤

[@RebeccaSisson]

She sure is ❤️

[@donnav]

Great tips! Your attic is my storage room and garage. The issue is that almost all of it isn’t mine it’s my husband’s. So many delayed decisions 😬. When we eventually move out of this house so much of it will have to go. But he isn’t on board with making decisions now if we have the space to keep things. I try not to get too frustrated with that but it’s difficult

[@jemma50]

Great tips, Rebecca, as always. :) Love the outtakes with Gypsy. She is such a sweetheart! ♥ P.S. I like your hair down. ♥

[@RebeccaSisson]

She really is the sweetest! 🐶❤️

[@norawotton5440]

I really liked the way you approached this. It was very helpful.

[@cks9516]

Hmm.. this spoke to me.

[@tiffanya83]

Agh.....our shed...thats our attic. We joke about accidentally setting it on fire lol

[@arshiniaz]

I know this video is about decluttering, but where is that coffee table from ? Lol! I need that in my life.

[@Sophie-kn3gh]

[@joni1]

Yup. I have one crooked ear pierce…annoying!

[@RebeccaSisson]

It’s so annoying! Glad I’m not alone 💜😂

[@gailhamlyn2910]

For me I declutter, cannot leave things undone, it talks to me!🤣. My circle do not understand!🥴

[@debragifford4926]

But how do you do this when you are the only one who wants declutter and you live with someone who cannot part with anything?

[@jemma50]

That's a tough one, for sure. You can only declutter your own stuff, so hopefully, you have a designated space just for you so you can go in there and breathe when you are overwhelmed by your partner's clutter. ;) Makes me glad I live alone, not gonna lie. LOL

[@RebeccaSisson]

I agree with Jemma! Also, I’ve found a lot of success by just leading by example. When loved ones and family see the benefits they will sometimes start to reflect on their own habits. It’s a slow process, but even claiming small, decluttered spaces in your home as “yours” can help. ❤️

[@debragifford4926]

Thank you for your kind thoughts.

Do you think 🤔 you’re regret not having had kids? And do you think my Gen Z will be more baby friendly? I know this is a personal question I get it if you don’t answer.
