[@TimePassesQuickly]

@clutterbug Thank you for your videos! You’ve inspired me. I’m a single mom of two, recovering from 9 surgeries and two bad car accidents in the last five years! Can’t keep up like I used to and can’t get my kids to pitch in most of the time. I always try to express to my friends that I’m so exhausted from having to clean to actually clean and I never get the cleaning done I wanted too because I’m too busy cleaning for it. 😂I know it doesn’t make sense to people but to me it does. Lol I desperately need help in here. We have a two bedroom so space is VERY limited. I’m shocked how much stuff we’ve gained after starting over with nothing! I want to donate most of my stuff! Just not enough health, strength or energy to get it all done. I appreciate your videos more than you know!

[@cjhoward409]

For 25 years I was a retail store manager. And many of those years was clothing. I never let anybody overstuff the racks because customers couldn’t look thru the clothing if there wasn’t at least 6 inches to move the clothes along to see the next garment. And I hate stores that overstuff. I wish they wouldn’t do that. They’d sell more if people could look thru things easier 😊

[@KS-un3pi]

YES to this!! I hate when stores do that. It is instant friction to the shopping experience!

[@susanf4857]

Kohl's has too much clothing!! Drives me crazy. Nothing is organized and the store is always a mess. 😬

[@martyC9578]

Absolutely true. If I cannot slide the hanger to look at a piece of clothing I will not make the effort to take off rack, look at it and then squeeze it back in. I will just leave and find a store that values their customers. So thank you for your approach.

[@cjhoward409]

@@martyC9578 Yes 👍🏻😀 I had district managers (who never worked in stores but had business degrees ) come into my stores and tell me I needed to put more things on the rack so they would sell. Meanwhile, my sales were better than other stores. And you couldn’t tell them anything because they knew it all. Lol.

[@AmbrosiaK]

For sure! I agree, they would sell more if there's room to move items. Pet peeve.

[@jessicaquiroz7178]

I’ve been opening the windows in the morning while it’s cooler so I can let the light in but also listen to the birds.

[@intuitive_duck]

I do that at home too. I used to work in the back of an office. I would open the back door and listen to the birds. It made my work day so much better. 😊

[@cds8249]

I sooo agree. This motivated me to work on my own closet!

[@SammieOranges]

The battle of me depressed making my home depressed and then back again. I spend my work breaks tidying up to battle the depression piles but man this is an uphill battle

[@everythingthathinders6922]

I feel you! I'm 60 this year and I finally decided I have to let go of everything and start from scratch. It's just been too much. Hugs to you. ❤

[@Maggies87]

We can do this! Have you watched Clutterbug’s video on the mental health benefits of cleaning? While you’re cleaning, it can belike meditation when you put yourself in that frame of mind.

[@missjannickegylland]

Watching this while my kitchen is piled up everywhere! And I stink, I think I need to do something soon 🤣

[@SpicyMelange]

Keep one area clear at all times! Make it your kitchen table. Then defend with beauty. I know how hard it is. Clutterers Anonymous is really helpful, too.

[@echomcclellan7079]

I understand. I also struggle with depression. Hope you and anyone else struggling with mental health is able to feel comfort and peace today.

[@alil7348]

Put the clothes straight in a bag to donate/recycle, rather than on the floor. Saves a step and also means you don't look at it twice and change your mind!

[@carrieperrigo2319]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@mheninger99]

Nooooo! There's another step before just Doing the sorting! Once its all in a pile on the floor its easier to just stuff the clothes in the bag or box and Get outta there!

[@jenner81]

My friend helped me declutter my closet and she did this! Once it went in the bag, I couldn't get it back out! And if I hesitated, in the bag it went! I was upset for maybe a day and wondering if I gave anything away that I still wanted (we went right afterwards and donated them), but now, I can't even tell you what I donated! 😅🤷‍♀️ And I still need to declutter more!

[@audreym3777]

Where I live they stopped doing the drive by donation trucks and the thrift stores charge to take stuff (and are super picky about what they will even ‘accept’) so I end up cleaning out clothes and then having piles of trash bags in my living room and thus MORE negativity I have to look at…ugh

[@customer5032]

​@@audreym3777 Whoa, where is that? How can a thrift store refuse to take stuff, that is literally their job! I would find a nearby city with different thrift stores and give them my business instead. The one trying to charge people is ripping you off, and does not deserve your business! 🤯

[@gingermonette7455]

Loved your concept of 'friction'. Years ago when my kids were young, I closed my eyes and walked thru my day and made a note of anything that made me feel anxious, then brainstormed solutions. The biggest anxiety trigger was 4:00 and nothing planned for dinner. Meal planning was the answer. 'Friction points' can be both physical (junk in the way) or mental (no plan).

[@Sarah-rx2wj]

1- You inspire me 2- You make me smile 3- Love your honesty and honest reactions 4- Outtakes?! What?! Love it❣️

[@Clutterbug]

😊 thank you

[@madhatterr7831]

Hi Cass, I always love hearing your firefighter updates! I am a young FF, & I can totally relate to those silly mistakes; Don't feel bad! On a real car fire, I've clipped in to air without turning my bottle on first (There was no air). The way I see it, if God wants you there, he will make a way, & help you to succeed. Draw near to the Lord, for he has perfect plans for you! 😁

[@sitsngigglesful]

I've been putting off watching this video because my home is a disaster because I'm mildly depressed...and the mess and clutter just makes me more depressed. I'm binge watching/listening to a bunch of your videos today while I clean and declutter. Your presentation is soothing to me and it is like having a friend help me without having to "people" for the day! Not getting enough done, but reclaiming the living room and dining room, which will be huge for me! So thanks, and this video hit home!

[@happyhutchinsons]

If it helps you, then it’s enough!!

[@KiraKross-c6i]

I❤u for sharing, bc I’m in the same shoes.

[@ElainePetrakisMidnightCrafter]

Oh my gosh, you made me laugh with your closet clean out! I wish you were here to do mine with me because I feel like it might actually be fun! We just sold our house that we lived in for 19 years. Whatever could go into storage until we find a new house, did. The rest had to come with us to our small cabin (which was already full) where we're living temporarily. The entire downstairs is full of boxes, suitcases, and general stuff, with only small, narrow pathways to get to the bathroom and washing machine. Ugggg!! I had a bit of a mental breakdown because of the clutter and chaos, so this video was perfect for me right now. I love you too pieces and thank you for always making me laugh. XOXO ❤️ 🥰

[@heathersheagley7172]

I need to hear "it doesn't have to be perfect, just do it". I get so much from your channel. You're a beautiful soul!!

[@kcosi297]

The friction concept is actually enlightening. Thank you

[@Helga-fe5xl]

Yesss decor on surfaces was a big block for us so we got rid of most of it

[@Michele-4513]

I love your humour Cass, especially when feeling overwhelmed. ❤

[@Mrs.LadeyBug]

The sausage casing comment made me laugh out loud! I relate to that!!! And I am very overwhelmed… I’ve been very ill for many years. Trying to do a few things in the moments I’m feeling I’m ok-ish is not enough for keeping up with just daily activities. Getting out of pyjamas? Lofty goal, if I also hope to make a simple meal. Clean or declutter? It must be done, but how??? I used to be a runner and weightlifter, and had a highly active job and travelled Europe and… and… and… I’m not old. I just got sick. I’m laying here wondering how to get the energy to get up and it is so hard to know where to start. I occasionally come here and feel so inspired, and then look around me and it’s so hard to know where to even start because I know it’s impossible to catch up and/or keep up. But giving up is not an option, and I’d rather keep getting inspired, prodded, and kicked in the butt to keep trying than quitting. :) I relate so much with Cas in that I’m an absolute “Clutterbug” in methodology and thought process, she’s SO funny, and I love her channel!!

[@roseosterndorf1265]

Friction is the force that works against motion. That is a perfect term to describe why we don’t feel like anything gets accomplished.

[@AmethystWoman]

This course is the best anti-shame money you can ever spend. And when the year is up, and your house hasn't changed, renew for only 10 bucks forever! It keeps decluttering in the foreground for me even if I'm just watching other people do it. Some places look a lot better, esp the all day declutter when for the whole day I only got one closet done but these are my people mostly. I didnt know of Cas till the class as I joined because of Dawn, but Cas is the best and fun cheerleader! Join. Best antidepressant and anti-shame pill ever.

[@Clutterbug]

[@customer5032]

Have you guys tried Downy Wrinkle Release spray? I found it back in early 2000's and immediately got rid of my iron and ironing board. It takes 10 seconds and smells good too!

[@zuzanaxyz8866]

I don’t t iron my clothes before putting them in the cupboard. I only STEAM the piece I am going to wear - it usually takes under 1 minute, dresses maybe two to three minutes, if they are long… The hand held steamer is small, practical and I don’t need to pull out an ironing board etc.

[@gaynorprice-jones1826]

I've wondered about buying a small hand held steamer as I have a (very) bad back and ironing is a real problem. But I've resisted because I didn't know if a steamer was as effective as the ads tell us.

[@blueredyoyo]

@@gaynorprice-jones1826 I don't know if you'll see this, but here are my thoughts. It doesn't give clothes that crisp look that you get from ironing, but it does take out the wrinkles, unless they are really set in. Mine is especially good for lighter fabrics, but not linen or a thick cotton. It can work, but it's easier just to iron those things, imho. I have Conair that I'm happy with.

[@ltaj7336]

Friction! Didn't know the name for it but it has been my biggest motivator. One day I was making my husband's shake like always, and realized that I had to traverse the entire kitchen to get to my shake supplies. I said to myself that I needed to move those things to where I make my shakes. It was causing me Friction . Several cupboard changes later, while decluttering,I now have a more useful layout to my kitchen. The biggest bonus was the pots and pans that were in the cupboard where I wanted my shake supplies. The new place where they got moved to actually makes easier access to them. They fit the new spot so much better. All this because of the Friction of having to traverse my kitchen. I also learned that just because you set your kitchen up one way doesn't mean that is the only way.

[@clairewillow6475]

I love your stories, especially when they start with “this mortifying thing that happened” 😂

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Cas, if it's wrinkly toss it in the dryer with a damp wash cloth. It pulls out the wrinkles.

[@sunshine3914]

Or save 20 minutes out of every day by letting go of clothes that you don’t love.

[@edennis8578]

​@@sunshine3914But if you love it, de-wrinkle it.

[@liisaking1247]

@@sunshine3914 Cas just did that during the video! But the clothes she loves are already wrinkled and they aren't really going to unwrinkle themselves. Rather than rewash clean clothes, she can just fluff them in the dryer. That was the whole point of the comment.

[@Andrea-bdt]

​@@liisaking1247 Absolutely and it's a great hack to de-wrinkle items especially for neuro typical brains. Those neuro diverse however not so much 😊

[@laurenskee2665]

Honestly, my husband and I are handling this now. We rent a 100+ year old home that our landlord refuses to remodel. It's very cute and rustic but it wasn't designed for function and there's SO much wasted space. We are working on moving out and donating anything that doesn't need to come. I've quickly learned that it's not necessarily the size of the house, but it's functionality of my home.

[@magietagie]

I remember reading/hearing about how some times you need to do something important (like study) but first you feel the need to clean up and get everything tidy before you can even start that. Because your mind needs to calmness to be able to do that and not be distracted. After learning that, I always say to myself, ok if I want to accomplish *this* I need to pave the way first by cleaning/decluttering first!

[@Mayfrancisxavier]

I’ve been doing this for 20 yrs. This is the year I’ll finally get on top of my house so I can start studying…which is what I say every year🫣

This closet declutter and hearing your comments of why things are staying and why they're going was so cathartic. You were brutal with your decluttering and it totally worked! I love the concept of "friction."

[@Peanut1965]

For the past 6 months off and on we’ve been decluttering and donating to the diabetes association, but this past January our landlord said he was selling the house. So we got right into decluttering even more since we downsized. We sent probably close to 50 boxes to the diabetes charity. And still donating since we’ve moved.

[@jimthechaosbunny]

Yes! I am a huge fan of painting rooms white to reflect the maximum amount of daylight. Especially living in Wales where it rains most days, every bit of natural (or artificial) light is precious! My new place was painted entirely landlord beige when I moved in. It was warm, but dark and dingy, and it sucked the colour out of everything. Just lifting the walls to white and putting in some daylight bulbs makes the place feel so much brighter, friendlier and alive. Then in the evenings I can use warm-tinted side lamps to make it feel just as cosy as it ever did.

[@elizabethbutler3364]

It’s certainly rained in Wales this winter! It’s felt very grey and very long.

You inspired me to unclutter every nook and cranny of my home over a few months and I upgraded and updated things. It was fun to donate things to people who wanted them. I'm minimized and organized in a 30 ft. motorhome with a dog and a cat. It's also important to let in fresh air every day and blow out the dust.

[@intuitive_duck]

My house has so much friction right now. Too many dishes and too much clothing in particular. I love cooking but I’m afraid of getting rid of excess cookware. Maybe I need to put big event appliances and seasonal things in the basement. Like my giant roasting pans and food dehydrator. I won’t need that, likely, for a few months. That can free up a lot of breathing room in my kitchen. I’m down sizing clothes right now as I listen. I’m sick of several baskets of unfolded clean laundry hidden in several rooms.

[@marthayahoogillespie9567]

My big stuff is in my basement so my cupboards are more spacious. I also place stuff down there in a donation box that I am unsure of letting go.

Go to the gym when you are already on the road after taking the kids to school or before you go grocery shopping in the morning! You will buy healthier stuff after working out. And you will have more energy for the rest of the day because you have already been to the gym. Plus the gym is less crowded and you can use the sauna to relax. Shower at the gym and you don't have to shower at home. This saves electricity (=money!!!) at home. When you come home put the sweaty clothes and towels in the washer and fresh clothes and towels in the gym bag at once!

I don't know if you've thought about this, but it would be nice to donate your clothes to a nursing home instead of Goodwill. Many of those residents don't have the income or even family to buy them new clothes. (Although, ask the nursing home first to see if they take them.)

I put a dustpan, brush and ice cream container next to my woodwork project and found myself even sanding straight into the container. Just this last week I’ve found I’m starting to intuitively tidy any time I go from one room to another and doing some tidies at night. I’m feeling like my teenage tidy/organisation habits are coming back after living with a hoarder for 30 odd years. Just having the right furniture/organisation stuff around me is getting me back on track. I can’t thank Cass and Dana enough for changing my mindset after half a lifetime of insanity which I couldn’t do anything about because it wasn’t my clutter. So far it hasn’t translated into actual cleaning (except dishes) but getting tidying in order first is paving the way to cleaning.

Calling it "friction" is so accurate! If you put your "wrinkle clothes on".. after half an hour, your body warmth irons out the wrinkles👍😉... I don't iron anything except formal wear! Eg for a wedding etc... I probably iron 1x yr max... I have one small waredrobe. All my seasonal clothes are in it. Plus boxes of clothes for different sizes (my weight goes up and down with depression). I love decluttering.. this weekend.. cleaning, decluttering, paperwork organisation... I have drinks and films/you tube on in the background..perfect. I love walks at our local park to calm me😊.

Decisions are a major source of friction for me. If I need to decide what to do or give myself the option to skip it, I tend to let distractions detour me. Time organization is so hard for my ADHD brain, so routines with handy supply kits are life-saving! I'm at the point where I need to restart and re-do mine. I've been so overwhelmed, discouraged, and frustrated with it lately, but you inspire me!

Your video was so inspiring in the VERY first at the beginning, that even though it is dusk, I did what you said is this making me feel happy is this making me feel relaxed and I said no it's not! so I grabbed the 3 or 4 thing's that needed to goto my vehicle and I put them in. then I came back and I said I still have a little bit of daylight I'm going to take those boxes, another things that I was going to take out "soon" to storage! And as soon as I got back in the house i put all the "stuff" that had accumulated on my entertainment bar away - i tidied up! Its amazing 🤩 in less than 20 minutes i actually have Peace 😮😊😊

Cass I love you and I love your content. My home is mess right now. I travel a lot and my house become a mess when I pack and come back and unpack. It's been a week since I am back and finding no motivation to unpack and organize all the things back in to cupboards. I just started watching your video and after 2 mins watching I instantly felt motivated to get up and clean. You are amazing. the way to make people feel comfortable and relax about how messy and unorganized and lazy they are, like who we are and then motivate to change their situation is great!. You are great! I wish you a lot of success and peace

[@BVU870]

You're so beautiful 🥰😍 inside and out!! You've been helping me so much on my cleaning habits 🩷🩷🩷

[@sl9906]

You are so inspiring CAs! I love your life of helping and giving people a better life. You do that so well you want to be a firefighter!! Amaze balls! ❤❤❤

[@mariaaguero8902]

Today is one of those days I really didn’t feel like doing anything! I always put on your videos for motivation even if I only hear you! I have a hotmess home it’s hard . Thankyou you are my inspiration & motivation ❤

[@Clutterbug]

You got this!

[@ninad9626]

Wow, that was a brutal decluttering🤣, I'm so impressed!

[@racheltonner2509]

The light thing is absolutely true...i turn my therapy light on while i work in the kitchen, eat breakfast read, whatever...usually in the a.m. it boosts the mood

[@cathyplante3326]

Cas, I needed a laugh tonight. Girl, you are so funny! “Now it’s a sausage casing” “Who am I, Steve Jobs?” Haha 😆 😂

[@bettyparker3317]

I love your decisiveness-and that you know that ironing is not where you choose to spend your time and energy. That’s your reality! It’s inspiring to watch you accept that. I do wish, though, that “shrug” jackets were not so 90s 😆. I did like having just the sleeves, but I like not being so 90s a lot more.

[@vickyables8343]

Thanks Cas I really needed this. We are getting ready to remodel our house so I am decluttering as I clean out the rooms

[@alisonoswald1565]

I love these tips. I've been struggling with burnout and work stress and it started affecting my health, physicslly and mentally. I kind of let my house go because I haven't had much energy, but i cleaned my office out for when i go back. I will need to start getting my black trash bags out and throwing things or taking them to goodwill and not being worried about insulting the person who gave them to me more! I also love you are becoming a firefighter!! My family has always been heavy into firefighting! At almost 40, I am training to become a nationally accredited personal trainer and start my own business helping woman get healthy and strong!! It's never too late to do something you love!

I foundvout on April 6th... so im a teenzy bit overwhelmed... but your vids always help and lift my spirits when my head could, but wont, explode... lol. Thank you so much! Have a beautiful day ❤😊

[@AP-1983]

This is me! 🙋🏻‍♀️ I have a nice house which I’m thankful for. However, it is a disaster. It (clutter and messes) makes me anxious, sad, and overwhelmed. I often think back to the times it was clean and comforting. I’m at a different stage in life now. I feel like I’m the only one who can do it “right,” but I am also too overwhelmed to do it myself.

[@PowerToolsWithThread]

I'm so glad I didn't have a mouth full of wine when you said, "I loved this at a buck 25 and now it's just a sausage casing." OMG!! I'd of spewed liquid grapes all over my keyboard and monitor!! 😆

[@tomokoz300]

I was watching this on my TV but I had to come to my computer to find this comment because I couldn’t hold In my laughter and I knew others were going to comment the same thing!😂❤

[@jeanbean1390]

I resemble that remark 😮😔

[@hollyanntjelmeland4320]

I snorted so loud at this! 😂

[@cheriy8750]

So true! All of her comments about her clothes as she tossed them are how I’ve felt about mine. Thanks to her and minimal mom, I’ve got a closet that’s much more under control and it’s easier to declutter the pieces that now occasionally creep in and annoy me.

[@coolcutsgal2]

🙋🏼‍♀️ same 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@rebeccataylor6383]

Hi this video popped up, I looked at it and thought why not, me and my home are depressed let's see what it is about ( OH MY) you certainly nailed it and for the first time in a long time I can see the light. The more I go through your videos and your podcast videos the more my mind is seeing a way to get my home back so (THANK YOU) I also like how you share about yourself, you are amazing and so strong. It helped me find my strength to keep fighting, So yes I have started and getting my family to help we are getting our home back.

[@Katlyn_Duncan]

Cas, I'm dying over here with the commentary. I'm a decluttering coach and this out loud internal monologue totally happens with my clients and I just let it flow...😂

[@PirateOfTheNorth]

I needed this video today. I’m stuck in this cycle. Thank you.

[@corrieshaffer4172]

I could rewatch this over and over for the closet decluttering alone! 😂😂😂

[@mariamfigueroa9583]

Cas I need to stop this video..........and thank you for your existence,i have a lot of medical issues and 2 special needs young adults and everything that you said is like you are talking to me. Your channel and you are my therapist. God Bless you ALWAYS to you and your beautiful family!!!! Mariam

[@carol_english]

She’s me!!!n At least in the before shots. Life in a log cabin. Friction to the point of freezing… She’s totally accurate.

[@brightpage1020]

“But that will not make you feel any better” = such a key phrase - that addiction to comforts and the illusion that they might help when they clearly don’t - or worse - only help you feel like you are spiraling the drain. Dho!

[@isabellabihy8631]

Hi Cas, Yes that's exactly what I'm struggling with, friction. Which is stressful. And de-moivates me. Oh yes, thanks for the hint with the smell. I love patchouli, sandal wood, and Ylang-Ylang. I will scent my sleeping room tonight.

[@michellesmith-goldberg5080]

Love the bloopers at the end! Love your videos! ❤❤❤

[@glorialorena3839]

You are so hilarious. I talk to my clothes the same way when I am decluttering. I have to say it out loud so my brain will hear me and allow my reasoning to let go! I love your grandma voice. You have inspired me to take my game up another level and speak in different personas. Ha Ha --- love your videos.

[@lomey8609]

You're a doll, and your special gifts benefit my life. Thank you!

[@kimikujawa1204]

Hands down best video you've made❤ Thx!

[@Clutterbug]

Glad it was helpful!
