Step 4 - Take it there now - for scheduling and/or tasks - quit kicking the can down the road - do it now especially if it will take moments and the angst of not doing it hangs over your head. Reminds me that I need to pay some bills online so I am off to do that now

Pay those bills! Take it there now! I love it!

I have binged some of Dana's decluttering system videos. Here's an idea to use step 4: Dana's step 4 questions are: • Where would I look for this first? Take it there now. • If I needed this thing, would I remember that I already have it/them (or would I forgetfully go buy it/them again)? How you can apply step 4 for tasks or appointments that need to be planned and scheduled in is: "When might I best be able to do this task or appointment in my day/week (energy, focus, busyness)?" Schedule it in there now.

As a Dana K. White fan, and a person who constantly wrestles with my ToDo’s, I was going to suggest to Dana that she apply her method to managing time for those of us who have seen the power of her decluttering method… and now YOU figured this out for me! I am really grateful for your creativity and you have a new subscriber 😊

Aww, that’s great to hear!

This was a perfect breakdown of her method. I have been using Dana’s methods in my house for about 2 years now and it has made a huge difference. Now I’m trying to learn to apply it to my scheduling, just like you’ve described.

I found your video interesting and thought-provoking. I'm a big fan of Dana K. White's methods (except for "Laundry Day" LOL). The ideas that drew me to use her methods are "No mess" & "Progress and only progress". As you can imagine.....if, at any point in decluttering our schedules we were interrupted, we have already deleted "trash" things that were scheduled and maybe some easy stuff was delegated to others. Even at this point, the container of our schedule is more comfortable and usable.

Thanks for watching! Yes, progress and only progress is great - pretty unique among decluttering techniques- it seems way more realistic than other methods.

The first time I heard Dana's 'container method' it completely blew my mind. No more guilt. As for 'Take it there now', I think you covered that one when you talked about passing off a job to someone else. This is a great way to look at life.

@youtodoyou 10 ай бұрын

Right? The container concept is so obvious when you hear it, but until you do, you keep thinking‘oh oh I can fit more - i just need to get my act together. ha! nope, it’s the container!

@debbiev.1311 10 ай бұрын

Yes...don't do what you can delegate! 😉

All good stuff. A tip from one of the other declutter-ers I watch: develop the habit of maintaining the new system. It's not just declutter once and you're done. For the household, an example is to wash and then put away clean dishes every day. For time and commitment purposes, that would be a regular habit of monitoring the schedule and being alert for the changing circumstances of life. Prune out or revise what no longer fits or is necessary.

You're not alone. I do love good decluttering vids! :). Danas videos really kept me motivated during my 1st phase of decluttering my storage units.

Wow! Thank you for this! I am easily overwhelmed by my calendar and everything I THINK I need to put in it. Not every minute of everyday needs to be filled.

@youtodoyou 10 ай бұрын

Right right! Not every minute of every day needs to be filled - your calendar “clutter threshold” may require you to leave more open space. Hard to do when there are so many forces telling us otherwise!

I know that it's easier for me to clean out your closet then it is for me to clean up mine

I loved this. I think step 4 probably would be in a different order in schedules because it's where would you look for it, but in a schedule is more about when would I do this or something like that. It seems like it might be more of a first step or something. I love how you look at it. I actually really liked the final step and looking at the reality of do I have more of that category that fits in my week.

@youtodoyou 10 ай бұрын

Right - doing it in a different order might make sense- good suggestion!
