Hi, Catherine. I was feeling the same a few years ago while living with my parents and brother. I started decluttering my room when I was about 21 and improved along the years until I became a minimalist. My family refused to follow the same path, but a year before I left, my parents allowed me to declutter the living room. They were so grateful for it. Now, about 4 years later, they never miss the time to thank me for introducing them to declutter. They go little by little, but it has change their lives

[@CatherineElaine]

Aw I love that so much!!! I have been decluttering my parents house this year and last time I was over my mom proudly showed me how well she’s been keeping up with it in the kitchen!

[@christinaruiz4183]

Some advice if you want it ❤ The more comments (interactions) your video has, the more it gets pushed out. People comment more if you answer and comment back. Most youtubers answer only the comments within the first hour of the video being posted. You could try that and see if it helps. I know answering every single comment is impossible, but maybe an hour (or 30 minutes) would be beneficial to your channel. It would also get viewers to turn on notifications so that they can comment on time.

[@JanetMclendon-p3b]

Haha yeah out of water thirsty mom. Your cats have such personality! Female cat used to have she passed away used to stare at me and not even blink, just stare at me when she needed food❤

[@CatherineElaine]

I can be so terrible about responding to my comments sometimes 😭 I always read them but when things get overwhelming for me I let it fall behind. I’ll try to be better! ❤️

[@tarigeorge6122]

I like all your videos. I appreciate different types.

[@jacquiebeattie649]

Great motivation Catherine!!! Sutton has grown so much....I remember when he was a little bundle of joy❤ So excited for you Catherine to be looking for a new home... You've done a lot of work today and your home looks nice. Carson will be pleased with his closet, nice job.

[@rubyrose940]

I like the angle that shows inside the sink🌷

[@karlaziler3949]

Great job on the closet clean out! I will be tuning in for the Christmas decorating 🎄 love anything to do with Christmas!

[@CatherineElaine]

Ahh yay!! Thank you!

[@CynthiaMiller-cc3qj]

Catherine, I love all your videos regardless of content and I will definitely watch the decorating one when it comes out. I , too, have white cabinets & although there are no children in the house, my husband drips stuff on them constantly ( he’s the main cook). Lastly, it was two years ago that I decided to start hanging up everything I could - shorts, jeans, night shirts, leggings etc. I hate folding clothes too.❤️🎄🎁

[@CatherineElaine]

Haha so you’re telling me even when the kids grow up my husbands still going to make the same messes for me?!

[@CynthiaMiller-cc3qj]

Probably so. Men tend to get messier and less careful as they age! Ha!

[@PokemonGOSpielen]

Another game changer we recently implemented: 1. Buy all identical socks per person and do not put in pairs. 2. Baby clothes are so light-weight that they don't really wrinkle. So no folding required. 3. Most underwear is tight-fitting enough you also don't have to fold or roll it.

You really do a great job decluttering, cleaning and explaining great techniques/ways to look at tough tasks. Thanks so much for what you do in here. You inspire me to get so many things DONE! Yeah !

[@CatherineElaine]

Aw yay!! 🤗 thank you for being here!!! I appreciate it SO much!

[@CristiTomlinson]

I always get so excited when I see that you posted a new video! 😊

[@CatherineElaine]

I am so glad you're excited!! 🤗

[@marikajohn6522]

Declutter is very good when selling as home looks bigger to buyer. 😊😊

[@CatherineElaine]

That’s very true!

[@victoriagregson4501]

Love your videos! I love watching them while I do my own declutterring !

[@CatherineElaine]

I'm so glad!

[@jen8491]

Great video, Catherine. I watch all of your videos, so I would definitely watch your Christmas decorating video 🎅. Carson's closet looks good. Hopefully, this will work out better for him. Have a great weekend ❤

[@CatherineElaine]

It’s soo much better! So far it’s been a world of a difference. This project even inspired him to organize his cards and declutter some!!! I hope you have a great weekend too!

[@nyc10037]

Please share your holiday decor and decoration! I would love to see it!

[@adriennenelson759]

I hang as much of our laundry as possible. It helps kids choose what to wear too. I especially like it for baby clothes like sleepers. I don't know why anyone wants to try fold those. My son is in kindergarten, so I am very familiar with the artwork influx. I had a dedicated basket where anything he creates or schoolwork he brings home goes straight into it. It keeps it from piling on the counter. The basket method gives me time to get to it when I feel ready (I am super sentimental). Once the basket is full, I have to address it. By then I am less attached to some of the art and make better decisions. We have a bin in our play space for any creations and I do the same method once it is full.

[@mykelpearson2613]

So many similarities between us in this video! My son’s name is Carson, my husband is an avid card collector, same bar stool chairs, and looking for a new house (hence why I went looking for decluttering videos) Thanks for the motivational help!

[@CatherineElaine]

Oh my gosh what are the odds!! That’s actually crazy! 😂

[@sharonstoner7388]

Another great video! Thank you!

[@yolandagomez6131]

Love your videos, Catherine! I can’t wait to what y the next one, I’ll right here, love from Spain ❤

[@sandrac4244]

Thank you so much! Your videos motivated me so much today 💜🎉I did not want to do chores… end of day they are done!

[@christineelderfield3680]

Catherine you can use extendable rods for wasted space above in cupboards or across odd spaces.👍👋👋👋

[@CatherineElaine]

That’s a great idea!

[@dawnkanouse745]

That is a great bit of advice. I am totally in the mood to declutter and organize and keep things nice, but its certainly a struggle to get others to do it without me running the game. LOL My youngest though as started expressing to me when her mess is overwhelming her and asks for help. My son he is a go with the flow and just lets me clean out what I wish, He's always been that way.

[@CatherineElaine]

I love that she can express that to you!!

[@carolynoquinn4573]

SO proud of your decluttering of Carson's closet. You got rid of so much❤

[@chillibird2511]

Great job on the declutter and cleaning. I remember doing those declutters when the kids were young Looking forward to your xmas decorating video. Would you do one on wrapping gifts ❤

[@CatherineElaine]

I usually do some kind of wrapping video each year!!

[@mariannemitnick3541]

Girl, I was the exact same with hanging clothes! I only ever hung up work clothes and jackets, but would shove everything else in my dresser drawers. I always had a ton of room to hang more things in the closet and then it dawned on me to hang up more clothes and it’s been balance ever since lol 😆

[@CatherineElaine]

Isn’t it strange the rules we can make up for ourselves in our own heads 😂

[@alexandrarae7435]

You can put that sink rack thing in the dishwasher we do all the time lol

[@CatherineElaine]

I can’t believe this never crossed my mind 😂😂😂

[@alexandrarae7435]

@ sometimes we are to close to the project 😂 believe me a lot of things I’m like wow I never thought of lol just lay it flat above your dishes so it fits lol

[@PokemonGOSpielen]

For most ovens, you can also put the baking sheets etc. in the dishwasher if they are ceramic covered / stainless steel

[@PokemonGOSpielen]

Also the glass plate in the microwave

[@racheldyer9250]

I love the pink stuff! I tell everyone about it. I can not wait to see your Christmas video, count me in!

[@CatherineElaine]

Me too!! I use it all the time 🤗 and thank you!

[@colleenisaac6647]

I always love to watch your videos. I haven’t seen one for a bit but I do check because I enjoy your decluttering. I’d love to see your Christmas decorating video.

I took a week off posting!! I’m glad you thought to check 🥹

That's frustrating KZbin is being annoying with the algorithm. I love Christmas videos so I'm looking forward to the next one 🎄

Great video and I will watch your Christmas decorating video for sure

[@CatherineElaine]

Thank you!!

[@juicie25bt]

I got so much out of this particular video...I STRUGGLE HARD with not letting people have their space the way they want it. UGH! I commend u for respecting ur husband & ur children. I too feel like u do for example that sink protector, I hate ANYTHING that creates more work for me even if it's benefiting something else. My biggest tip is laying the basket side ways so it's easier to grab the clothes & not have to reach over the top. That's too bad that people don't like watching decorating for the Holidays bcuz that just puts me in the mood & brings joy to my day. And, motivates me to put my decorations up. In fact, I watched another Xmas decorating video & for the first time ever I put my decorations up the middle of Nov. Hopefully people will get on board! Ur doing great!👏🏻

[@CatherineElaine]

Thank you so much!! I’m so happy you got something out of this video. I agree it can be sooo hard. And also agreed on the holiday decorating! I wasn’t planning to decorate until after thanksgiving but seeing everyone else doing it got me excited 😆

[@so6962]

Hi, i also hang every single item that my boys wear from the waist up. Also i hang any dress pants or jeans. It really is so much easier. I hang them straight out of the dryer & then take them to their bedrooms. I will look for your new decorating video 🎉

[@CatherineElaine]

It really is so much easier, I can’t believe it took me so long to realize haha I’m hoping the decorating video will be up dec 1 🤞!!

[@so6962]

@CatherineElaine fantastic!! 😍

Hopefully we find one soon!! 🤞

Always love your video's ❤🎉

[@CatherineElaine]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@Kris-jh2ud]

I’ve always had stainless steel sinks. They get scratched but to me, the scratches are better than that grimy, annoying rack. So embrace the possibility of scratches and set yourself free from that bothersome rack 😉

[@CatherineElaine]

Haha 😆 you know what, maybe I will

[@dreamer6943]

Same! My sink is there to be used, not to look pristine on display. I'm not scrubbing a fiddly rack just so my sink doesn't get scratched 😄. Kudos to Catherine for bothering.

[@thebigscreentheory]

15:35 how I would feel so good if my room looked like this as a child. My family has hoarders, so we never let go of a single thing even if it was useless and unused for seven years. It was so hard finding anything. I'd take things into my room for later, just in case I needed the items - because there was no way I'd ever find them again if I didn't

[@CatherineElaine]

Oh no I’m so sorry 😭 I can’t even imagine!!!

[@breeanawagner8186]

I don't often comment but I like the new angle and also really enjoy your decorating videos but I am similar and like a more "minimal" decorating style like you. I find the crazy bold full decorations look so stressful in person.

[@aprilknerr4443]

I liked the angle you did.

[@strano65]

The 2 white draws in the wardrobe, take them out if you can. You will have more hanging space

[@dakotacabn]

I hang all of our clothes too. ❤

[@samantharoberts4519]

Great video ❤

[@lytaylor1204]

Decluttering is a never ending task. You just have to look at it like laundry or dishes. You're never going to be "done", it just gets a bit easier if you keep up with it. Heck, I have a family of 2, no children, and I'm constantly decluttering.

[@CatherineElaine]

It’s very true!! 🤗

[@carolynoquinn4573]

Can you put your sink rack in the dishwasher?

[@CatherineElaine]

Yes 😂 I don’t know why I’ve never thought to do that

[@carolynoquinn4573]

@CatherineElaine Because you're too busy!

[@ReginaChristenson]

Good angle and awesome clean out. Good for you😅it does feel good. I’m doing same thing😅

[@CatherineElaine]

Awesome!!👏🏻

[@ΓιώταΚορμανου-ε3ι]

Hello Catherine i love ❤️ your videos Hello from GREECE

[@CatherineElaine]

Wow, hi!! Thank you for watching!

[@Coachingwithjess]

Kudos for taking on that whole closet! Lol Is he able reach the stuff hanging up?

[@CatherineElaine]

Yes he can! He’s super tall for his age!

[@gemmaappleyard1086]

This is a genuine thing ive wondered about after watching people from America sort their laundry, but do people generally not iron in America? Im from the uk x

[@CatherineElaine]

I don’t know anyone who irons other than for special occasions!!

[@gemmaappleyard1086]

I think it's because you guys dry everything in dryer so no need to iron, we tend to hang things up then need ironing, thanks for the reply! Good luck with your channel.

[@reallifewithali]

I just have to say that I feel your pain about KZbin! My channel is a lot smaller, but any video that is not decluttering that I post, doesn’t do as well. I also would love to do other videos! It’s hard to do just decluttering videos.

[@toby-jeanne_almy]

Is your decor video just posted too late? I see the best performing ones posted about 6 weeks before the holiday they are decorating for

[@juliegass9746]

I was trying to look thru some of your videos but was wondering who is your steam mop from? I had one from shark but accidentally dropped it and is now dunzo. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

[@roses609]

Great motivation

[@CatherineElaine]

Thank you!

[@helenelindholm656]

Great declutter. Great cleaning motivaton too. May i ask what brand your shoe is? The looks so comfy . Take care❤

I wear my Ugg tas slippers a lot around the house!

Hi are u going to do à decorate for xmas video? I think that for xmas its fun to get presents thst you would not buy during the year. A heater would not be à gift that would spark Joy for me. ❤🎄

[@CatherineElaine]

I am!! It will be up in the next few weeks!

[@stephaniemacerola9918]

@CatherineElaine great!

[@16demolka]

I prefer folding to hanging clothes. I’m don’t want to stretch the head hole (neck hole, collar? I checked how it’s called in English but I’m still not sure what’s the best name 😂) and I’m to lazy to put the hanger from the inside

[@CatherineElaine]

That makes sense!!

[@carolynoquinn4573]

Maybe your husband should go through his old Sports Cards? Might be some valuable ones?

[@CatherineElaine]

They actually just started doing this!

[@christinaruiz4183]

Label your next video Decluttering and Decorating For Christmas. I'm sure you have a few things to declutter and it would help the algorithm.

For sure, once I start I might find some things I’d like to get rid of from past years!

[@jodischoolcraft9188]

Professional organizer here It’s 1 in …. TWO or more out !!!! Or no progress is made

[@CatherineElaine]

Yes for sure 🤗

[@Ani_Watermelon]

I think hoarding and decluttering should be teach since teenage years, to have more focus, meaningful, and cost effective life. So much money, time and energy wasted while living and involuntary hoarding things. Those wasted time, energy, and money could be used for something much better to enhance our lives.

[@ikrobiee]

Even a single person can always declutter, kids don't bring in all kinds of clutter, adults do.

[@CatherineElaine]

Oh for sure!!

[@Annie-dt8jb]

u can consider not folding clothes-just toss it into a bin/drawer

[@CatherineElaine]

I have done this before!

[@christinelovejoy3524]

Declittering your clothes

[@susancook3360]

Your son has a lot of everything Does he need 50 pairs of socks Might help to halve your inventory too

[@mechellepillay8801]

U must cut ur sons short jeans and pants into shorts for summer if they still fit

[@mirroria6864]

9:00 you sound a bit judgemental here. Games per se are not bad. Playing them 24/7 surely is. As everything else: Moderation is key. You just sound like you wont allow him to play them eithers because they are gemes. Evem when there are some really great things that can be learned from games. Hope he can follow his hobbys without getting too restricted in them. Just wanted to let you know since I never noticed this kind of tone from you before.

[@CatherineElaine]

It’s definitely not judgmental!! I didn’t mean to come across that way. We are not a video game family however he does play them from time to time and there is nothing wrong with that! We just don’t allow anything violent in our house. But for sure you can learn stuff from them! It’s helped him a lot with learning to be ok with losing, which is something he struggled with before

[@patticake6032]

It’s taken me awhile to get this out. But it’s kind of turning me off from your channel because you never responded to my comments!!

[@CatherineElaine]

😭 im so sorry! I’ve been behind for the last bit. I get a lot of anxiety about my comment section sometimes and struggle to respond to them. I know I should have thick skin to do what I do here on KZbin but I definitely do not and tend to take every negative comment very personally. Sometimes for my own mental health I have to take a break from them ☹️ I don’t like to do that to my loyal subscribers who comment week after week and deserve a response, I will try to be better ❤️
