☘️ Conquer Clutter With These New Year Decluttering Tasks

[@2Beldam]

I love your cute “guest” 😂❤🐶she’s such a ray of sunshine. Thank you for including her. She brightened & perked up my day

[@HowToGYST]

Couldn’t exclude her if I tried. 😂 She has to be in on the action.

[@evasochocki5209]

A clutter vehicle in each area 👍a meal plan with 7 meals to choose from each day👍 these 2 are so helpful for my personality. Thank you ☺️

[@HowToGYST]

Yay! So glad they were helpful. 😁

[@Tinyteacher1111]

That’s a great idea, but my son is sick and on a very limited diet. I don’t think he can eat 7 days of meals!! It’s a low-histamine, low oxalate diet, and it’s HARD!

[@HowToGYST]

@@Tinyteacher1111 I've been on two different restrictive diets this year and actually found it easier when I had the meals pre-planned.

[@gloriaalex11]

At the top of my regular shopping list, I wrote: "Stop buying unnecessary crap!" Friendly reminder to Self. 😄

Your adorable dog (whose name I forget) hasn't realised how much bigger she is now she's not a puppy any more. I laughed at the way she plonked herself down on your lap! I remember how you weren't that wild about having a dog to start with but now look at the two of you - she's a proper Mummy's girl! Thank you for the decluttering tips - always helpful, Laura. 😀

OMG! YOUR SWEATER!!! 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

#7 Use the disposible items up before replacing with reusable items, and only items that you use enough to make it worthwhile financially and environmentally.

[@HowToGYST]

Great point!

[@gracemckinley]

I was so excited when I saw you uploaded this because I've been going crazy this weekend trying to declutter my tiny apartment! One of the things I did though is use Facebook to sell a piece of furniture I no longer use, and I gave away a whole box of stuff to a lady through my local Buy Nothing group for free! I didn't have to leave my building to get rid of stuff that way and saved a trip to the thrift store (where I would be tempted to buy more stuff lol)! Another thing I'm doing for the new year is getting DIY's and repairs I've been putting off done. I'm planning on getting a ripped coat repaired at the tailor and I'm supergluing a chip on an old teapot. (P.S. your Christmas Sweater is amazing)

[@HowToGYST]

Good for you! 😁 It’s great when you can tick off all those little tasks, isn’t it?

[@parkerrose3590]

I love your doggie!! She is so beautiful and friendly.

[@bevw611]

Brilliant idea to make a list of things not to buy! I think there are many people who can relate to the pandemic and having inaccessible items for so long made my hoarding tendencies worse! I have to keep reminding myself of it. Amazon makes is wayyyy too easy to buy more than what you need! Lol!

[@josephdaly2015]

I needed this, thank you. Love when Jovie joins you. Have a great week. Stay safe and healthy. Mary, Joes wife 👏👍🤞🙏💐🐕‍🦺

[@NorthWoodMouse]

I call the not to buy list my Inventory. It helps me say no at the store when I open my phone and see I have 36 cans of black eyed peas (true story) or 25 pens. 😅

[@susanlansdell863]

Laura, I love your sweater! Perfect Christmas.xx😂

[@kosecuvaiboggacuva7522]

Hey, Laura! Greetings from Serbia! Thanks for being so great, I have been enjoying your videos from my old acc and this new one, since the time you were just beginning your decluttering journey. Love your videos and your energy. Just wanted to send you early Christmas and New Year's greetings and wish you everything the best, and a million subscribers in the New 2023. :D Cheers!

[@HowToGYST]

Thank you so much! Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and New Year too. Here’s to health, happiness, and peace. ✨

[@cherylgonzales4146]

Oh, I can relate to needing to finish one project at a time! I thought I was the only one who starts a project and then get interrupted or distracted and the project gets forgotten and buried. I really need to focus better!

[@Ripplesinthewaters]

Hi, Jovie!! She’s your cohost, Laura! LOL! Love her!

[@HowToGYST]

She’s the world’s biggest attention seeker. 😂 Lucky for her she has a receptive audience. 🤣

[@gretelwhite8088]

Jobie is such a love

[@myraaitken8954]

Love the jumper! And of course "Die Hard" is a Christmas movie.... 😁 Love your video and I'm going to extend my clutter box (in the spare room) to a place at the top of the stairs. Hopefully husband and son will be inspired... 😬🤞

[@jenniferbarney4220]

That 2 list tip is genius!!

[@HowToGYST]

As long as I remember to check them. 😂

[@kathypflaume4652]

This was filled with great ideas. I plan to watch it again. Thanks 💜💕💜

[@debsmith3448]

Awesome sweater.

[@ros8986]

five minute yummy spinach - japanese oshitashi - my recipe is - wash and rough chop spinach, put in pan, cover and cook for 60 seconds or until just barely wilted, plunge in cold water to cool, squeeze to remove as much water as you can, mix with a bit of soy sauce, a bit of sugar, a bit of sake, sesame seeds and a bit of asian (toasted sesame oil). it takes longer to read this than to make it, serve room temp or cold.

[@HowToGYST]

Sounds yum!

[@Anyankah]

For clothing in a dresser would you change the way you fold to see if they’re being used?

[@HowToGYST]

Definitely an option. Or move to a separate drawer (if you have a spare) as you wear them.

[@emilywilson7308]

Great ideas!

[@OhiChicken]

Perfect timing :)

[@HowToGYST]

Enjoy! 🙂

[@OhiChicken]

@@HowToGYST I truly did :) My dog does the same thing! He V E R Y slowly climbs on, hoping you won't notice.

[@HowToGYST]

@@OhiChicken If I'm sitting on the couch she'll stand right across me and then slowly lean against me, almost suffocating me. 😂

[@themeadowsosteopathclinic-6192]

Few things, one I'd have no clothes left in my wardrobe, no books on my shelves, the kids would take stuff out of the donation box 🤣 and the unwanted gifts.... can I have the skull mug is it??! 🤣 ooo leggings, mustn't buy anymore!

[@mehis_meh2110]

One time I decided to clean my dad's fridge out for him (this was in late 2022) And none of you would guess how old the oldest thing was. ...2008. It expired in 2008. To be fair it was something pickled BUT STILL

[@HowToGYST]

A few more years and it would’ve had a drivers licence. 😂

[@goodenoughgirl8102]

Love that meal plan idea and also the two lists. I struggle so much with that one thing. I def also need the flex with not being locked into certain food on a certain day Bcuz there’s no telling what my mood will be or what I’ll want to eat. 😅😅 I guess what also helps me is having mostly good choices (stuff I will like and actually eat) and having some easy and quick low effort/time options. For my lists tho I may have three. Need. Want. Don’t even think about it. I can be really bad also about stocking up on my fave items..esp when they go on clearance and I worry if they’ll stop making it. (Or if there have been times when I had difficulty finding it at all). 😂😂 But I have found that very few of these things are “forever things.” You think you’ve found “the ones” but then you realize a lot of that stuff is like flings and better stuff really does come along or your needs change over time etc.

[@goodenoughgirl8102]

@@laurie6644 Yes. I agree. These times really can make you wonder what will be too expensive or simply unavailable, that’s for sure (and I def think esp with food supplies). Not having the lotion or hair gel won’t kill me but starvation would be a bigger problem.

[@rondaherriott]

Was that a meal plan app?

[@HowToGYST]

It's the meal planning page in my digital planner: howtogyst.com/2023-digital-planner/

[@janeteggleston4764]

What breed is your dog?

[@HowToGYST]

She’s an Irish doodle (Irish setter - poodle mix).

[@janeteggleston4764]

She looked so much like my Kerry Blue terrier. He has a poodle type fur and no shedding.

[@JohnNathanShopper]

👍

[@HowToGYST]

😁

[@ros8986]

My question is "what is the most useful thing I can d at this moment?"

[@HowToGYST]

Great question!

[@clcnj5365]

As for hanging clothes and turning them all backwards from the start Sounds silly. makes more sense to leave them hanging where they are and after they are worn washed and rehung then you change the hanger to face toward you.

[@HowToGYST]

Also an option. 🙂

[@casswilson3964]

I keep buying my 6yo tshirts when they're on a really awesome deal. Now he has "eleventy-bajillion" of them. I need to stop. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
