EVERY TIME you see new floor space is a VICTORY! You go, Girl!

[@khioriobi5224]

I love that your friend came to help. She seems a delight. I love the saying "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with a friend." :)

[@lucindalincoln2956]

That is a lovely saying !

[@Chrissyhappy]

You’re doing an amazing job! It could absolutely overwhelm you and give you an excuse to stop. You’re doing so well to keep at it! Well done!🎉

[@laurac56]

When you get the junk mail out of your mailbox, throw it directly into your recycle bin. Sort immediately. It is the only way to deal with it unless you can stop it from coming.

[@kbal1451]

Same here. It's made a huge difference. Not having something come into the house is a game changer. I'm not just careful with junk mail not coming into the house but everything now.

[@carrie3206]

Yes! If you have a situation where you can grab the mail when you get home and then sit in your car and sort through it before you even get out, could be a game changer. It worked wonders for me. ❤❤❤

[@vicki1120]

Same here. I don't have any paper clutter.

[@Suz9006]

The first thing I saw in the mountain was all the bottles. I would have pulled those all off right away because its easy picking and would make a significant dent in the mountain.

[@vicki1120]

@@Suz9006 , I agree. I would first break down all the empty boxes as they are bulky and take up so much room. Next. I would collect all of the bottles for recycle and then all the trash. That would clear up so much space and create more space to go through items to declutter or keep.

[@parkerrose3590]

I can write a book about my adventure in decluttering. My husband was a hoarder. I lived with him for 50 years. When he died I had lots to do. My stuff was also getting out of hand. It took me 7 years to finally be normal and live clutter free. I got rid of family china, and thing people made me, etc. I didn't care. I donated most of it or threw it away. Another way to get rid of stuff is leave it at the dumpster. Right now I have 100 books in boxes to donate, but I'll need someone to pick them up. I can't wait to let it go!! Good luck on your journey.

[@harpieahouse6246]

your laugh is so delightful, coupled with your bravery to show your struggles and determination to work on them no matter how long it takes, its no wonder your channel has blown up

[@jonnaborosky8836]

I've watched lots of shows where others do the work of decluttering for someone. Those are interesting, but I can't tell you enough how your video is encouraging and inspiring me. When I see that you can take care of your own decluttering, it makes me feel like I can do my own, too. I especially like where you talk about not wanting to keep going, but you do anyway, you say it's not a a quick journey. It took a long time for the mountain to grow and it'll take a while to clear it. I also love watching you make all your own decisions for yourself. It's SO motivating, inspiring and encouraging to see you do this for yourself. I feel motivated to get up and try to do my own decluttering! I want to thank you with all my heart! Now, we'll see if I act on this motivation. I might have to watch several more videos of your helping yourself... to see if I can get up and get started. Immediately, as I think of starting, I remember there's no where to put most things....😊

[@PeelingAwaytheClutter]

I'm so glad I can inspire you! You can do it, I promise! Keep in mind that if you get stuff out of the house you can make room to put things. Even if it's a slow process. Wishing you the best.

[@ToniDamian]

I totally agree this is so transparent .. inspiring. someone is watching and starting the process in secret and I say good for you

[@MrsThompson1981.]

I love hearing you laugh at yourself, smile and make a joke of something that normally would cause someone anxiety..im sure it did cause you some anxiety but you are an amazing example of someone that pushed through it and didn't let it get the better of you. You are an inspiration. Brava!

[@rhondahoehne9143]

I don’t particularly care for cleaning videos but I must say I do like a good declutter. You got this! Just make sure that your filled donation boxes and bag’s don’t sit around… take them to charity at least once a week.

[@Chrissyhappy]

Yes I do this. I make sure when I go near a donation centre a bag goes with me. No matter how small! Keep on top of it.😊

[@aziaramirez3932]

I love when you talk about what's going on in the video and what you are thinking...I don't feel so alone in decluttering

[@lzal9204]

You’re doing fantastic! I think we can all relate to that overwhelming feeling of trying to de-clutter at some point in life.

[@dabneydee9109]

I've watched the show "Hoarders" for many years, and have seen how paralyzing the clutter can be. Many people are too overwhelmed to tackle it on their own. Nice to see someone taking initiative and just getting it done with consistent effort! Great job!

[@beyondslwadams4225]

You. Imagine yourself like a mountaineer. You traverse the abyss's. You keep going. Nevermind the avalanche! You just pick up and keep goings on ❤

[@donnaseeton1473]

You should be so proud! I’ve been decluttering my craft room this week. I couldn’t walk in there and I can now see the floor. Yay! Keep going!

[@smilingjacks83]

Brilliant

[@bettyhornberger1470]

Congratulations on getting the love seat and ottoman cleared....what an accomplishment...you should be proud!

[@michelleslutz5471]

WOW!!! You are doing AMAZING! One pile at a time, One box at a time. You have been so motivating to me and I'm sure others as well. Keep up the awesome work.

[@shannonstroud2479]

I am so pleased for you that you have a friend who you felt comfortable enough to let in and to let help you!! Well done. Amazing job!

[@heleneplate6813]

Can't tell you, how impressed I am. I am German, 58, and did my declutter just one year ago. My mother was very organized, every one of her three daughters feeling to be a total failure in comparison until today. I learned how to storage stuff and doing the thing with papers as your friend did, at my first employment. So I had much more skills for it than you. BUT: It is not about how high the mountain is. Is it not about trash and empty waterbottles in between. It is also not about rotten food, as some of us has to deal with. It is only about HOW IT MAKES YOU FEEL. I also sat there for years, thinking "How could I ever solve this? No way." This feeling is like a stone on a rope around your neck. But one day. One day you will start. And yes, I needed help from a friend, too. I was able to decide what will stay and what has to go. But to think about the future of the items, that are not trash ... And she took all of them with her. Using it, selling it, trashing it... Sometimes she tells me, to whom she gifted some of my items and how happy they are. It is like a candle light, going from hand to hand, lifting up the mood of the one, who is just holding it. And yes. You meet your old dreams that did not come true. And yes, it is time to let go for some of them. New things and persons can only enter your life, if you have cleaned the space for them before. What I can also tell you, is: Living in a decluttered home is like someone, who lost a lot of weight: Everyone else can see it. Only himself is still feeling overweight. Brain is faster than feelings. Sometimes I trash my home during a week and think (as for decades): How should I solve this? The brain answers: No problem. Every item has its home, you will be done in an hour. But the feeling... still has a mountain to conquer in front of it. Love your honesty. And your ability to TELL your thoughts and feelings during this. You do not necessarily have to write, to be a writer. ❤

[@YTmama-c1o]

I am a brand new subscriber. A friend recommended your channel. As soon as I started watching you I was just in awe of you! I admire your determination and the real observations you make. I have so often come to the same conclusions as you...and other thoughts of mine that never were even clear in my mind until you actually SAID it. I am glad you say it's OK to pause...it's OK to not throw stuff away...now. It's a process...and we learn about ourselves along the way. And what a great reward! A nice place to sit and look out the window! Brava, Mira!!❤💐

[@nolasavedmysoul]

I’ve been on a decluttering journey for the last 5 years. Little by little peeling the onion back. I like to keep track of how many boxes and bags I’ve donated (43) and how many things I’ve sold (~300). I don’t even know how much I’ve thrown away too. It keeps me motivated to see those numbers grow. Great job!

[@catilyeverafter316]

Ooh! That’s a great idea. Wish I had started that. I’m almost embarrassed how often I have the donation pickup truck come to my house. I always wonder if the neighbors think I’m moving. 😄

[@PeelingAwaytheClutter]

That's a great idea. Thanks for sharing!

[@emilytaege]

Long videos are good! I like them because I can put it on for a cleaning session or even just at my desk for work. You are so chill and like to hear you talking. This video I think is one of the most profound because it uncovered a functional piece of furniture that you couldn’t see. You got this.

[@donnahilton8924]

I started my decluttering journey by listening to KZbin - the Minimalists, Dana White, etc. I just absorbed for a couple months before actually starting. They, and now you, were great motivators! ❤

[@beyondslwadams4225]

To belittle is to be little. To declutter is an accomplishment! I turn to you for your wisdom. Im full of self hatred.

[@jill4684]

OMG the bowling strike had me laughing! I like both short and long videos, sometimes I just want to watch something quick and other times I like to have a long video on to watch while I declutter too. Your videos are awesome!

[@shellyw379]

I love watching you clean the piles. I tend to shuffle stuff from room to room. You are inspiring me to clean as well. Thanks for posting.

[@RitaVernoy]

As someone with PTSD, I applaud your hard work and progress🎉🎉🎉 It’s an amazing job!😊

[@PeelingAwaytheClutter]

Thank you so much!

[@stephaniefinley7833]

😂 Bowling with the water bottles!!!! Awesome. How gratifying was it to see the sofa? Yeah you!!!!!

[@MsArtistwannabe]

Depression is a tenacious foe. It does sometimes shut me down but I am comforted by knowing it will pass. I love that you have such a supportive friend helping. I’ve been at my garage again and so happy about it. I love a hoarders heart. She’s working so hard and sharing so much of her story now. I love the name of your channel. It’s perfect for what you’re doing here. You are really doing well. I look forward to your next video too. However long or short you want to do. Another great channel is Tracy Akamini she has worked through a lot. She’s on a bit of a break right now.

[@LC-38338]

Thank you SO much for recommending Tracy Akamini, I found her you tube channel, and I LOVE it. I love her personality and her approach!

[@kristenthornton9580]

Love the longer video! A mix of shorter and longer is always nice. Fantastic job on chipping away!! So motivating. What I listen to when I’m working on things: documentaries, audiobooks, jeopardy, and declutterring videos!

[@jeaniedelaney4711]

What I love about your channel is that you are showing that progress can be made one area, tower, and mountain at a time. This gives me hope! ❤

[@mommabear123]

I despise junk mail and think it is a huge waste, so I made a red stop sign with "NO FLYERS OR JUNK MAIL PLEASE" printed on it, laminated it, and taped it to my mailbox. I loved the water bottle bowling. Too cute! This may be one of the most inspirational videos I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing this journey with the world.

[@jillvankerschaver1311]

Another way to start is to remove as much trash as you can, then separate items by category. You’re doing good!

[@annamariabo8963]

Seconding! Rather than picking specific categories which might mean touching and putting back lots of items, start with "easy" first by removing all trash.

[@annetteneuenfeldt5533]

I find unsolved mysteries very soothing and there is something to the justice of it all😂

[@Patricia.R.]

Wow,Mira! You did a lot. Great job. I enjoyed this full length declutter. The ‘bowling for bottles’ scene was funny. You have a soothing voice, and a sense of humor too. I like listening to you talk. I hope you take us through your exit strategy for getting the recycling and donations out. Do you wait long? Do you take it all at once? Or wait for pick up days? I know you’ve got to be tired after all that. What an accomplishment! 👏🏻👏🏻❤️

[@PeelingAwaytheClutter]

Thank you! I like your idea about discussing my strategy. I'll make a note to do that.

[@barbb126]

Mira, I just found your channel last night, after watching Bonnie from A Beautiful Mess clean your kitchen. I’m so impressed with your progress! I can identify with you in so many ways - I have a ton of books too, and they’re hard to let go of. All my flat surfaces are full of stuff. I have a craft/scrapbook room that’s been a dumping ground for 15+ years. A few years ago, I finally started painting it - moved as much as I could into another room, but the rest I had to keep moving from one side to another, over and over, while painting all the necessary coats. Now I’ve been SLOWLY going through all my stuff, trying to figure out where to put it so things I want to use are easily accessible, and displayed in a cheerful, pleasing manner. I can’t wait till I get to the point where I watch what you do with your craft room, but I’m starting with your earliest videos and working my way forward. I enjoy longer videos, and greatly prefer listening to you narrate them, as opposed to the music. Keep up the great work! 👍

[@elizabethmccullough9607]

Life does not always go the way you thought it would go. You have a soothing voice. You are very interesting to listen to. You already have 4000 subscribers and you are learning the ins and outs of podcasting. I love books and thought maybe that could be a future Podcast. I am homebound , disabled with ms. I'm sure there are many like me out there. Ill be watchhing you to the end of your journey. You go girl!

[@jojobe8078]

Thank you so much for baring your soul to us in this video. I am right here with you. There were many moments of empathetic anxiety and fear while you were so courageously throwing things out and sorting the donations. And the devilish boxes of clutter!!! I know that feeling only too well!! The ups and downs. The beating yourself up. And having a friend you are comfortable with to help you! Priceless!!! Many blessings to you. I look forward to seeing the rest of your videos. A move forced me to deal with most of my clutter but I still have boxes and more boxes to go through. I think your channel will help me with the process once I recuperate from my upcoming hip replacement. Thanks again! ❤️❤️

[@daniellebcraftingcorner]

What a wonderful friend you have 💜💜💜 whether videos are short or long, I don't mind! However I love that this one had more narration than music 🥰 I'm often doing other stuff while I watch these type videos so I like to listen to the type of stuff you're finding, your process and thinking, all that kind of stuff. Again I'm SO PROUD OF YOU! ❤️❤️❤️

[@jenniferknowles7219]

Thank you for your encouragement. I am 59 and I’ve finally come to the point where I have to get rid of the clutter for my own peace of mind, and so that I’m not to embarrassed to have friends over. It’s not easy though. I have my days where I make a dent and days that I’m too tired from working full time and overtime. you are the first one that I’ve found that I can relate to. So again. Thanks for the encouragement. ❤

Thank you for your video. I was led here from the video of your kitchen makeover. My inspiration for decluttering and cleaning comes from videos like this, and this is what I like to watch/listen to while decluttering/cleaning. Thank you for being brave enough to share your personal journey, it truly is inspiring.

[@annag176]

Ooooh! I LOVE the cardboard box folding part!! Personally I do it as I go while decluttering because it gives me a kick thinking "Hahaa, I got you box!" while smashing it together. 🤣 So inspiring and cool you got that mountain under control and that's such a true friend joining you 🙂✨✨

You are amazing and I love the longer videos. I also studied English and had 1000s of books but over time I whittled them down to what I heard called a Hall of Fame. - maybe 200 that I’ll read again or have meaning to me. Keep going we’re all cheering you on. Now back to the video…❤

[@RedArrowTinker]

Wow, Mira, that was a BIG JOB! And you and your friend did it in just 5 days. It made an amazing difference to your living room. Not only did I not know there was a love set under the pile, I didn't know there was an ottoman and also a window back there. You did GREAT! Congratulations! I understand why you got a little emotional looking at the before and after photos.

[@LorreneRomanic]

When you talked about the daunting box that had over lots of miscellaneous items that you were going to have to deal with, and how much it stresses you out - don't think of it as having to deal with over 100 things - just deal with one item at a time. And if you use Dana K white's no-mess decluttering process, you won't make a bigger mess than when you started. Remove trash and then if there are items that already have a designated home, take them there right away, then look for "duh" donations - as in, "duh, I can get rid of this!" and then what's left you ask if you needed this item, where would you look for it first, and then take it there now. If you don't have a good answer, ask yourself if it would ever occur to you that you had the item. If not, you can probably get rid of it, because chances are you would go buy a new one anyway, because it would never occur to you that you had one :) What I love about her process is that she never asks if this item brings joy, or if she's used it in a certain amount of time - she just asks "where would I look for this item first" - no judgment about whether or not she *should* keep the item :) My brain works like her brain, so it has been really helpful in decluttering my house! (I'm still working on it - after about 20 years! One day I'll get my house fully decluttered!)

Love the long narrative. I use it as my body double.

[@brikhouse22]

Thank you for making a video about actual decluttering yourself as opposed to those videos where someone just comes in with a shovel and throws everything out. I can completely relate to you and everything you've said, I have ADHD, anxiety and depression so it feel like everything is holding me down from doing this. It's exhausting.

[@tabithaenriquez1330]

[@SharaLee60]

Congratulations on your youtube channel getting so many subscribers! Well you just got 1 more, ME. I just saw you letting Bonnie help you declutter & clean your kitchen & bathroom for you. So glad she could help you. I'm proud of you for letting her help you. You're doing a great job. On the junk mail, why not when you have some time make junk journals out of the junk mail & sell them. I know a lot of people do it. You can use your sewing machine to sew pockets to pages, & tags, or just make pretty designs. I love doing it. I haven't tried to sell any yet. I'm more of a sewer, i make Raggedy dolls like raggedy Ann & Andy & sold several too, but a long time ago. I make purses, pouches, & stuffies! So I really respect what your doing & I know you'll get it all done eventually. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing all this while you go through everything & make it so real. You have a wonderful & Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

[@mondfalkin3781]

thank you 😊🤗 for sharing your insights that things are not just things but also unfullfilled dreams- I finally understand now why I have a hard time to donate some stuff...😅 I need to let go of the dream first, it is like to accept that a cherry tree has many flowers but not every one turns into a fruit...

[@jennifermanian1420]

I like the long videos myself. The Midwest clearner said to just get up and move one thing. I remember that when I had to do supper dishes. Just moving that one thing sets you in motion to keep going. Your friend is worth her weight in gold.

[@librarynan4610]

Junk mail has to be dealt with on a daily basis. It is a matter of establishing a new routine. Same for dealing with the cardboard boxes and other recyclables. You are doing a great job. You will have an organized space before long.

[@charlettecooper9457]

I love your long videos. You making me go through my stuff.

[@kbal1451]

Be very proud of yourself, it's a great achievement. So many of us struggle with our stuff. Your friend is a treasure and I'm sure her seeing the results like this is her own reward. I'm sure all your supportive subscribers believe that you deserve to gift to yourself the lovely home that you're revealing with your decluttering process. Keep the momentum going but also give yourself time to enjoy the space with your lovely pets and get used to it. I'm happy for short and long videos, I'm just keen to see the progress that you're making.

[@sandragerhardt2309]

Loved the bowling game with the water bottles.

[@Hechete]

I get the intimidation factor of 'the box of stuff'. Ive come to think of it as 'well, if I haven't needed it for this long, what are the odds I REALLY need it now? It's hard to part with stuff and it might sting a little if you have to buy something you DID throw out, but it's incredibly rare that there's something important in those boxes. You really end up looking through them for deep sentimental things and can donate or junk the rest. You mention it being hard when they're gifts. You give and get gifts to show love. It's the act of giving, not the gift itself that's important. Also, I appreciate your honesty in tearing up at the amount YOU DID in those days. You did SO well and we're all SUPER proud of you! And hope you still are too!

[@carlagrs]

You did great! But it is a marathon! Maybe it could be easier if in one first pass you just throw away boxes, cardboard, wrapping paper from packaging etc. Those things that are just trash and take a lot of space. That will leave just the things you want to initially keep. You can put them aside more or less organised. Then on a second pass, you could categorise things while seeing what you can let go. And the next time to time you can revisit each category when you feel its time and see what is really to keep and what is not. At least things will be more organised from the start, and each time you will have the feeling of accomplishment and won’t get overwhelmed by so many decisions. That is how I decluttered my whole house, it took time but it worked. And what a great friend you have!

[@michellejackson1445]

I see two things you can do in the future to keep this from happening again, and one of them I see others have commented on--throw that junk mail away when it arrives! I don't know of any way to stop it from coming--how I wish I knew! The other thing is, when you finish a bottle of water, don't just toss it aside. Put it immediately into recycling. Keep up the good work!

[@duanagayle]

i much preferred you talking thru your process than listening to that whistle song over and over again as in previous videos. you are an inspiration to me, for sure. i have so much sorting and getting rid of things i don't need anymore in my life. thank you for showing us your journey. keep up the good work!!

I love how you've given your piles names 😂. I wondered why you didn't call Clutter Tower Clutter Mountain, now I know this beast was lurking. I'm so impressed by how you are pushing through, its a lot of work. But also pacing yourself. You've got us all cheering for you.

[@JMA864]

OMG the water-bottle bowling was the best!!!!

[@laurenquick6666]

You are doing so good! I can hear the emotion in your voice at the end. I always find I emotionally declutter when I physically declutter. Keep going and let it bubble up. We are all human. You are so brave and strong for making these videos. You don't know how many people you are helping to motivate. I like your long video too.❤🎉🎉

[@jelliebean1]

Very impressive! I am enjoying listening to your voiceovers. You're a good narrator of what's going on.

[@mandyburns-iy7lx]

Well done Mira, that was amazing and so motivating. Put a No Junk Mail sign on your letter box, you can buy them at hardware stores. How about investing in a water filter instead of using all those single use water bottles. In New Zealand each home has recycle bins. It's great to be able to brake down boxes and get rid of them right away. I'm excited to watch your decluttering journey. ❤

[@molee8863]

You're doing a great job! I've been on a decluttering journey myself. Just tackle a box, a draw, an area at a time. Keep it up 😊. Thanks for the continued motivation.

[@djladygee]

Brilliant job hon, it was wonderful to see you sitting on your couch again, and see all that stuff going out of your life. Couple of suggestions: Don't count the number of items due to be decluttered ie in that box. Count instead the stuff you are getting rid of, weather it's items, or bags or boxes. It feels an even bigger accomplishment and that way you are motivated to do and get rid of more. Plus, for me, it was like , OK I got rid of 1797 items, I must find another 3 to round it up to 1800 😁 Great motivation. Next, Don't put the boxes back on the couch at the end. Sort them during declutter into a box per room, and next time you go to that room, ie bathroom, take bathroom box with you. You can organise it later but at least stuff are in the correct room and living room looks even better. On day to day basis, put the items near the door, and again, when you go to a specific room, take the item with you. I find that I now am so used to it, I activity ask myself is there anything I need to take to the bathroom 😁 Re the length, my preferred one would be around 20 min, or I might have to wait for the weekend to watch it. But I will still watch it either way 😁 You do whatever is best for you. I like that you talk through the video, personally I hate music in the decluttering videos, as I like to hear person's thinking process and decision making, just like older Hoarders Heart videos before this year. Sending a scratch to your lovely dogs ❤❤ Keep going 😁

My family and I moved earlier this summer. Our possession date was moved up by a month and a half, so we couldn't declutter nearly as much as we wanted to before the move. Most of the essential items that we use daily have been put away and now I'm left completely overwhelmed about what to do with the rest. We packed in a hurry and not well or efficiently, so many of the boxes and bags are a hot mess. And now the house is in need of a good cleaning to boot. And the yard needs attention. There's nobody like Mack or Bonnie or Barbie where I live to help me. But watching your videos is giving me hope and inspiration. I'm going to go through a few boxes right now. I've at least managed to keep my bedroom and bathrooms tidy.

Sorry to leave so many comments! I just have a lot of excitement about your cold process. The anxiety you talked about, when it starts to get worse before it gets better. Are usually take a break to bring stuff to the Goodwill at that point. It gets me out of the house, and when I drop it off at gives me a big dopamine rush. Gives me a fresh state of mind, a little fresh air and sometimes I stop for a coffee or a treat. Before I resume decluttering, II also take the trash out of the house and the recycling. When I come back, there is more space because of the donations been gone . Then I get fresh boxes and start the process again.

Wow! You can really see/feel the energy shift in the room! I really enjoyed this video! Especially the cutting down of boxes. I do that in my own home too 😃

When you mentioned there was a couch under that pile, I blinked and had a brain reset. XD Video length is fine. :) Main thing is seeing it to completion. Love before and afters. That tape line is crazy. The pile didn't look like it stretched out that far, from the initial angle, but that really cleared up a lot of floor! I actually paused partway through this video and went and read a book, 'cause seeing other people with books helps kick me into gear to go through my collection. :)

I do love the declutter channel where they go in and help people but you are one of the few that really are doing it themselves just remember you can do this and we’re here to support you. 🎉 ya you! don’t stop. the TV stand is a great next step and to keep you motivated and you have places for the ones you find 😊

Your friend seems like a lovely person. She was so respectful of your belongings. And it seems like you ladies are having a great time laughing and talking.

[@rhythmannblues1182]

I see I'm a little late but I am so happy for you! I completely understand the struggle and know it's not easy. However you accomplished it, I'm proud of you. 😊❤

[@LaurenSmith-tb6ye]

You did it! Glad to see you back! Give yourself some grace. Do more shorter videos. Space them out over time.

[@johannaunrau7742]

I was going to say the same. Don't overwelm yourself😊

[@Mimiof297]

I love the longer videos. I suffer with anxiety and I think depression on my clutter but you inspire me. I still don’t know how to start. 😢
