Decluttering with Energy Limitations (One Hour Better)

I love this One Hour Better decluttering coaching session because we made great progress, and followed the No Mess Decluttering Process without moving around. She suffers from a health issue that means she tires quickly and may need to stop decluttering at any time due to exhaustion. But that’s WHY this process is so helpful and effective!

I've helped a family member with mobility issues by pulling the dresser drawer out and bringing to them at a table, they decluttered the drawer, I returned the drawer to the dresser and brought them the next drawer. Small things like this can help in a big way by offering to be their able-bodied runner and encourager.

I can tell her stuff is probably wiping her out. She will feel amazing after this. What a wonderful thing for her to trash the items she can replace easily, if she needs them. I bet she will not ever need them again. I wish her the best for better health! ❤

Thank you to this amazing teacher who bravely let us watch her declutter, it’s really helpful. Covid exhaustion is awful. Best wishes.

"Don't make a bigger mess." Mind blowing. I always make a bigger mess when I am cleaning out stuff, and my mobility issues and back pain are exacerbated. This video changed my perspective.

I was a teacher and had to leave and brought EVERYTHING home. A lightbulb went on for me that stuff changes so much in the classroom, that most of the stuff I saved I probably wouldn’t even use a few years later. It was so freeing and I pitched it all.

Started applying your methods (and attitude!😄) when I was going through an awful health crisis. Cleared out “stuff” so kids & husband would not need to after I died. I could only do 10 min at a time, but worked it in when I was standing up for other reasons. Well, I beat the illness and I have some beautifully half-empty, decluttered closets now. Thank you, Dana! You gave me a focus in what were supposed to be my last days! XOXOXO

Hearing you say "Is it on your computer/can you print it again?" was an epiphany moment for me. I'm a paper resource hoarder.

I have chronic pain from lupus and fibromyalgia, as well as congestive heart failure. I try for 20 minutes at a time-or three classic rock songs…. A good day of decluttering means two days of rest.

[@grutarg2938]

I love how realistic this is. You can’t do everything in an hour, but you can sort through two boxes of paper until it becomes one box, and that’s pretty cool.

So glad to see Dana work through a literal “I can not take it there now” situation , and yet find a way to make great progress still!

OMGosh!!! This was so so good!!! I’d like to thank you, Dana, and your Kindred Spirit Patreon member for sharing this!!! I have stage 4 cancer and the fatigue is real and I can not stand for prolonged periods so this really struck a chord with me! I’m on permanent disability and you have shown me how I can get started and continue with your program and it will work so then I can make some progress. I can’t afford to contribute through Patreon so this is so helpful! You are both very sweet people and very intelligent and very kind! May God continue bless each of you!!! 💙💙💙

Please thank the lady for her time here.

Sorry - that was so kitty cat!! In the tub and then the meow of protest!!😂😂😂

It was so good to see a fellow teacher declutter; I have gotten some decluttering done since I retired, but it is tough to get rid of things and this will help me go further. I don't know if I will be subbing, teaching online, or what, so that has made some of the decisions hard. It was also nice to see it with a fellow person with body limitations.

[@CoolInOlympia]

Great!

[@markwalton3367]

Great video! I am a retired teacher recovering from COVID. I got 30 minutes decluttering done while this video was on. I was surprised that 30 minutes used properly does make a real difference. Later I will watch this video again and get another 30 minutes decluttering done. Maybe "half-hour better" is the right amount of time for me to declutter.

[@KyoKitten]

I love this one. I have a lot of limitations physically that oftentimes make it feel impossible to get things done or make me feel the need to push too hard just to see some form of progress which is really bad (I know it, habits are hard to break), but seeing it can still be done and reminded that some progress is still better than none nor is it worth my health is really nice. It makes it feel a lot less overwhelming. Thanks.

You can’t know how much I needed this, my ability is so limited, exhaustion and extreme pain episodes! I have caregivers who are getting on board with your steps but I need to work with them! Just removing trash cleared up about a third of my art and craft studio! Caregivers are watching your beginning videos not only to help me but themselves!

[@katiewilliams6240]

Thank you for making this. I'm recovering from chemo and surgery. With the no mess method I can stop once I start to feel exhausted.

I also have so much trouble with throwing away a hard copy in spite of having it available in a file. We are all works in progress.
