Declutter my Life | Organize with me | Hoarder Recovery

[@stefbmccoy8297]

Such a new energy today. You really are ready to let things go. You have come so far.

[@megandavis3815]

Exactly what I wanted to say!! Doing a great job!!

[@ClaireMooreSteel]

It’s so great. The letting go decision seemed to be easier than ever.

[@courtnez]

Agreed! Wow, she is on a roll! Those decisions were so easy for her. What wonderful progress!

[@ahoardersheart]

Oh my goodness, you are the SWEETEST!!! You truly made my day and keeping me motivated to never give up!! 🦄🌟🙏🏼💜🌸

[@TheJoyFinder]

Who is this ruthless decluttering machine? And what have you done with Ms Heart from whom we had to pry the smallest tossy tossy? 😂 I can't tell you how much it delights me to see you like this. 🎉

[@ahoardersheart]

lol!!!! I really could see everything for what it was!!! I needed it anymore!!! That felt so freeing!!! Thank you so much for your encouraging message 🦄💜🌟🙏🏼🌺

[@vanessawhitneypro]

ALWAYS inspiring! Thank You.

[@catherineduran2689]

I loved hearing you talk through the emotions of decluttering the address book. Recognizing that it was sentimental, talking out the struggle, but then watching your logical mind take over and realizing you would never actually need it in the future was very useful. I wrestle with these same mental processes & watching you overcome and move forward is so helpful.

[@joyindrelie6715]

I remember when you looked for the item that feels easiest to toss to start your decluttering, and now you look for the section that feels easy to you/most interesting! A HUGE milestone!

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so so much my friend!!! You are so right, I can look at a section and just start decluttering, WHOO HOO!! 🦄💜🌟🙏🏼🌺

[@keishabell7820]

New subbies, please go back and watch videos from years ago! I’m so honored to have been along for your healing process! 🎉🎉🎉❤

[@lipbalmqueen]

Great declutter as always

[@Lovely-sv1ye]

Re: your question about where people keep light bulbs. I have to remember the words of my decluttering guru Dana K White. She advises us not to worry about where something “should” go (ie: where other people would normally put the thing). Instead she teaches us to ask: “where would I look for this thing first”? Her concept is that everything should have a place and once we can figure out where that place is, it makes it so much easier not to put the thing down somewhere else. And so it reduces clutter.

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so so much for sharing that!! I actually thought of that myself, “where do I usually look for these things” but I didn’t realize Dana K. White already said that! She’s pretty smart!! 🦄💜🌟🙏🏼🌺

[@joyindrelie6715]

It seems that you're starting to value your space more than tons of "what if" items that are honestly probably not going to be used, and if you wanted them they're very easy to replace. That space is SO valuable! ❤️

[@ahoardersheart]

Oh wow!!! Thank you for pointing that out!! I didn’t even realize that! You’re right, I starting to value the open space instead of the hoarded clutter!! 🦄💜🌟🙏🏼🌺

[@NourishmentRedacted]

You have clarity now. You are looking at your items with clear eyes. I look forward to every Friday ❤

[@ahoardersheart]

Yesssss!!! Finally after all these years, I can finally declutter with clarity!! Thank you so much my friend 🦄💜🌟🙏🏼🌺

[@SonyaChavez]

Wow, you made some great progress being able to let some stuff go.

[@kristalahaye3766]

I store my light bulbs in the laundry room. However, it really comes down to Dana K. Whites "where would you look for it first"?

[@keric3730]

I store mine in with the water heater. I don't have that many bulbs so the all fit. Also, it's such a quiet space that i wont accidentally squish then

[@ahoardersheart]

I like the laundry room!! I can picture that way better than the garage!! Thank you for sharing that with me 🦄💜🌟🙏🏼🌺

[@sharonpennington439]

This is one of your best videos. It’s like a summary of several concepts. I like how you ‘moved on’ & didn’t feel bad about prior stuff.

[@MsArtistwannabe]

It’s really happening. I remember a few years ago seeing your hoarded basement. Wow, so much tossy tossy over the last few years. I’m so happy for you.

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so so much my friend!!!! Your sweet encouraging message keeps me motivated to keep going 🦄💜🌟🙏🏼💜🌺

[@katarzynas.6781]

You're the best! ❤

[@nancycosgrove4005]

You are amazing💕

[@lisachaput2952]

That's amazing! It's not just getting rid of things and organizing things, but that they can be put together! Because there is room to move and space, that they can be put into categories! Brilliant as ever! Ms. ❤!!

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so so much for your encouraging message!!!! Yesssss, we’re finally breaking those final chains of hoarding disorder 🦄🙏🏼💜🌟🌺💖

[@sevasxtra08]

Loving this energy! And I was very surprised at you getting rid of the 101 Dalmatian shirt! You are doing the damn thing with confidence and good mental health!

[@AmyWhoLovesFlowers]

I love what Ms. Heart said about "breaking free" from the little basket! I find myself feeling that way too. Sometimes even things I really like ~ are actually a burden! But sometimes I don't notice that too clearly because it's cute or special or something… and I get distracted from it's actual impact taking up space… and time… and thoughts… and effort living with and managing it. But it's hard to remember that when dealing with a lot. And the easier thing is usually to keep and delay (emotionally speaking). So, I really try hard to ask ~ "Is this item secretly annoying me? Do I want to think about it again? Is it paying it's rent?" That helps a bit, but ugh! I so want to get rid of these micro sources of stress! 🧘🏻‍♀️✨ I really must work on developing my 'breaking free' muscles like Ms. Heart! 💪💖

[@ahoardersheart]

Oh wowwww!!! Great questions to ask!!! I love that so much!! Thank you so much for sharing with us 🦄💜🌟🙏🏼🌺

[@TallMChannel]

I just have to tell you Ms Heart, I really look forward to see your videos every Friday. It is late evening for me (due to time-difference) and your videos are a way to unwind into the weekend for me. I always start into my Saturday motivated to get stuff done. Thank you for that

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe, you are the sweetest and thank you for making my day 🦄💜🙏🏼🌟🌺

[@rebeccajordan4491]

Wow! When you got to that shelf, it was like a whole new person!! Amazing!! Decluttering Olympics GOLD!!!

[@rebeckamattisson5083]

Wow, my girl is on fire! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 my jaw dropped when you made all those quick decisions by the shelf...and you let so much go! Great work with condensing the Christmas totes too. Lots of love! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@kaycee625]

You are on FIRE!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 The decluttering muscles are HUGE!! 💪

[@annburnett9059]

We keep our light bulbs in a bin in a cabinet in our laundry room. Keep up the good work. We appreciate you.

[@ahoardersheart]

I think the laundry room is great idea!!! Thank you so much for sharing 🦄💜🌺🌟🙏🏼🌷

[@flightlessphoenix77]

Those shelves you cleared off will be great for organising the things you are keeping like craft supplies. Way to go today!

[@ahoardersheart]

Yesssss!!! What a great idea!! Thank you for sharing this with me 🦄💜🙏🏼🌟🌺

[@juliawieting7765]

You are so confident now -- and decisive. Go Team Heart!!! Love your message about learning to be hard on ourselves. No one is assessing us, right? There's no grade. And no one else is doing the work in front of us either.

[@ahoardersheart]

Yessss! I wanted to share bc I know I’m my own worst critic! I just don’t want anyone else feeling like that too 🦄💜🌟🌺💖🪻

[@tizianachiffi1204]

I have been doing a Hoarder's ❤️ marathon! 🤗🍿 Seeiing the floorplan of your dreamhouse, i had to look up what a grt. Room (great room) means. It is also my dream to have a house with a Great Room but i just learned it has a name for it! Plus, living in Belgium, doesn't make it easier to know those terms. 😁 The plate with the waving girl on 5:22 is soooo cute! 🌈 I remember a few videos back, you mentioned to make a Halloween declutter video in August. Looking forward to that and just every friday for you to upload a new video! 🤩🧹✨️🐈

[@torischroeder4211]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Hearts for Miss Heart! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so much love 🦄💜🌺🙏🏼🌷🌟

[@eyrunsigrunardottir6977]

OMG, you are really entering a new era in your decluttering journey! It´s like you are starting to be "over stuff" and that must be such a relief for you💜

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so so much my friend 🦄💜🙏🏼🌟🌷🪻

[@Objet_Dart]

Our lightbulbs live in a lidded plastic tub on the open shelves in our basement laundry room. The bin is clear to make the contents obvious to my visual-thinker husband whose brain doesn't easily compute labels alone. The tub is easy to grab and bring to the room in which it's needed. Sometimes when a ceiling fixture bulb blows, the markings have worn off the old bulb and we don't remember the wattage. Having the tub at hand means we can quickly swap out the chosen replacement if it winds up being too dim or too bright without having to make another trip downstairs!

[@ahoardersheart]

Love love love!!! Thank you for sharing this bc I can see me creating a visual basket in my laundry room!

[@Objet_Dart]

@@ahoardersheart I default to clear or open bins when organizing things everyone in our house uses: bulbs, batteries, medicine, snacks. It makes those things quicker to find when we want them, but, also, when we arrive home with a couple of grocery bags full of stuff, it's easier to delegate help in getting it all put AWAY! :)

[@jannn7454]

Talk about unfinished projects ... so much of my clutter is just that! Thank you for allowing it to be okay. Now i won't feel guilty every time i see them! ❤

[@tizianachiffi1204]

What a big progress! The 1st time you didn't look for a piece of trash to begin the declutter, wow! 😱

[@HolographicCathawk]

This video was very satisfying! I love how you explain everything and it makes it easier to forgive myself for doing similar things!! You are teaching me such important ways to think differently. I can see why it would be hard to get rid of the heart earphones but you did it! Ms. Heart...thank you as always for sharing this journey. Side note...one in three families can't afford school supplies and teachers make up the difference most of the time. Consider donating the crayons!

[@carypolakowski4817]

I love the bag with a random rubber band in it, exactly what I might find in my house. Who know why, right?lol Great job as usual!

[@dianerobertson7988]

My lightbulbs are in a small bin in the laundry room. I had a ton of bulbs and now I have them all organize them. I only buy if I need them.

[@njmaryannez]

This was a really satisfying video to watch. Keep it up ! 😊

[@joanlauridsen2288]

You have really come so far! Another great job! ❤ i would love to see the whole basement now ❤

[@marinalodi6313]

You are in a new level of declutter: more organization less tossy tossy hahah level up!!

[@chelseagomez1182]

I’m so excited to get into that small section of the basement that hasn’t been touched yet!

[@ahoardersheart]

Oh yesssss! Definitely need to get in there!!! 🦄💜🙏🏼🌟🌺🪻

[@paulvavrinchik1934]

I’ve been keeping light bulbs in a labeled storage box on a utility shelf in the basement. It’s been a game-changer to have them all in one place. I also do this for batteries. It’s been working nicely because it’s all contained in one place. Btw, I love your basement declutter videos. You’ve motivated me to do the same with my big, fat cluttered basement…LOL. I started organizing & decluttering my basement last year after a flood. You’ve given me the motivation to persevere. And, also that it’s OK to take your time doing it. Thank you!

[@adriennenelson759]

I have a plastic shoebox size bin for lightbulbs. I don't keep a lot of them on hand, so it works for me. The bin lives on a shelf in my laundry room.

[@aileenreynolds5604]

WOW! Rocking the decluttering with new found confidence! Your whole demeanor and tone of voice have changed and become so "Boss Lady"!!! Well done!!! You've really got the momentum going!!! Keep up the good work!!!

[@xasasux]

Wow you did so great going though your items. You were able to declutter so much.

[@rg-mi5hh]

Still decluttering our basement in little chunks at a time. It doesn't become overwhelming that way for me. Your videos have helped me see that others also have too much stuff. Life happens and it takes time, so whenever there is a few minutes, that's when it gets done. I also realize this stuff can be kept churning for years or I can be rid of it.

[@ahoardersheart]

Let me tell just how incredibly proud I am of you!!!! Whoo Hoooooo, I am cheering you every step of the way 🦄💜🌟🌺🙏🏼

[@ronibo9]

Absolutely love this video. You have progressed so much over the years. Inspirational!

[@sarahjohn1484]

If I had a linen closet I would have a bin in there for lightbulbs, but I since my home is lacking in storage space I have a cabinet in the laundry room with a bin of lightbulbs in there. I also keep a small battery organizer (with tester) next to it so all lightbulbs and batteries are in one place. Everyone in my family keeps a flashlight in their room/nightstand, but I think a heavy duty flashlight and weather radio in the same spot is a good idea.

[@AmyWhoLovesFlowers]

Yay!! Thank Goodness It's Friday! So nice sorting with Ms. Heart & Ms. Pepper!! 💖✨

[@ahoardersheart]

You are the BEST and I just LOVE your energy 🦄💜🌟🌷🌺

[@fluffbottle]

This was a wonderful video. Thank you so much!! ❤❤

[@andrearobbins9450]

My light bulbs go on the top shelf of my laundry room. Easy to find but out of the way since they're not used often

[@ahoardersheart]

I love the idea of storing them in the laundry room!

[@bethstratton3391]

Ms Heart you are sounding so much more confident in decision making these days and your ability to remove things more quickly is certainly an impressive improvement. Also, I feel that the category organisation is helping you see just how many bins of stuff you have per category. Maybe if you re-count the number of bins in each category it will help you establish in which areas you still have too many things. Also, may I suggest that you might want to go through your Christmas bins again before you put them all back in the cave, after the leak is fixed, especially because you have added a few more bins full. Then you can re-check you still want to keep it all. Finally, it was nice to see that shelf emptied of clutter because now you can use it to display things you want to keep on there instead. Perhaps a display of your My Little Ponies or some of the crafts you’ve made might keep you inspired whilst moving forward. Also, may I suggest you put all your lightbulbs in a clear bin and keep it either in your kitchen, your linen closet or where you keep small hand held DIY tools.

[@melissaweller3718]

I have always put my Lightbulbs in hall closet

[@emilywoods4869]

Amazing! I was so sure you were going to keep that 101 Dalmatian shirt. I’m shocked! Well done! Your decluttering muscle is getting so strong. If there was a decluttering event in the Olympics, you’d get gold! 🎉🦄💜

[@SalsaNube]

I can only second all the comments saying, how wonderful it is to see you so decisive and confident, and so eager and sure about decluttering things. And how quick decision you are making! Love that you made some tossy tossy out of the very sentimental bin! And have to say-you look great in that dress! Lovely, bright, energetic-just like you are:) Plus, it was a nice contrast with the Christmas stuff. Even, if it was accidental, it was a funny coincidence to meet full summer mood with the snowy ornaments:) You go Mrs Heart!❤🎉🦄🏠😻

[@trekkie-cat]

I just love Pepper! 🐱💖🐱💖

[@susanmunoz7688]

You are doing a great job Ms Heart!❤️🌺♥️👍

[@rvmomma8687]

OMG! You did so good today!!!

[@leezasims9959]

Great job 🎉🎉🎉 Its all getting sorted so nicely. Slowly and surely ❤

[@fordfamilyfunds]

Woah! Great job letting go of the 100 Dalmatian tee. You’ve grown so much 🥰

[@greatauntlizbethg9137]

My lord miss heart you have come a long way. I am a low level holder, heading towards minimalish on some things. You got rid of sentimental and useful items I would keep. Well done.

[@lindamusser7370]

I try to keep the light bulbs together in a box.

[@kaylag9579]

Our light bulbs are in a bin with a lid. In the laundry room. Really enjoyed this video and you going through why you kept an item. Loved it. Good job!

[@LADYSILVERWOLF028]

I keep lightbulbs under the sink with cleaning supplies in a little basket. Its eas to get to and less likely to get broken than the garage 😅

[@janeorr3074]

Your progress in being able to make decisions quickly and without so much anxiety, is remarkable. Such an inspiration!!! Best wishes!

[@fangirl365]

Always good to see a big declutter! I do wanna say real quick because of the list at 3:14, as an autistic person myself, that charity isn’t really one the majority of autistic people support. It’s a lot to get into, but I highly suggest doing some research and maybe considering a charity that is run by autistic people in the future. As we like to say, Nothing About Us Without Us. Personally, I like AWN😊.

[@blubbblubb6239]

Wow, it is really nice and impressive to see you on your journey! Today you seemed more relaxed than ever and made more an more choices, which even I am sometimes struggling with as a non-hoarder, striving minimalist!

[@ginagonzalez6547]

Hi, even though I'm still decclutering, I intend to put all emergency items together like blackouts. Matches, candles, emergency kits, light bulbs even though it might not help during blackouts but at least it has a home there. Also, batteries and everything that has to do with emergency situations.

[@thebeachyfarmhouse6410]

Great progress and love Peppers inspection of the tossy tossy pile! ❤❤❤

[@mistybroadway5720]

Great job! You have come so far, so proud of you! As for the light bulbs... We have ours in a labeled tote on a shelf in our laundry room.

[@kellyharris4639]

I use your videos as inspiration. I went to my craft room- dumping ground after watching today. I got a large bag of trash and recycling along with a box of donations. Slow and steady .

[@kaylashaye16]

Great video. ❤️ I started watching your videos before I became a mother, so I didn't understand why you saved a lot of the baby items. Now as a mom of 2 under 3, I get it. Lol

[@stefs3460]

I could relate to a lot of the items today! I too have many suction cups and boxes that appliances and electronics came in

[@orysyaf8337]

I keep my light bulbs in a big tote in the garage on a shelf. All kinds of bulbs including car bulbs go in there.

[@ginagonzalez6547]

I don't have little ones, but I buy heart artichokes in little jars. I collect them for items such as beads, buttons, safety pins and anything that needs to be contained in a see through glass. Plastics turn dull or scratched with wear and tear.

[@jenniferr-f3157]

Great energy!

[@nancykaplan7163]

Light bulbs. In my large house I kept small basket in second floor linen closet with a package or 2. And a variety of wattages on shelf in basement. Current small condo apartment I keep them in one container in hall coat closet.

[@sarahloy2699]

Wow, you have come such a long way! Good for you!! I love seeing this and it inspires me! My adult son was helping me get some things out of the barn a few days ago, to set up for a yard party. I started to pull out something that was missing a part and he said "leave that one" But he was really proud of me when my response was "then I need to replace the part or throw it out, not leave it in the barn". And I have already picked up a new part and fixed it!!

[@TheCaitling]

I've always stored lightbulbs in this big old cabinet above the back stairwell. There was just a large space there for things like bulbs, tools, fold up camping chairs, coolers, etc, random things we don't need often. Anywhere you store the bulbs will be good since you don't need regular access to them - when you need one, you'll go find it (versus something you need daily that must be in a convenient reachable spot)

[@MA-rk7dr]

I store all my lightbulbs together in a bin in my walk up attic.

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so much for sharing with me 🦄💜🙏🏼🌺🌟🌷

[@bonesareheavy]

You really got a lot done! I see now what you were talking about with doing the videos again where you talk through the thoughts on the items. It's really helpful to have examples of positive "letting go".

[@volunteerworker]

Small basket in the kitchen closet is where ours are. But, we are at a point aside from rare use lightbulbs left, we buy regular use bulbs when they go out just in the amount we need at the time.

[@eminmisin4117]

We dont store light bulbs,if we need we go and buy

[@lisamyers5314]

I keep my lightbulbs in the laundry room. I have wire shelves in there on the walls, the kind you would typically put on a pantry door. It holds all kinds of little things like lightbulbs, extra dryer sheets, extra air fresheners, extra ziploc bags and so on.

[@charishurt1768]

Fantastic job lots if strong powerful moments congratulations beautiful lady 💜🦄

[@leahfischer5264]

[@sarahamill1793]

You are doing so great! Love watching the progress. Would be interesting to see some older shots or clips from when you started down there. So much room has been opened up

[@inaecht]

Congratulations 🎉👏🏻 I'm really proud if you! Throwing out this dalmatians shirt is proof of your successfull journey. I watch your channel since the beginning and this is a really _huge_ step forward you took. Now you are free to decide what you really need at this point of life. ☺️ Also thank you again for telling your story. Greetings from a comfortable minimalist, who needed 20 years to throw out an old pencil that was loaded with bad memories. Felt great afterwards 😅

[@sherrygantt2158]

You are still going strong. Proud of you!!

[@elizabethd9871]

Wow, you were on fire today!

[@sarajewell8995]

I put my light bulbs in my utility/laundry room. It’s where I keep all of my extra supplies like trash bags, baggies, TP, light bulbs, shampoo/bath supplies, and etc…

[@Amy-fk5we]

Omg sooo much progress 👏🏻👏🏻 love it ❤💕. My grandmother had a very good point the other day. She is 95 and now is living in assisted living, since she is too weak to walk around anymore. She now has only about two plastic bins of possessions left. That’s all that fits in her room. She has only a very few prized possessions and her favourite photos on the walls. She said when she dies she can’t take anything with her, so stuff doesn’t matter to her. She is surrounded by the absolute most significant items to her and she is happy, it’s all she needs. She does value all the family visits though ☺️. If we are lucky to live a long and healthy life, that’s where we end up anyways, with only two plastic bins of a lifetime of stuff,so why waste so much time on possessions now.

[@Xiroi87]

Great job, as usual! I remember that box with bright colour stripes from on top of a pile when you had little paths to move around. It's great that you got to it! I also recognised the Marilyn picture in the background. I think we churn objects that we feel are not ready to get rid of or just go through. After all clutter is just postponed decisions.

[@juliemix3373]

Nice job. You got a lot of thing more organized and it looks great. I remember seeing you years ago and my goodness what a change. Cheers

[@patpalmer1337]

Wow! Great day!
