Decluttering is one of my favorite things to do. I recently helped a friend declutter her whole kitchen. Her counters were covered in stuff. She sends me pictures of her beautiful clean kitchen on occasion. I’d say another benefit is less anxiety. I had more anxiety not being able to find things because I had too much stuff. The Minimal Mom on KZbin helped so much when she said that everything in your home is inventory in your brain- you have to store it, maintain it, clean it.

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Oh I love hearing that about you helping your friend! And so true!! Anxiety is absolutely something that happens with excess clutter!

[@rhondageorge3159]

Great tips! I think it was Olie! Thanks for sharing!

[@TishaDiodati]

Being a cancer patient it’s making it very hard for me to keep up on things. When I get out of the hospital this time we are starting this. We live in a very small apartment so it is needed.

That is Ollie ❤ such a sweetheart. I like your cats but I love your Emma I am a dog person. Love your videos. You are my friend who lives in Arizona.

[@angiemac6935]

Love to declutter...it does feel so good....tfs

[@deborahodonnell5420]

I totally agree with decluttering and do it all the time. I don’t agree with the throw away society though. If you love to sew and it is just not the season of life right now it’s okay to keep that. When you are ready again it will feel like you reconnected with a dear friend. In the 45 years I have owned my sewing machine I have gone through this many times and it always feels good to go back it. Don’t be in too much of a hurry to get rid of everything. If it truly something that “sparks you joy” then keep it ❤

[@annw1395]

Exactly!

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Very good point! Thanks for sharing!

[@juligodsil1337]

great motivation for my upcoming move declutter...I am starting now!

[@paulakelley4845]

Great video! De cluttering is so cathartic.

[@cack121]

I think it is Felix. I wish I had the availability to declutter my entire kitchen at once. Not only is it huge (we have more cabinets than 2 families need) but I lose focus and cant string that amount of time together. I recently started working in there, however and I do one cabinet or drawer at a time. I take everything out, clean it, laying in new liners and only putting back what I know I want. So far, so good You do really well at decluttering, thats for sure. Keep it up

[@sburwell75]

Immediately after watching your video, I decluttered several never used items in my kitchen. Thank you for the motivation. motivation

[@Dina-Dee119ps59]

👍👏😱That’s GREAT AMANDA! You did some major decluttering in the kitchen! The boys are going to make some bucks at the garage sale! I wanna go!🤭🤣 That must feel AWESOME! I love your kitchen and it looked organized to me! I am in the midst of decluttering pj sets! 🫣That’s enough! I always like comfort and that needs to be my focus! I have sets that are too too thick. If I lived in Alaska they would serve the purpose!🤣 I want a new closet and want to give it all away and start all over!🤣. Thank you for your book tips! Made sense! I believe that was INSPECTOR Felix! 😉He likes cabinets/closets and was getting into them before you had Ollie!🤣He also is usually where you work or film. Ollie hangs out to play! ❤They are so cute and clearly have their character traits!

Great job, great video! Thanks for sharing with us! Love ya, Cindy 💗🌻

[@kathleenquinn4654]

I've been using one trick I learned from you. I declutter and put things I haven't used in a while in a box and put it in my garage for 6 mos. If I don't go looking for it, I donate it at the end of the 6 mos. It has really been great and I've donated so much stuff. Thanks for the energy to tackle my kitchen today. Still some to go through but at least I've started. I also think Ollie was the kitty in the closet.

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Yesss! That actually makes a huge difference & actually really easy to do! (As long as you don’t open that box up to see what you’re donating and have second thoughts lol

[@sabrinagraham7794]

Yay!!! New video!! More decluttering for more motivation!

[@cathleenweaver6483]

I'm here in Prescott taking care of my sister. She came thru surgery perfectly and shud be up and around in a few weeks. It's been mid to high 70s which is great for this Southern California girl hahaha. But going to get low 60s for the high starting Wednesday brrrr... So watching your videos always gives me a calming break which is needed right now 💜💙💚💛🧡

[@williej3831]

Looks great! Can’t believe you got rid of all that stuff.

[@annahoover5296]

Hi Amanda hope you and family had a great week end.

[@ThisCrazyLife]

I think felix was in the cupboard.. really inspired to declutter today thanks to u and your ideas

That was definitely Mr. Ollie 🖤 I really need to declutter my clothes but I'm sentimental with clothes more than any other material things... so it's tough.

Volgens mij was het ollie en wat een fijn filmpje weer heerlijk lekker opruimen ik doe dat graag het geeft een lichter gevoel in je hoofd erg fijn.ik wens je een prettige week groetjes bo

[@ditzy6014]

Another amazing video Amanda! I need to take the old shelf liners out of my drawers & redo them. I think it was Ollie. 🐈‍⬛

[@claudiaoneal9576]

Love your decluttering videos. I think it was Ollie🐈🐈

[@aprilinalabama9074]

Your cats are adorable 🥰❤❤

[@farrahroberts5151]

I think it was Felix as he always likes to hang around and be part of the action. I have a female black cat 🐈‍⬛ named Bubbles. They are the sweetest. Love your videos.

[@jasminetreesageorge5620]

The satisfaction at the end of a long declutter...I always had goodnight sleep whenever I decluttered and arranged my space

[@gloriapinonells1472]

I love all the storage space that you have in your kitchen. We are planning to renovate our kitchen this summer and I'm so excited I can't wait to get started. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤

[@busenburg79]

I love your kitchen! I’ve gone through my kitchen so many times trying to declutter and come up with the best layout for functionality. We have a very small kitchen so it’s difficult to store things. I need to declutter the office. Right now it’s a drop zone for everything and anything. I’m currently in the planning stages of a makeover for that space to make it a dual function space for my husband and I. He needs a space for working on the computer and I need a space to do my hair and makeup. Office/Glam Room combo, definitely not typical but works for us.

[@lindajones320]

After watching your decluttering videos I have started the long process of decluttering our home. You are such an inspiration to the rest of us!

[@paulettemejiabz]

I started using Mason jars a while back when I first saw them on your channel.

[@ThisCrazyLife]

They’re so easy to use!!

[@dottiedenning8619]

Great job, Amanda!👍👏

[@mrspalmere]

❤❤❤ I just decluttered my pots and pans. Its amazing what I held onto before this.

[@renam4160]

Amanda, I love these decluttering series. Your first episode gave me such motivation I talked with my husband about some of the things we’ve been holding onto. My grandmother gave me some things and now hearing what you said about your sewing items not using them makes you sad. Thats more motivation to fill my boxes I have. I have 4 boxes so far ready for donations. I have so many of my grandmother’s cookbooks I never use them. My mom has a lot still. I decided to keep just a few and I’m donating all the rest. My kids will more likely not use cookbooks my husband said. So Amanda I want to thank you so much. You are truly amazing. Your videos are so motivating and calming to watch. 🤍

[@beautyandthefeast2]

I'm gonna say that was Felix! Love your decluttering videos ❤

[@susanatwell8274]

Wow - I'm adding more peace by taking extra away - really hits home !!! I am totally envious of your large drawers you have - would not even be possible in my home and it makes decluttering/cleaning out makes it very difficult because even with "necessary" things . . . .just no space . . trying to be creative but I DO enjoy seeing your wonderful spacious kitchen.

[@ThisCrazyLife]

I love getting creative with small spaces! I totally want to do a small space organize and share it sometime!

[@ivankaparis9473]

❤❤❤ Thank you for your videos Love to see organization

[@shereemorgan1430]

I just decluttered clothing in my closet a couple of months ago. In the spring I will declutter a whole lot more clothing. If I don't wear it this winter, it's going. Great video and have a nice week!

[@NoNameYouTubeViewer]

💡 Cabinet Next to Dishwasher: What if you drilled holes and add a cabinet shelf to use more vertical space 😊 OR add a pullout drawer like the one for your cleaning rags

[@carolynlulinski8593]

WOW Amanda how awesome. You have been such an inspiration for me to go through my cabinets and declutter. I sure makes my house feel so much cleaner and neater. My husband had a stroke back in May. He’s been in and out of the nursing home. Hopefully he will be home to stay with physical therapy, occupational therapy and nursing care. It has been a real struggle to keep up with deep cleaning and organizing. I feel that I have spent my whole spring and summer travel back & forward visiting him. How that he’s home I have a little more time to spend cleaning and catching up with everything. Always enjoy watching your the best.❤❤❤

[@linp1268]

Oh my goodness. I need as much inspiration as I can get. I need to declutter!!! When I have done it previously, it makes a big difference as to how I feel mentally and physically. Thank you for your good example!!

[@joyceheaton2406]

I myself feel like it's reasonable to have 2 weeks worth of clothing so 14 pants and 14 shirts. And the reason I say that is because if your washer goes down or your dryer goes down, at least you have plenty of backup. That's just what I think.

[@billandbeverly]

In the cabinet with your pan lids, I started using a wire rack that’s for dishes . The slots allow them to stand upright and I put my lids in each little slot. That way they stand up and It’s easy to find the one I need.

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Thank you!!

[@debbietabares5010]

I think that is Felix. I love watching your videos…I get so many good ideas in organizing and decorating ❤

love how you've decided to deculutter your kitchen....It's never easy.....the other sense tells you to keep it, but idealy you do not need it.That was a big step....For me am afraid to declutter my closet but seeing this. Am ready to do i think someone else will need it more than me. I think the cat is olllie❤

[@ireneromero5326]

[@debrapoe1951]

Hi Amanda, I declutter almost daily. A friend shared her decluttering hack several years ago and I've used it since. Buy the large paper leaf bags and put anything in you no longer use or need. When it's filled take your local donation center. We usually take one bag a month. Once I place in the bag I do not take out!

[@JenMct-xi8xp]

❤❤ Thank you for sharing! So glad you addressed focusing..

[@shannonkelly-harmon4762]

Decluttering can be overwhelming. You are sharing real life tips that deal with those feelings. So, thank you. When you are ready for the next stage, I would suggest putting the popcorn kernels, with the stadium cups to have one designated movie night area. It will save you time when you have movie night to have it all in one place. See? I'm listening. LOL. Have a great day!

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Perfect idea!! I love it.

[@HantieErskine]

love how you just declutter, I struggle with letting go of stuff, but feel more inspirited to just start decluttering

[@ThisCrazyLife]

Haha love the pun 😅 and yesss! She has such great tips!!

[@conniehalaberda1583]

After a massive storm and a flooded basement....I had to do a big clean out in the basement. I was brutal and got rid of SO much unnecessary "stuff"! I agree with you Amanda, decluttering one area gives you the motivation to do more. I'm proud to say, my ENTIRE house is now completely declutterd and it feels so good! While I wouldn't wish a nasty, flooded basement on anyone, it was the kick in the butt I needed to do what I've been trying to do for YEARS! Thanks always for your upbeat motivation and tips on keeping our spaces clean and organized...I had your tips in mind with every single space that I decluttered!!❤

[@glendagoodson4106]

Decluttering episodes are my favorite!

[@kaseyfarmer8232]

Happy november!!!

[@joyceheaton2406]

I think a lot of times and I'm speaking mostly for myself, that We first have to figure out. Why do we hold on to so much stuff for me And I think for a lot of other women. We Either went through where we've had to loose a lot of things or we've had to sell things and then repurchase them or whatever the case may be. And I think that that makes it harder for us to declutter things when we have lost things. For whatever reason, and then we have a tendency to want to go purchase them back when we're able to. So we have to get the right mindset and figure out why we keep cluttering up and holding on to things. And once we figure that out, then we have won the Battle, In my opinion. That's why I've always said that before We start a decluttering process in our homes we need to declutter our minds first We need to figure out why we hold on to so many things and not be able to let them go. And once we figure out that we don't have to have those things to make us happy, then we have won the battle It makes decluttering that much more easier.

[@leighannestarks5787]

LOVE decluttering videos. Inspires me to declutter my stuff!! 😮

[@haileyfigueroa]

hi amanda, i appreciate you taking the time to film and edit these videos for all of us on top of being a full time mom. watching your videos definitely bring a second of peace and much need motivation. so, thank you!

[@jos-1994]

Amanda, great job. This was a declutter at its finest. TFS the motivation and detailed tips. One additional benefit in decluttering is to have a space that serves you and your family. I've been told a cluttered mind can spark a cluttered space. As much as we tuck away, store, hide in closets or shove in a drawer, the things are always there and will not serve a purpose. I think it was Ollie 😊🤍🖤

[@conuregirl007]

Wow, Amanda! You really did a lot of decluttering! I've been doing that too-all summer. Now, I'm needing to do it again already! How does it keep coming back?! So frustrating! I need that book!

[@robinmcmillin-of5ff]

I’m going to guess it was Ollie taking a tour of your cabinet! 😁Your comment of “I’m adding more peace by taking extra away” really got me. I definitely need to keep repeating that as I go through my entire house! This past weekend I was working on my kitchen counters & I was able to get rid of some things because I actually admitted to myself that I was never going to use them & it felt so good to let it go. I even took some items down to storage instead of just leaving them sitting out like I had been doing. I’m so ready to get back to decluttering my house. Hopefully I can get a bunch more done this coming weekend! I think it’s great your letting the boys work the garage sale & allowing them to keep the funds - what a great learning tool for them!! P.S. it was so sweet to see Emma, Ollie, Felix, & Benji all together!’

[@anitabyars9082]

Hi from KY! I need to declutter from the front door to the back door! I was in a car accident 7-1/2 weeks ago. My sister and niece came into my condo and moved some things around and put some things in the garage so I can get around in my wheelchair. (I broke both feet and a wrist.) My daughter is staying with me and it is so hard to sit here and watch her do all of the housework. I keep thinking that if I had decluttered more she wouldn’t have so much to do! Once I am back on my feet there are going to be some changes!😂

[@ThisCrazyLife]

I hope you are able to heal quickly!!
