Decluttering and organising stationery, books and paper 📚 Sort Your Life out 2

[@1withwolves]

Lol too many books? I have 5 bookshelves full to the brim. Lol no such thing as too many books. They all bring me joy.

[@edivaniald]

Exactly: no such thing. I have a bookcase and a half full of books :)

[@ShipCreek]

I love my books. Couldnt imagine a life without books in it. But.......Ive culled at least 400 books over the last 2yrs. And I still dont regret it. It simply made room for new books🤣 I reread my books also. Im easily entertained😁

[@emmapalmer7946]

I have a room full of books. I decluttered about 500 books a few years ago and I still have that many. Book shop clerk perks. No such thing as too many books as long as you love them!

[@lealou1092]

My dream room is floor to ceiling bookshelves, filled with books, covering every inch of the four walls with comfy place to read in the middle.

[@JellyMotion]

I grew up surrounded by bookcases full of books, now I only like to have books I am likely to read, or are signed/have sentimental value. It's so interesting the differing value we put on books, I'd much rather someone else was able to read it rather than it collecting dust on my shelves and making me sneeze! :) Edit: Saying this if I had a bigger home I would definitely have a bookcase of my favorites, but I'd want them to be beautiful collectors editions :D

[@OwlPossum]

I don't think there's anything wrong with being a "stuff person", as long as you maintain your awareness of it. You seem to enjoy things in a tactile and aesthetic way, you like art and creative materials. You aren't hoarding everything you've ever picked up and you've literally made a living out of being organized. Don't feel disheartened about not being a minimalist you're doing a really good job.

[@millionsparks96]

Best scene was when you said "why do I have so many?" while holding a pink book saying "more is more" 😂

[@majonm125]

Thought the same 😁

It pains me when I hear her nervously dragging herself in more than half of her videos when she’s in the shot..... Girl stop you are the bomb and that’s that! The color is YAS and your vibe is YAS. Period.

[@little7redify]

Her hair is literally goals like who calls that a phase? That's my future goal when my hair grows out it's not a "PHASE"

[@bordercolliestudios984]

this is so true!!

[@thenerdymillennial]

All of this

[@Miss_Annlaug]

A girl so stylish even her messes looks good haha! I loooove all the colors on all the papers and books

[@shey8984]

Youre new hair is so beautiful. It really makes your eyes stand out! Good job for keep going even when you were feeling deflated! Remember youre supposed to feel happy about what you get rid of; not sad to force things out. If youll use something or it means something to you then keep it. Anything you get rid of is better than nothing so dont pressure yourself too much!

[@madamg612]

Is anyone else looking at the “before” pile and thinking that really isn’t too bad?? 😂😂

[@THEHOLLYWOODTIMES45]

I was thinking the same like that it didn't even seem like much ! Lol of course, everyone has there own limits on the amount of clutter

[@naheenisapoet69]

Yeah me

Is the perfect way to procrastinate your own task, it gives you the feeling of the work done (and serotonin release) and you did nothing XD.

[@cable30]

I have learned as i slowly start decluttering recently to become minimalist at some point. alot books is fine as u try sort all and know what u wanna keep most. dont loose patience, just do declutter any over time and then it gets easier since u not gotta do all in one day. just do what u can when u see they want or feel the need to get rid of stuff at anytime. it all just helps to have less to move or clean anytime. so have fun and be happy what u do get done anytime.

[@isabellarae9904]

H: *points at pile of books* that’s too much! Me: *guilty looks around room literally overflowing with books* yeah, haha, that’s wayyyyyy too many books wow

[@Aphrodite890]

I have 400 books 😭😭😂😂

[@pjmnjoy]

I have 650 books Including magazines, books, notebooks etc😭😭😭 I picked a room only for my books😂

[@MituDjakarian]

I think people really need to be aware of their possessions and aware of what they're buying, but sometimes minimalism is too extreme. Like, what's the problem if I have a hundred books or whatever? If there isn't space for new objects, then yes, some must go, but if they can be organized so you can get a look and use them...? With this trend of minimalism, decluttering and Marie Kondo, *I feel like people just found a new thing to stress about*. And some of them that are going to extreme might regret it 30 years from now because they threw a lot of memory-related things away and brain-memory doesn't last forever, that's why we need physical-memory. No need to keep every bus ticket, but there's a midway somewhere. I'm not saying this is your case and hopefully you'll feel better after you finish it, but don't stress too much about it. I'm not talking against you, I'm just... reflecting on the topic, I guess? k, love u, bye

[@MituDjakarian]

@@GlowstickRaves Yes, I know that that's her method. It's what you said: people don't understand it well and think you have to throw everything away to be happy. But Marie Kondo is a cool lady.

[@rebeckablevinscreativecrea3971]

I decuttered my craft area this morning and it looks wonderful! Love the hair! You rock it!

[@ghoulianna6188]

First time here in your comments section because girl, that hair color, THAT HAIR COLOR is just perfect for you. Matches your skintone and your eyes so well. Love it, love it, love it! btw, your tips are always helpful

[@ghoulianna6188]

I'm sorry, I just can't with your new hair. HAHA IT'S AMAZING, ROCK IT GIRL!

[@srslywhatever]

You can never have too many books. fact.

[@ClockworkSnow]

I have just over 300 and I would whole-heartedly agree 😄

[@larissa_s9973]

Yup

[@falafelbrincess]

If you're a person that wants to have a lot of books, then yeah. Not everyone does.

[@KupoKaachan]

There is a great episode on Hoarders whereas there was an old couple who did in fact have too many books, so much that the poor husband had to sleep in his car due lack of space

[@snowflakedice]

Dont feel defeated! Progress, not perfection. If the things make you happy, then keep them, but find a good place to store them.

[@Dwynfal]

You look great as a ginger Hermione! Well done you at getting through books and papers. I've just started on books and considering I purged them already a few years back and kept only ones I truly loved (and would reread), I am dreading the second time around... because I still have hundreds of them. Several hundreds 😳

[@tbaker4171]

I'm struggling with books!

[@NullitasAmare]

I found you a couple of videos ago. You are a very classy and entertaining young lady, and the fact that you're pushing yourself to organize your life and make your home a home is inspiring! I too am having a quarter-life crisis, but watching you do what I need to do with my own world is helping me step up and have fun with organizing everything. I found I've been holding on to a lot of things that I'll never wear, that I keep for occasions that may never happen, or just because I think it's 'pretty'. You're delightful and have a home you're filling with light and happiness and I absolutely admire that! Thank you for your videos, your time, and keep at it! You can do it!

[@evewithwonder]

I feel like decluttering a lot of stuff would really help in my house, since it's really small, but my mom is the one making all the desitions and she always needs everything, it's so frustrating. I always tell her that she should get rid of some things and she says "no, that can be used for this thing" and I know she haven't used it in years and she never will, but it's pointless arguing. On the other side, I think that feeling pressured to be a minimalist is a mistake, too. You should live with what truly makes you happy, no more or less. If 15 things make you happy then go ahead, if you need more, then good, too, as long as that really makes you happy. PS. Yes, that BTS book is the most important read 💜

[@lifewithmarlies5691]

I really feel you with the mom thing! Always when I try to declutter she has to be around because otherwise I would be throwing out too much stuff that she would like to keep even though we don't use it. It's so frustrating. Our house is a mess and I can't fix it because I'm not allowed to.

[@helpmetosleep]

Well, guys, start with your own belongings and don't worry about the rest. Signed, been there.

[@mifermen]

🌟 KZbinrs buy a lot of crap and do KZbin hauls ---> KZbinrs realise they don't need all that ---> KZbinrs start to discover minimalism and do cleanups and Marie Kondo videos ---> start again 🌟

[@joellesfails]

I've been decluttering a lot and I find that I do much better with less stuff. I can't keep anything tidy otherwise, even though I love tidiness. But it's all about the amount of stuff that feels right for you, even though I got rid of a lot that I don't plan on replacing, I could hardly be called a minimalist. As long as it feels right, it's right for you. Love your videos as always - and girl, you always look amazing.

[@cindilandmesser9616]

I love that you are being real about being a mess! Life is messy and that's ok! I'm so happy to see you accepting that and not making everything picture perfect just for KZbin.

[@pretzel876]

With Magazines, if they have articles in them, I tear those pages out, put them in a little flat binder folder. That way I don’t have to keep the whole magazine.

[@aestheticstate.8881]

I think your hair looks BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for the inspiration to get our new year - new lifestyle ALL SORTED OUT!

[@adelacristina5665]

hermione I love you, just the way you are don't worry about putting yourself out there because when people love you they will accept you ❤️

“This feels like a personal attack” made me laugh out loud, pause the video and write this. I just found your channel. You are a delight and I like the auburn

[@samanthadawe9018]

[@UserUser-nb5mt]

[@nimedhel09]

I came across this video and, when I heard you say you had too many books, my brain stopped for a moment. I don't think a person can have too many books. Books are knowledge, and knowledge is gold.

Dont throw out useful stuff!! Ill take your notebooks!

[@ellafay3874]

I think your hair looks great! I definitely had my quarter life crisis last year and over the holidays did a huge declutter and reorganise of some sections in my life and your videos are helping me get motivated to have the rest done to have a clean and organised 2019. Clear house equals clear mind and all that!

[@aekfuturewriter13]

Thank you for sharing this! I have many drawers and a bookshelf full of notebooks and journals. You’re inspiring me to begin to really take a look and organize what I have!

[@maggieanderson3778]

I LOVE to watch you declutter, Hermione, my dear. It makes it so much easier for me to get started. I have a notebook that I use to write to projects in and then tear the page out when I get it finished. Right now it only have 4 pages in it. It started out with 25. A little at a time.

[@leezasims1644]

Very encouraging....... nice to see someone with a very realistic amount of clutter and i enjoy your honesty about being overwhelmed and not wanting to sort it but doing it anyway. Starting is the hardest bit..... it’s all looking great 👍🏻 Yes I agree some people like owning and using a lot of things. Everyone just needs to find their level of how much is comfortable 💕💕

[@LisaIsabelle]

Girl you look GORGEOUS in red! I would even suggest to go for a brighter one!

[@SanneSpijker]

Flow is such an amazing magazine! I don’t throw them away, I frequently re-read them (take them on holiday or so), exchange them with family and friends or use them for my visionboards!

[@teacatz3]

Love your hair! Excellent job of sorting and decluttering books, papers and notebooks! Perhaps consider adding two or three sturdy shelves on the wall above your DIY table in your office/guest bedroom! And a few of the pretty pink books could sit under the pretty artwork on the night table next to the guest bed! Books are so handy for adding height to artworks and lamps on tables and desks! Can't wait for the next video!

[@jacobscereal1378]

I feel you. As a book lover, decluttering books are a pain but so satisfying when it's done.

[@travelwell6049]

Car boot season has started so that’s a good place to get rid of the decent stuff. Also i tend shove stuff in the loft if I’m not going to need it for and don’t want to rebuy stuff down the line. Thank you!

[@looksleft]

Hermione, I love that you're relaxing a little and bringing just a touch of comedy to what you say and how you edit. It's coming across super relatable and gives you a more chill and confident vibe, which is a delight to watch! I hope this doesn't come across as condescending cause that's definitely not my intention, I just wanted to say I noticed and I think you're doing an awesome job

Loving the new hair colour. My stationery & craft collection is huuuuuge! I have a craft shed which needs a good sort out this spring. Will have to be ruthless 😬 I am currently taking a leaf out of your book and organising and decluttering my life & home. I did my 11 year old daughter’s room last weekend and she was brilliant at getting rid of stuff. I was very impressed. Looking forward to more of your great videos xx

[@notyourtypicalgranny]

That is nothing, i would not call that a big pile at all, I have moved 23 times in 23 years and have more than that by far. Stationery is one of the things i love the most. I am neither a horder or minimilist, i just keep what I love. Don't be so hard on yourself, who says how many notebooks you should have, or books. Just do what is right for you.

[@mp6275]

Auburn looks very ethereal on you, like a mermaid. You've inspired me to declutter my own dreaded stationary and papers mess. You're killin' it, Hermione! Keep up the good work with your content. Your editing is fantastic as well.

I'm also a notebook collector. It's a secret obsession ... You have so many nice things. I like the colors and the patterns ...

I LOVE watching these! I cleaned my bedroom using your techniques in the first video, and I will definitely incorporate some of these ideas whilst organizing my bedroom now! Please keep videos like these coming, Hermione!

[@Kafers]

Hermione, these videos are literally giving me life. My boyfriend and I have just bought a house together; we've only lived in it for 2 months and I still feel like it's a construction site full of boxes. So glad I'm not alone 😂 all your videos make me feel like hope is at the end of the tunnel!

[@insertbookpunhere]

We're so obsessed with minimalism these days but the truth is some people's lives don't really facilitate that. So yay for parting with things you don't want or need and keeping the rest!

[@blaireshoe8738]

You mentioned feeling deflated that you were keeping so many new notebooks, things you would have to buy again in future if you decluttered purely because you're not using them immediately, and that made you feel like you weren't being "minimal enough", but think of it this way- you are blessed with the space to store these things you will be using later on, so you won't have to buy them as often!

[@kaz6655]

Your de cluttering is inspiring me I have 5 days off work next week and am using them to de clutter and try to sort my house out. I moved in last June and still have boxes that I haven’t opened so I obviously don’t need what’s in them but I will go through them and be tough lol thank you

Lol On one hand I am so proud of you. On the other I am like “ omg she is a hoarder”. Overall I think it’s great and I think you are inspiring other people to organize and declutter!

[@LiterarySnob]

Your new color is beautiful!! Ok, we have the same hoarding issues. PAPER!! I have been taking my books and textbooks to our public library to sell for programs they host. First time I carried 5 big bags (like you used to carry stuff home in) to donate. I'm going to do it again this year!! I have 6 bookcases in a very small 640 square foot apartment!! I even have had a bookcase in the bathroom!! Yea, not a great idea, one would never need to leave.

I loved the floral pencil case in the drawer!

[@brontosaurus1769]

You’re adorable! Thank you for keeping your videos real - it’s refreshing. As a fellow stationery enthusiast I am envious of your gorgeous collection! Don’t beat yourself up about getting rid of stuff. I know there is a trend for minimalism/decluttering/KonMari at the moment, however, if it’s stuff that makes you happy, and you can house it, and, as you said, consumables, then I see no harm in holding onto it. Oh, and that isn’t a lot of books! ;) PS - your hair looks amazing!

Marie Kondo's method isn't about being minimalist. It's about utilizing your space/stuff to the best of its ability and appreciating what you DO have. It's a shame so many people don't seem to understand that. Keep what you use and what makes you happy. But, congrats on your declutter!
