Decluttering has been such a worthwhile journey! I'm wondering if anyone has had similar experiences and how have you coped maintaining the declutter!
@sampsonspadaforeАй бұрын
It’s hard in a capitalist society to maintain a low clutter lifestyle so dont beat yourself up if it’s hard at first. We’re constantly being advertised to and pressured to buy the latest and greatest thing. If you can just become more aware of your spending habits, really take stock of the things you’re getting rid of now, and try to tailor your shopping going forward. If you’re holding onto sentimental things, maybe find a way to display those things or organize them so they’re not taking up a lot of space. It’s okay to hold onto some things 😊

yeah, in theory it's smart and responsible to sell, donate, pass things to friends. in reality, it takes sooo much time, effort and space to keep until it'll finally leave the house. and it feels like no progress in a small apartment cause I've just organized stuff instead of cleaning it out and making actual space. tbh, sometimes it helps to unload oneself from guilt and just throw things away.

What I’ve learnt about decluttering is allowing yourself to have a maybe pile. You don’t have to get rid of everything straight away. For years I had a huge box of old clothes I no longer wear or fit but wasn’t ready to say goodbye. Anyway, long story short, I’ve now got down to one plastic box which gets topped up when I’m ready to let them go. I’m trying to be more thoughtful in what I buy, quality items and filling my home with sentimental items instead of niknaks
@FulanFuranАй бұрын
I love the idea of a 'maybe pile' 😊-I was a bit ruthless with my decluttering, but it’s definitely worth having a grey zone for some items. And I completely get the quality-over-quantity approach when it comes to clothes. I used to be all about fast fashion, but now I focus on the material and longevity of each piece. Thanks for sharing your experience, and all the best! Fran

What an honest approach! This is my second weekend decluttering a totally stuffed utility room. But it's worse than just stuffed. It's been getting damp from the laundry and because it was so cluttered there has been no air circulation and I was too ashamed to open the curtains (people walk right past) so there was mould and frowstiness as well as intense dust that has stuck to everything because the dryer makes the dust and the damp sticks it to things!!! It was horrible in there. But it's getting better. I've hopefully killed the mould with vinegar and will clean the window and surrounding area tomorrow. Then the manky curtains are going into the sack for the tip and I have some pretty window film to provide a bit of privacy but make it look so much nicer for the neighbour who over-looks us. I've been through one large cupboard and sorted it to be the cleaning supplies cupboard forever more (I could not find anything so I bought more and now I have a cleaning supplies shop in my utility). And it's all listed on the back of the doors so that I know where things are and how many of them I have. Now I'm onto a huge cupboard that we treated like a storage unit. 1 shelf is empty. 1 is 2/3 empty now. There's a shelf below and then the bottom area with tool boxes etc. I'm starting Sunday with a tip run to take all the rubbish I have ready. Then I will be finishing that huge cupboard and I hope the area next to it. The car will be packed up for the tip again on Monday morning. Already I have almost all the floor space back. It's wonderful. This is the accumulation of 28 years worth of stuff getting shoved into a big space with doors on it. Bad idea! Won't be keeping stuff like this again. It's been depressing and I didn't even realise it. I've already done a lot of my clothes. Next up will be a large linen cupboard and after that the spare bedroom. OMG! Thank you for the laughs and the inspiration to just keep ploughing through it. Can't wait to get to the washing the walls and floor stage.

@@FulanFuran Yes I believe the name is Widengrens (from what I can see on the video anyway). It looks like a classic label that would be seen in vintage men's clothing in Sweden (and probably elsewhere) with the font and everything. After doing some more digging and detective work, I found that Widengren's business originated in a place called Vingåker in the Swedish region Södermanland in the 1870s. The region was back then apparently well known for its textile industry. Per Widengren seems to have been a bit of a pioneer back in the day as he decided to make clothes that were not tailored. In those days it would have been common for people to go to a tailor and have clothes tailor-made for them. But Widengren decided to make clothes in various sizes that he could stock and sell later (basically what we have now). His business grew and went from a more or less home-based business to a textile factory in the late 1930's. I didn't find any information about Widengren specifically making military clothing but considering his background and the history of his career in the textile industry it would probably make sense. I'm guessing the buttons also have 3 crowns on them 😎 I love the fact that an old military coat from Sweden has ended up in London 😊

Like in the Cat Stevens song: the first cut is the deepest. Yeah, stuff is like problems, you know it's there. Keep the classy coat. It's great. By the way, I love your (British?) accent. And your breaks. So much realistic than these fancy huge house's declutterings. Maybe a narrow shoe rack ? I think Ikea...

Many thanks! I'm surprised how much stuff we can collect - I'm aiming to be better! There's a lot of rewiring of habits. Hope you're well and thanks for the comment! :)

If you can donate your violins to a children in need of them, that would be helpful to them because instruments can be really expensive.

Sir, you are in no position to be giving advice about hoarding when you yourself are a hoarder. GET RID OF YOUR STUFF.
