Thanks for listing this out! 🖤

My wife of 41 years past away three months ago. She was a habitual collector of "antiques and collectable junque". I have been decluttering one contractor garbage bag at a time. I have so far gotten rid of 43 contractor bags of things I do want and do not need. I am nowhere near done and will not stop until I have gotten rid of every non essential item.

[@lelaburris]

I’m so sorry to hear about your wife’s passing. But also very proud of you for taking steps to decrease the extra items you don’t need. That will make space for the things that remind you of her to really shine. ☺️

[@jc9716]

RC I'm so sorry for the loss of your wife!

[@ToonGrin]

Condolences for your loss. May 2024 be a prosperous year for you.

[@bianca4829]

Contractor bags are perfect for decluttering

[@annw1395]

I really like the categories you broke it all up into. Excellent. Makes it feel doable. Your house is already beautifully decluttered.

[@lelaburris]

Thank you! Hope you got some ideas to try. 🖤

[@gardengirl3142]

Lela, I really like your method of 15 minutes daily for 28 days. Really simple & so much more manageable. Thank you for an awesome video!!! ❤

[@lelaburris]

Thank you! So glad you're inspired to give it a try.

[@main2333]

It takes me the whole day just for the kitchen. Guess I’ll just do 15 for each counter

[@smclark280]

I'm wondering, how have I never seen you before - that was an excellent video!! Your home looks amazingly organized and I appreciate you taking us through your decluttering process. Now I;m subscribing!

[@lelaburris]

Thank you so much! I've been blogging and sharing on Instagram since 2014 but I just started KZbin this year. I'm so grateful you've subscribed!

[@Jennifer-nz2ss]

The crystal ball is beautiful!❤

[@lelaburris]

Thank you!! Every year for Halloween we do a big fortune teller tent for trick or treaters to go through and the crystal ball is always a big hit. 🙌🏼

[@refinedsimplicity8420]

What a great video ! Got some good ideas to try. Like you, I don’t have a junk drawer but I do a utility drawer where I keep a mix of items such as the pizza cutter, rice paddle, scissors, flashlight etc. By calling it a utility drawer and not a junk drawer, it helps me avoid just tossing stuff in lol.

[@lelaburris]

Ahhh so happy to hear that! You’re right, calling it a utility drawer totally shifts how you think of it and it stays more tidy that way. Love that!

[@dimples7162]

In the future you could donate that diffuser ( the think in the plastic that belong to your hair dryer.) And curly girl would love that

[@lelaburris]

Great idea!

[@rebeccalohnes4016]

I don't have a junk drawer. I hate them! I've been decluttering since the beginning of the year and I can't believe how much I've gotten rid of. It feels great!

[@lelaburris]

That’s awesome! So glad to hear that you’re making progress!

[@sofiama9249]

I have to say thank you so much for this video it’s exactly what I need ; I already organized six drawers in my house I feel so good ‘ I’m not doing it in order but at least I’m doing it every day so easy . It doesn’t make me tired or bored bc it’s just little every day - tomorrow I’m doing my night stand😊. Love your videos

[@lelaburris]

Ahhh that is so great to hear! So proud of you!

[@saramulhern1982]

Love how you have made it a lot more easier than one big job.👌

[@lelaburris]

So glad it helps!

[@ChristinaBellaVita]

The Nars lipstick can be sharpened! Still had a full pencil 😢

[@Sophie-kn3gh]

Love declutters!

[@mugdhapp]

Coconut oil as far as I know doesn’t expire. These are just made up dates by the food industry to get to throw away products. We use it to moisturize hair or as body lotion, great for those if you are not going to use it for cooking

[@lelaburris]

Oh that’s a great tip! Thanks!

[@kellygaudet2281]

Feels good to purge. I've been loving it❤

[@lelaburris]

So glad to hear that Kelly! Now is the perfect time, too. 🙌🏼

[@lovinglife3954]

Great video. Note that expiration dates are sometimes meaningless. Coconut oil is considered an almost forever food.

[@lelaburris]

Oh that’s a great tip! Thank you!

[@sarahmacpherson3848]

Great video! But nail polish and other toiletries like aerosols need to go to toxic waste, and should not go in your regular garbage. I like to keep a small box for hazardous items when im decluttering and then take this to the drop off centre when done my full month of decluttering. Recent tip i found out is that you can also safely dispose of over the counter and prescription medications that are expired or you no longer use by dropping them off at a local pharmacy!

[@Jennifr1966]

I'm loving that some of these things, like gift wrap and DVDs, I decided to rid completely, so I used the time to move on to the next! Still waiting to find out why not to organize yet.

[@lelaburris]

That’s awesome! The less you own, the less you have to keep tidy. 🙌🏼

[@paulavandieden8609]

i can take care of that day 22 bottom drawer item for you!❤ 🐈‍⬛ Seems a very logical -- and useful -- way to tackle things.

[@bamack49]

Great video. Thank you

[@lelaburris]

Thank you so much!

[@JannieMac]

Excellent video!

[@lelaburris]

Thank you very much!

[@sharenread8677]

Clean the lint out of your dryer every day! Fire Hazard. Sharen

[@SimplyBeautiful516]

I like the idea of tackling small areas each day. It works well for my schedule and brain power. If the gift bag itself is still usable, we just place another sticker on top of the old one and keep going!!

[@lelaburris]

That's a great idea!

[@brinawidmer]

I don't think I'd fit in my house anymore with all your things 🙈 I used to be one of those people buying a billion containers to organize her clutter, now I'm limiting the storage space I have - if doesn't fit I have to declutter not find new ways to store more stuff. You have alot of categories in there I don't even own anymore 🙈.

[@taliarichmond4008]

Omg just put a free box outside with these items! Landfill full of things that others are buying is messed up!

[@lelaburris]

Love that idea!

[@TeriSewell]

Mateless socks😢

[@annae7102]

👍

[@Kristily1]

Great motivation! But, please make sure to recycle, don't just throw everything in the trash! Very bad for the environment. All the stuff you declutter need to be taken to the recycling station and sorted in plastic, wood, toxic waste, paper etc.

[@lelaburris]

Great tips! Thanks for adding that!

[@helpmetosleep]

If it stops someone from decluttering, just remember at some point it probably will all be trash. Don't let doing it "right" stop you from getting a house you can breathe in

[@Tani0415]

Waaaaay too much work. Just chuck.

[@SimplyBeautiful516]

You can always use a lip brush with the Nars lipstick. There was at least another 6 months worth on that ! 🫢

[@dbw825]

Check online about makeup expiration dates. They are shorter than you think😊

[@SimplyBeautiful516]

@@dbw825 Oh great tip! Thank you! 🙂

[@Betan.1969]

That's right. I use a lip brush to get product before sharpening, to not loose it. Nars lip pencils are my favourites. About expire time, I have some of them years ago and they are perfect

[@k.6160]

This is so helpful. I think your approach is really smart. We'll see how it goes!!! Thanks 😊

[@lelaburris]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@denisemiller8474]

How do I haul everything off . I don’t have donation centers near and it would take hundreds of loads with my truck. No one will pick it up. Tried to have a garage sale put had no help or space .

[@lelaburris]

Do a search on Facebook for a local buy-nothing group. You can post a picture of all the items in a box plus a quick description of some things included. People will take the whole box within a day or two. And this way you know they're going to be used by someone since donation centers throw away more than half of the things they receive.

[@darlenegreen1089]

I love this video!it puts everything into perspective. I think I just have separation anxiety. Because about the time I get rid of one craft items, Guaranteed i'm going to be needing it in the next month. LOL

[@lelaburris]

Totally get that. And sometimes you will get rid of something you need later, but you just have to accept that your home isn’t a storage building so it’s ok to have less. A lot of times you can find another item you have that can be used instead, and if you have to rebuy, try buying a smaller portion or size so you don’t have as much leftover. 🙂 hope that helps!

[@saramulhern1982]

I don't have half of them things 😅

[@MsPepper0421]

Where can I find the sliding trays you have in your bathroom, etc?? You are really organized! Do you live in my area? LOL I could use some (a lot of help!!)

[@melissasturgis]

When I declutter, I like to do the whole room because I don't have to do any more decluttering the next day. It may take me at least two hours to declutter the whole room, but, it makes me feel so good doing it at that time because I can give it to who ever want it and donate the rest to a thrift store.

[@lelaburris]

That’s awesome! Love a good all day Declutter session too. 🥰

[@camillecarey3328]

Great video

[@lelaburris]

Thank you! 🖤

[@k4xxxminecrafter792]

I really like this- it got me started when the big task was too much to think about.

[@lelaburris]

So glad it helps!
