EXTREME DECLUTTER 2020 QUARANTINE EDITION │ tidying up with Marie Kondo & the Konmari method

I attempted to do an EXTREME DECLUTTER of my childhood room in my parents' house while Denmark was in lock-down and everyone was quarantined. It was hectic and overwhelming and fun.
I used the Konmari method developed by Marie Kondo and I explain the method in this video for anyone interested.
I hope you enjoy this video!
All footage is from March 2020, but it took me 6 months to edit. Lol.
sending you love!
xx Millie.

Your “after” is so bright and airy and calming. I can certainly see how it would contribute to clearer thinking. Congratulations on your achievement,

[@Anywhooo]

I love the background music. Very relaxing and not too loud.

@infinityrose92 thank youuu will do👍😊 it's shocking how much it has owned me instead of me owning itt why? Weeping ... kon mari method has really helped i bought her book because it was the only thing that got me started atleast .... now my house looks like a bomb site but im getting there i think...feels quiet in the places that i managed to sort ie clothes underbeds just general drawer tops...soo scared at the thought of not finishing what i started xx🤲

[@daniellep9251]

Absolutely same here. We have lived in this house for going on 13 yrs have 3 kids. One went off to college but still have 2 younger ones home. I have started this process so many times. Right now my house looks like an episode of hoarders from all my massive piles. We did remove 5 large bags of clothes today but still have soooooo much more to do :(

[@claudiaw9246]

Amazing transformation in such a short time! Following up the question "does this spark joy?" with "is this something I want to bring into my future" is the missing piece from Marie Kondo's advice, I think. That really puts the emphasis on the present and the future, which is the way it ought to be. Great job, thank for the inspiration!!

[@gorefieldluvr6921]

I think Marie kondo doesnt say the future thing because many hoarders hoard things they think will be useable or neseccairy in the future, but the future thinking is very good for those of us who are just messy and have a lot of stuff!!

[@claudiaw9246]

@@gorefieldluvr6921 Yeah, that could be it. Some of the things I own spark joy, but not to the extent that I want to bring them with me into the future. Spending so much time at home this past year has really made me aware of how much I own I neither use or appreciate. I'm also moving in a few months, so that's really lighting a fire under me to really think about each item and whether it's worth taking into the new space. The other question I ask myself is whether it's something I'd buy if I didn't already own it; if the answer is no, then out it goes. At this point, I probably own less than half as much stuff as I did a few years ago, but it still feels like too much!

[@themilliethuesen_]

Claudia, well done for starting the clean out process for your move! That’s amazing ✨ your new space will feel so much lighter and easier to live in, I’m sure!

[@claudiaw9246]

@@themilliethuesen_ Thanks, Millie :-)

[@love-is-love8046]

I've done plenty of decluttering over the past couple of years and am still finding more things to declutter (items that no longer spark joy or are needed anymore). 18:11 - 19.02 I love what you said about is this something I want to bring into my future and yes it's sparks joy but they're a part of an old chapter. I've made a note of what you said as this is something to keep in mind. 😊

[@themilliethuesen_]

yay, I’m so glad you got a takeaway from this video! ✨ that moment was huge for me because it completely changed the way I viewed the process and the things I was choosing to keep and not keep up until that point. And I love what you said about there’s always room for another declutter because I am aching to do another one really soon lol 👏🏼

[@IngridFredriksson]

Wow well done Millie, it was so satisfying to watch! You did a great job decluttering everything!👏

[@themilliethuesen_]

Thanks so much, Ingrid, you angel 💫

[@kerstil.6191]

Hi Millie! I loved your use of that other room, to make it your office/wardrobe :) I'd love to see you working on that other side, where your parents keep their stuff ;) just an idea.

[@themilliethuesen_]

thank you for the suggestion, but I wouldn’t dream of going through their mess. lol. my own is plenty 🤓🤟🏼

[@alanbirkner1958]

I have been a minimalist for many years. Every day, I find more to give away, recycle, or toss. I seldom buy anything new. I enjoy crafts and I get my craft supplies from thrift stores. Tina

[@samanthafilologia]

Amazing transformation in your room and the final thoughts were great! That's that: both our place and things should help us live our life, they aren't meant to drain our time and energy! Congrats!!!!

[@helena23009]

It's amazing, congratulations! This video is so inspiring, thank you! Hugs from Brazil

[@adri-bee1268]

Really nice! While watching I had an idea that you could put your desk in front of the window of the small room to have sunlight and more open space around you while doing desk stuff. My other idea was that you could move your bed to your small room and put a sofa at the back wall where your bed was standing. On the right side of the sofa ypu could you place a small table and a plant and maybe a basket. In front of the window you could put your desk and next to your door your shelf with the books and stuff. I'm not sure if it would fit but that was what came out when I was moving around your furniture in my mind :D

[@paulbaxter1595]

Life is so good after storing my parents in the garden shed ! 😂 I've been a minimalist for just over 20 years. I wouldn't be without my kindle tho. The only real books i have is my Bible and prayer book. Everything i own fits in my backpack. I use a sleeping bag and liner for sleep and sitting. The best thing is if i want to move i up and go as and when i want. I'm not tied to any one location. I think you did an awesome job and you should be proud of yourself. Well done young lady 👍

[@themilliethuesen_]

That sounds absolutely amazing! Books would definitely be hard for me to let go of completely - I’ve always been a massive bookworm and they bring me so much joy 💛 I love the idea of living fully out of a backpack though and not needing more than that - that is my ultimate goal for a chapter of my life that I will be writing sometime in the future 🙏🏼👏🏼

[@paulbaxter1595]

@@themilliethuesen_ Books are so essential especially at this time with covid19. I live in france and you'll probably know that Macron decided books are non essential. Nobody is perfect i guess. I was homeless for 8 years which is why i learned to live with so little. And on the essential items to help me survive. You go make ya dreams come true and never give up. Stay safe 👍

[@ravenstormchild6491]

Every time I go through my clutter, I find more and more that I am willing to part with...

[@skyecalame-pennington5932]

Thank you so much for posting this video- I just moved into an apartment a few months ago with my mom after some pretty big life changes which really affected my mental health... sifting through all the memories of my childhood and focusing on my future has been messy, stressful, and extremely exhausting (especially with the insanity of 2020, where so much is uncertain). I’m inspired to declutter again, since even though I parted ways with a fair amount of my clothes before moving out of my childhood home, I know there’s much more to be looked through. You’ve inspired me to focus inwardly on the things which spark joy in my life versus the things I no longer need or benefit from. I want to hold onto my optimism and hope, and you’ve helped me gain the confidence to let go of negativity. (You’ve also inspired me to purchase a tapestry for my new bedroom! 🥰) Thanks again!

[@themilliethuesen_]

Amazing, Emma. Thank you so much for this lovely comment 💛 it can be hard to go through this process, but focusing inwards will definitely help you detach from a lot of the items in your life that no longer spark joy or are necessary to where you want to go in life ✨ wishing you the best!

It’s a huge project, especially if you’re decluttering an entire house. Start small, go category by category and don’t worry about any of the categories you’re not currently going through because that can be a bit overwhelming 🤍 I also really recommend watching the Netflix show Tidying up with Marie Kondo if you want to see full-house declutters. That show really helped me get ready to take on this task ✨ good luck decluttering!

[@themilliethuesen_]

Hey. I’m saying this with love in my heart only, but please reconsider if it’s constructive or necessary to leave comments like that on other people’s videos in the future - even when it’s coming from a place of love and concern, it never ever feels good to receive a comment like that. You essentially just told me that I have a flaw that needs fixing, and it’s not your job to be the judge of that. Another person’s skin, body and health is never your business. Just like you wouldn’t leave a comment stating that someone is overweight, commenting on another person’s skin without any idea of what their life + lifestyle looks like is kind of ignorant. And also, I’ve been vegan for over 5 years, so if you’re concerned about my dairy consumption: no need. Sending you good vibes.
