Hoarders ❤️ Declutter the Hoarded Basement Part 17! Decision Making Fatigue & Decluttering Muscles

[@marysusa6985]

Your voice is so much lighter, so happy to hear it that way.

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe!! You know what...it does!!! That’s because I truly can be myself now...there’s nothing to hide!! But I had to retake that cameo of me like 25 times 🤣🤣 I kept laughing at myself...it’s going to take time seeing myself on camera!!!

[@sojourningmimi]

The encyclopedia yearbooks : they will sell on Ebay or marketplace if you market them as "great birthday gift" for people born in that year. I sold 8 of them that way for $20 each, and they weren't still brand new. You are so inspiring! Thank you for sharing your journey to help us along in ours!

[@blaireshoe8738]

This is a great idea!

[@NoodlePoodle1234]

Perfect analogy in the beginning!! Makes total sense!

[@textnyc]

Amazing progress!! I always thought I understood decision fatigue, but your comparison with lifting different-sized weights really added another level of understanding for me. 🤯 Thank you for that!

[@cassandraknight8804]

Its so much better seeing your face, you have a lovely smile.... and it makes it so much mor relatable for me ❤️

[@withyoctopus]

I love how baby stuff is sentimental for you. You really seem to love being a mum. It seems you enjoyed the time with the little ones! And your kids will treasure that time aswell. It's so important to be loved as a child and not every child has that.

[@AStrumxo]

I am proud of you. ❤️ Amazing progress.

[@susanlee9775]

I’m so glad that you are showing your beautiful face. ❤️❤️❤️

[@faithdijkema6785]

So happy to see you today ♡

[@christhompson7558]

Yes, keep flexing those purge muscles, sister! When that small basement section gets cleared out, maybe you can store and organize all your craft items there, after you do the big Konmari declutter (which so many of us can't wait to see).

[@ahoardersheart]

Oh yesss, great idea!! That Konmari video on the crafts will prolly be a 4-5 part series...I think I’m going to look like a Hobby Lobby when I have it all out!! Lol

[@emanzahran2772]

Hhhhhhhh yeeea hobby lobby

[@beckysmith2346]

That’s my big struggle is craft supplies. I keep stuff I’ll probably never ever use “just in case”.

[@itoshiibaka8267]

When you do your crafting Konmari, you should do a positive mantra like you did a long time ago! "I am strong and great at decluttering." "I am choosing what to bring forward with me in life." "I am rehoming things that can be better used by someone else." "I am choosing my favourites so that I can have even more fun with my crafting." ☺

[@savannahbanks]

This one reminds me of when you began each video with the sunglasses and energetic voice! You are so much more confident now! Love you!

[@helenascribe210]

I've been binge watching your videos and I am so impressed that you've been able to continue on this journey.

[@elizabethradler9533]

You are doing such a GREAT job!!!! I am a Professional Organizer. Your honesty gives me great insight into my cleints thinking. Which is very helpful to me🙂 Thank you so much. God bless💗

[@jenniferr-f3157]

Good on you! You’re right, your kitty would not want you to feel burdened by old stuff - do what makes you happy!!!

[@hwasul5203]

You are getting faster and braver!!!

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so so much!!!

[@rachelselby5469]

I can already see empty storage boxes at the back of that section. And the bike and the chest of drawers are big items taking up much of the space. I can't wait until you get there.

[@jessiec1194]

Decluttering muscle. I like that!

[@Anberel]

The more space you open up, the more excited I am for what you can do with this space when it’s not just for storage. You really need a craft space!

[@EleanorWard]

Amazing job today. Especially the cat tower! You should be so proud ❤️❤️

[@andrewbrendan1579]

I have an unusual encyclopedia story: In the university town where I live I worked for years for the Red Cross Book Fair. As computers became more a part of life we stopped selling encyclopedias. On one occasion in our donations was a set of 1950's encyclopedias from Russia. I figured they were full of lies and of no interest to customers. Someone walked into the Red Cross chapter house, saw the Russian encyclopedias and offered $500 for them! Sold!---However with "regular" encyclopedias, maybe try them on one occasion at most in a yard or garage sale and if they don't sell, just donate them for recycling. They would bring in so little money that it's probably not worth trying to sell. If you have OLD leatherbound encyclopedias someone may want them because they would look good for decor.

[@elisamaurerbailey2787]

You look great glad you felt ok enough to show yourself to the world very brave of you!

[@mossyoakmom8880]

Good for you for letting the cat scratcher go! I know it was hard, I feel the same way about things like that but you will feel better without the clutter. Also great getting rid of the rest of the pile too🤗

[@larajohnson8656]

I cried for both of us when you talked about Bubba’s kitty cubby. My cat died in 2018 and she never left my heart. I validate my feelings by having her beautiful kitty face as my phone background. I thought I would never be able to love another cat, but then I realized that by hoarding my feelings of her, I was denying myself the experience of loving another furry sweetheart. I’m reminded that “love isn’t love until you give it away” and I chose to give the love I have to a new kitten. I guess what I’m trying to say is, when I really immersed myself into my feelings rather than memorializing my feelings with the monument of an object, it was much easier to let go of the objects.

[@makennalee2414]

For the crochet, my local cat shelter uses them for the cats when they get adopted they go with them in the carrier as a little blankets! I used to volunteer at the shelter and I’m not sure if other shelters would also use them but it’s something to look into 💓Love your videos!

[@aliciacassio4215]

Super proud of you parting with the cat house. Good job. You’ll always remember Bubba. Good day.

[@sarabenson435]

Now we get to tell you how great you look in your outfits too! Hehe because that colored top is adorable and looks so good on you! 😁 Decision fatigue is a real thing even for a minimalist like myself! That's kinda why I am a minimalist! I'm investing time now so I don't have to daily do-overs. It's not easy. Many of you beautiful KZbinrs mention, "clutter is put off decisions." So true, but we can overcome it! God bless Mr. and Mrs. Heart and boys! 😁😍

[@minimalzebra]

You did well friend 🥰

[@AtoZenLife]

That moment when you looked at the camera and started laughing cracked me up. 🤣 I literally just found you so this was a fast experience for me! Are you selling your clutter too?

[@ahoardersheart]

Marissa: Squirrels of a Feather lol!!! Yes, I am selling my Declutter too!! Since you are the first person to leave a comment on this video...that means “You’re the Unicorn of the Day!!” 💜🦄💜🦄💜 (A little thing I do bc I still love unicorns!!! )

[@AtoZenLife]

@A Hoarder's Heart Awesome on both counts! I love selling clutter AND unicorns! 🦄 A girl at the playground told my son it was weird for boys to like unicorns, so I made him a unicorn birthday cake. 🤪

[@ahoardersheart]

Lol!!! Yay we have a lot in common 💜🦄💜 And your son can absolutely like unicorns!! I bet that cake looked amazing!!!

[@eavening4149]

@@AtoZenLife, My nephew was telling me all the boys and girls in his class like unicorns...it's now universal. Interesting and different from when there was a dual standard (back in my day... LOL!) The kids are bringing about a new equality between boys and girls. 😊😊😊🦄

Fantastic video Ms. Heart. I'm loving seeing you in the flesh. Your happy, smiling face really suits your personality - don't separate them again, they belong together! Loving your enthusiasm still and looking forward to your next video. Best wishes to you as always from Linda, in Norfolk, England xxx

The crocheted would be good at an assisted living where they have their own apartments or a senior center.

[@corielake828]

Assisted living usually doesn't have kitchens in their apartments.I think you are thinking of senior living/retirement apartments. But, I love the pot holders. I think they have potential as an eBay sale. Retro and macrame are in. But don't think about it too much and make it a chore to list it; Its okay to donate to goodwill with your other things

[@ahoardersheart]

Such a wonderful idea!!! Thank you for sharing ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@littlemouse9900]

I'd try and sell the encyclopedias and if it doesn't sell in a certain amount of time you get rid of them. I agree with donating the crochet pot holders to the old folks homes.

[@sharjo52]

Great job!!! Pictures of your childhood cat is the best way to remember 🐱

[@heatherroberson8981]

RoselikescrochetB is doing a yearlong donation event for a domestic violence organization. Those items would be great for her event! Also, you have pictures of your cat, if you’ll be donating his scratching post, another cat can love it. You don’t need that to remember him.

[@barbarap6851]

Great job again, Ms. Heart! I knew that section would go fast for you. I LOVE the picture of your kitties...so sweet. When you have your crafting/journaling area set up you can put a photo of them in it. I am hoping as you get that back area cleared out that you can push your craft bins over to the corner. This will clear out some of the center area. Keep up your great work...woo hoo!

[@ahoardersheart]

That’s a wonderful idea!!! I’ll have a picture of them there!! You’re such a good friend, thank you 💜🦄💜

[@megan2176]

I love that you ask for advice from your viewers about what to do with certain things! Maybe you could share in a video all the good ideas people have given you... I'm curious what people say about those crocheted things. :)

[@3boymama]

You're right! It is an adjustment not seeing the sunglasses & mask. I can't wait to see the day when all the VHS tapes disappear. They don't even make the players anymore. Lol. Keep going. Maybe put the Brittanica books for sale after finding their value online. And don't open the box.

[@denisemarie6131]

@brown bird Is it that today people don't have movies on hand but rather watch them through paid subscriptions on smart tvs? I have many video tapes. So far they have held up well. They are kept in a cool, dry area so maybe that helps. I never liked DVDs because they seemed to scratch too easily.

[@camillej3096]

Hi honey, that's my first comment in about 2years I'm following your channel, I just wanted to let à comment about the kitty thingy. I do understand that it is very emotional for you to let it go because obviously you loved your cat deeply, but honestly if that cat house makes you mourn it again, it's better out... I mean, Im old enough to have seen many pets die, but I don't feel 'sad' about it, nostalgic for sure, but id rather remember the good moments than the last you see? I guess because you were a hoarder you kind of focused on the past and the loss you've faced, but as you said, that won't bring kitty back and you'd only feel sad. Remenber your pet as a friendly companion and dear sibling, all the thing you've done together and the love between you. I see you've changed perspectives a lot this past few months and even years really, though now it seems you're growing immensively quicker, you've accomplished a big step, I know its daunting but I sincerely think its the best decision. That kitty bed does not represent anything in itself, it's a memory but unfortunately it does not bring you joy so... Bye. And for sure kitty does not mind. Pretty sure she has a better one where she is now 😉 keep being strong. You rock girl!

[@ahoardersheart]

Oh my goodness, yes thank you so so much ❤️🙏🏻❤️ I do hold onto to the past...almost too much that I miss the present!! It’s definitely something I’m working on!! I needed to read this! My Bubba was the best cat in the world 😺

[@christinabo63]

@@ahoardersheart also the cat bed isn't the only thing you have left of your cat: you have your memories. Maybe a scrapbook of him can go on your crafty to-do-list. Or something that represents him, so you get the warm fuzzy feeling of happy memories of your cat 🐱 I adopted two fur babies six days ago and boy, they/we already create so many happy memories and I'm laughing more than usual, because they are hilarious and so cute 😍 Please don't hold onto something that brings you sad memories.

[@jenniferr-f3157]

Literally, your basement decluttering episodes are my favourite show right now! 😂

[@lifesagame2006]

The Santa Claus the movie book. I didn’t even know that existed! That’s my favourite movie to watch every year but not many people I know have heard of it before they watch it with me 😂 Another great declutter, it’s best to stop when you get to something like that that brings up so many emotions. I have to have a sit down with a hot drink and a comfort movie or tv show, relax and de-stress a bit before attempting more on another day.

[@jessicagoodwin3408]

Ohhhh sweet Valley high!!!! That brought me back for sure lol 😂

[@ahoardersheart]

Right!!! I loved those books!!!

[@alicequinn5194]

Well done on another great video! Your piles are just getting bigger and bigger ☺️ I can’t wait till we are on video basement declutter 100 and you can tally up how much of your basement was empty boxes and how much stuff you’ve rediscovered and can now cherish from this process xx

[@keely82]

I am so proud of you! Like others have said, you sound so much lighter and I think it’s transferring over to your decluttering as well! The tossy tossies and items to give away seem like they are becoming lighter decisions for you as you build that decision making muscle! Amazing miss heart ☺️ keep it up! ❤️

[@PTEC]

My Gahhhhhhh. I have lots of old pet stuff that only takes up space and justify keeping it around “in their memory,” but My God when you explained that keeping it won’t bring em back and just knowing there are so many better and more productive ways to keep the memories and feelings of them around really helped me to get over these kinds of things. I’m working towards getting over these memory-based emotional attachments and this is helping me a lot. Keeping or getting rid of memorable items won’t alter my memories, and sometimes there’s just no use for em.

[@ct3658]

I'm so proud of you! Little by little, you are creating a clean and spacious environment!

[@rebelsthrnbelle7]

Ahhhh I LOVE those teal and hot pink pot holders!!! But I donate most of my items to our local saafe house bc they are a nonprofit and anything they sell goes back to helping victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. So see if you have a group like that near you!

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe, that is such a good idea...I’m so happy you donate to those charities!! You know what, if you feel comfortable...you can email your shipping address and I can mail you the pot holder! My email is [e-mail]! Totally up to you ❤️

[@rebelsthrnbelle7]

A Hoarder's Heart really?! That would be awesome! And yes we have that one and a church resale shop that uses the money for the needy in the community. I try to give to both of those before good will and such.

[@fieldfarmer777]

i admit that i teared up when you got rid of that cat hut. i understand your feelings completely. i’m cleaning out my childhood room and i found clothing of my old dogs that have passed and my cat’s whiskers. luckily my cat is still alive, but finding the dogs clothes made me cry and that was it for the day. i also can’t even imagine getting rid of the pillow that my dog loved even though it’s covered in grime and mildew (he died tragically and it was very traumatic). i cant even bear to think about parting with my last pieces of them. i’m so proud of you for being able to do that. you’ve gotten so strong ❤️❤️

[@zoeb3634]

Definitely sell the encyclopaedia books. Your sweet valley high books brought a tear to my eye because I used to read them in the eighties even though I live in the UK. I remember when "the new Jessica" book came out 😭 Showing my age, another American author I love Judy Blume 💖 P.S I've still got my cats basket. I've put it in the garden over her final resting place with flowers growing in it ❤❤❤

[@designedlife2984]

Another amazing job! 💯I can really empathize on how hard the kitty bed was to declutter. But it's not the memory you're letting go of. That will always be in your mind and 💓. And that's the obstacle for anyone in over coming sentimental items/ attachment. You aren't letting go of your love, or memory of your fur baby, loved one, happy memory of a certain time, age, or that of your children either. Those will remain after an item is physically gone. Baby clothes were hard for Me as well. But I kept a few extra special ones from favorite photos, in My son's "baby keepsake box". I donated the rest to help another Momma and her child, just as you do with the sharing table. That fills the heart so much better. When in doubt, I took photos of sentimental items and found the photo works to spark the memory or feeling I was (literally) "holding on to." I now have a nice "digital memory library" and it takes up way less space and I don't have to worry about managing or keeping the item from decay. I will admit seeing your sweet Kitty's photo at the end brought a year to My eye thinking of how much he meant to You. You took a major stride in healing, moving forward, and still honoring his memory. Hugs.🐈💗💗

[@biadoras]

Someone mentioned donating the crocheted squares to maternity wards and that sounds great. There are also charities that do crochet blankets and maybe ome of those might want them to use in making blankets? (The one I heard of makes custom themed squared for young kids with cancer, but still.) Good work!

[@susanwhaley370]

Lovely emotional word picture. It helped me understand your process. For the losses in my life I have always planted a tree. I wanted to have something good come from something sad, for me, trees bless most things on this planet. Maggie magnolia brings you a lot of joy in spring.

I love all my past pets and something I started doing years ago was to write everything about each pet that has passed away and filed it. For instance I had a goldfish for 10 years named frisky. My cat would drink out of his fishbowl every day and they were friends! I understand it being difficult but great job in letting go!

[@LynnStAubin-od5qe]

There’s that beautiful face! You have grown sooo much stronger. I really enjoyed seeing your books. I’m too old to have owned them, but I remember spending a lot on them for my daughters. They had a “babysitters “ club and it was only a book club. None of them babysat. My last dog has been gone three years. I still have his American Kennel Club papers. Might be time to “tossy tossy”. Thanks for your sharing.

Any children books(clean ones!) and school/office supplies I would donate to a local teacher. They are having a hard time stocking up for their classes with all the craziness. Mostly in the cleaning supplies area but the less they have to spend on books and pencils and art supplies the more they can spend on wipes and hand sanitizer.

What Marie Kondo suggests really does help: thank the scratching post house for serving Bubba so well, for keeping his nails healthy, and for being a good safe & cozy space for his hide-and-seek games and his cat naps. ❤🐈😽 Edit: Maybe an animal rescue or foster would like it. You can check local animal shelter and also fb groups. In my city there are a few official animal rescue orgs that are very active on fb, and supplies for foster kitties are always appreciated!

It is not the last thing you have of your cat. It may be a thought and emotion connected to it while you declutter the item, but it is definitely not the last thing you have of her. You have the good memories, the nice feeling in your heart when you think of her (those remain, no matter what). And, you have at least one pretty picture (the one you shared with us at the end).

nursing homes cant use hot pads. Residents dont have any cooking means in their rooms. Church groups that do basket raffles, or retirement communities could use them. My dad lives in one and they actually have a "share" table in their community room. I take stuff and place on the table.

[@jeannebowes2898]

After watching Erica Lucas( a new fan of hers). I am reminded of how little we really need. This will be my new focus. Using self care, medicines, sleep , cook, property and garden maintenance as my basic categories. The prop and garden items will be sold in an estate sale after the house sale. I am going to choose items to keep as if a move is imminent rather than an eventuality . I will try to focus on more sales of furniture.

[@iheartplzzbmine]

Since they’re pot holders, maybe see if there’s an organization that helps people that are starting over in life and have just moved into their first home or apartment after being homeless?

[@denisemarie6131]

Awww, Bubba Cat. Beautiful silver fur. A local library of mine has a selling table to raise money. I was able to give them many of my items to sell, especially the more fragile pieces that I was afraid might get broken when being donated to other sites. However, when I would go to the library, I would aim to keep my eyes away from the selling table because seeing my things hurt....like waving bon voyage over and over again to a friend sailing away in their ship. It's funny though because I think all got sold expect for one candy dish, and then I felt bad for it! Oh the Hoarding Mind is a mysterious entanglement of thoughts and emotions.

[@Alex-dz2et]

That’s a great analogy for decision fatigue. Really understandable.

[@JessieBenson93]

You could always keep a couple of the really cute crochet pot holders for gifting this holiday season, they could be added with other little things as a nice bundle ♥️ also I don't know if an animal shelter would take it, but that might be a nice place for Buba's nest to go (or a friend with a cat of course) xox great video!
