For the dentist bag, you can tell them " I don't need a bag" and just stick the toothbrush and paste in your purse. saves another bag from the landfill. The junk mail no mail list takes a couple of months to kick in because businesses prepare mailings months in advance. just give it time.

[@KS-un3pi]

I need to do this...stick it in my giant bag...toothbrush, paste and floss picks...keep that chapstick! Lol

[@denisemarie6131]

This is true! I actually found a use for my dental bags. I tie two onto each of the handles of my hamper. In these bags go my used makeup remover rounds so the oil and grime does not mix with the clothes in the hamper. During the wash and dry cycles, I place the rounds in a separate delicates mesh bag for safe keeping or else they cling to things! Then I just change them out as needed.

[@Cali_Flowers]

Good idea! Probably wouldn’t work at my particular dentist, though. They preassemble the bags and would just throw it away if I rejected it! If only they made them out of biodegradable materials we could feel better about 🪥

[@tgayer1]

Well done! Who DOESN’T have a mess after Christmas? But you didn’t use that as an excuse to let it stay that way, and that’s awesome and inspiring!

[@dw5593]

Inside my mailbox, I taped a small note that reads "No Junk Mail -- Thank you". It has reduced my junk mail by about 75%. It's worth a try!

[@PhanglyPhish]

I just got in the habit of going through mail as soon as it came in. I set most bills and statements to be paperless and autopay and then put a small shredder right by the drop zone when I walk in the door so I could shred obvious junk right away. Stuff doesn't necessarily get dealt with immediately (unless it is a bill that can't be on autopay), but at least there is no junk! You go girl. I am not diagnosed with ADHD, but I strongly relate to many ADHD symptoms that cross over with severe depression (which I am diagnosed with). Darn those chemical imbalances. You are such an inspiration, Miss Heart!

[@ahoardersheart]

Thank you so much for your advice!! I do need to make it a subconscious habit for myself….when I’m not in hyper focus and my mind just races, anything that gets done is bc I’m on autopilot. So that is one strategy I’m looking into!! And yes, those darn chemical imbalances 😅 Thank you so much for being my friend 🦄💜🌟🙏🏻

[@fianorian]

It always surprises me how little time it takes to declutter, when I actually just bite the bullet and stop procrastinating.

[@lalahdz9553]

Cant wait to see you remove the Christmas decor. Could even declutter more of your christmas bins as you can see what was used and is still your favorites!

[@0313monicajo0313]

The stock market ticket mind is totally me!!😂😂

[@MrsRoy-fm3sh]

I find you so relatable! I had no idea so many of my tendencies had names. Your content helps me feel less alone and feel hopeful that I can make progress. ❤ Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@goldfishsnake]

Seems like your loved ones were super supportive by giving you mostly consumables this year! I'd love to see a kitchen declutter and pantry update :D When you find candy I always think you could put candy/sweets on the "no buy" list for your monthly no spend challenge, because it always seems to go forgotten in your house :D

[@elizabethwagner7880]

I think it’s cool that you’ve learned a personal hack for yourself that making a video helps you hyper focus on cleaning/decluttering!

[@heatherwieler726]

Hi Miss Heart - here in Alberta Canada - you can put a label on your mailbox saying - no unaddressed mail please check with your postal service - also take a few minutes and unsubscribe to any addressed junk mail including company catalogues etc - almost all companies have a website and use the contact form to send them an email to unsubscribe from any mailers. Its amazing how much junk mail you can get rid of ! 💜

[@katelynnmcdougall9826]

i love the idea of saving all the gift bags 🛍 to reuse ♻️ i’ve always just given them away lol

[@o0Theresa0o]

I attached a sign that said "no unaddressed mail wanted" onto my mailbox. You can find pre-made ones online. Most postal workers will respect it.

[@judyfarmer2962]

You’re doing great. I love a clean floor. All of my Christmas stuff is up. It took 4 days to clean up. I’m doing a deep clean so it is taking longer.

[@marysusa6985]

great job as always! Love seeing the after.

[@judenebaer9997]

Great job. Seems we all keep the good boxes and bags !! Why not saves money as well as not going to the landfill 🥰

[@josephdaly2015]

Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2022. You nailed that clean up Miss Heart ❤️ well done 👏 Delighted to see you back after all your hard work over Christmas. By Christmas this year you might have a wrapping area in the basement if not a full craft area set up 👍 Stay safe and healthy. Mary, Joes wife 👏👍❤️💐🦄💪🙏

[@teresaryan4956]

Your living room looks great, I love your videos.

[@MyFreshRose]

I have adhd and find not having a dumping spot just doesn’t work. At first I didn’t want one because I would dump stuff there but then not having one I just dumped stuff everywhere else. I realized there are times I’m just not going to put stuff away or busy days. I accepted that and got a basket near the door to dump things. Now I at least know where all my dumped items are and put them away when I make the time.

[@merrivideo]

Thank you for giving us this video to start the 2022. Have an awesome year. This has to be one of the most satisfying videos I have seen. So many things will be reused, correctly stored and organized, cute and useful things to keep, re-gifted things, a small tossy pile where most of the things were actually recyclable and were put in the recycling bin. I knew you were going to be able to clear that space easily but your decision making exceeded my expectations. Thank you for sharing your growth and inspiring us to grow too.

[@PrincestonTheFrenchBulldog]

This is insane glad your cleaning it up

[@carly1478]

Great job 👍👌

[@KelleeYouPersonalOracle]

Awesome job you did so much in one setting! I was almost expecting a part 2 but you've come soo far

[@barbarap6851]

Wonderful job! You have some systems in place that make tidying up easier...it feels great, doesn't it? Happy New Year to you and your family!

[@heczone]

Happy New Year, Regarding mail...the moment it hits my door mat (in the UK we have letterboxes in our front door), I sort my mail...junk..goes straight In the recycle bin... But I do shake it all first as sometimes the postie puts other letters with it! My house got really bad before Xmas...I was struggling with anxiety and depression (still am, but alot better now), as a domestic cleaner and going into people's homes...I do 3 cleans a day...and yeah...mine get done whenever...but I got to the point of running from cough/colds and clients doing urgent PCR test..I had enough as I felt I was running and running and would come home to my house being a MESS.... So quit cleaning for my clients the last 2 weeks before Xmas for 2021...and looking set to return later this month (waiting to see him covid numbers go down, as now alot of clients are working from home...again 😬🤦🏼‍♀️ (makes it harder to social distance and clean) So I've been getting my house back in order again, I now try and get kitchen clean before bed, and have a quick tidy up before bed!... I also got into the habit of not going upstairs or downstairs empty handed and put whatever it is away that I have in my hand! I'm sure I have ADHD/autism, as I know I have some common traits...

[@deborahalana8027]

I have 15min left on my lunch break yesss I'm watching this right now💓 1. I hope you and your family have a blessed 2022, Mrs. Heart! 2. Look and you go!!! You bulldozed your way through the living room and entrance like a champ! Your decluttering muscles are back on 🔝

[@katw6773]

Catalog Choice has stopped 90% of our junk mail but you do have to go through things individually (so like if you want to stop getting Ikea magazines, Target flyers, and fresh direct flyers- you have to search and "unsubscribe" from each one on their website if that makes sense) but it's worth the work

[@coffeelovingqueen4122]

In the Netherlands you can buy stickers to put on your mailbox. ‘Only adressed mail’. Dis this a couple of years ago - it was so liberating!

[@staceyd8397]

I’ve finally got a clean coffee table, now you’ve given me the boost to tackle the table

[@alanbirkner1958]

As soon as the mail comes in, I toss what we don't need. Tina

[@melanietrester]

Hello from Germany, Hi, Miss Heart, good start in to the new year!!!👍👍👍👍🦄🥳, Be safe

[@kellyharris4639]

I’m happy you have a spot for the gift bags and tissue paper now. I am using up my hoard of bags and paper. I bought zero this year and I’m sure I still have enough for next year but now thanks to your 2 years of inspiration, I have a spot I keep it all in, I can see I have plenty and I can find it when I need it.

[@LillieM75]

Omg!!! This is so me and my house!

[@heta4737]

I have ADHD and I have two methods of keeping my home clean: first is a habit to "clean as I go" so whenever I change location in my home I take stuff from the first location that doesn't belong there and take it to to the next. Works well for example with taking dishes from bedroom to kitchen. I think this sounds either weird or obvious to neurotypical people but building this habit has really helped me to clean a bit all the time so that my home won't get super messy to the point where I'm too overwhelmed to clean. The second way of cleaning is to focus on a small area at a time (like you do with your basement!). ❤️ I hope you have a relaxing start to new year ❤️

[@TheCaitling]

One of the best lessons I learned from waiting tables was "never go anywhere empty-handed". It is this exact thing - there is always something that needs to go somewhere else, so always look around and see what you can bring with you!

[@karenstairs8273]

First... You did a wonderful job with your work's foundation to help others in need!!! Second, You did a great job clearing the room and table!! You have done an amazing job of showing that you can reset the Tidy. Nicely Done!!

[@nephfey2605]

You are doing so good!! Christmas does this to alot of people you will get back to it! My daughter has ADHD and ADD you remind me soo much of her

[@fangirl365]

I am currently actively seeking an ADHD diagnosis along with my autism, and there are a bunch of different Tiktok videos that talk about ADHD advice from neurotypical people and ADHD advice from people who actually have ADHD, and there is a big difference. The NT advice basically boils down to “Just do the thing and hold yourself accountable” while the ADHD advice says “Work with the brain you have and make it easier for yourself where you can”.

[@ch-lara2384]

I am sure you will learn how to maintain. It is easier when you have less

[@ahoardersheart]

Absolutely you are right!!! Just from Decluttering over the years, I can clean up a room in one video instead of a 10 Part series!! Lol So we’ll continue the Decluttering path and how I can stay focused on cleaning when not creating a video on it!! Lol

[@rosaliev8942]

Sometimes in the junk mail letters will be in small print how you can get them to stop sending you stuff. Alternately, cross out your adress, write on it "moved, adress unknown", and mail it back. That might get them to take your adress of their list.

[@ritavasnanigurbani6063]

Nice episode

[@adhdwellness9259]

Don't worry! ADHD presents differently in everyone. The two of us who run our channel struggle with different things and different tricks help us, too. Regarding the junk mail, I actually just did a short on that! My solution was to get tough on myself and just recycle it all without even allowing myself to go through it all. Lord knows I can't do it quickly! I'm on a journey of making space for my ADHD and I don't have extra time or energy to be pouring into flyers for fast food and gutter filters. 😆 So if the piece of mail isn't personal in any way, save your time and energy for yourself, your kids, your space. ❤ You aren't missing much! Wishing you the best.

[@EmmieMaria265]

Great job on decluttering & organizing your gift bags . Happy New Year!

[@nadinewilliamson1037]

Great work.

[@kevinhoward7237]

Well done, love the mail basket idea to keep it all together. Does the basket being on the table lead to more things being left around it on the table, clutter attracting more clutter? Was wondering if you have thought about putting the mail basket on top of the cube storage unit, to make it a command centre, or in a wall pocket by the side of the front door to see if it helps to keep the table a little clearer. You are doing a fantastic job, am loving the basement declutter from Emily

[@lalahdz9553]

Can put your basket on the top corner of your cube organizer🥰 you wont have to move it around to sit down and eat or stare at it while your eating. You really been improving!

[@EmmieMaria265]

Tbh for me it didn’t work. The table is the ‘junk stop’ because it is the first place you see. When I put the mail bin on another surface it meant there were two junk stops. :(

[@siameseire]

WOW!! Incredible. You are amazing. And thank you for your kind generous activities on behalf of others. Bless you in this new year and always.

[@jessicacole5955]

Catalog choice. For several months, any time I got a new catalog I would add it. It took a while (can take companies several months to purge their list), but I saw a significant drop in what I get, even during the holidays (and then I just add the them unless I actually want to get them next year). For other stuff, like financial offers, you can always try and call, but it's also based on who you have pre-existing financial relationships with. Ultimately, the real changer is to only 'touch' the mail when it comes it and then it gets recycled or an action choice is made on it. If you are doing a Sunday basket, or even while watching TV at night, you can do the actions from that day/week. It never becomes overwhelming; I actually just got the mail before starting this video and it took me less than a min to deal with (all recycling).

[@goldfishsnake]

catalog choice is great!

[@suem6004]

I think Direct mail services. I think. Post office will tell you. I called the actual catalog numbers and told them to remove me from their mailing list. Took a while now we do not get catalogs and stuff

Great job! Also with your work at the Christmas village! If I may suggest to try to use less plastic bags in the future… keep some reusable bags in the car and take them with you whenever you go into a store, so you don‘t need a plastic one from the store. Here in 🇨🇭we usually have to pay for the plastic bags to reduce trash.

[@TheRoseLensLifestyle]

The only way I found to not get junk mail was putting a "no junk mail" sticker on my mailbox LOL!

[@victorianelson8282]

My favorite thing to do with junk mail is to search for those envelopes inside of them with the postage already paid and to mail it right back to them...I might be guilty of shoving other junk mail in them too.

[@downunderveggiegardendiaries]

I would shift the dining table and chairs into the kitchen and move that cube storage cupboard out of line of site of the front door.

[@fabrichkagreshka2533]

Happy New year! I have an idea for you for next year. Dont put Xmas tree in corner next to door. Try putting kallax shelf vertically (so it takes less space) and putting a tree between it and tv . Maybe put a skinnier tree. That way you wont lose your bench and it will be easier to put stuff on bench then floor. Also you will enjoy tree much more while on couch . You can try it out before getting rid off this years tree

awesome job again. im going to try to organize my wrapping supplies. I wanted to have it done before Christmas but it didn’t happen because of other projects. which is ok. those needed attention too an are complete so now we are gonna tackle that area.

[@bqueen0]

As to junk mail, I signed up for Direct Mail unsubscribe service AND called companies that sent me catalogs, flyers, postcards, etc. When there's no contact info but a postage paid envelope, I write TAKE MY NAME OFF YOUR LISTS on the insert inside that lists my name & address, then mail it back to them. I think this has been the number one thing to reduce my junk mail.

Great job again!! Done so quickly! Get the boys to deal with their Christmas clothes/candy etc on Christmas Day or Boxing Day. Not your job to deal with their gifts anymore.

[@lalahdz9553]

I tell my kids to get their gifts and please put the reusable bags in the tote. The kids can put the recycle up so they form that good habit 🥰 Liked your husband vacuumed.

[@SarahShepz]

I had to sign up for a couple of the no junk websites, the first couple of results tend to be the most popular ones. I also had to make the effort to contact some of the more frequent offenders directly and ask to be removed from mailing lists. You can also put a “no junk mail” sign in your mail box, or “only deliver mail addressed to ____”. But I just always walk past my recycle box on my way back with the mail and I just do a quick sort and dump all junk mail.

[@Madiannereid]

I don’t know if it works this way in the USA, but in Canada if you put a red sticker or X on your mailbox the mailperson won’t leave flyers and unaddressed junk mail.

Or, you could have an organisation bin on the countertop with things to eat/create this month, in case some of them expire soon. xox

[@brendaturner7112]

I am sure your next Christmas will be like this one since you will have so many volunteer activities. What can you do now so future Ms Heart won't have to do this declutter again? Perhaps you can make a space in the basement where you can have a wrapping station so you won't need to bring the wrapping supplies up to the living room.

[@suetock5532]

People should give gifts of restaurant gift cards as that will buy the person an easy meal. Giving gifts in gift bags adds clutter to others lives. Buy a restaurant gift card and mail it to them.

[@lisettehanson1589]

A helpful hint is to have a small paper shredder where you go thru mail and shred the junk mail right away. Hope this helps.

[@melaniefunk693]

I went straight to the post office and asked to not get flyers etc. It doesn't stop all of it but it helps. Otherwise I would suggest looking at what is coming in and try contacting the companies to ask them to stop sending junk mail to you - some you may be able to access online. You did an amazing job on getting it all back into shape :) :) I have a fair amount of Christmas craziness leftovers to clear out - thank you for the motivation :)
