[@HollieForrest]

I love to see people declutter their closets!

[@makeupbymichelleeicher5176]

Holly I would love if you did a video like this!!

[@gerardinebetancourt1246]

+Hollie Forrest hollie do declutter plis

[@kaydwessie296]

+Hollie Forrest I need to declutter mine, if I make a video do you think people would watch? :0

[@ms97]

+Hollie Forrest Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to learn about tips for organizing home try Skyarza Declutter Expert Star (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate got great success with it.

[@GlossandSparkle]

When you said we keep things "just in case", that totally resonated with me. I'll find myself decluttering and come across a piece that I literally NEVER wear, and be like " Well...I better keep this just in case. I mean I might need it someday, if I ever go camping (yeah right)...and it rains...and I need to be warm...yet waterproof." What??? No, never gonna happen. Get rid of it! Lol

[@smaxrob]

😂😂😂👌👌👌 my life

[@SveciaS77]

Me afffffuuuuu

[@johasnolife5121]

i have a serious PROBLEM of doing that omfg

[@ItsKeerstin]

Good job, girl! Don't beat yourself up over "only" getting rid of 50%. Remember, it's about "what do I want to keep?" instead of "how much do I want to get rid of?" :)

[@CReate-ux4rl]

First: Loved your look today! Second: I go through my closet about every 2 months, and I still feel as though I have so much! The funny thing is, I have about 1/8th of what most of my other friends. Its honestly so sad how blessed I am and how aware I am of that, and how many other people I know who are oblivious to that. Sometimes I need to take a minute to remind myself and say a prayer thanking the lord for how fortunate I am, and not look at the fact my friends have more but I have plenty on my own.

[@itsjessicabraun]

***** Loved this comment, Catie! :)

[@DanielleD004]

***** Good thoughts! :]

[@graciellalee2477]

here's a few suggestions on techniques to de clutter fast Allow yourself 5 minutes every day to de clutter Give away one item every day Fill up a trash bag today! Make a list of what to do this week. Buy four bags and sort everything into trash, give away, keep, or relocate. (I discovered these and the reasons they work on Nilah declutter tips website )

[@VaguelyOriginal]

I'd never thought of it like that, 90% of the clothes I have now I'd never even give a second look in a store! Now I wanna go get ALL my clothes out! 😘❤️

[@AdrianaPina567]

I've seen a lot of videos about this book and yours was by far the best. You gave it a personal touch, showed us how emotionally frustrating or draining it was but so rewarding. Your honesty is beautiful :)

[@tigereyes5879]

You were on the Kon Mari method miles ahead of the Netflix wave. Love it.

[@denisefincher15]

Really enjoyed this. I am feeling strangled by "stuff" right now. I like a place for everything and right now I don't have it because I have too much. I can't feel the peace from a uncluttered house that I have felt in the past. I am going to buy this book and begin the path back to my happy place.

[@woahnatalie]

You have no idea how helpful this video is. I had already gone through my clothes and picked out the stuff I didn't want. But, after watching this video, off top, there were a few items that came to my mind and I couldn't help but laugh at myself. Also, I watched a video by Jesse and Jeana (BFvsGF) where instead of donating to thrift stores, they got a bunch of clothes and drove around looking for homeless people to give the clothes to. It was super inspirational, and since then I decided that from now on, that is what I am going to be doing with the clothes I no longer need. I encourage you guys to do the same. They need it more than anyone else and it just feels amazing knowing that you are helping someone in need.

[@geetasharamdhonee1317]

Love Natalie That's so true. Better to give to people who are in need rather than throwing. Its like a good deed no matter how small the gesture is.

[@kathleencremmins286]

I learned from another decluttering site was to take pictures of the item....I can have it still - in a flat picture or saved on a flash drive of items I loved - it is fun to look back at timeframes in life. One day, those will get deleted but it was a little less stressful to let it go. :)

[@emmamarier7042]

I think the idea of making sure all the clothes you have make you happy is key, and I agree with not spending money on stuff that look 100% stellar on you to overall, reduce your consumption of goods. However, I am not sure how I feel about the part about not "downgrading" stuff to lounge wear or gym wear. I feel it encourages general overconsumption. Like, don't bother using stuff that is still perfectly functional for a purpose (sleeping or training), just get rid of it and buy some more. I know it's still a valid option to donate thing, but usually, thing we re-purpose as lounge wear are items that are most probably worn off, so we don't really get to donate them. Anyway, I like the general idea, and these were just my thoughts. :) I really love all your videos Jessica, your channel is truly my favourite on youtube. Like somebody else said, yours just feels so real and honest. You do such good work

[@YulichkaXO]

Emma nuelle I completely agree with you! A lot of my gym shirts are just shirts I downgraded. I guess it just depends on the person. Really enjoyed watching this though :-)

[@sussannerandall85]

Part of the thing is she wants u to feel good in your clothes regardless of whether u are relaxing at home, going to work or taking a class at the gym. Yes, u can wear anything to work out in or sleep but when u dress better u feel better- just the way it is. This method does not mean u will need to run out and buy things as most of as have enough of what we love however o e thing I will be purchasing is 2 sets of summer pj's no more ratty shirts for me :)

[@martinigalseven1520]

Emma nuelle I agree too, downgrading your old stuff for lounging and working out is fine. Why would you get rid of a perfectly good old tee that you can sleep in. I know this decluttering book has a mind/soul component to it and it sounds really interesting. But to purchase more, ie: loungewear, is simple just continuing to consume more. I find it to be contradicting. Otherwise, great video, great advice. I always think, 'can someone else get more use from this'. And of course there are always the fat and skinny clothes....that drives me nuts!

[@kaydwessie296]

+Emma nuelle I downgrade shirts sometimes, I'm in a shirt from a high school event that's too big right now lol, but I'm getting angry at how much I use my old shirts for work shirts that might get massage oil on them. I'm here like "I don't even want to wear these in public why won't I just throw them somewhere else and get work shirts uuuuugh"

[@johannaheartscheer]

I love how different your channel is in the sense that you seem so realistic compared to other KZbinrs! Thank you for keepin' it real (((:

[@itsjessicabraun]

***** Thank you so much!!! :) That comment means a lot to me!!

[@scottwallace1]

Totally agree. Love it.

[@lisacortes6351]

Your descriptions of the book are clear for me. I also keep things that were gifts, because i might need it in the future and because it's new. This video has helped change my thinking about deciding if something is worth keeping. Thanks for sharing.

[@JaneMC36]

When my dear mother passed away nearly 3 years ago, I was in charge of purging and selling 1 of their many homes. My parents were big collectors of GREAT things. But after having the "GREAT SALE" as I loving called it, of things I could not use or stuff into my home I learned a whole bunch! I swapped things from our home for their WONDERFUL things and now I really keep the purging going. (I was ALWAYS a purger!). When I go to a store I think LONG and HARD if I really want the item. When I buy new clothes now I ALWAYS purge the amount of items that I bring into my home. I will not live with clutter and STUFF just to have it. So bravo to you and your great purge. It's very freeing indeedy! Happy Newlywed to you!!!!!!!! Marriage really suits you!

[@wikagawu535]

it is such a great video! you are totally right, somehow it's hard to get rid of things because of some sensless emotional bond. When i was moving out from my parents i took so many things with me and still there's much more left. In this moment you realize how many things can "need" one person. The good side of it it's that actually when you're not living there and you haven't seen things in there for a while it's much easier to declutter. When I was a kid i didn't have any serious own money. my parents always said "whatever you need just ask for it" but the truth was, they buy things they like (ok mostly my mom) not stuff i actually wanted. Then when I had my very first own money I start storage lots of clothes and cosmetics, perfume, literally everything which I like because I CAN. I was so bonded with it that it took a while to understand that these things were, are and will be in store ALWAYS whenever i need it and that i don't have to own it all. I had more pulovers than winter has days. I feel much better after geting rid off all clothes i actually didnt like anymore, didnt wear. I'm pretty sure people who get these have now more use of it that i had.

[@reefprayerresin]

What a breath of fresh air you are, Jessica. Thankyou.

[@HeatherB81]

LOVED this video!!! Little secret... You are my motivation for cleaning and/or decluttering! Your house always looks so perfect and clean, and sometimes I watch your videos to give myself a kick in the rear to get busy! Would love to see you do more and fill us in on what works for you and motivates you 😁

[@lauralou1102]

I watched this video right after it was posted and have since been tidying up all over my house. I started with books and DVD which I sold at Half Price Books and got $125, so that was awesome! I am now working on my clothes, shoes, and bedding. So far I have 5 big bags to donate to goodwill and am still going through everything. It feels great to purge what doesn't make actually me happy and I feel so much lighter! My next stops are the kitchen and then the craft room. Lastly is the garage, mainly because it is 108 degrees in TX right now so I'm waiting for it to not be hot enough to fry eggs on my garage floor before I start working in there. Thank you for the video and for bringing this book to my attention...I feel great and my house is looking great too!!!

[@JoanieTiVi]

I have so many sleep t-shirts XD

[@johasnolife5121]

me too lol too many

[@jennifercahill7397]

I'm guilty of the "what ifs" as well. I like to try clothes on when I am decluttering the closet but I definitely need to try this method as well. It is crazy to have so many clothes when you typically only wear the same outfits (at least for me). Thanks for the inspiration!

[@jennifercahill7397]

I'm guilty of the sleepshirt thing so I need to curb that too except when it is an old, super soft, sentimental shirt because I have made two former shirts like that into sleepwear and they are my favorites to wear now.

[@snoopysister1]

This sounds so therapeutic! I'm definitely going to do this then go shopping! (With this in mind of course.) 🙊

[@itsjessicabraun]

Emily T. Yess!

[@melissayackley9067]

Our family just read this book and went through our clothes and much of our other belongings too--we found it very freeing and loved her ideas of how to decide what to keep based on what brings joy! Thanks for sharing your sorting process with us!

[@neon471]

Honestly, thank you so much for this video! I'm starting college in the fall and moving into a dorm so lately i've been trying to really whittle down the immense amount of stuff I own to make it easier to pack what I really need. Dealing with clothes has been the hardest. Every time I try to tackle my collection I end up getting overwhelmed and giving up, but watching all your decluttering videos has helped so much. Changing your mindset really does make all the difference in the world

[@mirellakorhonen6177]

Thank you for this video, I really appreciated it!:) The thing about KonMari is that it really makes you think, about your life and you, as a person. What do you like, what don't you like. What represents YOU. I think it more as a mental process than anything else. It helps to accept the things that have happened in the past, then let go of them ; to stop living in the past. Also, to stop worrying about the future. Most of the things that we "hoard" are for the fear that might happen if we don't have a certain item when we need it someday. As Marie said in the book, it will be fine. Things we may or may not need once or twice during our lifetime no do need a permanent storage place in our homes. The final magic touch happens when we start living in the NOW. :)

[@bebecardoon2646]

Omg. I am literally listening to you while I am decluttering my closet!!! That's how painful I was feeling getting rid of certain things. I am totally connecting with you right now. AND I am going crazy stuffing those bags with things I DO NOT WEAR and/or don't make me happy!Thank you soooooo much for being totally brutal and blunt! Now back to my mission. I can't wait to finish this today!

[@lindiloohoo]

I follow all of your makeup videos, but I'm so glad I found this one! I've heard of this method and have been meaning to try it, but between grad school and a baby, I just haven't gotten around to it. Now that I have (a tiny bit of) free time, this has given me the push to do this with my clothes! Thanks so much for this Jessica!

[@vconner711]

I read the book about 2 months ago. I think I had told you about how we lost everything in a house fire in March of 2014. We were so Blessed in the way our community helped us out and I had been holding onto the things that we were given out of fear of hurting others feelings. But when I finally realized that they would be okay about it, I was able to purge about 80%. I was able to start purchasing things in my own style again because I had space to store them now. Very freeing experience. Now trying to work through other categories. Keep sharing your insight!

[@lvega5606]

My boyfriend should write a book on possessions. I like his philosophy: Don't get rid of anything that can be used and don't buy anything you're not going to thoroughly use. Most of his belongings were either gifts, hand-me-downs, or purchases from classified ads (like his washer and drier, treadmill, and elliptical). A lot of this stuff is almost as old as he is. I have lived with him for 3 years and never have seen him buy clothes or a home good. I've seen him buy a pair of workout shoes, a few groceries monthly, and basic toiletries a couple times per year. Men can be so simple.

[@sannekoerts3633]

wow that's so clever! I buy way to much unnecessary things..

[@lvega5606]

sanne koerts me too. I am trying to be more like him and wait to buy something until I really need it. Are you Dutch? There is a good Dutch gymnast named Sanne (Wevers).

[@sannekoerts3633]

+Lisa Vega yeah I'm dutch. I feel like the declutter trend is way smaller here..

[@PinkMakeupLady]

I LOVED the book!! I am 'slowly' putting the KM method into motion...I can't wait to be uncluttered and JOY-ful! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience with this life-changing book!

[@farmgirl030]

was watching this while doing my half yearly clothing sort and cul. I already have a smaller wardrobe/capsule wardrobe so I have items that have survived numerous culs. It can be so tricky but perserverance and brutal honesty helps. thanks for sharing your tups and your honesty.

[@CardiBC]

I'm really thankful for you for making this video because I have depression and going through my clothes and thinking about joyful memories has really helped me. Thank you so much for inspiring me and sparking joy in me!

[@Jennifr1966]

HA!!!! I didn't realize that you were a KonMarie plan. I heard of her only a few days ago, but I've been following her ever since! I'm a REAL beginner, learning her methods, but she has really smart techniques! I was able to talk my daughter into giving up HALF her books, based on, "Does this still serve you? When you look at it, does it still spark joy? Or would you rather bless someone else with it now?" This girl is a hard-core gatherer, so for her to get rid of half her books was huge! Today is my turn. She gets to see me in action, and I'm really excited!

[@louthefrogqueen]

I am so intrigued by the idea the writer of this book has created but also afraid of it as well. I bought this book and have put off reading it because I know it will force me to change, I know that sounds silly but change is scary for me and I get anxiety thinking about it lol. I have to try to muster up the courage and finally get myself to open up its pages and read and really take in the messages inside and embrace change, especially if it's so life changing and good for you! I am hopeful that I will try and so happy you have shown its hard but doable, thanks so much Jessica!

[@lindseyyip455]

Thank you for filming this video! When I watched your makeup declutter videos they inspired me to go through my makeup and get rid of a bunch that I didn't use. Now I feel the need to go through all of my clothes!

[@morgansobsessions9236]

I love this!!! I feel like the "keeping it just in case" is a huge part of being a teacher. It's something I struggle with constantly, because each year is different and you never know what you are going to want to do with your kids. This is a great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@johdonnaharris2637]

The VERY best making sense video EVER!! I started reading this book after Mary from ALOVETART brought this book to my attention. You both remind me of each other in many ways. I have found its a slow go for me to jump in and do my whole house, but I will continue working! This method really REALLY makes perfect sense!! You did such a GREAT JOB Jessica explaining the things and you made perfect sense! Your video gave me the boost I needed to do even more and I thank you!! Please let us follow you as you do your whole house. Thank u! J.Harris

[@laurab1184]

Thanks for the video, Ive been going thru a lot of them and yours made the most sense to me. I like how you spent a few minutes at the end going over the reasons we try to keep things that really need to go.

[@coryhartcruz]

I actually love this video!! It's different, it's more personal. It gives a different perspective on your life & who you are.

[@mojojosie]

Your breakdown of what went through you head through the process was awesome to hear. I’m going through KonMari now and it’s reassuring knowing I had the same discussions in my own head. Thanks! 😊

[@jacquelynlovene]

It is sooo much easier to get dressed in the morning in an uncluttered closet. Quality over quantity. There's no sense in holding onto clothes just for the sake of having a bunch of clothes. I finally learned that lesson!

[@edna1915]

I just finished this book and plan to start the discarding soon. I'm so glad you shared all your inner dialogue you had during because I say the exact same things, I'm sure many do. You seem like a lovely person. Thanks for sharing.

[@ALBEEWEI]

I have read the book before & decluttered my apartment using her method. It really works! I'm glad you made this video to summarize the book, because I'm sure in the future I'm gonna need to watch it again :)

[@unkwngrl89]

I instantly got inspired and started going through ALL of my closet. thanks Jess!!

[@TravelingBibliophile]

I think your comment about shopping your wardrobe and asking "would you buy it again?" harmonizes very well with "does it bring you joy" and is a great way to apply the KonMarie method for sorting through clothes.

[@emilybenzing5920]

This gave me so much inspiration - I always feel bad about getting rid of clothes and other items whether they are new, or a gift, etc. I feel like this kind of gave me the peace I needed to finally get rid of all the unwanted things, especially ones that don't make me happy anymore. Thank you!

[@areddinosaur]

You are such a beautiful person, inside and out. You inspire all of your viewers. You are so nice and honest. Keep doing what you're doing Gorgeous!

[@samhouston8483]

I'm on my Konmari journey now too! Trying to declutter and simplify my life before I move in a couple weeks. Was really excited to see that you posted this video :)

[@katemckinney7441]

I've been decluttering all morning while doing what seems like 100 loads of laundry from vacation. I needed a mental break so I set down and saw this video, now I'm energized to start back! Thanks!

[@billiejent281]

Great vid! I am also a teacher and love summer break as a time to declutter. I haven't read the book, but did a closet overhaul yesterday. It feels so freeing to purge! I removed three bags from my closet and three bags from my son's! Thanks so much for sharing! ❤️

[@jenniferannfox2316]

I've watched alot of videos concerning this book. I"m trying so hard to go through all my things. Your video is the best in explaining so much.

[@jennw6809]

So inspirational. I love the book and have been working my way slowly through my house and office. You bring up a great point about buying multiples until you find "the one." Sometimes it's hard not to do that, I have been experiencing the same thing with makeup and nail polish. However, some advice I like is to go cheap on trendy clothes, but really spend and be SUPER CHOOSY about classic pieces. Thanks for the inspiration!!!!

[@shannonconnolly3369]

Thank you for the motivation! Today I'm going through all my clothes as well I have so much stuff from years ago that I don't wear that I was always afraid to get rid of but I'm finally doing it and it feels so good!

[@Greatsoprano12]

Your video really resonated with me - especially when you talked about downgrading to loungewear and what if I need this in the future. I am currently reading Marie's book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up also and so this was really helpful. It's so hard to change your mindset and let go of things.

[@scottwallace1]

Best video of this type I’ve seen (and I’ve watched plenty!). Perfect combination of process and explanation of that process. Loved it!!!

[@islandgirlsummer]

I'm currently reading the book as well. When I tackled my clothing I had to break it down into the categories she mentioned. Tops first, then bottoms, etc. Loving it so far!

[@ntapia11]

Thanks for the video. I haven't read the book but understood the overall concept from another you tuber and presented it to my 18 year old son who, in the past, could not seem to get rid of a lot of his clothes. He tried the method and within a few hours was able to clear out about half his drawers and closet...and felt good about it. Just ordered the book for my sister.

[@c1975stark]

You have a great video personality! You're such a clear and confident speaker.

[@AScentToRemember]

I've been working on decluttering to. I have read a few books just to keep me going as I declutter other areas of my life. Clothes was the easiest since I have always been one to go through them each season. Books and Makeup was a lot harder! I am getting better with the makeup since I have joined dotfully. I can list what I don't want and the other person pays for shipping and the website emails a shipping label. So now I at least feel like I am giving it a better home since none of my friends use makeup. The books were hard at first but then I realized I could just give them to my library. I probably wasn't going to read them again and if I wanted to I could just get them there or online through the ebook library system. I still kept some but I got rid of a good portion and will probably get rid of more. Thanks for posting this video! I might check out this book it seems like a good method of thinking. I hope you keep on posting more decluttering videos!

[@Sara-eu2sh]

I just read this book a month ago and it is seriously incredible!! I have always been a messy person until I did this method... it is one of the best books ever!!

[@stephaniegelinas4373]

Hugely motivational! I've been wanting to do a big clean out for a while and this was just what I needed to get me going. Keep the declutter videos coming!!

[@jamiekaus1037]

This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. I just went to Amazon to buy the book. I'm in the process of de-cluttering and all the things you said were so helpful, Thank you so much for making this video!!

[@jessicamead4040]

I just did a balancing < kinesiology touch for health> regarding having too much clutter. Now i am taking out all of my clothes and doin it! The keepers are the best

[@EverydayDazzle]

This makes me want to go declutter my closet right now! I think I'm going to have to get this book

[@fabiennevandinther5470]

You're just like me! I did the Konmari method with my clothes yesterday. I feel a little bit stressed from time to time that i got rid of like 2/3 of all my clothes because my mom can't get rid of stuff and somehow teached me to live like that too. Until i started reading the book. I'm living in the Netherlands. I'm so excited to see more of your Konmari decluttering videos! Bye!

[@illbebe]

I really like the way you explain the method. I'm thinking of getting into it and have been looking around. So far you're the person that has explained it in a way that really Vibes with me. Thanks dear.

[@CalmVibesVee]

Liking something used to be a good enough reason to buy something. That is why i had SO much stuff. When i finally came to the belief that i don't have to own everything i like and that my worth is not attached to possessions i was able to own much less. It is SO freeing. It gives so much more clarity & focus towards real goals & life purpose.

[@graceloizou594]

I love you so much Jess! this video was so helpful! I always try to reason with myself to keep it, after watching I just went through my whole closet, I feel so much better after decluttering❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lanalane2990]

Love this video Jessica. I just bought the book. I am so exciting to declutter after watching you do it. Can't wait to have more space, and really enjoy what I keep. Thanks for another great video.

[@mariagoergen4064]

So inspiring! I love the way you worded this

[@YayaBolender]

I read the book and I was amazed by the efficiency of this method. Your video is quite good and gives a little push to actually do it. So far, I managed to fold my things in the drawers as she says, it is so much more convenient. I am of course decluttering too but it is very overwhelming because I have a happy memory with every single piece, so I really need to be reasonable and at least throw what is so damaged that I would be ashamed to wear publicly. And I am so into Feng Shui! :-) A very complicated situation for me, but I progress seriously. This book is definitely a must have, you're right.

[@pattistanley9334]

I bought that book a few months ago but haven't gone through the process. Thank you for sharing your experience. Seeing what you have done gives me courage to tackle my own closet that contains way too much many of items that don't even fit anymore.

[@SpiffyWTF]

Your video was so helpful! I've been struggling with "cleaning out my closet" for years and years, accumulating more and more. I really need to order this book you reference. Thank you!

[@lindaadair7750]

I'm really glad you posted a video like this.

[@therealmissglamBAM]

Great tips, thanks for giving us a crash course in the book. Proud of you for getting rid of half your closet!

[@yankintx4066]

I love your videos. You are so mature and practical. I really learn a lot. I am 51 years old and it is hard to find good vloggers my age and the younger ones are fun but not a good fit for me. You fill in a niche that's ageless. Looking forward to more! p.s. Your Disney video was so cute. Loved your excitement!

I started reading this book today and j just can't stop. It makes me want to just tackle all of the clutter in my life. Thanks for the recommendation

[@norahusein8940]

I loved this video! I've been going through a household declutter and need to tackle my wardrobe as well. I'm guilty of just about everything you said in this video and can't wait til i have room in my closet for clothes i actually enjoy wearing. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@thewadsquad]

I know that this video was filmed years ago, but you have totally inspired me to clean out my closet… Again! Thanks for the motivation/inspiration!!

[@ptjeanetteb1524]

Thank you! I am actually decluttering my closet today, and I have been postponing it for weeks! I needed this video today. Thank you :)

[@tamoracernyprofessionalorg7647]

Thank you! You did an amazing job explaining this book and process!!!!

[@LG-vq5yj]

Super helpful encouragement right before I start to go through my own pile. Thanks for the video!

[@Lizbetstyle]

You did such a great job purging your clothes. After watching you, I went back through my closet and drawers and found 2 more things to purge. Two doesn't sound like much but I just weeded out my clothes a few months ago.

[@lewisfamily6661]

Thank you so much for doing this!! I'm in the middle of moving and feeling SOOOOO overwhelmed, and this has really freed me to change the way I'm purging my house. Love your videos!!! XxOo

[@henriettathecow]

I'm moving in less than a month and I really needed this! You're so right about looking at clothes that you don't feel 100% in, but keeping them because you feel guilty. I can't wait to go through my closet and declutter with the mindset of "would I purchase this again?" before my move. Thanks for the great video!

[@jesssfaith]

this video was just on time! I have recently been reorganizing my room, and a big part of that was my clothes! I went through everything last night and used the methods you used and I ended getting rid of over half of my closet!! thank you so much!~ xo

[@mparlanti]

This is exactly the kind of video I needed today. I am also trying to declutter before I start teaching again at the end of August. It is a daunting task and I think your tips will make it a little easier. I have to read that book. Thanks, Jessica!

[@rhyankaninchen2663]

I am definitely going to have to see about getting this book! I've been working on going through and organizing lately, and my next step, once I get everything categorized, is to declutter to get myself ready to move out for the first time in about six months, and the process you described from the book seems much more effective than the process I was planning on using.

[@dzuke3127]

You made a wonderful video!!! Thank you! I played it for my mom today; we are about to declutter her closet right now. Now she is prepared after watching your video. Thank you!

[@samanthavalls3370]

Love the video, love the book, I truly believe happiness can only be achieved in a decluttered life!!

[@kimrj92]

I think I am going to go declutter my closet now. I am usually a person who loves to declutter and get rid of stuff I don't use, although, lately I have gotten into a pattern of thinking that I don't have very much stuff so I don't need to declutter. My clothing situation is at a point where I have to dig through my closet to find the few items that I like to wear and that make me happy (I would say 80% of what I own I do not like or fit into anymore). Thanks for making this video and I hope in the future we all can make smart purchases for things we will actually wear and love!

[@jackandlill]

You explained it wonderfully & you look great in this video!! Thanks ♥

[@elizabethwright4784]

Love your make-up! Best declutter video I've seen recently.

[@juliekostas7322]

Your method of implementing the Konmari method was the most helpful to me! 👍🏼💕🙏🏼

[@CarlaRoberts102956]

I absolutely loved this video! It sure made me stop and re-think about my cluttered closet. You looked gorgeous as always in this video and loved the blouse you had on.

[@thebookishbard1051]

I started the konmari method back in April or May. It has literally changed my life. I quit my job of 9 years! Once my "house" is more in order I think I am going to go through each category one last time as I get a clearer vision of my new life. Good luck! I hope you continue this series and that more youtubers do it too. Maybe I will start recording my konmari journey too!

[@crazylady1745]

Loved this video. As I was watching, I was doing a mental check list of my drawers and closets. Will check out the book. Thanks.

[@CrixJoki]

Thank you for making this video! I´ve been draging my closet cleanout/declutter for months now...but I think I´m gonna do it today :) try it in yours and KonMari style! Have a wonderful day!

[@sweetbacioni3703]

I just did the konmari method ....you're gonna love it

[@AnastasiaR]

This video popped up right as my main task today is to clean out my closet! So true that keeping certain items can make you feel guilty or bad. Even if it was expensive or beautiful if it makes you feel awful when you look at it- not good! You look great in this video btw!!!!

[@TheSillykelly]

What a helpful video! Love all your declutter and how you explain your thought process because it is so like mine. And probably most of us;) I've been jumping on board with makeup declutter, kitchen declutter (just how many coffee cups does a single woman with a dishwasher need! Haha) But, after watching this I am inspired to tackle the clothes situation. The I'll fit back in it some day, I might have a party to wear this dress to, it doesn't feel comfortable but it's so cute, and on and on. Just like you said:) thanks so much for your videos. You come across as just one of us regular gals and I really enjoy your channel.
