☘️ The HIDDEN Side Of The KonMari Method • What I Learned From Drastically Decluttering My Home

☘️ When I started the KonMari Method 6 years ago I had no idea what I was letting myself in for! Obviously I was hoping for a clutter-free home, but what I got was SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT.
If you've been considering decluttering, or are just starting out, these are some things you need to be aware of.

Organizing my home helped me to strip back all the layers I collected through life and rediscover my true self.

[@HowToGYST]

Isn't it so interesting how getting rid of "external" stuff can have such an impact on our internal lives?

[@lisamcdonald2877]

And then getting rid of it without regret? Serious question.

[@HowToGYST]

@@lisamcdonald2877 It starts with getting rid of the "easy" stuff, like trash and things that are broken or you know you no longer need. From there you slowly move on to slightly harder things, but things you know you could easily replace (like most books, for example). Over time you'll build that decluttering muscle and your confidence in your decision-making abilities. If you genuinely think you'll regret getting rid of something, keep it for now. Maybe box it up and put it somewhere out of sight. See if you even think about it again.

[@jennywrenn469]

Laura when you talked about how your post pregnancy challenges helped reform your decluttering ideas I wanted to share a lil story that happened recently to me. We rescued a baby bird (pink nestling, eyes not open yet) & my world was suddenly thrown into 1/2 hour feedings, changing bedding, researching her needs, etc. My world was turned upside down, in a wonderful way, & it helped me put into perspective what was really important- a lil bird who depended solely on me. She is a fledgling now & I brought her to a rescue where she can intgrate with other sparrows then will be released on 40 acres of wildlife area. Something as simple as a little sparrow has helped me adjust my perspective on what s important- & it's not just stuff! I was sad to see her go but am grateful for what litte Flicker gave to me in return. May seem silly to some, but she made a real impact in my world. 🤎🐦🤎

[@elainecole6896]

Love this story, making a difference! ☺️

[@ireneterpstra1366]

This is so sweet. It does help to put things into perspective. I sit with my cat on my lap every morning as I drink my large cup of coffee. It sometimes feels like a total waste of my precious time. But I need the time to relax a bit before I start my day. I'm retired, so there is no real hurry. The cat needs, no requires, love and attention too. I used to think her meowing was her telling me she was hungry, but that's not it at all. Her meowing continues after I put her fresh food out. She cries for love and attention. And I am glad to give it to her.

[@eileennovak1656]

What a beautiful story. Life has a way of putting things in our path to remind us of our priorities, doesn't it? Thank you for caring for another living creature.

[@sufferable]

I always wore my old scruffy clothes everyday and kept all my nice clothes 'for best'. This was something my mother did too. Since decluttering, I am generally smartly dressed (most of the time) and know exactly where a few old clothes are kept for gardening, decorating etc. It's made such a difference to how I feel and behave. I'm more relaxed and outgoing now than I was and I've made new friends and tried new things because of it. I still have 'slob' days and I still have clothes and shoes that I love but rarely wear (especially now!), but when the occasion comes along I won't need to dash out to buy a whole new outfit because I have one already planned. Decluttering IS like washing up! Washing up your life as you go along. Thank you Laura I always enjoy your posts x

[@HowToGYST]

That's wonderful, Pam! I'm always so surprised by how many benefits there are to decluttering, beyond just getting rid of stuff. It's almost like a whole-life overhaul.

[@bertuccigirl]

You are sounding like Dawn from The Minimal Mom. Finding out how getting rid of things gives peace etc. Looking forward to feeling more of that myself!!

[@HowToGYST]

Dawn is wonderful so I'm going to take that as a MASSIVE compliment. THANK YOU!

[@BronwenBudgets]

Great video, thanks for sharing! I started my decluttering journey with a bang in August 2019 and got rid of about 50% of my stuff in a month. I have continued to declutter at a slower pace since then and enjoy it. Decluttering helped me feel less overwhelmed and anxious. It also created space in my mind to tackle my finances, learn to budget and become debt free.

[@HowToGYST]

Yes, it's amazing how it ripples out into so many other areas of your life, isn't it? Truly magical.

[@eahuebner1]

Decluttering helped me dig out from PPD too. My son was born with medical concerns in the beginning of 2020. I got the all clear that he's healthy right before the 💩 storm started for the whole world. A year of parenting two kids, living like a hermit, got to me. In 2021 I've decluttered the whole house so that it functions.

[@HowToGYST]

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. PPD on its own is awful enough without anything else thrown into the mix. How are you feeling now? I'm always here if you need someone to talk to. x

[@eahuebner1]

@@HowToGYSTthank you for caring. I'm actually doing better with my mental health than at any other time in my adult life. It's an uncomfortable clearness. Now, I'm actively working on making this my normal and getting help before things hit the crisis point, in the future.

[@ireneterpstra1366]

I understand about depression. I had a mild case when my children were young and I was dieting on a ridiculous food plan that lacked proper nutrition. Depression is no fun. And it can lead to divorce, or even worse. I liked what you said about continuing to declutter to see how far you can go with it. I found, quite unexpectedly, that decluttering makes me feel joy. I never thought I'd say that. I couldn't do the KonMari style of decluttering because my clothes were not just in my closet, not just in the house, but were in the garage, the shed and, more abundantly, in 20+ large tote bins in the backyard. I still have tote bins in the backyard. But not nearly as many as I did have. Here in Seattle, we have drive through lines at the thrift stores just to donate. One day I took in 3 bags of stuff to the Value Village because they have donation bins at the main door. I bought some baskets to help me control the clutter I still have; and when I took the shopping cart back to the cart storage spot, I took 3 more bags with me to put in the donation bins. I felt that I was a bit sneaky about that because having so much to donate week after week is embarrassing. I just loaded my car with 6 small bags and 3 large bags to donate sometime this week. The Salvation Army store that opened sometime during our Covid experience does not seem to have a line to donate and I hope to get there soon. It is so nice to see you smile when you do your videos. Please do keep doing your videos. I learn something new everyday about decluttering and cleaning, painting, crafting and just appreciating a less cluttered house and back yard. If I didn't fit in some crafting and relaxing, I'd go crazy before I would get to the point were decluttering would be an infrequent task. I accept the fact that decluttering, like washing the dishes, will never end so long as I live in my own house and can take care of myself. Who am I kidding, I will probably have clutter in my cabinet next to my old folk's home bed. :)

[@HowToGYST]

Everyone has their own form of "clutter" that they can't bear to part with, so I think you'll be OK. 😉 It sounds like you're making MASSIVE progress though! You should be very proud of yourself. If you haven't already, take some photos so you can compare in a few months when you've decluttered even more. 🙂

[@crybebebunny]

@@HowToGYST ,WoW photos. That's a great idea so when you are frustrated because you feel stuck. You can clearly see that it's just a hiccup, to keep going, that you have successively done it before.

[@HowToGYST]

@@crybebebunny Yes, it's a great way to visually see your progress (which isn't always obvious day-to-day).

[@xhan104]

I read Marie kondo’s back story and literally thought I was reading my own story! Years of organising stuff neatly but never getting rid of it! I’m a natural hoarder and I get so stressed at the thought of losing an item but I found the less stuff I had the less stressed I was. It was totally liberating and addictive and there’s almost nothing I regret getting rid of.

[@conniesoares157]

I agree that decluttering does help cut the cleaning house time down a huge amount! Makes things easier to have a place to put things instead of just stuffing!

[@HowToGYST]

Doesn't it!? Like, such a HUGE difference. My home still gets messy but knowing where things go makes tidying up a MUCH quicker task.

[@christinegagne4262]

I'm tired of managing the excess. I want space to do the things I love now and let the regrets go. With minimalism l'm growing closer to finding that sweet spot of having enough. It's fun to be surounded by your favorite things and being able to use them efficiently everyday. As I get older I want less time spent on deciding what to wear, eat, read or clean.

[@trishtraynor1237]

I know! You're adopting me and you need the space for me and my chihuahua,Dempsey.?!😂 I was sorting through the hall cupboard and came across 4 umbrellas. Now, I never use an umbrella. They are clumsy annoying objects and only leave you with one free hand so why had I 4?In case anyone who was visiting needed an umbrella. They are in the wee bag for the charity shop now and anyone needing an umbrella can buy their own.😆 I think my mind set for why I keep stuff is changing, so thank you Laura.💖💃🐕

[@HowToGYST]

That's wonderful, Trish! My mindset has changed DRAMATICALLY over the years, and is ever evolving. What an adventure, eh?

[@nedf8668]

Thank you for another great video. Routines and decluttering have helped me through a difficult few years too. Recently I displayed a collection of childhood books in my sitting room. I also intend to take some piano lessons again soon. My crochet bag has a place that I can return it to when not in use. Decluttering definitely helps me make space for me and my interests.

[@HowToGYST]

It's wonderful how it creates so much time and space, isn't it? I don't know where I'd be or what I'd be doing if I hadn't decluttered.

[@martavillanueva1062]

My take away from the wrapping paper thing is to avoid buying more. Use what you have and shop the next time you need something, but don't over buy. Empty spaces are okay.

[@HowToGYST]

Yes! I tend to keep and re-use a lot, but it's eye-opening how the odd roll here and there all adds up!

[@crybebebunny]

@@HowToGYST you can use it on the white side and just put a bow in the color to match the occasion.

[@sibongilethwala7080]

I don't have any extra space so I manage my calendar to remind me in time when I need to get gifts.

[@Tayzerfun]

You're story is so similar to mine! I was 4 months post partum with my daughter and suffered from ppd when I started tackling our house. Listened to Marie kondos book and hit the ground running. I was so exhausted by being the "stuff manager" at our house. My daughter will be 5 this summer and it's helped our family so much!!

[@HowToGYST]

It makes such a huge difference, doesn't it? My daughter just turned 8. She regularly brings me things she'd like to donate.

[@CJ-bs7zl]

I’m curious too to see where I will be. Im edging towards minimalism (possibly living out suitcase). I’ve spoken before and the last five or so years have been unbelievably stressful including three house moves. If that experience, the pandemic and my poorly mental health has taught me anything it is that family, loved ones, friends and memories are what carry you through those difficult times. Not ‘stuff’ because it literally is just ‘stuff’. I’ve sold a lot on Facebook Marketplace. I realised it could ‘spark joy’ for others and make me money for travel in the process. I also donate too. When all is said and done ‘stuff’ isn’t important. Here’s to the next six years!

[@HowToGYST]

Hear hear! I feel like I peel away an extra layer each year.

[@inabina7167]

I have almost the same reason why I started the whole decluttering process as you do and now I also want to know how far I can actually go 😂🥳 I am sure I have not reached my limit yet (without being uncomfortable as you say) and I am really curious where it lies.

[@FilippaSkog]

Great video, as per usual! We, you and me, went through KonMari at pretty much the same time and all the things you mention have been true for my family too. It’s also made it possible for us to live comfortably in a much much smaller space than most families with kids (590 ft2/55 m2) and thus save quite a lot of money. Now we’ll have to move anyway as we’re expecting a baby girl this summer but even so... I notice how minimalism (not the extreme kind but the family kind) helps us in every single big decision in life. We’re still looking for a smallish apartment. We’ve bought everything we need for our baby and paid very little because we know we don’t need that much stuff, that stuff isn’t what will make or break the first year but having a tidy, relaxing space that doesn’t need much upkeep to stay that way. Not sure if I’m making sense, I’m SO TIRED 😂 Can’t believe I’m only 26 weeks, I feel like 36... I feel we’re two peas in a pod, Laura! Or “of the same scraps and grains” as we say in Sweden (what a weird saying 😅). Much love!
