I paused this video to give a hint… we donate furniture to our local woman’s shelter. A few years ago the director told us that they would use and cleaning supplies that we no longer wanted. So after 7 years of packing my cupboard with cleaning supplies, I brought everything out and only kept 1 of each product that I use. They were thrilled with the two boxes. 🌸

[@reallifewithali]

That’s great! I love it. ❤️

[@soundgal17]

Local animal shelters love and often request old blankets, towels, cleaning supplies, etc. If you are looking for other options. @@reallifewithali Wonderful videos by the way! I struggle with depression & fibromyalgia. I often have zero motivation. Your videos have definitely helped!!!

[@j.schwartz2355]

I’m watching your videos for the first time. I love how you were approaching your clutter! Very down to earth and very applicable to what I need to be doing. I like just hearing you in the background while I’m getting other things done. Keep up the great work!

[@reallifewithali]

Thank you! ❤️

[@k.6160]

It's so comforting to see that other people have clutter too..I feel like I'm the only one, but I see that I am not! Whew!

[@reallifewithali]

No, you are not! ❤️

[@carolgiffen8203]

Air Force jets. Do not apologize. It’s the Sound of Freedom!

[@reallifewithali]

I know! I thought about that comment later. I didn't mean to apologize for the jets. I just was apologizing that it was loud and maybe hard to hear me. ❤

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

10:36 Don’t you just love when things have an expiration date on them and they expired so that gives you permission to get of it!! 👍

[@reallifewithali]

Yes! ❤️

[@theriddlerUSA]

Thank you so much for your amazing video. I have ADHD and have good intentions to organize but I don't know how and I get so distracted, then overwhelmed and then decide I need to eat something and watch crime TV. You have really motivated me. Very much appreciated. 😊

[@reallifewithali]

Oh my gosh, that is funny! I feel your pain! When I get overwhelmed, I want to just waste time watching random videos on my phone. Try to just take small little bite sized chunks at a time so you don’t get as overwhelmed. I’m cheering you on! Thanks so much for watching. ❤️

[@theriddlerUSA]

@@reallifewithali Thank you so much. You're very sweet and I enjoy your channel. 😊

[@kimberlystahl1746]

I suggest baskets lined up. One for kitchen items. One for kids/toy room. One for bathroom. One for living room/den. One for garage or storage shed. As they get full take them to appropriate area, put items away and take basket back to the room you are cleaning or decluttering. Don't over fill baskets so that they are too heavy.

[@reallifewithali]

Thanks. Great idea!

[@emilyfewtrell4102]

You are the sweetest! I love how down to earth you are, im sure youre the best mum ❤❤

[@reallifewithali]

You are too kind! Thank you. ❤️

[@normanschranz4599]

I’ve removed all of my photos from albums and the most important ones. I have taken photos with my iPhone and transfer them onto a digital frame. The remaining photos I just put neatly in a shoebox, the enjoyment that I have from seeing the pictures rotate on the frame every 15 secondsgives me so much joy

[@reallifewithali]

Good idea!

[@kristabauer2359]

A mixture! I especially like decluttering and organizing but anything that makes life easier is great. Meal planning. Quick, but healthy, dinners for busy families. Having a “body double” is integral in me getting things done. Thank you!

[@reallifewithali]

Yes! It totally helps have a body double! Thanks for watching. ❤️ And thanks for the feedback.

[@sharonsomers5513]

I just Started watching you. I watched your skiing closet and luggage closet videos. You did a great job. I am working on decluttering more for 2024.

[@reallifewithali]

Thank you! I’m glad you’re here. ❤️

[@JakeMcCallaster]

I stumbled upon this video and couldn't stop watching. The energy and motivation kept me going throughout my own cleaning spree. It's a must-watch for anyone looking to transform their living space with practical decluttering tips.

[@reallifewithali]

Thank you!

[@cherylcoolidge8249]

I love decluttering videos most.

[@reallifewithali]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@asc3998]

I just found your channel & I absolutely love it! I'm so grateful that you share the reasoning process & also like seeing you go through everything step by step. So many channels fast forward & that really shows nothing. Other KZbinrs also toss so much without giving it any thought. That causes me great anxiety. The fact that you have a mindset of not wanting to waste, but are able to think it through & let go of some of it makes it something I can really relate to. The way you sort through things and share your thoughts is extremely helpful & is encouraging me to start on mine. Thank you!

[@reallifewithali]

Aww, thank you!! I’m so glad you like it. ❤️

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

16:04 Empty apple phone or iPad boxes make great containers in drawers to put this in like pens, markers, stick notes etc in or to organize your junk drawer with.

[@reallifewithali]

It’s true! I either didn’t think of that at the time or just wanted them out because I was tired of looking at them. Haha.

[@Joce123]

I take 3 totes and force myself to reduce it to one tote...in between mega cleaning days once every 6 months of that super downsizing day, I clear out 40 things a day. After slow decluttering for 4 years I emptied four 9x12 ft storage units.I no longer use a bedroom closet. I downsized to 2 coat trees.. then to 1 coat tree..to no coat tree..10 things on hangers with a tote for socks.

[@reallifewithali]

Wow! 🤩 I’m impressed! Thats amazing!

[@ohmystarnes8199]

Lol you need another bin labeled “ask husband”. Lol. good stuff! Amazing progress. Loved this video

[@reallifewithali]

I would recommend attaching a firm bungy cord from back standard of your steel shelf and wrap around the front and attach to the back standard on the other side. This should help during an earthquake.

[@reallifewithali]

[@kristabauer2359]

Thank you for your video. I struggle with my office. It serves as a catch-all for my items that don’t have homes. I don’t like being in there with things that don’t belong there. I end up with bins of random stuff all the time. I need to work on that. Find homes for things right away and sometimes that just may be the garbage.

[@reallifewithali]

You can do it! Just start small. Just 5 mins a day!

[@reallifewithali]

Way to go! Thats awesome! ❤️

[@anitasmith7764]

I just have a bag or box for each section of the house and I take it off all at once. Example kids rooms, bathroom, basement, garage, etc. Saves 2000 trips lol and tons of time. Also try to stop sorting when you still have some steam left to put stuff away so you’re more likely to put stuff away.

[@reallifewithali]

Haha! Yes, I am getting better at actually finishing a project by putting stuff away. 😬

[@grinchy56]

That was an incredible declutter. You inspire me to get going. Your canned fruit is beautiful !!!!

[@reallifewithali]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@louisedillon6797]

Check out Acre Homestead. She cans a lot of food that she grows in her garden and has it stored in her basement and I believe she has something across the front of her shelves to keep jars from falling off.

[@reallifewithali]

I’ve been watching her lately. LOVE her channel! Thanks for the suggestion! ❤️

[@jeanmcintyre4662]

I like to use the pretty jars that come as candles, or like the one you had, for gifting homemade cookies.

[@reallifewithali]

Good idea!

[@JimFantazzia]

I watched all these when they first came out...the office one for me is my favorite...would love an office update to see if it stayed decluttered or to re-declutter it. Also would love a video on decluttering your digital life and how you organize folders and files on your Macs...also update on all those pictures and slides and how you scanned them or digitized them, etc. Great to see videos again!

[@reallifewithali]

Thanks! Great ideas! I do have plans to go back to the office. It stayed mostly decluttered, but I never actually took the boxes of donations, recycling, and relocate and put them where they belong! 🤦🏻‍♀️ So that needs to get done for sure! Thanks so much for your support!

All the way declutter.. love this type of videos

[@reallifewithali]

Thanks!

[@annw1395]

That was the most thorough cleaning video I've ever watched. I've never seen anyone include cleaning out their drain pipes, but they obviously needed it! Awesome! Your house must feel so good now, with everything so clean. On your canning shelves, you could use bungee cords maybe. For long spans, hook bungee cords end-to-end. Or rope. I believe I've heard that household cleaners need to go in hazardous waste disposal. Regarding photographs, scanning is good, but keep some hard copies in the event of changes in technology, failure of technology, etc. On your laptops and other devices, you wiped your personal info and documents off them, hopefully. I'm enjoying your channel. New subscriber. 😊

I just started scanning my photos with Google's Photoscan a couple days ago. I'm really liking it, especially with all the old photos showing up on my Nest screen. I looked into a couple other services but use Chatbooks to print - seamless integration. I've been decluttering for years and am finally at the point where doing the photos is a joy not an obligation. You're making great progress through your closets! Love your skiing supplies shelf and rack in the other closet. 🌻🍄

Yay! 👏🏻

[@louisedillon6797]

I just found your channel. You do a great job and are very interesting to watch because you cover a lot of sensible material. The mint green top is very pretty. I think you should keep it and wear it. I kept clothes I grew out of and I am glad I did because I lost weight and I have something to fit into that I like. Also I hate shopping.

Hi Ali, I just come across you site today and have been binge watching. I felt your pain and frustration when your salsa fell and a jar broke. I would like to give a couple of pointers regarding your canning (not a critique at all) best practices in canning are to remove all of the rings. This enables you to determine if you have a false seal. Also, it is ok to stack 2 layers but you should have a layer of cardboard between the layers. I will be starting your 15 minute decluttering as well as the 2 minutes for the hot spots… Thank you for the motivation and inspiration!

[@reallifewithali]

@@pamthomes9022 Hi! I’m glad you are here! Thanks for the tips. I do remove the rings when I wash the jars after cooling. I make sure to check the seals before putting the rings back on.

[@debram476]

After watching your video, I realized that I naturally declutter all the time. I live alone, so I don’t buy as much food as a family. I recently scanned family photos and shared them with family. I’m also creating photo albums by uploading them to a website that creates photo albums for me.

Books are great to donate to your local library, I did that with my kids books as they grew out of them.

[@reallifewithali]

Thanks for the suggestion. ❤️

[@peggiescraftcafe7117]

The small bathroom Dixie cups could have been donated. Even though the box was open whoever bought them could have thrown away the top couple of cups and used the rest which I'm sure were fine. I've bought paper cups at rummage(garage)sales & thrift stores before. The canning lids that were older I'm sure were fine as I've seen canning channels that use them all the time. Actually the older lids have a thicker seal which many canners love. However the Amazon lids, yeah those were iffy and needed to be tossed. Refilling the bottles in the bathroom use a funnel. I have a Tupperware funnel with about a dime size opening that works perfectly for that as I refill my big hand soap pump in my kitchen. This was a very enjoyable video with lots of great inspiration. tfs

[@reallifewithali]

Thanks! I’m pretty sure I did do donate the cups. Now I can’t remember! I try and donate as much as I can. The bottles did come with a funnel, but the conditioner was so thick it wouldn’t go in. Maybe the shampoo too. It probably needed to have a wider opening.

[@lisanicolethrossell2423]

To keep the bottled fruit from falling off the shelf in case of earthquake you could use one of the occy straps - that’s what we call them in Australia - the long elastic type strap with the hooks on either end. It is a quick and easy if not temporary fix.

[@reallifewithali]

Thank you! I actually added those in a recent video!

HI! Great idea about kid's snack "paks." Here's a thought on the lazy susan where the canisters are bumping into the wall, you might try round containers. Depending on where you live, you might be able to buy more items in bulk (cereals, pastas), this would cut down on filling up the recycle bin and you can also see how much is left. A free solution I use in my pantry are gallon jars. Many places are happy to give them to you (sandwich shops, deli counter at grocery stores, even restaurants). I enjoyed your "marathon." Although, I'm a bit ahead of your journey, I feel like I have miles to go!! I am motivated! Thank you!! This year 2024 my word is "DECLUTTER." Best to you in 2024. :)

[@everydaykiva6377]

I don't know whether the bike lock you threw in the trash was usable or not (I was cleaning the cat litter box and listening) but I like to think of stealthy ways to pass things forward. A bike lock would be great to set out on a middle school bike rack section. Some disappear, some kids leave theirs at home, etc. Finding a lock with a "free" sign on it could put that bike lock on someone' bike and not in a landfill. I know there's not time to do that with everything, but I do have a box in the back of the car for times when I see a new place for a usable item.

[@reallifewithali]

Oh I definitely would have kept it or donated it if it worked! I didn't have the key and had no idea where it was.

Switch your recycle bin & potatoes. Put the bin horizontal under where the potatoes are & move the potato wire holder to the other shelf. The recycle bin would be easier to get to not tucked into the corner.

Are you referring to the food storage containers? These? amzn.to/492elDD I tried a few clip top containers as well and hated them. I returned them.

Enjoyed the video although I don’t understand why people feel the need of a prepper pantry. I think I’m just lucky that I don’t worry about the future & live in the present because that’s all we really have. It must be very unsettling to always feel the need to be prepared & also harder to part with stuff. It’s interesting how different we all are. Great declutter, thanks for sharing.

[@reallifewithali]

Thanks for your point of view. That is actually one of the reasons I haven’t really been stocking it up much! That being said, I do like to be somewhat prepared for any sort of disaster or emergency. I definitely don’t dwell on it though! Thanks for watching!

Now I amdrowning in inventory. we remodeled our bath for aging in place, the contractor arrived early(??!!who does that?) with his team. I nearly fainted,thought I had a week to clear out the space for the job. I was shocked at how much it was my sister had to jump in , we had to just "sling" all that crap out of their way because time is money because wer were holding things up. ended up a great project,they ended up taking 3 weeks instead of the week I was promised

Hey just sitting here watching your video and realized you have left your rings on your caning jars. I don't know if you know this but you need to take them off to store because they can look like they are sealed when they are not sealed. Look into it. Love your videos just found you.

Thank you! Yes I know about the rings. I take them off after they’ve cooled and wash both the rings and the jars. I put them back on for storage. I always check the jars are sealed when opening them. Thanks!

I donated 11 pieces of furniture some of which was furniture that was more than a 100 years old and I was glad to give a job to somebody at. Goodwill to taking my items and for sales people to sell my items enjoy those things

[@reallifewithali]

I imagine that was somewhat hard! I just sold a beautiful piece of furniture that was my grandmother’s. It was a hard decision, but it wasn’t useful for my daughter anymore and I have no room or use for it elsewhere.

My friend whom live in California uses bungee cords to hold her canning jars in place on the shelves. Hope it helps..

[@reallifewithali]

Thanks! I did end up doing that!

If/when you donate an item that needs fixing, do you do this via a local neighbourhood group or put it up for free on Facebook marketplace or something similar? I don't think it's good practice to take broken items to a donation centre.

[@reallifewithali]

Sometimes I do that. Sometimes I do take them to the donation center. You have a good point though. I probably shouldn’t!

[@samc5877]

Do you not find that having "time will tell" in a bin, means that you won't use them at all because theyre not at hand? Just feels like you might as well get rid of them straight away

[@reallifewithali]

It helps me when I’m not sure if I want to keep them. Usually the next time I go through it, I realize I don’t want it and out it goes!

[@kraesmom1]

For me, if I put my clothes in a bin elsewhere, I'll forget completely that I have them, so a time will tell doesn't work for me for clothing. I move them to the front of my closet and if I find that I'm moving them out of the way to get to the stuff I wear all the time, it goes away. lol

[@reallifewithali]

That makes sense! You need to do what works for you!
