⚡️ Maximalist to Minimalist | FINAL GARAGE Declutter | Pt. 2 !!

[@ceasewatercolorarts]

"Maybe it's about growing your own grass and making it as green as you can make it." I had to go back and listen to that again. Thank you Rachel for taking us along with you.

[@MessyMinimalist]

You're welcome, and thank you for sticking it out with me. :-)

[@kaitlincyr]

@@MessyMinimalist I wrote it down. Great words to live by. I've been following you through your entire journey and have taken a lot away from your videos. :)

[@cathrynbagley8005]

Yes, so did I - I'm definitely going to steal that phrase !

[@RachaelLines]

loved this sentiment,

[@HowToGYST]

I was so invested in the process that I actually feel a sense of personal satisfaction. Ha ha.

[@Blaire_Shoe]

Oh hey, my favorite Irish KZbinr 👋 The feeling when someone you've been watching hits a milestone is pretty spectacular. She will not be limited to cluttered space of a messy garage- she will transform it! She HAS transformed it! So excited for her to be able to make a functional living area where once lived mess.

[@MessyMinimalist]

Hey!! Long time no chat! How are you doing dear?! I'm glad you feel that sense of accomplishment, lol - I'm more than happy to share. :-D

[@amara560]

I'm so freaking proud of you!! I remember your first garage videos. The garage was jampacked with odds and ends on rows and rows of shelves. You've come such a long way! The before picture isn't even the before of years ago. Really you did such a wonderful job :)

[@mercurialpierrot7073]

My dad was a hoarder. And my childhood friend's parents were hoarders. No matter where I was as a child it was in a horded environment. I am now a home owner and I am realizing that I don't need so much stuff. I have held on to things I seriously don't need due to life trama...which is exactly what my parents did. I am definitely NOT in hoarding territory, but my spaces definitely aren't as intentional as I need them to be. I don't know if I can be a minimalist, but I can strive to be clean and put together.

[@mommah315]

Your silly moments at the end of the videos are always my favorite! "Elastigirl!!" hahahahaha!

[@MessyMinimalist]

Hehe, thanks for sticking around to the end!!

[@EricaLucasLoves]

I find the shots of your trash can motivating. Is that weird? You’ve done that in other videos. I like it!!

[@carolswinney3022]

Been watching from the beginning. All the weird faces, brackets, picture frames, coins, figurines...lol. I am so proud of y’all. What a huge transformation!

[@MessyMinimalist]

Thank you for watching for so long. Take care! :-)

[@darleneh608]

Impressive progress. It's my belief that it's easier to make progress on a decluttering project when you have a specific goal for the space. Not just "make it less full or less messy," but more like "turn the room into a den" or ""delete 50% of the contents before moving and downsizing." Because that makes it easier to tell whether you're achieving your goal and gives you an incentive to keep going. Regarding decision fatigue, one way to help prevent it is to make some decisions ahead of time. For example, "when I clean out the garage, if I find tools, I will keep one of each type and discard duplicates." Or, "I will only keep gardening decorations if they are shaped like butterflies and in excellent condition." The more decisions you can pre-make, the easier to just execute your plan, rather than having to weigh and consider each item.

[@peronne17]

What you said about growing your own grass really spoke to me. Your garage is looking amazing! I can't wait to see your next update.

[@MessyMinimalist]

We're excited to keep working on the space too. Walls, flooring.. then getting cozy and enjoying. :) ty

[@lisahamilton1454]

I started watching you about three weeks ago and I’m hooked. I’ve started on my room, a few drawers at a time a bookshelf at a time. I am not stressing myself out about it and I’m just working at a pace that suits me. But you’ve really inspired me. I’m 58 years old, taking care of my elderly mother, and also sharing the home with my brother’s family, all seven of them. I am on a mission to do what I can for myself and for my mom. And I think my brother is starting to also feel the need to make some changes. He’s working on the garage which is primarily his stuff. And I’m hoping as time goes on the rest of the family will follow. It’s a struggle with littles that have dealt with family trauma to let go of their “stuff”. Hoarder mentality kicks in when there has been an insecure family dynamic from birth. Thank God that things are coming around in that situation. So onward I go and thank you so much for your sunny and real videos. May God bless you and your lovely family 😊💖👍🙏

[@brendamontanye9877]

early on in this video you said, "cluttered decisions". That's the space I am in now. Pretty much every thing I touch, in my "too much", requires a decision. So many decisions. So many muddled decisions, not clear cut yes or no, then carrying out the decision is it's own muddle. At the end of the day, I wish that my step counter counted decisions.

[@amara560]

That would be such an interesting idea to use your podometer that way! It would make you really think

[@zabm3502]

When I can't make decisions but need to get stuff done I find sorting things into like piles useful. Putting all my tools together, actual garbage, any recycling, papers to deal with later or any categories that fit your space. Sometimes decisions become clear and sometimes they don't and both are ok. Take a break and it'll be easier next time you tackle it because you'll know what you have.

[@inspiteofbecauseof4745]

Decision fatigue is a real thing. Take breaks and put the I don’t knows in their own category and find one thing you can make decision about and keep going. Take a before and after picture of your progress even after 20 minutes.

[@brendamontanye9877]

@@inspiteofbecauseof4745 This is great :) I actually did some of this today. We had a boiler go down at Christmas and it ended up that we had frozen pipes and then big puddles in rooms. One room was the office. I took everything that was in the way out and put it on my kitchen table. I have been going after that mess for more than a month. I am down to one big box. I don't do it full time because I value my mental health, ha. Some of the stuff gets burned in the cookstove which is fun. Some gets put away. And some is found treasure! What is left is mostly "I don't knows" but often I solve it when I am doing other things. Every day I gain a big more of my large table back again.

[@Lisawhatshersname]

@@brendamontanye9877 sometimes those household disasters are a blessing in disguise! Glad you could see it that way and getting all back to better than " normal"😁

[@amyb1710]

I bet that was satisfying. I took a week off work last summer & cleaned out 12 years of clutter from our attic. When we moved in we just dumped the contents of 2 teenagers bedrooms up there & carried on buying stuff to fill our new house. Added to that was 10 years worth of our own child’s no longer needed belongings. Now it only contains Christmas, suitcases and few sentimental items. Felt amazing and it should have been done long before. Although no matter how much I dejunk from the rest of our home, it still feels full. So I will often do your 10 item declutter. Thanks for making the videos

[@MessyMinimalist]

Nice, I LOVE a good staycation where you can chip away at a goal. Good work :)

[@WriterOfMany]

I'm so so proud of you guys! The garage is completely different--night and day! Dark, cluttered, can't walk through and you just go NOPE and close the door. Now it's freshly painted white walls and sunlight streaming through the window. I am just so so proud!

[@EricaLucasLoves]

I loved this one. Your thoughts are thought provoking. Very motivating video!

[@dorothyelizabeth1559]

Regarding recycling and decision fatigue - I’m not proud of myself - a couple of times I lost it and just emptied stuff into the waste bin, not bothering to check what was in the box and whether I could sell or recycle or donate, it’s just you sometimes get to that stage where you think “oh I can’t be bothered, I’m just fed up”. Thankfully we learn to take a step back and leave it for another day. It happens, we’re not bad people. Love your new den!!

[@MessyMinimalist]

I FEEL YOU. 100%. (I actually did a video about this, calling it a 'rage purge'). Even then, I didn't fully emphasize the shameful parts of just throwing stuff away, but I do believe that sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Just like you said, I'm not proud either! But honestly, for my mental health, there were days I JUST. NEEDED. IT. GONE. ...Good luck to you! :)

[@anamcdowell9478]

I love your channel. I'm not a big fan of KZbin music but you still have asmr background that is very calming to me. You have a very zen-like vibe I really enjoy. Thank you.

[@MessyMinimalist]

:) I'm glad you still enjoy it. I struggle between finding balance between music (which in my day to day life, I love), and keeping things calm and focused.

[@MsPants1632]

Love this!!! Why do I love decluttering and watching other people declutter soooo much?!?! 🤣

[@sydneykatejones]

Hahaha I’m so glad my husband and I aren’t the only people that turn everything into a song 😂 Great video as always!

[@MessyMinimalist]

haha - YUP! That's basically our life, every day! Keeps things fun :-D

[@silviathiemann688]

Same here! Most of our songs are Odes to our dog.... normal, right? :-D

[@alandisjohnson]

I’m a long term minimalist, and you are SO RIGHT....this process of decluttering and minimizing is a long one that really doesn’t end. But the mindset that you talk about, as well as recognizing the decision fatigue is real and hard. I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks, and I wanted to tell you that you are one of my favorite and REAL KZbin channels. It’s been so refreshing to watch you learn and grow over the course of these years since you started. Bravo on getting your garage cleaned out! Keep going!

[@MessyMinimalist]

Thank you!

[@mariannedressler6784]

Hahaha love accountabilitabuddies!! Love your ending... you guys are funny! Garage is looking phenomenal 🙌

[@maureenbullis1805]

Do it for yourself. Such great advice because it’s easy to blame others, but if they don’t care about it and you are the one who wants it clean, then just do it for yourself!!

[@CaptainSallyPoo]

I love watching your videos! Thank you for putting the time and effort into making them! It's so fun to see how you've changed and I love the little bit about growing your own grass. I'd like to add that maybe when we are growing our grass, we want to plant some flowers or herbs and then realize that we never actually wanted grass at all! 😂😂 Oh my gosh, I love this analogy so much!

[@rain_and_daisies]

Holy cow Rachel, it looks SO GOOD!! I'm crazy proud of you. Way to keep going and stick with this!

[@MessyMinimalist]

Thank you! Now the final part. Making a wall, flooring...trimming.... enjoying...eeee! :D

[@simplesgood7694]

The white in the garage looks amazing!! Did you ever think you’d see that. You guys have made so much progress!! Perpetually “Messy” for short. Sometimes life is just not fair!! Man!!!🤦‍♀️

[@MissVasques]

I so happy for You to finally have weeded out and decluttered the piles upon piles of stuff you had in there before. All the lesson learned about yourself along the way is priceless.

[@tnmingle]

I so love the saying of growing our own grass and making as green as we can! Sooooo true! We need to start doing us and stop comparing ourselves to others! And stop trying to have what others have! Thanks for that! So needed that today! 😘

[@MessyMinimalist]

Have a great day!

[@christineshultz7615]

No lie I'd love to see your final trash, recycling and other piles. Hoarders heart is on the same journey documenting on KZbin. Every clean out she shows what's leaving. So inspiring. Proud of you and her for taking the journey.

[@MessyMinimalist]

I used to show more of that in the declutter videos. I'll try to highlight those things more :)

[@Rattanamongkhoune]

Hi Rachel! Great video! Painting the area you finished decluttering is awesome - like it shows its complete. And thank you!!! for including footage of the process during the audible ad. It felt more natural than most in video ads!

[@MessyMinimalist]

Oh, thanks for this comment. I'm always trying to find ways to make ads more tolerable, especially since there are so few ways to make a living with youtube OTHER than ads! It helps partnering with companies that I actually like and support. Thanks for watching :)

I'm in the process of unpacking after moving in December still and I'm downsized by 200 square feet, a whole bedroom, and an attic so I got rid of so much stuff already.. and now there is more. I hit a wall of exhaustion and decision fatigue yesterday and then you posted this today. Maybe I'm just tired but this made me tear up and got me motivated to keep going. I must keep the vision in mind when I'm deciding what to get rid of. This video couldn't have come at a better day. ❤

[@Blaire_Shoe]

Good luck! It feels so good to be completely unpacked in your new space! You're saving future-you a lot of stress and trouble by taking care of everything! ❤ Take breaks and don't worry about finishing it all in one go, but keep working on it a little every day so that you know you're making progress.

I've been watching these videos for a while. I love how much wisdom is in there (for example, the avalanche effect from earlier). It's a lot trial and error, and learning from it. The editing has really improved over the years too. This video in particular has also almost a movie feeling to it.

[@lisam7036]

Great video I have a messy bedroom that has been a dumping ground for years. I go in, try and declutter give up and repeat. Thanks for sharing your garage. Now I know there is hope for me.

[@this_hive]

A little late to the party, but I’m here! The comment that got to me the most was your description of decision fatigue and how delaying decisions is procrastination. I’ve always thought of myself as a procrastinator and it has such a negative connotation to it. It always beat me down. But when you think of it as “I’m delaying making a decision” or “don’t delay this decision” then it doesn’t feel so heavy on the heart. From now on I’ll work more on this, and the new mantra will be “don’t delay decisions!” Thanks :)

Well done, Rachel & Dan ! Wow ! Haha i was up til 4 a.m. last night doing a POST MoVE closet declutter ! Whaahhht ? I just moved ... so why did my closets need a purge ??? I downsized from a 2 bedroom w “office” , attic space , & hall space, to a sweet 1 bedroom. Lots of purging has happened. Still more to go but I’m stubborn about keeping my books & CDs ( tho i have donated lots!) . And lastly ( ugh!) papers! Apparently, I think a home should be part library haha ?! Or museum, even ? Oy ! But I’ve come a looooong way! Have gone to donation place several xs in last couple months, which is good ! Anyway ... 20 more clothing items are off for new adventures now !

Awesome work! It was so satisfying to see a “messy” garage transform like that! Way to go girl! ☺️

[@tundeterez]

I have resentment for following the KonMari method. I let go of a lot of things because at the time it didn't bring me "joy" and now I regret it because those things I need now! I let my logic be silenced by my feelings at the time, my instincts were telling me I shouldn't be guided by a gimmick. Maybe I was looking for an outside source to be the guide on the decisions I was fatigued about, I don't know. I've learned though, it is best to purge when your brain is most energetic and to be creative when you brain is most tired, a tired brain has less inhibition. You quantify the journey in the most relatable way for me, thank you for all the motivation you give me!

[@TheDessertPlease]

I remember when you started and it's so great to see this - such an inspiration and really enjoy your narrative to the videos!

I really love the introduction, it looks just like a movie, with all those leafs falling down, the wind and all that. I’m so glad you’re finishing your garage. Of course that this video inspired me because I’m decluttering my basement too, it’s taking me more time then I expected but I won’t stop until I finished it 👍🏻

[@Rebecca-ld9mu]

You are SO motivating! Not just in decluttering (I've been fairly minimalistic since I was a teenager) but the first two minutes (that's as far as I've watched before I had to stop) applies to other journeys! Sometimes you get so lost in the little details of things you need to do that you can lose sight of the goal, as well as enjoying your life in the process. Okay, off to watch the rest now! I've been here for so long. Can't wait to see how it turns out!!

[@MessyMinimalist]

Thank you for pausing to comment! I'm glad you feel that way - I agree! I think a lot of what we learn from decluttering and minimizing our lives does crossover to other aspects. I guess that means we're growing. :)

I’m a struggling minimalist wannabe... well now an extreme minimalist... aesthetically in style, I don’t want my house to look like the inside of an empty igloo, like some minimalist houses look.. but I am overwhelmed by stuff, and I can’t find stuff that I know that I have... in fact stuff that I just used the previous day... and I have multiple things just because I buy something cause I can’t find the original one... or two... or three... like flat head screwdrivers... I must have 10 of those in my house! Heck, I went and bought a new cordless drill/ screwdriver, because I couldn’t find the one I already had! ( and even the one I had was a duplicate of one I already owned, but broke the other day. I guess it’s wise to own two of every tool just because one might break..(?) ok, maybe if you live in the boonies... I live 10 minutes from Lowe’s. Anyway, thank you elastigirl!
