Mudroom Declutter | Packing Party | Hoarder to Minimalist

[@MusclesandBooks]

You holding up an item with an "I can't believe I kept this around" eyebrow is always the highlight of your videos. :-D

[@THEKIDHODUNI]

I am just so blown away by your dedication and your hard working spirit! It is so easy to stick with something for a short time but you are still at it working hard. I think you're doing an amazing job!

[@MessyMinimalist]

Thank you :) I'm definitely determined to achieve my goal on this one. I still have so far to go, but I know now how doable this is. Just takes sticking with it, like you said. :) Take care!

[@crazycoco313]

Maybe you should invite a bunch of friends over who have trucks and/or trailers and provide pizza or beer for them to help load up your garage and drop it off! You could really knock a lot of it out that way!

[@HecticSophie]

You're so right about furniture being an opportunity to hold more clutter. I've been decluttering and emptied whole chests of drawers out of just junk.

[@MessyMinimalist]

gah - those drawers can be killers. Yep, we agreed that we're not 'responsible' enough to have furniture with surfaces... it just collects stuff, every time. ;-)

[@Anni28051996]

That's why I selled some furniture after decluttering so I don't have a place to put lots of new stuff in

[@shawnacoon]

I find myself going over areas and items that I have already decluttered and pulling out even more items that I was planning on keeping. It's like I need time to think about how I don't need it.

[@AkS143joyful]

I love The Minimalist podcast and listen to their new episode weekly. It is so refreshing, so is YOUR videos. I adore them. Everytime I get more motivated to purge. What peace!

[@erinsterland9981]

When we moved 2 and a half years ago, I got rid of a lot, but a lot more unnecessary stuff moved with us. I'm a "what if" kind of person. I'd ask "what if we had a party and I needed those platters, glasses, mugs, random kitchen item" so we implemented the black dot system. If it was not something I'd used often I put a black dot on it. I'd remove the dot if we used it. Several items have been used since and are now in a more frequent rotation. Many other items are sitting at the top of the cupboard out of reach. This reminds me to take them to a donation spot.

[@machellebrown5775]

I am so blown away at the amount of stuff you have to get rid of. You are so young and have so much stuff. I am currently purging and pretending I am moving and if I would not take it to a new house then out they go! You inspire me with each new video. I have turned my very messy sister on to your videos and she has done a few closets and cabinets. Thanks

[@ANNtique]

The minimalists are awesome!

[@allisonmiller3148]

your videos are really what inspired me to get my house in order. I'm still in the beginning phases & I'm having some major push back from my family, but I'm working through my own junk first & hopefully when they see how great it is, they'll be more receptive to it all

[@MessyMinimalist]

that's awesome to hear! I'm so glad I could help inspire you. I bet your family will start to see the positive changes that are happening as a result of what you're doing. Some of my family (extended) doesn't fully understand what I'm doing either. In fact... I think they are JUST now starting to realize I'm not crazy... that this is actually making me a more balanced/calm person!

[@brendamontanye9877]

Actually, I thought that little kiss at the end was so sweet. It let me know that your husband was supportive and encouraging. It would be difficult to be doing all this on your own :)

[@Elemiriel]

My husband was a little put off by the idea at first but after a few months he got used to it and became my best supporter! He still isn't as minimal as I am, but that's ok!

[@maghouinbeg5011]

My understanding of a 'packing party' is when you physically remove items from one room (or a whole house) and over a given space of time gradually bring back the items you want/need. This isn't the same as boxing things up and donating them, although that's very good! I've taken down the cooking utensils from a wire mesh hanger in the kitchen and have stored them in the walk-in pantry. As I need/want an item I retrieve it. At the end of the month, I'll look at the things we haven't retrieved and most likely get rid of them.

[@MessyMinimalist]

Your understanding is right (or at least that's what I learned as well). I took a very extreme deviation, by convincing myself that I was just packing things (or moving them) to storage, but instead I just got them OUT. :) But you're right. :)

[@HosCreates]

I would use the tote bags for groceries! That cuts back on your plastic bags that come into your house that clutter up ! Leave them in your car and you'll never forget them or by the door!

[@AceVonS]

I find inspiration from your videos. I have very little energy left after work, so I just end up on the couch reading or watching TV. All the while the stuff I have just sits there and makes me feel bad. I started getting rid of stuff a while back and it's going slowly. You give me hope and inspiration.

[@MessyMinimalist]

I'm glad. :) And I understand about feeling so pooped a lot of them time - that can be hard to overcome. Sometimes, I just have to let a day be a bust (lay around, veg out), but then wake up the next day with a game plan. I find I'm way more motivated and (even find energy) when it's planned. Good luck!!

[@AceVonS]

Thanks. I will tackle this, but it will take time. But it's hard when I am so emotionally attached to so many things. I think Toy Story has ruined my generation. :D Everything has feelings, even old broken toys.

[@AceVonS]

I often use this same method. I reward myself for doing stuff hat I don't like doing like the dishes for example. Yesterday I went through my cleaning cabinet and now i know what I have, what I need and where everything is. I like that feeling.

[@purplesky001]

Ace Von S huh, that's interesting. I'm probably a similar age to you, I grew up with toy story. I was trying to figure out why I don't mind all that much any more. I think it's because I adopted konmaris system of realising that if an item feels anything it feels really neglected if I'm not using it.

[@AlexxWretched]

One thing that really really helped me to find all the extra hidden guilt items was to figure out one thing i've always really wanted, and to compare everything I own to this item, selling what I don't want. I ended up very quickly finding the cash for the gamecube I've wanted for a very long time. I had already 'completed' my declutter about 8 months ago, but lo and behold, hidden things! Of course this doesn't work for everyone but it was a relatively new strategy to me that I really want to share because I personally found it worked GREAT!

[@traceyt4580]

My favorite thing in this video and in life is getting stuff out of the house immediately! Early on I packed three boxes and stacked them by my front door, I used it as a perfect place to rest my purse and coat for about 3 months lol GET IT GONE!!

[@ellenjay6804]

I'm going to be sad when your house is all decluttered!

[@MessyMinimalist]

haha! You guys will have to give me some other video ideas for when I'm finally done!

[@sarahm2491]

Chalkboard Witties I never thought of that...what will I do!?

[@sarahm2491]

Messy Minimalist you should make videos on how to maintain a clean house.

[@avantikasharma9333]

You inspire me to be more active, I dusted my whole house while watching this video. I like the fact that yours is not the typical channel where everything happens according to the fads, it is a real journey and so it remains individualistic. So glad to hear that parts of your house have now been decluttered and it's hard to find extra stuff...its BIG news!!

[@purplesky001]

Avantika Sharma how to gyst has some similar videos, but with a lilting Irish accent and some more broader scope on getting organised.

[@ANNtique]

I totally agree. The more surfaces I have in my house - the more places we put stuff down. Have you considered taking down the lattice pot rack in your kitchen?

[@MessyMinimalist]

YES! :-D We haven't figured out where to put our pots and pans yet, but once we get a rack in a cupboard (or something), we're going to take it down. :)

[@AZHITW]

Bravo! The furniture purge was awesome. I own 4 totes, they hang upside down on an ACCO clip in my entry closet until I take them to the grocery store, that 5¢ deducted from my grocery bill when I use my own tote makes my inner Ebenezer Scrooge heart soar. As for clutter on surfaces, I live in Arizona where dust settles on furniture continuously, so I only allow 3 items on a flat surface because that all my lazy a$$ is willing to move when I dust.

[@jademcarthur]

Since the summer tends to pull us in other directions, I needed to find a way to stay motivated and on track with my decluttering. I came up with #Top 5. I just try and get rid of 5 items a day. I base it on a 5-day cycle, so by the end of it I know 25 items are leaving my life and space. That helped to bring my focus back into things and tackle bigger areas that I was feeling overwhelmed with.Your journey is wonderful to watch :)

[@darleneh608]

That's a great idea for a way to attack a problem area. It's so easy to get overwhelmed when you look at an overstuffed garage or basement, for instance. But anyone can find five things to get rid of, and that gives plenty of progress over time, without having to make it a big project for all at once.

[@GallifreyRambles]

This came at just the right time! I've been feeling really just slow and unmotivated with my clearout. I'm clearing out the house I grew up in. My mom was a collector, my dad didn't have too much, but now it's just me, and the place belonged to my mom since the mid 1960s. I lost my mom in 2014, next week marks 3 years. It's not even that I'm attached to a lot of it, but I know I plan to move, so it's more like every bit of progress that I make, while great, leads me to parting with the place I called home and had a lot of memories in, and is like closing a chapter, but it's not the same place, as the people that made it home are gone. Anyway, thank you for sharing your journey, ideas, and progress!

[@kirstensanford5949]

I love the bits where you hold stuff up like "why do I even have this" lol

[@mtclimber109]

I love seeing your house and mind becoming less and less cluttered with every video. I feel like I can almost feel you breathing easier at the end of each video. This process is clearly working some magic so just keep on going and keep finding new fun ways to go through your stuff and implement new clutter-free habits.

[@msl5131]

GREAT JOB-I feel better just watching & I admire your vulnerability (and realize you're well along your journey where it has become easier as you go along) but it's worth saying. I also realize you are fed up & it makes it so much easier to rid of stuff. Me? I would hold onto that gold thingy, thinking it was important. I literally HATE this about myself & feel like I'm never going to make progress. Paralysis by analysis.

[@MessyMinimalist]

Hah, I feel ya. And like you said, it really is easier now than it's ever been... so you'll get there too! But paralysis by analysis is right. Honestly, I fall into various states of paralysis all the time (decision paralysis is a big one) so sometimes I just force myself to "DO" and not think so much. A little scary at times, but it works! :) Good luck!

[@rebannparo08]

After college I did a multi-state move every year (two of which were completely across the country!) so I kept my stuff to a minimum and it was amazing. I didn't keep anything that wasn't useful or what I loved. I have been in one area for two years and just made the decision that I'll be doing another big move in a year. I looked around at what I'll have to pack and then took several trips of stuff to donate! That might be a good way for people to get in the mindset. Even if you're not moving, pretend you are and get rid of what you wouldn't want to take. Also, I have a donation bin in the top of my closet and can throw things in it without having them visible. Then, when it's full, just donate it without looking through it.

[@cherylruhr6001]

I have been watching you and have been inspired to do a sort of packing party while I am getting updated flooring. I have to stay ahead of the installer by moving everything out of every room. I am purging before I put it back! And yay no more vinyl and shag!

[@kristinrobinson774]

2 brooms for the car and one for the house. That way you don't have to dig it out of the car before you can start to clear the cars. I love your videos! Thanks for the inspiration!!

[@chelseag191]

Rachel you are a testament of once a person starts getting rid of things, it gets easier and easier. You have arrived girl! You're on it! Jean from Arizona

[@ericsvideos1]

Because of your vids I have cleaned and decluttered my home!!!!!!!!! Thank you!

[@VanessaLStrada]

Good work girl!! You make the best face when you're thinking, "Seriously, self?!" Lol!! You crack me up

[@amanda5nicole]

Love yours and the minimalists' videos. It's helped. Me get rid of 29 garbage bags and boxes of stuff. Can't believe all the junk that was in the house. Thanks!!

[@beccacoleman498]

"this one is looking slightly more primitive" I'm not sure why but I was laughing out loud at that comment! another wonderfully entertaining and motivating video! I love you vids because you're so real in them....there is nothing in them that isn't real and true...LIFE. REAL LIFE

I just cannot wait for you to count all the coins you find wherever in the house 😂

[@MessyMinimalist]

oh gosh me too...! we could probably take a trip with all the $$$!

You'll let us know hahaha

[@Paige-zr6pn]

Messy Minimalist still curious, did you keep the change aside?

[@carolreece9950]

Rachael, I just have to know- how did you ever accumulate so much stuff ? I do love you videos - I just get a bit amazed 😄😄😄♥️😚

[@kristinablocher4318]

I love that feeling when your like hey I don't have much to get rid of in this room anymore. I only have my garage left but I still find one or two things every so often to purge. I just love going on this journey with you. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Phoenix-uy7nm]

Anytime I'm feeling lazy or lacking motivation to clean/organize/purge, I watch one of your videos. It does the trick every time! :)

[@MessyMinimalist]

lol, I should try that sometime! ;-)

[@ashleyboudville7086]

Yay! Great to see another video. So satisfying to watch, well done for all your hard work and your right about surfaces attracting clutter. It looks so beautiful where you live!

[@jpeffley152]

The Minimalists' podcast is how I found you! love your videos!

[@MessyMinimalist]

oh? Which episode? I'm curious!

[@jpeffley152]

Messy Minimalist, from the beginning, episodes 1-4! Your video was on the side and just your name made me think I could relate! You've made the packing party make sense!

[@rebeccablack6659]

That little moment at the end was adorable💙👌🏽

[@BudgetGirl]

you had some beautiful pieces, but i'm so glad you are being ruthless and knowing what will bring you joy! Huge congrats on your amazing progress!

[@leezasims1644]

Yay.... Rachel you did a bit of gardening at the end 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ezcuchame]

R videos always get me in a purging mood. After I’m done watching I always walk around the house looking for stuff. 😁 thank you for making these videos 💛💛💛

[@megsandbacon23]

I love watching your videos and your journey, I don't live on my own right now, but watching you go through your home gives me hope for my pack rat family, that they'll understand what I'm doing with my things one day and figure out a way to let go of their unnecessary and unwanted things.

[@sylvana-7247]

I always listen to your older videos in the background when I am decluttering or cleaning my room. I love the content you make and you are very inspiring. ☘️

[@MessyMinimalist]

Thank you!

[@ambercunningham5693]

I do this too 😊

[@AndreaJKAPU]

I love tote bags. Speaking of your packing party, I have so many that the last time I moved, I moved using tote bags, suitcases, and 3 still-boxed medium-sized boxes! Since I can't carry more than about 20-30lbs per arm, and at that time I was in a walking cast, the amount of stuff (books, linens, office supplies, dishes wrapped in towels, etc) that fits in a bag is just about perfect. It also meant that things fit better in the car, as bags varied in size and shape, and could get stuffed in an opening in which a box would never fit. I plan to do this each time in the future, which will help me keep my belongings more in control. (I moved using a compact car (Honda) and made it in about 4-5 trips. And just a single load in a borrowed pickup for the futon couch, standing lamp, bike, shelves, and a couple large plastic containers & misc. larger things my friend with the truck could help lift.)

[@trailertrish]

When I started going through my minimalism journey I started packing stuff up in boxes to give to people and people kept saying "oh I want it! but I don't feel like coming to get it." so I finally just said f it and went and donated it. Weight off my shoulders.

[@Marginallist]

You make very hard house chores look so easy to do. God bless you

[@radioserrelind]

4:35 or so -- brings back memories of being a page in the library, assigned to Children's for the day... sweatdrops all around!

[@janetpostell7195]

Wow! The stuff is neverending! I love to see you get rid of stuff. Sweet kiss from hubby! Love the terrarium.

[@allisons324]

motivating! keep it up. two years ago I went room to room and decluttered. Now I always keep a bag to put donations in. When we clean I always say if anything doesn't fit, you don't love it, or you don't use it let's give it to someone who will. I am happy that my kids have no problem giving things away they no longer love. I grew up in so much clutter, that it took me a long time to realize I have less stress when we have less things!

[@donnawyatt5871]

So pleased to see a new video from you, seems like ages. I admire that your still making an effort to stay minimalist and listening to you tell how you come about your decisions. Keep at it and I'll keep watching as will many others xXx

[@CaroliineCrayon]

I always love to watch your videos, always gives me a boost to get up and do something as you always make such a big difference in your house. I've fallen behind lately on getting rid of things and sorting stuff out, after watching this I'm sat here like "go on, get up, go do something!"

[@lu.ciel8770]

I bought my first home and while I'm waiting for it to get built I've been getting rid of so many things. Once I move in I want to be sure to have only what is essential. You've really inspired me!

[@kreestina1789]

You're doing great - keep up the good work! I used to be very bad at putting stuff away - I would just set it down wherever I was. Then I learned that it takes 2-3 times as much energy to put stuff in the wrong place, and I started following OHIO - Only Handle It Once. So if I pick something up and use it, it should then immediately go to its home. What I've learned about myself is that if I don't have a home for something and give it a "temporary" home, it never gets a home and turns into clutter. I'm trying my best to give it a home immediately if it's something that I use or brings me joy, otherwise get rid of it. Still a work in progress!!

[@MessyMinimalist]

Great tip! :) Putting things 'in their homes' is always so hard for me. I'm way better than I used to be, but still slip on it A LOT.

[@CalmVibesVee]

Girl, I am so happy for you ! Find your own happy minimalism : ) I am amazed at how the different phases of letting go of stuff manifest into our goals coming to fruit!!! I cheer you on! Keep going hun! Your doing it!

[@prescillastoyanova]

Could you please do a full house tour? From your videos we already have kind of seen it but it will be nice to see how it looks like at that point of your journey :) I do love your videos and am very thankful that you are so real and not afraid to expose your true face in front of everybody.

[@RawrItsStarz]

I began watching your videos towards the beginning of your minimalism journey and seeing all the progress you're making is really inspiring. It's a wonderful and freeing feeling to let go of the clutter and watch your space grow and evolve into something to feel proud of and content in. Keep up the good work! :)

[@NulliusInVerba8]

I can see how you improved over the decluttering process .. you are an inspiration xx

[@katarinad84]

Hi Rachel, I have been a subscriber for a while and I've watched every single video. It's just incredible how far you've come!! True inspiration! Xox from Ohio

[@MessyMinimalist]

Hi Katarina! Thanks for following along for so long :) Things are definitely getting better/easier/more exciting! Take care!

[@keyisme1356]

Good job putting that terrarium together and put away!!! Looks great!

[@IdahoTricia]

You are not alone with the tote bags. You described me!!

[@jayathome2898]

Rachel you are always so open and honest in your videos. A few suggestions if you don't mind.You seem like you could benefit from a kindle or nook going forward. Also I have a great seasonal suggestion-- only use real items that way you don't store anything. i.e.--boughs at xmas, a real small tree that you can start a xmas tree forest on your property, popcorn and cranberry garland, baked cookie ornaments. If you challenge yourself I bet you could make your home and hotel look amazing, with bunches of grasses, cattails, sunflower heads fresh and dried. Your daughter could help you gather and plan as part of your new family tradition of no commercial stuff holidays, including lots of homemade art of course. Last year I only had votive candles and pine boughs on our mantel and it looked amazing. (of course my kids are grown up) So if you wanted to have a few small things you could put them out, but maybe decide first how big a storage container you would like to have for a specific season. So for example--I want to have a storage container about the size of two shoe boxes for Xmas. Now that you have pre-determined the amount of storage you want, put only the things that will fit into it and have the rest of the decorations be real things made each year. It's the reverse of saying, what items spark joy and saving those. First I'm saying how much of my personal space am I willing to give to storage of stuff, and then only keeping what fits into that space. It's like a reverse mindset! And it works. I told each of my grown kids that I would store "x" amount of space for their childhood treasures, and they both filled up their containers, and we donated the rest. I also gave them some say on how large a container they wanted, and both chose a box about the size of a bankers box. And one shared box for favourite books. Lastly here's an idea for a mindset of storing things. I like to shop, but not to bring home items. I also like Macy's. So I think of Macys as my personal storage closet. It has everything I need. If I ever truly need to replace or bring home an item, I can, but otherwise it stays in my "storage" place. I can go try on clothes, or sample perfume, or look at towels, and I know that when I need it, I could go get it. But I don't have to pay to store it, and my house stays clutter free!! :) Sorry for rambling, I hope any of that helps.

[@744519g]

i love the way you film your decluttering videos!

[@julie-laurebernard3278]

I'm back to watching KZbin videos after 3 weeks of holidays and your video is the first one that I wanted to watch because I love your channel!! :) Thank you for your great content!

[@lesliecharette4217]

Love your video's. On point, honest, and realistic with charm, lol!

[@MessyMinimalist]

Thank you!! :)

[@rociomonserratt346]

i love to watch these videos, so inspirational 👌🏼😊. you can’t not be motivated after watching this!

[@shantedewise7345]

So proud of your purging!!

[@robbien.3964]

I was going to get up this morning and work on our guest room closet, but then I realized that takes energy, so here I am watching you declutter rather than working on my own decluttering. 😊

[@MessyMinimalist]

haha, the ultimate procrastination! Hopefully you feel inspired afterwards... even just to chip away for a few minutes. ;-)

[@robbien.3964]

Messy Minimalist Well, I think the guest room closet is probably going to have to wait for about a month. However, during the course of my day, I did find two old tickets that could be discarded and three tops to donate, for a total of five things out of my house. Celebrate the small victories!

[@vbetta8979]

Shoes, shoes, shoes. I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to see your mudroom. I thought it was just me who has a shoe problem. Family takes off shoes and they just pile up by the door, haphazard. If you find a solution that looks good and is easy, ie, the rest of your family actually uses it, please do a video on that. Shoe mess is a huge problem for me. I tried to take all "town shoes" away and only leave "outside" shoes by the door, the ones we use everyday... But still. Mess. 'specially my husband's because he seems to want all his shoes by the door and his take up the most room. And I hear ya on covering every available table top and bench. Your videos have made a big difference for me and I am much more organized now amd really trying to keep countertops clear. So thank you!

[@talliepainter]

So impressed with you! That's awesome! And impressed by all of that furniture you had "hidden away" haha

[@NikkiSchumacherOfficial]

You popped in my mind today. Hope all is well! I can surely understand why you may have needed a break!

[@JiaRuAu]

I'm moving out of the country and this is the perfect opportunity for me to do this!

When my family moved into our new apartment in a different state, I found a perfectly good wooden table, but only three Windsor chairs, all black. All it needs is a coat of paint. Of course, for now I just throw a tablecloth on it!! lol

[@MsDesertStar]

I totally did the same kind of furniture detox this week. It must have been in the air. Great job!

[@melissakenealy8868]

Love the idea of a packing party. Will have to give that a try. I do seem to struggle with the sparking joy thing though. I have done it with my clothes but even though I have kept things that sparked joy I found I still wasn't wearing them so I have embarked on the capsule wardrobe concept. Could be something that might interest you Rachel. PS always love seeing that you have posted a new video. You are inspiring because everything you say and do people can relate to.

[@Val_MH]

Great job! Seeing your before & after mudroom made me feel good. Watching your progress inspires me!! TFS. I just subscribed. Aloha from Hawaii, Valerie :)

[@MessyMinimalist]

haha, thanks! and yes, anytime on Instagram! that might be my fav social media 'hangout'. See you around! :)

[@xwinoxrhinox]

My husband and I just moved and this is pretty much what we have been doing. We've unpacked all the stuff we know we will use and everything else is staying in boxes so we can see what we actually end up pulling out and using. It's been working great so far!

[@purplesky001]

xwinoxrhinox just make sure you don't throw it away without going through it a little, or making sure that you have for example vital, hard-to-replace paperwork. Birth, death, marriage certificates and passports or visas come to mind. I've heard that some people do that, just chuck boxes without looking, and then find themselves in a mess.

[@withyoctopus]

Seeing a new video of yours makes me so happy :D I also love the minimalists podcast.

I moved 6months ago and I tried to do this as I was unpacking, and the previous owner also left some stuff and I just put things as a holding area in the living room and periodically take things to Goodwill since I'm not missing any of that stuff.

Oh nice! Well maybe you can do the TRUE packing party (AKA, only unpack what you need over a few weeks, then donate the rest) :) Good luck!!
