“ Declutterring is not a project, it is a way of life.”❤ I have often spent way more than the five minutes a day knowing that’s all that was required. Gave me extra push. I have so enjoyed these days I really believe it will be a way of life from now on. One drawer, one shelf at a time. Thank you, Cass for such a wonderful month.

[@Clutterbug]

You’re so welcome!

[@deniseharrison1410]

@@primtivee9469 I’m thinking like you, that this will become a way of life for me also. Once my home is decluttered, 5 mins in each room should help in keeping the clutter away.

[@kimreed2489]

For a person with chronic illness and pain, this challenge has been SUCH a game changer!!! I'm SO excited for the new videos each day!! I've been able to keep up, and I know that continuing to do this a little at a time is manageable, and eventually, it has and will continue to make a HUGE difference. Thank you, Cas! Big wink because I think my partner is now enjoying this challenge as much as I am! He's started to declutter his crap a little at a time too, and now, we're seeing a massive change. This is the bomb! :)

[@Clutterbug]

You’re welcome!

[@ericawarren]

Now that it's been 23 days of decluttering, I'm visibly seeing a difference in my home every day and I am LOVING this! What great motivation to keep going past these 30 days. Thanks, Cas!

[@Clutterbug]

You’re welcome!

[@patriciajames7655]

I have Salvation Army coming to pick up 50 boxes I haven’t looked in in ten years. Yay.

[@Clutterbug]

Woo hoo!

[@laurie6644]

Look. Always Look First.

[@kimreed2489]

WOWZA!!!! You go, girl!!!

[@anitahouse3600]

If I could only get my packrat of a hubby to agree...... ;-)

[@LindyLouCantu]

You have such a great sense of humor and positive attitude. I would have been furious with the whole dog-sitting/Roomba fiasco! Good for you for taking it in stride and laughing about it!

[@Clutterbug]

🙂

[@anitahouse3600]

Cas, these are helping....I'm catching myself looking at drawers, closets, etc and saying "what 5 things can I get rid of". YAY! I took 2 boxes of household stuff and a big bag of clothes to donate. Double YAY!

[@Clutterbug]

Yay! I’m so proud of you!

[@shay7090]

Yay🎉

[@lubnan08]

[@lesleywilliams323]

Cass, you look so healthy today ... positively glowing

[@Clutterbug]

Thank you so much!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Cas, please don't change who you are. You always make me laugh.

[@Clutterbug]

I’m so glad!

[@sassygrannyplusakastephani4779]

I hired someone last fall to do this for, and with, me! She took one of your courses!! She was great! The more that I worked with her, the more I realized that she must have learned from you, Cas! I just had to ask her! I wasn’t surprised at where she learned her skills!!

[@Clutterbug]

❤

[@marzenagosciewska4168]

I'm honestly shocked, you're incredible, like straight out of Hollywood! You could easily make a Netflix series. You give so much inspiration and joy to people that I can't even describe it. Super natural and always full of inspiration. I love you.❤️

[@Clutterbug]

❤

[@Nick-wy2uf]

she actually already has a tv series 😅😂

[@AmandaJYoungs]

I love this series! Thank you, Cass, for giving me permission to stop at 5 minutes, because what that has done is removed guilt if that's all the time I have that day to give to this - and at the same time, it's led to me sometimes going on further when time and my motivation permit. So either way, it's a win for me, and what we don't want when we're decluttering is a feeling of guilt and/or shame, which you have effectively removed. Every day I make a difference, and a small difference is still progress, which adds up to a visible difference in a surprisingly small number of repetitions, all things considered.

[@Clutterbug]

I’m so glad!

[@elisebb3765]

Thanks for ONLY 5 min. and 5 things! My craftroom is where everything goes! But 5 min. everyday, is starting to make a difference AND I'm finding myself spending more time actually crafting now that I have a space to work!!!! Thanks, Cas, for this realistic challenge! Love it!!!

[@Clutterbug]

You’re welcome!

[@kellycrowl1500]

Good enough, I like that self-talk! ❤ The ROOMBA story!😂😂😂

[@Clutterbug]

😋

[@lissarichardson1519]

I'm still hanging in here!!!! So proud of myself 😊

[@BallroomLilliesandHydrangeas]

I just want you to know that you are a Godsend, an inspiration - you and Dawn. When I need a pick me up, a kick in the butt to get up and get to it, I click on your videos. I took care of some things yesterday as I listened to your videos in my garage. I let go of some stuff and it felt so good! I think about you and Dawn implementation of the 5-minute rule. It's amazing what can be tackled within 5 minutes! Thank you so much for keeping us motivated and for sharing so many decluttering and cleaning tips! 🤗

[@tashahughes3541]

Yes!Same !!

[@Clutterbug]

You’re so welcome!

[@jomarielopez2229]

I use your mantra that you used when you did the closet. "Stop being bullied by your clothes!" Now I apply it to whatever we are decluttering.......it helps so much to let it go!!!!!!! But first, timer 5 minutes and 5 things!!!! Ty Cass!!!!!❤

[@mariannedavis9136]

5 minutes?? It took my hubby and I everyday for 2 months to clean out our attic. Mind you, it was 43 years worth of stuff. Lol. So watching your previous decluttering videos helped a whole lot for our declutter success. Thanks Cass! You’re amazing.

[@Notable2Nikki]

My mom found my great grandma's passports in an old box she hadn't looked at in 20 years. Thank goodness she looked before she pitched! What a wonderful thing to have to save!

[@Clutterbug]

Thanks for sharing!

[@claireboeck8027]

That Roomba story was one of your best! I hope you do the one about the time the Roomba tried to kill you, during a future video.

[@marthaspence4167]

Anyone (like YOU) who is brave enough to show a messy storage area in a video deserves a "like"!! :)

[@k.j.d865]

We love you because you are so honest and such an inspiration to us. "Decluttering is a way of life" = brilliant! Thank you

[@Clutterbug]

You’re welcome!

[@lormor460]

When I had young kids, I had a closet like that 😂. When we moved, it forced me to declutter. That was 10 years ago. Little did I know that that was where my decluttering journey began. It went faster with videos like yours❤ and Dawn at Minimalist Mom ❤

[@Clutterbug]

Glad to hear it!

[@cgt6497]

I love your coaching, but your stories are over the top! LOL

[@beverleyb5372]

Cas, you are awesome! Your end stories are always something to behold. 🤣 🐕💩🤣

[@Clutterbug]

😅

[@dawnrobertson5525]

Not looking inside the box is what I used to do. Then, my husband asked where our marriage certificate was. My heart stopped as I thought I might have donated it! I hadn't, fortunately, but we spent a few days frantically searching. That was nearly 15 years ago, and I haven't donated an unexplored or unopened box since!

[@sunshine3914]

Shouldn’t you be able to get that from the courthouse, tho? For me I could either send the money or drive 50 miles & pick it up.

[@persephonebasilissa5109]

We did a corner of our garage yesterday - only trash/ recycling, duh donations, and easy stuff to its already- established homes. We checked whether things functioned, dusted and swept, consolidated. That's all! But now we know what's there, we know it's all stuff we expect to use, and we have plans for next steps with it. Next time, we'll do the middle section of that wall. Little by little, we can do it!

[@Clutterbug]

You’ve got this!

[@terrilynch5435]

Cass, I love you so much! I totally🎉 want to hear the Roomba tried to kill me story! But I especially love your practical approach to giving ourselves space and grace to have stuff and work through it but get it done you’re awesome.

[@HannahRainbow88]

Yes! Definitely need to hear that story, as I've already heard the dog poop and "fallen off a cliff" Roomba stories 😂 coz I've been watching so many years 💗 Cas' tips and humour have kept me coming back for like 15years now!!

[@Clutterbug]

Glad you think so!

[@damson6981]

No basement or attic for me so I gathered up my kids' old winter coats, a halloween punchbowl and some containers and took them to donate, along with a large pile of pillowcases and bedding from the other day! House is feeling lighter now. Loving this method.

[@Clutterbug]

I’m so glad!

[@dptfo]

We don’t have any storage spaces really so today we worked in the kids room again and then toys outside. My 5 year old is so excited about decluttering today. He got rid of half a trash bag from his room and then a few hours later we got rid of a huuuge pile of things from outside, probably like 15-20 big toys That’s after we already did 6 bags total from the ADD so It’s actually a ton of stuff leaving today I’ve been reluctant to include him because I was afraid he would be sad to see it go, but he’s actually really aware of what’s special to him and what isn’t, so it’s so awesome to see how excited he is to make space for what matters. My husband is on board this time too. 💕

[@karenmcneill2602]

WOW, good for him!

[@lap-zx6dg]

@Cas - I think the blouse you have on is one of the prettiest tops I’ve seen you in. It looks really good on you and it’s the right color and style. I bring that up to tell you that one of the biggest impacts I made on my closet was getting my personal color analysis done. It reduced my shopping time for clothes by 95% (because I was only looking at clothes on my color palette )and I ended up with a wardrobe that mixes and matches well and everything looks good on me. I’m enjoying this series. 😊

[@Clutterbug]

I’m so glad!

[@leonieharry2941]

In my opinion this format is one of your best! This challenge is really good advise and you are doing a great job explaining and transporting the message to us and being super funny with your stories! Thanks a bunch!

You’re welcome!

[@sjsmith4053]

I love the after stories its so human and fun😅❤

[@Clutterbug]

Glad you like them!

[@rebeccalavanture9741]

That is a lovely top, and a great color!

[@Clutterbug]

Thank you so much!

[@susancromer6758]

Cas, I'm loving this challenge! 5 minutes has been so doable. On the bedside table day, I thought I had nothing to declutter. There is just a lamp, a box of tissues, and a little box on my table with dental floss, hand cream, and an elastic band. I thought, "I'll just check in the box to see if there is anything to declutter." Oh my goodness... and old driver's license, old insurance cards, and several random business cards... way more than 5 things! Thank you for all the encouragement! Lastly, I love that shirt... don't declutter it 😘

[@Clutterbug]

lol!

[@LaDonnaB]

Thank you for trying to help us get our homes under control !

I actually made my husband go done in the basement with me, we went through the plastic tote that has been on my radar for 6 months, kept 2 things, gave 3 things to our painter and tossed a black trash bag of everything else. Along with changing out the damp rid containers. Another in the books

[@Millie_n_Hank]

🎉 Five minutes matter! I love this so much! Day 23! What! I am notoriously bad at sticking with challenges. Today was hard, Monday being Monday and all, but I did it! 🎉

[@natashalussier6413]

It's the place I did almost every day. Just 1 to 2 min, I stop myself after five things. I am so much more productive and I want to do an other round the next day. Thanks for the all Cass, I'm doing it!

[@Tasha-ss9mq]

YOU TRULY ARE MAKING A HUGE DIFFERENCE Thank You SOO MUCH

[@Jess-737]

“But I do need this bunny pillow” 😂 Sounds like something I would’ve said while decluttering.

I decluttered my storage area on Saturday during the all day declutter. I unloaded so much mental weight!!

Oh my gosh!! For the first time ever, I forgot about the ADD!! I fot rid of that email address. 😫

[@Clutterbug]

AWESOME!

[@bowlingmaniac1761]

My basement has been a disaster since we moved and I finally finished getting it to a decent point this weekend! It’s only taken 2 years of slowly working on it to get here. 😂. Now to go through all the bins and see what I can get rid of from those!

[@Genie519]

Thank you for these! You are a gem!

[@Clutterbug]

You’re welcome!

[@selenanv859]

Saturday I cleaned out the dreaded overstuffed drawer of irrigation system parts in the garage. Threw away over a dozen old cannibalized for parts sprinklers. Sunday I tackled the bird feeders shelf in the garage cabinet. Put 4 feeders out at the end of the driveway with a FREE sign. They were gone before 2 pm. Next up is the houseplant potting shelves in the garage.

[@rhondahuggins9542]

I have also put myself on spending cap...not replacing what I give away!❤❤

Good for you!

[@ruthturkington1736]

Wow I did that the other day! I don’t use the little Tupperware leftover containers any more. So I gave them to someone who does and the lidless ones I tossed.

Words I never thought I would need to know when shopping for a Roomba - “dog poo detector”.

I got rid of quite a lot of Christmas stuff and old boxes from the loft on Saturday before the ADD. (ADD started at 2pm for us in the UK). Painted the bathroom and bedroom during the ADD.

[@Clutterbug]

Nice!

[@dianamarsden1933]

I am here Day 23 I have no storage area so I am just walking around the house looking for things to declutter . I now have six things to donate and some trash.

[@Clutterbug]

Yay!

[@yesymo9]

Ooh the cute little vaccums, mine is Tinkerbell, and she is tired, she’s not charging. Now I do have a story about it too. My Dad came to visit and he stood on it waiting to see his weight, thankfully he is both small and slim 😂😂

BAHAHAHAHAHA!

[@JudyWeeston]

I have a food storage shelf in basement, …….3 yr expired cake and cookie sprinkles and decorating icing…nasty, expired grape juice, spices, soup mix ( years old) .. thanks for the nudge to pitch it all. We are A RETIRED couple we don’t need food storage! I am down to 15 items. Yay

[@steviehudspeth3464]

This is such a great challenge! I need a cleaning version of this!

[@Clutterbug]

Glad you like it!

[@terrihop8880]

I love you Cas! You have motivated me into a search and rescue clutter person! I’m trying to keep myself to 5 minutes but now my eyes are getting whiplash from seeking out clutter! Of course when you said “Basement” I almost lost my breath! I’m trying to stay under control but I have so many things “lost or stored” down there it could get ugly! LOL Thank you for only allowing me 5 minutes friend! 😅❤😂

[@becca377]

As someone in the UK I totally passively watched. No basement or loft/attic in my home!

[@SaraBlu]

As someone in Germany I sat on my couch and spent 5 minutes thinking about what to do instead 😂

[@kellybreedlove4960]

I mean, I'm in California, U.S.A. and we don't have basements in California. Some have attics but I don't so I'll just do another repeat area 😊

[@Clutterbug]

If there’s an area/space that doesn’t apply to you, choose another space that needs attention! As long as you’re decluttering 5 min a day it doesn’t matter what space you’re in!

[@jerriharrison9763]

Thanks SO much for your 30 day challenge! Your 5 minutes & 5 items daily declutter plan has built consistency, confidence, a sense of accomplishment & endurance in my declutterring plan! Thanks! I’m hoping at the end of the 30 days that you’ll also give us a plan for beyond this initial 30 days! I think I’ll just go back to day one and start again!

[@Nithrade]

19 old cables and stuff are gone. Phew! The next month's challenge: Go out everyday and bring stuff to the appropriate disposal/donate places. (I'm disabled and don't own a car, so it will take a while. I see it as exercise.)

[@Clutterbug]

Awesome plan!

[@dianeharcourt9518]

This collapsed as we have no basement and our loft would take more than 5 minutes to get into. Also it’s all boxed, unlabelled and was all moved around by men who came to replace our loft insulation! It does need doing so this is a rain check only. Talking of which I can’t get into the garage either! I will have to wait till we get a dry day…. Both need my partner’s agreement! Biggest hurdle of all , though he has agreed to chuck some of his vast collection of rusty screws! I’m staying with you though. This programme is getting me into better habits and in some areas I can really see the difference. It has also inspired me to do some serious reorganising with great results. Thank you Cas 💐

[@gardengirlmary]

So good! Its getting easier to let go!!

[@Clutterbug]

Yay!

[@momof5family138]

Oh that’s crazy. I never thought of the Roomba doing that but totally makes sense. I’m glad they found a way to have a sensor inputted.

[@Clutterbug]

Me too.

[@DJLibster131]

OMG with the Roomba! I am playing catchup … I missed Friday and all weekend due to the ER trip we had to take since my son broke his elbow taking a spill off his scooter on a no school day Friday. I’m going to have my kids help me catch up. We’ll do a 5min with each of these areas… one room every hour or half hour. 5min only. Today’s storage area is accessed through my boys rooms… so that’s a no brainer for my eldest (no broken arms for him) can help me…and I already know what can be decluttered… so it will even take less than 5min.

[@Clutterbug]

Nice!

[@saubery2707]

The basement is the hardest area for me to declutter and the area in my house that needs the most effort. My five minutes in the basement today was a struggle, not for the lack of stuff, but because this is where the items are stored that have sentimental attachments. I finally found my five items for Day 23 by looking for trash or broken items to toss. Thanks Cas.

[@junegagnon6506]

Dear Cas, Your decluttering videos have been the ones that have helped me the most to get on the journey of decluttering and cleaning. I haven't been able to do the 30 day challenge due to health and fatigue issues but I watch them anyways. I especially love the tough love video podcasts. I watched the podcast video about your ADHD discovery and history. Along with ADHD I also feel I am on the spectrum of autism. I am too old to get tested but a lifetime of problems with all of this and feeling like a basket case. I just like to thank-you for the help you are giving to so many of us!! Along with your videos I watch Dr.Scott Eilers who helps me with the mental health side of things. He is a psychologist and like you has lived with the difficulty of the mental health issues and I have never had a therapist talk the way he does. Everyone just loves him. Just like everyone loves you for your expertise. Of course no one is perfect but you both work hard at helping all of us. So thanks again !!!

[@SadiaSaleem-g1h]

Love you cass ❤❤for such a nice program to train ourselves for a nice organized home with less clutter and fresh minds

[@Clutterbug]

😅

[@amandawhittemore5078]

You help me every morning to just be motivated. I've watched you for years. I don't have much to declutter. So the five things has not been met yet.

[@Clutterbug]

That’s good!

[@michellec6336]

I feel ya on the Roomba story. We had a similar situation. The wheels were so hard to clean that I told DH we should throw them out and replace them with new wheels. Plenty of sites sell the wheels, which makes me wonder how many other Roomba owners have gone through this. 😮😅

[@Clutterbug]

🐕 💩

[@NinaF.-xl6zo]

Thanks to you, I decluttered my basement and had no idea what many objects were for until I came across Google Lens, which can identify almost anything. It’s so genius! I got rid of so many things after that.

[@pdx4679]

I love the Rumba story, even while it's rather disgusting. Still funny, especially since I didn't have to do the cleaning. The 30 day challenge is wonderful for me. It's getting me kick started on a cleaning project. I do the 5 minutes, 5 things, then go back to spending some time on my HUGE cleaning project. A little progress on that is amazing. Thanks very much for your help. I'm recommending you to several people, so you might have a big class in the next 30 days.

[@shannonebryan5475]

Love you and your videos !

[@Clutterbug]

I’m so glad!

[@DoWhatNow_]

Honestly, I'm going to miss my daily 7 minutes with Cas! It's making me think of someone doing a 5-7 minute video each day on a place in the home that is less often cleaned-I could actually watch that every single day without eventually emptying my home completely ;)

[@dsmith9796]

I'm thinking of starting the 30 days over when this month ends - I think I could find another 5 items on most days!

[@bex438]

Eating lunch whilst watching this vid was all going well until the Roomba story, but I just paused eating & listened to the story until I could safely chew & swallow my food 🤣

[@Clutterbug]

😂

[@MauiJOY]

Ladybug here too..and opened that dreaded closet and got rid of 5 things...Oh...what to do with my nostalgic air line uniform and accessories...found a FB group and posted them on there...I haven't looked at them in 15 years!!! Mahalo Cas for your inspiration. Your stories are wonderful too!!! I want to pull out all of this stuff but know better!!!

[@deloreshall5459]

Hey Cass. Decluttering muscles stronger everyday. Find myself always evaluating what can go. So happy with this challenge. Can it be a 365 challenge. Lol. Love ya Cass.😊❤❤❤

[@janetj3072]

I may be having a little disinsentive to get rid of things I see because I'm waiting for the day that they will be the topic. But after the month is up I will have my clutter radar muscles all tuned up to see those items and get rid of them o. The spot.

[@janetroberts7073]

I would have trouble parting with that mirror.

[@everythingthathinders6922]

I was eyeing that two-tiered wooden basket thing thinking it would work so well in my entryway! 😂 I can't declutter until my husband leaves, so I watch these twice and always feel a little guilty the first time when she says, "Don't just sit there watching this!!" 😅

[@Clutterbug]

Sometimes you’ve got to flex that decluttering muscle!

[@tinakam8557]

So I just found this challenge 3 days ago…but I caught up with only a little cheating and doing one of these every couple of hours. I thought I didn’t have much clutter but every challenge area I have easily 5 things in every spot. Listening to you while I do it is super motivating. And having you say don’t you dare just sit there! And what is with the garbage? Who has garbage in drawers and cupboards, um, everyone, found garbage everywhere, empty containers, boxes, junk that had fallen down. Thank you.

[@brookecraig3135]

Holy cow, Cass, I should never eat or drink during your funny stories portion of the videos. I almost spit my burrito all over my laptop laughing at the roomba story...because I could totally imagine that happening from my elderly Chihuahua. I love your stories! And your decluttering tips, of course :)

[@ShellBellz]

We got a puppy the same Christmas as a Rhoomba. Mistake! I would love to send you my picture! I took that Rhoomba apart and cleaned every inch with a toothpick and clorox wipe, soaking anything removable. Twice! (Yes, it happened twice! 😕)

[@camis.1347]

WOW!!!

[@ewilson9435]

Well it was tough. "Paralysed" through trauma and ill health ( not physically though physically) a year or two ago water coming through my ceiling in a room I was working towards completing ( and more crisis in the state of the apartment I am renting) as a bedroom for my youngest son DS26. I did go in with the mindset of 5 minutes and quickly pulled a couple of box folders and an old atlas road map easy. Then I had been meaning to fill a plastic box with my eldest son's books. Turned out to be lots of paperwork to let go of in the file boxes . and warranties.I thought I had let go years ago they were easy to do though. Another 3 hours. I microorganise. I find you helpful Cass as I like how you look at it. I know so much about decluttering. I overthink it though and it is complex. I would prefer to let it go like you do than do this. Also seems like dust in the air I am trying to get rid of HVAC doesn't help. And two apartments above flooded. So dusty mould on things? HA tries to get out of it. My bookcase and desk affected.😢 And 18 months of drying the place out on my own.
