Work section/room by section Start with the easiest challenge first. Touch everything and Make 3 piles: a. Keep in room b. Move to another location c. Remove from home (recycle, trash, donate) 4. Have fun and notice the benefits 5. Go back to Step 1: Revisit and revise goals regularly/yearly

My easiest place was the linen closet. I had been keeping the fresh load of towels on the dining room table because the linen closet was packed. Secondary benefit after I minimized the linens, when I felt discouraged or overwhelmed, I'd open the linen closet door and see how great it is to be able to access everything and see everything so easily.

After spending most of yesterday cleaning our laundryroom, when my husband was putting his clothes in the laundry baskets in the laundryroom last night, I called out "Did you notice the laundryroom?" Cheerfully, he replied "Yes, I did!" I asked "Did you make the appropriate oohs & ahhs ?" (LOL) He said "Yes, I did !" Gotta love it. There was too much on the floor. I found things that could be pitched, given away, things I didn't know where they were & things I'd forgotten about. Now the room has more floor space, less stuff, is a whole lot cleaner & that makes me feel better !

OMG, thank you for breaking down the steps to becoming a minimalist. I truly feel energized and not overwhelmed! What captured my attention was the idea of conquering one small area at a time before moving on to the more challenging areas in the house. I would always start with the biggest mess first and become overwhelmed. To some, a small area to conquer might mean to clean and declutter the bedroom dresser, the bedroom chair, the exercise equipment that's being used to hold clothing, etc. Nonetheless, and as you have suggested, start small, enjoy the repercussions, and keep it moving! Baby steps first which leads to giant steps later! I love it! Today, I pledge to start decluttering my bedroom and I will not give up! Thank you for inspiring us out here. Please keep those videos coming!!! -Allie

It feels amazing to unload possessions that I no longer want or need. I have bartered here and there....I gave away a 12 year old Sleep Number bed in exchange for a trip to the dump with that person's truck. I traded a wool winter coat for some much needed yard work.

I totally agree. The very first time I heard/saw that *tidying* up one's house was the main part of the Konmari method I knew it wasn't for me. It didn't get to the heart of the problem. I'm sure intentions are good and for some people it has helped make a difference. But in the end, it doesn't matter what you do with 'too much stuff', it's still too much stuff. You can tidy all you want, clutter is clutter. You can't organize clutter, you can *only* Get Rid Of It.

It's a long, long and difficult story, but I am so thankful that I found your channel. It is so timely.....I can hardly believe it. AND, what's so funny or so sad, is that I bought your book months before the pandemic, never read it, and now I can't even find it but I know it is in here somewhere......under all the clutter. Since the divorce, my Mom's death(she was living with me at the time), and the car accident in which I was badly hurt, I may have to really sell my home for financial reasons; it forced me into retirement and my award won't come in time. When I got your book, wanted to just clear the clutter. But now, don't know if I should try to fix it up as much as possible, or, as a realtor friend says, just sell it as is!!! Ugh! It's not in shape and neither am I. Don't have help, or money.....if I could just refinance......would fix it up but then might not want to sell at all....but, I still might not be able to afford to live here. May have just answered my own question.

Where do you start? I liked this video, also. So, from a new perspective, where can you start in any decluttering journey after you have set your goals? I suggest you start where God started. Start from the ground (Gen. 2:7) and work your way up. Since decluttering is all about you and improving the quality of your life, the ground in this case is your feet. And you might work your way upwards from there. So here is a simple list of things you need starting from the ground and working your way up. 1. Socks 2. Pair of shoes 3. Underwear 4. Pants or trousers 5. Belt 6. Shirt 7. Hat (if you're spending time outdoors and under the sun) And thanks for your videos and showing us how to keep things simple.

The Becker Method is quite similar to what I did, the only difference is that I did it by category rather than by room. I like that you emphasize finishing the entire house. Although some people prefer a slower approach, such as The Minimalist game of 1 item on the 1st of the month, 2 on the 2nd and so on until the end of the month, I think this method of doing it all in one go is more efficient and it takes a lesser toll on your will power.

My sixth point would be to think MORE than twice about what you buy in the future. Don't buy on impulse, and go through the third degree with yourself when you are in the store. For example, most kitchen gadgets are entirely unnecessary, and you can cook all the same dishes with what you already have. I say this because it's in the kitchen where I could really go on a mad spending spree. For me now, a new piece of kitchen equipment would really have to earn its keep in terms of the space it takes up and the washing-up it creates.
@SpeakTruthBeKind15 күн бұрын
When it comes to a new purchase of kitchen equipment I recently heard someone say that they look at the cost of the item, think as to if they own another item that would do the job and if not consider how many times they would use it and apply the value of $1.00 per use…if the item costs say $100.00 would they use it 100 times? That helps me some with decisions. 😉❤

I didn't know I was being minimalist when I started 2 years ago. Now I'm doing everything more intentionally. I still feel sometimes that "the house will eat me", I just fell so small in the middle of everything. Now I'm starting over again. The worse part is the toys and kid's clothes that I keep because I have one baby that will use everything again and I maybe will have one more in about 2 years. I'm a little bit lost with those kids things. Another thing is that I discovered that I don't love most of my things, so I'm changing them, buying new and really good stuff and replacing the old and not so good ones.

Get on the No Call list and the No Mail list for your area. It will greatly reduce the number of solicitations you get. Look on every piece of junk mail for the number to unsubscribe. Unsubscribe from every catalog, and mailing list that sells clutter, stores you don't go to, services you don't use or need. Stop magazine subscriptions for a while. They are at least half advertisements. Avoid watching commercials. Buy You Tube Red to stop commercials. The content creators still get paid. Avoid shopping. Avoid shopping entirely while you are decluttering. Plan ahead and don't make any unnecessary trips to the store. Get online banking and automatic bill pay for your bills. Negotiate with your debt holders to get out of debt. Try to have zero installment payments of any kind. Pay cash for things. Even big things. Especially big things. Like vehicles, education, houses, land.

On my phone's playlist the title is "Stick to Decluttering with The Becker" and I thought, "Ah, so that's what he calls himself."🤷♂️

Another Great Video Joshua, I started with the bedroom. Now ive got the hang of this i go back to rooms and donate even more stuff. When you get into the routine of getting rid of things it starts to flow out of your house lol i accumulate less i used to over spend massivly now i dont want that in my house. I finally feel like im living.

I became a minimalist in 2017 and got rid of about 80 percent of our stuff. I cleared out our 3 bedroom house, 2 floors and full basement. My husband commented on how his thoughts are clearer and he is less anxious. My problem now is my husband is refusing to tackle his books. He has 6 FULL bookshelves that are cluttering my thoughts when I walk by them. Thankfully they are in the basement, but they take up a full length wall and a bit. I have threatened, shamed, reminded him that when he dies I will be throwing them all out so he might as well help me now, but nothing works. I can almost see the empty wall and how beautiful this would be, but alas he has to do this one. Thanks for all your videos. I actually just found your teachings 2 days ago and had never heard of you before. I look forward to the day that my husband finally realizes that if he tackles this stronghold in his life, he will be much freer. Thanks again.

Do you have a guide to getting rid of paperwork? One of my biggest problems is what to save and what to get rid of. I guess I have a starting point. I recently changed health insurance. It finally occurred to me that I no longer need all that paperwork, monthly updates, etc from my old health insurance plan.. What confuses me the most is financial paperwork. What do I need to keep and what can I rip up and dispose of? Love this series.

I’ll have more time to play with my five year old. She always says mommy you never have time to play. My response is I have to clean and it never ends!

Thank you Joshua. So clear, and insightful. I just have to apply it now.. wish me luck. Im fighting myself over whether " to get rid of" or "keep". This indecision freezes me, and prevents me from tackling the more difficult rooms. It sorta takes a " practise" to learn this new way. Does that make sense?🇦🇺😏❓

I struggled like u. Instead of figuring out what to get rid of, I take out my favorites first. The stuff I love. Now what’s left over is what I decide to get rid of or donate. If I’m stuck I put it in a box and place in basement for 30 days. If I don’t need it they go to a donation store.

I have a hard time getting rid of things so I mainly just move it out of my living space to experience the benefits. Also I am poor so I "shop" from my own stuff... If I think I need something I go through what I have to find something I can use.

Get rid of the obvious stuff first. Then as you revisit the area in a month, you'll find more things you don't need. As time goes by, you'll find it easier to say goodbye to things.

I’ve had two seemingly competing urges - to both collect and practice minimalism: ying/yang, do each with a bang?
@lynnettemurphy82433 жыл бұрын
Greg Gonzales, I've been watching reruns of Hoarders & I'm hoping it will convince me to collect less & declutter more. But first I have to check out an auction thats on in a couple of weeks. They might have something I need. Take care & stay safe.

Hi, love the vídeo. Just a quick question. I love your video editing. Which program you use? I want to buy one but want to stick with my minimalist vision. I really will appreciate your respond. ;)

Hey @F Merced. My team uses Final Cut Pro X, we think it has great long term value compared to subscription programs and is powerful enough to do what we need it to. Thanks for the kind comment and good luck with your videos.
