Clutter is like having a roommate that takes up space but doesn't contribute to the rent.

[@tarynmaria_]

SO true!!

[@zulygirl4412]

I can really relate to taking out all my clothes and piling them onto the bed. Because I'm a world-class procrastinator, I'll never address the mess in one day. Instead, I'll agonize about decisions to be made. At the end of the day, a significant chunk of the clothes mountain will be on the floor. Days or weeks later...... Little by little, I'm improving. Has anyone seen my keys? LOL

[@tarynmaria_]

Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@evelynsaungikar3553]

My decluttering approach for clothing: for each season, pack two weeks worth of clothes, as though you were going on a trip. Then, get rid of everything else for that season.

[@tarynmaria_]

Great idea, thank you for sharing!

[@myaccount9498]

Yes that's awesome! 💜

When God says he's going to pour out overflowing blessings on you He has on me I have a screened in porch an old home with few closets and few cabinets in the kitchen I have two car detached garage and a storage unit When one of my brothers passed away and the other one decided to move up here suddenly and live with me which I had an extended an invitation We quickly threw everything in the garage and a storage unit Then came a serious illness my bf died , a surgery then came a baby.....in ICU four months came home with a feeding tube and oxygen Oct. 2 emergency care children Nov. I have been decluttering every single day for a very long time now talk about spending time looking for something I always say I would have 10 years of my life back My house was built in 1952 they did not have many things to store then I always say that God has blessed me so I can bless others I've given so so so much away and everybody still says how do you have anything left in your house but I do and in my garage and in my screen and porch in my storage I have taken literally truckloads One of the thrift stores over by me I don't even think I'll take another thing of mine I'm not interested in being a minimalist Just simple living God has been so wonderful to me in my life I just want to get things cleared out so I can spend more time doing for Him I know I am now giving blankets to a families for the winter socks children's clothes taking bags of baby clothes to The Crisis Pregnancy Center but it is true the minimum mom says it's like peeling an onion and I'll go through a room I'll grab so much stuff and then the next time I'll grab more. I crave the empty spaces it's so true you breathe so much easier Whenever anybody walks in my house and they comment on anything pretty even if it's Sparks joy for me I give it to them I am a giver and I'm not a shopper I bought some Christmas presents but I try so hard to get things that will disappear like candy or candles Joshua Becker says you can't clean clutter my daughter says part of the issue is I'm ADHD and I have a hard time staying on task but I'm getting much better because I run around saying stay on task stay on task stay on task that certainly has helped me Not missing one single thing that's left my home I pray no more interruptions and I can finally Get Ur Done

The 2.5 days looking for lost items is sobering! Declutter little and declutter often is a great concept.

[@tarynmaria_]

So sobering, right? Thank you so much for watching! :)

[@cltinturkey]

@@tarynmaria_ I just put a sticky note with a giant red 2.5 on the closet door. It's in the center of the house so will serve as a great reminder to set things free so others can use them. That way, I'm hoping to cut my lost-item-hunting time way down.

[@tslilbearshoppe9870]

Biggest thing I figured out after owning 5 homes is to not keep more than you can fit. (of course clothing and shoes do not apply!) lol but in the bathrooms, in the pantry, in the hall closets, guest room closets etc. I do not overbuy household supplies anymore, I wait for them to almost run out. Why store it? Maybe one extra and stock up on tp and ppr towels is an exception. Tip: If you have to cram things into a space, you need to get rid of some stuff.

[@tarynmaria_]

For sure! Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@myaccount9498]

Very well said!

[@MariaSegovia]

I totally agree with you! I think 15 min a day make a huge difference, like the compound effect

[@tarynmaria_]

So much easier, right?

[@kwah2o84]

My mom always said this. Only she said just start with 10 minutes somewhere / anywhere. Of course, once you get started, you'll want to keep going. Sometimes getting started takes longer than doing the actual chore! (Like my son and his homework. I kid you not, it could take him 2 hours to get started on it, but it only takes him 10 minutes to do it! I'm not even exaggerating! exaggerating! )

[@kwah2o84]

The going through every item and asking myself if it Sparks joy, would be just a big waste of precious time to me. It would just take too long to decide on some things. Time that could be spent on just getting things done. I also am with you on not throwing everything on your bed, but instead, going through your closet in sections. Otherwise, you'd have to rehang everything that you wanted or needed to keep also. Just more unnecessary work. Plus like the one commenter said, a lot of it would end up on the floor, cuz you'd run out of time in the time available, and need to get to bed. 🤔

[@moonkatmagic5599]

Great points! It’s nice to watch someone actually open a messy drawer and clear it, rather than some videos where they have 5 things in the drawer and say it’s messy when it clearly isn’t. I watched one the other day and they had no mess but said it was messy and in the comments someone actually said, did you throw anything away? As they just emptied a neat drawer and didn’t show if they got rid of anything. It was all for show, Ridiculous. Thank you for the real thing 😊

[@tarynmaria_]

Aw thank you so much!! :)

[@jennyjenkins877]

Decluttering in manageable chunks is key but what that is varies from person to person based on energy level and stamina. It even varies from day to day for each person! If I had tried the Konmari method on my clothes at the start of my decluttering journey, I would've quit before I even started! I've peeled away so many layers of that onion over the last few years and built my decluttering (decision making) muscles to the point that I probably could do it that way but I still choose not to. 😜

[@tarynmaria_]

Yes - definitely varies day to day! I think I'm the same as you - I've been peeling the onion layers :)

[@Facts4Fun1]

I used to collect books. Now I have many thousands and want to declutter but the whole job makes me feel totally overwhelmed. Every time I try to start it just seems hopeless. I never thought I would feel this way. Love your vids.

[@tarynmaria_]

Thank you so much! Books are so tough - maybe you could start with a goal of one book a day - and then commit to getting those 7 books out of the house each week? I think small chunks could be less overwhelming!

[@nanny8675309]

[@1whitecottagelife770]

Putting like items with like items was sobering for me. I realized exactly what I had and how many I had, and also I realized that some things I couldn't possibly use up in the next at least 5 years! So I remember that every time I get the urge to go shopping to get that instant gratification high. You don't need 3 highliters or 3-4 blushes ladies... I've had one of those Milani luminoso blushes that I use a lot, I'm starting to see the pan, but realistically I still have at least a year's worth of product left... same with eyeshadow

[@tarynmaria_]

I used to do the same with make up! I would have multiple bronzers and blushes and now I just have one of each that I use daily 😊

[@joannunemaker6332]

I like how you think! The easiest way is best.😊❤

[@tarynmaria_]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@lornadesmarais-zo4pr]

I think I need a decluttering class for our fridge. Everything else is pretty good.

8:55 I encourage my kids to make something with stuff already in our house, this year one of my kids made a mermaid costume with my leggings

[@tarynmaria_]

Great idea!

[@sarahmitchell9366]

My policy is I will buy costume accessories, or if you want a costume as a gift like for a birthday we will do that.

[@valkyriesardo278]

I can boast of rarely spending any time hunting for something. Important items I cannot afford to misplace have a designated space (keys, wallet, dog leashes, scissors). I do not have a place for everything and everything is not in place. But I did take the time and effort to pick a designated space for the most important things and some few incidentals. It makes a world of difference.

[@tarynmaria_]

Awesome, great idea to be sure you have designated spaces for items you don't want to lose!

[@allisonb3451]

These are great tips; very practical 🙌🏼

[@tarynmaria_]

Thank you! 😊

[@novanorman1091]

I just took everything out. I did re organize and didn’t get rid of as much as I had hoped (had an event at home and needed room/ closet back together - so I decided to put back in much better order and get rid of things as I go.. like jewelry, hats, socks. Thanks for the advise declutter little and often - will use this now!! 😊I am a classic dresser too - w a pc or 2 that is trendy.

[@annsalty5615]

Once you reach a point where your place is decluttered and organized, just be sure to pick up daily, weekly, or whatever works to keep all clutter at bay, and never shove stuff somewhere and forget it. That was our biggest mistake over the past 40 years of marriage. Also, avoid buying at big box stores! Your not saving any money if not using it all. Instead, you just end up storing the excess. Stop doing it.

[@tarynmaria_]

Thank you, Ann! I am so guilty of sticking stuff somewhere and forgetting where I put it!

I have no disagreement with donating but inevitably it's shit no one wants and ends up in landfills. And we all want to give ourselves a gold star with thinking we are doing good. We are a society of what's in it for me so now we sell items we'd in previous times donate.

[@laurabenevelli6783]

Toilet paper doesn’t bring me joy but it’s just a necessity. 😂 In all seriousness I’m embarrassed to have anyone over, including my son and best friend. When my brothers and I were growing up we made all of our Halloween costumes with the help from our Mom. We had some truly amazing costumes… way better than store bought costumes. My son never had a store bought costume either and loved his costumes. All of us had to decide what we wanted to be and wear within a week to a month early just in case we had to buy something for the costume. If we had to get something we would go to a store like Good Will with the exception of the makeup.

[@tarynmaria_]

That's so great - we used to make all our costumes growing up too! My mom made them all!

[@ashleygonzalez32171]

I love cleaning and organizing and there is no better feeling than decluttering and donating the items. I feel really guilty about the money I wasted purchasing the items but donating them makes me feel better. Cleaning a home that does not have clutter makes cleaning easy and enjoyable.

That’s amazing that you’ve started! You didn’t get all your stuff overnight so it’s going to take time to declutter - but little by little you’ll get there!

[@denisemiller8474]

De cluttered isn’t my problem it is getting rid of the items. I can’t afford to have it picked up and it would take me a million trips to the donation place. I don’t live around free pick up donation haulers . Everything I have to get rid of is expensive and not worn or used. Lots of clothing, furs boot’s shoes never worn tags on . And lots of doll collections, doll houses and doll furniture still in the boxes . It’s getting out of the house that’s the problem. I’ve called places but they don’t come to my area

Pardon me🤯? Who has money to purchase stuff? This is an old, heavily debunked assumption made re people who need to declutter(!). I had apartment challenges so needed to move fast into whatever was available. It was a mad rush so too much stuff came with me. This happened more than once. I am stunned re the assumptions in this video.

[@tarynmaria_]

I appreciate your perspective. Many people, for various reasons, find themselves with more belongings than they need. Decluttering, KonMari, Swedish Death Cleaning - these methods help people simplify their lives.

[@annsalty5615]

A lot of people buy things they really do not need if they stop and think about it, or buy things that are useful for some time and then put aside, thinking they will need it maybe again.....but that does not happen and THEN it is just 'stuff'. I do not think anyone just buys stuff to clutter. It is just something that happens to nearly everyone, given enough time.
