Are you ready to get some decluttering done? 🙋🏻‍♀ Let's do this! More motivation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJPQdYOpbryAg7ssi=NxL_LO1WGzWS8Xi6

Ali it's the making decisions that's hard for me but I've got my dear brother William to help me because I'm recovering from a stroke and need a lot of support. We talk and laugh and get things done easier and quicker. I'm glad you went for reality because I no longer waste time with you tubers that have show house videos... Useless!! Those people have nothing to offer those of us who feel overwhelmed with our homes. ❤

[@reallifewithali]

@@Vera-y8m I hope you continue to recover well. How nice that you have your brother to be there for you. ❤️

I set a 15 min timer with you. Filled a small bag with various ‘junky’ items; several old eye glass RX, an old nail polish bottle, an empty RX bottle that I had dropped into my battery drawer in the kitchen. I feel good about this mini clean. Thanks for your encouragement. 🎉

Yay! That's awesome. I bet it feels good.

I love that you talk through what you’re declutterring. It’s very inspiring to hear that you are not sure about getting rid of things or have a hard time letting go. Some other videos make it look easy and you feel like you won’t be able to do it the same. ❤

I’ve been scrapbooking for almost 20 years. And yes, people still scrapbook and they love it. Scrapbooking and crocheting are the two hobbies that help you relax the most.

[@reallifewithali]

I’m glad you like to scrapbook! I think if I didn’t have kids at home still, I would enjoy it. I’ve always wanted to learn to crochet. Someday…

[@brendafox8866]

Ali! You’re doing so great! Second and third passes get so much easier as you flex your decluttering muscles! I’ve watched all your videos. Your confidence is growing by leaps and bounds! One suggestion …I keep an extra set of sheets per bed. I “organize “ by placing folded fitted sheet, folded top sheet, and 1 folded pillowcase inside the 2nd pillow case. Makes a package and easy to carry plus don’t have to find the pieces that go together. Looks nice too for us “crickets”😂

[@reallifewithali]

Aw, thanks! I love the idea of packaging the sheet sets. I have considered that. One reason I don’t is because most of my kids hate top sheets and sometimes we just need to change out the pillowcase. 😊

[@MartinGiadrosich]

I did a whole decluttering of stuff I've been slugging around since i was a teenager (in my 30s now) and you really do have to talk it out in your brain. "I'm not going to use this" or "I'm past that time in my life". I had a bunch of art supplies and I knew I was beyond that point, but I was still hanging onto everything. I finally let it go, though and it feels good. Some stuff I donated so someone else can use it for their art time in their life.

[@reallifewithali]

Yes! I haven’t missed it at all, either!

[@ginagonzalez6547]

Hi Ali, as you were talking about the gift wrapping paper, the thought came to mind. If you have an attic or a basement, maybe you can make it sort of a mini craft room just for gift wrapping. You have more room to work with, everything will be organized ready to use at a moments notice and you would not have to deal with rearranging all the time the gift wrapping box. Same holds true with the suitcases. In the attic or basement that way out of sight out of mind. If you have a free closet, you can make it a gift wrapping work station with an over the door lift up table to put your gifts while you wrap them up.

[@reallifewithali]

Great idea, but I don’t have an attic and the wrapping paper is already in the basement. There is no extra space.

I know this is an old video. I really enjoyed watching it. I think I replayed it several times today while I was busy doing things. I started with FlyLady in 2013. She gave me a structure or framework for getting things done. Overtime I’ve tweaked her system. One routine I added was my Coffee Time Routine. It happens just after my quick morning routine. I sit with my coffee and do a few tasks: ✔️ 1. Take my Meds ✔️ 2. Update my Self-Care Journal (weight, blood glucose, sleep time, meds, etc. A few things I’m tracking.) ✔️ 3. Clear voice mail & call histories & FT ✔️ 4. Clear photos: iPad 138, 1v; iPhone 122, 7v. (I clear unwanted photos & show my current total.) ✔️ 5. Clear email. ✔️ours ✔️mine ✔️Mom ✔️Dad. (Reset to zero. Or, if necessary - leave a few to review later.) ✔️ 6. Check in w/sibs group text. ✔️ 7. Check my calendar & bullet journal.

Thank you 🎉 🙏🏽 ❤ Yes, thats exactly what I do, even with long sleeves in with like colors. Especially when you’re in a rush and know what color you want (I also wear a lot of burgundy’s… it was cute bc you actually had that color on when you did that one). 👚 I did our freezer when we got our deer back from the processor and gave some to my brother for his family and the kids (quick meal fixes) and stuff I got that we hadn’t eaten and didn’t wanna throw it out when it was still good. 🥘 I love that yall are commercial fishermen in Alaska. I, and my oldest brother, were born in Anchorage, at Elmendorf AFB🎣 🍣 I, too, keep a weekly menu. Sometimes I go by it, sometimes not. I do like having a guide bc sometimes I just can’t think of something to fix after a busy day…or…it serves as a reminder if I need to start something early/put in the crockpot. ❤ So many great ideas 💡 and easy ways to incorporate now and continue to keep up.

Nope! Most of the time I don’t ever miss any of it.

Please do not throw away your negatives, or teach others that that's ok. Prints get damaged in so many ways, and negatives are a great back up. Pictures are such a valuable key to our past.
