My decluttering mantra: “My commitment is to truth not to consistency” -Gandhi
I think end-of-the-year decluttering is so important because we are letting go of all the things that we no longer align with and "leaving it" in the past. It's a form of shedding for me, and this always brings me a renewed sense of energy and purpose for the new year. I hope this video inspired you to take action!

I started decluttering myself, unintentionally, and I’ve noticed how much lighter I feel. My “why” was, honestly, to not be on the phone so much and use my time wisely. From that, I loved the feeling of being able to find things when I needed them, instead of wasting time looking for things. It’s a cleansing ritual that I’ve been practicing and excited to do this challenge together with you!

[@MalamaLife]

🤗 I LOVE IT!

[@MNSkolGirl]

I’m honestly shocked that this channel doesn’t have at least one million subscribers. The aesthetic, message and editing of all her videos are incredible.

[@christinefortes6457]

and also the voice ☺️

[@v25485]

agreed! the videos are perfect!

[@jyldyzsadykova6693]

I never thought of a “mental “ decluttering. Last year I vastly eliminated my friend groups. Starting off this year I’ve been feeling little lonely but I know that those friendships weren’t serving me. I will try to be mindful what people I’ll bring into my life.

[@MalamaLife]

👏❤️ love that

[@Rie46802]

My why is to be a better mom & wife and be able to actually enjoy time with my boys and husband, rather than spending all my time cleaning and still feeling like the house is never clean. A clottered house makes me feel so stressed and overwhelmed all the time. Decluttering has been the most incredible experience seeing not just how much easier it is to clean, but how much less stressed I feel because of it. And all the time I've gained back, and I'm not even done yet!

[@pippas5808]

I always set aside time in December and January to go through all my possessions and declutter. I take one shelf, drawer or cupboard at a time, so it never feels overwhelming, and it means I start the new year with the space feeling much lighter. I save any reusable bags that I'm given to put my donations in - charity/thrift shops usually love to have bags they can offer to customers, and I find it easier to carry a bag of donations than a large cardboard box!

[@sandys6379]

10 minutes a day, totally doable! Thank you Sophie for the inspiration! 🙏🏽

[@MalamaLife]

❤️😍 definitely manageable that way

[@kylaboulter9274]

I really like that this is spaced out giving a week at a time for each room approximately. I put pressure on myself and think I've got to do whole rooms in a day 😩 which only makes me feel more stressed.

[@MalamaLife]

I find it overwhelming as well! Spacing it out makes it more manageable 😍

[@paologreen]

I love your videos. You are so wise beyond your years. Cheers!

[@kaedama.]

Loved your breakdown of the decluttering process and how beautifully you managed to film it. Great job with your channel! Here’s to a peaceful start to a new year… ❤️🤗

[@llllll6584]

Dana K White advises against making "keep" piles or any other piles.

[@williamclark1244]

I started decluttering in 2019 and the more I did it the more I realized how much I owned was superfluous. Recently, I've been focusing on decluttering digital content. I removed all social medial from my phone and even took Safari off of my home screen. I also started going on daily walks. By doing so it has really limited how much time I spend watching television and being on my phone.

[@simonesmall343]

Started this during the pandemic and continue this practice. It’s so satisfying 🖤.

[@pavinaik]

Hey Sophie! Ur videos are really great As william arthur ward said "Feeling gratitude and not expressing is like wrapping a present and not giving it." So I want to take a moment and show gratitude towards you because you have changed my life in such a way that I am living a very peaceful life with so many drastic changes in my life. So thank you so much.. Your video are such therapeutic and soothing to soul. I'll always will be waiting for your new video to be posted also must say you are blessed with beautiful voice and soul which can connect others instantly. To add on your channel is the bestest channel I could ever find in the whole youtube platform. I AM SO OBSESSED WITH YOUR VIDEOS.😍

[@hayley3613]

Please do not stop making these videos. Right now I work in a place where I have to be up at 2am, work in the cold and the heat, around not the best of people at times. It’s a very rough job for me and emotionally draining. I watch one of your videos every morning. It grounds me and reminds me who I am, what is important, and what I am working towards. ♥️

[@mansoor3159]

Sophie your Kitchen looks too too too pretty and clean and you always brighten up my day with your videos you are my inspiration and I will support you so so much🥺🥺✨💗

[@MalamaLife]

Aw thank you so much! 💓

[@susanweller2121]

Your comments always make me smile. 🙂

[@paulinebuemio4321]

I really really like your videos and have inspired me to do so much better! You're serving not just minimalist point of views but wisdom as well! Thank you Sophie for your videos! With aloha here in Maui, Pauline ❤

[@billhicks2509]

Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone.

[@beckiingawanup8130]

I'm excited we are going to get rid of 2 larger furniture pieces in our living room. It feels up walking space & a huge view in our front picture window. Let's in more light & better views of the outdoor wildlife. So excited for spring!

[@DivyaJoan]

I love this video, Sophie. Very helpful, particularly the last bit about mental clutter. I've been decluttering for a while now but have found that I go back out and splurge again, filling those spaces again. So, this time around, I've decluttered and kept aside things I want to sell/donate, left them as is in boxes in plain view, decided I will do the internal work first and figure out why I subconsciously subscribe to "retail therapy" and then, once that is done, actually go ahead with the declutter. It is quite a process! And I'm very grateful for your videos. :)

[@nilada3668]

I like the way you have allotted one zone every week and ten minutes everyday. This way we can go in-depth analysing and decluttering, which might otherwise seem strenuous and overwhelming! Thank you for the video❤

[@yonmarktheone]

Thank you so much for this amazing video, it took a while for me to realize how important your videos and I learned a lot ot things from this, especially decluttering part of my life. It is such a great value you are sharing to everyone thru this video. God bless you Sophie

[@MalamaLife]

❤️❤️❤️

[@yonmarktheone]

@@MalamaLife 💚♥️💙

[@elizabethdouglas3417]

I love this! I get overwhelmed easily, with working full time, and living with three other people, so doing a bit at a time is super helpful.

[@THFrenchteacher]

Thank you for this idea. I’m pretty good at decluttering, but there are some rooms that overwhelm me. I’ve now broken those rooms into small “bite size” pieces. I have a running list on my tasks app so whenever I have a few minutes, I tackle one of them. Great idea. Thank you! 🙏 ❤🙏

[@TheKrazyKoala]

Great video as always!!

[@NorasNarrative]

Love your content !

[@narutosd8178]

Love it so much

[@creativesdiaryzenliving6473]

Love your videos 🥰😍🤩

[@hassel412]

I'm actually in the process of decluttering right now and I feel like it's a never ending process. What I have realized is that I am a person who has multiple interest or hobbies. For instance, I make videos whenever I am free and I have all these different equipment stored. On another hand I also like learning new recipes and I have a tendency to print recipes online and papers piled up. I have a tendency to buy a new kitchenware to help enhance my skill in cooking. I also like reading, I have a tendency to buy books sometimes and store them in a place and the list goes on. So this has been a problem for me because I love learning new things but my personal interest is conflicting with my goal on being minimalist. I simply just don't want too many things stored in the house but I need these tools to help me grow and learn new things.

[@utkalikasahani9914]

Loved the message Sophie, let me take up this challenge and start working on clearing some headspace 😊❤ I liked the thought when you said that we should learn while discarding 🎉

[@CitrouilleCitron]

Thanks for this video !!

[@lifeofdidi229]

live your videos always

[@meenakshihari4187]

I always wait for your videos❤

[@la_petite_carotte]

Such an inspiring video! Thanks!❤

[@JohnAdams-we9gs]

Great video! I have moved a few times over the last few years. My first move I rented the biggest uhaul I could get. My last move I rented one up from the smallest! I continue to declutter and not bring a bunch of new stuff in. I now live small and comfortable! Plus I would like to move overseas in the next year or two. Thank you for a great video!

[@agataprzygodzka]

Thank you

I'd rather have silence. I got sick of background music working retail. Kathy B

[@AFluidRealiTea]

The list on your website was very helpful. I printed it out so I can check things off (so satisfying). Starting today for a little one-month refresh.

[@videomobscene]

10 min a day. Start with a decluttering plan 1- The Why, 2. The problem., 3. Make a plan.. 4. Good music, Audible books, 5. Area of house a week. 6. System that works for you. Throw, Donate, Keep (What do you commonly use), Sell, Maybe; 7. Fridge staples Shopping list, 8. Let go of what you no longer need., clean photos Be more intentional., 9. What thoughts or emotions do I hold onto? 10. Journal

Thank u so much for this video Sophie. I have always been a tidy and minimalist person, but I’m planning to move with my boyfriend to another country next year. This is a great step in reducing my stuff and prepare to move.

[@pinkroses135]

This is something I could stick with

[@sadhanachhajedc1721]

U r an inspiration....I needed this video...just started.Thank u so much ❤

[@TheMennomilist]

I love that you plan decluttering which I think should be done most of the time rather than mindlessly doing things. I feel it makes us think more through what we are doing. Very well done.

[@Lilly96]

This is such a thoughtful and inspiring video 💖 Thank you very much for the time and effort you put into creating this 🙏🏻

[@ivybrummer]

The photo detox! Yes! I'm also going to be more intentional with what I capture

[@EL-id3mt]

Thank you Sophie, your video is a much needed reminder for me! After listening to your advices, I am able to take better care of myself, give myself security and inner peace, not just validations from others.

[@duongthuy3588]

This video inspires me to do my mental clutter. Thank you. It is so meaningfull for this ending-year time.

[@aida087]

This is great advice!! I started doing this yesterday with my makeup and nail polishes, felt great!! I will keep going because I want a more minimalistic space/life and I love how you break it down to twn minutes each time, much more manageable vs feeling overwhelmed!!❤❤️❤️🙏

[@OrientalExotics]

Aloha Sophie. Happy new years 🎉❤

[@MalamaLife]

Happy new years!!

[@erintannehill]

I've done a few declutter challenges similar to this and I'm always so excited when mental decluttering is included! It's great to freshen up your environment, but many challenges often forget that mental and physical clutter go hand in hand. One thing I really need to tackle is my paperwork. I decluttered and organized it last week, but I now need to implement my paperless system to free up the remaining paperwork. I always put it off, but it feels so much better right after I finish. Plus, it will free up an entire shelf in my office closet. Definitely going to journal through the process so that I can look forward to keeping it this way and stop procrastinating.

[@rachelnoraSLP]

This was amazing thank you. I keep saying I’m going to declutter but I don’t have a plan. I love this room by room and time plan. The video was also relaxing and relatable. Thank you!

[@MalamaLife]

Thank you 😍❤️

[@18thdandelion]

I learnt so much from you through this video. Thank you for inspiring me. I consider myself an organised person, but feel I have way too many possessions and often feel overwhelmed when I want to do a major declutter. It's hard for me to say goodbye to things. Now that it's Christmastime, with all my decor, my house feels even more cluttered. I think I really want to try a 10-minute everyday routine.

[@mutvannit2241]

Your video helps me a lot. Doing like that sets me free.

[@adamc.7795]

So liberating recently as I was burning all my old private student loan statements, letters, etc. in a nice warm fireplace while visiting relatives. All the BS documents that go back to my early 20's and bring back PTSD just looking at them. I figured, well my account info and SS# are all over these papers, who wants to have a fire??

[@eliza6470]

As much as love sometimes watching your channel and learning more about slower pace of leaving ..I don't think everything uis about decluttering or minimising...sometimes you ought to enjoy your life ad it is. I feel like I see it a bit too often on your channel...

[@JtothePrez]

It's a bit odd that earlier I came up with the idea to set aside a bin bag somewhere in my flat so I can put in one thing a day that I no longer need or want and then this video pops up in my recommended. Haha.

[@thevoiceco]

Love the plant on the counter at 3:57 in the video! Would you mind sharing what kind of plant it is?
