decluttering & organizing my entire apartment

AYYOOO who's ready for my very first NON-ART-RELATED video? If you're anything like me, you probably have way too much stuff (trash and otherwise) in your house. My clutter situation got to the point where I finally HAD to get rid of stuff so that I could make room for my new art business.
]It took me 5 months(!!!) to film this and finish the decluttering, because I kept taking lonnngg breaks away from home. I hope u like watching!!

@@seeleygirl6178 i dont think she was referring to the kind of quantity of clothes that can end up being collected over decades. I think she was speaking of when influencer who do tons of hauls and stuff do a declutter and the amount of clothes they have gained so quickly is crazy

[@Meg_Davis]

As a plant person, I am immensely proud of you. Getting rid of plants that do not spark joy is the path to freedom. Also, YAY for unrealistic goals that take longer to complete than we think they will because they get us MOVING and that is the point. Good work, Gabi.

This is so realistic. U didn’t need to buy bunch of new organizers just to declutter, clean up, and organize your things. You made use of what’s available and what you already have. You also showed that you need to invest time and effort to do this and it’s okay to take it one day at a time. This video motivated me to clean and declutter my room and our living room, thank you so much this video!

[@calisongbird]

YES!!! I love that this video wasn't sponsored by The Container Store or other organizing products company.

[@lisd8915]

Yes! I just watched another channel going from horder to «minimalist» and after throwing A lot away she bought A ton of fancy boxes and jars to display and put the things she had left in.

[@suann9790]

You are not a trash hoarder. You are a responsible person who doesn't want to be wasteful. This will help you in the future to accumulate less unnecessary stuff. Also, if you keep up regular decluttering over time, giving away stuff others can still use is much easier because it's just a couple of things here and there. You did great with this big reset!

[@swiftiecat17]

I’m like that with gift wrap 😂 I usually do end up using a lot of it, but I do keep pretty much all of the nice tissue paper and gift bags I get because why throw them out?? 😆

[@RaeC5280]

Girl you KILLED IT. Too many times you see people advertise a giant declutter then they get rid of barely anything. No false advertisement here! Great job ❤

[@gutsguiltgreed639]

The fact you did this bit by bit over a longer period of time is actually SO motivating. Smashing it out in a weekend/week is just not doable for so many of us, but this is actually achievable. Thank you!

[@SM-vd2iz]

Decluttering has helped me take stock of what is important to me over time. First time I did a large declutter, it was mostly stuff I had accumulated over the years that had lost their connection to me in the present. It was like finding myself in all this stuff I had. So now what I do have reflects me and makes me happier, even if it still seems like a lot at times. I also have a better understanding of what I enjoy so when I purchase new things they stick around longer and I don't need as much.

[@tofugoob]

OHHH YESS I relate to all of this so much. I wanna get to that point where truly everything I own feels relevant but I think it’ll be an ongoing process to get there!

[@soniccookie655]

I appreciate the moments you can have remembering who you used to be. And then you can move on by getting rid of the stuff you don't need anymore!

I haven't met a single other person in my friend group that "hoardes" items for sustainability reasons other than me!! that was super validating that you shared that with us. I thank you cause seeing you let go has given me inspiration to do the same. For example, I keep every single gift bag and wrapping paper I ever receive.... like for what!?

[@sarahrisbey1902]

I really appreciated that you didn’t buy anything to declutter!! Makes it feel real and is great to see

[@HueTeaLeaf]

Please film more declutter videos in the future if you do them! This was great. Stuff is constantly coming into our lives and I have found it helpful to loosely follow a every month get rid of 30 things for 30 days” rule.

[@juliekuberski]

[@evah2911]

honestly this was so motivating to watch because it's so real. i relate to a lot of the things you hang onto for longer than necessary like boxes, empty plant pots, etc and feel a lot of guilt and sadness abt the idea of getting rid of things but this video makes me feel a lot less intimidated by those feelings. thank you for showing me that this is achievable for me too

[@fen-harel]

Watching this as motivation to declutter my room. I am a massive sentimental hoarder and a “what if I need it” hoarder but I loved when you said that you could always repurchase something if you ever needed it/wanted it in the future but right now you don’t. That mindset instantly made me think of how much I could get rid of because I never use it and I’m just keeping it in case i ever do.

im the biggest fan of decluttering videos(im basically monica geller irl) and i have quite easily seen every video out there on decluttering. but girl this is VERY easily the most satisfying and genuine decluttering video ive ever laid my eyes on. instant follow.

[@VanillaflavoredSora]

I tried starting my decluttering journey March 2023 when I had a full week off of work. I agree, I regret taking that time to do that rather than just not be stressed out. I also only went through my clothes and books in that week. I got rid of 90 books and 4-5 bags of clothes but then I also struggled with how to get rid of them and it wasn't until July I finally had a garage sale, took them to a used clothes donation place and sold my books at the used bookstore. Now it's getting to be the end of the year and this video has motivated me to remember the rest of my house and just go for it!

[@jackiemartin7276]

Learning about fabric recycling has really helped me in my own de-cluttering journey! There are places (sometimes bins or clothing stores depending on where you are geographically) were you can take you unusable fabrics like destroyed shoes or holey socks and they'll be recycled! Not a perfect solution, but one step above the landfill!

[@Widdekuu91]

Do be careful, I know a similar factory and they are selling them to fetishists. I confronted them on Facebook and they blocked me without answering.

[@user-kv8nx9oj5v]

Ugh yes, I also keep random packaging like the stuff you had in the top of your closet! Sometimes it's really high quality, well-designed packaging and feels so sad to throw away?? But I have also not found a use for any of it in the years I've been hoarding it, so... (The one exception was a cookie tin that I now use to store sewing supplies!)

[@dianagrace776]

Same here, I have soo many boxes lol

[@virginiagreen6398]

Yes I can relate to the box hoarding. Guilty! I am actually in the middle of cleaning my apt and getting rid of stuff. Your video has given me a boost to keep on going. Lol not a wise choice doing it while I am on PTO but it has to be done. 😊 😊😊

[@AbigailM231]

I 100% do lol, I will say that going to the container store and getting a label maker helps so much and makes everything so pretty, I feel like it makes me try harder to stay organized

[@pbannj]

I definitely get the box/packaging hoarding! One thing I'll say - I regret getting rid of certain types of gift bags, shipping paper and good tissue paper, but I never regret getting rid of old boxes and styrofoam. When it comes to giftwrap, anything that's sparkly or shiny isn't recyclable. If I can reuse packaging paper as giftwrap, it's recyclable for the giftee and relieves some of that guilt in a purposeful way :). In regard to recycling - I was a recycling educator for two years and have been in the sustainability industry for 12. If any viewers aren't sure what they can recycle, please remember NOT to recycle according to what the packaging says (kudos to tofu goob for educating herself and knowing little strips of paper aren't recyclable!). Recycling is LOCAL and varies. Check out your recycle hauler's website, municipality site, and local advocacy group info. Tons of good info, just not from product manufacturers :( If you're feeling a lot of guilt about your waste stream, try to shop your home first, then hit the thrift stores before buying new (both options are 100% guilt free)

[@blainey73]

I know you posted this video 3 months ago, but it really did help me. I was searching youtube for motivation and searched best way to declutter an apartment and yours was one that showed in the results. I love seeing the reality of it taking you 7 days and that you had to take breaks. I get very distracted and discouraged thorough out the process. And I as well get overwhelmed with what I want to keep and how I will dispose of or get rid of the items I'm not using. Thank you for being real and sharing your decluttering process!

Omg no poor baby! That plant is healthy and growing in its natural shape! It's used to growing on walls and is perfect for a living wall! I love that plang and I was actually surprised how big it is! And I actually believe you can just cut them shorter and stick them into the earth, they'll grow new roots and live on🙈 that's at least what I've learned in my internship at a great gardening place

[@haldiroot]

Decluttering for me is such a fun experience! It's sometimes a struggle for me to differentiate between "I like and will use it this" and "I don't like this/I like this but not in a way where I can use it" when thinking about what things I want to keep, but I'm getting better at trusting my decisions. I'm glad you got to simplify your space!

[@sashalexia]

This video is everything. The mindset that you have about guilt and hoarding is exactly how/why I have little weird piles of useless stuff all over my little apartment. I’ve tried several times to declutter but I’m re-inspired to tackle it again. Thank you! ❤️

I love seeing that you took your time doing this! When I started my journey into what I like to think of as philosophical minimalism (IE, only having things that serve multiple purposes and that bring me joy, vs just Not Having Things) I jumped into the decluttering process way too hard and wound up with a lot of really severe decision fatigue. Taking your time with any kind of decluttering can help you process the way that you want to live and help you know what you really value in your space. You did a great job! I hope your home makes you happier than ever!

I'm loving that you understand you can have Maximalist design in your home, without the clutter. It's definitely two different things, though it's difficult to understand for some. I think your artist's soul has helped you with this. :)

[@hotgarbage417]

I want to thank you for this super realistic declutter video. I identify so hard with the guilt you feel over getting rid of individual items, and how overwhelming it can feel to go through stuff and decide on each item. Sometimes I feel somewhat emotionally attached to items and it makes it so difficult to get rid of stuff. Like maybe some trinkets people bought me, or a birthday gift. They were thinking of me when they bought it, so how could I possibly get rid of it?! But I've been doing really well at breaking through that type of thing and I'm working on decluttering my entire house. Thank you so much for being raw and honest and real about what real-life decluttering can look and feel like!!

You did a great job! Decluttering is def an ongoing process. I’ve learned to trash/donate things immediately when they no longer serve me. Another thing is to give yourself boundaries for categories that you can’t surpass. There’s a lot of self talk to let go of stuff because of guilt or you may need it someday.

[@blondewithhalfabrain]

Thank you so much for sharing this journey because it really helped put into perspective for myself how long the journey can be and how it’s okay if you don’t get it done in one day or even one week.

[@robinking3255]

Thank you for showing a real life, realistic decluttering job. With many videos, people show themselves running around like they're on speed. You don't really learn anything.

[@juliasherwood697]

It was really refreshing to see someone so similar to me in habits be able to clean so thoroughly. I have also struggled with mild hoarding and guilt upon getting rid of things. I also feel it's particularly difficult for creatives to purge like this because art usually takes a lot of "stuff." I love how you stayed true to your maximalist vibe, while still making it not feel cluttered. I'm currently in the process of revamping my childhood bedroom and trying to teach myself that it's okay (and good!) to get rid of things. So sincerely, thank you for this video :)

I’m just taking a motivational bath and watching decluttering videos to set me in a good mood!

[@margiepickle]

I also have a hard time with trying to get rid of things responsibly and sustainably. so I’ll hold onto something for years because it’s too painful to let it go to a landfill, or recycling, or even a thrift store, where it might still end up at a landfill. But in the end, I have to be realistic about my space so I don’t become a hoarder lady with piles of unused stuff and garbage. But it definitely still hurts, so I’ve started to channel that pain into slowing way down on what I bring IN to my space, rather than fretting about what I have to take OUT. Every time I reach for something at a store, or put things in an online shopping cart, I remember the pain of getting rid of all those other things, and it helps me think twice about whether I want to become responsible for that object. It’s really helped!

[@annelot1998]

Watching this as inspiration before I declutter my own apartment. PRO TIP: I'm not sure where you're located, but near me, we have a place called SCRAP Creative Reuse, which would take things like those Barre bands and boxes and bra pads and anything that makes you think "someone could use this for something." SCRAP has several locations around the US, so they might have one near you!

Intentional buying is a big part of the decluttering process. Bringing things into your space from now on that are purposeful and quality can mean you buy a lot less, but attach more meaning to those new things so they last you longer as well.

[@Justbooksmusiccatsandapen]

I've been living my own for 23 due to circumstance I move about every year year/year and a half. I've been doing the baskets and bins thing since way before the craze. It works so well for me due to balance issues and being short. They either come from the dollarstore or they've been built for me. I have 17 tote boxes for my entire apartment. I have kept the same amount of tote boxes for 23 years. I make sure that when I move I can pack up and go they why the baskets and bins come in handy. And they always fit in every apartment that I've had. I'm not a minimalist but over over purchase either. If you do the boxes and thing it tends to keep your stuff organized where you can find it almost immediately, it contains what you have and kind of mentally tells you what you can bring in and what you can't. When I was in my second year of high school I took a home economic class and we were taught to knit sew and all that stuff. I hated it due to hand dexterity issues. My meme would fix the hole and the next morning I would get up and half of it would be done 🤣.. I would love to say that she passed the class with 96.. I still have them because she passed away in 2007. You did a really good job. Can't imagine how overwhelming that must have been for you.

[@maloriemurphy184]

Thank you for posting this! I watch decluttering videos and yours made my mind click. While watching I saw clothes that you were giving away that I'd love to have and it made me realize (as I'm currently decluttering myself) that me giving away clothes I don't like or wear can make others appreciate and love them more than I can.

Equally, the trash items that come in packaging are so sad to toss :(

I loved the video, this is very realistic and motivating. Not wanting to throw things away and ending up hoarding them is so relatable 😖 You show a great example on how to declutter - day by day, in small increments, stopping if you're tired. This is certainly the way to go 💪

Loved the realistic struggles of decluttering lol .. why is it so mentally taxing? Tip for those of us who say we're gonna sell stuff but don't or don't have the space to think about it: there are two options I've utilized in the past (specifically for clothes, bags, shoes - that kind of stuff) that I love!! ThreadUp is an online thrift store for women's apparel and the like. ForDays has an amazing program set up for sustainable closet cleanouts called the Take Back Bag. Both companies send you large bags with shipping labels to send your stuff to them. ThreadUp you can choose to sell your items similarly to online consignment & you'll get money to use toward your purchases or I think you can also cash out for a lower amount. ForDays responsibly donates, recycles, or throws out items sent to them - only 4% ends up in landfills (unlike GoodWill). For me these are awesome alternatives to remembering to actually take my things to donate/sell and I know the companies are helping towards a more sustainable fashion future.

I like a lot the fact that you try your hardest to recycle and give things a new life as much as you can,the fact that you don't let anything go to waste unless it's ABSOLUTELY necessary❤

You motivated me!! I paused a few times to go declutter stuff throughout the day and will do more tomorrow! Thank you so much 🥹🥹

[@rebekahcalo]

Damn.. "I'm really prepared for stuff I'm not even doing" hit me! I laughed out loud and replayed several times. Gonna repeat that line when I start decluttering all my unnecessary packing supplies tomorrow.

this was the most authentic, natural and fun declutter video i’ve ever seen! thank you for cheering up my day and inspiring me to be less wasteful. you rock :D

[@seeleygirl6178]

Omg I adore your whimsical art work!! So adorable!!

[@HumdrumCurio]

So inspiring ❤ clutter has been ruling my life lately. I need to get started!

I feel like I can really relate to you in terms of the things you keep excess off, the things that are hard to get rid of, and the reasons you end up keeping things. I also have my packaging materials hoard and random plastic tidbits because I have to take them all the way to a store that recycles plastic film. So I found this super useful. Things I'm taking away from your example include leaving sorting the "Things to Get Rid Of" to the end and also remembering to not prepare too far in advance for the seasons I'm not in yet. Thank you so much for sharing!

love this perspective. just put them aside and don't feel pressured to decide how you will get rid of it right in that moment.
