There were so many things I saw you toss that hurt. Paper items can be recycled. Erasers and other school supplies can be donated to the classroom.

I love this video! So funny how you know all the excuses we tell ourselves and show us what really works 😊 thank you!

Thank you. We had a similar rule, if they did not clean up their room after the 3rd and stern request, I swept everything out into the hall and I decided what went back in, but I was not as charitable as Laura, I felt like if she really cherished to thing she wouldn't have left it on the floor.

10:24 when my kids were little, I could not leave the room I was cleaning bc I would be like SQUIRREL!!!! So I had small baskets designated for every room.

My problem is that I end up with several keep boxes that then never get cleared out! How do I keep the motivation going to put everything away?

[@kimmieshimmie]

You can try the “no mess decluttering method” from Dana K White and take it there now. It may seem less efficient when decluttering to take an item there when you recognize it does not belong in the space, however by taking a moment to think of where it needs to go and taking it there, your house is automatically better and you do not end up with the boxes to keep.

I think if your keep box gets to a certain level of stuff, like 1/3 of the box, take 10 minutes to empty that 1/3, then go back to decluttering. Or if you have half an hour to declutter, take 5 minutes of that time to empty the keep box. Also, what if you just give yourself an hour or two of downtime or end of the day when all you do is deal with your keep boxes. If they are very random piles, you can sort through them all with boxes labeled where the items would go. For instance, she had some stuff that would be going to the craft room, some items going to kids' rooms, some items going to the office. Sort all you keeps by where they go, then take the one box to that place.
