We Quit Decluttering! (And that was fine!) - Less Than One Hour Better

I helped one of my friends declutter in her closet. She was happy with the results so we quit early!

Just love the method of not pulling everything out and putting all over the floor or the bed. That's so overwhelming.

[@olivemaycards]

Love that she saw another spot that could be fixed (so quickly!!) once she realized how painless doing the first area was. Momentum!

My husband and I sold off most of what we owned and put the stuff we were keeping into luggage and we're traveling for at least 6 months in Europe right now. Using trains and our feet, mostly, to get around. We have very little stuff with us. Would you believe that we relatively quickly determined that we have too much stuff? It may not be much compared to the contents of our home, but it's a lot for two people over 65 to be lugging up two flights of stairs and dragging in and out of trains. Yesterday we did a decluttering session. We've identified about one third of the stuff we have that will be donated somewhere before we hop on our next train in a couple weeks. So when Dana says, everyone has stuff to clear out, yes, everyone actually does.

What a fabulous experience! Love this for you guys. 🌻🍄

[@kryxena]

Oh my goodness, that sounds amazing! Have the best time!

This method of decluttering saved me so much frustration this past week! I have health problems that let up just long enough to think everything is going great now, then flare back up and cause me to be almost non-functional for days. I tackled a huge project (back room FULL of stuff) last week, when I was feeling great. I got a lot done for two days, then everything flared up and I spent a couple of days barely able to get out of bed. There were zero worries about what was left undone. Before, I would have had chaos, because I would have had everything pulled out and a disaster on my hands. Super thankful for Dana K White!

[@LoveMeClutterFreeCoaching]

So good to hear! It is a pretty amazing process!

[@granitemoss1451]

I am always grateful to your guests who allow us into their spaces and lives for a beat- they're a blessing to us all. I also love how respectful Dana always is in all the very different scenarios.

[@Ghost-lt4sf]

This! I wish they knew the massive help they have been to me (and I’m sure many other people.) They are examples of real people and real situations. ❤ I sometimes rewatch while I work on my own stuff so I know I’m not alone 🥰

[@michelleskotynsky9426]

My sister calls the duh donations "duh-nations"!!

[@claresmyth9645]

LOVE it!!!

[@hummus6150]

At 2:19 I love your look to camera! If I ever put on a ‘fancy thing’ Dana, I promise I’ll invite you 😂

[@LedgerAndLace]

"I don't have any trash . . . oh, wait!" Hahaha We knew there would be trash. This was WOOO-SAAAAH!

[@carabenfield6414]

My new favorite word!!!

[@jillbrumbaugh8252]

I know I’ve heard it before, but it just hit different today when your friend said it can be a blessing for someone else. YES!! Thank you both!!

[@jenniferdelgado3299]

AMEN!!!

[@grutarg2938]

Yes- holding on to something I don’t really need instead of giving it away is kinda selfish.

[@Elizabeth-490]

My 84 year old mom is needing to downsize. We’ve been doing 30 minutes better once or twice a week and she’s gaining momentum and enjoying being able to get to her things so much easier!

[@elizabethjones2521]

What a great encouragement to spend just 5 minutes can make a happy decluttered space💖🙏🙋🏽‍♀️

[@rebeccamapes1157]

I loved this!! She literally made a space better in less than 5 minutes!! Also, the woman you helped was amazing. Loved hearing her. A real person!!

[@bettyfenwick6337]

I love seeing the hands on experience with your rules! And no mess.

[@LoveMeClutterFreeCoaching]

Marva was so chill for the whole process. :) Great work!

[@llllllllllilillii]

Marva you did so good!!! I'm so proud of you and don't you love that you don't have to take everything out and make a huge mess!

[@saraedge4659]

That was great! I loved that you could teach her the steps, and she asked questions many of us have asked.

[@evasochocki5209]

So glad you had this video today. I was trying to remember the name of your system a couple days ago because I was planning on using it today and tomorrow. "One hour better" Thank you

[@leannhotchkiss9382]

Yay! University of Iowa! 🎉

[@mizzezjones]

I think we need a one hour better with Reid.

[@jenniferdelgado3299]

Thank you both for showing us so we are not alone! 😂

[@gsthompson4592]

If I started pulling everything out.. it would be true chaos. Luv'd Marva's shirt. It really needs to be in my closet... lol. ... Glenda

[@pam81161]

Whoo-saaaaah! My new phrase.

[@StarsHollow214]

Bad Boys2 Will having you cracking up with Woo saah scenes

[@toocooltobeold]

This was so fun. I am going to look up Marva and have a listen. I am not a sports fan but I am a reality show fan.

[@syndey7]

🙌 Thank you, Dana, for your continued motivation to do what we can. Thanks for essentially reminding us to be kind to ourselves.

[@kimberlyvega6639]

Hi Marva! Hi Dana! 👋🏻🙋🏻‍♀️ So fun to see you working together.

[@TheImperfectReader]

I love her shirt.🎉

[@cararevelscrittenton806]

[@neon.neutral]

Need to know more about the thin heel tape! Haha. This was great.

[@lucindawilson5510]

[@oregonk91]

I loved this episode! Very meaningful to see Dana’s steps in real life.

[@johnwolfe2616]

Sue Wolfe- I loved this segment and wish it could have been longer! 👍👌❤️

[@LoveMeClutterFreeCoaching]

Love watching the process in action!

[@brg2743]

Good job!

[@deannasosa8444]

Did not know you were a fellow BSF sister! Now I love you even more! LOL!

[@gweldrod8849]

What is a BSF sister?

[@julies3072]

Yay!! My daughter went to the University of Iowa!!!

[@beverleyb5372]

Hahaha! I always use Woosah! That was a cute moment. Dana, you have a fun friend!

[@llllllllllilillii]

Hi Marva! Hi Dana!

[@GratefulDeb270]

Thank you! ❤

[@heathern9051]

I thought Dana was sitting down. Loved how fast that went since they didn't create more clutter

[@jenpisano5954]

😂when you asked Jennifer if she can fold- I out loud answered YES- I’m JENNIFER too 😂😂😂😂

[@anandabricker3396]

Very cool.

[@NJHeart2Heart]

She was fun :)

[@aslfdjalskjflkajs134]

Great!

[@melindagilbert6989]

💕

[@carolinepierson6776]

WooSah brilliant. My new word. ❤

[@julianamann4972]

Viewing note - the audio problems are worse at the beginning and then get better, so not too bad. How much time was it with the extra time at the end?? (Or did I just miss that?)

[@christinen.6140]

Two minutes at the end so I think about 41 minutes total.

[@queenstatus3049]

Tape down strap up. 😂

[@e-r2961]

Great job you two. Thank you for sharing.

[@StarsHollow214]

Woo sah… one of my favorite scenes from Bad Boys 2 😂

[@cherieiduke1723]

I threw away the good box. The one I have moved from room to room for the last 3 years 😅
