Your home is not a storage unit (How to create a peaceful home)

🌐 please turn on subtitles/subtítulos/字幕/자막/sous-titres/副标题/Untertitel/ซับไตเติ้ล/تَرْجَمة under 'cc' for all languages with auto-translate 🌐
Today I share what I learned from Fumio Sasaki, Virginia Woolf, and William Morris. And I ramble about some of my own thoughts on decluttering.
I talk about these topics:
1. Our home is not a storage unit
2. Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful (William Morris)
3. Our family “rules” for a peaceful home
4. Declutter space for creativity
5. Discard something right now (Fumio Sasaki)
I also like the idea of decluttering like a museum curator. Imagine a museum curator who, instead of carefully selecting and curating exhibits, simply collected everything that came their way. Their museum would be a chaotic jumble of things. A museum, just like a home, is not a storage unit for things.
Later in the video I bring up Virginia Woolf, I didn't mention the full quote, it is as follows: "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction” (A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf). It refers to how financial independence and personal space are essential for creative expression.
The phrase "room of one's own" is not just about a physical space; it represents the ability to create a private, safe space where you can freely think, write, and explore your creative potential. It symbolizes the autonomy and independence that are crucial for intellectual and artistic development.
Decluttering can help us create a more personalized and meaningful home environment, which can further enhance our creativity. By removing unnecessary clutter and allowing ourselves to focus on the things that are truly important to us, we can create a space that inspires us to be creative and to pursue our passions.
By decluttering our homes, we create more space for ourselves to think, write, and explore our creative ideas. We also create a more peaceful environment.
In the video, I also mention the minimalist Fumio Sasaki. If you haven't read Sasaki's book yet, it's called "Goodbye, things". It has many very good practical tips for a more minimalist lifestyle.
My video recommendation for today is "the Minimal Mom's" wonderful video about decluttering: "Radical mindset shifts to declutter your whole house this year", here's the link:
• Radical Mindset Shifts...
In her video, she sorts things in three categories: trash, donate and "time will tell". That's a much faster way to declutter.
Have a great day!

“Your home is not a storage unit” has instantly changed my life 🙏🏼💙

[@calmnordic]

🙏🏼💙

[@michellebeard8066]

Yes! Wonderful concept

[@misottovoce]

Very good advice. Very calm and lovely presentation. I would not say I am minimalistic, but at age 74 I am very aware that one day 'someone' will have to deal with my 'stuff'. I keep on top of it and regularily donate. Alone the thought to burden someone with clearing out my ample house is motivation. Plus, I love the empty space gained. For my mother, an empty space on a piece of furniture or the fireplace mantel meant she had to put something there. One really could not appreciate the furniture and she could never find things because she rarely put them away. I am the opposite..thanks to her bad example.😉 One learns much from parents, including how not to be!

[@calmnordic]

I really appreciate your comment! Thank you for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts! ✨

You are so right. The basics without the blabber! I have had to unsubscribe from several content creators because of the noise, emphasis on money, immaturity, gimmicks, shopping hauls, etc I have just discovered this lovely video & was immediately drawn to it.

[@luciagonzalez4899]

I love this message, we need to keep hearing this especially in America where we are inundated by consumerism!!

[@calmnordic]

Thank you so much for your kind words @luciagonzalez4899 ! ❤

[@1timeslime971]

Consumerism is good>People have jobs, purpose, keeping busy means staying physically fit etc etc etc…In America, we have Room to spread out, which means larger houses for some people. We’ve worked very hard to EARN our private property w/large(er) home. Larger homes and land space equals more things we’ve accumulated. I support local artists/businesses when I can. I make ALOT of my own decor;often from repurposed thrifted items. Anyway…please be careful not to make stereotypes for ALL peoples. The world is bigger than the internet makes it seem….America is bigger……….

[@mindyhale6812]

So true - we are encouraged to pack knick knacks, clutter and more, more and more of things we already have into our display shelves, closets, garages and basements. It increases our stress level and can become a tripping hazard, robbing us of valuable space, attracting insects of all kinds and impossible to keep clean as it piles up. Why? To compete with other women with our home decor, our clothes and shoes, etc. What is behind it? Pride, insecurity, showing off for others. The sad truth is nobody really cares about what you have that you are trying to impress them with. If they like it it's only because they are envious of it and want it for themselves. It is often under the guise of "thrifted" or "DIY" but it is still just amassing stuff... I agree. So tired of the endless babbling on the home tour and shop with me videos bragging about all the stuff.

[@thejuliasaro]

@@1timeslime971 Yes, America is bigger, and we are the butt of jokes around the world for it.

[@bostonbound2323]

I wish I could say this to my MIL, I was raised with the same mindset to not have a cluttered home and only keep things that are truly special and/or meaningful. Not only for the concept or the aesthetics but also for health reasons. Clutter makes a home harder to clean and I suffered from a lot of respiratory issues since childhood. I recently got married and have my own apartment with my now husband. My MIL is an undiagnosed hoarder and keeps things form generations back. She keeps everything! Trying to help us "fill out our apartment" she gave us so many unnecessary things and always makes comments of where we should add stuff and that our home need more. I told my husband the same thing that our home is not a storage unit.

[@calmnordic]

Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@chelseafisher6881]

Your story makes me think about the Swedish Death Cleaning book, what is done with all that stuff after you pass away? My Nan kept every card she was ever given, what could we do after she passed but throw them away? Especially when there’s so many other things to go through. It’s really our personal responsibility to curate what we leave behind so that the most special and meaningful things rise to the surface

[@misottovoce]

I do hope your husband supports you even in the presence of his mother!

[@misottovoce]

@@chelseafisher6881 I purchased a house for my mother across from me and pleaded with her that when she moves here (to Spain) that she seriously throws away things that she has not touched in years, donate, throw away, turn lose of and not keep things out of nostalgic duty simply because someone - no matter who - gave it to her. She came here still with utterly useless things (electrical appliances that will not work with our different voltage) and old bills paid from the 60's etc. Thousands of photos and albums never opened, still in the packing boxes. You can imagine the rest. The new house was still cluttered but became worse within 20 years. Now she lives with me in a garden studio, has dementia and it took me a full year to sort out her 'stuff'. Except for a 3 week break it was a daily 2+ hour ordeal . My resentment was very high as she was often offended when I reminded her nicely to at least put things away, throw away old cosmetics etc. Her answer was 'you can do what you want with it when I die', clearly chosing to let me deal with it. Now she is living very minimalistically, but certainly doesn't notice it.

[@misottovoce]

@@chelseafisher6881 With your card reference to your Nan, I felt a shudder. That was my mother.

[@MrsTicklefeather]

I just recently retired from teaching--teachers tend to hold on to "stuff" A colleague and friend who had retired before me forced me to leave that stuff behind because I did not need more stuff at home. I made my husband and son and his wife watch this video. The title alone was enough to make me realize even more that I am not only doing my self a disservice but my family as well--who will want this stuff? We all need to change our mindset about the amount of unnecessary stuff we hold on to that make our lives less interesting and monopolize our time in trying to maintain items that have no memorable value or need.

[@calmnordic]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's a big step to leave behind the "stuff" of a long career. Congratulations on your recent retirement from teaching! It's a significant milestone and a time for new beginnings. ✨

Why do I even need the stuff I have in there I haven’t moved them in 3 years lol. Thank you so much for helping me. I just pulled out the bins and they are currently blocking the hallway so I have to declutter right now.

[@happychick94]

I have relatives with 'hoarding disorder'. Hoarding disorder is when you don't just have normal clutter, but a form of mental illness that impacts all aspects of your life (similar to other types of compulsive behaviours and addictions). Some people who have grown-up around 'hoarding disorder' inherit the disorder themselves, or they find that clutter triggers anxiety due to bad childhood memories.

[@calmnordic]

Thank you for sharing this. It's a very important topic to raise awareness about.

[@roxanne4534]

I am loving your content and it is fresh and enlightening. I am already a minimalist but love how you are putting together things to remind why and to revisit some of those things.

[@liisaking1247]

Okay, I have to ask. I noticed the plett pan when you had a donate bag and "time will tell" box out. Did you keep it? I found my grandmother's in a box and it's a bit rusty, but I remember her making me pancakes/plättar on it when I was little and I want to keep and use it for sentimental reasons. It turns out there's a whole process to revive cast iron that's seen better days. I also have her (manual) coffee grinder. I still remember her "hyvää kahvia" and breaking up loaf sugar into lumps! (This was at a time when you could easily buy sugar cubes, lol.) Funny how just one image can conjure up so many memories...

I would like to comment respectfully that I noticed when you wash the bathroom or your hands that you have the water running while not using it. As I feel it is important to care for the environment and the water supplies in particular, I believe we should be careful not to waste water. Thank you

[@calmnordic]

Thank you for pointing that out! I'll definitely make an effort to be more conscious of my water usage. Happy New Year! ✨

[@charlottesmom]

Agreed!! I'm constantly yelling at my kids to "Stop wasting water!" A few years back I started shutting off the water while brushing my teeth and shaving my legs in the shower. It all adds up and this Earth only has so much fresh water.

[@meganhuggins7494]

If your ‘stuff’ makes you happy, keeps you content and gives you peace, then keep your stuff! Too many people today try and live their lives the way other people think they should be living. To some an empty space is heaven, to others it is hell. ( I did find the music over bearing) 😊

My goodness, your videos alone give me peace and quiet. It is new year and I plan to spend the day cleaning and organizing. I wish I had the space as many things I have are not beautiful but are useful but are cluttery (records, paperwork, supplies for writing, machines for doing calculations, office and craft supplies, craft projects in progress, kitchen appliances) and I've no place to put them. I have no dishwasher, so I have to wash dishes, pots and pans by hand. I am looking at my full sink and am tempted to just throw all of it in the trash and minimalize by starting over. Just have 4 plates, 4 bowls and 4 mugs and utensils for 4, 1 storage container, 4 glasses, and one baking dish and one cooking pan and throw everything else out, so I will have less to dirty and need to wash. I plan on clearing out my closets. I have many lovely outerwear - coats, jackets, capes, but I have worn only two or three of them in the last 3 years, so I know I will likely never wear the rest of them, so out they go, to Donations. I have a love of Nordic/Scandinavian white/white decor and furniture and still love that, most of my furnishings are white, my bedroom is white on white, very relaxing, but I feel your pain of having all this beige, white and off white decor and furniture and bed clothes...but having a black cat. Black cat hair will be on everything. LOL. My first cat was black and her companion was a light tan color, so I joked I had a black cat to get hairs on white things and a tan cat to get light hairs on dark things. Subscribed.

How would you declutter books? I have books from my parents, and books that were given to me as gifts. I feel guilty giving them away because they are books.

[@calmnordic]

I try to keep the ones that hold the most sentimental value or serve a practical purpose. I did three categories "keep, maybe, donate", and I also gave some books to friends and family. I like to think that the purpose of a gift is to bring joy at the moment of giving. I try to think that I don't have to hold on to the gift indefinitely. It's not an easy process, we still have many books we could declutter.

[@cynthiajohnston424]

I love to read & prefer actual books I can hold . When it comes time to thin out my collection , I pass books on to friends or donate to the local animal shelter's thrift shop , I'm motivated by the good these books will generate . Same w/ other items being donated such as clothes & household items - think of others ! 🥰

If I were renovating my kitchen again, I would have 2 dishwashers, one for clean and one for dirty dishes. These would alternate as dishes are cleaned and dirtied again. Since we use a lot of the same dishes every day, the futile, pointless act of putting dishes away only to take them out again is a waste of time. The storage space given up for a second dishwasher won't be missed if we forego the need to "store" things we will be using again in a few hours.

It’s hard to keep up with the text whilst trying to enjoy the lovely images.

[@calmnordic]

Thank you for your feedback! I will try to find a balance between the text and the visuals, sometimes I maybe add too much text ✨ Have a great day!

Wonderful, thank you

Neither are your garages. Clean it out and park your cars in it.

Unfortunately we have small houses in England... this type of living is just de-clutter porn that is out of our reach. Im proud my house looks like a storage unit, it shows my personality.

Thank you for sharing! Happy New Year!

We have a huge house and I would love it more organized but this sort of "uncluttered" is just not my thing, zero personality showing in the home. But that's just me....😂

This could have been a peaceful, calming video but for the music. Would much prefer the simplicity of the natural sounds of the activity of decluttering - as though I were cleaning my own space. There's almost no place to escape to avoid noise.

Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate your perspective and will definitely take it into consideration for future videos. ✨
