I love your method but I have to ask: where are we donating things like a half used roll of packing tape??? My local Goodwill is NOT going to accept that. They wouldn’t even take unopened brand new packages of yarn. I hate to throw it out but I don’t know where to donate it. Which means I need to spend time researching or brainstorming ideas. Which hinders me from just getting it out of the house! It’s a major stumbling block to decluttering for me when donating is a multi step process 😢

Last week my psychiatrist said I am hopeless....so much more 'wacko' as other ADHD-ers who are taking meds and don't have any problem at all now...She was frustrated because I'm still telling her that I do a lot of things I thought I never could (without medication) but I am still not able to do my administration stuff or chores that take a lot of planning and thinking. I am very, very slow and by all the things I dó, the things I don't do seem to pile up. Well, her reaction hurted a lot... And now I see this video by coincedence....and I am crying now😥because I see and hear someone who understands ánd don't say I need to do this and buy that and after it I had to do so and on and on and on. You tell me: do and stay doing and all what is done is oke 💗 I really needed that. Thank you. I can go from freezing (for more than half a year now after asking for help😥) to doing the things I can. And trusting there will not be 'disasters' if I continue doing that...

Take it there now has been so helpful as I slowed down my decluttering journey…To go at the speed of life. My original motto was “I have to purge my life to get on with my life.” Which is absolutely true. …but kind of fell by the wayside, because whoa…a lot had accumulated last 34 years + Marriage + 4 kids, and I couldn’t pause life for another 3 months! 😂😂😂 “We love because he first loved us.” One of my favorite verses! It was in our wedding program…12 years ago. 😅 I would totally keep that wallpaper up, with a white wainscoting on the bottom to give the eye some rest…. Hahaha. I’m floral obsessed, and surely in a small minority! 😂

Where can I get the download now? The form doesn’t work

*LOOOOOOVE your videos thank you so much!!!!!*

You look beautiful. Great color contrast. I love navy blue. Thank you for all you do. Time the tasks, look at your free time and match the task. Attach an ongoing task with a new one. ❤

Here is Reid's pat on the back. :)

Once again you inspire & encourage me on my decluttering journey!

Do you have a suggestion on how to organize them based on size/shape? Just doing it how it works best??

This is the only decluttering video that helps me. Currently getting stuff out of my house and into black garbage bags.

STOP STOP STOP HOW did you get inside my brain??!!?? you read me like a book!

15 years ago I told my late grandma that I wanted a dishwasher and she replied 'what's wrong with your hands?' so I didn't get one 😂 and I think of her every day ❤

I can see how this strategy would work! It makes perfect sense! Thanks for sharing!

The problem is it doesn’t work on iPad or your iPhone!

As someone with adhd struggling with clutter. This channel isn’t for me. The drawn out over explanation of every single thing picked up. And the added little tip that could be done differently with the thing, but not right now with this thing. 🫨 I’ve tried watching a few of her other videos, but couldn’t get past the first 3-4 minutes. She seems to be a very lovely person, well known, and is clearly an expert on this topic. But, Unfortunately I cannot retain the information long enough to decipher the physical action of what to do with the thing.

I noticed how great your curls looked before you mentioned you'd been working on them! I, too, have been working on mine. Yeah, I can't deal with refrigeration either! Edit: Ouch you threw away my favorite hair brand 😅

I’m doing your black bag clutter method. Love it!

You are one of my favorite people to listen to. You’re funny as well as talented.

Me trying to diy this makes so much sense why I am making such slow progress because I have to do all that extra junk first before I can start fixing stuff

I still keep a few empty baskets around when I am straightening up and I go from room to room returning and taking stuff to where it needs to go without dropping it all. I am older and it takes more energy to run back and forth. Something in a basket can also let you gather the things that need to go to same place. I will not leave it there but use it to give myself a more effective run through the rooms.

Thank you, Bob.

I think you're definitely on to something, but I've found that asking should vs. would helps me better. Because if I run around my 2 bedroom apartment... I'll pass out in a couple of hours... albeit it's small, but I keep a large garbage bag for every room area and I sort from there. There's several bags including one for actual garbage and one to donate/regift.

I have been using your awkward pauses idea this year and it's revolutionized the state of my kitchen. And every time i do it, i think of you. Thanks so much Dana! 💗

Your method is so helpful. I've made so much more progress rather than pulling everything out and making a huge mess. Thank you!

*subscribed* I need more help

..... if its put in the rubbish bag..... i need it to stay in the rubbish bag too though..... and not be getting up in the middle of the night thinking... actually I should keep that..... 🤦‍♀

6:46 "I cant identify trash" ..... omg.... 😭 this is so relatable.... I look at everything and there is literally nothing to throw! Everything can still be kept.............

3:10 "We are not here to rearrange" 😭 Thats exactly what I used to do when trying to declutter...... and it always ended up seeming like there was more than there was, and I got so overwhelmed!!! 😭 Deff going to get rid of more stuff this month though 💪 Let it all GOOOOOOO!!!!!

Must be nice to actually have bathroom cabinets. My bathroom's mess comes from that I have no cabinets and I must keep everything in open space. 😐

Wow, I don't know why this video resonated with me, but it did. My husband says I'm a hoarder, because I have every closet, cabinet, nook and corner filled with stuff. Getting rid of stuff is hard for me and I really don't know why. I thought tackling my small walk-in closet would be a good starting place now that I don't work amnd mostly just wear casual clothes. I've managed to clear out some stuff after several attempts, but a lot more still needs clearing! Wish me luck, because I'm going to apply your steps 📦🗑️

Sending appreciation from the UK. No matter how many times I think I've learned everything possible about decluttering from you, Cass or Dawn, I can tune into any of your older podcasts and still gain so much insight! Thank you so much. I've done my sentimental and identity items 3 times this week. I find with a day's break, when I return, it is easier to let more go on the second and third attempts. Biggest achievement this week ...downsizing my 300 DVDs to 150 (very hard as this is identity clutter I have built into a collection over 20 years!) Thankfully I keep them without cases, so they fit into two small Ikea 16cm x 16cm NIMM boxes! And a whole black bag of old letters and cards went too this week! So today, I looked at my huge sideboard and thought, you know what, with a bit more effort, I could probably declutter to the point where the few items left can go into a different storage place and I can get rid of the sideboard. Success! I spoke to a charity shop today and they are picking it up tomorrow. I can't believe how excited I am, at the thought of getting rid of it and having more floor space in my living room! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This is life changing advice!!! I have started doing this and feel like I have finally made a huge breakthrough in my attitude. Imagine--doing one small thing can change your life!!! Thank you so much, you are my queen!!!!

I like no stuff.

I will miss you. I decided to use your declutter for my bedroom. It's so pretty now, I am not even good at decorating

Thank you SO much. I’m a single mom with 3 jobs and severe ADHD. It is SO overwhelming, and I always freeze. We downsized from 1700 sq ft to 900 sq ft, so it’s even *more* difficult now. THANK YOU!!!

Omg thank you!!!!!

Have a great summer, Dana!

I thought the agreement was ONE RECLINER

you are simply the best! thank you

I was trying to look for the video that you focused on the "where would you look for this first", "and if I don't think of any place immediately, would I even remember that I had this". But I couldn't find that video, so please feel free to repost this for me elsewhere if you want. I think this is an AWESOME example!!!! I have a kitty vet appointment today for my kitty so I took down her carrier that stores on the top shelf in my closet. Inside I know is a little pillow for her that I intended she would sit on to pad her ride, but instead she likes to hide under it. She's a scaredy cat with everyone but mommy:( Today when I took it down off the shelf, instead I noticed a bottle of Feliway calming spray that I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT I HAD!!!! BUT that's the beauty of where I stored the spray bottle!!!! I got to spray her carrier today, actually USE the item that I purchased (about a year ago to calm them both during the move from CA & there was some left)!!! When I was organizing my living room couch-side table and it used to live in the drawer, I was like 'ill never look for this in here, but WHERE would I look for it? NO where, bc I wouldn't even remember that I HAD it! ...but then I had the idea what if this particular item I didn't have to LOOK for, it just jumped out at me when I NEEDED it most???' lol And it worked like a charm!!!!

I needed this, thank you so much.

Take it there NOW!!! Helps identify the reality of the space.

You are hilarious 😅. I do have a piece of hair.😅😅😅. Where would I look for it 1sr? 😅😅😅 and theeths. 😅😅😅

How did you came up with those questions?

You are amazing. Thank you for making it simple 🎉

This is an interesting concept. As someone with mild adhd, cleaning the house (all 3 levels) can be overwhelming and by the time you get 1 and 2 done, you're too tired or ran out of time for 3, then feel guilty when that doesn't get done often enough. Also, I'm working on getting rid of stuff so that everything has a place to be put away, because the more things that are out that I have to move in order to clean like when sweeping\mopping, cleaning the shower, wiping all the countertops and table off, the less often those things will be cleaned.

OMG light bulb moment!!!!💡 The first layer is where I get overwhelmed...then I start crying😭. I have a family of 5 and its SO HARD to get to the finish line with cleaning.

We’ll miss you, Dana! Hope you and your family are having a good time ❤ I’m gonna go through your backlog of what I missed during Winter/Spring!

thank you so much ❤
