Hi Becky. One tip I have- my husband and I don’t drink coffee like the person you mentioned in your video. I used to also keep a coffee maker for when we have get togethers. One day it dawned on me to declutter it and just buy some instant coffee for guests instead. It’s been working perfectly😊 Another tip for those who love throw pillows- buy zippered covers instead. Craft stores and Amazon sell them in all different sizes so you can buy some that fit your particular pillows. They’re so easy to store and switch out when you’d like. Also, instead of a picture wall, I’ve bought one collage picture frame that fits multiple pictures. I’ve put our favorites from over the years in it and I can easily change them if I want to update it. I’ve decluttered everything you’ve mentioned in this video except for books. I just can’t part with them. They bring me so much joy and make our home feel so cozy😊 Thanks for the motivation❤❤❤

I’m with you. I can’t part with my books. I pass on my fiction books because I know I won’t read a second time. I keep all my nonfiction books . I need to get rid of my rubber stamp collection but it’s so hard

@@g.970 I occasionally get rid of some books if I didn’t enjoy them the first time around, but if it’s something I loved reading I’ll typically hang on to it whether it’s fiction or non fiction. As for your rubber stamp collection, if it’s something that’s bringing you joy and it’s truly hard to part with, maybe it’s a sign to keep it for now. You can always declutter it later in the future when you get to a point where it’s easier to let it go.

Great tips! I’m 100% on board with everything with the exceptions of #1 & #2, but for very good reason! I have a treadmill and lots of indoor plants because I live in a place that has very inclement winters. Sometimes I can’t go for walks longer than 10 mins (that’s if I’m bundled up!) due to extreme cold and short days. Same reason I prioritize indoor plants - the long, cold winters make it so we don’t see any greenery outside for many months at a time. Both are important for my mental/emotional/physical health. Another tip re: furniture - we don’t have furniture that our robot vacuum can’t get underneath. No need to move anything!

Very, very minimalistic orientation. I'm with you on de-cluttering extra water bottles; holiday items; large furniture and extra tables (extra furniture in general). My challenge is letting go of books (working on it). But really, for wall art/photos keep a feather duster on hand. Wall art keeps a home from looking sterile and too empty. Once in a while cleaning the glass fronts doesn't require massive bandwidth. Extra blankets are very useful for company, power outages, & kids like to make forts out of them. Keep a min. of one extra per family member (put them in a bin with your emergency supplies (e-radio, lantern, etc. - hope you do have e-supplies).

We each have a level of decor we find comfortable ❤️ I can’t tell anyone else how much they should or shouldn’t have because we are all just so different. It is a lot of bandwidth for me and I’d rather spend my time watering my plants or playing with my daughter then dusting pictures I don’t really need to be happy

That's so funny when you make realizations like having more bottles of window cleaner than actual windows. While decluttering, I realized I have a lifetime supply of gift bags, maybe even a generational supply! I also recently filled the trunk of my car with bed linens and donated them to a local animal rescue to use or sell in one of their yard sale fundraisers. I gave them our Christmas tree and all the decorations/ornaments too and that sold very quickly for them. The only few years we were able to put it up was when we didn't have a pet, so it had some sadness associated with it. Now, we have a bunny that would 100% chew through the cords and ruin the lights so it felt like the right time to let it go to a home that could actually use it. We've always been happy with our cute little tabletop tree anyway!

I often would have workers come by to help me with odd jobs around my place, the number one thing they always say is that my place is so peaceful and clean. One man even told me that he hates to go home because it‘s so cluttered and his wife just cannot let go of anything. another friend of mine‘s husband asked me if I could help his wife and I did, we spent three days declutterring. Two years later, the place was all filled up again. Owning less, is definitely beautiful, calming, and definitely conducive to attract love.

Love this video. I cleaned out the linen closet the other day and we only have 2 sets of sheets for our bed, 3 beach towels (I use them for giving the dog a bath) and we have 2 towels each and more hand towels and wash cloths. But I love my Minky Couture throw blankets and we have a lot of those but we love them. But we've gotten rid of a lot of things and its been amazing. Our new motto is if we love it, use it, need it or wear it then it stays otherwise it's out. I'm working on the attic and the holiday decor and next year will be the basement cause it's gonna take more time. We have 4 christmas trees and I'm only keeping 1 of them and going through all that stuff soon. But it feels like our home can breath now which is amazing. I also have some furniture we are getting rid of next year also when the community has there garage sale. I love following you cause I feel you are relatable.

So happy with that! I love the look of plants but have zero luck keeping them alive. Yours look so healthy and happy! Did I miss the link to your cleaning product, Evergreen?

I downsized with the huge furniture. In my bedroom now, I have a bed, small side table curtains and a small table that serves as a desk. I have one pot, one pan. My weakness is towels though, I do not use the same towel because I‘m drying in the intimates parts and between my toes - how am I going to use that towel again? So, I have 7 towels one for each day. The same with underwear 14 panties 2 x 7 days (for the evening after a shower). Bed linen one bedspread, one duvet and two pillow cases and two sheets. I change my bedding once a week and while the one is drying, the other is being used. I can go on and on but honestly, it‘s been absolutely amazing to let go. AMAZING.

Oh! Indoor plants 😢 Actually the easiest category for me to accumulate and the hardest to reduce. I love plants and also dreaming about my own garden but we are living in 2 bed condo in the city. And I thought when you have all indoor plants possible was a good idea. But now I feel overwhelmed by my collection, it is really hard to keep them all in good condition. And recently my son told me that he thinks I love plants more than going for a walk with him 😮😢 So thank you Becky for leading by example! I'll definitely reduce my indoor plants to the minimum - only the most favourite ones

@@minimalease right, however isn't trying to figure out what we like many times inspired by what we see other people enjoying or when advertising? If I see the same stuff suddenly in every other video, especially minimalist themed, I ask myself why and if I would benefit from having this product in my home. I drink a lot of water, but really don't understand the benefit of such a klunkie plastic product, that's really ugly in my eyes. So of course I'm confused, I like to understand other people's motivations and why they like what they like.
