I have a question about laundry- I don't see in a small family (say of 1-3 people) why we would do laundry every day. Is there a reason why you say a load of laundry a day.... I usually only have 2-3 loads a week tops to do. Is there something else other than laundry that would be better to put in?

I found doing laundry once, or twice, a week works best for us. I designate a day, start early, and get it done. The one load a day method, for me, was the each-load-got-forgotten method. A lot less stress to have a laundry day. Perhaps this method might work better for others, too.

The idea of creating a starting point system works for me. In my season of life, I live in a small apartment, I make my bed as soon as I stand up, takes about 1 minute. Next is the kitchen, in the time it takes the microwave to make a cup of tea, I can tidy the counters and put away any dishes left to dry. I habitually straighten the sofa pillows and hang up my clothes, so I don’t have that kind of clutter. It takes mere minutes to get the whole apartment presentable. Having a starting point is excellent, eliminates decision making, which would take longer than doing it! The things I do when I get my day started have been automatic. The system works! Thank you for doing what you do.

I have just made a terrible decluttering mistake! My family were away last week and I decluttered my home and it looks SO much better, they all said so when they returned. But in my decluttering haste and over-enthusiasm, I took two large bags to the charity shop and it contained one of two identical coffee mugs belonging to my husband. I figured as they were duplicates, one could go. But he is now asking where the other mug is because they were sentimental to him as they belonged to his late mother. I went to the charity shop this morning but they don't know where it is or if it has been sold. I don't know what to tell him! I also threw out a random small piece of metal I found on the floor, only to discover after the trash was collected, that the metal had belonged to an antique Singer sewing machine my daughter bought recently! Oh help Dawn, I have learnt not to be so impetuous in my decluttering next time - I think it was my desperaton to clear my home but I got carried away with a tight time limit!
@andreamiller6200
Жыл бұрын
@birdsaloud7590 I am hearing your angst and want to see if I could soothe it at all. It is fair to apologize to your husband but I wonder if an eBay or Etsy search could turn up another mug like the decluttered one - if it still really matters with time since your decluttering was done with good intentions even if seemingly impetuous. And as far as the part to the antique Singer sewing machine - I tossed a random bit of metal tubing sitting on my shelf only to realize with dismay that it belonged to a midcentury modern chair that I had acquired. The good news out of that is that I found a furniture refinisher who re-fashioned the entire mechanism of this chair to make it work so well, better than the original, and that discarded metal piece was not needed in the end. I hope that your daughter can find a way to enjoy her Singer even if she does not have that piece, or could possibly find that piece on Etsy or eBay. For what you wish you had not let go of, what you DID let go of created a space of serenity where love can flourish and my hope is that is what you ultimately find you feel when you think about what motivated you to work so hard to make your beloved family feel replenished upon their return.

@birdsaloud7590 I think you have had a couple of lovely replies to your problem. I would like to tell you a story which I hope may help too. A while back, my sister came to visit for a couple of days, with her dog. While I was making lunch and chatting with her; her naughty dog brought a plate crashing down to the floor. Unfortunately, it happened to be an irreplaceable plate: the last of my wedding set from 1973; & my husband has died too, so it was all I had physically left of my wedding. I was pretty devastated, especially as I have a weird sentimental attachment to things (ex hoarder which I have largely overcome). Well, I rationalized he was only a dog and didn't know any better; and anyway, it was only an old plate, so I DID get over it. About 6 months later, my sister gave me a beautiful replacement plate: not identical (she had scoured everywhere and could not find an exact match), but a lovely plate made by the same company. Guess what? I really LOVE the plate my sister gave me. I use it every day and I think so fondly about her every time I see it. At the end of the day, it is the relationships that matter, not the things. Perhaps you could do the same with your husband. Apologize, and do the best you can to make up for the loss. Best wishes.

This was amazing as I could see other items I had donated were already on the shelves for sale! My husband was none the wiser and the first thing I did when I got home was to wash it and give him a cup of coffee in it, remembering to remove the for sale sticker on the bottom of it :) Thank you again.

The dishes had a raised design on them and always mentioned how hard that was to clean with the crusted eggs and other food! I later received those dishes from my grandparents to use in my first apartment, so they brought back all of those memories for my mom! 🤣

Five minutes decluttering a day makes a huge impact. Found four sets of hot rollers and two are going. Soneone will be happy to get them, and I don't need them. That's about one foot of real estate! Yay!

I must be really old 😊 I was following Pam and Peggy, who Flylady came out of, through their books. This was before we had so much on the Internet.

Dawn, I’m so thankful for you. I find your videos the most helpful when it comes to decluttering and organising. Watching one of your videos recently inspired me to clean out and declutter our entry cupboard (which, aside from wardrobes, is the only big cupboard we have). I’d been putting it off for about a year and it was at the point where we would just throw things in and it was so impractical! I set aside half a day to do it and now it looks amazing - everything has a place and everything is in its place (and I’m determined to keep it that way!). I also didn’t buy a thing to do it - just repurposed tubs and containers we already had to group like items. I can’t tell you how good it feels and how much easier it makes things for us all. So thank you for always helping and inspiring 🙏🏼🩷😊

My daily three are Dishes, Laundry, and Making Beds. Once those daily three are done the tidying seems so much easier! Love your channel! Bruce and I both love watching Rusty Judgement together! Love Barb

I am questioning the where to start. You are right about always starting in the same place takes away a lot of the procrastination. I kinda have an order system. This way I never get to certain areas which need my attention SAPP ❣️ That is the reason why I think one should have at least two starting point. One the ones you pointed out and the other the backwards list. So, if you get tired you might still do the always last thing on the list. Thank you for reading and sharing your wonderful thoughts and experiences.

Thank you so much for this motivation!!! I will say, having a “big chunk of time” is great too. My husband took my kiddos on a short trip (3 days) and I was able to accomplish SO MUCH! It was awesome, you are right about decision fatigue. At end of day 2 I was exhausted physically and mentally. But the motivation of only having so much time with “No interruptions” did keep me going, that and coffee!!! 😊 Love this daily 3 suggestion, I tend to try to do too much day to day so this is an idea I am going to implement sporadically to give me more time and space for decluttering!!! Thank you again so much for the encouragement, hints and tips!!!!

For me, I find that the key to getting dishes done is to focus not on the dishes to be washed, but on keeping the dish rack emptied. I've noticed that if dishes start accumulating, it's because I need to empty the dish rack. If the dish rack is empty, they magically get done.

Thank you Dawn your videos helped us declutter and organize our garage. It’s wonderful. Easy to find items and easy to out items away. We got rid of almost 1/2 of the items in our garage!

Congrats on 700K subscribers!! Thanks so much for this video. I have been super overwhelmed lately between the house, my business, my older son moving to homeschooling and my youngest starting PK at a charter school with the worst/longest pickup line on the planet (1 hour and 20 minutes is ridiculous). I have had to severely cut back on the hours I dedicate to my business because of this situation, as well as not being able to handle decluttering at all and barely keeping up with the house. I will be focusing on the daily 3 and see if I can handle that for the next week. It feels like something I can handle even with my energy limits.
