When I was decluttering 'big time' I took digital pictures of unused sentimental items. I also prayed over all items...that the next 'steward of my stuff' will be blessed & have a happy life. Doing these 2 things made & still makes letting go a breeze! ♡

@@AmyWhickerTutor , oohhhh..that is a good one. I have some of those DOOM containers. I will say, most of mine have like all books, all keepsakes from my growing up, one or two filled with photos. Some others are the real DOOM ones with hodge podge stuff in them. I open them up to go through them, just to put stuff back in and close the lid. Probably the whole thing should be trashed. I wouldn't remember what is in them anyways. sigh.....

I have *definitely* done a lot of organizing clutter. I look at a mess and ask myself, “How can I contain this?” instead of, “Which of these items do I need to keep?” 😂 I am a champion at skipping steps.

My mom is a very healthy 87 year. She strictly believes that she can’t let go of anything because she paid money for it. Every surface in her house is used for some type of storage for something. She truly believes she needs everything! She’s one very stubborn woman. She’s even saved all her money and won’t spend a dime for any upgrades for her home. Her home is well maintained and her large yard is gorgeous all due to her hard work. She’s an amazing woman with a lot of stuff. I’m very fortunate in so many ways. I’m grateful for her and just let her be.

I recently watched a short from someone I never saw before but I liked what she said. She said if you’re trying to declutter don’t ask “Do I need it?” because anyone can find a reason why they need things and justify reasons to keep things. She said to ask yourself, “Can I live without it?” That made a lot more sense to me. Her logic mixed with what you do would work great together. Now if I can only get through my freeze response from my PTSD. 😢

I think that is a good start however I am hesitant to use that as a make or break in a decision. I guess I prefer Marie kondos "does it spark joy" method better in the sense that as our life and dislikes change over the years I may have bought something that I enjoyed at the time of purchase but doesn't fit my life now. That's not so much that we.can live without it as much as "if it doesn't have a purpose and doesn't bring happiness to my life why do I keep it?!?"

Cass, you truly are funny. I get the "adult" cruise issue. We moved to an "active 55 community". I was 65 and fairly active. I don't run but I do like to do things. Well, it was early winter so no one was outside really and when spring came, all you saw were walkers and wheelchairs. All the "clubs" were knitting or sitting exercising. Not at all what I thought "active 55" meant! Good luck with your cruise. I have never been and really don't have any desire to go. I am not an eater, don't stay up late, don't like crowds, don't drink. I like to WALK on the beach and be alone. I also have a fear of being on a ship and everyone is sick.

Storage bins do not have to be expensive. Free boxes are available from the P.O. While still flat, I covered them in Contact paper from DT. The long, skinny boxes cut in half are the perfect width for canned and bottled groceries in my pantry and keep stacked cans from falling over. I have bought photo storage boxes or clear plastic shoe boxes when on sale for $2.50 each. I LOVE my china cabinet just for pretty things to look at--memories of mine, Mom's and Grandma's. Anything else can be done differently, but don't change my china cabinet! It makes me feel good to look at it, so serves an important purpose.

My husband and I went on a cruise and we enjoyed ourselves but neither of us ever have the desire to do it again. We discovered all-inclusive resorts and love them! That way, if you feel like laying by the pool, you can, but there’s always nightly entertainment and tons of excursions to go on. You can do so many different things, or nothing at all! Some resorts are child friendly and some are adults only. We are sold on that type of vacation! Check some out- maybe they would fit you and your family better than a cruise! 🤷‍♀️😊

Thank you for your wonderful organizing videos. I’m hooked on them! I moved into a rental apt 6 yrs ago after 40 years in a home, and have been trying to figure out how to stick with purging, sorting, and organizing ever since. 4 yrs ago I started sorting my piles of paperwork, but had a devastating loss, so now the piles just keep on growing. Last year I made a big dent with my clothes, but got sidetracked with long term flu-like symptoms. With 40+ yrs of paperwork, clothes, jewelry, kitchen pantry, fridge/freezer, dishes, cookware; bathroom toiletries, medicine, first aid, hair, skin, makeup, laundry room, combination guest room/music room/study/catch-all room; and a garage full of boxes & tubs full of stuff all screaming at me, my 71 yr old ADHD brain is overwhelmed. I want to begin (again) and I’m tempted to start with paperwork since I’m afraid if anything happened to me, no one could find anything. I heard one of your guests say it can take 3 years to declutter and organize an entire home and this actually gives me hope. I lose steam by the afternoon, but if I can start & stay focused in the mornings, I’m hoping I can get through the paperwork part. It feels like lions and tigers and bears, OH MY!!!

8:50 Those big totes are actually my favorite organizing bins ♥ The thing is, you've gotta use them right. You touched on the primary mistake in your critique of how they're usually used: they can't house multiple types of things. They have to be specific. In my case, I use them for craft supplies, and each individual bin is for a specific category of supply, i.e. fabric, embellishments, paper craft supplies, wood pieces, etc. And they should always be LABELED with that category on the side of the bin. Beyond that, to keep things organized within each bin, I find that zip bags are the best way to go (either 1 gallon or 2.5 gallon, depending on what you're storing). Zip bags can be labeled easily, and they're flexible (unlike plastic storage containers), which means that as long as what you're storing isn't susceptible to "squish" damage, you can fit a lot of them in a given bin. If you follow the 20% rule (13:41), you can usually find what you want by rummaging around. But even if the bin is so full you have to pour everything out to find what you're looking for, since everything's contained in zip bags, you can just toss them right back in. They don't have to be in any kind of "order," just related to the bin's overarching category. TL;DR You can totally use big bins effectively, but you need to be thoughtful and purposeful about using them. They can't just become catch-all's.

Apparently big Disney fans and had lots of points to get private this and special that. Thinking of both when my nephew and a previous boss carried their young daughters to Disneyworld and the joy in their daughter’s faces made the dads cry…I imagine the youngest children would be over the moon on a Disney cruise but I was surprised that adults loved them too.

This was a really good video, because it took a step beyond decluttering to talk about organization systems that work to make your life function better. Not Zoning was a very good point; yes in kitchens where dishes should be near the dishwasher and sink and things you need to cook with should be near the stove. You add a video a month ago about "Friction", where you talked about organizing so one removes the obstacles to accomplishing a task. I wanted to exercise more and also be more regular about grooming the dogs, but setting up and taking down for both activities in the same space caused me to not be as consistent at either one! So I zoned a downstairs room for exercising only, with the treadmill set up, and the gym mats in front of the TV with the DVD players. And I moved the dog grooming out to a zone of the garage, ALSO setup all the time. The garage space required me to organize the other part of the garage, and yes, some paint cans had to go to get that done! So not zoning is a big mistake to functional organizing. But for beauty organizing, it also looks better, to! Thanks.

I've done 2 cruises to Alaska, one with Holland America, the other with Princess. 2 weeks each one and both were fantastic but we liked being more pampered with this particular cruise from Holland. Princess was more get up and run. Holland I have to say for the most part is one of those geriatric type cruises but depending on where you're traveling, they have their merits. Royal Caribbean & Princess are good middle age everything. Carnival is lots of kids with the adults partying hard, throwing up, and then some.

Retirees who cruise have more disposable income than most people with small children. So, that's a fact of life. My mother took me and my 3 school age kids on a 5 day/4 night cruise after we were all in a major car accident a number of years ago, as part of the whole healing process. (And also because we all could have died and she wanted us to do something special together.) It was lovely. The kids ran all over the ship and called us to say where they were and where they were going next. We left from LA and went to San Diego, Catalina Island, Ensenada Mexico, and back to LA. (The day after Catalina is spent at sea.) We finished off with a couple of days at Disneyland. There were only a few other kids on board, true, but they made friends quickly and hung out with them a lot. We went shopping together on Catalina and took a glass bottom boat excursion, as well as going into Ensenada together but a lot of the time was just quiet, recharging time for my mother and for me. The kids mostly entertained themselves. Disney was where the focus was really on them. It was great. I'm glad we did it. My then-teen (youngest kid) and I were scheduled to take a Caribbean cruise at the end of March 2020. You know what happened with that, right? We ended up getting a Covid puppy instead, as a sort of consolation prize. My daughter is now 21, married, and just had a baby. We won't be cruising together any time soon. If I were to take a cruise now, I think it would be an Alaska one, especially as I live in Vancouver!

Thanks for the hints, Cas! I love your tips. BTW, building piles, of which I'm guilty, there is a saying where I live (translated from regional dialect): "The devil will always shit on the largest pile." I have struggled a lot on defining the zones in my apartment. Yes, there is one hint I took from Jennifer on the channel "How to ADHD", a video that made me divide my available space into zones. My demise is a set of interests, like knitting, crocheting, beading, papercrafting/scrapbooking/card-making, watercoloring, and embroidery. D'ya have a hunch? Jennifer's video told me about he "point of performance". Where am I doing the craft most of the time? That's where your supplies are supposed to be stored close by. I love knitting, crocheting, and embroidery in my comfy TV chair. Close to the chair is the storage of all the supplies I need for those interests. Card-making and scrapbooking have a shared zone, where the supplies are only a step away from where I need them. Easy access and easy clean-up. Oops, wait, where do you store your machines (die-cutting, paper-trimmer, stamping platform, laminator (or foiling machine))? I have a rack on casters for those, which is easy to move to my work-station. or back into its corner. In the meantime I also have a "landing zone", a place where I put the mail, opened, of course, (invoices, letters, etc). Where I live on this planet I no longer need a car. Taxis and public transportation do the trick, so my key-ring is small, one for my apartment and one for the mail-box. Yet, I'm far from finished with organizing. I see a light at the end of the tunnel, though. Again, Cas, you're one of my supports on YT.

Our one and only cruise experience was to Alaska for my in-laws’ 50th anniversary with the whole family. It was a good mix of activity on the ship (RC Ovation of the Seas) and excursions. Our kids (ages 7 to 16 at the time) loved the cool activities on the ship - iFly, rock climbing, North Star, Flowrider and unlimited soft serve cones. :) I liked the excursions more than being on the ship, but the whole experience was such a gift. Within a month, my MIL was diagnosed with cancer, within 9 Covid had shut the border, and within 16 she passed away. My takeaway was to spend time with the ones you love and don’t take it for granted.

I create containers. My husband empties it and puts things down somewhere. He's horribly disorganized. So he sets up his own system and does the same thing. I greatly limit stuff that comes in. Mail gets sorted and tossed into my paper recycling bag. It helps. Limiting the clothes I wear helps, too. I have very few ingredients in my household cleaners, so 3 bottles is more accurate in my house. We took a dinner cruise for our 30th wedding anniversary. It was fun, and we'd love to do it again. They had a lovely buffet and dancing. The singer was a local girl. I'm 58 and can do the things, too.

We used to go on Royal Caribbean, they had camp for the young ones, teen activities for the older ones including a teen night club and lots to do. I assume they are still like that since their ships are getting bigger with more fun things to do.

I just hired a professional organizer and she always talks about defining each space and giving it a name. The whole family should know what I mean when I say the "baking drawer" and, by naming it, I'm already limiting what goes in it. It's been really great for me. Each cubby, drawer, and shelf is defined by its name and purpose. My laundry room is also a mud room and baby changing Station. It becomes a drop zone for everything. But we defined each space, decluttered, got the right containers, and VOILA! The space functions now!

We took our kids (when they were 19, 10, 8 & 6) on a Norwegian cruise to Alaska. It was wonderful for all of us. The kids club had a ton of activities for the kids that we could check them into while out at sea. They loved it and I loved that they were kept busy by a background- checked, fun and loving crew!

I’m obsessive about organizing and decluttering, but when we bought our current house here in Maine, I was totally intimidated by my kitchen. I’ve always had a large kitchen with a ton of storage. This small house has about 7x12 feet of floor space, and a couple of semicircle cabinets, not well thought out when it was built. But since we bought this house for other reasons than the kitchen 🤣, I really had to find some way to zone this tiny space, still keep the minimalistic feel, and be functional for my baking and cooking addiction. Thank you for so many of your ideas and thoughts on this matter because after living here for 6 months, I was able to really think it out properly. But, I decided to not make big changes for a few months, just to figure out what my new kitchen habits would be in this house. Last week, I ordered and received the bins I needed, organized each cabinet for my “zones”, and this tiny kitchen is now my FAVORITE kitchen I’ve ever had. Thank you so much. PS - I even have empty space on some shelves, and counters are almost clear. I’m giddy!

A cruise is my idea of a nightmare. It is a floating boat full of a city full of strangers all competing for the same resources. Kinda like "Survivor at Sea.". I don't need organized activities, I am a self starter. I don't need to pay for a cruise to get a massage or attend a seminar. Just not my cup of tea or coffee. Affluent seniors go on cruises because they are the demographic who can afford them. They are the last generation with pension plans instead of 401Ks.

Or start getting rid of it. Most of my spaces function, but there is still "incomplete assignments" sitting everywhere. Projects I have to finish and tidy up. I am a homesteader who love wild medicinals. This means that I have leaves laying out to dry on the counter and dining table. I am a paper crafter, so this leads to pieces of projects that need to make it to the studio. I know I have to figure out my weakness in this clutter game and get it under control. I am 56 and I have far too much "schtuff" You inspire me

Thank you!! I have made soooo many of these organizing mistakes. Grateful that you remind us it is a process. One step at a time... We cruise, but we are older. With kids and cruises, our extended family highly recommend Disney. If you & yours are at all into Disney, so much to do! We usually sail on Norweigen. One of the best kept secrets is to get yourself a spa pass for the duration. It is not crowded and so many nice water therapy things for grownups! Whirlpool, sauna, steam room - there was a snow room on the last ship! On the really large ships (4000+ passengers) they've added recently have amazing on board amenities and tons of activities for kids. (Think racetrack, high wire walks, climbing wall and water slides - not to mention kid zones and kids only "club" activities supervised by crew/activities people.) Add in the "free-style" dinning and the Haven level services, and there are ways to "get away" from the crowds. Thanks again for your videos. Really appreciate all the great ideas.

I have multiple chronic illnesses so as soon as I crash, my home crashes since I'm apparently the only one that actually keeps up with the clutter. My clean, clutter free home is now a hoarder home again. I feel like I need a home. I have decluttered my closet and went from two stuffed ones to just one with plenty of room. Felt so nice. Being AuDHD is organised chaos. I just need to be more organised, less chaos.

Great video, as always! You are so inspiring! I am in a decluttering mode. Listening to your podcasts or videos as I throw stuff away. I thank you for the permission to just trash it. I always feel like I should be more thoughtful of things either I or someone has spent money on, but sometimes it just needs to go so I can move through it and on. I would highly recommend a cruise to Alaska. My husband and I love Alaska and have been there several times but always planned our trips on land and on our schedule. Last year, we decided to do a cruise of the Inside Passage starting from Vancouver and ending in Seward, AK. It was our first cruise ever and extremely family-friendly. There were lots of kids (8-18), but not a lot of babies or toddlers. There were older people (grandparents) but I would say a wide range of ages. A lot of family groups. Like the parents, grandparents, and grandchildren. There are tons of excursions at each port, and depending on the ship, there are many activities for adults and children both apart and together. We were on a Royal Carribean cruise, and I would definitely go again.

But I know they are out there.

Love your functional directions in assisting us to declutter our homes, mind, body and soul too! I watched your videos all the time so that I may constantly evolve our homes to be more liveable or when an area becomes uncomfortably full of crap.
