How's your weather? We have the most beautiful spring sunshine in Copenhagen today, woo hoo!!! ☀☀☀☀☀☀ Don't forget our pact: remember to leave a comment! An emoji is fine! Or let us know how many items are going "on probation" or heading into your donations bag! 👋🏻😍 Rah, rah, rah! 🎉🎉🎉
Hi Diane! It is 70-75 here during the day and cold at night. I have 4 shirts on probation. I do need to go through my hair pieces. Thank you for the inspiration and motivation Rah, rah, rah 🎉🎉
Gorgeous coffee-on-the-patio morning in S. California today! Because I'm not at home I'm not decluttering, but I am planning my steps for when I go home next week. 😊 Thank you dear Diane!
I have watched cleaning / decluttering channels for years, but this is the first series that has actually helped me to get up and get moving in a simple yet impactful way over time. I love how systematic it is. Thank you for breaking down zone cleaning for us like this and leading us through the process each week. 💗
While you were in Estonia, I returned to your series on babysteps in order to stay energized, and I am enjoying it so much that I decided to keep it up even after you returned. You’ve always been chic and polished, but, Wow, what a beautiful change occurred when you adopted the Dressing Your Truth system! You look younger and fresher than you did 7 years ago! Rah! Rah! Rah!
Glad it's sunny somewhere!! Pouring here in southern Ireland!......never mind we had lovely sunshine yesterday for St Patrick's Day parades which was wonderful ☘️☘️☘️
You are a bright spot in our day! I love the color of pink you are wearing today! It is my favorite color. Also, thank you for not doing the ads. They are annoying!!
Love that you routinely go through clothing and accessories and make decisions on things you don’t use or like that much anymore and let them go. It makes decluttering a routine rather than a one-time huge event. 🎉
I don‘t know why I never left a comment, I guess because I usually leave comments in general. I just wanted to stop and thank you for the work that you are doing. You help me staying motivated since years. I always come back to your videos when I‘m stuck in my life. Usually I get overwhelmed when things are too much for me (like now, I‘m going through a divorce) and then things get out of hand, and I‘m overwhelmed even more. You always do the best job in lifting me up and getting me back on track. I am truly grateful for all the valuable content you provide for people like me for free. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤ Greetings from Germany, Miriam
Got my Monday “Blessing” done. Spent Last Friday and Saturday declutterring a laundry room. We have combined two houses so there is still a lot to go through.
Happy Monday, Diane!❤❤❤ Great to see you, as always! I’m a bit under the weather, so I listened to you on the couch, and decluttered some negative thoughts. 😂 I promise to rewatch you tomorrow as I tackle the basement! ❤❤❤
Great to have you back Diane! You are SO consistent! That’s what I struggle with but it’s amazing to see how much will have been achieved by the end of the year through small consistent steps. 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for the motivation! I actually had decluttering help from an unexpected source today. We, two adults and two children, live in tight quarters and have to regularly put off season things away to have a functioning home, so I was putting away some heavier winter jackets. Was on the fence with my ten year old winter jacket, thought I might recycle it this spring because I don’t really like it anymore and it’s way too worn out to donate, but it would probably keep me warm another winter if I kept it. Couldn’t decide so I put it on the floor for now and continued cleaning the entryway. Suddenly our big dog turned up and barfed all over the jacket. Needless to say I took this as a sign to get rid of it and get myself something I actually like next winter 😆 Thanks, dog!
So nice to see you again! You've encouraged me to donate a jewellery stand I no longer use. I've pared down my jewellery a lot. I'll be seeing a friend who works in a charity shop on Wednesday, so this was perfect timing! Thanks!
Missed you. I found a dozen books and several ornaments that I’m removing from my home. Thanks to your cheerleading, I took 8 boxes of items (mostly from my kitchen) to Habitat for Humanity.
Taking my donations in today 😂 We keep a donation basket just outside the door to the garage. When it gets full, I take it in on my errands day. We had a rainy weekend here in Las Vegas, NV but it's supposed to be warmer today. Sun is full out.
I hung up a hook on the back of my bedroom door so I have a concrete place to put the clothes that are on probation. I always just thought I'd see them in the closet and remember to try using them in an outfit. Now I have an actual plan. Thanks as always for the encouragement! So good to have you back!
Today it was cloudy and sometimes a little sunny in Austria. Did my routines and cleaning but had no time for decluttering today. We had a painter in our house so I had a little look after him. Funny story: he asked if we have a second kitchen because it is so clean. He looked at my sink and maybe he thought that it can't be so clean everyday 😂 No, have only this one. I use it every day and I love to cook 😊 was a little proud of my clean kitchen 🎉
Lovely to see you home, well done on earning that medal, you deserve to be proud of it! Thanks for the continued inspiration - consistency is key in reaching your goals, even if it’s one item a day 😊
KaDee from Seattle, Great to have my motivation speaker back. Miss working with you on Mondays. Have a great day. Beautiful sunny day in Seattle. 🎉Rah,Rah, Rah. KaDee🎉
I am working on a minimalist wardrobe since a while now. It has inspired me a lot that you select a few colours only and radically declutter this year. What I find really works for me is having a colour scheme for each wardrobe category. For example, all my outdoor/hiking clothes are in olive, brown and black, my fitness clothes in various shades of blue, my sleepwear black or gray, … Most of the time I wear only 2 colours at once, so this helps to still get some variety.
Decluttered 20 cd's and placed 17 on probation - goal to listen to them over the next 1-2 weeks and will decide to let go or keep. Got some laundry folded too! Best productive 10 mins of my day thus far ❤ Thanks Diane have a great day.
Great to have you back with our routines again. Our weather went from 60° F to 25° and caused a watermain break. So we're under a boil water advisory. Yuk. So it was refreshing to be distracted with decluttering. Working on more paper decluttering since my Chronic Fatigue is worse.. we take our clean water for granted in the Great Lakes states. This boil order is exhausting even thought we have water bottles for drinking-still need more water for household activities. We can appreciate what our friends in other countries without abundance of safe water deal with daily. Ok, Getting off my bahookie soapbox and on to work!😊
I decluttered about 20 old books from nursing school today!! In the nearly 20 years since I graduated, I don’t think I’ve opened them once! Guess I didn’t need to hold onto them as much as I thought I did.😂
Thanks, Diane, for your cheerful encouragement and good examples. And welcome back! I was able to get some news of your events in Estonia -- well done you!! I shall revisit today's video when I next work on my wardrobe. For now I'm packing for a work week (or more) -- flying down to Virginia (from Toronto) to help my cousins do a major declutter of stuff stored in outbuildings on the family farm -- a lot of which was from my late mother's many moves over the years. And I can bet they're going to hear me say "Well, what Diane in Denmark would do..." !! And, I'll still get to follow your videos from there -- you're never far away! Thanks again for all that you do for us. ❤
Put 5 blouses in probation and you're right, I had one on for only 15 min and I had to take it off and put in my donation box as the sleeves were driving me crazy.
Thanks Diane, your 10 minute videos are a perfect amount of time. I always find you so comforting and truly enjoy working beside you, takes out alot of the work and makes alot more pleasant! Love the probation idea. Half my clothes are on probation now lol
Diane, while you were away, I missed you! I wore a jacket on probation while I decluttered paperwork (working alongside you today). I was able to declutter the jacket upon finishing our time. Thank you for motivating us!
Last week, I was able to clean out my entire linen closet in 10 minutes. I was thrilled. This was my most productive timer clean to date👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻go me!!!🌸
Hi Diane, I am so glad that you are back.....I did the dishes today and started collecting my papers for taxes during your declutter.... Thank you so much for these videos
Working my routines every day to keep things ticking over! Today I decluttered a coffee thermos we never reach for. Small wins! Need more small wins at work too.
You have inspired me yet again to get organized and not dwell on the negative things in life. My closet is full of clothes I need to be honest with and that is the hard part. Every time I open my closet I close it quickly without dealing with what I need to be rid of.
Update: After decluttering a swimsuit and one pair of jeans I went through my entire wardrobe. Found 3 more items to declutter plus one pair of shoes. Have 3 items that need stain removal. Have 8 items that need some sort of fixing like hemming or ironing. Total of 55 clothing pieces in my wardrobe not counting undergarments, socks, shoes, and coats. I would like to purchase a pair of dressy flats like ballet slippers or something like that to replace the Ill-fitting ones I’m donating. Diane, your videos really inspire me to get up and get working!
Hi Diane! This is my first time commenting. I have been watching your videos for a while and just love your channel. Thanks for the inspiration.. we will do our best to get you to 100K. 🎉 Our weather here in Ohio, USA is chilly with a bit of snow. Looking forward to sunny days and a bit of declutter. Have a nice day. 🌞
We are all so grateful for the effort & time you give to keep us moving forward. Am starting to see the Forrest through the trees….. hubby…. Not so much…. But hope springs eternal! Hurray
Decluttered earlier today . So good to just think 10 minutes and small steps . Stops you being overwhelmed and as you say, amazing what you can do in 10 minutes . Thank you for your guidance x
Thursday : tossed the last of my shabby nightgowns, socks,ahead on my zones since son is coming in from Denver . Ran through the car wash, hardware store. Swiped out fridge and pantry, since son will bring in his gf foods. The orchid shade would be beautiful on you!
I have been babysitting for my 5 year old grandson today so I've already gotten a good workout by the time I've watched this video. I'll start tomorrow by decluttering the dust bunnies from under my bed. I'm going to put the Roomba underneath it. It's amazing how dusty that thing is when it comes out from under the bed.
Decluttering the kids playmobil! Taken a long time but just doing a little at a time. It will be a great job done and hours of play with less!!! Thank you
So glad to see you back, Diane, and look forward to hearing about your Estonian adventures! Today I tackled several neglected storage boxes at the back of the closet. I consolidated them, tossing a few items and adding a number of shirts and pants to the donation bag, and set aside half a dozen things to try on for probation or donation. I admit I kept a couple sentimental sweaters - the first I knitted in college (1962) and the last my mother made for me (1965). Just not quite ready to let them go, though now I can imagine doing so and keeping photos.
I watch your videos, pause them and then clean or declutter. My wardrobe is pretty minimal but I did find 2 older T-shirts that I had put into my sleepwear drawer but I wasn’t wearing them to sleep in either. Off they go.
I enjoy so much watching your videos, your energy, your outfits, your encoragment to us to do the rught things, and your bright cheerful smile. You are a ray of sunshine!!! Blessings to you and yours. 🌹🌸🏵
The weather is a mix of sun and clouds today, but a bit more spring-like as it's 60F. My donations culled over the past week include winter shirts I've not worn, candles. jewelery, and an essential oil diffuser. Happy Monday!🎉
I worked in my closet today and while in there even managed to figure out what I will wear to Easter brunch. It was a win:win situation…decluttered what was not serving me and shopped my closet!
Morning Diane unfortunately I am not well at the moment so decluttering is not happening. Instead I am using the top of the hour trick to motivate me to slowly move through my daily round of MR,ER and a daily WHB task. These are the days I am grateful for the consistency that I have been able to achieve the rest of the time and for those small daily habits that hold me. X
I do a lot of decluttering on Monday's as it's bin day 6am on Tuesday. Yesterday I put out 2 bags of rubbish then ran around like a dervish and filled a 3rd bag of stuff that I have already forgotten about. It feels great!
Great job! I declutter a big black trash bag full of all sorts of things yesterday just went through the house checking little drawers n cupboards and didn’t miss a thing glad it’s gone going to try this again before trash day every week, wish me luck lol
