Declutter with me! Today, I'm cleaning off my desk a bit and decluttering some paperwork and some trash. It can be hard to start decluttering when the piles are too big or we simply do not feel like doing it. It can be hard to finish decluttering when there is too much to do. In this video, I just start and get some progress done.

I think we all have days where we want to give our jobs back where they came from. How lovely to have a basket of encouragement to remind you of your 'why'. 💛

Just saw this short by Mel robbins. She said that procrastination comes from stress and you need to look at what the underlying stress is. Also she has this great trick where you count backwards 5 4 3 2 1 go and you just work for 5 minutes. What actually ends up happening is you keep going but it's a great way to break the procrastination Habit is just start and not go by your feelings. Rarely do we feel like doing the things we need to do.

@ChristianAnneSmith Год назад

I am really struggling with procrastination that is rooted in anxiety. I like this timer idea.

@jac1797 Год назад

@@ChristianAnneSmith so you first just count backwards from 5:00 to 1:00. 54321 and then you tell yourself you're only going to work for 5 minutes. You will end up continuing

"There are holes in my system!" I think unless a person lives by herself, there will be holes. The more people whose hands are in the mix, the more chance for control to slip...yep, an aggravation, but why we must stay on top of things the best we can. You are doing great! Blessings!

@terrilloyd3691 Год назад

Just a suggestion... I keep a small trash can and a small recycle bin under my desk which are emptied on garbage day. This makes tidying and sorting crap on my desk so much easier. Good luck with your process. ❤

@Saforra99 Год назад

In fact I have a paper recycling bin next to my desk (cuz that's the majority of it) and then two tiny bins in a drawer (cutoff bottoms of small cereal boxes) for regular trash and one for packaging recycling (living in Germany, so that's a thing 😉) looking good! Thanks for the inspiration!

@lindamcdermott9980 Год назад

You are such a refreshing inspiration. I have a system, curated from watching lots of RU-vid. It’s still not perfect, but it works. When the mail comes in, before setting it down, I pull out the obvious junk mail and put it in the trash. I no longer set anything on the table or counter, it goes right to my desk. I have a cute box with a magnetic lid to put bills and action items. Another spot (an empty cube), next to my reading chair where I put anything I might want to look at later (flyers, catalogs, magazines, etc). I get paid monthly, (most of my bills are on auto pay from the bank), that is when I take a serious look and act on and empty the cute box. Of course I check it occasionally but it is not contributing to “clutter”. My daily things (planner, sketch book, pill caddy, etc) live in a basket next to my dining chair, I am in and out of that stuff multiple times a day, but I don’t want to see it on my table, so the basket, with a cloth over it, it is easy to get stuff and put it back, and to declutter. So far the system has held up, with an occasional refresh. The best part is the table stays clear 🎉, and so does my desk 🎉🎉🎉. I enjoy your channel, I can identify with your thought process, and your ideas are so helpful. I’ve been watching for forever, and am so much better for it. Thank you.

I feel the pain of cluttered small spaces. I used to do your method. But I saw Dana K White’s video. Now I stop each time I find something that belongs somewhere else I take it there immediately. For me I would make piles and then I would get interrupted and pile it all back on the desk! I’ve learned that “taking it there now” is a pain but it works for me. You have been a total inspiration. Especially your sentimental stuff and books!! You deserve each kudo you receive.

@boog.2751 Год назад

I appreciate your channel and your humility Erica. I am trying to catch up on your videos. Your home looks great. I also try to do Dana's method of "take it there" & her container rules.

@sandrac4244 Год назад

Dear Erica, I wanted to send a note to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for making these videos and I’m so glad I found them. I recently moved and decided it was time for me to finally go through all my boxes of “stuff” I’ve been dragging around with me through the years of moving and living. Last night I watched this particular post and this morning I pulled the last bins from my spare bedroom aka my office and storage area. I have them in separate piles now for me to go through and either hopefully condense, give away or throw away. It has been such a tough challenge for me as each time I tried to do this in the recent past I had to stop and give up; it was just too overwhelming for me. I recognize their is so much emotion tied to this “stuff” I’ve been carrying around with me especially now that the majority of my family has passed. I am feeling my feelings but taking it slow but it feels so good to be almost completely organized and clutter free. Of course I still have the daily stuff but sooo much more manageable and light feeling. Also I know my son will not be left to deal with boxes and boxes of stuff when I go. Your encouragement and inspiration has helped motivate me through this extremely tough but necessary task. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. 💟🌸☀️

@lisaann6267 Год назад

yes, sometimes giving yourself too much grace, "im not doing that today" can back fire and in end create more stress than just do it now. 🤗🤗

@karensimioni1416 2 месяца назад

I have a terrible time with bifocals too. You give me inspiration and motivation. Never doubt how valuable your videos are 😊

@hollyb5432 Год назад

Getting started really can be the hardest part! What if you stored the pink library books return bag and different color bag for library books for school in the basket with the other library books, so they are all in the same place? I highly recommend Dana K. White's "take it there now" method so you don't end up with piles of trash and stuff you still have to deal with when you finished the sort or get interrupted and have to stop.

@EricaLucasLoves Год назад

I do not know that method but I have been wanting to read her book. Thanks for this!

@freeomelettefarm Год назад

Dana K. White is the best!

@@EricaLucasLoves Minimal Mom did a closet clean out video using the No Mess Decluttering Method. I could have sworn you used it too in your kitchen video - the one about the snowball effect. If not, your method in that video was very similar!

@jackieo2403 Год назад

@@EricaLucasLoves I think she has videos on this method- could be faster than reading the book.

@ChristianAnneSmith Год назад

Yes, Dana K White’s series “1 hour better” Is an awesome demonstration of this. I think there’s probably a playlist of these on her channel. I personally like this because all the walking around helps me be less anxious.
