Jane has lived in her home for 50 years and has been widowed for about that same amount of time. Over the years, she has collected many things either for herself or for family or friends and now needs some help to arrange all of her collections into categories and in a way where she can access everything so she can start to declutter. In this video, I am working with Jane's niece, Lynnita, to organize everything, something she loves to do and is very good at. You will fall in love with "Aunt Jane" and her spitfire personality. She is quite a character! And if you ever need a "choice box," well, Jane has the choicest of boxes.

Gosh so much stuff. It's made me realise that once we pass, all our stuff will have very little to no meaning to anyone but ourselves and we leave everything behind for someone else to put in the trash or give away.

@madzabinga8382 Месяц назад

It's something to think about, that's for sure. Have you heard of "Swedish Death Cleaning?" It is such an interesting decluttering strategy. I see all that ladies stuff and I feel bad for whomever inherits it. It would take months to go through all those boxes. Plus, if things are special, just display them! Why keep things that are meaningful to you hidden away in boxes?

@dweamy1 Месяц назад

@@madzabinga8382 Yes I have heard of the Swedish Death cleaning. I go through my various rooms throughout the year and get rid of things. When I get older, I will reduce to minimum! I work with the elderly, and see how much stuff they have, and most don't ever clear out and leave it to their relatives. 99% goes into the bin as everyone has their own stuff and no room for more.

@rebeccaashton5390 Месяц назад

I am at the place in my life where I am realizing that no one is going to want my "stuff" nor dealing with getting rid of it. Many years ago my daughter told me she would back a truck up to the house and shovel the Christmas crap on it to then go to the dump. I know what I have to do, but finding the energy and will power to let go seems impossible on most days.

@madzabinga8382 Месяц назад

@@rebeccaashton5390 You need to phone a friend. Seriously, it's so overwhelming! Even though it's our crap, it's our mess, in our house, it's ok to ask for help.

Jane's binders and books reminds me of me about a year ago. I had a ton of empty binders and books in bookshelves and stacked everywhere in the house. I finally pulled all the binders and donated them. I had 26 of them just sitting in the basement. Then over the past year I have been sorting my books into keep, sell, donate. Today I finally organized my remaining books into my library in the living room. I have half a shelf left and no stacked books anywhere else. I'm so pleased and proud of myself. I just had to give myself grace and time to finish the process.

@knotjusthooked Месяц назад

My mom passed away 2 years ago. She and my step dad lived on a farm. It's not a dairy farm, more of a hobby farm. She had horses at one time, but now it's just my 87-year-old step dad on the farm. They came from a generation that didn't get rid of much. So, now it's left to me to handle. I'm a little resentful of this because I've asked over the years for them to downsize some of those unused things, but to no avail. I'm a single woman who works full-time and trying to handle a mountain of things such as this is overwhelming. Seeing this video just makes me more aware of the huge task I'm facing alone in the future. I guess I'll take it one barn, one out building, and one house room by room at a time.

@courtneyb.7518 Месяц назад

@@yvonnelewis4888yeah, like an estate sale company. Many can do downsizing sales, to complete clean-outs. That way items find new love with someone else, the weight of the task is taken off her shoulders, and money is made for the family. Wins all around 😊

@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp 29 дней назад

Sounds like a huge undertaking. As someone mentioned, there are usually people who will take on that task for you and you still get a portion of the proceeds from the sale of items, but you don't have to do the entire job yourself. Good luck!

@Zozziethe3zees Месяц назад

This is a hoarder situation....as lovely as this lady is, there is no way she is going to go through all her belongings herself. I hope she gets more help.

@schnetzelschwester Месяц назад

Not really. In a long life there is a lot of stuff gathering over the years, add Items from dead family members, memories of children, memories of important times in your life - the older you are the more. She should invite her family to loot her stuff. If you were used to have a big family around, it is hard to change habits. And I know from myself, you have that items, you think "Tomorrow I'll thow it away." Well... Nowadays noone needs folders anymore. I can have folders on PC as many as I like. I kept the 3 best of them for tax documents, bills, certificates, and let the others go. Google test: I keep that magazine, flyer, paper because of special informations? Then I use google. If there is newer and better information in the internet, I throw that magazin away. Only exception: I keep all magazines that are more than 80 years old.

@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp 29 дней назад

@schnetzelschwester I love your explanation of how things get like this. That's exactly the impression I got from her. Even though she proclaims herself a hoarder, it's not a typical hoard where things are dirty or tossed carelessly in a pile. There are attempts at organization, but it does pile up over the years when you live as long as Jane has.

@tcwaxwing Месяц назад

If nothing else, days spent bringing order to STUFF helps those who will be ultimately responsible for dealing with it. I don't mean that to be grim, it's just as we know, most of the time people who enjoy/keep/etc this level of stuff don't aggressively downsize. So chipping away before it's inherited makes a difference. The kindness and help we give people today matters, even if there's more clutter or reversion later. And sometimes that even sparks change.

Bless Jane, she is very intelligent and fastidious with her conversation and collections. Many elderly folk in their 80's and 90's are still sharp as a tack in their mind, even as their body inevitably breaks down on them, right up until their last day. For instance my grandmother at 96, though becoming frail, still reads her village newspaper and watches news each and every day, even accurately predicting political election results. One can count themselves *extremely* lucky to be as bright and clear of mind as Jane in their older years! Here's hoping.

Interesting video and good organization for safer access. Whether for elders, disabled or anyone, it helps prevent tripping hazards and potential accidents. I understand her appreciation for good boxes. I also understand that sometimes we fear some animals or insects over others without wanting to hurt them. I can relate to that. This video was very encouraging because everyone was tuned in to the same goals of decluttering. There was no pressure on Jane. Great job, ladies❣️👍

Hello. New subscriber with my new channel. Inspired by Mira in the help that you have given her, I've created this channel for me to make my own effort to clean small spaces, I don't have help and I can't pay someone either but I've decided to do it for myself, because I don't want to reach to be very old and that the disorder has been in my room and my home for more years. Physically, I've pain from several incidents of small personal accidents, but I know that I can get through it, in pain but motivated by watching your videos and Mira's ones. Thank you very much for all the advice and that energy you transmit. God bless you 🙏🏻

If this is your first channel ever, it probably will take a while to build up those skills and to learn RU-vid, but I love that you are doing it and, even if it never gets big, I think it keeps you accountable to keep up with the decluttering. So awesome!!

OMG I want to adopt her as my Aunt too! Looking at her list, it looks like she used a different handwritten "font" for each item. So cute! Can you help her by taking loads to a donation center as she sorts through, or has she already arranged that? That would make a nice follow-up video. 😊 I also have the extra vertebrae. I fell in my garage and snapped my tailbone off and it hasn't healed up in line correctly, so that's how I found out about the extra. I've heard that about 10% of people have it and most don't even know it. I've always had lower back pain too. I thought it was just because I'm busty! 😂

@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp 29 дней назад

OMG, yes, the different "fonts" thing is so funny! I wish I could show you the texts she sends. They are w.r.i.t.t.e.n. kind of LIKE *this*. And I was afraid she was not going to be a texter because of her age, but she can definitely text and it's always a hoot to read them! I also either broke or severely bruised my tailbone when I was about 13 when I hit it hard on the corner of a coffee table (never got an x-ray because we were very poor and never went to the doctor unless it was life-threatening), but I think that is what started to set off all my other back pain. I've heard that a lot of people likely have the extra vertebrae as well, but don't know it. My back pain is definitely not because I'm busty! I had to pay for the "girls" that I do have...LOL!

I'd love to have an attic like that. She could put that room to good use. And it's really pretty darn clean!

@schnetzelschwester Месяц назад

As a young woman I lived in a space like that attic. It was very cosy, and I cried when I had to move to another town. I also had a little door under the roof where I stored big items like hiking stuff, boots, beverage crates and so on. My landlord's little granddaughter loved to hide in there (together with their German Shepherd), playing "pirate in a cove". Jane could make a guest room or AirBnB in that attic, or a private library with home cinema, or a private museum with display and information texts. I always get PTSD symptoms if I see basements cramped like that. Where I live we don't store valued items in the basement because river Rhine gives us flooding every year, and with climate change it gets even worse. In northern Germany there had been severe floods in December/January, now there are floods in southern Germany with a broken dam and a drowned firefighter, some people missing. From the flood in Ahrtal and Belgium 2021 with about 200 fatalities the communities haven't recovered yet. We only store things in the basement if we aren't sorry to loose them.

Bonnie has helped so many of us through her videos too. So nice to have a helper, makes it so much more fun! Bonnie thinks us older folks can easily do things online or whatever it’s called with VHS, DVD and paperwork…not so much Bonnie, I’m with Jane on this one😂

@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp 29 дней назад

LOL! I guess that's true. Jane is surprisingly good with technology, at least from what I could tell, but I understand it is a harder concept for older folks. If there is someone in the family or a friend who could show you how to transfer things from VHS or DVD to the computer, it's not hard once you get going. It just takes a lot of time. I used to work on other things while things were transferring and come back every hour or so to check on progress, start the next one, and so on. Same with the paperwork. Scanning things in is simple once everything is hooked up, just takes time. Maybe I should do a video on how to do all of that. I'm helping my mom right now clean out her garage and we came across three HUGE boxes of old home videos. I bet I could help her get things set up to transfer those to their computer and film it for you all. I have so many things going on right now, but I think that would make a good video at some point.

Years ago, my mother, 79 years old, began to classify and eliminate papers by herself, in her own time and because there are valuable items for her that she wants to keep and because she said she wants to leave the craft room tidy with the items for me.

@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp 29 дней назад

She had a lot of interesting stuff I wanted to ask her about, but Jane is so funny and was very focused on just getting things in order, not a lot of time for chit-chat. I can respect that. It was a paid job, after all. Some time it would be fun to go back to just hang out and ask her about some of her stuff and life experiences. I'm sure she would be thrilled!

@TRGillett Месяц назад

You are so right, Jane is absolutely adorable and humorous! 😊 I might be having a bit of a panic attack at this moment, though, thinking about having to clean out my parents' house when the time comes. 😉 And the white and yellow pages -- I totally forgot about phone books, it's been so long since I've used one. 😂 (PS, that console table you were dusting was gorgeous! 😍)

@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp 29 дней назад

Yeah, I know you and I have already talked about how I'm going to clean out my parents' house. There might be arson involved... haha! Just kidding. I'm actually helping my mom clear out her garage and go through other things in their house. I am pretty surprised at how much they have already gotten rid of. And now we are filling her garage back up with stuff for the Whatnot auctions. 😅

I thought I was the only one who collected boxes? But her collection is much larger than mine. At least she is a very organized hoarder, with a very sweet disposition. She knows what she has, for the most part and seems to enjoy going through her things. I hope her family appreciates all the genealogy she has amassed? Nice job in helping her out.

Well, this looks like my second bedroom in our Condo! My hsb is a bibliophile & was a teacher. I've packed 32 boxes before my back collapsed forever. I have collected empty boxes & they're thrown everywhere. I keep thinking I need to break them down to clear up space, but, depression & pain have taken over. God Bless ❤

@@bonniehonchell9963 Cardboard boxes are such a big fire hazard! They burn with higher temperatures than wood and create poisonous fumes. Make smaller packages. Secure the boxes with duct tape together, shove them to the stairs and let them just slide down. You have no friends or family who can help you for free or some favor you can do to them?

@@schnetzelschwester I was going to flatten them & zip tie like sizes together. I have a lot to pack up. If I had just 1 x-tra room to put things would be heaven. No garage, no attic. Was using one B.R. as storage & then the main plumbing for the Condos backed up & it flooded that B.R., & now the whole thing needs remediation. I have no family here & all my good neighbors have moved. I don't know any of these young people who have moved in. They don't even speak LOL. So, as my physical health declines, I just don't care anymore. If I could get good medical help it would make a world of difference. Sadly, this is not me.

When you get old, you have "favorite" boxes. I don't know how it happens. It just does. And you'll refuse to throw them out because you think they're so great.

Yep. I started doing that about 5 years ago and it really is hard to get rid of a good box. However I do try to use them as much as possible when I'm helping someone organize their house. But I totally get why people have a hard time getting rid of them.😊

I bet that the American Archives Library or even her local or state capitol library would like a lot of the things she has collected if she's looking for an appreciative recipient. I would suggest "Labeling" the boxes so anyone can see what's in a box without having to open it.

@jlaurelc Месяц назад

I'd be careful about using that label. Hoarding is a mental health disorder with a lot of stigma attached, and Jane appears to be quite far from meeting the criteria.

@RoxanneR8375 Месяц назад

@@jlaurelcThank you for saying this. Other than owning a tremendous amount of stuff, I don't see any characteristics of hoarding. She gladly asked for help, didn't interfere with the sorting process to rescue things, and she was looking forward to donating things. She impressed me as being well-balanced and emotionally healthy. I'd love to have her for a friend! 😊

@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp Месяц назад

@@jlaurelc Absolutely, I agree. I was mostly posting that response to the original comment, not necessarily to you because I also don't like using that label and, in fact, prefer to say "someone with hoarding disorder," but I actually don't even know if Jane is a true hoarder or just has accumulated too much over the years, so I wouldn't want to make that call without an official diagnosis.

We have a similar spider here, a wolf-type spider that lives in lawns and sandy soils. Their eyes can reflect light, therefore one can see masses of twinkling eyes late at night. Many have been in the wars with each other, because a lot of them are missing 1, 2 or 3 legs. Don't worry too much about them Bonnie, they likely have hundreds of offspring!
