All of those cords and old electronics can be recycled. If your municipality doesn’t offer electronics recycling you can take them to Staples or Office Max or Office Depot-it’s free, and it keeps it out of the landfill.

@reallifewithali Год назад

I didn’t know that about the cords! Thanks for the suggestion! I still have the big pile ready to be thrown out, so I’ll take them with my old electronics to be recycled. Thanks!

Lovely relaxing take on decluttering and minimalism. I have this on in the background while I sort out my pen drawer for the first time in 12 months! Thankyou for the office decluttering inspiration. I recently got rid of old diaries from my teens (I'm 50). It was a great purging experience. I hosed the diaries down so the pages got wet and the ink ran and then after they dried they would have been all stuck together so no one could ever read again. I dont regret this.

I moved 4 years ago. We brought so much stuff to our new home. 2.5 years later, as I continued to unpack and organize, I realized this stuff hadn't seen the light of day for 3.5 years (packed early to show old home). The declutter journey began. Today I finished getting everything off my CD's. Although CD's are supposed to degrade between 6-12 years, I was able to recover my first scientific technical presentation from 1998. It was made in powerpoint (the CD), but printed onto overhead projector plastic for actual presentation. Good times. Now I have digital clutter for 15 years from now as a retirement project. I shall clean the cloud.

@lindarussell620 8 месяцев назад

In 2018 we had a 7.3 earthquake here where I live in Alaska. My home office was hit the hardest in our house. I closed the door and just left it. I would go into it with the intention of cleaning it out but would be shortly overwhelmed and leave. This past summer (2023) I went in and took everything out and reorganized it so that it is totally functional again. What a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I recently did the 30 day minimalist game declutter challenge and that felt great. Getting rid of clutter and organizing is so rewarding. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you declutter your office. Great job!!

@reallifewithali 8 месяцев назад

Thank you! Was the earthquake during the summer? I ask because I’m pretty sure that was the year we were in Kenai getting ready to go home (eating dinner before our flight) when there was an earthquake. We were all gathered around the table and the cabin started shaking. It’s funny because the washing machine or kids jumping in the back room would make the whole cabin shake. So at first we thought it was one of those! 🤣 It was probably the end of July. My husband’s family owns a commercial salmon fishery so I’ve gone to Kenai for many summers! I remember another earthquake there a few years ago. I was sitting in our cabin in a rocking chair and I remember just feeling a little weird. It was really subtle! And it lasted for a couple minutes. I saw the door swinging slightly so I figured it was an earthquake. I asked my daughter if she was feeling anything and she agreed. Anyway, we didn’t have any damage with either so I’m sorry you did! Thanks so much for watching! ❤️

@karenrich9092 Год назад

To keep paper under control, I invested in a Freedom Filer system. It is color coded, so you know when to remove and shred something. It helps to keep the files and drawers from bulging with too much paper. When I set up my system, the labels allowed you to keep papers for 10 years. So, the documents for cars we no longer owned and 25 year old tax returns were shredded. I took 12 bags of paper out of my office! Just one room and I am still not done. Also keep bins for organizing that you find in one space, so when you're ready to organize, you can shop in your house. Then, if you need more you can buy them.

@reallifewithali Год назад

Dang! You are lucky. Mine stares at it and wants to go back to it another day which calculates to months🤣

@Abeautifulmundanelife Год назад

This is great motivation, thanks! Have you heard of Dana K White here on RU-vid? I like her method of taking items where they belong now so you don’t make a bigger mess when decluttering and end up with piles. But I understand we all have different preferences and energy levels

@reallifewithali Год назад

Thanks Molly! Yes I watch Dana K White. She has amazing tips! Sometimes I use her method, sometimes someone else’s, and sometimes my own! Haha. I guess it’s whatever mood I’m in. 😬

Very useful video one problem I have among many is what do we do if for ex I made a college project and have 2 or 3 copies I don't want to throw and someone sees in trash and uses my work for his project don't know know if it makes sense

@reallifewithali Год назад

Maybe you could shred it? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Office clutter makes me want to scream! I was an English teacher for over 40 years & retired years ago. I have gotten rid of a lot of stuff, but I have more to tackle. Re: those high school notebook dividers, if it makes you feel better, I have handouts from when I was in 4th grade. 🤣🤣🤣🤣😳😳😳 I’m pausing watching now that you’ve finished the filing cabinet so I can get to work before I go down the endless video watching path. I’ll be back.

@reallifewithali Год назад

4th grade?! Haha. It happens to the best of us! You’ve got this!

@reallifewithali Год назад

I need to take 2022 files to keep into large file folder and get rid of the oldest one. I tend to keep files for tax purposes for 5 years. Then I need to straighten up file drawer with some new folders, ready for 2023. I have kept my office area as decluttered for several years. My husband's areas are his to take care of and I overlook it. What do you do with electric typewriter that hasn't been used for a long time? Goodwill will not take it.

@reallifewithali Год назад

I’m not sure what you would do with an electric typewriter. Maybe you can try and sell it?

Two of the thrift shops in my area will take old cords. Every time I go in,I check for the one I need to charge my old IPAD one more time to get old photos and contacts. Guess what? I would give my eye teeth for the one that you held up at 12:00.😬😖😵😵‍💫

Another problem is when u want to declutter and things belong to other family members and have to co-decide

It’s hard! Especially when they want to hang onto a lot.

How does your office look? Do you need a good declutter like me? If so, let's get it done together!! Thank you so much for watching! I referred to this video several times: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PUpwV2aznY8.html.

@christinak703 Год назад

I liked that you did some decluttering, but was disappointed to see you made no effort to recycle some things like your electronics. E-waste is a big problem, and you took the easy way out. From the looks of it, you live in a large urban area where this would have been possible since many municipalities take it. Disappointing video.

@reallifewithali Год назад

Most of the electronics I put aside to take to Best Buy to be recycled, including all the cords and the 2 laptops. I definitely made an effort. Thanks for watching,

@SK-ki1te 9 месяцев назад

Had to stop watching. Too stressful to see you trash and not recycle.

@reallifewithali 9 месяцев назад

I actually recycled a lot. I may have said it was going in the trash, but it’s either garbage or recycling. All of the electronics and cords were recycled.

@SK-ki1te 9 месяцев назад

Whew 😅! THX!
