Today I'm sharing 50 things that you can
0:02
declutter right now today for quick wins
0:06
and instant relief. And this is the kind
0:08
of decluttering that makes you feel
0:09
calmer immediately because it clears up
0:12
space. It clears mental noise and it
0:15
helps your home to feel lighter. By the
0:18
end of this video, you're going to have
0:19
a full list of things to declutter. You
0:22
are going to feel motivated and you're
0:25
going to feel like you can finally
0:26
breathe again. Before we even get
0:28
started, I want to encourage you to use
0:30
this list in a very simple way. Don't
0:34
try to declutter all 50 things at once,
0:37
unless you have the time and energy to
0:39
do so. Otherwise, you're going to get
0:40
discouraged, lose momentum, and never
0:42
come back to it. Instead, I want you to
0:44
grab a trash bag, grab a donation bag,
0:46
and start with whatever category you are
0:48
currently in. You can even pause this
0:51
video, come back to it, save it for
0:54
later, and work in sections. I want you
0:56
to remember something and that is that
0:57
progress is still progress. So even if
0:59
you declutter five things today that is
1:02
five things that you no longer have to
1:04
manage and that matters. I want to
1:06
anchor this video with a verse that
1:08
always reminds me of peace that I always
1:11
try to remind you of as well. Be careful
1:14
for nothing but in everything by prayer
1:16
and petition with thanksgiving let your
1:18
requests be made known unto God. And the
1:21
peace of God which surpasses all
1:23
understanding shall guard your hearts
1:24
and minds through Christ Jesus.
1:26
Philippians chapter 4:es 6-7 because
1:29
peace is something that God wants for
1:31
us. And sometimes God gives us peace
1:34
through simple obedience and letting go.
1:37
We're going to be breaking this into
1:39
categories to make it more easy to
1:41
digest and easier to accomplish.
1:44
Starting with the kitchen because the
1:45
kitchen is usually the heart of the
1:47
home. And when the kitchen feels
1:49
cluttered, the whole house can easily
1:51
feel cluttered. As a mother and
1:53
homemaker, I spent a lot of time in the
1:55
kitchen. So, here are 10 things to
1:57
declutter from your kitchen today.
1:59
Number one is expired spices. Choose
2:03
expired sauces or condiments. Old food
2:06
storage containers without lids.
2:08
Mismatched lids that do not fit
2:11
anything. Duplicate utensils you never
2:13
use. Random plastic cups that you
2:17
actually don't like. Broken kitchen
2:19
gadgets. Old dish towels or oven mitts
2:22
with holes or stains or burnt marks.
2:25
Empty boxes or packaging in your pantry.
2:29
and dishes or mugs that you actually
2:31
don't enjoy using or just rarely use.
2:34
And friend, if you declutter these 10
2:36
things from your kitchen, your cabinets
2:37
will already feel a lot easier to manage
2:40
and you're going to notice that you
2:42
don't actually mind spending time in
2:44
your kitchen anymore. So, now let's move
2:46
on into the bathroom because bathrooms
2:49
usually collect clutter fast and it can
2:52
feel overwhelming very quickly. And for
2:55
me personally, the bathroom is a place
2:57
where I like to do my skin care and
2:59
self-care routines, where I like to
3:01
enjoy a nice hot bath or shower at the
3:04
end of a busy day. So, I do not want it
3:06
to feel overwhelming. So, here are the
3:08
10 things that you can declutter from
3:09
your bathroom today. Expired makeup, old
3:13
skin care products that you don't use or
3:15
that have a ton of chemicals, halfus
3:18
bottles that you keep just in case,
3:20
empty shampoo and conditioner bottles,
3:23
old razors, worn out lofas, extra hotel
3:26
soaps and minis that you never use. And
3:28
yes, I'm guilty of saving my Disney
3:30
resort hotel soaps and minis, towels
3:33
with holes or stains, hair products you
3:36
don't like, and old toothbrushes or
3:38
empty toothpaste, too. But decluttering
3:40
the bathroom is such a fast win because
3:43
it instantly makes the space feel
3:45
cleaner and calmer and you may not have
3:48
all that stuff in your bathroom and that
3:50
is even better. Which means you can just
3:53
move on to the bedroom and closet. So
3:57
because clutter in our bedroom can steal
3:59
our rest, here are 10 things to
4:02
declutter from your bedroom and closet
4:05
so that you can actually rest peacefully
4:07
at the end of your busy busy days.
4:09
Number one is clothes that don't fit
4:11
your current season. Clothes with stains
4:14
or holes that you can't fit anymore.
4:17
Socks without a match. Shoes that hurt
4:20
your feet or that you wear just rarely
4:23
or ever. Old purses that you don't use.
4:26
Pajamas that are worn out. Old jewelry
4:30
that is broken or missing one. Random
4:33
paper on your dresser. Extra hangers you
4:36
do not need. and items that's sitting on
4:38
your nightstand that don't belong there.
4:41
I'm so guilty of that. You're going to
4:43
see a messy nightstand in every bedroom
4:45
clean with me that I do. So, I'm going
4:47
to go and actually declutter all of
4:49
these things today as well. I would love
4:52
to know which room you are starting in.
4:54
But your bedroom should feel peaceful.
4:57
Even decluttering a small pile can make
5:01
you feel like you can breathe again.
5:03
Trust me on this one. So, now let's move
5:05
into the living room. and entryway
5:07
because these spaces collect clutter
5:09
quickly and they're usually the first
5:12
thing you see. They are our high traffic
5:14
areas where our family spend a lot of
5:16
time in. And again, when you walk
5:18
through the door, that's the first thing
5:20
that you or your guests are going to
5:23
see. So, here are 10 things to declutter
5:26
today from your living room and
5:28
entryway. Old magazines or papers.
5:31
Random cords that you just don't use.
5:35
Broken toys or missing toy pieces. Decor
5:39
that you don't actually love. Old
5:42
candles that don't smell good anymore or
5:44
have harmful artificial fragrances or
5:46
chemicals that's not natural or organic.
5:50
Shoes piled up by the door. Bags that
5:53
you do not use, especially those grocery
5:55
bags. jackets that do not fit or you
5:58
just never wear them. Random piles and
6:01
extra blankets that are old and worn
6:04
out. I love me a good soft cozy up
6:08
blanket, but they do not all belong on
6:11
your sofa. And those, as well as
6:13
decorative pillows, can definitely make
6:15
a space feel cluttered. So maybe invest
6:17
in a really nice basket to kind of tuck
6:20
them away because clear surfaces create
6:23
calm and the living room feels so much
6:25
more peaceful when there's less visual
6:27
noise. And this is true for everyone
6:29
inside of our family, even our kids if
6:32
they can't, you know, voice that to you.
6:34
But speaking of our kids, let's talk
6:37
about kids and their toys because toys
6:39
can take over a home so quickly. And
6:42
friend, this is one of the biggest
6:44
categories that will instantly create
6:46
peace if you declutter it. I used to own
6:50
so many toys for my kids. And back then,
6:52
I had one kid. I'm going to link that
6:55
video so that you guys can see me doing
6:57
a toy rotation. I had way too many toys
7:01
that I can manage. And once I cleared
7:02
that out, you guys, it was a game
7:04
changer. So, let's talk about 10 things
7:06
that you can declutter from your kids
7:08
toys today. Toys with missing pieces,
7:11
broken toys, toys that your kids never
7:13
play with, old stuffed animals that you
7:16
have too many of, books that are torn or
7:18
ruined, art supplies that are dried out,
7:22
baby items that your kids have outgrown,
7:25
old sippy cups or bottles or dishes that
7:27
you don't use, and kids clothes that
7:30
don't fit anymore, and random toys that
7:32
you don't even know where they came
7:33
from. And I want you to remember that
7:35
you do not have to keep everything. Less
7:38
toys often means better play and less
7:42
mess because they have more space to
7:44
actually play in. And they also have
7:47
more time and more mental clarity to
7:50
focus on the item at play and to be more
7:54
creative without getting quickly and
7:56
easily distracted and moving on to the
7:59
next thing because they see it. Kids
8:01
also get decision fatigue, too. So,
8:03
let's do a quick check-in. How are we
8:05
feeling? If you're decluttering with me
8:07
right now, I want you to leave a heart
8:10
emoji down below. And if you feel
8:13
overwhelmed, but you're trying, leave me
8:15
a carrot emoji, the little heart emoji
8:18
with the little arms wrapped around it,
8:20
because I just want to give you a
8:21
virtual hug. Thank you for being here
8:24
and encourage you to keep trying this
8:26
out with me. And friend, if this video

every area realistically. And it is made

9:00
Not to be too daunting or overwhelming,
9:02
but it provides immediate relief. How do
9:05
we maintain a decluttered home? We've
9:08
gone through, we've been through the
9:09
rooms, we decluttered 50 items today
9:12
quickly, easily, right? But now I want
9:14
to share something important.
9:16
Decluttering is not just about getting
9:18
rid of things once. It's about building
9:20
a lifestyle that keeps your home
9:22
manageable.
9:24
And the best way to maintain a
9:26
decluttered home is to have simple
9:28
habits. Things like keeping a donation
9:31
bag in your closet, doing a 5minute
9:34
reset at the end of the day, not
9:36
bringing new clutter into your home,
9:38
decluttering one small area every week,
9:42
and also teaching our kids simple
9:44
cleanup habits. And the gold here, it's
9:48
not perfection. The gold is peace. If I
9:52
could leave you with some encouragement
9:55
for this video, I want you to know that
9:58
you are not failing because your home
10:00
feels cluttered. You're not lazy and
10:03
you're not behind. It may just be that
10:06
you are simply in a season that requires
10:08
wisdom, simplicity, and so much grace.
10:13
And decluttering is one of the greatest
10:15
gifts that you can give yourself. You
10:18
guys just have to trust me on this one
10:20
and try it out because when you remove
10:22
clutter, you remove stress. And when you
10:25
remove stress, you gain patience. And
10:27
when you gain patience, you enjoy your
10:30
family more. And that is so so worth it.
10:35
It's worth everything. So if you enjoyed
10:38

10:40
