Alright, this is just a fun challenge — 24 things before 2024. I may or may not have failed ;). But in today’s video, I talk about the power of five minutes when decluttering, the three phases of decluttering a home and the four stages of mastering decluttering as a skill. And, if you like this type of video, check out this one too: https://youtu.be/yBk-bM-PIN8
Also, if you’d like to see my list of 24 things written out…here you go:
1. hats
2. trash
3. broken toys
4. items to re-home
5. old receipts
6. broken pieces of nonsense
7. old customer cards
8. empty containers
9. expired meds
10. extra syringes
11. neglected recycling
12. expired foods
13. foods we never eat
14. extras that would just be nice to give to the food pantry
15. anything rotten!
16. fast food toys
17. things from a past season of life (in my case, cabinet safety latches)
18. duplicates (do you really need two?)
19. outdated tech
20. used up toiletries
21. leftover house project materials
22. excess storage bins (my husband just puts them in weird places around the house)
23. that pile of shipping boxes from Christmas gifts
24. you’ll have to watch to the end to see 😉

Hey, well done!!
Love your channel and your loving disposition and calm voice. Call me “old lady behind the times” but are you writing on your refrigerator? Dry erase marker?Or is it something else?
Good tips!
Bless you from the UK for helping me xx
I’m encouraged by family life in a modest home that’s still beautiful, tidy and homey. Thank you for welcoming us into your home and encouraging us to keep moving forward in small, manageable steps.
That bin under the sink (nº22) was perfect in that spot for when you have a leak. For peace of mind I would leave it there but you can replace it with something smaller. Just think in terms of future minimal cleaning and restoration because of some drips.
That’s what I do now not the 5 minute rule I just pick an area ….do it and I’m done….dont try to do many areas because then I just give up…. 1 area every couple of days….been working great 🎄😊❤️
I JUST did our medicine/bandages storage boxes…they were a mess! I also love to do the 5 minute clean out of my car every week. It feels good to make the smallest space in my life the cleanest when the house sometimes feels too overwhelming.
