ideas is a lot to pack 7 00:00:12,660 --> 00:00:14,889 into one video so instead I'm going to 8 00:00:15,089 --> 00:00:16,659 be splitting it into two in this video 9 00:00:16,859 --> 00:00:17,800 today we're going to be covering the 10 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,870 first 100 ideas for things that you can 11 00:00:20,070 --> 00:00:22,179 do from your life and in the next video 12 00:00:22,379

00:00:45,759 lifestyle content be sure to hit that 24 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,829 subscribe button below alright well I 25 00:00:48,030 --> 00:00:49,659 hope you're excited to dive into this I 26 00:00:49,859 --> 00:00:51,998 know I am here are two hundred things to 27 00:00:52,198 --> 00:00:54,070 declutter in 20 COAG okay let's start 28 00:00:54,270 --> 00:00:55,599 off by talking about the living room 29 00:00:55,799 --> 00:00:58,599 item number one is bulky media units and 30 00:00:58,799 --> 00:01:00,729 not only do media units tend to be quite 31 00:01:00,929 --> 00:01:04,060 oversized and take up a lot of space but 32 00:01:04,260 --> 00:01:06,039 they're also often what I like to call 33 00:01:06,239 --> 00:01:08,140 it clutter catchers meaning that they 34 00:01:08,340 --> 00:01:09,789 store a lot of clutter that we should 35 00:01:09,989 --> 00:01:12,278 perhaps focus on reducing my challenge 36 00:01:12,478 --> 00:01:14,049 for you would be to declutter everything 37 00:01:14,250 --> 00:01:15,759 that's on it and then maybe at that 38 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,250 point you can reduce the size of or get 39 00:01:18,450 --> 00:01:20,500 rid of your media unit completely number 40 00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:22,778 two is word signs and this is often one 41 00:01:22,978 --> 00:01:24,939 of the biggest sources of visual clutter 42 00:01:25,140 --> 00:01:26,349 in our home they are often 43 00:01:26,549 --> 00:01:28,269 counterproductive to creating a visually 44 00:01:28,469 --> 00:01:31,058 clean and relaxing environment so if you 45 00:01:31,259 --> 00:01:33,789 have word signs I would at least reduce 46 00:01:33,989 --> 00:01:36,429 if not get rid of them altogether this 47 00:01:36,629 --> 00:01:38,109 can go a long way to helping your space 48 00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:40,179 look clean and clutter-free number three 49 00:01:40,379 --> 00:01:42,009 is magazines and if you have a large 50 00:01:42,209 --> 00:01:43,659 collection of Vogue your National 51 00:01:43,859 --> 00:01:45,698 Geographic magazines or simply if you 52 00:01:45,899 --> 00:01:47,109 have a number of magazines that you've 53 00:01:47,310 --> 00:01:48,640 been waiting to read but have never 54 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,948 gotten around to I recommend recycling a 55 00:01:51,149 --> 00:01:52,988 lot of those magazines and of course the 56 00:01:53,188 --> 00:01:54,759 same thing goes for newspapers as well 57 00:01:54,959 --> 00:01:57,219 number four is ultra motes and often 58 00:01:57,420 --> 00:01:59,738 will hold on to remotes long after we 59 00:01:59,938 --> 00:02:02,738 stopped using or perhaps even owning the 60 00:02:02,938 --> 00:02:04,539 electronics that they belong to so if 61 00:02:04,739 --> 00:02:06,459 you have any old or unused remotes you 62 00:02:06,659 --> 00:02:08,140 can just get rid of them number five is 63 00:02:08,340 --> 00:02:09,180 excess coast 64 00:02:09,379 --> 00:02:11,250 and I will often visit people to almost 65 00:02:11,449 --> 00:02:14,640 have eight or more coasters for only two 66 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,590 people what I would suggest is to keep 67 00:02:16,789 --> 00:02:18,660 one coaster for each person who lives in 68 00:02:18,860 --> 00:02:20,550 the house plus maybe two extra for 69 00:02:20,750 --> 00:02:22,110 company keep in mind if you're worried 70 00:02:22,310 --> 00:02:23,730 about damaging furniture that things 71 00:02:23,930 --> 00:02:25,650 like napkins can always be used as 72 00:02:25,849 --> 00:02:27,810 coasters in opinion okay number six is 73 00:02:28,009 --> 00:02:30,210 threadbare or stained rugs and rugs can 74 00:02:30,409 --> 00:02:31,890 often be not only functional but 75 00:02:32,090 --> 00:02:34,260 beautiful however if they're threadbare 76 00:02:34,460 --> 00:02:36,180 or stained they aren't able to serve 77 00:02:36,379 --> 00:02:38,490 that incredible purpose for you and it's 78 00:02:38,689 --> 00:02:40,290 best just to get rid of them number 79 00:02:40,490 --> 00:02:42,510 seven is unused video games and if there 80 00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:43,950 are any games that you've either played 81 00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:46,770 through or never fully plan on playing 82 00:02:46,969 --> 00:02:49,920 you can either sell or donate these next 83 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,930 number eight is DVDs and if you have a 84 00:02:52,129 --> 00:02:54,450 large DVD collection what I would do is 85 00:02:54,650 --> 00:02:56,820 go through each one you have and ask 86 00:02:57,020 --> 00:03:00,000 yourself will I ever watch this again if 87 00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:02,010 the answer is no it's simply adding 88 00:03:02,210 --> 00:03:03,930 clutter number nine is CDs and with 89 00:03:04,129 --> 00:03:05,969 these you can digitize them I did this 90 00:03:06,169 --> 00:03:07,439 several years ago with my CD collection 91 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,420 and now they're all housed on an 92 00:03:09,620 --> 00:03:11,520 external hard drive and I have several 93 00:03:11,719 --> 00:03:13,110 of them download it's my phone as well 94 00:03:13,310 --> 00:03:15,060 number ten is decor pieces with no 95 00:03:15,259 --> 00:03:17,100 meaning and while I'm definitely a big 96 00:03:17,300 --> 00:03:19,890 proponent of decor that brings you joy 97 00:03:20,090 --> 00:03:22,080 or has a great memory associated with it 98 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,330 if you have decor pieces that were maybe 99 00:03:24,530 --> 00:03:27,390 buy at a box store that don't 100 00:03:27,590 --> 00:03:30,060 necessarily have any specific meaning 101 00:03:30,259 --> 00:03:32,010 attached to them I would ask yourself do 102 00:03:32,210 --> 00:03:34,620 I truly love this item does it spark joy 103 00:03:34,819 --> 00:03:37,170 for me if it doesn't I would consider to 104 00:03:37,370 --> 00:03:39,300 cluttering it because after all isn't 105 00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:42,060 the entire purpose of decor to bring us 106 00:03:42,259 --> 00:03:44,330 joy eleven is unused couches and chairs 107 00:03:44,530 --> 00:03:46,860 furniture is meant to serve a practical 108 00:03:47,060 --> 00:03:48,840 purpose so if it isn't being used I 109 00:03:49,039 --> 00:03:51,210 would consider selling number 12 is TVs 110 00:03:51,409 --> 00:03:53,910 and while a TV can be a great source of 111 00:03:54,110 --> 00:03:56,189 entertainment and enjoyment having 112 00:03:56,389 --> 00:03:57,960 multiple TVs often serves as a 113 00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:00,420 distraction from our desire to live an 114 00:04:00,620 --> 00:04:02,580 intentional life so if you have multiple 115 00:04:02,780 --> 00:04:05,430 TVs scattered throughout the house try 116 00:04:05,629 --> 00:04:08,070 going down to just one number 13 is 117 00:04:08,270 --> 00:04:10,200 unused for games if you love and 118 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,910 regularly use board games that's 119 00:04:12,110 --> 00:04:14,550 fantastic keep them but if you have any 120 00:04:14,750 --> 00:04:16,079 of that you're probably never going to 121 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:17,250 play or maybe 122 00:04:17,449 --> 00:04:19,230 and once and haven't touched since 123 00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:21,360 consider if it might be time to get rid 124 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,430 of them along the same lines number 14 125 00:04:23,629 --> 00:04:25,829 is games with missing pieces if a game 126 00:04:26,029 --> 00:04:27,930 is missing crucial pieces making it so 127 00:04:28,129 --> 00:04:29,970 that you can't play it's probably time 128 00:04:30,170 --> 00:04:32,069 to let go of that game and then number 129 00:04:32,269 --> 00:04:34,590 15 is often housed in the same place as 130 00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:36,569 board games but if you have puzzles that 131 00:04:36,769 --> 00:04:37,939 either you're never going to do again 132 00:04:38,139 --> 00:04:40,020 you're never going to complete in the 133 00:04:40,220 --> 00:04:42,000 first place or they're missing too many 134 00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:43,439 pieces for you to really get the 135 00:04:43,639 --> 00:04:46,590 satisfaction of completing a puzzle you 136 00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:48,150 might want to get rid of those keep in 137 00:04:48,350 --> 00:04:50,160 mind the fact that you simply may not be 138 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,560 a puzzle person if you don't get 139 00:04:52,759 --> 00:04:55,230 enjoyment from completing puzzles you 140 00:04:55,430 --> 00:04:57,180 might not want to hold on to 141 00:04:57,379 --> 00:04:59,310 16 is knickknacks from travel and I 142 00:04:59,509 --> 00:05:01,379 would ask yourself does that Florida 143 00:05:01,579 --> 00:05:04,050 Dolphin sculpture actually remind you of 144 00:05:04,250 --> 00:05:05,520 a memory or did you simply buy it 145 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,439 because you felt like you had to come 146 00:05:07,639 --> 00:05:09,660 back with a souvenir while you were on 147 00:05:09,860 --> 00:05:11,970 vacation if you don't love the souvenirs 148 00:05:12,170 --> 00:05:13,410 you have and they're just collecting 149 00:05:13,610 --> 00:05:15,360 dust those might be great candidates for 150 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,790 declaring number 17 is old posters that 151 00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:19,530 are being used I'd recommend taking a 152 00:05:19,730 --> 00:05:21,389 picture of each of those posters and 153 00:05:21,589 --> 00:05:23,009 then getting rid of the physical items 154 00:05:23,209 --> 00:05:25,170 if they aren't hung up now they probably 155 00:05:25,370 --> 00:05:27,180 never will be and so there's no point 156 00:05:27,379 --> 00:05:29,100 keeping them around number 18 is TD 157 00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:31,590 clutter dead plants of course if it's 158 00:05:31,790 --> 00:05:33,420 just drooping a little and something 159 00:05:33,620 --> 00:05:35,550 that water can revive by all means go 160 00:05:35,750 --> 00:05:37,560 ahead and nurse that plant back to life 161 00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:40,199 but sometimes they're just a little bit 162 00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:42,180 too far gone and if that's the case for 163 00:05:42,379 --> 00:05:44,790 any plants in your life tactimon fine I 164 00:05:44,990 --> 00:05:47,430 love this one number 19 is ugly plastic 165 00:05:47,629 --> 00:05:49,470 plants if you have a hard time taking 166 00:05:49,670 --> 00:05:51,689 care of live plants or you just prefer 167 00:05:51,889 --> 00:05:53,430 plastic plants there's nothing wrong 168 00:05:53,629 --> 00:05:54,090 with that 169 00:05:54,290 --> 00:05:56,670 but if you have any that are past their 170 00:05:56,870 --> 00:05:58,980 prime Michelle Lee say you might not 171 00:05:59,180 --> 00:06:01,590 need those number 20 is coffee tables or 172 00:06:01,790 --> 00:06:04,050 side tables that have no practical 173 00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:06,150 purpose and having some kind of table in 174 00:06:06,350 --> 00:06:07,920 your living area can be helpful as a 175 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,930 place to rest hot drinks or to put a 176 00:06:10,129 --> 00:06:11,340 book down when you're finished reading 177 00:06:11,540 --> 00:06:13,079 but the problem comes when we end up 178 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,910 having a coffee table and multiple side 179 00:06:15,110 --> 00:06:17,579 tables just because when we're not 180 00:06:17,779 --> 00:06:19,949 necessarily using all of this number 21 181 00:06:20,149 --> 00:06:22,259 is uncomfortable throw blankets and I 182 00:06:22,459 --> 00:06:25,449 really enjoy using blankets too 183 00:06:25,649 --> 00:06:27,879 up in at night they're cozy they're warm 184 00:06:28,079 --> 00:06:30,218 there's something very few yet about 185 00:06:30,418 --> 00:06:33,309 them but if you have uncomfortable throw 186 00:06:33,509 --> 00:06:35,920 blankets in your living room chances are 187 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,139 you are not going to be using those to 188 00:06:38,339 --> 00:06:40,240 snuggle up and given that's the case I 189 00:06:40,439 --> 00:06:41,889 would just declutter any uncomfortable 190 00:06:42,089 --> 00:06:44,170 throw blankets you might have number 22 191 00:06:44,370 --> 00:06:46,420 is burned-out candles and I don't know 192 00:06:46,620 --> 00:06:48,699 about you but I have a tendency to hold 193 00:06:48,899 --> 00:06:51,009 on to candles thinking that I can get 194 00:06:51,209 --> 00:06:53,259 just five extra minutes of burn out of 195 00:06:53,459 --> 00:06:55,360 them when realistically they're 196 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,639 definitely burned out yes they might be 197 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,410 beautiful but if the candle has burned 198 00:06:59,610 --> 00:07:01,778 out it ceases to be practical and on a 199 00:07:01,978 --> 00:07:03,939 similar note number 23 is candles that 200 00:07:04,139 --> 00:07:06,338 you don't like the smell of obviously 201 00:07:06,538 --> 00:07:08,410 our relative enjoyment of scents is 202 00:07:08,610 --> 00:07:10,480 highly individual and so if you have a 203 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,278 perfectly good candle that you simply 204 00:07:12,478 --> 00:07:14,259 don't like the smell of I consider 205 00:07:14,459 --> 00:07:16,329 giving it to a friend I'm sure they'd 206 00:07:16,529 --> 00:07:18,610 appreciate it 24 is a great one and that 207 00:07:18,810 --> 00:07:20,889 is non-functional throw pillows throw 208 00:07:21,089 --> 00:07:23,139 pillows should ideally serve a purpose 209 00:07:23,339 --> 00:07:25,809 in providing us back or lumbar support 210 00:07:26,009 --> 00:07:27,579 so if you have way more throw pillows 211 00:07:27,779 --> 00:07:28,660 than you actually need 212 00:07:28,860 --> 00:07:31,028 or perhaps you use them for purely 213 00:07:31,228 --> 00:07:33,100 decorative purposes I would consider 214 00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:34,749 whether or not they might simply be 215 00:07:34,949 --> 00:07:36,490 adding to the visual clutter in your 216 00:07:36,689 --> 00:07:39,310 home let's talk about books number 25 is 217 00:07:39,509 --> 00:07:41,860 books that you have read and do not plan 218 00:07:42,060 --> 00:07:43,300 on rereading this one's pretty 219 00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:44,800 straightforward if you don't plan on 220 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,749 using it again it's just adding clutter 221 00:07:46,949 --> 00:07:48,610 number 26 is books that you've never 222 00:07:48,810 --> 00:07:51,040 read and don't plan to read it was this 223 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,749 one I asked you to be critical with 224 00:07:52,949 --> 00:07:54,699 yourself is there a book that maybe 225 00:07:54,899 --> 00:07:56,980 you've been putting off for your three 226 00:07:57,180 --> 00:07:59,860 or five or more years saying I'll get 227 00:08:00,060 --> 00:08:01,990 around to reading it someday if it's 228 00:08:02,189 --> 00:08:03,939 been waiting that long someday they 229 00:08:04,139 --> 00:08:06,338 never actually come and so you might 230 00:08:06,538 --> 00:08:08,800 want to get rid of those books number 27 231 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,389 is bookshelves that aren't practical 232 00:08:10,589 --> 00:08:13,060 bookshelves are designed to store books 233 00:08:13,259 --> 00:08:15,278 but oftentimes I'll see bookshelves that 234 00:08:15,478 --> 00:08:18,009 can hold maybe ten books on them so I 235 00:08:18,209 --> 00:08:19,300 would start off by getting rid of any 236 00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:20,980 bookshelves that aren't practical but 237 00:08:21,180 --> 00:08:22,300 then once you've done that ask yourself 238 00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:23,980 if you might be able to reduce the 239 00:08:24,180 --> 00:08:26,499 number of bookshelves that you have once 240 00:08:26,699 --> 00:08:27,759 you've gone through and decluttered some 241 00:08:27,959 --> 00:08:28,838 of those books that you're never 242 00:08:29,038 --> 00:08:30,879 planning on reading or reading okay 243 00:08:31,079 --> 00:08:32,609 let's move on now and talk about that 244 00:08:32,809 --> 00:08:35,968 room number 28 is flat pillows and old 245 00:08:36,168 --> 00:08:37,979 pillows that have gone flat and lost 246 00:08:38,179 --> 00:08:41,218 their poofiness our recipe for back and 247 00:08:41,418 --> 00:08:43,229 neck pain if you often feel a lot of 248 00:08:43,429 --> 00:08:45,029 pain when you first wake up in the 249 00:08:45,230 --> 00:08:47,039 morning it might actually be your pillow 250 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,899 that's the problem and it's time to 251 00:08:49,100 --> 00:08:51,779 replace 29 is unused or bulky dressers 252 00:08:51,980 --> 00:08:53,519 and not only do these pieces of 253 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,469 furniture tend to take up a lot of space 254 00:08:55,669 --> 00:08:57,509 in our bedrooms often they're not the 255 00:08:57,710 --> 00:08:59,429 most efficient way of storing our 256 00:08:59,629 --> 00:09:00,929 clothing and if you have one of those 257 00:09:01,129 --> 00:09:03,179 big dressers I would see if you can 258 00:09:03,379 --> 00:09:04,769 reduce the amount of clothing you have 259 00:09:04,970 --> 00:09:06,569 to the point where either you don't need 260 00:09:06,769 --> 00:09:08,849 it or there might be a smaller and more 261 00:09:09,049 --> 00:09:11,429 compact solution that might work better 262 00:09:11,629 --> 00:09:13,319 for you in trying to store your clothing 263 00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:15,870 number 30 is vanities you don't use and 264 00:09:16,070 --> 00:09:17,729 I feel like these often come in sets 265 00:09:17,929 --> 00:09:19,679 with those larger dressers but if you 266 00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:21,779 have a vanity that you don't actively 267 00:09:21,980 --> 00:09:23,969 use it's simply adding clutter and 268 00:09:24,169 --> 00:09:27,000 taking up valuable space number 31 is 269 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,559 extra sheets and I know several people 270 00:09:28,759 --> 00:09:31,139 who have 3 plus pairs of sheets for 271 00:09:31,339 --> 00:09:32,789 every bed that they have in their home 272 00:09:32,990 --> 00:09:34,679 in my opinion you really don't need that 273 00:09:34,879 --> 00:09:36,839 many what I would do is keep one pair of 274 00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:38,339 sheets for every bed that you have in 275 00:09:38,539 --> 00:09:40,529 the home Plus maybe an extra in case 276 00:09:40,730 --> 00:09:42,240 you're washing the laundry or anything 277 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,370 like number 32 is to declutter your 278 00:09:44,570 --> 00:09:46,349 alarm clock if you use your alarm clock 279 00:09:46,549 --> 00:09:48,089 to tell when you need to get up every 280 00:09:48,289 --> 00:09:49,829 single day that's fantastic 281 00:09:50,029 --> 00:09:52,349 keep it but if you don't consider 282 00:09:52,549 --> 00:09:54,059 whether or not you actually need it I 283 00:09:54,259 --> 00:09:55,769 feel like so many of us have made guilty 284 00:09:55,970 --> 00:09:57,209 of this at one point or another but 285 00:09:57,409 --> 00:10:00,329 number 33 is to declutter that accent 286 00:10:00,529 --> 00:10:02,819 chair that just collects clothing if you 287 00:10:03,019 --> 00:10:03,899 have a chair that just tends to 288 00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:06,240 accumulate clothing that can be a huge 289 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,490 source of visual clutter and it's best 290 00:10:08,690 --> 00:10:10,439 just to get rid of it okay I have a few 291 00:10:10,639 --> 00:10:12,209 for those of you who have children 292 00:10:12,409 --> 00:10:15,359 number 34 is to get rid of outgrown or 293 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,849 unused toys the average kid today has 294 00:10:18,049 --> 00:10:20,429 way more toys than they actually need or 295 00:10:20,629 --> 00:10:22,709 realistically can play with and so as 296 00:10:22,909 --> 00:10:24,508 you identify toys that either your child 297 00:10:24,708 --> 00:10:27,179 who doesn't play with regularly or maybe 298 00:10:27,379 --> 00:10:29,370 they've outgrown you can just put these 299 00:10:29,570 --> 00:10:31,289 aside and declutter and then the same 300 00:10:31,490 --> 00:10:33,389 goes for number 35 which is books but 301 00:10:33,589 --> 00:10:34,979 your children have either outgrown or 302 00:10:35,179 --> 00:10:36,809 don't particularly like rather than 303 00:10:37,009 --> 00:10:39,120 accumulating them and causing clutter 304 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,699 just go through them and declutter 305 00:10:41,899 --> 00:10:43,709 whatever ones they're no longer using 306 00:10:43,909 --> 00:10:46,439 and then will lump number 36 and 37 307 00:10:46,639 --> 00:10:48,479 together and that is clothing and 308 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,008 furniture that your children have 309 00:10:50,208 --> 00:10:52,109 outgrown especially in those first few 310 00:10:52,309 --> 00:10:54,750 years kids are growing rapidly and they 311 00:10:54,950 --> 00:10:56,519 never seem to stay in clothing for 312 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,859 longer than a couple of months so just 313 00:10:59,059 --> 00:11:00,629 make sure that you develop a regular 314 00:11:00,830 --> 00:11:02,939 habit of going through and identifying 315 00:11:03,139 --> 00:11:05,189 is there any clothing furniture or just 316 00:11:05,389 --> 00:11:07,049 other general possessions related to 317 00:11:07,250 --> 00:11:08,579 your children that might no longer be 318 00:11:08,779 --> 00:11:10,919 relevant to them as they age number 38 319 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,389 is used up coloring books or art 320 00:11:12,589 --> 00:11:14,250 supplies and a simple way about thinking 321 00:11:14,450 --> 00:11:16,019 about this one is that if it's used up 322 00:11:16,220 --> 00:11:19,169 it isn't useful number 39 is artwork and 323 00:11:19,370 --> 00:11:20,669 I know that children's artwork can be 324 00:11:20,870 --> 00:11:22,859 really meaningful to parents but rather 325 00:11:23,059 --> 00:11:24,479 than keep every single drawing or 326 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:25,799 painting your child does my 327 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,689 recommendation is to keep only the best 328 00:11:27,889 --> 00:11:29,909 of the best you can display and even 329 00:11:30,110 --> 00:11:32,370 frame some of those items but don't feel 330 00:11:32,570 --> 00:11:34,889 the need to hold on to all okay let's 331 00:11:35,089 --> 00:11:36,269 move on now and talk about the kitchen 332 00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:39,240 numbers 40 and 41 are unused blenders 333 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,399 and juicers and if you regularly make 334 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,559 juices or smoothies by all means hold 335 00:11:43,759 --> 00:11:45,120 onto these items but if you can't 336 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,589 remember the last time you got out your 337 00:11:46,789 --> 00:11:48,329 juicer or got out your blender they 338 00:11:48,529 --> 00:11:50,279 aren't actually helping you and so I 339 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,378 would either donate them or give them to 340 00:11:52,578 --> 00:11:54,179 someone who actually can use them number 341 00:11:54,379 --> 00:11:56,639 42 is weird kitchen gadgets and if you 342 00:11:56,839 --> 00:11:59,189 have a device that's meant specifically 343 00:11:59,389 --> 00:12:00,779 to take the heads off of strawberries 344 00:12:00,980 --> 00:12:03,269 are the pits off of avocados consider 345 00:12:03,470 --> 00:12:05,279 whether or not you actually need those 346 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,740 items often a simple knife does the 347 00:12:07,940 --> 00:12:09,689 trick just as well and getting rid of 348 00:12:09,889 --> 00:12:12,299 these weird kitchen gadgets can really 349 00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:14,159 go a long way towards reducing clutter 350 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,799 in this area in the same vein 43 is 351 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,839 duplicate kitchen utensils and if you 352 00:12:19,039 --> 00:12:20,909 have two potato mashers or three pairs 353 00:12:21,110 --> 00:12:23,219 of salad tongs I would just go through 354 00:12:23,419 --> 00:12:25,079 the kitchen utensils you have and remove 355 00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:26,758 any duplicates that you don't need 356 00:12:26,958 --> 00:12:29,159 number 44 is excess fridge magnets and 357 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:30,809 if you have a lot of fridge magnets that 358 00:12:31,009 --> 00:12:31,279 aren't 359 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,229 actually being used what they're doing 360 00:12:33,429 --> 00:12:35,599 is creating visual clutter and making 361 00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:37,969 your kitchen look more messy than it 362 00:12:38,169 --> 00:12:41,508 actually might be 45 is nice some day 363 00:12:41,708 --> 00:12:43,609 types of appliances this might be a 364 00:12:43,809 --> 00:12:46,008 panini press waffle maker an airfryer 365 00:12:46,208 --> 00:12:47,779 there are certain kitchen appliances 366 00:12:47,980 --> 00:12:49,909 that aren't very versatile in the sense 367 00:12:50,110 --> 00:12:51,709 that there's really only one or two 368 00:12:51,909 --> 00:12:53,479 things that you can really use them for 369 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,399 if you have any such punching appliances 370 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,709 that you aren't using regularly ask 371 00:12:57,909 --> 00:12:59,089 yourself whether or not it's worth 372 00:12:59,289 --> 00:13:01,758 holding on 46 is awkward sized pots and 373 00:13:01,958 --> 00:13:03,919 pans most of us tend to have a select 374 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,688 number of pots and pans that we enjoy 375 00:13:05,889 --> 00:13:08,089 and use regularly those ones are easy 376 00:13:08,289 --> 00:13:09,649 keeps but if you have any of that our 377 00:13:09,850 --> 00:13:11,479 awkward sizes or that are just a little 378 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,849 bit difficult to use you probably aren't 379 00:13:14,049 --> 00:13:15,979 using them and thus don't actually need 380 00:13:16,179 --> 00:13:18,349 them 47 is extra baking sheets and if 381 00:13:18,549 --> 00:13:20,299 you've accumulated several of these over 382 00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:22,279 the years keep only those that are the 383 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,188 most practical and most used by you 48 384 00:13:25,389 --> 00:13:26,870 it's cookbooks and if you have some 385 00:13:27,070 --> 00:13:28,998 cookbook that you use regularly and 386 00:13:29,198 --> 00:13:31,578 reference often definitely keep those 387 00:13:31,778 --> 00:13:33,589 but if you have any that are collecting 388 00:13:33,789 --> 00:13:34,698 dust or that you don't reach for 389 00:13:34,899 --> 00:13:37,188 regularly donate them or give them to a 390 00:13:37,389 --> 00:13:39,948 friend 49 is excess jars and containers 391 00:13:40,149 --> 00:13:41,748 with this one keep what you actually 392 00:13:41,948 --> 00:13:44,448 need and will use and get rid of the 393 00:13:44,649 --> 00:13:46,399 rest and the number 50 we are halfway 394 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,099 through is extra bases consider how many 395 00:13:49,299 --> 00:13:51,078 of these you use regularly maybe it's 396 00:13:51,278 --> 00:13:53,269 one maybe it's multiple maybe it's none 397 00:13:53,470 --> 00:13:54,828 and then just keep the appropriate 398 00:13:55,028 --> 00:13:56,359 amount that's in relation to how much 399 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,878 you actually use them number 51 is cheap 400 00:13:59,078 --> 00:14:00,828 or dull knives and these are really just 401 00:14:01,028 --> 00:14:02,599 a pain to work with it so if you have 402 00:14:02,799 --> 00:14:04,609 any old cheap or dull knives I would 403 00:14:04,809 --> 00:14:06,529 definitely get rid of these and if 404 00:14:06,730 --> 00:14:09,529 needed consider buying one high quality 405 00:14:09,730 --> 00:14:11,868 knife that you can use for years 406 00:14:12,068 --> 00:14:15,349 number 52 is too many or broken reusable 407 00:14:15,549 --> 00:14:16,099 bottles 408 00:14:16,299 --> 00:14:18,258 I love reusable bottles and use my Klean 409 00:14:18,458 --> 00:14:20,209 Kanteen all the time but if you have 410 00:14:20,409 --> 00:14:22,609 most poles or perhaps you have old ones 411 00:14:22,809 --> 00:14:24,529 that are no longer working they're 412 00:14:24,730 --> 00:14:26,990 broken you don't need to hold on to more 413 00:14:27,190 --> 00:14:29,419 than you need 53 is matches and if you 414 00:14:29,620 --> 00:14:31,490 have matches that you don't use you 415 00:14:31,690 --> 00:14:34,099 don't actually need them 54 is cracked 416 00:14:34,299 --> 00:14:36,139 or broken dishes and I'm not saying that 417 00:14:36,339 --> 00:14:38,029 if you get a small chip on a plate that 418 00:14:38,230 --> 00:14:39,889 you need to immediately declutter it 419 00:14:40,089 --> 00:14:41,928 you have dishes with groin cracks or 420 00:14:42,129 --> 00:14:44,839 glassware of any kind that has chips and 421 00:14:45,039 --> 00:14:46,279 it you'll definitely want to get rid of 422 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,919 these number 55 is ice cube trays you 423 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,899 don't use and if you don't have an ice 424 00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:52,818 maker built into your fridge then 425 00:14:53,019 --> 00:14:54,649 obviously these serve a practical 426 00:14:54,850 --> 00:14:56,628 purpose but if you have an ice cube 427 00:14:56,828 --> 00:14:58,818 maker built into your fridge most likely 428 00:14:59,019 --> 00:15:00,828 you're not actually using that ice cube 429 00:15:01,028 --> 00:15:03,169 trays that you own and you can let go of 430 00:15:03,370 --> 00:15:06,469 them 56 is single-use plastic straws and 431 00:15:06,669 --> 00:15:07,849 not only can these be harmful to the 432 00:15:08,049 --> 00:15:08,568 environment 433 00:15:08,769 --> 00:15:11,029 realistically they're unnecessary if you 434 00:15:11,230 --> 00:15:12,558 have them I would use up what you 435 00:15:12,759 --> 00:15:14,298 currently have and then just refrain 436 00:15:14,499 --> 00:15:16,008 from repurchasing them and then on the 437 00:15:16,208 --> 00:15:18,108 other side of the coin number 57 is 438 00:15:18,308 --> 00:15:21,139 excess reusable straws keep the number 439 00:15:21,339 --> 00:15:23,238 that you realistically are going to use 440 00:15:23,438 --> 00:15:25,578 and get value from but then don't hold 441 00:15:25,778 --> 00:15:28,519 on to any excess reusable straws just 442 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,349 because they're sustainable 58 is 443 00:15:30,549 --> 00:15:33,318 discolored or too many old mugs yes many 444 00:15:33,519 --> 00:15:34,998 of them might be sentimental but I would 445 00:15:35,198 --> 00:15:37,128 encourage you just to keep the best of 446 00:15:37,328 --> 00:15:39,378 the best fifty-nine is excess or 447 00:15:39,578 --> 00:15:41,539 mismatched cutlery and with this one I 448 00:15:41,740 --> 00:15:43,399 always think of that random fork that 449 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,139 everyone want to own that matches none 450 00:15:45,339 --> 00:15:46,519 of the rest of their cutlery that 451 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,498 somebody left behind at their home one 452 00:15:48,698 --> 00:15:50,599 day and they've held on to for far too 453 00:15:50,799 --> 00:15:51,019 long 454 00:15:51,220 --> 00:15:53,358 so if you have any mismatched cutlery I 455 00:15:53,558 --> 00:15:55,008 would go ahead and donate those items 456 00:15:55,208 --> 00:15:56,988 and the same thing goes for if you have 457 00:15:57,188 --> 00:16:00,019 too much cutlery as well number 60 is 458 00:16:00,220 --> 00:16:01,909 your China collection and if you have 459 00:16:02,110 --> 00:16:04,608 one of these and don't regularly or at 460 00:16:04,808 --> 00:16:07,219 least semi regularly use the China you 461 00:16:07,419 --> 00:16:09,378 own it might be time either to donate it 462 00:16:09,578 --> 00:16:10,938 or to pass it along to someone who 463 00:16:11,139 --> 00:16:13,578 actually will use it next number 61 is 464 00:16:13,778 --> 00:16:16,519 past their prime sponges and if like me 465 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,678 you have a tendency to hold on to 466 00:16:18,879 --> 00:16:21,289 dishwashing sponges far past their prime 467 00:16:21,490 --> 00:16:24,048 use this video as your encouragement to 468 00:16:24,249 --> 00:16:26,628 replace that old sponge okay number 62 469 00:16:26,828 --> 00:16:29,508 is mismatched storage container storage 470 00:16:29,708 --> 00:16:31,308 containers can be a great way of saving 471 00:16:31,509 --> 00:16:33,078 food so that you can then eat it later 472 00:16:33,278 --> 00:16:34,789 but if you have lids that don't match 473 00:16:34,990 --> 00:16:37,459 the containers or vice versa those items 474 00:16:37,659 --> 00:16:40,159 aren't actually useful to you and so I 475 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:41,959 would just to clutter those items number 476 00:16:42,159 --> 00:16:44,899 63 is take out food paraphernalia so 477 00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:46,519 this might include chopsticks little 478 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,279 sauce packets plastic cutlery throw out 479 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,939 or recycle any takeout food paraffin 480 00:16:52,139 --> 00:16:54,039 you might have in your home and number 481 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,349 64 is a very closely related one a nice 482 00:16:56,549 --> 00:16:59,019 takeout menus nowadays you can look up 483 00:16:59,220 --> 00:17:01,599 restaurants view their menus and order 484 00:17:01,799 --> 00:17:04,089 all online which really makes these 485 00:17:04,289 --> 00:17:07,059 menus irrelevant 65 is stained or worn 486 00:17:07,259 --> 00:17:09,309 out tea towels if an item is worn out 487 00:17:09,509 --> 00:17:10,930 it's important that we recognize that 488 00:17:11,130 --> 00:17:14,829 and learn to move on 66 is placemats and 489 00:17:15,029 --> 00:17:17,559 I have a simple question for you do you 490 00:17:17,759 --> 00:17:20,500 actually use your place - if you do 491 00:17:20,700 --> 00:17:23,349 great keep them but if you don't I would 492 00:17:23,549 --> 00:17:25,119 strongly consider decluttering your 493 00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:25,869 placemats 494 00:17:26,069 --> 00:17:27,909 okay that covers the kitchen let's look 495 00:17:28,109 --> 00:17:30,819 at the pantry next number 67 is to 496 00:17:31,019 --> 00:17:33,609 declutter unused spices sometimes we'll 497 00:17:33,809 --> 00:17:36,399 hold on to these spices just in case but 498 00:17:36,599 --> 00:17:38,079 chances are you're never actually going 499 00:17:38,279 --> 00:17:40,809 to need these spices and if you don't 500 00:17:41,009 --> 00:17:42,879 like the flavor of them why would you 501 00:17:43,079 --> 00:17:44,409 want to hold on to them anyways 502 00:17:44,609 --> 00:17:46,629 68 is expired foods and this one is 503 00:17:46,829 --> 00:17:48,639 extremely straightforward if something 504 00:17:48,839 --> 00:17:50,349 has gone bad you're not going to eat it 505 00:17:50,549 --> 00:17:52,599 and it's just adding clutter number 69 506 00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:54,730 is foods that you've tried but don't 507 00:17:54,930 --> 00:17:56,829 like and it can feel wasteful of getting 508 00:17:57,029 --> 00:17:59,259 rid of food that we don't like but if we 509 00:17:59,460 --> 00:18:01,450 don't enjoy something we're not actually 510 00:18:01,650 --> 00:18:03,190 going to eat it most of the time which 511 00:18:03,390 --> 00:18:04,990 means that what often happens is that we 512 00:18:05,190 --> 00:18:07,210 just wait for it to go bad and then get 513 00:18:07,410 --> 00:18:08,950 rid of it at that point instead of 514 00:18:09,150 --> 00:18:10,299 loving that happen I would see if 515 00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:11,710 there's a friend or family member who 516 00:18:11,910 --> 00:18:13,720 likes that I know that you might be able 517 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,059 to give it number 70 is condiments or 518 00:18:16,259 --> 00:18:18,730 sauces that you only used once it can be 519 00:18:18,930 --> 00:18:20,919 easy to accumulate way more condiments 520 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,409 then we actually need I would keep the 521 00:18:23,609 --> 00:18:25,750 ones that you used regularly or at least 522 00:18:25,950 --> 00:18:28,750 semi regularly but if there is any that 523 00:18:28,950 --> 00:18:30,909 you bought for one specific dish and 524 00:18:31,109 --> 00:18:33,940 haven't used in months or years I would 525 00:18:34,140 --> 00:18:36,639 get rid of those items 71 is old candy 526 00:18:36,839 --> 00:18:38,529 and although candy does tend to have a 527 00:18:38,730 --> 00:18:41,019 longer shelf life than other foods after 528 00:18:41,220 --> 00:18:43,899 a while it does go stale and at that 529 00:18:44,099 --> 00:18:45,759 point you're not going to enjoy eating 530 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,759 it 72 is freezer-burned foods and I 531 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,200 don't know if you've ever tried eating 532 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,169 freezer-burned ice cream but it isn't 533 00:18:53,369 --> 00:18:55,269 good don't let it stay in your freezer 534 00:18:55,470 --> 00:18:57,970 waiting for the magical day when you 535 00:18:58,170 --> 00:18:59,740 suddenly feel like you can freeze or 536 00:18:59,940 --> 00:19:01,930 burn food you're not going to enjoy it 537 00:19:02,130 --> 00:19:02,848 it's 538 00:19:03,048 --> 00:19:04,529 kind of wrecked at this point and it's 539 00:19:04,730 --> 00:19:06,209 time to just talk about this little off 540 00:19:06,409 --> 00:19:08,788 and then number 73 and 74 really go 541 00:19:08,989 --> 00:19:11,178 together and that is excess or expired 542 00:19:11,378 --> 00:19:13,588 medication after a while medications 543 00:19:13,788 --> 00:19:15,629 tend to lose their potency so if either 544 00:19:15,829 --> 00:19:17,548 you have too many of a specific type of 545 00:19:17,749 --> 00:19:20,159 medication ones that you don't use or 546 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,168 that don't really work well for you or 547 00:19:22,368 --> 00:19:24,750 perhaps any that have expired and gone 548 00:19:24,950 --> 00:19:26,938 bad I would get rid of those okay we're 549 00:19:27,138 --> 00:19:28,259 getting to the end of this one let's 550 00:19:28,460 --> 00:19:30,088 move on now and talk about the bathroom 551 00:19:30,288 --> 00:19:33,209 number 75 is makeup that's the wrong 552 00:19:33,409 --> 00:19:35,519 shade if you have tinted moisturizers or 553 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,379 foundations that are too dark or too 554 00:19:37,579 --> 00:19:40,348 light for your skin tone it isn't going 555 00:19:40,548 --> 00:19:42,298 to look natural but likewise if you have 556 00:19:42,499 --> 00:19:44,788 any eyes shadows blushes or bronzers 557 00:19:44,989 --> 00:19:47,519 that don't match your skin or that your 558 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,250 complexion in general I wouldn't hold on 559 00:19:50,450 --> 00:19:50,908 to those either 560 00:19:51,108 --> 00:19:53,848 number 76 is expired makeup there is no 561 00:19:54,048 --> 00:19:56,879 point in keeping gloopy or clumpy makeup 562 00:19:57,079 --> 00:19:59,129 that's gone past it's expiration date 563 00:19:59,329 --> 00:20:01,649 number 77 is empty products and I think 564 00:20:01,849 --> 00:20:03,448 when we get to that last little bit of 565 00:20:03,648 --> 00:20:05,969 makeup or skincare products we tend to 566 00:20:06,169 --> 00:20:07,709 hold on to it because it's not 567 00:20:07,909 --> 00:20:10,198 technically emptied so my suggestion is 568 00:20:10,398 --> 00:20:12,629 to just use up the rest of that bottle 569 00:20:12,829 --> 00:20:15,029 that last little bit and then at that 570 00:20:15,230 --> 00:20:17,129 point declutter guide number 78 is 571 00:20:17,329 --> 00:20:19,108 makeup brushes that are worn out in the 572 00:20:19,308 --> 00:20:20,519 same way that you need to replace your 573 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,918 toothbrush every once in a while because 574 00:20:23,118 --> 00:20:25,678 the bristles get frayed and no longer as 575 00:20:25,878 --> 00:20:27,928 effective at brushing your teeth same 576 00:20:28,128 --> 00:20:29,759 thing goes for makeup brushes if you 577 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,798 have any that are frayed and that aren't 578 00:20:31,999 --> 00:20:33,658 working the way that they're designed to 579 00:20:33,858 --> 00:20:35,908 work anymore you can declutter those 580 00:20:36,108 --> 00:20:38,490 items 79 is any makeup items that you 581 00:20:38,690 --> 00:20:40,740 haven't worn in the past month makeup is 582 00:20:40,940 --> 00:20:42,658 great only so long as you're actually 583 00:20:42,858 --> 00:20:44,548 using the products that you have alright 584 00:20:44,749 --> 00:20:47,848 number 80 is expired or unused sunscreen 585 00:20:48,048 --> 00:20:50,578 once again sunscreen like many other 586 00:20:50,778 --> 00:20:52,889 items loses its potency once it's 587 00:20:53,089 --> 00:20:55,229 expired and when it comes to protecting 588 00:20:55,429 --> 00:20:56,159 our skin we 589 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,200 really don't want that to happen so just 590 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,119 double check those expiration dates on 591 00:21:00,319 --> 00:21:02,399 your sunscreen number 81 is skin care 592 00:21:02,599 --> 00:21:04,529 products that don't work for your skin 593 00:21:04,730 --> 00:21:07,079 type if you try something thinking that 594 00:21:07,279 --> 00:21:09,089 it might work for you but it happens not 595 00:21:09,289 --> 00:21:10,858 to there's no point in keeping something 596 00:21:11,058 --> 00:21:12,389 that's going to break you out make you 597 00:21:12,589 --> 00:21:14,970 oily or otherwise just not work for your 598 00:21:15,170 --> 00:21:18,119 skin number 82 is exfoliator scrubs and 599 00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:20,460 serums I'm a big believer in less is 600 00:21:20,660 --> 00:21:22,919 more when it comes to skin care find 601 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,139 which products work for you and work 602 00:21:25,339 --> 00:21:27,629 well for you but once you find something 603 00:21:27,829 --> 00:21:30,509 that you like stick to it 83 is broken 604 00:21:30,710 --> 00:21:32,519 bobby pins or hair ties and this is 605 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,769 pretty straightforward if it's broken 606 00:21:34,970 --> 00:21:37,680 it's unusable and so you shouldn't 607 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,779 necessarily have these lying around 84 608 00:21:39,980 --> 00:21:42,719 it is duplicate or broken hair tools and 609 00:21:42,919 --> 00:21:44,700 if you have multiple curling irons maybe 610 00:21:44,900 --> 00:21:47,190 a blow dryer that doesn't work or too 611 00:21:47,390 --> 00:21:48,719 many straightener and figure out what 612 00:21:48,919 --> 00:21:50,639 you actually use and what you need and 613 00:21:50,839 --> 00:21:52,919 you can keep those items and declutter 614 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,379 the rest number 85 is hair products that 615 00:21:55,579 --> 00:21:57,358 don't work for your hair type if you 616 00:21:57,558 --> 00:21:59,430 bought maybe a hair spray or a gel or 617 00:21:59,630 --> 00:22:01,319 mousse thinking that it would work for 618 00:22:01,519 --> 00:22:04,379 your hair but in reality it didn't don't 619 00:22:04,579 --> 00:22:06,509 let that item continue to cause clutter 620 00:22:06,710 --> 00:22:08,969 in your home number 86 is gloopy or 621 00:22:09,169 --> 00:22:10,829 dried-up nail polish trust me on this 622 00:22:11,029 --> 00:22:13,229 one holding onto old nail polish is far 623 00:22:13,429 --> 00:22:16,319 more effort than it's actually worth 87 624 00:22:16,519 --> 00:22:18,479 is funky nail polish colors and if you 625 00:22:18,679 --> 00:22:21,029 have any lime greens or bright blues 626 00:22:21,230 --> 00:22:23,219 chances are you're probably never going 627 00:22:23,419 --> 00:22:25,108 to use those if there are a few nail 628 00:22:25,308 --> 00:22:26,969 polish shades that you like and use 629 00:22:27,169 --> 00:22:29,940 regularly stick to those but don't hold 630 00:22:30,140 --> 00:22:32,129 on to too many of those adventurous nail 631 00:22:32,329 --> 00:22:34,619 polish colors number 88 is soaps or 632 00:22:34,819 --> 00:22:36,299 moisturizers that you don't like the 633 00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:38,009 scent of these are most likely 634 00:22:38,210 --> 00:22:39,899 collecting dust somewhere in your 635 00:22:40,099 --> 00:22:41,969 bathroom cabinet and so rather than 636 00:22:42,169 --> 00:22:44,039 letting them continue to stay there and 637 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,799 act as clutter in your bathroom I'd 638 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,690 recommend passing them on to someone who 639 00:22:48,890 --> 00:22:50,759 can actually use and enjoy them number 640 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,098 89 is travel-sized toiletries or samples 641 00:22:53,298 --> 00:22:55,799 many of us hold on to far more of these 642 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,990 than we realistically can ever use No 643 00:22:59,190 --> 00:23:00,909 how much we travel figure out if there 644 00:23:01,109 --> 00:23:02,019 are any of those items that you're 645 00:23:02,220 --> 00:23:04,509 actually going to use when traveling but 646 00:23:04,710 --> 00:23:06,730 then for the rest either use them up or 647 00:23:06,930 --> 00:23:08,680 get rid of them number 90 is old 648 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,659 toothbrushes and I love the piece of 649 00:23:10,859 --> 00:23:12,490 advice someone gave me once and it's 650 00:23:12,690 --> 00:23:15,849 that you only need two toothbrushes one 651 00:23:16,049 --> 00:23:17,649 for your teeth and one for cleaning 652 00:23:17,849 --> 00:23:20,139 number 91 is old air fresheners and 653 00:23:20,339 --> 00:23:21,609 after a while the scent and air 654 00:23:21,809 --> 00:23:23,589 fresheners tends to go a little bit 655 00:23:23,789 --> 00:23:24,159 funky 656 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:25,480 at which point it's no longer you're 657 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:26,980 actually going to be freshening your air 658 00:23:27,180 --> 00:23:29,049 and it's more of a distraction and a 659 00:23:29,250 --> 00:23:30,430 hindrance than anything else 660 00:23:30,630 --> 00:23:33,009 number 92 is a shower caddy especially 661 00:23:33,210 --> 00:23:34,930 if you tend to bathe in a tub or shower 662 00:23:35,130 --> 00:23:38,079 with built-in ledges consider the fact 663 00:23:38,279 --> 00:23:39,669 that if you reduce the number of 664 00:23:39,869 --> 00:23:42,069 products you use when you shower you 665 00:23:42,269 --> 00:23:43,720 might not actually need to keep your 666 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,210 shower caddy number 93 is threadbare 667 00:23:46,410 --> 00:23:48,879 towels and towels are purely practical 668 00:23:49,079 --> 00:23:51,700 item once they become threadbare they're 669 00:23:51,900 --> 00:23:53,829 no longer able to be effectively used 670 00:23:54,029 --> 00:23:55,779 for the purpose that they were designed 671 00:23:55,980 --> 00:23:58,210 for consider donating them to your local 672 00:23:58,410 --> 00:24:00,490 animal shelter as they're often on the 673 00:24:00,690 --> 00:24:03,039 look out for items like blankets towels 674 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,889 and old sheets that they can use for the 675 00:24:06,089 --> 00:24:08,169 animals along the same lines number 94 676 00:24:08,369 --> 00:24:10,750 is excess towels and washcloths a great 677 00:24:10,950 --> 00:24:12,159 ratio that I found to work well 678 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:13,869 personally is to have one towel and 679 00:24:14,069 --> 00:24:16,119 washcloth for each family member and 680 00:24:16,319 --> 00:24:18,369 possible guests in the house so for 681 00:24:18,569 --> 00:24:20,169 example my husband Christopher and I 682 00:24:20,369 --> 00:24:22,029 live in our house and we can accommodate 683 00:24:22,230 --> 00:24:24,399 up to four guests and so we have six 684 00:24:24,599 --> 00:24:26,559 towels in our home number 95 is 685 00:24:26,759 --> 00:24:28,720 duplicate brushes or combs and if you're 686 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,190 looking to cut down on clutter in the 687 00:24:30,390 --> 00:24:32,230 bathroom getting rid of any duplicates 688 00:24:32,430 --> 00:24:33,579 you have it can be a great place to 689 00:24:33,779 --> 00:24:34,089 start 690 00:24:34,289 --> 00:24:35,980 number 96 those old tweezers and 691 00:24:36,180 --> 00:24:37,990 trimmers once tweezers become dull it 692 00:24:38,190 --> 00:24:40,210 gets really painful to actually remove 693 00:24:40,410 --> 00:24:41,619 the hair that you're attempting to 694 00:24:41,819 --> 00:24:42,940 remove and if that's something you're 695 00:24:43,140 --> 00:24:44,169 running into I would either try 696 00:24:44,369 --> 00:24:46,329 sharpening the tweezers that you have or 697 00:24:46,529 --> 00:24:49,329 replacing them number 97 is old perfume 698 00:24:49,529 --> 00:24:52,059 perfume is designed to smell good but if 699 00:24:52,259 --> 00:24:54,879 your perfume has lost its scent or if 700 00:24:55,079 --> 00:24:56,740 that smell has gone a little bit funny 701 00:24:56,940 --> 00:24:59,259 it's probably time to get rid of it and 702 00:24:59,460 --> 00:25:01,359 the number 98 is perfume or cologne 703 00:25:01,559 --> 00:25:03,279 cents but either don't match your body's 704 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,109 chemistry or simply that you don't like 705 00:25:05,309 --> 00:25:06,169 the smell of at the 706 00:25:06,369 --> 00:25:08,119 if the de perfume is a luxury and it 707 00:25:08,319 --> 00:25:10,309 really isn't necessary so if you're 708 00:25:10,509 --> 00:25:12,470 going to be wearing perfume better be 709 00:25:12,670 --> 00:25:14,960 one that you enjoy and like okay just 710 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,839 two more left here number 99 is body 711 00:25:18,039 --> 00:25:20,210 mist or body sprays although the initial 712 00:25:20,410 --> 00:25:22,970 scent of body mists can often be 713 00:25:23,170 --> 00:25:25,460 pleasant my issue with them is that it 714 00:25:25,660 --> 00:25:28,940 tends to wear off after 15 maybe 30 715 00:25:29,140 --> 00:25:31,940 minutes but it doesn't last and finally 716 00:25:32,140 --> 00:25:34,339 number 100 is unused bathroom cleaning 717 00:25:34,539 --> 00:25:36,889 supplies and maybe you have too many old 718 00:25:37,089 --> 00:25:39,950 rags or toothbrushes or far more liquids 719 00:25:40,150 --> 00:25:42,349 or sprays than you actually need 720 00:25:42,549 --> 00:25:43,940 like I've shared so many times in this 721 00:25:44,140 --> 00:25:46,279 video keep what you need and you use but 722 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:47,869 get rid of the rest all right well we 723 00:25:48,069 --> 00:25:49,789 made
