How to Declutter Before Moving | Decluttered over 50% | Minimalism Journey ❤️

[Music] one of the hardest parts about moving is dealing with all the stuff that you didn't know that you had what if you could declutter all of those items and make your move so much easier this project was so satisfying I was able to help my friend get rid of over half of the items that she owned as she prepared to move and she had to fit every single item that she owned in her car we went through every single one of her items and were able to eliminate a lot of the Clutter that she owned and just keep her favorite items [Music] thank you one of the things that will help keep you on track and help keep you motivated is visualizing your outcome the outcome that you want and remembering why you are doing this so if one of the main reasons you are doing this is to make it so that your move is a lot easier and trying to free up items that you no longer need and that you don't want to clutter up your next home and just make it so that you can be freed from those items from your past to be able to open up space for a new life ahead of you it just makes it a lot easier to be able to let go of items because you want to be able to have a nice open Future and let go of just the stuff that you no longer need foreign [Music] your journey as you declutter your house and get ready for the new future ahead of you is be realistic and realize that we only have so much time on this Earth and tomorrow is never promised and so holding on to things for our someday is not going to really help us towards the future that we need to be looking forward to so just letting go of stuff that we haven't been using will make it a lot easier to be able to have time have energy for the things that we do want to do and how we want to spend our time and we'll just make it so much easier to be able to enjoy our day-to-day life [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] one question that can be super helpful when you are decluttering is using the use it or lose it and thinking about a certain amount of time that works for you so it may be a year and if you haven't used the item in the last year let it go there may be one or two things but try not to make any exceptions aside from maybe one or two things and let go of it you will see so much space cleared up when you actually let go of those items [Music] thank you [Music] another great motivator is setting goals what do you want your home to look like and then setting goals that will help you accomplish that so maybe you want more space in your closet maybe your goal is to let go of 50 of what you own in your closet and it just makes it so much easier to be able to attain those goals when you actually have something that you're aiming for foreign [Music] I love this quote by Benjamin Franklin for every minute spent organizing an hour is earned and when you realize that and you kind of put it into perspective when you organize you have more time earned because a lot of times it's really easy to lose things especially if you have a lot of stuff and when you realize that when you get your house in order you have more time because it's easier to find things it makes it a lot easier to let go of more because then it's easier to find the things that are special to you and it's not drowning in all of this clutter [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] I would love to know in the comments down below what has been the easiest group of items for you to declutter and what has been the hardest group of items for you as you have decluttered and whether or not you are moving or just maintaining your home I would just love to know where you are on your journey it's super fun to be able to encourage each other and to be able to help each other along and to be able to hear success stories [Music] foreign [Music] if you struggle with decluttering definitely get a friend or a family member that you trust to help you declutter and just cheer you on and it just makes it so much easier and so much more fun especially because decluttering can be a very daunting overwhelming task and when you have someone there that you can just laugh with and who can help hold you accountable it just makes this process so much easier good [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] look at how much we were able to declutter it is so freeing and it's going to be so much easier for her and her move not trying to juggle all this stuff and trying to make hard decisions we were able to just go through everything be Cutthroat and now she has so much more freedom load up the stuff get out of your house and I hope to see you guys next week's video bye for more motivation to take control of your space watch my decluttering playlist and also don't forget to subscribe if you'd like to see more videos like this and you can also follow me on Instagram and I'll see you guys next time bye
