Watch and do

I’m easily influenced by YouTube videos. It’s a good thing I don’t watch too many, or else I might do crazy things. Instead, I focus on videos that match my goals.

One of my goals is to super-declutter my house in 2021. Reading decluttering books helps me work on this goal, but books can take a while to finish. YouTube videos are quick and motivating.

A declutterer that I follow on Facebook (she developed the “2021 Items Gone in 2021” chart that I love) created a January YouTube playlist with a bunch of other declutter YouTubers. You can find the list of videos here. I watched them all in one morning and then removed more than 100 items from my house in the afternoon. Score!!

This week’s playlist is about decluttering the kitchen, but I didn’t do anything in my kitchen. I share the kitchen, and Hubby has strong opinions about what needs to stay in that room. I decluttered my craft binders and a shadow box instead. I also looked inside a random box that was sitting on a high shelf. It turned out to be filled with binders. Gone!

As you can tell, decluttering makes me happy. If it makes you happy, but you need a little motivation, check out this YouTube playlist. These declutterers are doing a different topic each week in January. I look forward to reaching my decluttering goal.
