I love this trio. I am a single father of 3 girls. 2 are age 9 and 1 is 7. Before kids I was so organized but now I  feel like I am drowning. Been watching you 3 for about 2 weeks now and it has helped motivate me to declutter and clean. My house has improved by leaps and bounds because of you three cute ladies. I already feel like I am taking my house back and am definitely going to pay for this course. Just wanted you to know you guys are helping a single dad and his girls. Keep up the good work.

When I downsized, I found a pile of cloth napkins, and decided that I needed to either use them or get rid of them.  Now I feel so special every day, using cloth napkins, never buying paper napkins, and it’s easy to throw a few extra pieces of cloth in the regular laundry.

I love the “5 minutes matters”  because it gets me started

I was just watching this and I am also a recovered slob. We moved into a new home last March. I ruthlessly purged then. My son is 10 and has adhd and autism spectrum disorder. I find it works best for him to bring a container and tell him the rules unequivocally are broken toys go in the trash and he can keep whatever he wants but it has to fit in the identified bin. I also gave him an additional smaller bin for the items in his obsession category. I also remind him we are donating his wonderful toys to other children who could enjoy them. So far this works well with him.

“Only decluttering adds more space”. Lightbulb moment! 💥💡👍🏻

I just started Dana’s 30 day plan and this is day 4.  I’m sitting at a clean kitchen table, with clean dishes in the dishwasher and a sense of peace to go with my coffee.  What a blessing

Don't get rid of kids stuff behind their backs. It will backfire. The main reason I'm a pack-rat as an adult is because when I was a kid my mother went into our rooms while we were at school and threw away lots of stuff, she threw away all my "treasures", little cardboard houses I built for my mini dolls, toys I was still attached to, stuff that I thought was pretty or interesting, etc. Even now, I totally freak out if someone gets rid of my stuff behind my back. 3 of the 4 of us siblings became pack-rats because of this. Declutter kids stuff with their involvement only.

Wow. The fact that you designed a course and mentioned parents with special needs and people with ADHD etc meant the world to me. I have a child with autism and pursing and think I have ADHD myself. I’m part of several fb groups and adults with ADHD and Autism struggle so much with tasks like these. I’ll definitely mention this course!

"Declutter before organizing" and "shop your stuff" are helpful tips for me. Thank you.

I know I’m a whole year late and it’s also March but I just decided my word for this year will be BETTER. Better mom, better wife, better house, better Christian. Not BEST but BETTER!❤️

Thank you all 3 of you, you are such a wonderful support to us all out here.
I have made always doing all dishes before going to bed, and I have actually been doing it for 2 yrs now!
Like Dana said it really does make a big difference.
For 2021 I am going to make “5 minutes matters” my go to support .

Yes to dishes every day! That’s my secret to a clean kitchen. And, I don’t have to debate whether I need to run the dishwasher. I just do. One less decision in my day

Today I swept all the floors and rugs downstairs in my house and then, wonder of wonders, I steam mopped the wood floors and baseboards. Before I decluttered it might take me a day for each room. To be honest, I’d be done in after one room.
I think it took me about 20 minutes in total because I barely need to move anything around to clean anymore, all thanks to decluttering.

Thank you, Ladies. After 5 years of having my grandma’s china hutch in my house, including all of the things that she had in the drawers, I cleaned out one drawer and two cabinets! I have five more drawers and two cabinets left, but I’m excited. I’m gonna try to get those done this weekend.

For relatives that want to give gifts  maybe you could suggest a idea like my SIL did for my boys. On Christmas and Birthdays she would put money in a savings account...she had the little bank books and at Christmas time she would log the interest that the account had gained that year and she would wrap the bank book with a candy bar or a little ornament and that is what they would unwrap for Christmas. When they graduated high school she would cash out the account and would give it to them at their graduation. No clutter and a nice way to save them some money. :)

Three ladies that motivated me and some others on utube , to declutter and start living a minimalist life style. I fit in so many categories. I have several autoimmune diseases so when I have a lot of energy I just go for hours .But now I know better to take breaks .Also I'm a single mom to adult kids , one with special needs, so my life is nuts .I'm about to become a grandmother for the first time this summer. My son and his fiance live with me also. Trying to find room for everything and everyone sometimes gets nuts , in a 2 bedroom. Thank goodness we have a huge hall.closet. some what walk in .I let go of all my kitchen stuff, tablecloths ect ...My daughter likes when I decorate so I keep one for every holiday but they're plastic so easy to store .I let at least 60 % of my clothes go .I feel so much better, and my head feels clear as I have ADD .Let all my costume jewelry go except about 10 peices.

I really like the ‘5 minutes’ message. Another comment Dawn made a few months ago is ‘Do something today you will be glad you did tomorrow.’ That thought has come to my mind frequently, and helped me push through, when I would tend to procrastinate and put something off for ‘later.’

“Five Minutes Matters” did so much for me

Yes! The 5 minute deal is sooooo worth it! I didn't realize it, but I've started the habit of tidying my home for 5 min when I first wake up every day. Doing it at bedtime doesn't work for me because it makes my brain start working too much and then I become "unsleepy" for bedtime. But 5 min before I do ANYTHING else in the morning has been amazing! Really gets me energized to face the day! And to Dawn-- I've been telling myself I'm a tidy person EVERY day... and it DOES work to motivate me and encourage myself! I love now encouragingly myself instead of the years I spent discouraging myself. Let's do this, 2021!!!

The 3 of you really do complement each other so well!
