do you have any spring cleaning or decluttering planned?🌻let me know what you're trying to declutter these days! 👇

You are doing it right. When you are decluttering just declutter and clean after.

Wait this post-it situation is GENIUS!!!!!!

When I did the 30 day, I started at 30 and went backwards.

Have the vacuum out , takes seconds to clean a drawer . I use baby wipes to clean a surface quickly too👍

The Post-It notes idea is a game changer. So motivating seeing them reducing on the wall, and no friction or distraction in marking things off. Just finished my first 465 over 3 weeks 🙂

LMAO decluttering the wine 😂

I suggest inside and outside your refrigerator.

I know it’s too late now but I was staring at the blank wall behind you thinking your rugs would look great hung as a tapestry.

What a great idea to use the post-it notes! 💎

@sparklingdiamondkiwis4390 2 months ago

This is how I handle wanting to dust or wipe down surfaces as I clean:
- Move everything off/out of the space I’m working at
- Clean off the surface of that space (eg. wipe down a drawer)
- Sort through what items I can donate/trash/keep
- Put back the items I want to keep on the newly cleaned surface

@24:42 I think it depends how you are declutterring. If you're doing a big purge and need to keep momentum going, then stopping to clean would disrupt things, but one of the nice things about doing this challenge day by day, would be it gives you more time to tackle things like that without feeling overwhelmed. So maybe later down the line try this again but do it day by day instead of in 48 hours and see how you like doing it that way too.

Can’t wait for part 2. And yes to still posting that old closet declutter 😅

Hi Kate I joined after your project pan videos over the holidays and your recent budget videos are interesting showing how its done in Canada. I hope you can get to your goal! Even if you went through your closet last year for summer clothes, maybe you can do a pass of winter clothes now. I’d also love to see how you organize a small space to make it functional, maybe a closet/storage tour once spring cleaning is done.

I typically clean as i go but thats when im doing room by room. I feel as you're doing the whoke house id stick to just decluttering then go through and deep clean another time
