01.54: How do you develop routines when everything around keeps changing?
11.51: My elderly neighbor lady gives my kids every toy that has ever been created. How do I tell my sweet neighbor that enough is enough. It is really putting stain on my relationship with her.
19.56: My parents will be moving in with us. Any advice on how to tell my father that he needs to keep things to a minimum? I know he can Tetris his stuff pretty well.
23.25: I think this is covered in your books where you talk about grieving who you used to be. I feel like, if I ever get around to decluttering, If I have to declutter all my craft things, what will I be?
29.15: What is the best way to down size/go through Christmas stuff? Do you take on the job before, during or after a holiday season?
35.17: ???how do you keep calm + consistent doing the dishes, cleaning, and decluttering is incredibly draining, and you live with someone who cant clean due to mental illness? Do you ever feel overwhelmed?
39.26: ??? Still struggling with letting go of clothes bc of what ifs My space stresses me out bc of the size of the closet. I know I don't wear many of them but am paralyzed to purge.
40.57: It takes 20 min on a timer to UNLOAD my dishwasher. Longer than I thought it would.
42.04: How many times did you have to restart declutttering before you got to where you are today with your house? It seems to be my issue.
44.56: ? does anyone else "rage purge?" I got so frustrated yesterday i started throwing away a lot of things
45.08: ?? what do you do if you're done an extreme declutter of kids toys and gotten everything to easily fit in a designated space and still can't keep up with the mess? down to faves already?
48.13: One laundry day per week. Then, after one successful month, I am gardening a few morning hrs, then coming in to shower off chiggers and ticks. I cannot wear these clothes again. So close to running out of gardening worthy clothing. Any suggestions?
51.11: ???? over 5,000 items decluttered in the last year, but house still feels like I haven't even made a dent in it. So overwhelmed, how do I keep myself motivated to keep going????
52.56: Question: I struggle with putting things away because I don’t want to mix in anything “dirty” in a clean container or shelf. It really slows me down having to wetwipe things and let dry. Any advice?
54.37: ??? My kitchen It is very small,12m². The Countertop is full of stuff. My Husband is the main cook for my family of 6, he dont whant to change. I clean the most and use this room too for my daycare.??
58.41: ?? moving to Japan (hot/humid weather. Should I buy new clothes before I go? Grab a few pieces/try to find stuff there? Or just try to cover my body until I get there and then buy stuff that works?
