02.43: Can we donate holiday and seasonal items any time of year, or is it better to wait and donate them close to the holiday season?
04.52: Do you have any organization tips for a group? I volunteer at a charity and we have a hard time keeping things organized. It has to be as easy to put back than it is to leave out, anything else?
09.07: What do you do if you have trouble organizing paperwork, clothes etc.
12.13: What is the course like? What does it cover?
13.21: When we talk about 5 minute pickups. How many of these per day are reasonable? I feel like I have to do at least one 5 minute pickup per hour to keep things manageable.
18.27: My brain says I need this. How do I let it go? It's access clutter.
23.50: How do you stop the incoming once you've decluttered and feel like you need to fill that space again. I feel like "oh, I decluttered now I can get more stuff"
28.14: Have you decluttered to only a few face cleaning products?
33.41: I want to help my mother in law who is somewhat of a hoarder. I want to gently and lovingly help her with her house.
36.05: I'm having a hard time decluttering more clothes from my closet. I know I haven't worn them, but, I keep thinking what if we start going back to meeting a lot of people again( before covid) then I would need them. Should I keep them or get rid of them?
38.06: How long is the take your house back course?
38.55: My household went from 2 to 6 over last summer. I still haven't gotten a rhythm and it's still overwhelming trying to get everyone on the same page. Hope you can give some guidance.
41.20: I moved to a new place after my parents died and then had a stroke and everything is everywhere and I have no help. How can I do this with mobility issues and depression and grief.
44.20: What do you say about tackling dirty jobs (like the dusty garage) but only having minutes at the time?
45.40: I'm working on a room I wish was waist deep, I'm focusing on trash and easy stuff, everything else I put into bags or boxes to go through later, is this correct or am I stuff shifting?
47.29: Any tips for managing grown children's things they want you to keep that are filling up storage spaces in a very small house?
49.43: 3yo and 4yo share room. They did great with trash/ easy stuff. We got to no room, which do you want to declutter? They wouldn't agree and anything that left one would have a meltdown. Any tips?
51.14: Will you do more of the decluttering deep dives? Also when will you be able to tell us more about your new book?
52.52: I got a new comforter and it's huge. I would have to get rid of all sheets and towels to make it fit where I'd look.
54.14: Four years ago we went from a 4bdr ranch with a 2 car garage to a 2bdr apartment with an attached one car garage. Is your course geared more towards a house or can it help me?
54.38: I already watched you, Cas and Dawn all the time, and I feel like I have some good momentum going on decluttering my house. Do you think it makes sense for me to still do Take Your House Back?
55.58: What would you recommend for someone who knows they will be moving in the next year but doesn't know if it is in 3 months or 12 months?
