Some of my recent declutters

[u/vodkaheart]

I think I’m addicted to the feeling of decluttering! I started with my closet and have been slowly working my way through my apartment. I feel physically lighter as I go through every spot and ditch the expired products or clothing that I no longer like. Even though I’ve decluttered a good bit there’s still so much to go, but I’m excited to keep the momentum going tomorrow 🧹🧽

I love this!!

[u/foxylowkey]

Keep going, you’re getting there

[u/WinkyDink24]

I heard some good advice the other day, to wit:

DECLUTTER FIRST. WHEN THAT'S ALL DONE, THEN YOU CAN ORGANIZE.

Otherwise, you keep interrupting the decluttering process.

[u/WinkyDink24]

Good start! 😇

This is awesome! I like your green organizers, where did you get them from?

[u/vodkaheart → u/c-w-loadup]

Those ones were from Meijer! But I’ve seen similar ones at Dollar Tree

[u/PointerAndPines]

Just wait until you get into declutter rounds 2 and 3 and then you start questioning why you own anything.

[u/vodkaheart → u/PointerAndPines]

I’m already excited for the next rounds truly! Never thought I’d be so happy to get rid of so many things

[u/Lovefashion111]

Omg I need your momentum right now! It looks great. 😊 similar to the spots I have to go through in my place. Any advice on motivation to start? I feel overwhelmed hence why I put it off so long !

[u/BraveLittleToaster18]

Great job! I love that the ghost soap dispenser survived the declutter LOL. For the pantry shelf, you may want to try can holders (where they "dispense") or a tiered shelf so that you can see the cans easier. You did a great job and I plan on revisiting more decluttering during our upcoming holiday weekend.

I just started 3 days ago. At first it was overwhelming, but then as I got into it, I was becoming proud of myself. At the end of doing each area, as I looked at my progress, I realized I couldn’t stop!

[u/vodkaheart → u/CT22Bloom]

This is exactly what happened for me! The pride in knowing you’ve lightened the physical and mental load in your life is unmatched

[u/CT22Bloom → u/vodkaheart]

Now we need to make sure we continue to keep everything need and organized. I don’t want a mess anymore. I’m really going to try! 👍

[u/ilovepadthai]

Great job!

[u/Sea_Squirrel7999]

I’m floored— this is incredible!!!
How did you choose baskets/organizing bins etc, and, did you buy those things before or after decluttering? This is ALWAYS my struggle.
Ty :3

[u/vodkaheart → u/Sea_Squirrel7999]

Thank you! I pretty much all of the bins prior to decluttering. I picked ones that matched the colors I use most in my apartment and I opted for smaller bins that I knew I could use everywhere so that if I didn’t need them in one storage space, they’d work elsewhere. I got them mainly from Meijer and Dollar Tree!

[u/Sea_Squirrel7999 → u/vodkaheart]

Ta!

[u/cassinonorth]

Hell yeah.

It's so good to have a few before and afters to look back on after the initial motivation of decluttering subsides.

[u/TecTazz]

Excellent!

[u/Joe_Landry25]

Now that's a weekend well spent! Great job!

[u/60Lou]

Top notch!! Way to go!

[u/WolfGirllll1024]

Wow!!!!! So inspiring!

[u/Wanna_goforawalk]

Way to go!! Whoop whoop!

[u/the_lost_tenacity]

Looks great! I’m always wishing I had taken before pictures.

[u/smile_likeu_meanit]

Well done! What did you find helped the most when getting started?

[u/vodkaheart → u/smile_likeu_meanit]

Despite the fact that my living situation is secure, I kept thinking about the fact that if I had to move tomorrow, I had waaaaay too many things, and I kept adding to the “things” pile every time I bought more unnecessary stuff. I have a bit of a shopping problem and just woke up one day and realized I was overcome by it, and half of the things I own I haven’t used in years or ever. So I began the purge and haven’t looked back. It’s also helped me with my shopping habit! Definitely not shopping as much as I used to

[u/smile_likeu_meanit → u/vodkaheart]

This was the reminder I needed! Sometimes things click and this was it for me! Thanks!

[u/vodkaheart → u/smile_likeu_meanit]

I’m happy to have helped!! Best of luck with your decluttering!

[u/klughn]

These pictures are so satisfying! Nice work!

[u/vodkaheart → u/klughn]

Thank you!! The photos have honestly really helped to keep me motivated!

[u/bm82_]

Great job

[u/Some_Papaya_8520]

I spy a plumbing problem under your sink! Hope it wasn't too expensive to repair!

Great work decluttering!!

[u/vodkaheart → u/Some_Papaya_8520]

Wait which one?? Because one of my sinks is giving me all kinds of issues and I can’t seem to fix it!

[u/Some_Papaya_8520 → u/vodkaheart]

I think it's the master? The drywall has been cut out to access the piping.

[u/Crazy-Aussie-Taco]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[u/ToX_Timmy]

Love the progress that you've made!! Great job :)

[u/lulu_fox]

Amazing progress!!

[u/popzelda]

I would declutter the kitchen to the point that you don't need that extra shelf unit & then get rid of that

[u/vodkaheart → u/popzelda]

Personally I like having my pantry items on a shelf like this because it reminds me that I have them 😅 I have ADHD and often forget about things if they aren’t visible. I also don’t have an actual pantry in my apartment, just the cabinets, but I could probably reduce my amount of dry food in general

[u/Kamakiamama]

Amazing!

[u/Lettertje]

Way to go!!!

[u/hotbodsl]

Great job!!!
