I tried "Swedish death cleaning" and it worked

Fear not, this is the secret trick you can use to simplify and organize your home. Hi, I'm Kathryn from Make It on a Dime and I make tons of organizing videos online. I think anyone can get organized on a budget, so if I feel like you're struggling to simplify. I made this video for you. We're going to talk about the three main components of Swedish deep

that totally changed the way I declutter my house and I hope they help you too. If there's one thing I've learned over the years, everything you own owns a part of you, ah, all my simplifications have been produced for public consumption over the last decade and I've learned a ton for more radical honesty here , so what Swedish

Cleaning is the act of unloading your stuff so that you don't continue the cycle of clutter one day when you're no longer here, your stuff isn't anyone else's problem and I don't know about you, but I want to experience that. Right now I don't want clutter to be my problem either and I want you to know that you are not alone and that sometimes that clutter starts to appear so slowly and gradually that you don't even realize that it is starting to overwhelm you. They seemed like better days, there's a great book on Swedish

death

cleansing written by Margueretta Magnussen and I'll link it below and she believes that we keep things for three basic reasons and these are really inspiring ways to get rid of the things that we don't.

The first thing you need is your hoarding instinct. I guarantee you have been a victim of 2k kitchens and kids, those are the places where we tend to keep things in large quantities and even duplicates of items. Our family goal is for no space to take up more than five minutes so anyone can order if more than that is needed, things have to go and here are some unique mindsets to keep you on track. A great question to ask yourself that a viewer told me is whether the item you are looking to order. It was covered in red wine, how hard would you try to save it?

It's a very liberating question and oh man, it helped me get rid of a lot of extra stuff. It really helps me think about the extra time I'm going to have. On the day, another child will be able to use this toy and the time I will spend with my children because I am not trying to manage all of their things this year. Simple is the new happiness. The second reason we endure. things is our instinct for disorder, we like to live in a space of abundance and I think it's because it makes us feel more in control having many options, at least it does for me, but what really happens is that you end up feeling overwhelmed and dissatisfied. because you don't even know where to start after this spatula and the next spatula and then the two spatulas after that, we only have three spatulas left.

My word for 2021 is freedom, so we really committed to that this year in the kitchen at the time I've been waiting for us to be decluttering a cabinet. I have two of everything. I've never made two meat loaves at the same time, so this may be tragic. Do you know how many times I use this once we have all these dishes that your mom? I used to watch Christmas I've had them for two years and I've never used them Look at all that stuff Look at all that stuff I wonder how many calories you burn Declutter your house because I was made to be free I have We had them in our cabinet for 10 years and never used them We have drunk.

It's time to let them go. I am made to be free. These goodbyes were very necessary and worth it. The third reason we cling to things is our fear of death. and this is where the cycle of disorder comes into play, many of these things are things that are hidden, we are not using them and they are those sentimental items that are very difficult to get rid of, I don't use them, they did. Neither and can we vent about those things oh yes I stopped dead this is a note from my great grandmother that I haven't read in years dear Catherine, although you are only 13 while I am packing these dishes I just want to be sure that you will have them remember me when you use them.

I feel like sometimes we can see that decluttering is just getting rid of things, but for a lot of people, including myself, I'm a very sensitive person. There's a lot of emotional attachment to things, especially if you've walked through life, having to say goodbye to a lot of people you love can be really overwhelming, but one of the bowls she gave me is this one and we keep it in our kitchen every day. I just love it and have never used the teacups and I'm going to take those words at their full meaning and hope this frees up someone else who maybe feels the same way, think of me while you use them.

One item is a better, truer reminder of my great-grandmother than all of those things combined, so I will keep it and allow that incredible gift to be a blessing to someone else and I am so grateful for her in my life. I have received so many messages from people recently saying that they have so many clothes and personal possessions from their loved ones. Something we did was take my brother's clothes and my mother-in-law sewed her favorite shirts into this teddy bear and I love it. a lot and really on my own schedule she gave me the freedom to let go of a lot of his clothes and something like this is a beautiful reminder of him for me that I can really enjoy.

I also want to remind you that you are not a failure sometimes these things take time and don't let anyone else rush you in or out when you are ready for it, you will because deep down in your heart you really know where the memories are, without no matter where you are, those little things. Absolutely a great victory. I have shared with you years of organizing this channel and I am still working on it. Am I so glad that you are here today if no one has told you that you are enough and I can't wait to see you? next video, bye, he's back, he's a ninja, look, we have a budding artist on our hands, we don't even need half of these books.

What else forces you to clean and you are going to help me tidy, how are you? I'm going to help you
