It’s time to declutter my home again, and I hope making this video will keep me accountable and inspire you to get some decluttering and organizing done in your home as well.

For me, getting rid of clutter means less to clean, less to organize, and less stress. It also means more energy, more money, and more time.

I was raised in a Slavic household during a time when people rarely got rid of things. When items such as clothing, household goods, and appliances were difficult to get, you held onto them as long as possible. Even if they were worn out or no longer needed. That was due to scarcity.

So when I was a child, it was typical for people around me to hoard things. At the same time, there was stuff people never used or used only several times a year because it was considered too valuable to be used frequently. My grandma, for instance, had a set of dinnerware that we only used on New Year’s Eve. It was forbidden to touch it on any other day.

It’s no wonder why now I intentionally focus on having only those things that truly brings me joy. To achieve that, decluttering is a must.

I’ll share my top 5 decluttering strategies that have finally helped me escape hoarding. I hope you’ll find them helpful. Enjoy:)
