Minimalism-This Uncluttered Course is Worth Joining!


I have definitely taken a set back on my minimalism journey. Since my return to work, my OCD symptoms, anxiety, and depression have skyrocketed. I had to make going back to therapy a priority, even if it means missing an hour of work every other week. I also see my primary again in two weeks since I'm on a seven month waiting list to see a psychiatrist (Seven more months of this? No thanks.)

Though I wasn't able to participate as much as I wanted to on each week's lesson, I think the Uncluttered Course is definitely worth joining. Each lesson is unlocked week by week, but I think it's better to do it that way so you have to focus on one step at a time, especially if you have hoarding tendencies or have anxiety about the act of getting rid of your stuff. Everyone is on the same lesson and you're not doing it alone. The lesson may seem a little pricey, but there is a 20% discount code that's usually posted on Facebook right before the sign up deadline. I was very hesitant because I did pay for two other decluttering courses that I just felt weren't worth it. I was worried this would be the exact same. What makes it different is the unlocking of lessons week by week and the support group. Everyone in that group is so supportive!

Once you sign up for the course, you can request to join the Facebook support group. There is such positivity present there. It is also inspiring so see everyone's stories. People post about getting rid of things that are so difficult to part with. The group lets them know they are not alone, that they've done a great job. For me, it makes me think that I CAN do this. That I am not the only one who struggles, and keeping in mind that life is more than "stuff."

I may have flopped this go round, but once you sign up for the course you can take it over and over again.

Again, the support is the biggest plus. I tried meeting people here and tried to get people I know to try minimalism with me, but this course guarantees you won't be alone.

(I'm not paid or given anything to promote this course. I'm not anyone important or who has followers or things like that. Just hoping to help someone out there who struggles.)

Makeup Declutter-Why It's Important to Take Pictures!

I'm sure everyone else who is decluttering has already been doing this, but I wish I would have taken before and after pictures of my progress! Sometimes I feel like decluttering is like losing weight; sometimes you can't see your progress and it can become discouraging. I've been decluttering and minimizing for a year now, and some days I feel like my house looks the same. But I know that I have come a long way! I wish I would've taken a photo of our crazy then office with all of the papers that were hoarded in that room. It's now my baby's room and is quite clear. I would love to compare the two though! I was feeling like I could minimize my makeup some more, because it still feels like too much. So I tried to remind myself that I've come a long way. I still had my containers that used to hold my makeup, so I put the two I emptied out next to my makeup bag. I could see that I did clear out a lot of makeup! It's reassuring to see, but I plan on ...

Pantry Decluttering

I decluttered the pantry before Christmas and am determined to keep it clutter free throughout the year. To save money we only buy what we will eat immediately during the week. We make sure to eat practically everything we have in the house before we go out for groceries again. This leaves our pantry looking bare at times, but it still manages to get full of other clutter. The pantry was mostly cluttered this time around with plastic bags that were accumulating to be recycled. Here is our pantry before the recent decluttering: Our pantry looks pretty messy, but it's not as bad as our first declutter last year. Again, our biggest problem was the plastic bags that had been collecting for recycling. I own reusable grocery bags, but sometimes we buy groceries when we haven't been able to stop home for them. Hence, why we have some plastic bags in our pantry taking up space. We recycled those bags and I got my reusable bags organized and ready to take out.  We also had p...

We own our car! Paid it off three years early!

Last May, when we lined up all of our debt, we had about $18,000 left to pay on our car. This was our largest debt, aside from the house, that we needed to pay off. Now, a year and a half later, we have finally paid our car off! I submitted the payment  from a different bank account with the payoff amount, but since it took a few days to process, 11 cents in interest was added. I am proud to say that I transferred that 11 cents from my checking on that account and paid the car off today!  I have learned from this car experience to NEVER buy new again! I didn't know that car value drops as soon as you leave the lot. Also, we paid so much in interest the last four years, we definitely overpaid for this car than we needed to. Lesson learned!  We only have one more debt left, my teen's braces with the remaining cost of $700, and then we will only have a mortgage payment!
