- Why this always starts in
my bathroom, I don't know.
But I am gonna have myself
a little packing party.
If you don't know what a packing party is,
I'll put some links in
the description below.
You can also check out
our blog and subscribe for
an intro to minimalism
and getting started.
And so basically, what I'm gonna do is
I'm gonna take everything that I don't use
on a daily basis and pack it
up in boxes and set it aside.
It's just a good way to clear space
and see what it is that we really need
and how long we can go for
with the stuff that
we're not really using.
So let's get started.
So basically what I'm doing is
I'm starting by putting each room
into a specific box.
So, since I'm in the bathroom,
I'm gonna be putting a
bunch of bathroom stuff
into the bathroom box, so
I know where to find it
if I need anything.
And that way, also,
everything stays organized
and put together.
(upbeat music)
So, this is everything
extra that I've put away,
and this is what it
makes my place look like.
So this is the cabinet.
This is our toothbrush drawer.
Hairbrush drawer.
Bret's razor and some consumables.
And then, under our sink.
Things look amazing already,
and here are my boxes.
I did bathroom.
These are my leftover
clothes that I minimized
when I did project 333.
This is kids' toys that we are rotating.
One of you guys mentioned splitting
half of the toys and rotating them
when they get bored,
and I thought that was amazing,
so I've taken half of
their stuffed animals,
half of their dolls,
half of their coloring items, et cetera,
placed them in here, and then
we're gonna try rotating them.
And then, for my own room, I had
all this stuff that was extra.
So, it's one of those things
where you don't really
notice it on the outside,
like, things look great,
but then when you open drawers and stuff
and things look empty,
it just feels so amazing, because all
this stuff literally doesn't get used.
It just sits there and
clutters everything up.
So what I'm gonna do is
I'm gonna take these boxes
and I'm gonna take them,
maybe put them in the garage
or store them in the storage closet,
and just bask in this amazingness.
I mean, look at my counter.
That is so amazing.
It feels so good to know
that just what I use
is right here, what we use is right here.
So again, if you guys
have any more questions
or information, I put some links below
in some of the areas that
I love studying minimalism.
Also, check out our website.
We blog a lot about this,
and we have such free,
amazing value information
that we've spent hours
putting together on there.
So, thanks for watching.
Let me know in the comments
below what you guys do
to stay on track and to stay
free and clear from clutter.
And yeah, I'll see you guys next time.
