  I moved from a 1,100ish sq ft, 3 bed, 1 bath house into a 3,400 sq ft, 6 bed, 4 bath house. I have a family of 6, with little babies. It takes me forever to clean! But I've gotten a routine the last month that is helping. I clean one level (it's 2.5 floors) one week, then the next week I do the other. Mondays are bathrooms, Tuesday floors, Wednesday dusting, Thursday cleaning the basement playroom (a weekly task to stay on top of it!). I'm a ladybug, husband is a bee, kids are butterflies. I've been minimizing for 2ish years and our house is starting to feel easier! I was even able to help my mom yesterday declutter an entire room.

  Cas is LITERALLY saving my marriage. <br><br>She’s saving me money. <br>She’s saved my art classroom (and my sanity). <br><br>I’m a cool cat in real life. Do some cool stuff. Always learning. Always growing. Didn’t think a random (why was it even recommended?!?!) YouTube video would change my world. Totally did. I owe her. Big time. ❤❤🎉🎉🎉

  Hi Cass, &nbsp;this video I am listening to is the best one for me. &nbsp;It makes sense that everything needs a home. &nbsp;I am 70 yrs old and my husband is 80. We don&apos;t have a home and we are living in our married son home. &nbsp;Since covid 2020 we were living in Az on our own but got so sick we almost didn&apos;t make it. &nbsp;Our children lived in Calif and called 911 on us to be taken to the hospital. &nbsp;Since we survived by the grace of God, our Sons both &nbsp;came pack us up with two huge moving trucks and put our stuff in 2 huge storages except for our clothes and our bedroom furniture. &nbsp;Of course they gave away our food so not to store that stuff. &nbsp; We live in a one 11x11 bedroom and very small bathroom. &nbsp; My husband is disabled veteran and has a lot of medical stuff. &nbsp;I have his 3 container slid out drawers under his side of the bed. &nbsp;And I have 3 under my side of the bed. &nbsp;Plus one bookshelf on my side and one night stand on my husband side. Across from the foot of the bed against the wall. One desk, one tall 6 drawer dresser, plus 4 shelf plastic stand with doors. &nbsp;One standing light. &nbsp;Our closet is full to the brim. &nbsp;<br>I been doing you 5 mins a day with you everyday and I am loving it. &nbsp;Got rid of 4 bags of clothes plus several bags/ purses I&apos;m not using. &nbsp; Clean out dresser drawers. &nbsp;<br>Thank you for this lesson because I am going to work &nbsp;cleaning &nbsp;out my storages. &nbsp; Thank you again. &nbsp;I will complete my 30 days 5 min a day with you. &nbsp;You are a blessing. ❤️🤗

  I was watching this in my craft room and hubby came in to use the metal ruler. He stayed for a few minutes while he did what he needed to do and before he left, he said to me “that sounds like our home”🙌🙌🙌<br>It is 💯 true what you’ve said in this video. We did this in 2020. <br><br>We had so much that we weren’t using( we’ve been married since 1997) Hubby thinks we got rid of about 80% of our stuff and we miss none of it. Our home is so effortless to clean. It took about 10 months of me nagging my family to put things away and not down back in 2020….and it was worth all the trouble. Our routine is second nature now. <br>Great video Cas🩵

  I ended up with a Walmart bag of broken crayons. Wow! <br>While listening I am washing and sanitizing canning jars that I had no idea even existed in the garage. Sad, &nbsp;I don&apos;t know what I own or where to find things I know I own. <br>I am determined to change and adopt the mantra and get things zoned.<br>It feels like I will never get there. I do cry a lot. I want a clean and tidy home so badly. I dry up the tears and try again over and over.

  I hestatingly opened this ,because I was too bored during washing the dishes, and had nothing to listen to. I thought Cass cant have anything new to tell me, but man, &nbsp;I cleaned up waaay more than I hoped to , I was too lazy to start. As I was listening, I got red of that extra 7yr birthday candle I bought for my daughter&apos;s birthday, and an old candy I know I will never eat. Sometimes we need a reminder that a clean home is way more important than worryong about minor stuff like that.

  I heard that the biggest shelf in your house is the floor. &nbsp;So true.

  My Dad passed away last Christmas and My Mom is in a nursing home due to having dementia. &nbsp;I am cleaning out their house and My Sister is allowing us to take what we want because she doesn’t want to have an auction. &nbsp;She wants to sell the house and put the money towards Mom’s care with the nursing home. &nbsp;So I work 40 hours per week, spend one day or two days at our parents home on weekends and trying to take care of my home. &nbsp;I am so grateful for this experience because I am going to declutter and start the habits you talk about. &nbsp;Thank you.

  Totally agree with you. &nbsp; My rule is to deal with everything immediately. &nbsp; Takes a few extra seconds but my house feels peaceful and can be cleaned in less than 1 hour. &nbsp;Gerrie

  Although I have extreme low back pain I force myself to clean immediately after using anything and short term projects get tidied up partially but easy to get right back to it bc if I completely pack it up it will be too much friction to get started ..but only 1 project at a time ! Love hot lava concept !

  I&apos;ve been decluttering all week with Cass and the Minimal Mom in my ears. Feeling so much more hopeful that I will actually start cleaning more regularly now that I am reducing surface items. Probably the hardest part, to be honest but I&apos;ve donated a tonne, sold a couple of items on eBay and trashed more useless bits and bobs than I thought possible from my tiny one bed flat. Thank you so much Cass - you have kept my dishes done, most evenings! 🤩

  I love that you included the floor as a hot lava flat surface. &nbsp;I need to adopt that idea. My floor is holding various pieces of mail, miscellaneous objects that need to be put away (like last season’s decor. Actually, let me be honest. It’s June, and there are rolled up Christmas throw rugs, and a set of small metal Christmas trees), sofa covered with clean clothes, full laundry basket on the floor, stuff to be donated. Every other flat surface is covered. <br>You are SO right!! I have way too much stuff. I’m such a butterfly that I can’t fly straight. &nbsp;My learning style is abstract random. I’m bouncing off the walls. I don’t put things away. That and having too much stuff is my main problem. <br>I love that you are willing to share your wisdom. ❤❤❤
