  Dawn! Can’t wait to watch this video. I work in the mental health field and have been recommending a more simplified home to my patients more and more lately. The link between clutter and stress is undeniable. Thanks for all you do!

  I use the hack that if it takes less than a minute, do it right now. For example: taking out trash, putting away coats, washing a dish, filing some papers, etc. It prevents little tasks from building up in our house.

  Thank you so much for this video. I was sitting in my apartment feeling so overwhelmed, that I felt paralyzed to do anything. The 5 minutes, you suggested, turned into 2 hours of solid cleaning!

  Do not forget the guys! I watch your videos and have used these techniques in my home. &nbsp;Sometimes to my wife&apos;s chagrin. &nbsp;However, she is coming around to the notion that a clutter free home is a good thing.

  Oh Girl! This 69 year old has &nbsp;completely cleaned out a 2nd floor storage area, off a bedroom, electricity and a window but no heat or air. I turned on two electric heaters in Han. And went fir it. Several loads and I mean loads later I have a nice clean storage area that is organized and I love! Also &nbsp;last year I purchased 5 oragami shelves and organized all my seasonal decorations in basement. Also purging tons. I al te organized my whole craft room, I scrapbook and make cards. I love it! &nbsp;All this was done in aboutv3 weeks spending about 2 to 3 days on each project. &nbsp;I have felt so motivated since Christmas and rewarding myself and my husband with several nice trips. The 5 min thing works so well on a daily basis.

  Hi Dawn :) &nbsp;I had surgery 2+ years ago and as part of my recovery my doctor told me to walk around my house for 5 minutes each day. Naturally, for me, I started picking things up as I went along and putting them away. &nbsp;I was amazed at what a difference a simple 5 minutes did at the start of each day. Although fully recovered, I have never stopped doing this and I never will !! &nbsp;xoxo

  Despite having the flu right now, I felt motivated today and just went through a few rooms to look for obvious thing I could get rid of that took no thought. &nbsp;I got 3 bags of trash and 2 bags and a box for donation. &nbsp;I have a very small house with no storage, so it constantly looks cluttered because there&apos;s nowhere to put anything. &nbsp;I realized I just need a lot less stuff.😊

  Hi Dawn, I use this &quot;5 minutes&quot; as a game when babysitting our grandson. As we wind down from playing with his toys like cars or magnetic tiles I say, Ok let&apos;s play the 5 minute game and see who can put away the toys first in their totes. I then set the timer and say go! Of course he usualy wins and he gets extra snugles and lovin&apos;s but the room gets picked up, no stress and everyone is happy😊 I really enjoy all your videos, thank you and God Bless!
