Lyrics & Translation

[English]

This room needs some work. Okay, it's

not that bad. I kind of admittedly have

nailed the out of sight, out of mind

method where I can make my room look

pretty spotless when I need to. But you

go just one layer deeper. You open my

drawers. You look

under my bed. You look in the dark

corners of my closets. It's not pretty.

So, when I say deep unclutter, I really

mean it. But why is it important to

declutter all this stuff if I can't

really see it anyway? Well, a couple

reasons. First, my days in this New York

City apartment may or may not be

numbered. And before I tackle that whole

moving process, I need to trim the fat.

I want to have to pack up as little as

possible. But second, and more

importantly, as far as I'm concerned,

this is fake organization. Yes, of

course, it's better than this visible

mess. I'm just going to keep roasting

this person. But when I actually have to

dig into one of these bins and get

something, I feel the chaos. I know it's

there and it still weighs on me. I want

it to feel organized through and

through. And finally, I just really

value having less stuff. I want

everything that I own to pack a punch,

to have a use, and to have a place in my

small New York City apartments. Like,

what is this? Why do I have this CVS

receipt? What is it actually? 42nd

Street. This is from my last apartment.

This is probably 2 3 years old. Oh,

actually, I do know why I saved this.

Well, still, you get the point. But I

want to be smart about this because

historically, I've been okay at best at

the whole declutter thing. Not because I

can't get rid of stuff, but because I

get very easily sidetracked. You might

not guess that about me, but it's true.

But if you're anything like me where

you're clean on the surface, but

underneath you could probably do a

little bit of sorting and you get easily

sidetracked from project to project,

well, I got a lot of tips and tricks

coming for you in this video. So, let's

get started.

[Music]

Okay, first things first. We need a game

plan. And I know just the way. Claude,

as someone who gets easily sidetracked

and jumps around from task to task, make

me a game plan on how to best tackle a

deep declutter of my New York City

apartment bedroom. For context, my room

looks clean, but under the surface, I

have a bunch of storage bins with a

bunch of junk in them. Game plan

complete. Okay, the one bin at a time

method makes sense. Start something.

Actually, finish it. Yeah. Yeah. Message

received. Okay. Phase one setup. I

actually I printed what Claude told me

to do. Day one, 30 minutes. Girl, we're

doing this whole thing in one day. I

should have told Claude that. Did I even

tell you guys that? Yeah. I'm leaving on

a trip tomorrow and I can't keep waiting

for life to kind of slow down for me to

actually tackle this task. I just got to

do it. And making this video and having

only one day left in the city feels like

two pretty good excuses to just get it

done. All right. Set up three designated

areas.

Keep.

Donate.

Trash.

All right. Donate will be

this trash bag. And trash will go into

a brown Trader Joe's bag. Pro tip. I

keep these I keep them under my sink.

And then I use these to transport my

little trash downstairs.

[Music]

I really wanted to write donut.

We got our trash. And then I really like

the idea of setting a timer for each

session to prevent endless wandering.

Endless wandering. Okay. Okay, Claude,

you see right through me. All right.

Phase two, the systematic attack. Nice.

2 to 3 weeks. Maybe 2 to 3 hours. How

about that? One bin per session. 45

minutes. Let's do 20 minutes. And then

start with the bin that bothers me the

most.

I think I know the one. And believe it

or not, it's not even one of these. It's

under my bed.

No, it's not an Aritzia bag full of

Aritzia clothes. But rather, it is what

I think all of us have in our homes, or

at least a place in our homes where we

just collect random It's not junk.

Most of this I will keep. It just

doesn't have a designated home. All

right. our systematic attack. Dump

everything out so I can see it and it

makes it harder to put it back in its

original container. Quickly sort with

snap decisions and place the keeps back

in the original container neatly. Well,

as I said, we're getting rid of that

whole container. So, let's get started.

Set a timer for 20 minutes. 20 minutes

starting now.

There's my pepper spray.

[Music]

My BCG badge. Corporate Taylor. RIP.

plastic knife. Nice, Taylor.

Snap decisions.

Snap decision. That I like that.

That was easy. Others will not be so

easy. Also, the reality of that one is

that I kept most of this stuff and it's

going to need to be reassigned into my

bins. And I did that with time to spare.

You have 6 minutes and 10 seconds left

on your 20inut timer. Now we can

actually tackle these other bins. Now,

which one of these bothers me the most?

Tough to say. I think this one bothers

me the most. Oh, interesting. I don't

even know these were in here.

Well, that's the point of this whole

thing, isn't it? Wow. This is a perfect

example of a bin that has no theme. It's

like Mary Poppins. You'd think not much

more could come out of this bin, but

there's more. Oh, that's really cute.

That's my problem. and some change. Wow.

Okay. Goodness. You know something Claw

did say to do? Clean the inside of the

bin. So, I'm going to do that real quick

with my favorite toy,

my handheld vacuum.

Okay.

Set a timer for 15 minutes. We're

getting faster. All right. I already see

right here that I have just within sight

six sleeping masks here. Six. And I

really only need one. Oh, there's

actually seven. Very nice. So, I'm going

to donate all those.

[Music]

Oh my god, guys. I wear contacts, but

you know, it's good to have a pair of

glasses, too. These are the ones that I

wore in college sometimes.

They're Warpie Parker. Warby Parker was

started by Wharton students. And I feel

like a um Peter Parker. They're actually

kind of cute. My eyes have gotten worse

since I got these

tiny hairbrush. I don't brush my hair.

That sounds crazy, but I can just use my

fingers. Oh, but I love my little sponge

ball brush. I remember using this a lot.

Ear muffs can go over there.

[Music]

Donate. Okay, guys. We did a bin and I'm

realizing this needs to be split out

into two. We're learning. We're

adapting. Okay. Claude also said that I

get a little treat after each bin. Don't

mind if I do. And then when we come back

up, we're actually we're not going to do

every single bin just yet because we

need to focus on something else. I'll

show you. But until then, let's get our

little treat. Also, I'm watching some of

these videos back and I don't like the

cut of this where the straps. I don't

like it. We're changing. Should we do

something fun and silly? I don't have

anything fun and silly.

I don't. This is kind of fun and silly.

It's fun and silly because it says

moist,

which is just one of my favorite words.

But this is from the best barbecue I've

ever had in Texas, right outside

Houston. Shout out Corkcrew. Okay, let's

get our little treat.

[Music]

[Music]

L to treat. Also, I don't know if you

guys can hear my voice. I'm sure you

can, but I am unfortunately a wee bit

under the weather, which is just great

for going on a trip right now. But you

know what helps with that?

Little treat. Little treat. All right, I

put my little treat in this thing. So,

as much as I would love to do all the

bins in one fell swoop, we do need to

tackle this. So, I'm pretty good with my

clothes. All the clothes that I own are

in these two dressers, but there is

still plenty here that I don't wear

anymore. And what are the rules for

deciding whether or not to keep clothes?

Does it spark joy? Have I worn it in the

last year? I think we got this. One pile

at a time, baby.

I remember.

Okay, these these categories are a

little bit different. Keep, donate,

and my favorite.

So, for those who don't know, this is a

serious nod or a throwback at least to

the origins of my YouTube channel. I

started my YouTube channel during

quarantine when I was reselling clothes

from home as a little side hustle to

stay busy, make a little bit of money.

became completely obsessed with it. I

absolutely love selling things online. I

love shipping them. Fun fact about me, I

really love selling and shipping things.

And a lot of the things I have are

things that I thrifted or bought at like

buy, sell, trade stores that are good

brands. For example, right here, these I

got not for cheap, but like at a buy,

sell, trade store, so they were

secondhand. And they're Veronica Beard

trousers. This is a brand where these

probably retailed for like 300 bucks

originally, but they're just too short.

My legs are too long. Maybe I don't know

what shoes I was wearing that day, but

somehow I didn't notice that they were

way too short on me. So, if you're

interested at all, I'm going to list all

of these on my Poshmark. If you want to

get any of it, I'll ship it to you

personally and write a little note for

you, too. I love including little notes.

Not to get overly sentimental about

decluttering, but going through all of

this really did make me reflect on how

much has happened over the past few

years. like finding a shirt that I used

to wear all the time or some random

cheap pair of sunglasses buried at the

very bottom of one of my bins. All these

things kind of felt like a time capsule

from a different phase of life. Excuse

me, baby. Of course, it's nostalgic, but

it's also freeing and exciting to let

some of it go and make space for

whatever there is to come next. Oh my

god, my little treat. Honestly, nice.

It's not that different than when we

started. Wait, it does look different.

It's cuz I got rid of some pants. Nice.

Wow. What would Jenz say? Go off

minimalist queen. I'm literally Jenzie.

All right. You know where I think we're

going to need to do even more pairing

down over here. Oh my god. In this whole

area really bothers me, but that is a

separate discussion. Okay.

[Music]

Okay. And then this like I'm not wearing

my college stuff anymore, but obviously

I'm keeping this. Do you know how many

3:00 a.m. nights I pulled wearing this

and my sweatpants? I really let myself

go during college

like fashion wise. Actually, do I keep

this? Hang on. Hang on. I think this is

a case of dupliciveness. Let's see.

Let's see. Let's see. Yes, I was right.

Okay, we both know I only need one of

these. Actually, they're both They're

kind of different. Oh, it's like that

scene from Delaware's Prada. I don't

know. They're just so different, but

they're not actually that different.

Okay, let's pick one. Okay, it's looking

a little messy now. This is like the try

on pile. This is the cell pile.

Yeah. Okay, back to the bins.

So, mini life update. I just finished

watching The Wire. For those who don't

know, The Wire is widely considered to

be one of the best shows of all time. I

am just so blown away at this show. It's

about the drug scene in Baltimore. But

it's not just the drug scene. It's the

police department, the detectives, the

news outlets, the local government, how

there's corruption, but also necessity

within each of them. and how they all

come together in this ecosystem of

Baltimore as a city. And it is just such

a deeply complex show, let me tell you.

Like, you cannot turn your brain off

while watching that show. But there are

dozens of story lines going on at once,

but when they all come together, the

payoff is is just so crazy. It is such a

good show. I am confident that I will be

re-watching it in a couple of years. Oh,

I did have an extra toothpaste. I needed

this a couple weeks ago. Ah, I know the

video is probably getting a little

repetitive. I want to make sure that

we're doing a change of scenery. So,

we're doing a little bit more of an

official little treat after I finish

this bin. You'll see.

Oh, money. I have all these different

currencies. Where is this from? Hong

Kong. Cool. Oh, that's another thing. I

wish that I had my together when I

was traveling through Japan and Hong

Kong a couple years ago cuz like now I

have my travel vlog system down. If you

don't believe me, you can go watch the

recent travel vlogs, the mini Asia

series. But a couple years ago, you

know, I would just get to these

locations. I'm keeping this. And be

like, "Oh, I should film everything."

Wait, no. I don't want to film. I just

want to enjoy it. But now I know how to

enjoy it and also film enough of it to

make a good video. So, I'm sad that I

didn't get videos in Hong Kong and

Japan, like two of the coolest places

that I've been, but I'll go, you know,

it's a good excuse to go back.

This is actually a really cute

throwback. These are the first pictures

I took on this disposable camera at

during the first party that I ever had

in this apartment. Oh, this is cute.

That's where we went afterwards. Good

mems. I'll keep that. You know what I

can start to do is like group things.

For example, I have a lot of toothpaste

and so I can put all my toothpaste

in one big bag. How about that?

Okay, that feels good. This feels good.

All right, we can start doing more

things like this.

Okay, sweet. That's another bin, you

guys. Oh, Hong Kong dollars.

And that's gross. Okay,

I know that's only two, but I need to

get out of this apartment. So, let's do

that, shall we?

[Music]

Oh, I love the summer so much.

[Music]

Anyways, here's what we're really here

for.

Yay!

Groceries secured. I wonder how many

cumulative minutes I've filmed inside

Trader Joe's at this point.

[Music]

All right, this is a decluttering video,

so I'll make this part quick, but it's a

really yummy meal that I've been making

a lot recently, so I thought I'd show

you. I call it my slop, but really it's

kind of like a turkey chili with a lot

of stuff in it, so I call it my slop.

Anyway, this recipe is very, very

random. It's just like a hodgepodge of

ingredients that I had in my pantry one

day. And then I asked Claude, "Hey

Claude, here are the things I have. What

could I make?" And then Claude gave me

something very, very close to this. And

then I've been making it ever since.

I love red peppers so much. Have to make

sure it's not poisonous.

One more for good measure.

[Music]

And that's it.

Yummy.

All right, guys. That was less of a

little treat and more of endless

wandering. We are losing daylight. I

actually have to get this done. One fell

swoop. Let's do the rest of the bins.

We'll make this quick. But first, it's

actually really hot in here. I need to

change my shirt again. This is different

than the first one, I promise. Okay,

this is junk. This is junk. Wait, this

is nostalgic junk. That's different. I'm

keeping it. Three different USB to USBC

cables. Do I keep one of them? Two of

them just in case. Nope, Taylor, that's

what we're trying to not do. Okay, fine.

Extra bed sheets for when I have guests.

Taylor, you only have one bed. Yeah, but

I might have two beds at some point and

I like hosting people. Okay, fine. Keep

the sheets. All right. Now, we got to

put it all back in a way that makes

sense. Okay. Okay. Okay. You might have

thought we were nearing the end, and we

technically are. Like the bins are

definitely the bulk of the work, but I

have a whole other category of things

that are a bit unusual and you might

judge me for it, but indubitably a big

perk of my job is that I get sent a lot

of stuff to try out. It's just more than

any one person can use at one time. And

for me, it's mainly really, really great

skin care products, makeup and skincare.

I mean, this right here, you can already

see, is from K's, which is freaking

crazy. The least I could do is put you

on right to some good stuff. Anything

KES is my favorite. But anyways, yeah, I

have a lot of PR and the least I could

do

is kind of organize it.

That might have seemed like a lot

because it was, but I have a whole

another box. So, let's do that really

quick speedun. Listen, I recognize the

absurdity of this and that it is just so

much stuff. Anyways, this is actually

coming together. These are not permanent

bags for these things, but they are now

categorized, which feels really good.

We'll deal with that later.

Wow, huge guys. All right, we organized

the PR final stages. We are

reallocating. We got three left so far.

I have medical. So, this one didn't

change too much. I just really organized

things. So, all the vitamins that I have

are in here. Just grouped things

together and I know where everything is,

even if it doesn't look clean. This one,

writing supplies, so stationary and

stamps. I write a lot of letters. This

was a gift, but it's really, really

fancy stationary. And a lot of Post-it

notes and pens. And then over here, we

have office tools. Both of these are

office stuff, but the difference is

these are more like stuff to clean my

computer, scissors. I reach for these

all the time. And again, it might not

look organized, but believe me, I've

labeled everything. Everything has a

place and I know what's in here, even if

it looks kind of me. Okay, now three

bins left. This is going to be a big

task because, as you guys saw in the

beginning, I have a lot of like hygiene

and health adjacent things. Q-tips,

deodorant, contact solution, that kind

of stuff. Where I'm not talking about

the PR, that's different. And I need to

figure out how to best sort it into

those remaining bins. Good news is I

think we freed up a whole bin cuz one of

them just had a bunch of random in

it. So, let's get started on that

separation process.

[Music]

Okay. All right. My guess is that the

best way to do this is going to be to

have one that's overall hygiene and then

like more beauty adjacent stuff. Take a

shot every time I say the word adjacent

in this video and you'll be hammered.

Do I keep the Spongebob brush? Do I keep

the Spongebob brush?

I think I keep the Spongebob brush.

Okay, this feels like a pretty good

start. I think we figured it out.

[Music]

We did it. Oh.

All right. Let me tell you what an

unlock it was to have a whole travel

bin. Because now any time I have oh a

little random teeny tiny thing here I

just put mini things in here and I can

pick from them when I go traveling then

you know things that I bring them in.

Genius. So here's what I ended up with

guys. You already saw these two. Nope.

You already saw these three. Boom.

Travel huge. We already talked about

that. These didn't have as clear of a

distinction as I was hoping but I think

I got it. So this is all dental eye care

and just hygiene. And again, even though

it looks messy, all of these things are

now labeled and in bags. How great is

that? Hell yeah. The slight downside of

making each one of these bins more

efficient and having an actual place is

that I no longer have a junk bin that

goes back in that corner. And that one's

kind of hard to get to. So, I have to

figure out which one of these I would

use the least. Wow. I mean, it looks

obviously the same. There's not like

going to be a crazy exterior before and

after, but I was honest about that in

the beginning cuz I'm pretty good at the

out of sight, out of mind thing. But now

I know that it's clean inside of the

vins, too, which makes me so so happy.

The slight unfortunate reality is that

all of these bags of now organized PR

still do not have a space in my bedroom.

I don't have enough space in here. And

so I'm kind of just going to wait out

for my new apartment where I'll have a

coat closet or some other kind of

communal closet where I feel comfortable

putting all that stuff. But for now, I

think it's going to have to go back in

my wardrobe. But at least I know it's

organized. And that really does a lot

for me. So,

[Music]

in case you guys couldn't tell, Claude

was a huge help with this whole entire

process. From the one bin at a time

method to setting a timer to prevent

endless wandering to inspiring me to get

my little treats between sessions and

letting me know exactly where I can

donate some of this stuff. I am

absolutely obsessed with Claude. I use

him every single day for lots of

different kinds of things. And if you

want to try him for yourself, you can

click the link in my description. Model

4 just came out. It's more powerful than

ever. Highly recommend. So, thank you to

Anthropic Claude for partnering with me

on today's huge deep declutter. I hope

you guys got some good tips and tricks

out of this. I can at least speak for

myself. This is the most successful deep

declutter I personally have done

ever. So, thank you guys for joining me.

I will see you soon. Until next time,

turtle out. You know what? Let's just

make things easier for the rest of the

video. Does it look chaotic? Cuz it is.

I don't have anything fun nor silly.

This is where I usually stand when I

drink my morning coffee. I would stand

on this, but I think this is a death

trap. Oh, that's a nice shot.

So cute and tiny. I think this every

time I pass this sign. This guy's name

is unfortunate for no fewer than two

reasons.

Little treat. Little treat. I'm talking

to a box of sardines cuz I pre-recorded

the claw result on my phone, but I'm

using my phone to film. You get it? I

needed something else.
