HOW TO DO THE 5x5 SPEED CLEAN! - ruclips.net/video/smXBzOq8c5c/видео.html
Let me know what kind of music you like when you clean, I'll add it to the next timer!
A 15 min zone one and an hour zone timer would be good Steph!! I love the music you use x
Could u make the sound of the timer louder when it goes off please?. I did not realize it was done and jumped onto the next one already.
Thanks! It helps me to start the 5x5 today. I have been doing the small beginning step the past 5 days already but could not start the zone cleaning timer bec I did not know where to start first. I usually clean tub just before I show so I can get wet and no problem. When I did toilet clean, I did all 3 toilet. Spray the first and marinate first, go to the second and Third, and go back to the first. That is why I am bogged down trying to figure out the zone ......or items. My house is similar to the size of urs. I print the printable already..... but.... Maggie
This would be amazing and helpful!
This is great. Can you add a ding ding ding at the end of the last timer, too, please?
This music is perfect!
Tonight I was praying with my four year old son at bed time and it went something like, “Thank you for mommy. Thank you for Daddy. Thank you for my brothers. Thank you for Steph.” You’re the only Steph he “knows.” 😆 I thought it was so cute!
I am also very thankful for you! I could not understand the Flylady system before I found you. The system has saved our household!
So cute!!!
My 4 year old gets as excited as me when he sees a notification on my phone that she has a new video!!
Aww, this is so adorable.
I know I was excited about this method a month ago but I am ecstatic about it now. 🥳 It has revolutionised my home. Two sessions of 5x5 and my entire house is picked up. Done twice a week and my house stays tidy. 🧹Gone are the days of overwhelm and procrastination and guilt at the state of my house. I don’t put off the vacuuming because there’s stuff all over the floor. I can clean my windows, a job I never get to, because I’m not exhausted from dealing with the state of my house. If that isn’t enough I used to spend a whole day yelling and getting frustrated at my kids trying to get them to tidy one room. Injuring our relationships and feeling unappreciated and telling myself that nobody listens and nobody cares. I just did a 5x5 with my boys who are 10, 8, 5 and 3 and my house is spotless. Dishes done, floors vacuumed, clothes in the wash, I mean crazy clean. I cannot believe it and that’s after half an hour of trying to get them to pack up one set of toys in a box. Not only that but I then spent half an hour talking to and connecting with my 5yr old instead of hiding in the bathroom feeling like I didn’t even want to be in the same room as my kids. 😭 Steph you are a freakin genius!!!! I will be eternally grateful to you for giving me this gift 💝
😊
Wowww this is such a motivating comment. So do your boys come along with you to each room and you do the 5 minutes? How does it work?
My house was a disaster 😱 I feel like I’m coming down with the flu 🤧 we have a big weekend coming up and I had two hours until my first appointment of many for today. I was just generally feeling drained and overwhelmed but after three rounds of 5x5 my entire home is feeling like new. I feel energised and accomplished and I still have time for a much needed shower and to put on a fresh face. Thank you so much Steph! You have totally turned my day around!
I did sometimes add an extra 30 seconds just to finish a task that I couldn't leave unfinished but man I never realized how much I could get done in only 25mins. Taking a break now but I might go again in just a few to see how much more I can get done today!
This was great! I think it's the first time I ever got right up to clean. I started reading the comments and told myself to get off my chair and join in. I agree with Heather (below). It would be fun if you were coaching us. It would also be fun if you randomly posted these 5x5 videos every so often as a call to action for the community.
Thanks for the idea! I can easily modify it!
I love this method!! It’s what I use on Monday mornings to clean up after our weekends. 😀
Same!
🥰 Thank you! I decided to use this video as my timer, and I’m SO surprised how much I actually got done. This is a very motivational method.
Great job! Its incredible isnt it?!
It’s life changing. I don’t feel like all my weekends are about cleaning. A lot can be done in 25 minutes.Thnak you for that!
Love love love it!!!
Wow what a great idea! I'm going to save this for when my home needs a quick pick up, thank you
Your videos are so motivating and encouraging for those who struggle with cleaning routines, thank you!
My little studio is still a mess, but these videos really do help. This morning I used your 5x5 timer video with my morning routine and I was astonished at how much MORE time I had when doing each task; couldn't believe how much time I've mis-spent before
I use this timer every morning to get me moving. Since Covid lockdowns and life changing I had gotten out of a routine of cleaning. Let's be honest, I had stopped even getting dressed most mornings. I love the short videos that have helped me get back on track. I have shared this with so many people already. Thanks!
La Dona ... how do you 'save' the video so you can get to it quickly daily?
@@briannab5296 Hi, under the video it says save and when that opens there is a list you can save it to. You have to be logged in. When you open youtube the Watch later and show more is on the left. It will be there in whichever place you put it. :) Hope that helps
@@ladonamcalister5755 ... ty
The music is perfect!
❤❤
Wish you were coaching us. You can do it. Time is almost up. Etc. But love this. ❤❤ I will come back to this video often!!
Great idea! I might make another one like that later :)
Great idea!!
And something at the end to say “Great Job, now you’re done! Doesn’t that feel awesome!”
Oh yes, good idea. Also maybe add a few seconds between each timer and a "ready, go" or something for the Next Room. :)
I do love that you put the soundtrack in the background thank you 💖
I used this right away as I'd just finished homeschooling and needed to catch up with housework, needed to pause 1.5mins in tho as one of my little ones needed me. Only thing is I would have preferred a room change in the still on the screen, anyway, great video.... I can see me using this at least daily xx
Yes, I thought it meant spend 5 mins in the kitchen, then I thought the room photo would change for each following 5 mins Lol. Anyway, still an awesome idea. Kind of did this last night but worked with 2 rooms at the same time. Will definitely do this today. Tired of looking at mess, it also feels like a little game “Beat the Timer” and I like the music too. 😊 Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the idea! I will change it up for next time!
That room change was what I was looking for too.
Perfect motivation, the added timer was just what we need! Finished my morning reset and got myself ready for the day! Hitting replay to keep me company while I tackle the day's zone cleaning. Thank you!
I can’t thank you enough or tell you just how much coming across this post means to me. I’ve been in a major slump with no motivation whatsoever. It got me up and moving and once I got started, I just kept going so thank you.
You probably had no idea when you posted this three years ago that it would still be impacting people today, but it is.
Love this! I use this timer every day! For some reason I can’t get motivated to do a 5 x 5 unless I have this timer on 😜 Thanks for creating this!
Awesome! Used this the first time today and did the kitchen, laundry room, tv room and two bathrooms! Saved it for my next go round :) thank you!!!
Worked a treat! My main problem is GETTING STARTED 😩. I put it off because I dread how long it will take. It’s much easier to start when it’s ONLY 25 minutes......and then I did another 15 because I felt like it😄.
So simple but so motivating. You should totally do more of these for zone cleaning.
Its about two weeks that you made this and I can tell you I have two kids and use that more that twenty time .. some day I use that twice .. and you absolutely save me with this... Thank you 🥰❤️🌹💝
Wow! Thank you for doing this genius video. As I sat there and watched your 5×5 I was thinking I should get up and see how long it actually took me to unload my dishwasher. Then you mentioned this video and I just had to come see it. It started and I got up and unloaded my dishwasher in less than 3 minutes....why did I put it off?? Then I washed the few dishes in the sink and shined my sink. All in under 7 minutes! Now it will be nice to see a clean and shiny sink in the morning ☕
Thank you! This actually got me to achieve some housework today despite being totally drained after work. My space is nowhere near perfect but way better than before this popped up in my playlist. Thank you
Super idea ! Many thanks from Geneva in Switzerland. I love your content 😊
I'm going to use this as my timer! Great music 🎶!
Great idea :-)
Super handy! Thanks for this!
Thank-you for this!
Love this Steph!
Very handy..thank you! XXOO❤
You are so welcome! Thank you Pat, I hope you are having a fabulous day!
@@TheSecretSlob Thanks Steph and same to you. Seeing you made it even more fabulous!
This is just great! Your first 5x5 video was the first Secret Slob video I saw and I've been cleaning along ever since! You've changed my life.
Oh my goodness, I LOVE this!!
Great idea 👍👍👍👏👏👏👌👌👌 thanks for this "video-timer", very handy!! 😀😀💪
Very good!
Just did my first 5 x 5! Thanks for this timer and music! It's perfect for me! Great little cardio work out too!😉
Saved it. This was helpful!! Just got the house tidied before dinner prep!
Loving the timer video! Made me feel like I needed to try this right away! Thank you!!
You're so welcome! You got this!
Thank you!!
I am about to use your timer for the first time....I'm pretty darn excited about it too
brilliant!
This timer was perfect!
I am going to use this on my next 5x5
Thank you for this simple little video. It was super motivating (even more than I expected) and I know I’m likely to come back to it in the future. 😊
This video is surprisingly a great idea! I’m favourite-ing it.
Thank you, I had Vertigo and very little done in condo in a week. I put your timer on and was able to put a tidy up a bit. I did have to rest in between each 5 minute but happy with progress today. Thanks, Steph.
This is great! I thought the music was great and the dings were obvious to me, but I was listening with headphones. 👍🏻♥️ I will definitely be coming back to this frequently!
This is fantastic! Used this to get ready for weekend company & in a few minutes will use to “reconstitute the house!” Never went quicker. Thank you!
What a great idea for a video with a built-in timer! Thanks, Steph 👏🤸♀️❤
Thank you so much for making that timer! I am going to use it all the time!
Thanks for this!! I have been using it alot. I like how it mixes up my normal routines! A welcomed change for sure
I just cleaned my whole house in 25 mins 😮 never in my 30years have I been able to do that. Usually it’s an all day Sunday project, but I’ve been trying clean my house before I leave, regardless of where I’m heading it can wait. Wow, thanks for this video!!❤
This is so Great!! Thank you! I am trying to build my nightly routines, I have yet to succeed in doing them. This is helping so much at night to get me prepared for tomorrow. Thank you so much!
You are such a sweetie for doing this timer video....thank you so much xx
Thank you, just what I needed today!
I am new here. Enjoy watching ur channel and u do help me to get motivated. Thanks. How to decide which 5 areas?
Also , I have difficult times to use the mop in one day everyday. The steam mop pad is not dirty yet and I have clean them for next day. Tips? If I steamed mop family room , living room and stir cases. That would not be done cleaning. ... I really don’t know how to start the zone cleaning.... tips?
Have a little search on Steph's channel playlists, she has the best video ever which explains the full fly lady technique including zones. I do know that Steph has altered the zone cleaning tho and literally foes zone 1 on week 1 of the month, zone 2 on week two, etc etc. Ps Steph has did an actual 5x5 video, 2 actually I think on her channel and this explains it, but I think you just pick the 5 most messiest rooms x
I picked the hallway desk, I did not make a dent for 5 mins. But I love ur video which make me to start and think more. So I did more. Too many miscellaneous stuff by the entrance. I spent 15 mins.
I saw many video, I do have trouble following the series bec there are many 21 days. I felt overwhelmed seeing so much prep work . I need to find a way to make a start of the zone cleaning easier for me. If I have to put a lot of effort to just to start the zone cleaning, it will fall off the wagon. My office is a disaster but not the kitchen. And I have a dog. Any one has a dog? I need to vacuum every day or other day for the main floor . That also make it complicated. Any suggestions?
Anyone do 15 x 2? Is the 5x5 once a week or daily?
@@maggiel6597 5x5 is just to b done when your house is overwhelming and you don't want to start. I dont know what 15x2 is. Steph always says make it work for you. I vacuum every day too, the fly lady does not necessarily recommend this, tho Steph even does a daily floor check, I think with her brush and dust pan. For eg fly lady says to swish and swipe each bathroom daily, Steph has 4 bathrooms and does one each day on rotation. I have 1 bathroom and do it every other day. Search on Steph's channel for "what is the fly lady system?" this explains it all. X just checked and Steph's video you'll need is called how to start the fly lady system x
@@lynseymoffett9656 i always start with the kitchen. Then, I.move on to my bedroom, bathroom, living room, and finish with the laundry room. That gets my house set for the day!
Boom thank you this has help me alot x
This one is lifechanging 🤯 thank you so much!!!
Thank you I really needed this. House looks great
Wao Steff this is a game changer. Hubby loved it too so he joined when I explained it was a game challenge!!! Thank youuuuuu
I love your encouragement in videos I would love to see a 5x5 clean with the video with timer and cleaning in real time not sped up. Thank you for the inspiration.
yess girl
Love this! You are helping young and old alike!! Just what we needed!! Hello from Miami Florida 🌴😎
*Oh my! The music changed! I guess for 2024? That was a surprise for me. Happy cleaning everyone!*
Love this!! Thank you!! 😍
I played this tonight during my cleaning. My house is small so that four is enough. The last five minutes gave me time to take out the trash and recycling :)
Use often. Thank you
This is great, Steph!! Exactly what I needed today during this super busy season in our family! Great motivation!! Thank you!!! This is going on my save for later list so I can use it again!!
Thanks so much for this! Your channel always gets me motivated to clean 🌻
Thank you for this! Just whizzed round and now I can put my wee one down for his nap, and actually chill for half an hour rather than clean! It’s not perfect but hoping as the decluttering kicks in it’ll be easier as time goes on! X
I am cracking up at the tiny space I didn’t even get fully cleared in my daughters room for the first 5 😂😂😂 I’ll probably need the whole timer for her room later lol
Maybe :) But you stil got something started, and thats the biggest hurdle! Well done!
Maybe go bk to zones you didn't finish when you finish early in others...😁
Wonderful video idea! Would love maybe a 20 minute or 45 minute timer! Also maybe you could make one for Self-care, Productivity, and Planning! For example, a 20 or 30 minute Self-Care sprint. I liked the comment where someone mentioned motivating us in the video! Thanks!
This is great idea 💡 👏🏾
Steph this is great! Love the concept as I have already mentioned in your previous video. I like that in 5 minutes you do make progress and things are much better than before the five minutes so it's a win-win situation! I've seen others use your method and they did mention you which is great! Keep inspiring us!!
Great idea! 😁xx
I LOVE this. It makes me feel like I’m not alone, where normally it’s so easy to
just sit back down and watch vids instead of continuing to other rooms.
Thank you from Switzerland
❤ this one is still so helpful!
Would love more of them. Maybe you could do a celtic music version?! 😊thanks!
I love this!
I think I have commented before but I'm pretty sure I have given at least 300 views to this video. haha. Ever since you made it we have been using it regularly. The fighting with my now 8 year old daughter to clean her room has come to an end. I just say...time to do a 5x5 clean!! And she has divided her little room into 5 areas and starts the timer. She loves the music. She also usually beats the timer....turning a 10 minute job back into a 10 minute job instead of an entire day of crying about how big the mess is. She gets so overwhelmed with any size mess so this has helped her to confidently accomplish the task. (and me too) If I have a big giant mess in a room, I will do the same as her and divide the room into 5 sections. Or I'll do our main living areas while my kids do their rooms and bathroom. And lots of times they will do the main living area on their own just for fun. Anyway....this gigantic comment just to say THANK YOU!!!
Wow! This is so great to hear!! Thank you so much for sharing your story - I applaud you and your daughter 😀😀😀💕💕💕
I looove this method! 👏🏼 So I now use it (while listening to your video) every day, so the views will probably keep going up! 😉
Thanks for this! Sending love from The Netherlands 🇳🇱👩🏼🌾🧀🌷
Thsnk you so much xxxx
this actually really helped me
This is the BEST of the BEST plan cleaning i ever had ! Thank you!! I trought that i had to start with the kitchen so i did but the Next 5 min 😂 was kitchen Pic again so the idea for you is to do a video with the image of the task or room.
Super thank u 💛
This is FOR ME! Thank you so much!! 😀😀
So good!
I love this video! I use it to tidy up almost daily! I’ve grown to love the music and it’s been motivating me to clean quickly. I know you said you got it from epidemic sound but I can’t find the songs. Any chance you know the names of the specific songs you used or know of a way for me to find them?
Wow Steph. This timer is super motivating. I just ran through my entire house, well most of it. My son's room needs extra time and grace, lol, but I am getting there. I am amazed at how much I got done. I think I will only use your timer from now on. The music really gets me going. A standig ovation to you. Have a good one. Many thanks all the way from South Africa.
I have to come back and comment again! I love this timer. I do wish there was a 10 to 15 second pause though between the ding and the next one beginning so I have time to change rooms and put down what I'm doing. But I use this for my quick tidy at the end of the night to clean up the kitchen, living room, my kid's bedrooms (there's 2) and then the last timer to get them in bed! So many things for a short timer!
Hi there! Thanks for the briliant idea! I'm watching you for a while, I'm trying to apply flylady method as well, but I want to say thanks for this: today, I applied your 5x5 method with my 12 years old boy, for preparing lessons for school. We used a 10 minutes frame for each school subject. The remining time from one subject was used for math or English... It was great! I was happy with the result and he was very happy to finish în 90 minutes, not în 3 hours as it used to take!! Thanks again! Raluca (România)
I got so much done!!
Thank you!!!!!
Helpful 👍
Sure got a lot done. Sitting down to assess!!
Dishwasher emptied
Counters wiped down after breakfast.
Dishes in the dishwasher
Laundry out of dryer folded and put away
Bed made
Pills for a week put out took 9 minutes
2 toilet bowls disinfected and floors around both as well
Loved this Steph. I kept looking to see what room we should be in. Be nice if it said you’ve got 1 minute left then a 30 and then 5,4,3,2,1 💐💐❤️❤️💐💐✅. Music was good and upbeat. I’m always good for dancing 💃
As an aside, Would you be willing to do a timer video with classical piano, and perhaps one with upbeat dance music, etc.? Different genres for the different age groups or tastes of people who follow u?
I love that idea! Totally!!
❤❤❤
Thank you steph it's change my life ! Could you please do the same for your 12 rooms in 5 minutes🙏🙏🙏 ? Merci de France 😊
THANK YOU 😍😘💕
