    It’s not so much the cleaning part I love, it’s waking up to a clean kitchen, walking past my room and seeing a made bed, and overall living and moving within a clean and tidy home that’s truly motivating. It’s a gift we give ourselves! Inviting guests over is also the BEST incentive to get things extra clean ✨

    • @TheCarlaProject

      @@TheCarlaProject Please consider bleaching your kitchen counter grout. It would make a world of difference in its appearance, and also make it much more sanitary, since bacteria builds up in there.

    Your space is so comfy. I like the mix of vintage and modern for that ecletic look and feel. You summed it up perfectly: lived in and might I add, loved on. Personally, I am 'a place for everything and everything in it's place kinda' girl. When I have an issue, I love doing a deep dive as it helps me to process.

    Also, I totally hear what you’re saying about doing the best with what you’ve got (apartment wise). I love when our apartment is reset and clean, but it is old and there is plenty around it that needs upgraded and fixed up once my husband and I move out one day. Sometimes it really bothers me that our place doesn’t look as aesthetically pleasing as we often see on Pinterest or in other RUclips videos, but you know what, my apartment is clean, decluttered, and full of love and good memories and that is truly the kind of home I want to live in. All we can ever do is our best with what we have been given!

    I LOVE to clean. My mom taught me early on that your home is your safe space. It's the one place you can retreat to and it should always provide comfort. For her and now me, that is expressed through keeping it clean, organize, and paying all the bills on time! 😄

  • @Smittenhamster
    @Smittenhamster 2 года назад +29

    I think you're already doing a lot better compared to previous videos in keeping your apartment in a general state of tidiness. You mentioned so often how you struggle with it so i really wanted to let you know that I see a difference and you should be proud of yourself 😊
    As for me, I grew up with the mantra of not leaving a room empty-handed so that helps a lot in keeping our apartment somewhat tidy. I also love to reset at night and have a clean kitchen and tidy workspace. In my job I sometimes don't see any results for my work but clesning gives me this immediate satisfaction of things looking better because I put a little work in it!

    My grandma was one of the 50s housewives. As a child growing up seeing her clean and cook it was like magic. My mom was a working mom and the house was always a disaster area. I chose as an adult to channel my grandma and it's backbreaking and a joy all at once to maintain the home.

  • @TheNerdistheWord
    @TheNerdistheWord 2 года назад +11

    I used to be like that - kicking my shoes off, throwing my bag over here, my jacket over there etc and making disaster zone right when I came home. I’ve adopted the “one touch rule” so instead of dumping everything down then moving it later, I just immediately put it where it goes. It saves energy in the long run because you’ve already cut out one step of going back to pick it up where you set it down. It has really cut down the counter clutter in our home!

    Nice video as always. One question: Do you need less time to tidy everything up since you have less things? I mean compared to when you started your journey? I love the vintage look of your kitchen. The floor really looks perfect with it all. No, I hate to clean. But thing is, I have two cats and you can't have a dirty appartement with two cats. So they keep me motivated. I am still on my journey, but compared to how things were two years ago, I made some considerable progress. I still have more things than I acutally need and use, but it is not as overwealming as it once was.

    • @TheCarlaProject
      @TheCarlaProject  2 года назад +3

      Yesss night and day difference!! my place used to be tidy 10% of the time now it's tidy and 70-80% just bc so much less for me to manage., decluttering has been truly lifechanging!! xo

  • @susanbrowning5891
    @susanbrowning5891 2 года назад +11

    I love to check in with you and you’ve motivated me in my decluttering journey in so many ways. One thing I was taught early on is I don’t leave the BR in the mrng. without at least pulling up the covers and resetting the pillows on the bed. That way if I get more motivated, I can put clothes or other stuff on the bed without having to stop and make the bed.

    Hi Carla.You're doing great.The solution to every mess is to put things in their place immediately,but that's not always easy.We're all different,but it's important to make an effort to always work on yourself.Yes I'm that person who likes to clean.Neat and organized.But that doesn't mean that I never make a mess or that I'm always ready to clean.Life is short,so everyone should do what they enjoy and they love.Greetings.🙋

      totally agree!! i love when my place is tidy and it feels so good and makes me happy. i've made huge progress after all the decluttering now it is just a matter of continuing to learn to pick up after myself and do it sooner rather than letting it pile up too much. but not end of world if i do cuz i can clean it all up and start fresh. thanks biljana xoxo

I do have days where I’m not striving to be perfect with my home. I would say 80% of the time my house is spotless. I know it’s not that easy for some. I’ve done some hard core mind training.

    I would love to buy myself flowers whenever I need that little bit of happiness in my home. However, non-organic flowers harm biodiversity and nature and therefore make nature itself less flowerful. I like picking a field bouquet every now and then, but I don't like buying flowers in store because of this.

    I do NOT love to clean! I used to be a total clutter zone. I did learn one thing from fly lady and that is if it only takes a minute to clean it up or put it away, do it NOW. That has helped me so much to cut down on clutter that I no longer leave out. I am 73 with health issues so every little bit I can do helps overall. I also have adopted the clean kitchen before I go to bed theory. So nice to wake up to a clean kitchen. By the way, you are looking totally ready for company.

It could get exhausting sometimes 🤷‍♀️

  • @grogers511
    @grogers511 2 года назад

    I don’t love cleaning. I would be very happy to have a regular housecleaner. I made plenty of messes. One day I decided to work on changing that by creating some habits. Habits like putting things away as part of “completing the cycle”. Always = 95%. My keys always go on a hook. My purse always goes in a dresser drawer. My shoes always go back on the shelf in my closet. My clothes always get put away - either rehung or in the laundry hamper. My bed gets made when I get up. I have a habit of doing a nightly walk-thru to set things right. Takes very little time. ✳️ I started with just constantly reminding myself to “do it now”. I like having my purse tucked away out of sight. I never have to worry if anyone might tamper with it and I always know where it is. Keys go on the hook - in case hubby needs them for some reason and I’ll always know where they are. Purchases get unpackaged and put in their new home or where they’ll be used next. Sometimes I rebel and let things slide - but life runs a little smoother when I do these things on the fly as part of my regular routine.
    ✳️Cleaning? I mostly follow FlyLady routines with a few tweaks. I gather trash twice a week. I change bed linens every other week. One bed one week. The other bed the next week. I do a load of laundry a day as needed. Towels, lights, darks, sheets, extra item. I do a quick dust. Vacuum. Mop the kitchen, 2 bathrooms and the den. I’ve settled on proven tools, products and methods. My routine is to clean all the mirrors and glass doors. Then go through and do all the dusting. Then vacuum the whole house. Then mop the 3 areas. Most weeks I split it across 2-3 days. ✳️ Deeper cleaning. I spend a little extra time cleaning in a different zone each week. This week it’s the kitchen. Yesterday I cleaned the microwave and wiped the cabinet fronts. Today I decluttered and cleaned the spice cabinet. I plan to do the pantry over the next 2 days. And, do a good thorough cleaning of the floor. ✳️ It didn’t take long to create the habit. And, now I hardly think about it as I do it. It runs smoothly. I don’t leave a room without a quick scan to see what needs to be set right or taken out of the room and returned to its place. I’m not perfect. But, so much better than before.

    If I leave things randomly around, I can't relax, so pretty much everyday my place looks very tidy.
    The one caveat for me being tidy is I dont make my bed everyday though im trying to make it a habit:)

    What happened to your TV cabinet? Your house looks great. When I was little I love to clean my friends bedrooms. Now I can't stand it.

    I am a certified neat freak. Neat freakery of the highest form suits me but…I do not like to sweep 🧹, mop, dust, do laundry 🧺 or wash dishes. I also don’t like having a house keeper. So I do it myself. I am not obsessive about keeping things tidy. I live in a very tiny place so it doesn’t take long to clean and 3 years ago when I decided to live minimally I find I still am decluttering and redoing things to have even less. I am slowly working on a small bin of paper/photo clutter. When I say small bin it’s the size of a storage cute ⏹ that you find at Ikea and it’s not even full. I am going to declutter a bit more tomorrow and also reduce my cell phone bill by switching carriers. It all kind of goes hand & hand. Decluttering your space & finances. 💕 I love your videos you are just a normal woman doing normal things. 😊

    My motivation is laziness. If I tidy up after myself all the time as I go, I never have to do a major tidy and it makes necessary cleaning easier, leaving me more time to walk my dog, drink tea, knit, read books or whatever… 😉
    (ps did you put a guest towel out for people washing their hands after using the bathroom?! I frequently stand with wet hands not knowing which towel to use and reluctant to use someone‘s personal towel hanging there!!)

    I can’t stand being in a dirty environment. So much so that the smell of bleach is calming.
    Small piles of clutter, dirt on the floor or my biggest hate is dirty doors and walls 🥴
    My family just knows I can’t sit still if I see mess… give me 30mins to clean up and you’ll have my full attention.

    Haha I am that person who can’t stand clutter and loves to clean. I got it from my grandfather whom was tidy to the extreme. Everything had its own place, even the smallest item and his house was so clean it looked like a showroom. Because my mom grew up with that she’s clean but messy and my dad is just overall messy.. anyways since I live on my own I just love having my own place clean and but not as extreme as my grandfather, I can leave some dishes in the sink and go to bed. Or do nothing the entire day and clean up my livingroom before I go to bed haha

    Loves the video, but the plugges in lamp you have on the side of your sink in the bathroom is dangerous!!!! It stand on such little space and one nudge with your albow into it while you’re washing your Face and it can fall into the sink and electricute you. Don’t leave electrical appliances like the hairdryer and straitner around plugged in when not in use, so colaen to the sink.

    I'm similar to how you described yourself, I have a way of creating a tornado wherever I go. I have this idea that I am always exploring in my head... it's the concept of changing your tolerance or meter for clutter or things that aren't put away. I have been trying to decrease the time between the moment I stop using something and the moment I put it away. I think that more times you put things away directly after use it = the more time you have to enjoy the tidy space = the more your tolerance for clutter decreases. If your tolerance decreases then the "its time to put all this away" feeling comes sooner than it used to. This might be a very simple concept that I am ovwrcomplicating but it works for me loool

  • @shannonbordeaux84

    I love to clean and have an orderly house, I feel my most comfortable that way. I always have a place to put stuff and when I use things I put it back where I got it from. You create more work when you don’t and let it accumulate wherever, and I don’t want to work harder just smarter. When I do that I don’t have a lot to clean.
