      My room is always the first to get neglected, but especially during the holidays. I depend too much on being able to just shut the door and keep it out of sight. Plus, haven't had luck finding a system for certain things that works for both me and my husband. So it becomes a mess way too easily. Same with my kids' rooms, but somehow I can stay on top of them. Lol.

      I also hate putting away my laundry, mainly because its overwhelming to sort them out, So, what i’ve done is to separate my bottoms from my tops. Gym clothes, lounge wear, socks, and undies. Not only do I take less time putting away my laundry now, but it helps me focus on just one section and I actually enjoy it now. Also, I noticed that my laundry looks a lot cleaner? 😂 ok ocd much? 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Love watching your videos! You're room looks so pretty! I used to sort my laundry like you, especially when I had all 6 of my kids at home growing up. Now that I'm older the only thing I do seperate are towels from clothes. Unless i have colors that will Bleed all the clothes go in together to save me time. They all get clean. I do however dry things different. For instance I hang dry my delicate items so they don't shrink and also air fluff my shirts and my sons shirts so they don't shrink. Everything else goes on heat but it's usually low heat. I also am big on not letting things sit in dryer. I immediately fold and hang items. My 2 sons that are still home put their things away and I put my husband's and my things away.

    This is a great motivation video to help clean my bedroom. I’ve decluttered my books I’ve had for years from school and the notes I took along with other books to read. I’ve also been going through my clothes. I’ve been storing the concert shirts and other clothes in the vacuum bags.

  • @shawnrobertson9618
    @shawnrobertson9618 Год назад

    My mom never wanted to do anything twice. She made a place for everything and put it back when she was done, including clean laundry. I always fold right out of the dryer and put it away. This keeps the clothes from wrinkling and reduces any ironing. And it saves the step of having to put the laundry somewhere in the interim and then pick it up again. It’s basically all about not expending extra energy where I don’t have to. And clutter piles up less which is great for sanity. 😊

    5:08 psych major here who loves watching cleaning videos! 😌 OCD stands for obsessive compulsive disorder. “Excessive thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors (compulsions).
    Obsessive-compulsive disorder is characterized by unreasonable thoughts and fears (obsessions) that lead to compulsive behaviors.” so unless those behaviors you are experiencing are interfering with your daily life (inability to attend work, school, or social activities & maintain relationships) then I’d say what you’re experiencing is very normal. My mom is just like you! When it comes to OCD, you may notice you have constant anxiety & mental distress due to said obsessions & compulsions, which actually ruin your normal behavior & functioning. 😊 anyways, i love your videos, i hope you find a better laundry routine for yourself & take back your self control (less procrastination). I struggle with laundry as well… take me 2-3 days to get everything washed & a week to get all the clothes folded & hung. EXTREMELY GUILTY OF PROCRASTINATION 😅

    • @lovinglifeasmegan
      @lovinglifeasmegan  Год назад

      I know what OCD is & I don’t use the term lightly. I’d think that sharing that I cannot just put things in the messy drawer without having intrusive thoughts about it all day long would indicate to you that I’m not misusing the term. 🫠

Oh, and yes I did get my skinny little arm caught in the wringer but I wasn’t hurt.

    Girl you are not alone with fixing the drawers when putting stuff away. Every time I open a drawer to put something away...if it's messy I have to fix it first. My husband is bad about unfolding a shirt and then picking a completely different one. He just throws the other one back in. Same with my kids. I do the no fold method with their jammies because well I'm tired of folding and refolding. Lol. Who cares if their jammies are wrinkled? 🤷‍♀️ but you are not alone. I am exactly the same way. This is making me want to clean out my closet. I can't comfortably step in it and grab what I need. I lean over things to get to what's inside. 🤦‍♀️ thank you for this video. I'm enjoying it so far and it's definitely giving me much needed motivation. Love your channel!! ❣️❣️

    Suggestion on dealing with the junk mail: I solved it years ago. When you check out at any store using a debit or credit card and are asked to give your phone number or your zip code, just say no! IT in the receipt software connects that information when a checker adds it. I get 6 pieces of mail a month now, only the actual bills for utilities and one magazine subscription. It took several years to stop the massive ad campaigns, but is so worth it!

  • @marcelaweber8752
    @marcelaweber8752 Год назад +1

    Megan, loved your video. Typically when hanging things with wire like that, the wire should be pulled taut. The looseness of the wire is the reason the mirror angles out. Also, the brackets are typically lower on the frame in order to distribute the weight. So, you could keep the top lip sitting on the current monkey hook, but also pull the wire taut and add a second monkey hook lower down. This would further distribute the weight, making for a stronger hold. Hope that makes sense and I'd love to hear if you try this and if it works!

    While I see the benefit of sorting laundry before washing, I have found that it is more beneficial for my mental health to always have laundry done and put away. The way I have found works best for me to do that is 1 load of laundry every day from start to finish. It's way less overwhelming that way because it doesn't pile up in baskets waiting to be folded for weeks (which is my current status because we've all been sick and I'm off my routine lol!!) Because I'm usually doing 1 load a day, it isn't practical to sort it since there isn't enough of 1 category of clothing for a full load. :)

      OCD manifests in different ways for different people. I definitely have intrusive thoughts, which is a symptom of both OCD & anxiety. For example, if I put all of my laundry in the wash together, or didn’t tidy the drawers while putting clothes away, I wouldn’t be able to stop thinking about that until I went back & fixed it. It’s intrusive thoughts & ritualistic solutions.

    Honestly, sorting my laundry just depends. I used to sort it regardless until my husband washed clothes one day & I went to fold them and saw it all mixed. Now it doesn't bother me at all if it's not sorted. Lol. However, if I have enough clothes to make a full load for each category (which is mostly the case), I sort it. If they're smaller loads, I will mix my whites and lights & then the next time whites need done, ill wash them alone to keep them bright and white. Towels and bedding always gets sorted. They dont get washed together and the definitely dont get washed with my clothes. I don't want the lint from either sticking to my clothes and & causing chaos because I can't just fold and put away clothes that have lint all over them. I'll either lint roll each piece of clothing or try another cycle in the dryer. But both is a huge waste of time.
    Also, washing the clothes and putting them away is easy for me. I also sort my drawers every time I put laundry away. But the folding! That's what I can't stand. 😂 I don't know why but it just feels so daunting to me.
