I'm much more casual now that I'm a widow living alone, but when I was raising my kids I had 3x5 cards on which I had written menus. I had my main dish, my vegetable etc. Each one was a balanced meal. On the back of each card I had all the ingredients that I needed. That way before I did my shopping I could pull out the 3x5 cards I wanted to use that week and just look at the back to see what I needed. It saved me tons of time and brain power and as I started teaching my kids to cook, it made it a lot easier for them, too.
Great idea and thank you for sharing Alyce
Lovely tip 👌
Great idea - thanks!
This was a great idea for your children in learning how to cook. I believe teaching them to be independent is the best gift we instill in our kids. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
@@WilletteB I agree. I homeschooled my children and taught them to be able to do everything themselves at a young age.
Need routine and consistency!!!
1. Wake up at the same time every day.
2. Write a to-do list.
3. Prioritize (use Covey's urgent vs. important quadrant)
4. Create time and space to be organized every day (review calendar, make lists, schedule tasks, etc.).
5. Declutter your wallet.
6. Give everything you own a place.
7. Use routines.
8. Prepare outfit the night before.
9. Meal planning.
10. Clean your kitchen sink at night.
Great list!!! I'd like to hear if you have any 'year end' tasks to 'finish' up the year with, for example, shred documents, plan major goals for the following year, etc.
That’s how I learned the quadrant technique also!
Yes! .. new year reset advice, much needed!
I prefer a seasonal "reset." It's more natural than the new year, middle of winter routine of making resolutions that seem to fizzle out by February. The only thing that needs my attention in January is garden planning and going through old seeds, buying new, etc. As for most organizing tasks, for me it makes more sense to tackle them before the full frenzy of the holiday season is upon us. I particularly like to go through clothes, gift wrap*, books, and other things in good condition to donate to our local thrift shop in time for cash-strapped people to buy as gifts. Then in spring I gather the warm weather stuff to donate. *Re gift wrap: I recently got rid of all my wrapping paper and most of the ribbons in favor of using gift bags that I can just put the item in and top off with tissue paper and a garnish of curling ribbon. Bingo. Done. No more trying to wrap an awkward shaped gift and saving odd scraps of gift wrap!
@@marilynndesilva7620 YES! I also just use reusable gift bags. Much less waste and a bag to carry the gift in...
Her video "18 things to declutter before 2022" does this, it's great!
Love this! Throwing in a tidbit for those who are owls, not larks: It doesn't have to be 5:15 am. You figure out the schedule that best serves you and your family and be consistent with it.
Agree - it's so tedious to hear "just get up early!!" from larks as if there is only one way to live and if you don't, you're a moral failure or something!
Exactly!
She literally did not say everyone has to be up at 5 : 15 every day
I needed this today! I suffer from depression and for the last year it has become unbearable. I lost all motivation. I don't sleep at night at all but sleep during the day. There has even been times when I have slept for 20+ hours simply because I didn't want to deal with the day. My house became a disaster zone and my poor husband did all he could (while working 10 hour days) to pick up some of the slack. It has been horrible. The strain on my marriage has been horrible. It all came to a head when, for the 1st time ever, I didn't want to decorate for Christmas. I realized that I was self sabotaging and I needed to regain the simple structures that I had let go. I had a plan and now watching your video, I feel excited to implement it! Thank you for the motivation, it helps more than you know. :) Merry Christmas!
My past year has been burdened with depression, as well, and it has been horrible! I lost a 23 year relationship (in part) as a result of my lack of motivation. Depression is now worse than ever.
@@kelleywillis3789 I am sure you will be able to motivate yourself back . Merry Christmas
When I have 'the blahs' I set a timer for fifteen minutes for the goal of 'at least doing something.' I find it really helps me and I usually continue on for a lot more than fifteen minutes. Plus, it lifts my spirits that I have done 'something.'
@@michelepastele5347 .. what a pretty name you have Michele Pastele!
Glad to hear you are feeling more hopeful. Have a joyous and peaceful Christmas!
Excellent video! I'm a fella and for some reason this came up on my suggested videos!? Lol 😅 However it's EXACTLY what I needed to see, being I'm single now for the last 3 years, I'm struggling with the house stuff especially after having suffered a major flood downstairs! So I've SERIOUSLY got to 1. Sort the house 2. Keep it sorted! 3. And my days! I always worked in the financial markets, so ALWAYS been a massive OCD everything spot on dotting the i's crossing the t's and working STUPIDLY long hours was ALWAYS up ridiculously early getting home late and very little sleep! But last couple of years, had a few things go wrong/taken a few hits and my once orderly life has turned into can't remember or get motivated to even be organised! I got the list on the phone and it just gets pushed back day after day week after week and I've even let EXTREMELY IMPORTANT things slip past deadlines that have left me in more cr@p! As I was so overwhelmed with the house and all the stuff that had accumulated that I had to sort out it literally gave me a breakdown! Anyhow not to sound negative this is a positive post as this is one of the best organisational videos I've seen.. (not sure the Eisenhower thing would work for me ) but definitely a take on/adaption on that for sure maybe a long term medium term and shirt term/urgent list or something like that! Have to say my productivity has gone from 200% to 0% in last couple of years! Decided this week I HAVE To take charge of this rubbish, sort the house and turn this around (having a spine op that went wrong in 2019 didn't help none being single either as that's what started the house becoming a mess being laid up/unable to do much)
This video was excellent and just what I needed!!
Sorry for the essay! Just to say it doesn't just apply to women, as being bit of an old-school English, "man's man" 💪😅 so to speak ( even though I'm not old) lol 😅 This is REALLY helpful!
Great stuff!! And I admire your organisation aswell!
Cheers and Best wishes from London England 👍❤️💪😎🏴
Maybe it just needs to be in writing in front of you most of the time. You Tubes That Awkward Mom said just to consider getting three items accomplished a day in addition to your regular routine. My written list on a clip board is the only way I remember everything. Best Wishes Also I am older and would have loved a routine years ago.
I do need a routine in my life!😊 thanks for your videos! Your an inspiration!❤🥰
Gosh , Kallie's advice fits both men & women , for sure! I'm glad for you that her video showed up & you watched it ! Sounds like it's going to help you get back on track. That's wonderful ! Yikes about the flooding ! Happy new year from across the pond.
I’m a firm believer in your clean sink before bed rule - and you are so right, it ends up leading to all sorts of new habits. That clean sink tip is gold.
Me too. It's a life-changer.
Yes, me too. I learned this from the Flylady years ago it was her first "babystep rule" :)
That sleep schedule is everything. I've had insomnia on and off for forever, and I look back fondly at the short time in my life (job I had/where I was living) where I could fall asleep by 8 and be up at 5 😂❤️
THAT'S what I was missing! I need 10 days every morning to sort my To-Do List! 🤣🙌
😂
😂😂
I'm a complete and unorganized slob. I've tried so many different cleaning programs books and online groups to become a cleaner more organized person and ive just never been able to stick to anything longer then a week. Last month I watched your 3 things video. And I said well Ill try to clean my sink every night and just focus on that. I dont force myself to be perfect about it, but I at least work on it each night. I have to say its been over a month now since I started and its helped me so much. Having a reasonably straightened kitchen every morning has really helped inspire me to tackle the rest of my house as well. I even bought a roomba to help with the work load. The clean sink rule really has inspired me to get my house so much better. I've still got a long way to go but I so beyond appreciate that you've opened a doorway of sorts to help me get my house under control.
I agree with you 100%. When the lockdown first started I lost my routine. For the first week or two I fell down the You Tube rabbit hole. I didn’t even brush my teeth or shower. I realized I couldn’t continue this way. I found the Fly Lady’s lists and used them to create a new routine that I still follow. My routine is very similar to the one you follow.
I started the FLYLady training in 2001, and have adapted it to our needs etc. It has made a shift in the legacy of home care that I grew up with and how my kids learn how to do things that were not instilled into me as a kid.
I remember FLY lady! My friend told me about it years ago...i liked the clean sink method thing! But I agree, I need more lists and meal planning thing!
Because I'm ADHD and OCD, "to-do", "goals", etc., make my brain shut down.....SO, I sat down and wrote down words and phrases that don't make my brain completely shut down.
I came up with (drum roll please):
PLAN OF ATTACK (S)
THAT is how I got my brain to NOT shut down with the things I Need to get done for the day, week, or month.
YAY ME!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳😂
Same! 💯
Excellent comment! Having OCD can be a debilitating condition. I hope you are getting the help you need with therapy and medication. Good luck to you!
People do not realize how debilitating those two things are on a household! I also have those diagnoses, and I shall make a LIST about that! 😋
1. You want to do something simple such as walking into the kitchen to eat;
2. on the way there you notice a cluster of objects with grease on them that you didn't leave out, it has to be something another family member left, now your adhd and ocd has flipped your switch.
3. One hour later you haven't eaten, you're getting grouchy, that family member walks by......
4. You totally have to inform him or her that you have spent an hour cleaning; let's be honest, it's his (not him or her lol) mess, the other adhd person in the house!
5. Now there is a heated discussion about how he can't put things where they go and you can't believe it had grease all over it.
6. You're hungry and at that point you could care less about his side of the story and you grab an unhealthy snack like item.
7. Thank God my kitchen sink is clean lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!😇😇😇😇😇
8. Then you start beating yourself up and feeling guilty about bringing up his mess, bc you're at home and he works, so why not clean up after him? You apologize, and beat yourself up even more bc you can't stay on task.
9. Meanwhile back at the kitchen counter, your "breakfast" sits there uneaten.....
10. Now you're just drinking coffee and watching bfc and life is good!
The thing with deciding what to eat every day is SO true!!! Really overwhelming, and now I understand better than ever why my mom was cooking us the same meals over and over again. But I admire your little kids for sleeping all night and letting mom and dad have some rest 👏👏👏👏 totally not my reality.
I follow so much of this advice on a daily basis. When I make my list and then I find I did something that was not on the list, I will actually take the time to write it on the list and cross it off. Psychologically it makes me feel productive, like I'm getting more done. For years, I have also laid out my outfit the night before. One less thing to think about in the morning. I love all my routines, but do allow myself to take advantage of spontaneity. My routines really keep me on track and sane during my busy days. Great video!
You are not alone
Super advice. A good old rule to live by: "A place for everything and everything in its place." Also, when I make a To-Do list I alternate must-dos (like cleaning the litter box) with things I really love doing, like sewing or crochet.
Gosh I love this so much! 💜💜
@@MiaStar thanks!
I try to cook meals that would last for 3 days. I don't mind leftovers and this free up a lot of time when I get home from work at 7 p.m.
Sometimes leftovers are even better than when freshly made.
I don't follow every single advice, like I refuse to get up at 5:15 in the morning, however, habits like meal planning, emptying the sink and dishwasher before going to bed and so has been such a game changer for my boyfriend and I. He has seen how organised I have become and has getting inspiration to get more organised himself
You are a true joy; thank you so much for all your inspiration! 🤗
I have meal planned for a very long time, but as the schedule got more hectic, I did not assign meals to days. It allowed me more flexibility. I had the ingredients on hand and could pick from the list of meals which would work better that day. The key point which is presented is to have those decisions mostly made. Love your future self and give her a hand!
I have a regular sleeping pattern from 4:30 to 11:30. It works really well for me. I'm a teacher and I startet to work at night school, bc I just couldn't wake up early for regular school. I was SO productive in Uni when I could generate my own schedule. I was barely graduating High School, bc I was always tired. So I once again became tired all the time when I started to teach at a regular school. I couldn't think of anything other than going home and sleep again. Evening school was the best decision I made in my grown-up life. Some people are just not made to wake up early. It has nothing to do with creating habits. Sometimes you just have to listing to what your body needs.
You are always uplifting & encouraging. I used to have a place for almost everything. Life changes. We now live on a small farm & have snow 5 mos of the year. My priorities fluxuate between home, livestock & outside chores. Every time I get discouraged, you have another video that speaks to me. Thank you.
Great advice, as always. Re: meal planning & prep-my mom used to say that if you have just one thing prepared to eat, it’s so helpful. Also, I have an Instant Pot & use it often. I’m about to give our daughter a surprise gift early in the new year: freezer-prepped meals that she can throw into her Instant Pot on those crazy days. I have the time now to do this since I’m retired, but she’s in that busy phase of having 2 active kiddos. Love your videos, & you are so pretty!
With kiddies (4 of them) long grown and moved away, I am so DONE with cooking! My meal planning consists of letting my husband do it all unless we're having company. I grow the food (as much as possible) and he prepares dinner. I do the baking and food preservation, but no more cooking on a nightly basis.
That is an amazing gift for a mom! Food!
This may sound crazy but I need 10 hours of sleep a night. I fought it for years but once I started owning it, I feel so much better.
Me too.
I just wanted to say thank you for making your videos. They have really helped me with my hording problem.
No I knew the clean the sink was coming.😂 Thanks Kelli
Routine and consistency is also a key foundation for children too. We had a mostly pleasant time when my three were little because of routine and consistency, with our days. Naps and bedtime came easily. It helped us all cope and be our best. Thanks Callie !
Totally agree with that. I always followed routines with my two when they were little. My kids always went to bed happily and we (mostly -- lol) were out the door on time in the morning with a minimum of fuss. The backbone of all these were routines and setting things up (meals, backpacks, clothing to wear) ahead of time. I also instituted the Fly Lady system and actually thinking of bringing it back now that its just me and husband. I still shine the sink at night!
Sometimes if I am really tired I used to leave the sink for morning, but after watching your videos I determined to clean the sink every night. Now I cannot sleep without cleaning the sink and stove. Thanks so much for your very practical videos.
Kellie, I must have been taking everything you have been saying in your videos sunk into my brain, because I can honestly say I do 80% of this video as a routine of my daily life.
No I don't have a little children running around. I'm retired. This can either make my life lacking where I can put it off for later or even worse, tomorrow. But I know I can't fall into that slump.
Your videos keep me going! I want to clean and realize (because I live alone) that if I don't clean it up, it will stay there just as it is. If I don't put that cup in the sink...it will sit there till I do!
You have been an inspiration to me. Thank you!!!
Love from Florida
I started using Fetch cos of your channel and it's life changing lol. So easy!
I have to make my to do list the night before. Otherwise I can’t sleep. I keep trying to make this mental list while I lay there longing for sleep. It helps me relax to know I’m not forgetting anything. It’s already written down. PS what to have for dinner every night is the worst thing EVER!
I've been watching your videos for years, and I have ADHD. Your tips and organizational tools really help me stay on top of things, and also give the motivation to consistently keep up with home's cleanliness. Your videos are precise, you have a nice clear speaking voice, every video is interesting and I know I'm getting solid life advice. Hopes this makes sense. :)
Not only does it make sense but it is very articulately well said! 👍
Good stuff girl!! keeping me motivated. Merry Christmas! 🎄
I feel this is great advice. DO YOU FEEL THIS WOULD WORK when your job is inconsistent? I have to work different shifts every week? I really agree with the getting dressed tip. Once I put on my tennis shoes I’m ready to hit the ground running.
Same 🥲
I agree, I work 3-4 12 hour hour night shifts a week🥱
I think routines do work in that case too. You just leave out the "get up at the same time everyday" bit. But even through the clock shows different times, your routine could be consistent. Like, waking up, airing the room, making the bed, doing some exercise, eating breakfast for example. You know, doing the very same things in the very same order. Of course, this example is an ideal one, for a lot of people, the wake up routine most likely starts with drinking coffee and checking out social media, I just wanted to give a more healthy example.
This is very appropriate with holidays and the 2022 approaching. Over the past few month I am no longer a night shifter and routine and consistency are now what I am working towards. My brain is adjusting to sleeping at night but it was a positve change and with patience i will master the sleep schedule. I love lists. I love the Eisenhower Matrix idea. I will try this. Im a visual person. Great tips as always.
The kitchen sink rule has really changed my life 💕
I spend Friday evening searching for new recipes for the next week since I shop on Saturdays. We have 2 meals that are the same every week- Taco 🌮 Tuesday and Pizza Saturday nights. For pizza night for my husband and I , we have a Cauliflower pizza that I make. I am OCD with my sink ! Thanks for the other tips. I'm the worst at to do lists!!
Your ideas are great and easy to do when you're already organized. However, I spent 6 months over the last year in the hospital and evacuating from a wildfire. Just when I thought I could get back to normal, something would happen. Now I have to recover from a septic tank blowout, which will probably be another month. So, I am just now getting all my papers in my den put away (or recycled or shredded). I am now down to 1 pile of things. Next will be my closets, then the garage, attic, basement, storage building. I work until my brain is too tired to go on or I have to do something else, then I make a note and continue on the next day.
I do have a routine of saying my prayers every morning because if I put God first, then everything falls into place. I follow up with taking my medications. I'm trying to plan other routines and I know I'll get there -- unless there's a light at the end of the tunnel that's an oncoming train.
I would love a blogger to do something about how shift workers can create consistent routines. I’m just so stumped since I work rotating 1st 2nd and 3rd shift as a hospital medicine doctor.
I have just been in hospital and found your videos! I am totally inspired and been cleaning my kitchen sink each night. It has definitely inspired me to tidy up more frequently around the house. I am a messy person so finding a place for everything is definitely a work in progress. Thanks so much
Thanks, Kallie! Your great Mom energy, upbeat attitude, and philosophy of slow accretion of good habits are just the flourish I need to continue becoming more organized in 2022!
I love those clear storage bins with the little door.
Good ideas! Some I do already like cleaning the sink, meal planning, etc. These are so important. I really enjoy all your videos.
Not even a minute into the video and you are already getting into the content 👏👏👏
I love the scientific facts that you add to your videos.
These tips are going to be a big help but one thing I struggle with is a routine with sleeping. My husband and I are night shifters so my household works a bit differently when it comes to that. I think having a routine at least for my toddler would help tremendously. However, I will do my best to get my toddler on a sleep schedule because it is so needed!
Great video! I look forward to your information and admire the way you present it. I am a pretty productive and organized person, but I always get new insights and even encouragement from your work. We can always improve our systems and routines, I think. Thanks!
10 great tips. Unfortunately for me the sleep routine is not/has not been possible for years. Insomnia sucks! I do agree that life is much better when you have a routine. 👍🏾
I’ve had insomnia since I can remember. It’s horrible, plus I do online shopping when I can’t sleep.
I went to dollar tree not to long ago and found a sticker saying But first, coffee. (What a coincidence.) I instantly was reminded of you. Kallie, thank you so much for your videos. They're my motivation!
I was pleased to learn that I do a lot of those things and it really does make a difference. Especially the meal planning
I love this. What a great reset for the New Year😊
This is a great boost for the New Year!
In all my many years of self improvement and productivity hacks, this is the first ime I'm hearing about Eisenhower Matrix! This is brilliant. I'm always skipping the things that are the most important to me in favor of the more urgent. Thank you for this. These are the kind of things that make your channel one of my favorites.
Thanks! Loving your videos. They are making positive influences in my life: 2 grown boys, disabled husband, faithful dog. Merry Christmas!
Bravo for everything
The advice for washing the dishes every night,really really helps me
Merry Christmas Kallie!🎅🎄⛄ Thanks for all the EPIC inspiration and ideas over the years! Have a safe and blessed holiday season! 🤗💗
Great tips! I know you have a meal planning system, but I love Plan to Eat. It makes meal planning and grocery shopping so much easier and faster!
I have been in retail most of my career. There's rarely a chance that "regular schedule" happens if you want to be a team leader/boss. I have noticed that whomever is closing, seems to be opening the following morning. That is udderly stupid but I have seen it in restaurants, stores, and even as a merchandiser.
I have a set schedule. It really helps me. I'm not a leader 😆
I worked in retail. Yes, close at 10 one night, then open at 8:30 the next morning. Why do they do that? I finally volunteered to close every night. I was able to keep my body and routine on a schedule.
“Routining consistency”. This is so important to all alleviate stress. Just gotta tell you that after watching your video a couple weeks ago about emptying the kitchen sink before bedtime is a wonderful “new habit” that I’m trying to adhere to.
I think imma need to watch this video every day next year to keep me on task. Your videos are so wonderful. One of my goals this year is to create and maintain a daily routine and weekly cleaning routine and these tips are 😘🤌 just magic.
I love your videos ! They're absolutely awesome to learn from and love your energy and sense of humor! I'm always so positive after watching them !
Great video. I find routines keep me on track, and give me time to have fun.
You are so awesome! I’m always so inspired and motivated after watching your videos
Really great advice. I try to do a lot of these but I could still improve. Thanks. I really love all of your videos.
I’ve only been following some advice from some of your videos for about a week now and my house and life already feels so much easier and less cluttered.
Haha I normally don’t comment but I’m literally cleaning my sink for the night right now. Thanks for making me feel like I’m killing it over here!!
Your tips are always so helpful! I've already learned so much from you, like having a weekly/daily planner and To-Do list, and it's helped me so much! I'm no longer a headless chicken :).
Putting out my outfit the day before - that's something that hasn't worked that well for me... What I want to wear (when I go to work at least, when I'm only out to run errands I Grab a sweater and a pair of jeans and there's your outfit 😄) depends a lot on what mood I'm in, so it's often happened that I put out an outfit the night before, and the next morning I looked at it and simply wasn't feeling it at all. The best method for me is to think of some outfit ideas the evening before and then See what I like the next morning. And I always have some failsafe options that I only have to pull out and I know it'll bei find.
Me too. . .if my laundry is kept up there's no need to lay out tomorrows outfit since all of them are available. In the mornings i just grab whats appropriate for the day & weather.
When the laundry gets way behind THAT'S when i have to plan ahead.
Same here. I base what I"m going to wear each day on what I feel like wearing that day , the weather, & if I'm going to be running errands. Same way for me when it comes to meals. Meal planning would never work. I get hungry for certain things & if I eat something else, it doesn't even taste good. I don't enjoy it. I need to eat what I'm hungry for right then. I don't even know the day before what that might be ! But I have some prepared foods in the freezer & a well-stocked food supply so a meal can be put together quickly....& at sale prices usually.
@@patwagner9308 ... well said! .. i think the same way as you about meal planning!
@@briannab5296 Thank you! Yeah, meal planning works great for a lot of people....but I'm not one of them. Fun to hear someone else feels the same way!
Great advice!! Thanks for the handy tips!!
I have really appreciated your idea of “ My tomorrow me will appreciate what the today me gets done that will help me tomorrow
such great advice, love listening to your channel
It was an really inspiring video!!👏👏
Where are those containers from at 7:30?!? I need them in my life!!!
Kali you put out so much content I don’t even care if you’re just talking about cereal ingredients I stay watching whatever content you put out and am always happy when I see you have a new video !!! Your videos are the best! Happy Holidays to you and your family
Thank you for the encouragement to get organized for the day! I need this!
Have a very Merry Christmas
I am a few days into keeping my sink clean and it’s been helping me tremendously!!!
I’m sooooorryyyy did I miss the part where you met RACHEL RAY!!!! How freaking cool is that!
'Like a chicken without a head' is actually a Dutch expression :D We use it all the time.
Fabulous suggestions! Thank you!
Great reminders 👌
The sleep thing sounds cool hopefully I can do it one day. My baby thinks different lol
Beautiful tips on organizing, to do list and prioritizing.
Pretty much, I do what is more important or needed, to be done first.
I feel good and accomplished, when I follow routine and habits. Thank you. 🙏👏👍🌟❤️🎄🎁🎅
Ahhh I love your take on life hacks! I always seem to have at least 1 really amazing take-away from every video :) That matrix to prioritize things just rocked my world! I'm cool with listing things out and making schedules/plans, but sometimes I get bogged down with what to do first, or how to prioritize things (especially when I work full time from home AND run a household LOL) This matrix idea is going to be incorporated into my daily life now!
Krys .. i have tried every method in the world to prioritize my to do lists and what has helped the most is after writing out my to-do's i use a yellow highlighter to mark the 3 most important or urgent things that must get done. Then when i complete them i cross them out with a purple highliter, then use the yellow one to mark the next 3 most important things and so on.
I'm going to try the matrix idea but seems like it would require a lot of shifting to-do's around since some tasks become more urgent and some urgent ones become not so important after awhile.
Yes you got me right together about the kitchen sink! 😂 no matter how tired i am, waking up to a clean sink is a serious win. Thank you
This is my favorite video you’ve ever done! Thank you :)
We lay out my Hubbies clothes too! We have a prep rule "Clean as you go" & Luv waking up to a sparkling sink! & A ready to go Cafê Station💋Great Segment as usual
I desperately wish I had that consistency with my sleep schedule again! My second child is only a couple months old and what a difference it makes to have your sleep all over the place. Can’t wait for full nights!
Love u. Kitchen sink is my new routine. Changed my life!
I started to give everything a "home" and it really helps! Love it!
Ouch .. my biggest downfall my ENTIRE adult life is not being able to find a 'home' for all my stuff. . . (and yes i relentlessly purge, declutter & downsize all the time, and it doesn't help).
Ooh I never thought about my sleep pattern this is something I’m going to work on, thanks!
You have started with Flylady and expanded/made it better! I love that. And forming habits is like having your own personal assistant. If you are not expending energy thinking of what to do next is it really work? A lot of what one does in “autopilot” (habit) is like meditation. Calming, soothing and balancing. And one habit leading to others is so pleasing! Thank you!
I agree to the clean sink! Good job!!
It’s funny how good having a clean kitchen sink makes you feel and Carrie’s over to other parts of your life.
Keep up the awesome videos 😊
Absolutely tremendous ! Thank you !
I loveee your videos! You make so simple to understand and apply! 🥰 Kisses from Brazil 🇧🇷! 😘
Thanks Kallie! I love your videos. One they are informative and two because you’re funny. 😁 I always hit like before I even watch it because I know I will and I don’t want to forget. Lol
I’ve always heard about the sleep thing but at 61 do you think I go to bed every night at the same time and get up every morning at the same time…even on weekends? 😳😬 Um that would be a hard no! 🤣😂 I’ve never ever been a morning person. I’ve never went to bed early unless I was real sick. Lol
Probably explains why I trudge through life half asleep but oh well. 🤣🤣
I need to start meal planning though. No kids at home anymore and it’s so hard to cook for just the two of us so we don’t eat very healthy. I just haven’t found the motivation to do it. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎅🏼
Wait! Fetch works on Amazon purchases??! 🤯 I love Fetch! I think the receipts have to be scanned within 10-14 days, or something like that , so my Black Friday extravathon receipts are probably too old. Good to know! Thanks so much for sharing.
Edit: I just liked my Amazon with my Fetch and you have 30 days from ordering to scan. 🙌🏻
I'll try the clean sink thing again. I've failed with it about 8 times in my life, but I really wanna be more like you in terms of organization
Never realized you were a fellow left hander. Cool. Unlike you though, I'm not creative at all. Which is why I thank you for your inspiring and informative videos!
These are the things I hate and make me understand why my almost 12 year old turn into a toddler. I'm almost 50, and I have had a hard time with adulting. I really admire your because of this. Thank you for sharing and making a video on this silly topic every so often. I will re-watch and hear it, as if I do I will be able to do one of these tasks easier for at least one time. I am going to load up the dishwasher as I re-watch/listen.
lol - yes - 10 days minimum to get myself sorted every day. lol. You're a huge inspiration to me Kallie - Thanks so much for sharing! ❤ Mel in Australia 🇦🇺🦘🐨
