Definally social media...great video by the way....just a suggestion. I love your channel but i just find it because one of the videos pop up out of no where...it would be nice if you change the name of the channel to something more atractive or appeling to the public so it would be easy to find you. Love of your content.
Great video. My biggest distractions - friends and family calling out of the blue AND notifications on my phone. I've turned off most notifications so I can stay focused. Also getting better about letting calls go to voicemail until I have open time on my schedule to return calls.
Great tips. I love how you talked about the distractions. Truly they can make us inefficient if we are not very careful. Planning meal is a great idea.
Working on meal planning. With laundry, I only have 2 piles. Thick fabric and thin/light fabric. Thick: towels, jeans, jogging pants, sweaters; Thin: t-shirts, socks, underwear... with just the 2 of us there’s usually 2 loads a week depending on towels. If the bedding and thick pile is to big then there’s 3 loads. With distractions, I now turn on a clean with me or other video where I don’t have to watch it, just listen along while I sweep or fold laundry.
Informative video! I agree that there are lots of distractions (especially technology these days) and we just need to manage it so that we can get things done.
I'm so guilty if wasting time. I usually do really well but burn myself because I dont take any breaks then I crash and start wasting a ton of time. I have to find some balance.
I hit a big like the minute you said “distractions” ✅ thank you for the reminder! Yes, I agree 100% we should try to use tech to our advantage to make our lives easier 👍 over just scrolling through social media all day (we all have those days or been there before 🤦♀️) Amen! I also don’t separate darks it lights ..such a time waste lol ..I do however wash bedsheets and towels together☀️ Great tip on multi purpose cleaners 😉 As always great video. ❤️
Thanks for sharing Shirlee! My biggest distractions are all mentioned by you anyway still trying hard to built a good habit and discipline myself doing all these job even in my second year of being fully stay at home.
I can't agree with the tip to not sort laundry, and I wonder why it has been a problem for me and not you? I find that jeans release a lot of dye which turns other clothes gray over time. Also, denim is so sturdy, especially the kind with rivets, that it will shred more delicate fabrics especially anything with lace or printed logos or thin knits. The only reason I sort towels into a separate load is to avoid their lint getting on things which might hold on to lint, or because they dry so much slower. I do sort some whites into a separate load if I intend to bleach them. Mostly for me that means cotton socks, or stained white towels/washcloths. Many fabrics should not be bleached, even if the color is white, so I don't call that the "white" pile, but the "bleach" pile.
It amazes me that people in other countries are so reliant on dishwashers. In the UK no one has dishwashers in the house or apartment etc unless they have a big family or some other reason to use a tonne of dishes. Sure restaurants and hotels etc have them, but at home the only dishwasher is called get off your ass and do it yourself. It's also said that dishwashers are more economical than washing them by hand, but I disagree because you have to rinse the dishes in the first place then run up an electric and potentially water bill in order to use the dish washer, but ashing them by hand you use less water and a little gas or electric bill if you're washing in warm or hot water.

My biggest distractions are definitely youtube and facebook!
Those are big ones for me too!

Yup!! I fall trap to family and friend calls too!! I say "I'll only take for a few minutes" but that never happens.

Love the video, my biggest distraction is definitely RUclips and I never finish everything I want in the day!
Thank you!! I have the same problem. 🙈
Great tips. I love how you talked about the distractions. Truly they can make us inefficient if we are not very careful. Planning meal is a great idea.
Meal planning is one of my least favorite things to do but it does help a lot through out the week.
Need more girls like you. I have been yelled at for saying I want to have a house wife.
That's awful. I take pride in being a house wife. I love serving my husband and family.

Meal planning too me some time to get the hang of. I love your laundry system. Thank for sharing with us!
I try avoiding turning on the TV at all during the week. I am not a SAHM, but I still struggle with being a modern mom. 😅BTW, I LOVE Mint! ♥
Mint is awesome!! It really helps with my budgeting.
Informative video! I agree that there are lots of distractions (especially technology these days) and we just need to manage it so that we can get things done.
Absolutely Scarlet balance is key 💛
Shirlee - say no to distractions - my phone is my biggest nemesis🤗.gonna try google keep 👍🏻
Eli - I love it let me know what you think!
Thanks for sharing Shirley! I've been thinking a lot about distractions and how much time can be wasted in a day.
I'm so guilty if wasting time. I usually do really well but burn myself because I dont take any breaks then I crash and start wasting a ton of time. I have to find some balance.
@@ShirleeAlicia I think that's what is key finding a balance, I too get burnt out.
Yes because burn out is real!
oh that cup of coffee with instagram just hits different in the morning 😅

As always great video. ❤️
Thank you!! Yes me too I will wash towels with my sheets. I saved so much time and money when I stopped washing lights and darks separately.
Wait, so how do your colors not get bleached or dyes not run all over your whites?
