I recently changed all clocks in our house (except my phone and watch) so the kids think its 20 minutes later than it is. This way, they go to bed earlier and get ready for school sooner. It's the best thing I've done to help things to run smoothly around here!
Genius! Totally stealing that idea in a few years! 😂
I do the same thing! No more running late 😂
Aaaaaa a wax.a pin c do n lip po N
My mom does the same thing for many years already.-)
Wish there had been organizing and cleaning videos 30 years ago. I think it would have helped! Great video 😊😊
My top tip is “never leave a room empty handed”. Whenever you are going somewhere in the house, car or garden, always have a look if there is anything you can take with you. It keeps the clutter down. My husband and son join in now too and it’s really made a difference.
Soooo hellful
That’s SUCH a good tip! 🙌🏼 it would help so much if all the kids and hubby did this too.
Thankyiu for sharing this 🥰
Such a good tip! Defo going to try this one x
You are totally right about it. Unfortunately, I am the only one is having this habit at home.
My mum used to say never go upstairs empty handed, its stuck with me for 50 years
Ahh this woman, just listening to Emily makes me feel more organised. Really enjoy your videos. Super friendly non-judgemental vibe. Love it
Amen to that
Best tip (that works for me as a Christian mom) waking up at least an hour earlier than my toddler to read my devotional and do my prayers. ⭐️✌️
I do this too. I find spending time immersing myself in scripture before my four kiddos aged between 9-2 wake up really helps me have a great day.
Amen
Love this.
As a Muslim I do the same,praying early morning and reading my holy book
@@arshirashid7240 yup. Thats why we have subuh prayer..
Im a single parent and studying midwifery full time and I have barley any energy left for cleaning and basic house work stuff. I needed this video to get back into being organised. Thank you!
Wish the best for you...! Take it one step at a time
Stay strong. You will pull through..remember to prioritise well.dont be harsh on yourself.
I was a student nurse with a 1 year old and I won’t lie, I lived in total mess and filth lol. Prioritise your studies and baby :) rest can wait. Now I’m a health visitor and can afford a cleaner :) will all be so worth it xx
All the best! So amazing what your doing x
I have very little help during the working week and what works for me organisationally is after the child falls asleep for the night to do only what's necessary for the night and for right after waking up and shift the rest to the morning and rather wake up earluer before the child in the morning. Cause in the evening I'm so exhausted that everything takes 2-3 times longer. Also I combine food delivery or half pre-made foods(frozen veggies, fish sticks, baby purees etc.) with home made food to save some time and energy. But I obviously have some level of help around so I cannot imagine how difficult it is to be the only parent, big respect for that and all the best!
-The ‘one touch rule’ is amazing. Basically means that when you pick something up put it away in its designated space immediately.
-Have a stair basket at the top of the stairs and the bottom! Makes transporting items so easy
-Taking out the kids outfits the night before
-Setting up a breakfast tray with all the required cereal, cutlery, bowls etc the night before (for busy mornings)
-Fold tumble dried laundry immediately after drying. It will all be softer and less creasy. You can even get away with not ironing some things
I love this, particularly that it includes a section that emphasises that being organised and prepared is a family effort. Dads can help, kids can help and everyone should feel this is their family space that can and should contribute to. There are lots of amazing tips in here - so motivating - but as much as we all want to be super mum, we should aim to be super families, super parents, super kids. It'd be amazing if your hubby could make a video on how he helps, I feel some families lack this inspiration.
Having a dedicated space for everything, helps just speed o the cleaning process
One day my daughter asked how I cleaned up so fast in our living room and I told her " because everything has a place to go."
Makes the process so much easier
My top three things to do each day when I had a baby were 1. Having a shower and getting dressed 2. Feeding and looking after my baby and 3. Listening to the news (so at least I knew what was happening in the world)! I found those first years terrifying and I sometimes struggled to get through the day but we made it. My girls are now 23 and 27! I did many of the things you mentioned but it took time to figure out how to get (some of the stuff) done. I swear it took me 20 years to figure out I could get so much done in only ten minutes. It really is a lifesaver!
I absolutely love that you let mum's know it is impossible to do everything and that is ok! Too much pressure for mum's to think that if their not perfect at everything their not a good mum. Keep doing the best you can. That's all that matters ☺️☺️☺️
Love the ‘quiet time’ tip. Mum guilt is the worst!! You’ve made me feel better 😘
Swapping house cleaning with you and a friend is a good thing to do aswell. Because we never like cleaning our own house, but we are always happy to help a friend :)
Thank you, great video. The thing that helps me the most is doing one job each day eg the bathroom,food shop, hoovering.
I always make Sunday’s a no housework day. It works for my family 😊😊 The best thing is to do what works for your family
as all households run slightly differently.
Toy rotation is a game changer! I have 4 children and this has made my life 100 times easier !
I always ever since you mentioned it waaayyyy back when follow the "one touch" method, i can't tell you how something so simple has helped me so much! I have 2 little boys Frayser(3) and Freddie (8months)and your channel has changed my life 🥰😍👍xx
Ah Emma I couldn't ❤️this message enough! Thank you, it means the world. Thanks for watching xx
Yes!!!! This one was a life saver
What is the one touch method please?❤️
@@charntellamb3980 its basically touch something once... for example if your coat needs putting away instead of hanging it on a bannister put it straight away so its only been touched once.. your then not doubling up doing things (if that makes sense?!) X

You're honestly my favourite lady to watch on RUclips, your positive mind set and the love you have for your family is really inspiring to me. I have 2 children and 3 step children and my partner struggles with his health as he is disabled, and whenever I am having a difficult day and getting annoyed with myself for not completing all the daily tasks I will watch your videos and they always lift my spirits! Much love xxxx
Hi Emily, I just want to say thank you for all the tips that you share. Motherhood is sometimes overwhelming and your smile and your videos keep me motivated and organized. Thanks again, love your family 😘
Since becoming a mum last year Iv just absolutely loved allllll of your videos - everything is so thorough and well thought out and helpful. Really appreciate all of your ideas 😀 xx thank you xx
I have been watching you for years.. you have motivated me loads to just get up and get things done .. I find your videos very therapeutic.. my favourite RUclipsr by far x
I try to stay organized (when I can) 21 month old and 11 week old.. my goal is the 5 minute rule. Most task take around that amount of time so when I catch myself having a five minute window I try to do what is visibly needing done first.
I truly needed this! I have a 2.5 yr old and an 8 month old and I struggle to find enough time to juggle work, the house, the kids, the hubby etc!
Happy 7 years on youtube Emily! ❤️ xx
Wow Loredana you have a lot to deal with. You shouldn't be juggling a husband though!! 7 years, thank you, I cannot believe it! Thanks for watching and always commenting xx
You’re doing a great job Mammy! 👍👍
I need this in my life more than anything else 😭😭 I've written down some of ur points and try to do them as much as possible from now .... I feel better even watching this 😍🥰
Hi emily. I am always up at 5am. This gives me time to do housework meal prep and sort my dogs before work if i am on days/earlys.
Your videos are just great. X
Just wanted to say how amazing you are. When I having a bad day I put one of your videos on and it helps to balance out all the negativity in my life. 🥰 Thank you for doing what you do, it means a lot.
For me one of the main organizing "goals" that works great for me is to not cause extra work for myself.
- I hang the laundry straight, so I don't have to iron it, and just fold it neatly.
- I clean the tip/corner and bottom of the ketchup, maple sirup, milk, honey ... before putting it away (this way, I don't get the fridge/ cupboard dirty as fast)
- If I do a big shopping and the fridge is emptier than usual, I quickly wipe down everything that I feel could use that extra sweep (so I then place clean objects into an always-clean-fridge)
- I clean surfaces after using them (or dishes while cooking) so I don't dirty other things from them
- I have a special way for fast-folding clean clothes I either tried on in a hurry and decided not to wear, or clothes I wore for only a small period of time and that are clean; I also have a dedicated spot for them (this way I don't have extra unnecessary laundry and damage my clothes less by washing them less. I often opt for a "worn but not stinky" shirt when I'm going to work out etc)
- I fill in the dishwasher in a way that it will be easier or faster for me to unload
- I also tend to match clothes (category-wise or person-wise) in the laundry so I feel like I have less piles when folding it
- If my shoes are dirty I wash them along with my hands when I come home (the thoroughness of the wash depends partly on the time and how soon I will need to wear them again), so they have time to dry out but also aren't "left unattended to"
It's a bunch of silly little things but I have marketed to myself (as a lazy person) as ones that will spare me some work and make my life easier :D and they keep me calmer and happier ! ^^
I always quote your “be kind to your future self!”.....so easy and important!
Thanks a lot for these great tips. My take home tip is meal planning and meal preping. Its something i have been trying to do and i always find that the weeks i meal plan am normally more orgnaised and have peace of mind.
Hi Emily! My four year old daughter and I love your channel so much! We look forward to your videos and she always asks “can we watch an Emily video please??” Thank you for all you do, you always cheer me up 🥰. We love your family!
Oh bless her Ashton 😘 Thanks for both watching xx
This video was so helpful! I’m loving reading all of the tips in the comments too! I have a very busy 19 month old so I’ll definitely be using a lot of these tips.
My best tip is do as much of the housework before nap time/sleeping and try to encourage your child to help. That way when they’re asleep you can focus on other things you need to do instead of doing the dishes or laundry etc
How lucky are you that Matt helps you in the house and actually does the food shopping. My husband is very old fashioned. He works so a woman’s role is to see to the house, kids, food and shopping. Lol 😂 it’s definitely non stop. I have 2 year old twins too and 2 older kids the house never feels completely tidy. Love your tips though 😘
💯 toy rotation! Also saves me money because my kids feel like they are getting new toys. We change out the bins on the first of the month. It’s faster to clean too.
Passing by watching Emily and your best tips for getting organized. Thank you for this tips..very useful
You are such a diligent and hardworking mum. Wow thank you so much for these wonderful tips ❤
It is very apparent you put great effort and time into your content/videos! This video was very helpful for me being a single, working boss mama of two under 7. Thank you, Emily! Many blessings to you and your beautiful family! ♥️
Thank you Emily!!! 😀 you have the best video for Mums!
Thank you so much for Tipps and for sharing your experiences with us 💝 this video was exactly what I needed right now!
Lots of love from Germany 🤗
Thank you Emily, this was really helpful, motivating and also comforting. Thank you for sharing.
Love the idea of the snack boxes for the children, I often hear my daughter saying the kids have eaten her out of house and home so I have shared this with her and she loves the idea 😊😊
I always hear my grandmother's words "don't go empty handed" in my mind so I try to combine tasks or take things where they need to go. It reminds me of your tip some time back of the "one touch method" that stuck with me. Thank you, Emily for all the tips and life lessons, they make me feel more prepared as a mum of two boys 4.5 years and 9 months)💙 love your channel and keep up the great content
I have watched this video before, Emily - need to watch it again feel like I am drowning juggling house, kids and work! Love your videos, they are so relatable. Love your Happiness Jumper too, cheered me up on a very cold morning in Scotland!!
Love the idea to pick a day to clean, and change your mindset. I feel like I get to the weekend and have the expectation to clean the whole house, batch cook and have loads of family time. Usually expect to be able to wash my hair without kids under my feet too. Then end up feeling disappointed I don’t get it all done. My husband always says I give myself to much to do 🤦🏼♀️Thanks Emily. Great ideas 🙌🏼❤️
Yes, ! Kids doing chore gives them confidence.. 😃
I use lots of these tips but one that really works for me is I have my home divided into 9 zones. Our school terms are 9 or 10 weeks long so each week during I'll do those irregular chores in one of those zones. So it might be week one kitchen and I'll do the oven and pantry, week 2 lounge so I'll pull all the furniture out and vaccumm behind. How much gets done may depend on my week. Then in the holidays I get my kids to help do their rooms.
I appreciate your relaxed attitude towards living. Some people get so uptight. That's my top tip. Accept that you can't do everything. Do what you can for the season of life you're in and be kind to yourself. 😊🤎🙏🏾
Really love the tidy up tips that you implemented in your family! I need to try that so cleaning doesn’t always feel like a huge job
Your skin looks so beautiful! Thank you for all these great tips!
The best tip I liked is prioritise ur things to do and start with the most u resent.
For everyone who is watching this video: those tips really work but be patient and forgiving to yourself and slowly get one by one into your life. I have incorporated bunch of Emilie’s tips through past 3 years starting with one stepson in my life and having 2 stepkids and 2 babies on my own by today. So total 4 kids and a lot of chaos :) as example one of the latest things I have added to my daily routine is speed clean and I e been speed cleaning the kitchen right now while watching this video and did prep chicken for the dinner. And I don’t feel tired or bored anyhow because I was listening motivating video. Often I watch travel vlogs to make my mind totally away from the chores and feel even refreshed after such video and speed clean mix. And I’m not the person who likes to clean :) the next two are meal prep and toys rotating in my list to involve into our big family life. Thanks Emily for all the good tips♥️
Interesting. My favourite is change your mindset. It's good that you placed it as number one on the list. Number 1 sets the stage for all the others that will follow. Good and lasting suggestions and realistic too.
i was so in need of this video. 😔😔 You always know what we need most.. Thanks Emily 💓💓💓
😘 Thanks for watching xx
Love the way you explained. Thank u
You are so positive and lovely Emily ! 😊😃
Loved this and needed it so much this week!
Thanks Emily! Loved loved loved all the tips! Thanks so much! Your work makes my life better!
These are very good habits. I always write a list and set a timer for tasks, or otherwise I get distracted by other things . If I’m putting the kettle on or something in the toaster I will do something for them few mins could be folding some washing or putting washing up away . I get everything ready the night before as well . I follow the organised mum method and just do small amounts of cleaning a day this works for me and helps me to keep on top of cleaning without feeling like I’m cleaning constantly xx
Fab tips , I did your decluttering challenge and found it helpful and therapeutic, I actually enjoyed it so much. Going to try the meal prep one next , thanks for all the tips 💋 xx
I started following The Organised Mum Method for cleaning my house and it's totally changed my life! As someone who hates housework, it's just genius!
I’m pleased RUclips suggested this and you! Love being an organised mum but need all the tips!
Love it ❤. Great video. I needed this. Coz I always struggle to prioritize. Thanks so much Emily.
Thank you so much for making this video. It really is helpful. I am a new mom with toddler, i moved to another country and i have to do all by myself now, i used to have helper before. I need to organise everything. I'm gona apply your tips. Thanks a lot. Stay healthy 💕😘
Thanks Emily! All these tips are so helpful ❤️
All in all you are so amazing!
After watching your video I don’t watch anything else and just start doing something. Can be tidy up, cooking, me time or even just spending time with kids. Absolute Therapy 😘
After I watched your video I just realized that just waking up before my one year old boy, I think everything would be much easier for me. I am a 46 years old woman with a small very active baby and my energy is not as much as yours. But you give very nice tips and ideas that I can swear will help a lot. xoxo!
I’m trying to get into the habit of “do it now” which saves time instead of putting something down before actually putting it away. I also like to set timers to get things done
Love all your advice
Emily I must say your approach is very realistic and your delivery is matured. I am from Ghana and this is so applicable to my context.
This video couldn’t of come at a better time! Really struggling at the moment being a single mummy to a 1 year old! My house is an absolute mess and it’s having an effect on my mental health. Amazing tips & information, thank you!!!
Great idea with this challenge I'm going to try
The self care tip is so important 💖
I am so excited for this premier Emily I love all your vids xx
Really grateful for this video. it helped me address a personal need to conquer this area.
Love your HAPPINESS top and the big SMILE on your pillow. Positive reinforcements.
BLESSINGS
Great tips, thanks for sharing! ❤
.... Thank you for this video. You always get me back in the groove or forgive myself for being out of the "groove". No clue how I would have gotten through my first 3 years of parenting without you. The face mask part just hit home for me hahahaha :) I love them and I think I'll go do one now. Feeling grateful for that too.
Like how you are real and give intelligent practically tips.
PS I struggle w putting a load in every three days any further advice regarding that 🙄
Can you do a video on “organising my pantry” I saw your video on how to organise a fridge and it got me wondering about a pantry xx
She has done a video about a pantry I thing
I need a pantry first, ask me again in about a year Halima! Thanks for watching xx
lovely
Love this video! I need more organization in my life.
My tip is to make small routines. For example; in the morning when I get up and get the kids breakfast and make lunches etc.. I do the same thing every morning in order. I feel more organized that way and I usually don’t forget something.
Extremely helpful for me. I have a choatic routine. I will be implementing these tips practically asap.
You are my hero. Always inspiring. Lots of love.
You are a life changer . Great video!
Your videos are the besttttt. Thank you for the great tips. Hard to get out of a rut sometimes. I’m also a mum of 3. And it can get chaotic at times 😂 really enjoy having 5 minutes to watch your videos and relax xx
Definitely needed to hear its ok to not finish everything in one day, I’ve been tryna figure out how to make things flow easier as a mother of 3 and balance other things , this video was very helpful, thank you!
Thank you, Emily!!!!🥰🥰❤️❤️
I forgot about rotating my kids toys, I have to get back to this .. I found it difficult to delegate, I have to implement this in my family !!
Lovely to watch your videos!!!🥰❤️
I will try the self care one because sometimes i get so caught up with life that i forget how to look after myself not worrying about other people xx
Yes you need to take care of yourself bye queen or king👑👑👑
@@stvrrlight7 Ty ☺️
This is why I love your channel ❤️❤️❤️
Thankyou so much for this video very much needed as just recently been feeling a little overwhelmed and unmotivated with the organisation of family life and household tasks an trying to manage it all just feels like a mammoth task right now but having watched this video now as always when I watch your videos just get that new found inspiration again and motivation to get back on track again. so Thankyou 👍 (iv even saved it to look back on for the next time) lol 😂
I love the idea of the snacks boxes! Not only for children but also for us! Great video! Thank you so much! 🥳🥳🥳
This was very helpful thank you! ♥️
Loved the video,so helpful. I had updated on my RUclips showing me how long to wait to view it. Was counting the second lols. Finally got hold of your laundry basket you own from H&M was in stock, so happy with it thank you so much for sharing the information. Take care thank you for the tips. Xoxo
Lovely video Emily ❤
For me, what helps (if you have the space for it), keep a spray bottle of detergent in each bathroom so whenever I have time in the day I can do a quick clean everyday.
You had a lot of great tips! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you Emily, love your videos ❤
Just found your channel, absolutely love this video. I have a 2yr old and 3yr old, they keep me busy with work. Thank you for this video.
Thank you very much, I just lovved your ideas.
thanks for being so thoughtful with your tips. i always find your videos helpful :)
Great tips Emily!
So so helpful thank you!
Omg Emily our handwriting is almost IDENTICAL. I literally had to replay your list and look at it again because I felt Ike I was looking at one of my own lists!! So crazy! These are great tips too. I definitely need to work on improving my mindset!
Wow! Thanks so much you are such a super mum and I love how great you are with your children. I also would love to know what your skincare is?! Thanks for making these videos they are such a sanity restorer to a frazzled mum! X
Organisation tip: use a bullet journal, but don’t worry about it looking pretty or messing it up. It’s there to be used and you can’t use it daily if your bullet journal routine takes an hour a day. (That’s not to say that you can’t make a pretty page if you’re in the mood or if you have time).
I loved all your tips. I like the most is self-care which we don't do when we become mom. So I definitely need to focus on that too. ☺️☺️
