BUT, I did invent something pretty spectacular :)

I've heard procrastination projects described as side-quests. So, you could say that you were in a side quest to make sure the adventuring crew could eat well!
And sometimes ou need to do the side-quests to get the XP for the main one!
@@cabe_bedlam side quest are meant to cheese the main ones
Jaffles are never a side quest
I see you you are also a fan of Inheritance Machining lol
This series is a guide into Laura's descent into madness trying to repair a home
It made me smile, knowing I'm not the only one who gets overwhelmed by projects and turns to procrastination. Thank you for being open about being human.
Laura adding something to a list just to cross it off to prove you accomplished something is such a mood xD
If you ever have a list with nothing checked off yet, this is the thing to do. It's instant productivity, ha!
I do this all the time! It is a quick success and gives you a boost to carry on.
I have done this many times. Lol
I love it!
I totally loved this :)
It's interesting that though you studied design your projects are really in the tradition of found sculpture. There is always a great sense of whimsy in your pieces; that they actually function is like a surprise enclosed in an amusing shell.
"Functional Sculpture" is, I think, the best way to describe your work.
MMakanNNJNNNn😊❤😢🎉
exactly. as a sculpture major myself, i totally agree.
Wanted to say something similar! Laura's side projects are pieces of 'usable art'
Interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing that.
The funny thing is I was procrastinating on a project by watching you all work on a project to procrastinate working on the house. I am honored just to be a part of the process. Thank you.
same.
Same
And I am reading your comment to procrastinate on the stuff I have to do.
This is not procrastination. It is the opposite. It's taking a bummer situation and turning it into laughter, light (!) and inspiration to fuel another year of housebuilding! Way to go, Laura!
I forgot how beautiful the staircase in your house was. Really enjoyed the tiny house series. Looking forward to your genius creativity with the house.
Honestly, I thought that I was an accomplished procrastinator but I see now that Laura is a pro and I am but a noob.
I'd put a hot dog in there
Just means that you're a crastinator.
To make the slide more slippery, try sitting on a piece of waxed paper as you go down. It worked in the ‘50s, so should work now.😊
It's the slide who is too narrow, not a slippery problem 🙃
Silicone spray😉
I remember those days!
Working on the house or not, this is the content we need! Thank you Laura!
I love the mix of German and English. It's good to hear the language, but also the comfort and ease between you and Felix comes through and that's a lovely element ❤
Love it all. Home reno can actually traumatize you, so knowing how to recover from trauma can be very helpful. Also, for planning, I've found writing each step on pieces of paper, so they be moved around to get the correct order is helpful.
I think Laura is still traumatized by the ants. Did you see the look on her face when she thought she saw an ant?, poor thing. I hope the ants don't come back...if they do she needs to get ant and roach powder...
“Home reno can actually traumatize you…” After three whole house renovations in four years, I think this might explain a lot about my brain right now. 😆
Honestly? It was really good to see the frustration and difficulty re-starting. I am waking my shop back up after the winter, and there are a couple half done projects that I am sorta dreading :p
I always enjoy time spent with you and Felex . No time spent with you is ever wasted .
Dear Laura, you‘re doing it for all the people who are struggling with building a house right now, too. You give them hope!
Procrastination is sometimes more about feeling content than about feeling forced to comply. Your time, your rules. We have all felt what you feel. Be good to yourself. This does NOT hinder your creativity...it increases it. You rock! 💕
It makes so much sense that you might be struggling with starting up the house again. Thank you for showing up with your whole self including your struggles.❤
I am absolutely crazy with respect for all that you do! I would like to know how you learned so much at such young age. My absolute favorite channel. Truly. I will follow you forever. I enjoy your creativity and skills and awesome personality, including your fab sense of humor!!!!
Love the "post-apocolyptic but not survival related" vibe 😁 its so fun to watch you build this stuff! Is there anything more fun than following where your imagination leads? I think not
This was brilliant and so much fun lol. I think it needs an alarm/horn/buzzer thing too and link 3 or 4 toasters together so more people can cook and eat together lol. love this
watching your creative thinking process is just as much fun as watching you do the work! I would love to see you do a TED talk on creativity some day.
👍 I wish I could get as much done as you do when I procrastinate! 🤭
You got this Laura, and what you don’t have - you got people to guide/help you. This too will become as awesome as you are! I love the carpentry, a bit of one myself and this is such a fantastic opportunity!
This is the first time I have seen your main house. It is fantastic - just waiting for your magic touch and great sense of style! ❤
Oh man you're in for a treat, you should really watch the whole series on the main house restoration !
As I said during the premiere: you need sanity projects! And, we all love a variety from you
In the times where you feel overwhelmed, that you're out of your depth, and you think "what have I gotten myself into?" In those times remind yourself how much knowledge you're gaining and know that you will be able to do absolutely ANYTHING when this is done! Go get them! You got this!
I love this video. Where else do you see a real depiction of that experience of being overwhelmed by your favorite project, losing all momentum (and some faith), and then tackling the getting back into it. I love that Laura and her channel showcases this, it's actually inspiring without being forced. Thank you for sharing! Hi from DK
Each time, I feel amazed at all the inventive solutions you imagine... And it works! Marvellous. Your tiny house on wheels is that kind of creative achievement that you make. I can't wait to see what's next on the house.
Same thing happened to me lately, I'm building a tiny house and at this point I was just tired and thinking of all the things I had to do made me anxious, because I wanted to do everything at the same time and I couldn't rest because all these things were on my head. I finally just let go on the problems on the inside of the house I couldn't resolve and decided to let my brain rest while doing the outside hoping after some times I'll be ready again to solve these inside problems. It was like a knot in my brain and letting go and give myself some time untied it. Although I put some order in my head and made things step by step even if was little step. Don't give yourself so much pressure, take the time you need, all of this is a marathon not a sprint. Great built requires great patience.
The blue and white checkerd floor is one of the most beautiful floors i've seen 😍😍 are you gonna keep it? It was nice to see Liselotte again ❤️❤️
If it makes lunch more efficient and fun, it can't be procrastination!
I've never before seen an over-engineered toaster, but this one!? Wonderful stuff!
I love those crazy constructions! Jedesmal wenn ich deine genialen Kreationen sehe, denk ich mir, ich muss jetzt auch endlich lernen Metall zu verarbeiten...... ich feiere das soooo! Danke fuer die vielen Inspirationen
Lach - ich schmeiß mich weg. Geht mir genauso.
The tulips are a sign of new life in the house and hope for the future. Wishing you the best!!!
Oh gosh this is so relatable, from my own self build house journey! In fact it's almost a bit triggering to watch 😂 Number 1 rule of self build / refurb is to look after your mental and physical well-being. One day you'll be in the house, warm and cosy, and so proud of what you've done (and so freaking relieved that it's over!).
I get so much done around my house when I am procrastinating from doing something else, but my procrastination accomplishments are nothing as cool as this. #procrastionpriorities, #lollipopsandwiches, #friendswithsandwiches ...totally here for this!
Super inspirierend, wie immer 😊
Ich saniere seit über zwei Jahren ein 70 Jahre altes Haus und hab immer noch ein Stockwerk im Rohbau, ich kann die procrastination sooo gut mitfühlen 😂
P.S.: Unser 5-jähriger liebt dich ganz arg in der Sendung mit der Maus und ist jeden Sonntag ganz traurig wenn du nicht dabei bist, ich sollte dich schonmal fragen ob du nicht öfter dort was basteln kannst!
Your heart smiles
Your face smiles
Your tummy smiles
Love all the hard work
I would go with underfloor heating, it runs at a lower temperature than central heating, i know in Germany you are phasing out oil and gas heating, so an air source heat pump might be the best option
Underfloor heating should be less damaging to the wooden structure because it runs cooler, you don't have a hot radiator next to it
Toastie posicles ? awesome idea, put a stick in each half (one at side, one at front of each) to reduce weight, less risk if falling off ;)
Plus it has a more stable temperature overall, which is really good for wood and furniture
This video was so much fun to watch but girl it's now official! You really ARE all kinds of crazy in the BEST WAY POSSIBLE😍😍
I got weirdly emotional with the walkthrough of the house. I'm so happy for you to have that house, and know that it's going to be amazing once it's done.
Laura, it IS a great house. Yes, its difficult to get back to it - right now I'm procrastinating over a MUCH smaller project! - but you are living, you are learning. And when it's done! Just imagine what it's going to be like standing back, looking at your amazing house and saying "I did that!". Lise Little made you happy. Imagine what Lisa Lotte will be like! You go girl. I have every faith :)
Spring has finally sprung! Vorsprung durch Sonnenschein, you got this!! Can't wait to see Haus Lieselotte in her finest glory, but I'm equally excited to watch the steps you take to get there. Meanwhile I'm so glad you have your tiny house to escape to. It must be so nice to just curl up in there and switch off, leaving all the crazy shiz outside.
„It will be good, it will be good, i just need to get back into it!"
Liebe Laura,
vielleicht ist es nicht das, was Du hören magst. Doch ich finde es schön, Dich auch einmal überfordert zu sehen. Zu sehen, dass es Dir wie uns allen mal geht. Dass auch bei Dir mal was nicht läuft und Dich an den Rand der Verzweiflung bringt.
Und dann ist das so motivierend und kraftspendend, dass Du uns trotzdem mitnimmst, und so unfassbar mutmachend, mitansehen zu dürfen, wie Du Dich nicht unterkriegen lässt.
Dankeschön. Vielen Dank. Das ist so wertvoll.
Alles Gute und viel Kraft.
Lieber Gruß,
Ulrich
The way you touch, and caress parts of your house tells me you love it! The post of the door upstairs betrayed it.
One step at a time. Concentrate on one small job, complete that and move to the next. That way a whole house is built in ‘bite-sized-pieces’.
Love your work 👍
What a wonderful world you have made for yourself. Fun, practical and entertaining. So don't let the obstacles get in your way! Love watching. You, Zyla and Goetz need to do more together, those shows rock .
Life is suprising us every day…keep on doing the things that make you smile! As you said, you are fortunate to be able doing all this creative stuff…so, keep on smiling☺️
You are an inspiration, the struggle to get going again on a MASSIVE project with expense, glitches and big decisions to be made, who hasnt been there! I look forward to seeing you regain the joy you had for Haus Lise Lotte
The Big house resumes!!!!!! I cannot wait! Once you get going I think your excitement and drive will return.
It's a very cool house, was very glad to see it again! But as my father used to say: It's so nice watching other people work 😉 Der Treppenaufgang mit dem Geländer und dem Fliesenboden im EG ist sooo schön!!
Schön, dass es dich gibt 😊
Liebe Laura, ich bin immer wieder von deinen Videos fasziniert. Ich mag was du entwirfst was du baust und deine Art wie du es angehst. Entwerfen planen und alles anders machen.
Procrastination kenne ich bei mir auch sehr gut und erwische mich auch immer wieder dabei.
Das gehört wohl zum Leben dazu.
Es ist egal was andere darüber denken, wichtig bist nur du und wie du damit umgehst.
Wenn du magst, dann fühle dich einfach herzlich umarmt
You know you always need to refresh yourself with the quirky things. Giving yourself a little time to ruminate on next steps with Lise Lotte is time well spent. We’re all with you!
Sooo recognizable!!! Whenever a project is on hold, I need to make a new acquaintance with it. I’m always off track whenever I cannot complete the project in the initial flow.
Laura I need to see this house become a home. You got this. LET"S GO!!!!
The humanity! I think we can all relate to your procrastination but the creativity you put into it so much more fun!
What you do makes ME smile, too. This whole thing started with a toaster, and turned out into an eclectic out-of-this world invention. The bread on stick is genius!
I wish that I was as productive as you when I procrastinate! I usually lie down until the feeling goes away!
When you first walked in, my heart skipped a beat. I was once again in ❤️ love. I was just thinking how beautiful it will be. The really hard work has been found and has been started to be fixed. I can see it now... by the end of this season will be closed in and working on the ins❤. You could use a couple wood stoves😊 for heat!
Lise Little was great but with the weather improving it is time to get back to Liselotte
Don't worry. As soon as you get back into working on the house you will see the progress and find the inspiration to continue on it.
The tulips in the border tell a nice story: Even though winter was rough, they do find the energy to pop out of the ground and flower into something beautiful..
You can do it Laura! I believe in you! I will continue to believe in you!
I'm sending my love and support to you!!!
Laura, I can understand your procrastination with working on your house. It is the beginning of the season that outside work begins and the task very overwelming. I feel your anxiety, because I have an old house that is not nearly finished. Every year at this time I am overwelmed and hesitate to start. Yes, once you start, it will become easier to continue on. So much to do, but the process is as important as the finished product. We are lucky to have an old house in our lives. Enjoy it! I wish I could spend a few days helping you guys, but I live too far away.

I feel like we can tell how much fun everyone is having by how much German is spoken. This was delightful.
Laura, you are so inspiring person! I feel so sorry for your house and wish you a never-ending energy to build your dream house soon! Your team is incredibly supportive! I wish I had such a good friends too.
Don't sweat it, Laura
You can work on whatever you feel like.
This was also fun to watch!
I can see why you and Simone Gertz are friends. Insanely creative. Totally outside the box!
Procrastinating? Naah. Nothing wrong with a one-day project ❤ Plus a portable, independently-powered lunch station sounds like a great idea for a worksite.
Suggest attaching an umbrella for when it rains, cos... sammiches 😊❤
I like that there is a moment where Laura falls in love with the house again, after so much trepidation.
I understand just how daunting the big haus can be, but looking back the progress already made is AMAZING and only bodes well for the future.
It's so important to balance work with fun! I know that I get bored working all the time and need time out to relax and have fun.
You've got this! Excited to see it come to life. But make sure you enjoy your summer too!
The tulips are so pretty. They had to put a smile on your face. I love your roof! It is really beautiful! ❤
Please make sure you ground all the metal parts of that project - connect all the metal with an electrical ground wire. Since you have 220v running to the lights around metal, a fault could make touching any metal part quite dangerous
I really appreciate how you talked through your mindset, how you motivated yourself into getting started again, how you needed to take some first steps to rebuild momentum. I needed to see that so that I can start getting unstuck, myself.
Laura, I love the double-act you have with Felix, and I really enjoy seeing the snippets where you speak your native German. The internet is very homogenously English, which is an incredible privilege for native speakers like me, but it's good to have the reminder that a lot of great content is only there because of people like you making a big extra effort to master another language to share their work.
Meine Deutsch ist nicht so gut, aber: Vielen Glück mit seine arbeit auf Lieselotte, und danke schon fur die videos!
You should switch which bulb goes on/off, so that while heating/reheating, the red bulb is lit, and the green one gets brighter when things are ready.
I just love the laughter and ingenuity. It’s a powerful metaphor for life really. ❤
You will love the house once you are done. Even more 'cause all the work you put into it. Much more than if you just had bought a "finished" house 😊👍
Too much time to think will definitely kill a project! I think the hardest part is behind you, you will be excited to have people working on it again and will progress quickly! Love watching your videos and your procrastination!
After just 1 single project in our home quickly turning into 8 which ate into our entire budget, I've got a whole year to procrastinate before the next house project. Half dreading it, half excited. I feel your pain, Laura.
The genuine excitement every time the light changes😭😭 i love this channel sm
Laura, you are so talented and your house will be a reflection of all your skills once complete.
So much the best kind of procrastination! I often find inspiration ebbs and flows. You'll get there. Just going to look and start to think about it is a great first start. Most likely it plants a seed that grows into action. Cheering you on!
Great idea for toaster maker! But tulips greeted you at the big house which was lovely.
Hopefully once you have a bit of a tidy up, you will get your building mojo back. Write another list which might help get your ideas out. Look forward to next week’s adventure!
Ich kenn dieses Gefühl, dass so eine Baustelle komplett überfordert.
Der Trick ist, sich immer auf den nächsten Schritt zu konzentrieren und nicht (nur) auf das, was noch gemacht werden muss.
Wird schon werden. Ihr wuppt das schon.
I think with projects this huge, it's a good idea to focus on bite-sized pieces of it so you can complete them one by one without overwhelming yourself and still getting the "I finished a thing!" fix.
I really needed to see this video. Its so easy to get stuck for me when you get stalled on something and watching you go through it helps me see it in myself. I am so thankful for this channel. Sending lots of love. Can't wait to see your project get started again!
Best post-apocalyptic toaster I've ever seen.
Good luck on the house. It will be easy better this time.
The toastie on a stick is either brilliance or madness ~ I’ve had these similarly brilliant/weird ideas when procrastinating and overwhelmed and I love seeing them made reality. It’s much better than crying (which is what I end up doing on those days :P)
My advice for trying to get back into a really big job like this... host a (BYO plate) BBQ there, and invite as many friends and family as possible, and have a working bee, or if there aren't things they can help with yet, have a sign up calendar, for days they are happy to come and help -- then if they are coming in two weeks, you've got a deadline, which always gets me motivated -- and if there is a steady stream of friendly helpers coming, it will feel like fun instead of drudgery. -- you've got this!
In your last video you mentioned that small house living has been you experience in the past years. I can understand why Lise Lotta may be huge and overwhelming. However, the work you are doing on the house is really amazing. I know you will be so happy when it is finished.
That was awesome!! I love how your brain works, great job!! My favorite boss would say, when I procrastinated or just didn’t want to do something, “Put your big girl pants on!” …. Love that saying and sometimes its a great motivator!!😊😊😊
Laura, wenn du nicht schon bei der Maus wärst, würde ich sagen, dass du die perfekte Nachfolge für Peter Lustig sein könntest. Deine Ideen, deine Wiederverwertung und Umfunktionierung, die Ansammlung von tollem Kram, du hast sogar einen komischen, wenn auch sehr sehr liebenswerten Nachbarn, der ab und an vorbeikommt 😊 vielen Dank für deine tollen Videos, die immer eine Inspiration oder Motivation darstellen, selber etwas zu bauen❤
Laura cranking the scooter starter continuosly and then saying "Its about to start" while the starter continues to click in the background is absolutely Peak comedy lmao
It's weird, the house updates make me very aware of time passing, more than the months or the date... love th videos as always Laura thank you for being you!
Hi Laura :) you’ll probably never read my comment, but I’ll give it a shot anyway.
I am going through a bit of a tough time, and your videos really make the difference to me. I have always something to look forward to on Sunday, 20 minutes during which I just laugh and forget about everything that is happening around me. I am extremely thankful for this.
Ketchup on a grilled cheese is really interesting! I've never seen that here in America!
Thank you guys for the video. It must be challenging to consistently put out these videos but I appreciate you. I have my own projects that I procrastinate on and it's nice to know others do, too. Have a great week!
Thank you Laura for helping me realise the many ways I procrastinate on a daily basis. And I didn't even know I was doing it.
