I was gonna say that this came at the perfect timing but I guess it's not just me who is so grateful for that motivation...I like to think of the days I do nothing but sleep and eat as my "re-charging time" and just allow myself to rest and slow down
"a scarcity mindset around knowledge" bruh... i _work_ at a library and this is the mood of my life. i'm quite a minimalist and am not really into hoarding anything but LIBRARY BOOKS THO. thanks for the phrase "go slow, don't stop" - i find chanting things like this really helpful for keeping focus and am gonna try this one out for getting my space back in order after a similar slump!
I've been watching your videos since 2016 & I don't think I've ever left a comment on one of your videos... I just wanna say, you've helped me completely transform my life, I've watched every single one of your videos & I've always felt incredibly motivated & inspired after watching them! Whenever I feel down or in need of a reset or just a little pick-me-up, I always go back to your videos! Thank you for everything you do & thank you for Intention! I have so much love & gratitude for you
I'm familiar with the "Current Me" and "Future Me" exercise for envisioning my future self, but I've never thought to create a "Future Self" and "Present Self" to-do list. Seems like a nice way to remind yourself of why some of the tasks you're doing are important when they don't provide instant gratification. Great video! Loved the vlog style.
I really like the idea of having specific times do things for your future self vs present self. I think I get overly caught up in the future self sometimes, and then my present self digs her feet in and decides to play on her phone all day because she's not getting the attention she wants and deserves. Excited to try this way of categorizing tasks
DECRUSTING 😭😭😭 it needs to be added to a dictionary!!! Thanks for this - I’ve been ill for over a week and I feel CRUSTY. Def needed this. Appreciate you💗
I feel like the comments section are a safe space for everyone to come together and say ‘omg me too!’ ‘we’re not alone’ and it’s so wholesome to me hahah!
I'm currently replaying this video for the 4th time, decrusting my space/me while listening to it. It's going good so far. Thank you for helping me get my sad ass off the couch (although there's no shame in not getting that sad ass moving, sometimes you just need to chill and feel the feels).
Oh how I needed to come back to your channel. I didn’t realize how doing these things, things that this channel is dedicated, is so necessary for my sanity and near and dear to my heart.
i fell like the actual first step is to "want to de-crust!" like previos of you actually organising your space, you actually wanted to, you searched within you and found a motivation... you know?! love your content. God helps me thru you.
This is perfect timing. It’s almost 10 am and I’m still in bed because I can’t find the strength to do anything today. I suffered from depression for many years and while I’m a lot better now, I still have bad days sometimes. You just reminded me how important it is to at least start slow, and it can lead to a very productive day. And even if it doesn’t, the one tiny thing I manage to do is a lot better than doing nothing, and it can be great for my mood too. I’m going to do what I can today, even if that’s not enough in other’s eyes. You also reminded me to think of my future self, which I always struggle with and end up procrastinating. I’m going to make the same lists you did for the next 2 or 3 days, some things for future self, and some for present self. Thank you for sharing this and showing that you also have bad days and that you find a way to get out of it without forcing yourself to be highly productive as expected (that is unrealistic but society demands it 🙄). Your videos are really inspiring and I always learn new things and you make me excited to try them out 🥰
I was off super sick for a while as well, and was feeling like I was in a massive slump - frustrated I couldn't get myself going on work and things like that. I did a massive tidy up / rearranging situation last night which had been on my To Do for almost 6 months, and I feel so much better since. I'm still not 100% but un-crusty-ing my space and making healthy meals for myself made such a difference that I was even able to get a little work done today. It makes such a difference when you don't have those little points of friction (things falling out of cupboards every time you open them; shelves looking messy; not having your favourite clothes clean; rubbish bins being full etc) gnawing at you all day. They might be little individually but they definitely add up to occupying a lot of headspace. I'm definitely doing to use that "Start slow, don't stop" line on myself in future - it really works.
This was so needed today. I had been in a slump for several weeks trying to come out of it. I have been down in the past but it only took a day or two. This time I was overwhelmed with life. I took the time to get to know who I was now and realized that I was not truly in control of my decisions. This is something detrimental because I am a self control freak! So, as you started out so did I. Just cleaning a little bit at a time. I will use your "decrusting". That made me laugh and feel good. Thank you!
I'm sad to say I've been in a slump quite often and to see you discussing your own really helps to make it as a more common thing we all face. For me to feel less miserable too. Thank you for the support.
On TH-cam it's so easy to believe creators live the perfect lives: clean houses, expensive items and going on trips all the time. This is such a raw video and I love it. You seem so down to earth here
I’m on day 6 of having covid. My husband is on day 4 of it and now my youngest has a sore throat and stuffy head. Def going to save this one for advice later on. Can feel we are going to be needing it!
its nice to see that everyone can feel like this because i feel like i go into a mini slump every month meanwhile everyone else have their life together. Thank you for sharing Muchelle, and yeah i am like that too with library books, start borrowing so many as if they will be gone forever if i dont take them with me home hahaha
Hi, Michelle! I recently came across your TH-cam videos while trying to figure out Notion (your system is amazing, by the way!) Thank you for being real and doing this video. I think a lot of content providers shy away from doing this, only showing themselves at their best. I get it, but it can actually be a disservice. All of us have slump days, and it is reassuring to know even the most successful people have their moments. I am having my own slump day today. In truth, I have Depression, so it's one of my bad days and my motivation is nonexistent. Just watching your video has helped me feel a but more motivated. "Start small, but keep going" will be my new mantra. Thanks, again!
Thanks for this video . You remind me that doing baby steps is something to be proud of. I have had a hard time cleaning my room and played this video in the background while cleaning my room. I feel a little overwhelmed but I am focusing on the task at hand.
I wallpapered my kitchen and 3 years later I still had not finished it . There was a tiny piece at the side of boiler. It literally took me 2 mins to fix in the end and I had built it up to a massive task. I still smile every time a see that piece of wall as I know I was an idiot for procrastinating for so long 😁
i cannot hear the word *decrusting* anymore haha thaw out, defrosting, unfunk, defunk, refresh, reset. Also, idk if this is a new style of video for you, but i freaking love it.
I currently have covid and it’s the worst!! I haven’t been sick in two years, so it’s been rough. This video really motivated me for what my future is going to look like after “decrusting” my space from covid and feeling myself again! I want to for sure get a hair cut, get a pedicure (definitely due for one),and I also have been wanting to get a second ear piercing (for a few years now and I think it’s time)!
Urrg I also have Covid, and it sucks! 🤧 I have no energy to do anything, but my brain is going in full speed and thinking of all the stuff I want to do (especially because its summer).. Can't wait for me to feel better and pamper myself and clean the house!🚿🧹
As someone who also has a nose ring, I feel like I always need pliers to like neatly close it up whenever I change it. I am so glad I am not the only one who experiences this.
Seeing you do the research and go to an APP member makes my little piercer heart happy. I love the gold! You should get something matching for your tragus when you go back for your downsize! Good luck with your new piercings! Happy healing!
The new nose ring is stunning!!!! I really like this video and I'm taking notes from this one and your other one - How I get things done when I don't want to do anything!
Hi Muchelle Love your videos,,, really enjoyed this one! Somehow I relate to this some days of my life.. it’s nice to Know that there are ppl out here that feel the same xx
Michelle, I have to say you suggested Personality Isn't Permanent and as someone who has read many self-help books, I'm loving this one!! What a great recommendation; it's not that well known. Thanks so much! Side note: I also have library guilt
This was so motivating. I've found myself to be more and more stressed the closer I am to going back to uni, and the future me/present me method seems like a really interesting way to save myself from some of that stress over the next few weeks. Thank you for sharing this method!
This is actually one of my favorite videos you've ever made. I love how authentic you are and real with your content ❤️ you are amazing! Always motivating to watch one of your videos
I definitely like your video as it shows aside of someone who isn’t always organise because they I am I don’t feel well or they can’t be bothered and so they have a week off of doing anything it’s a bit like me with my depression and anxiety one week I can be fine and I keep the place looking lovely and nice and then the following week I can feel really crap and so the house gets messy again and not on top of things. I watch some of the TH-cam channels that show all of these organised and cleaning videos I wish that they could show a side of them that isn’t always like that because I’m pretty sure that they’re not like that all the time.
I neeeeeeded this so so much! Btw, I’m currently living in Houston, Texas and the “feels like”temperature today got to almost 44* C. Seeing you in a sweater is crazy to me, even though I know it’s winter in AUS
I remember when I got my ears pierced, I kept the original piercing studs in for years. My mum had to use mini pliers to get those out too because they fused. I feel you babe.
Really liked this style of vid, more relaxed and relatable! Was really nice to see someone else being a slug infront of a heater and struggling to do things (i don't mean that horribly haha) and to come on your piercing journey! :) x
I'm struggling since almost two months... so thank you for this video, it has been really helpfull. I'm not tidying, woohoo! Let me tell you it has to be done lmao. Sending positivity to everybody, it will pass
lol literally did thrifting yesterday after I slapped on some makeup for the first time in I don’t know how long.. getting over a nasty head cold aghk glad you’re up and about too!!
I love how she's willing to admit when she slumps. Other life style-type youtubers often don't show their bad moments. It's brave of her to do that!
it's realistic
@@scienzedellemerendine4915 as they say "The struggle is real"
Extremely brave and wonderfully transparent.

I love the term “decrusting”
It literally made me laugh lol

It's a really good idea. I'm "taking it with me" ;)
@@AiriAnew You and me both! =)
I screenshotted that part too! I'm def gonna do that. What a great idea to motivate ourselves to the the stuff we don't feel like doing!!!🙌
@@theresag.4188 You know it!!
I really like the idea of having specific times do things for your future self vs present self.

Excited to try this way of categorizing tasks
DECRUSTING 😭😭😭 it needs to be added to a dictionary!!! Thanks for this - I’ve been ill for over a week and I feel CRUSTY. Def needed this. Appreciate you💗
I feel like the comments section are a safe space for everyone to come together and say ‘omg me too!’ ‘we’re not alone’ and it’s so wholesome to me hahah!
Working on small tasks is really helpful as a first step to get out of a rut.
This video just got me out of my slump I think. “Don’t stop take it slow” is exactly what I need to do right now. Thank you ❤
I'm currently replaying this video for the 4th time, decrusting my space/me while listening to it. It's going good so far. Thank you for helping me get my sad ass off the couch (although there's no shame in not getting that sad ass moving, sometimes you just need to chill and feel the feels).

I love how these videos motivate me! I also got sick the past week so I’m trying to get back on it too
I love your admin day videos more than other videos where you just talk or repeat some tips over and over again. Practical stuff is very motivating!

Hahahahahha i formally apologise it is a rough word
I really love your content. Everyone gets into slumps. This video feels like a friend giving you a gentle hand up.
I paused this part way through to do some of my own de-crusting, thanks for the motivation!
Your videos just always make me feel so cosy & comfy. Thanks for the inspiration ❤️

such a slump
this helped
Planned to do a big cleaning day today and this was the first video I saw when I opened TH-cam. I guess it's a good day for cleaning. 😁
The new nose ring is stunning!!!! I really like this video and I'm taking notes from this one and your other one - How I get things done when I don't want to do anything!
This is ME 100% NEVER BEFORE HAVE I EVER SUFFERED THIS WAY?
I love that you are willing to show this side of yourself! It is so relatable ❤ It truly makes you seem that much more real.
Same!! This video was so helpful and came at the perfect time! First! Your content is so amazing
As someone in a slump right now - this is exaclty what I needed!
Loved the different style of this video! And powerful to see you bloom through the video.
I appreciate you being so genuine and transparent!
You are my favourite creator you’ve made such an impact on my life - for years! I loved the “corporate image” 💙
Hi Muchelle
Love your videos,,, really enjoyed this one! Somehow I relate to this some days of my life.. it’s nice to
Know that there are ppl out here that feel the same xx
I am saving this to refer to another time thank you 😊
Michelle, I have to say you suggested Personality Isn't Permanent and as someone who has read many self-help books, I'm loving this one!! What a great recommendation; it's not that well known. Thanks so much! Side note: I also have library guilt
I visit your books page constantly!
i’m 2mins in and she already motivated me
I felt just the same this Sunday! Sometimes it’s best to just not do anything (sometimes hehe) 💕♥️✌️
This was so motivating. I've found myself to be more and more stressed the closer I am to going back to uni, and the future me/present me method seems like a really interesting way to save myself from some of that stress over the next few weeks. Thank you for sharing this method!
I really like the photo you are using now! It looks professional but not overly corporate
I LOVE your videos.
You definitely sold me on the square space!!!!
This is actually one of my favorite videos you've ever made. I love how authentic you are and real with your content ❤️ you are amazing! Always motivating to watch one of your videos
The fact that you get too many books from the library every time is a mood for me!
Thursdays are my fav day for your videos! This is exactly what I needed, i’ve been feeling the same
This is literally me right now, thanks for the inspiration to do this!!!

The new profile picture vibe is relatable. 🥰
we all need have days like this 👏 perfect motivation
I love this video style so much, it feels like we’re seeing a different side of you
I was sick for a few days so this was me over the weekend just trying to get back to normality
Omg I recognized the washing machine. I used to have that washing machineeeeeeee. Lovely video! Always inspiring!
"Go slow, don't stop" has been TRANSFORMATIVE for my ADHD brain.
That video came at the perfect time!!
This is so important
I neeeeeeded this so so much! Btw, I’m currently living in Houston, Texas and the “feels like”temperature today got to almost 44* C. Seeing you in a sweater is crazy to me, even though I know it’s winter in AUS
This vid came at the perfect time for me
this is my ALL TIME fave video of yours. i feel like we got to see the real you!!! i'm hear for the quirkiness!!! i loved it.
more please💕
Ughhh I just love your videos and they’re always so helpful and applicable

Funny that you said "crusty" in the intro. My husband teases me and calls me "Crusty Katie" sometimes.
I'm struggling since almost two months... so thank you for this video, it has been really helpfull. I'm not tidying, woohoo! Let me tell you it has to be done lmao. Sending positivity to everybody, it will pass
I'm a big fan of these videos. I can never have enough. If anyone knows other influencers with videos similar to this HMU.
I so needed this! Thanks, Michelle.
I love your videos, you inspire me every time, thank you
i LOVED this
i agree! too corporate! i kind of like the book photo better for all!
I adore this vid. Perfect. Thank you!
Perfect timing!
I love your new TH-cam picture and header😊
