    It’s not so much the cleaning part I love, it’s waking up to a clean kitchen, walking past my room and seeing a made bed, and overall living and moving within a clean and tidy home that’s truly motivating. It’s a gift we give ourselves! Inviting guests over is also the BEST incentive to get things extra clean ✨

    • @TheCarlaProject
      @TheCarlaProject  ปีที่แล้ว +7

      It is such a gift. It inspires me to keep it up as long as I can. But yes thankfully I have people who come over to keep me in check 😂❤

      @@TheCarlaProject Please consider bleaching your kitchen counter grout. It would make a world of difference in its appearance, and also make it much more sanitary, since bacteria builds up in there.

    Also, I totally hear what you’re saying about doing the best with what you’ve got (apartment wise). I love when our apartment is reset and clean, but it is old and there is plenty around it that needs upgraded and fixed up once my husband and I move out one day. Sometimes it really bothers me that our place doesn’t look as aesthetically pleasing as we often see on Pinterest or in other TH-cam videos, but you know what, my apartment is clean, decluttered, and full of love and good memories and that is truly the kind of home I want to live in. All we can ever do is our best with what we have been given!

    • @TheCarlaProject
      @TheCarlaProject  ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I LOVE to clean. My mom taught me early on that your home is your safe space. It's the one place you can retreat to and it should always provide comfort. For her and now me, that is expressed through keeping it clean, organize, and paying all the bills on time! 😄

  • @Smittenhamster
    @Smittenhamster ปีที่แล้ว +29

    I think you're already doing a lot better compared to previous videos in keeping your apartment in a general state of tidiness. You mentioned so often how you struggle with it so i really wanted to let you know that I see a difference and you should be proud of yourself 😊
    As for me, I grew up with the mantra of not leaving a room empty-handed so that helps a lot in keeping our apartment somewhat tidy. I also love to reset at night and have a clean kitchen and tidy workspace. In my job I sometimes don't see any results for my work but clesning gives me this immediate satisfaction of things looking better because I put a little work in it!

    My grandma was one of the 50s housewives. As a child growing up seeing her clean and cook it was like magic. My mom was a working mom and the house was always a disaster area. I chose as an adult to channel my grandma and it's backbreaking and a joy all at once to maintain the home.

  • @aukulele1

    Just sat down with a smoothie and ready to relax, then I see you posted! My day has been made! Love your videos, Carla! 😊

  • @TheNerdistheWord
    @TheNerdistheWord ปีที่แล้ว +11

    I used to be like that - kicking my shoes off, throwing my bag over here, my jacket over there etc and making disaster zone right when I came home. I’ve adopted the “one touch rule” so instead of dumping everything down then moving it later, I just immediately put it where it goes. It saves energy in the long run because you’ve already cut out one step of going back to pick it up where you set it down. It has really cut down the counter clutter in our home!

  • @tamecamontez1
    @tamecamontez1 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Your apartment is looking so so good! I'm one of those weird people who enjoy a good house cleaning session. I LOVE listening/singing to music while deep cleaning. It almost becomes a workout kinda.

    • @TheCarlaProject
      @TheCarlaProject  ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh it is a FULL body work out right!! And yes with good music it is very therapeutic xo

  • @ilonadenise
    @ilonadenise ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I do like tidying and cleaning. Seeing my place improve because of the work I put in is very motivating for me. What I try to do, is treat myself as I would a guest coming over. I also enjoy sitting in a clean room, having nice food, enjoying some flowers or a scented candle and I deserve a clean shower and toilet too. That way, the process itself feels more rewarding because I know I'm making it a nice space for me to 'visit'.

  • @HelenaEngstrom

    I’m a housekeeper. I love my job. I can come home after a long day of work and clean my home. I wouldn’t say I’m obsessed,but I do really love cleaning. It’s therapy. I do have days where I’m not striving to be perfect with my home. I would say 80% of the time my house is spotless. I know it’s not that easy for some. I’ve done some hard core mind training.

  • @nexusSix_237
    @nexusSix_237 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love seeing a clutter free tidy apartment. I have a rotation of what part of the apartment I put full effort into for that day. This way I'm not stuck cleaning the whole place in one day. And I have more time for other stuff with this cleaning schedule.

  • @susanbrowning5891
    @susanbrowning5891 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    I love to check in with you and you’ve motivated me in my decluttering journey in so many ways. One thing I was taught early on is I don’t leave the BR in the mrng. without at least pulling up the covers and resetting the pillows on the bed. That way if I get more motivated, I can put clothes or other stuff on the bed without having to stop and make the bed.

    Your apartment looks so much better than when you started. And I don’t think anyone that I know has a Pinterest house. But, the warmth and love I feel when I go there is what matters to me.
    Great job as always.
    And yeah that stove is pretty cool!

  • @rosecat5638
    @rosecat5638 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I actually love to clean and I also can’t stand clutter and messes in my own home, everything definitely has its place. Since my own environment is already tidy and clean I really enjoy my job which is cleaning and I often will take side jobs cleaning for friends and family when they need it. If I get to organize something that’s my total heaven.

    • @TheCarlaProject

    So proud of you! I think you are more like "tidy" people than you think. If I were to step in your home as a guest that evening of the day you filmed, I would think, "I wish I could keep my house as nice as Carla does hers!" You have made such a beautiful space that while not always 100% spic-and-span, got reset rather quickly! Thank you for sharing with us. Also, that apple painting in your kitchen is très magnifique!

    Hi Carla.You're doing great.The solution to every mess is to put things in their place immediately,but that's not always easy.We're all different,but it's important to make an effort to always work on yourself.Yes I'm that person who likes to clean.Neat and organized.But that doesn't mean that I never make a mess or that I'm always ready to clean.Life is short,so everyone should do what they enjoy and they love.Greetings.🙋

    • @TheCarlaProject
      @TheCarlaProject  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      totally agree!! i love when my place is tidy and it feels so good and makes me happy. i've made huge progress after all the decluttering now it is just a matter of continuing to learn to pick up after myself and do it sooner rather than letting it pile up too much. but not end of world if i do cuz i can clean it all up and start fresh. thanks biljana xoxo

    I do NOT love to clean! I used to be a total clutter zone. I did learn one thing from fly lady and that is if it only takes a minute to clean it up or put it away, do it NOW. That has helped me so much to cut down on clutter that I no longer leave out. I am 73 with health issues so every little bit I can do helps overall. I also have adopted the clean kitchen before I go to bed theory. So nice to wake up to a clean kitchen. By the way, you are looking totally ready for company.

    Hi Carla! I loved this video, as always, because it's genuine. I struggle with anxiety and my home is always clean due to mess and untidy spaces being a trigger. We were raised that it had to be perfect so I can't cope.with anything less. My partner helps me a bit with this, no one ever died because you fogit to dust 😂

  • @shannonbordeaux84
    @shannonbordeaux84 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love to clean and have an orderly house, I feel my most comfortable that way. I always have a place to put stuff and when I use things I put it back where I got it from. You create more work when you don’t and let it accumulate wherever, and I don’t want to work harder just smarter. When I do that I don’t have a lot to clean.

  • @bex438

    Hi Carla! I am one of those who are naturally tidy and love a clutter free environment. I cannot leave my home with an undone bed, for example. And to make it worse, I love to clean 🙈. I am so happy when Saturday morning arrives and I take out of my cleaning tools: duster clothes, vacuum, mop... This second part is good, I admit, but the first one... Not that much. It could get exhausting sometimes 🤷‍♀️

    Nice video as always. One question: Do you need less time to tidy everything up since you have less things? I mean compared to when you started your journey? I love the vintage look of your kitchen. The floor really looks perfect with it all. No, I hate to clean. But thing is, I have two cats and you can't have a dirty appartement with two cats. So they keep me motivated. I am still on my journey, but compared to how things were two years ago, I made some considerable progress. I still have more things than I acutally need and use, but it is not as overwealming as it once was.

    • @TheCarlaProject
      @TheCarlaProject  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yesss night and day difference!! my place used to be tidy 10% of the time now it's tidy and 70-80% just bc so much less for me to manage., decluttering has been truly lifechanging!! xo

  • @shesthebethest
    @shesthebethest ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm similar to how you described yourself, I have a way of creating a tornado wherever I go. I have this idea that I am always exploring in my head... it's the concept of changing your tolerance or meter for clutter or things that aren't put away. I have been trying to decrease the time between the moment I stop using something and the moment I put it away. I think that more times you put things away directly after use it = the more time you have to enjoy the tidy space = the more your tolerance for clutter decreases. If your tolerance decreases then the "its time to put all this away" feeling comes sooner than it used to. This might be a very simple concept that I am ovwrcomplicating but it works for me loool

    I always enjoy your videos. Food expiration dates aren't an indication of whether or not the food is still safe to eat. I always give the food a sniff (especially dairy) to see if it's going off, but most food is still perfectly fine well past the "expiration" date. (PSA: If cans are badly dented or if there are obvious signs of spoilage, discard).

    I don’t love cleaning. I would be very happy to have a regular housecleaner. I made plenty of messes. One day I decided to work on changing that by creating some habits. Habits like putting things away as part of “completing the cycle”. Always = 95%. My keys always go on a hook. My purse always goes in a dresser drawer. My shoes always go back on the shelf in my closet. My clothes always get put away - either rehung or in the laundry hamper. My bed gets made when I get up. I have a habit of doing a nightly walk-thru to set things right. Takes very little time. ✳️ I started with just constantly reminding myself to “do it now”. I like having my purse tucked away out of sight. I never have to worry if anyone might tamper with it and I always know where it is. Keys go on the hook - in case hubby needs them for some reason and I’ll always know where they are. Purchases get unpackaged and put in their new home or where they’ll be used next. Sometimes I rebel and let things slide - but life runs a little smoother when I do these things on the fly as part of my regular routine.
    ✳️Cleaning? I mostly follow FlyLady routines with a few tweaks. I gather trash twice a week. I change bed linens every other week. One bed one week. The other bed the next week. I do a load of laundry a day as needed. Towels, lights, darks, sheets, extra item. I do a quick dust. Vacuum. Mop the kitchen, 2 bathrooms and the den. I’ve settled on proven tools, products and methods. My routine is to clean all the mirrors and glass doors. Then go through and do all the dusting. Then vacuum the whole house. Then mop the 3 areas. Most weeks I split it across 2-3 days. ✳️ Deeper cleaning. I spend a little extra time cleaning in a different zone each week. This week it’s the kitchen. Yesterday I cleaned the microwave and wiped the cabinet fronts. Today I decluttered and cleaned the spice cabinet. I plan to do the pantry over the next 2 days. And, do a good thorough cleaning of the floor. ✳️ It didn’t take long to create the habit. And, now I hardly think about it as I do it. It runs smoothly. I don’t leave a room without a quick scan to see what needs to be set right or taken out of the room and returned to its place. I’m not perfect. But, so much better than before.

    Most days I don't mind cleaning and I'm naturally organised. I don't make much mess as well. That's a complete opposite of my childhood environment. Maybe that's why ;)

    Hey Carla, try the power paste on your sink. It will make your stainless steel shine. It also works on marks on the wall like a magic eraser. I like it more for that stuff than most things. It is also fantastic at getting hair dye out of your shower when bleach won't get it all. I also wanted to say that I love that you kept the still life on the counter in your kitchen. It adds so much character.

    I am a certified neat freak. Neat freakery of the highest form suits me but…I do not like to sweep 🧹, mop, dust, do laundry 🧺 or wash dishes. I also don’t like having a house keeper. So I do it myself. I am not obsessive about keeping things tidy. I live in a very tiny place so it doesn’t take long to clean and 3 years ago when I decided to live minimally I find I still am decluttering and redoing things to have even less. I am slowly working on a small bin of paper/photo clutter. When I say small bin it’s the size of a storage cute ⏹ that you find at Ikea and it’s not even full. I am going to declutter a bit more tomorrow and also reduce my cell phone bill by switching carriers. It all kind of goes hand & hand. Decluttering your space & finances. 💕 I love your videos you are just a normal woman doing normal things. 😊

      I hear you (and feel you!) We JUST got a break in our weather this past Monday evening! High temperatures in the 90's (felt like 100*F!) and super high humidity. We have air conditioning, but dang! I was still moving like a sloth and had ZERO motivation! It's quite lovely now! The windows are open and I had to throw another blanket on the bed last night!

    I love a nice, clean, tidy home. I'm getting better all the time but I'm not a natural either. I have discovered what works best for me is to have daily routines, morning, after work and after supper to keep on top of it. But I still struggle and sometimes it just seems to get away from me and I feel like I'm starting at square one. Your place looked great when you were done, very inviting!

    Woo so happy to see you're getting a vacuum cleaner 😂
    As others have noted, your cleaning is now more streamlined and routine and I feel it takes you less time to tidy it up. But more importantly, you know you need to tidy it up, if only for company. It's a great step forward for you and you should be proud!
    I adore cleaning, and if I see my desk be messy at 11pm I look at it to see what's the mess, and if it's just going to take 2min to put a few books or clothes away then I do that for my future self :) cleaning for me is more small tidy ups through the day and one longer (1-2h) clean up on the weekend.

      Hey❤️ I may not know you personally however I care about you deeply because I know how much you mean to Jesus Christ The King of ALL CREATION . I want to tell you that Jesus Christ loves you so much, he died for our sins so that whoever believes in him wouldn’t have to perish in hell but instead have eternal life in heaven. You need to understand that HEAVEN and HELL are 1000% REAL they aren’t imaginary , and hell is a horrible place I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. God doesn’t want you to end up there he wants you in heaven and so he is giving you a chance to accept the sacrifice of his son Jesus Christ and be saved. Day by Day the world is falling apart because we are literally living in the last days of Earth there is no doubt or debate about it, Jesus Christ is coming faster then you think to bring judgement to the world and to destroy it. This really is URGENT, it’s NOT A JOKE ,Tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone, you can be alive one minute and gone the next, please take this opportunity to be on the side of Mercy confess your sins and wicked ways to Jesus , sincerely REPENT/turn away from them, ask for his forgiveness, and be baptized at a real bible believing church- ask him to enter your heart and to be your Lord and Savior before it is too late , truly believe in him and he WILL do it because it is his promise. It’s important that you seek the righteous and Holy path of the Most high God so that you may inherit eternal life and be spared of Hell fire. You can begin a new life in Christ and have a genuine relationship with him, please repent. Jesus changed my life and he will change yours too🥰, He is coming NOW! not SOON- when you least expect it!, therefore repent and make sure you are prepared. May the Lord be with you eternally💕🙏🏾

    My motivation is laziness. If I tidy up after myself all the time as I go, I never have to do a major tidy and it makes necessary cleaning easier, leaving me more time to walk my dog, drink tea, knit, read books or whatever… 😉
    (ps did you put a guest towel out for people washing their hands after using the bathroom?! I frequently stand with wet hands not knowing which towel to use and reluctant to use someone‘s personal towel hanging there!!)

    Hi Carla, your apartment looks very warm, cozy and clean. About the vacuum situation, I think you have all hardwood floors, i use swiifer pads. I go all around the house and collect all the dust in one place then I vacuum just the one spot. Try it, it really works. Swiifer pads are great for hair, dust and dog hair. See you next week👍

    Haha I am that person who can’t stand clutter and loves to clean. I got it from my grandfather whom was tidy to the extreme. Everything had its own place, even the smallest item and his house was so clean it looked like a showroom. Because my mom grew up with that she’s clean but messy and my dad is just overall messy.. anyways since I live on my own I just love having my own place clean and but not as extreme as my grandfather, I can leave some dishes in the sink and go to bed. Or do nothing the entire day and clean up my livingroom before I go to bed haha

    To answer your cleaning question in the video, I am such a person....who LOVES to clean. I genuinely love organizing, cleaning, decluttering and occasionally rearranging. For me it’s a form of self care and therapeutic. I am a tidy person by nature and keep my home well kept and clean all the time. I have a spot/home for pretty much everything.
