I paired all the odd socks this morning. It turns out I now only have 4 odd socks. Not 30. Great start to my day ! My favourite are your motivational to do lists. You’re keeping it real 😅
I constantly tell myself 'one step at the time '. I find that very helpful. I tend to be impatient and ambitious. Which overwhelms me. If I step back and breaks it down in small portions the overwhelm disappears and I get going.
Re: getting myself to do things: I think about my future self, like future Scarlet is going to be so glad I washed these dishes. And then the next morning, when I wake up to a clean kitchen, I take a second to thank past me for taking the time to wash those dishes. Sounds a little woo-woo, but it really does work for me. Unintended bonus, thinking about my future self has made me more compassionate to and forgiving of my past self.
That’s awesome! I think there’s a lot of power in thanking ourselves and giving ourselves grace! I bet future Scarlet is happy to wake up to a clean kitchen! I need to do that more for future Lindsay ♥️
One thing that I say to myself when I don't want to do something is that I won't be willing to do it later either, so it's always better to do it right away and be done with it than leaving it for later. That works for me. And also progress over perfection
Happy 3rd birthday to Dan.❤️🙏🎂 No worries about his chiming him. Three year olds are the cutest.🥰🥰🥰 I’m fairly new to your channel and have been going back to some of your earlier videos for motivation and inspiration.
Well hey Debbie :) I’m so glad you’re here! ♥️ I agree! 3 year olds are so fun! I’m so glad my videos can help give you motivation ♥️♥️♥️ that makes me happy!
I like to say, a little here a little there. That seems to help me get through things knowing getting a little done is better than nothing. And that eventually it will get done.
I get overwhelmed into paralysis easily. So having a long to do list is a no for me. I choose 3 things for the to do list with a single item that must get done. If things go well and I finish the list. I do another. This way I see them as bonuses that make me feel accomplished and builds momentum, rather than judgments for not getting through it all.
A tip you may already know, you can switch the doors on washer/dryer to open the other direction. That way though can open both at the same time to switch.
Hi Lindsay! Better is good enough! I think that came from Dana K White. Some days I can only do a little bit, and some days I can do more but every little bit helps. Like yesterday was a good day. I got quite a bit done.
Happy 3rd Birthday, sweet Dan. For me, as far as getting things done. I am trying to forward anything undone on today's to-do list to the next day, before adding anything new. Ir is helping me get things off that never ending list.
Sometimes, if I know I should do stuff, I put on a TH-cam vid from you or one of the other popular declutterers/organisers. Seeing others get stuff done is often just the push I need.
Hello!! Happy Birthday to Dan!! Hope he had a magical day! 💕💗🥳🎉🎉🎉 Working at the kitchen sink while I listen to your video. I have been following you since March 2022 (I think, maybe it was April).
I have followed you for just over a year the first video I watched was titled "Decluttering everything the Minimal Mom tells me to". Jan 20 2022. I'm like you when it comes to getting things done and to do lists. I suffer with depression & fatigue so some days I get a lot done and some days nothing. Happy Birthday dear Dan. 🎂 I watch MAFS too, I find it weird and strangely interesting too. 😆
I let my dishes dry in the cabinet. They are just a little damp out of the dishwasher. I couldn't care less lol. Just want to get it done as efficiently and quickly as possible. I try to use the touch it once rule. I've decluttered so much that it's not hard to put things away. Hardly any effort at all.
Found you from the Decluttering what the minimal mom tells me. We had that kicking music play mat and its so good! I did stop using the fabric is came with and would just move the rest of it onto a blanket my babies played on 😂 I heard a trick with the dishwasher of when the cycle is over you put a towel over the door so its still closed but the towel absorbs a lot of the water
@@Lindsay_Lexus I noticed it mostly leaves water on plastic. I hate emptying the dishwasher because you have to dry off so many items. I dry them and then leave them to air dry a bit before putting them away. I also found you when I saw your video about decluttering all Dawn said to. I’m a big fan of hers so I watched it and then became a big fan of yours also. ☺️
My eyebrow situation is the same. Dark brown hair but blondeclear eyebrows. People think Im angry if I dont do my eyebrows. 😆. Thanks for sharing the motivation. I needed it today.
@@Lindsay_Lexus you’re so right. I can’t remember which big TH-camr says when her babies are small she has 4 baskets - tops, bottoms, baby gro’s and vests. Absolutely no folding. She just throws them right in. No Marie Kondo folding 😅😂🤣
Yeah. I can’t bother with the Marie Kondo folding, there are VERY few things we fold here 😂😂😂 life here is too hectic to worry about perfect folding 😂 so glad you understand 😍

Wow! You tackled a ton of areas! I know that getting Hallowe’en and Christmas put away was a huge win!!!
Hi. Love all of your videos. Especially thrift store and laundry videos. Dan is so cute. Such a sweet little guy. You guys makes me smile. Thanks.

Very productive video. Enjoyed it. Lots of motavation.

Any little bit helps a lot ♥️
Watching you clean your brushes motivated me to clean my beauty blenders 🤣🙈

You taught me progress over perfection and I use that in my life everyday. Its helped so much. X
Awww I’m so glad I could bring that to you! It’s one of my very favorite things to say to myself, gotta give ourselves grace everyday :)

Always get excited to watch your videos , I've been following you for a year now , love how far you've come. Keep up the great work.
Gorgeous quilt on the guest bed
I love it too! 😍

Hi! I've been watching your channel since the beginning of last year. I really enjoy following your journey.
Lots of love. From Argentina 🇦🇷
You’re so sweet! I’m so glad you’re here!
That’s exactly how I clean my artist brushes after painting! 🥰
I have followed you since you started the “I am going to decluttering what xxx says,” series.
It’s been such a fun series to make :)
I clean the same way lol I clean what I feel like cleaning or driving me crazy as a priority.
Yes 🙌 can’t do it all, do what just makes the most difference in your life at that moment in time :)
Sometimes, if I know I should do stuff, I put on a TH-cam vid from you or one of the other popular declutterers/organisers. Seeing others get stuff done is often just the push I need.
I know the feeling for sure! Other people getting things done helps a ton with my motivation
I *think* I found you from the video series you did on "decluttering everything....... tells me"
Hello!! Happy Birthday to Dan!!
Hope he had a magical day! 💕💗🥳🎉🎉🎉

Gotta get those dishes done! You’re awesome! ♥️
Dan says THANKS 😍 he had such a great birthday 🎉

Do what you can and don’t let anyone tell you what to do :) gotta do what works for you :)
This too shall pass is my saying to myself.
That’s a great saying!
It's fine--smile

Hey that’s a great idea! I may have to try that! My dishwasher leaves a lot of water at the end 😂

Welcome!!! :) so glad you made it!!!

So glad someone else understands the eye brow struggle! 😂
I have a bad memory because of my MS, so I don’t remember a specific favorite video. I do enjoy your content though.
Please check all your hand-me-down baby bouncers etc for recalls! (Concerned grandma here)
Arghhhhhh. You could fold those towels better. 😮😮 it’s driving me crazy !!! 😂😂😂
Haha 😂 it’s all good, they’re just towels
@@Lindsay_Lexus you’re so right. I can’t remember which big TH-camr says when her babies are small she has 4 baskets - tops, bottoms, baby gro’s and vests. Absolutely no folding. She just throws them right in. No Marie Kondo folding 😅😂🤣

My mom used to say “why put off till tomorrow what you can do today”
I’ve definitely heard that one, and I try to do that for small things especially :) when I think about them

Hey Dimitra!!!! Thanks for hanging out with us!! :)
