I’m actually going to give this a try I’ve never done something like this but it will be a lot easier to get other house work done for one week if I know my meals are already done
30 seconds ago I was sitting on the couch avoiding tasks because my dog was laying on me and I didn't want to disturb him. Now I'm up and getting started because not only do I deserve a clean home, but he does, too. Thanks for the help!
Thanks! I’m 55 and I have just recently adopted the say phrase,” I’m never go to feel like getting out of bed. “ since thinking of it that way, I haven’t been late to work!💕
Does anyone know of a food subscription service that does the prep work only? I have my recipes & know what I want to cook but it's the prep work that undoes me. I have arthritis in my hands but I'm sure there are scores of people, albeit for different reasons just can't do the prep work. Grocery store precut items are often out of stock
What a nice way to think of things. If only I didn’t live with two other people, one my husband and two my sister who has no where else to go, would feel the same as me. But thought if life is it will be there tomorrow. My life sucks.
You nailed it when you said, "I'm never going to feel like doing this..."--I needed this motivation!!! I've organized my entire house this summer except for that one last closet in the guest room...and lemme tell you, it's awful! Lots of sentimental things for my husband, and tough decisions. But today I'm going to commit to working on it for 30 minutes, even though I don't feel like it. TY for the video, I enjoyed it so much! Everyone have a blessed day!
Ive conquered that kitchen cabinet that catches everything and a bookshelf! And managed to get all the laundry put away! It rubbed off on my daughter and we worked on her room together! Day accomplished!
"I'm never going to feel like doing this." This is me when it comes to exercise! Instead of listening to music to motivate me, I started listening to audiobooks and story podcasts during my workouts and only during my workouts. If I want to know what happens next in the story, I have to get moving!
I've been trying to come up with something for my kids and I love that idea! Both need to have a strong feeling of control and are really sensitive to phrasing so this is a great fit for us 😊
I do pop out of the bed and say Wonderful it’s a cleaning day!! Well almost 😅 Recently found a couple medical reasons for all the exhaustion and it’s amazing how just stopping beating myself up for being lazy has made things better. A spin on how reframing thought can help
I've been living in my house for 47 years and sometimes I feel I've lost control. I'm in my seventies and don't always have the energy to do what I have to do. I started watching your videos a while ago and started with a clean sink every morning. That was a good tip. Every evening before I go to bed, I decide to do just 2 extra things the following day. That's an easy goal. If I just clean one window in a week, I feel I accomplished something. Thank you for your tips.
I am 68, and I agree she has some crazy good ideas and advice, including this video. It made total sense, and sounds easy to incorporate. Us elders can still learn new tricks from the young!
"Move a muscle, change a thought" and I can't think my way into right action, but I can act my way into right thinking". Both help me tremendously! Thanks Kalli!
Two things I’ve found that work for me. First is tying the cleaning to something else I’m doing anyway. If I need to use the restroom, I take the laundry back with me. If I’m making tea, I unload the dishwasher, etc. This has been a huge help for me. Second, if a task seems daunting, I just tell myself I’m only going to do the first tiny part of it. Something is better than nothing. And sometimes I do a little more once I finish the first part. Eventually the once daunting task is done.
I agree, pairing a task with an action already in play! As you said, while my coffee/tea is brewing I challenge myself to clear the counters or sweep or put away dishes as fast as possible. It’s amazing how much can actually be done in a short amount of time, especially when it’s presented as a game/challenge. I do this with a timer too…15 minute clutter clean ups have been GOLD!
I have anxiety and depression and a lot of the time I let my space go, and get dirty and messy. I got into the notion to at least deep clean on the weekends and I always start with one or a bunchhh of your videos and you’re the only thing that makes me get up and end up with a decent clean space! Thank you so mcuh ❤
once you start its easier to keep up with it! i know its been a yr since you commented so i hope you have been keeping up with it! if not, nows your sign to get back into deep cleaning at least bi weekely :) just picking up can help our spaces feel better and personally it helps my depression
I am 8 weeks pregnant and I am so tired. Divine intervention is real but even God's help you have to take. I prayed to for help but I still have to get up and start and God will help me. I get what your saying free will is in our control.
I totally get this. When my kids were small I was a stay home mom. After a long time in sweat pants and slippers, and my house was trashed, I realized I HAD to put my regular shoes on in order to accomplish anything! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for these words. I needed them this morning. Example: I think "ugh" when my son wants to go golfing. I have to drive him. But I remind myself that he has good friends. He's outside getting exercise, and fresh air. Good kid so I can't complain anymore!
Love this!! My hardest thing is i work a full job at a hospital, then have a 45 min drive home. I get relaxed on my drive and still have to hop out of the car and make supper, help with kids with homework, set out clothes for all of us for the next day. Pack lunches etc..and so I have to keep going or if I sit down even to fold clothes I could literally fall asleep. I tell myself my family deserves a clean house, my kids deserve a nice sit down supper and my husband needs me to help with home tasks since he works a longer day than me. Life keeps going weather you fight it or not and to say "I am willing and capable of doing these things" has always helped me. Thanks for another great video!
Again and always so helpful. When I find myself dreading a task, I usually realize I'm dreading the Entire task. So I joke with myself about finding the very most Tiny starting point that I don't dread. I make a game of how Tiny I can make it and I do that. It can be as small as putting an empty bowl out on the counter. I enjoy the idea that I've tricked my "lazy" self :) Of course, once I start, you know what happens ... It's soon done.
Thank you for this..I miss my tiny tornados 🌪 so much. All my babies busy adults but now having to adapt to my new abnormal normal.My husband has Parkinsons with Lewy body dementia.Many times he has irregular sleep.A wise girlfriend said your going to have to adapt like when babies were small. Sleep when he sleeps.Husband is totally dependant . He is wheelchair to bed and has to be feed..I have compramised to small goals,but avoiding 1 room my craft/ gym / art studio/ office/ catch all room..everytime I open the door I take a deep breath in close the door and cry...or I throw one more thing in there.I swear I think the junk & paperwork are breeding in there.I 👀 see your video today as the universe saying clean one small section and then treat yourself with a decadent cup of hot cocoa with 1 fancy chocolate center marshmallows ☕ who cares if it's 80 degrees outside it's a reward ! A 5 minute vaca pretending I'm in Aspen at a ski resort in November😉🤣 ⛷☃️
@@barbiec4312 thank you Barbie so much and back at you💝🕊we as women I think put ourselves always dead last in priorities..we have to keep reminding ourselves life is a marathon not a sprint &pace ourselves and try to make time even if 5 mins of self care💝
You have given me so many great ideas! I have be watching you for a long time and I appreciate what you teach.... My thoughts are like, yep, I can do this!!!!🥰
I started watching your videos about a week ago. Implementer the "clean kitchen before bedtime" routine. Now I wake up happier and feel motivated to clean the rest of my apartment regularly. It's literally improved my mental health. Thank you!
Look into FLYlady too. FLY stands for finally loving yourself . She recommends everyone start with habit #1 “ shine your sink” .. never go to bed without cleaning all the dishes and shine your sink . Look her up for additional motivation .
Your videos are so inspiring and you have helped me so much on my journey to becoming who I want to be and managing my household. I hope you realize how much good you are doing for people.
You are a remarkable young lady and I totally agree with your 3 tips. One more that I use when I see a task to be done is “No one else is going to do it.” No one else is going to do the dishes or pick up stuff so better just do it now. You are very inspiring and I really enjoy your videos. Thank you!
Me and my floors. Yesterday, I had to mop early in the morning while everyone else slept. That’s the only way I could do it. Using that energy, I also deep cleaned the upstairs bathroom. “I’m never gonna feel like it” definitely relates to the grading I have to do today. I need to do it for progress reports, so I just have to make myself an appointment. :)
Ever since I've heard you say "the future you will thank you!" I've been on top of my kitchen more. My husband cooks the way he likes to use the kitchen and I clean it. No harm, it's been like that since we met. But the one time I went out, left a clean kitchen and went to back to school night, and came back 2 hours later, kitchen was left a hot mess. The only things that were cooked was a french bread pizza for my son and my husband made himself a burger. I requested my husband to clean it up as I ate my take-out. It baffles me how my husband has a keen eye for color and detail in his design work but when it comes to cleaning, he misses the left over blobs of food on the counter. 😂🤯
Great video! I have a hard time getting motivated because we are retired and no one ever comes over to our house. So there's no motivation to complete tasks because.... I mean who's gonna see it? When my kids were home I had to stay on top of things because things can spiral out of control vert quickly. But now, It's hard to get motivated. Because I'm not pressed for time, there's always tomorrow. And honestly, I lose track of time. I can't remember the last time I've changed my sheets on my bed. Was it last week or the week before? Everyday is Saturday now.
I completely understand. I am 4 years retired. I do a huge clean up before my family comes to visit as rarely does anyone else come by. I have done major decluttering in recent months but it is a slow process.
We are like computers. They have to be programmed. I was absolutely a default thinker. It's called "stinkin thinkin". How do we think about ourselves? I now press the button of a new reality. I clean up the mess, because I'm worth it. I don't live under, I live above. This principle can be applied in every challenge. Hallelujah!
Love your videos. You have changed my house so much for the better. The prepackaged meals look great, but what about all that packaging? I feel so guilty already with all the Amazon boxes I have to dispose of.
I absolutely love your channel. You provide excellent content. However, I am sick of sponsored things that are just not practical. The meal thing looks delicious, but most of us are broke as all get out right now. That is $5.55 per meal minimum and you have to order 16 meals in one week to get that price. A meal serves ONE person. I can cook a meal for my family of six for that price. I 100% get that you need sponsorships to support your family. And I like using the click throughs and promo codes to support my favorite channels. But I wish people who seem so down to earth (like you) would come through with opportunities and promo codes for things that the average mama can really use.
Thx so much for your content not just for your content either but for your calm and friendly demeanor many of us I think that watch you are either alone or elderly or both and a mini have family certainly but those of us that are alone and or elderly I think very much enjoy how you're such a beautiful soul and your content is helpful so you're not just for the Young family woman and mother but you're good for us as well thank you I always look forward to your videos coming out take care and stay safe
It's also crucial to know that no one can just stop feeling how they feel and no one can just decide to have different thoughts. The catalyst to changing our feelings and changing our thoughts is literally by our actions. This is scientifically proven. An example I love is to tell people "Don't think of purple elephants." Well NOW you're thinking of purple elephants. I have a family member who loves to tell me and other family members who have anxiety when we're worried about something "Well just don't think about it." IMPOSSIBLE! No one and I do mean NO ONE can just do that. All of this is to say this is work and it does take practice. I struggled with negative self talk my entire life. And finally after some serious therapy and working on it daily I was able to break that habit. This is no different. So if you're struggling with getting things done give yourself some grace, know you're absolutely not alone, know it's not just a simple fix, AND know that with some work and doing these acts, literally going throw the motions even though it feels weird or useless, you CAN turn it around. I dropped the last clean spoon on the floor and surprised myself by saying "Well that's OK. I'm human. I'll just hand wash this and then eat my breakfast." What a change from my past where I would tell myself I'm an idiot and I would be really angry about it. Negative self talk is, unfortunately, incredibly powerful. And not in a good way. Thankfully self compassion is also powerful.😊
This is a great video. It’s hard to get motivated sometimes. It can be overwhelming when the task is big or when your emotions aren’t in the right place. I just have to start small like you said. Baby steps…
I’ve said this on one of your shorts but i’ll say it again. I enjoy listening to podcasts, but i only allow myself to listen to them while i clean. It gives me motivation to start cleaning simply because i wanna listen to a podcast. Another tip. Buy a pair of indoor sneakers! Only sneakers you wear inside. Wearing sneakers tricks your brain into thinking it’s time to move. Seriously. I always put sneakers on when i’m doing stuff around the house.
Thank you so much!!! You are so right…I’m never going to feel like it so just do it! I really enjoy your videos. I always feel like I’m getting great advice from a good friend. Have a blessed day!
These days I motivate myself by pretending someone in particular is coming over. Fat chance of that happening but it works. And the beauty of it, yesterday I only had about 20 minutes warning that my daughter was bringing friends over. Within 5 minutes, my place was ready.
Finished then I tackled my garden to get it ready for the much needed rain we need. One more load of laundry, lunch and washed dishes. Now resting before tackling dinner.
Thanks for the great video, I'm sure all these tips will help me flip the switch to being more productive. Loved the quote about "the rest of us show up & get to work!" 🥰 FYI...CookUnity sounds great, but it doesn't appear to be available for your Canadian viewers.
I've been watching your channel for more than a year. Your vids changed my attitude a lot. I became even more positive from your vibe. That is a plus from organization and motivation stuff. This video is not all about getting motivation to clean. It can apply for other stuff too. Thanks for that I really love your vibe. Love from a Thai girl living in Malaysia. You gave me kind of a breadcrumbs for me to stay stronger in this tough time.🧡 Keep going, Kallie!
Thank you for more great tips. Thanks to you I tidy my kitchen every night before bed no matter how tired I am. Morning me is always happy to come into a clean kitchen. I look forward to your videos.
I have to admit this: I really hate cleaning. I never have any motivation or any desire to clean. But when I see the house is messy it makes me feel like I have a million things to do. So I just start with one and that's cleaning the dishes. Then I clean the stove. Any clothes left over? I put in the washing machine.
I’m good til I sit, then I’m finished! This is what happens, but I do stuff til I’m finished with dinner, but once I sit and eat, I’m done! But I do my dishes in the morning, I’m more active in morning, if I just couldn’t that night!
Very Good tips, but for me personally, It works better to say something like" I love having a clean home" rather than I deserve a clean home. But that's just me 🤗
I’m on my phone and had the same experience. I was able to click View our meals and see pricing by only entering my zip code, but I still couldn’t see the types of available meals for my area. Kallie had another video where she shared how she creates burner email addresses using a service for exactly this type of scenario. Based on the pricing and the meals Kallie showed, the service looks great if you are looking to use this as a replacement for eating out. From this perspective, it’s budget friendly and probably healthier.
Love your energy and tips for motivation. Have enjoyed watching decluttering tips in numerous sessions during last week's GO HQ Summit. Was hoping to see more from you, but could only find one session about kids toys. Keep up the good work 👍
The “I deserve a clean house” was the golden ticket for me to find and stick to a cleaning routine. For years I felt like I was drowning in household tasks and always put it off to “I’m just not good at that” Last year I told myself I was going to challenge myself to get good at the things I’m not naturally good at. The first area to tackle was the cleaning routine and it started with “I deserve a clean house, my kids deserve growing up in a clean, orderly home” it’s been going so good!! Not perfect everyday, but good enough and eons better than before. It’s made a world of difference. The spaces in our home feel so calming now.
Kallie, I want to thank you so much for this Vlog!!!❤❤❤ I hate cleaning but I know I have to do it. I absolutely deserve a clean kitchen and I am grateful and so blessed for the house I living in. Right after I finished watching, I started mopping and washed my dishes. There was something that you said, or the way that you said it that really motivated me to get up. This is one vlog I will definitely watch when I need that motivation again. Best Wishes
It’s true if you just get started, a task is completed before you know it. I’d been putting off changing the cabinet pulls on my kitchen cabinets. It seemed as if it would take hours… so, I kept putting it off. I finally got to it a few days ago and it only took 40 minutes. Lol. Now to clean out my closets. 😂
HAPP¥ §UNDA¥ 9/18/22 🌎 & THANKS FOR §HARING!!! "PROCRASTINATION IS THE THEIF OF ⏰"....... I AL￦A¥§ have a thousand things to do and NEVER feel like doing AN¥ of them..... However, all of them are NON~NEGOTIABLES: Laundry, Cleaning, Dishes, Deadlines for my career etc........I remember how BLESSED I AM TO HAVE THESE RESPONSIBILITIES & then, I become my own cheerleader (clapping, leg tapping, rhymes + movement!!!) BLESSINGS TO ALL & CREATE A WHIMSICAL WEEK!!! XTRA 💕 FROM Detr💎it 👊!!!!
I’m so much worse at keeping up when I’m cohabiting with another adult… I usually dont mind to clean up after my child but it causes me serious rage when I’m the sole housekeeper in a two-adult household. I work. I pay **at least** half the bills. Why am I also expected to contribute more of my time to maintaining OUR home? Ugh… The next problem I have is that I’ll get started moving to take care of chores, I’m a bit of a perfectionist and it causes me to spend extra time on some chores.. I’ll spend 6 hours completing tasks and go to bed with a seriously sore back and hips 😭 I know keeping up is the solution, but it’s difficult to get started when I know it’s going to end in pain 😬 this also causes extra resentment if I’m cohabitating 🙃
I live alone, have a chill job and still my kitchen looks like your ‘tiny tornado’ situation! 😅 I really need to get better at keeping house for my own well-being. Feel like if I’m struggling now I’m not sure how I’ll deal when I have kids at home too. SOS 😂
Aloha Ms. Beautiful Coffee Lady, I simply adore your videos. If your videos can’t motivate me - nothing can 🤣. Due to severe Scoliosis, even when I’m super rested and motivated, I can’t just go go go. The lower back pain forces me to lie down for awhile and then I force myself to get all motivated again and little by little, day and night (I’m a Night Owl🦉) slowly but surely, my home is neat and clean, beautiful and Home Sweet Home🤍.
I think getting yourself in a good mood first helps!!! I take multi-vitamins every day to feel more energy/energized!! I listen to music I love, read good things I like,etc......I just have to get myself feeling good first. Then the motivation comes!! Sometimes I'm up doing things before I even think about it because I feel good 😊😁 and yes,first coffee lol
That mess is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... Oh, wait. Reason with *myself*. Right, got it. 😆
When I need cleaning motivation, I watch your videos! Thanks to you my house is less cluttered and messy than ever before, And just in time because my second is coming any day now. Thank you for all the wonderful videos!
Great info! I’m sharing this with a friend who often feels sluggish. I think your body at rest stays at rest idea is spot on. Bonnie Hunt’s dad said something similar to that. It was something like...Being idle promotes a feeling of tiredness, and work doesn’t get done. But when you’re move, you feel more energetic.
Great tips - you always have good tips! I'm never going to feel like it is a huge statement and hit home with so many at least me. Love the black dress!
I tried all these tips, but they don't work for me. Do you have any tips that will work for me? 2 things that do work for me, which I hardly do or hardly have due to depression, anxiety, and being a loner. Those two things are talking on the phone and expecting company.
Restaurant Quality is the worst....tasting good and good for you are two very different things 😊. please clarify if the company uses organic ingredients, MSG natural flavors, etc??
Ok!!!! I’ve listened to A LOT of videos to get motivated! But you’ve got some really good gems here!!! Had to stop mid video to write this comment!!! I’ll have to share my favorites after I finish watching 😅
I often think about when my husband, kids, and I were stuck living with my mom in a small apt.and i LONGED for my own place to clean and organize and make my own...no I'm a homeowner and I get to make my home my home!
As a teen, when Mom dropped off the vacuum cleaner in my room and closed me in to clean, I cried, quietly, dreading the task. It's not what I wanted to do. Fast forward 50 years, I can choose to not clean if I don't want to, but I enjoy it now. It's not something I HAVE to do, but the dopamine rush from finishing the dishes right down to wiping the sink dry, is totally worth it. It's good to be retired and an empty-nester. God bless you SuperMoms and Dads who aren't there yet. I pray that you find the strength you need to do it all. 🙂👍❤️
Did I see a Nespresso box in the video? How do you like Nespresso over Keurig? I have a Nespresso and kinda miss the simplicity of owning a Keurig. I also find Nespresso doesn't have many choices. What do you think? What's your favorite Nespresso coffee
"I... deserve a clean home." "I'm never gonna feel like it, so get up *now*, put on some music, get in motion and stay in motion." "Future me deserves it." I appreciate all your advice.
I can't tell you how helpful this was. I don't know why but this really set off a switch in my brain and I have been way more productive than I have ever been consistently. Thank you!
Luv these concepts, especially the 2nd one--already moving. I use this mindset a lot--on the way back from the bathroom, getting water, checking the mail--to sneak in small tasks that lead to accomplishing other task..progression not perfection!
Wow amazing and so inspiring always! Love all of your life advice so much always makes me feel better! You put the greatest ideas into great perspectives! Self care and deserve key words you’re amazing thanks so so much
As a Canadian, seeing you shake tomatoes out of a cardboard carton was like... whoa. Here we choose them individually out of a bin, loose. They're never in a cardboard sleeve.
Hahaha, the first thing you said was something like "most of us don't wake up thinking yay I get to clean." I literally do that!! I work from home while watching my baby and today we took him to a babysitter because I had a work meeting. The work meeting got done early and I literally just said "yay, I have 2 hours free to clean the house!" And I clicked on your video to listen to while I clean, and then your first comment made me laugh. lol
I just looked up motivation videos. I'm in a stressful place. I'm going to grad school part time, just started a new full time job. i feel like i have no time for laundry or cleaning my home and taking care of the pets. thank you so much!

I find the last one really hit home, "I deserve..." This is a motivator for me, thanks for your videos.
Not to mention if you have your chores done the relaxing is more relaxing
Changing the narrative is something you taught me & it's how I motivate myself all the time now. It's a powerful tool, thank you 💜
Thanks! I’m 55 and I have just recently adopted the say phrase,” I’m never go to feel like getting out of bed. “ since thinking of it that way, I haven’t been late to work!💕

"I'm never going to feel like doing this." This is me when it comes to exercise! Instead of listening to music to motivate me, I started listening to audiobooks and story podcasts during my workouts and only during my workouts. If I want to know what happens next in the story, I have to get moving!
I love this idea!!! Thanks for sharing this
This is a great idea!!
The quote that helps me is "If I dont do it today I never will" I tell that to myself everyday
When I make a list I call it a Pick List rather than a To Do List. This allows me to select the next task! A bit of a mind game, but it works for me!
Great point
This is a good idea !I like it.
Genius
I've been trying to come up with something for my kids and I love that idea! Both need to have a strong feeling of control and are really sensitive to phrasing so this is a great fit for us 😊
@@aprildawnsunshine4326 absolutely- it's a sibling game! Who can get off easiest by choosing the quick/ simple/ clean or etc chore lol

Same, for me it's depression but when I, have a break and a good day, I usually feel like cleaning. Kinda like some self care but for my environment
I've been living in my house for 47 years and sometimes I feel I've lost control. I'm in my seventies and don't always have the energy to do what I have to do.

Same here!
I am 68, and I agree she has some crazy good ideas and advice, including this video. It made total sense, and sounds easy to incorporate. Us elders can still learn new tricks from the young!
so wholesome
I jumped on the clean sink task recently. It’s amazing what a difference it makes.
So awesome!! 47 years is a long time and collects a lot of stuff! You are doing awesome!!! @plaas228
"Move a muscle, change a thought" and I can't think my way into right action, but I can act my way into right thinking".
Both help me tremendously!
Thanks Kalli!
THIS IS ONE MILLION PERCENT TRUE!!! 💖
Two things I’ve found that work for me. First is tying the cleaning to something else I’m doing anyway. If I need to use the restroom, I take the laundry back with me. If I’m making tea, I unload the dishwasher, etc. This has been a huge help for me.
Second, if a task seems daunting, I just tell myself I’m only going to do the first tiny part of it. Something is better than nothing. And sometimes I do a little more once I finish the first part. Eventually the once daunting task is done.
I agree, pairing a task with an action already in play! As you said, while my coffee/tea is brewing I challenge myself to clear the counters or sweep or put away dishes as fast as possible. It’s amazing how much can actually be done in a short amount of time, especially when it’s presented as a game/challenge. I do this with a timer too…15 minute clutter clean ups have been GOLD!
I have anxiety and depression and a lot of the time I let my space go, and get dirty and messy. I got into the notion to at least deep clean on the weekends and I always start with one or a bunchhh of your videos and you’re the only thing that makes me get up and end up with a decent clean space! Thank you so mcuh ❤
once you start its easier to keep up with it! i know its been a yr since you commented so i hope you have been keeping up with it! if not, nows your sign to get back into deep cleaning at least bi weekely :) just picking up can help our spaces feel better and personally it helps my depression
I am 8 weeks pregnant and I am so tired. Divine intervention is real but even God's help you have to take. I prayed to for help but I still have to get up and start and God will help me. I get what your saying free will is in our control.
I totally get this. When my kids were small I was a stay home mom. After a long time in sweat pants and slippers, and my house was trashed, I realized I HAD to put my regular shoes on in order to accomplish anything! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for these words. I needed them this morning. Example: I think "ugh" when my son wants to go golfing. I have to drive him. But I remind myself that he has good friends. He's outside getting exercise, and fresh air.
Good kid so I can't complain anymore!
Love this!! My hardest thing is i work a full job at a hospital, then have a 45 min drive home. I get relaxed on my drive and still have to hop out of the car and make supper, help with kids with homework, set out clothes for all of us for the next day. Pack lunches etc..and so I have to keep going or if I sit down even to fold clothes I could literally fall asleep. I tell myself my family deserves a clean house, my kids deserve a nice sit down supper and my husband needs me to help with home tasks since he works a longer day than me. Life keeps going weather you fight it or not and to say "I am willing and capable of doing these things" has always helped me. Thanks for another great video!
Again and always so helpful. When I find myself dreading a task, I usually realize I'm dreading the Entire task. So I joke with myself about finding the very most Tiny starting point that I don't dread. I make a game of how Tiny I can make it and I do that. It can be as small as putting an empty bowl out on the counter. I enjoy the idea that I've tricked my "lazy" self :) Of course, once I start, you know what happens ... It's soon done.
Thank you for this..I miss my tiny tornados 🌪 so much. All my babies busy adults but now having to adapt to my new abnormal normal.My husband has Parkinsons with Lewy body dementia.Many times he has irregular sleep.A wise girlfriend said your going to have to adapt like when babies were small. Sleep when he sleeps.Husband is totally dependant . He is wheelchair to bed and has to be feed..I have compramised to small goals,but avoiding 1 room my craft/ gym / art studio/ office/ catch all room..everytime I open the door I take a deep breath in close the door and cry...or I throw one more thing in there.I swear I think the junk & paperwork are breeding in there.I 👀 see your video today as the universe saying clean one small section and then treat yourself with a decadent cup of hot cocoa with 1 fancy chocolate center marshmallows ☕ who cares if it's 80 degrees outside it's a reward ! A 5 minute vaca pretending I'm in Aspen at a ski resort in November😉🤣 ⛷☃️
You are a wise and loving person. Sending strength and hugs.
@@barbiec4312 thank you Barbie so much and back at you💝🕊we as women I think put ourselves always dead last in priorities..we have to keep reminding ourselves life is a marathon not a sprint &pace ourselves and try to make time even if 5 mins of self care💝
I was sitting outside with my coffee, wishing I had the motivation to get up and move. And look what I came across!
Thank you!
You have given me so many great ideas! I have be watching you for a long time and I appreciate what you teach.... My thoughts are like, yep, I can do this!!!!🥰
I started watching your videos about a week ago. Implementer the "clean kitchen before bedtime" routine. Now I wake up happier and feel motivated to clean the rest of my apartment regularly. It's literally improved my mental health. Thank you!
Look into FLYlady too. FLY stands for finally loving yourself . She recommends everyone start with habit #1 “ shine your sink” .. never go to bed without cleaning all the dishes and shine your sink . Look her up for additional motivation .
@@theresabrown1272 thank you💜. Will definitely look her up
Your videos are so inspiring and you have helped me so much on my journey to becoming who I want to be and managing my household. I hope you realize how much good you are doing for people.
You are a remarkable young lady and I totally agree with your 3 tips. One more that I use when I see a task to be done is “No one else is going to do it.” No one else is going to do the dishes or pick up stuff so better just do it now. You are very inspiring and I really enjoy your videos. Thank you!
Yeah, this is where I say if no one else is willing to do it then screw it. Currently struggling with ‘if they don’t care than I don’t care’. 😒
Polly, I tell myself this all the time.😁
Me and my floors. Yesterday, I had to mop early in the morning while everyone else slept. That’s the only way I could do it. Using that energy, I also deep cleaned the upstairs bathroom. “I’m never gonna feel like it” definitely relates to the grading I have to do today. I need to do it for progress reports, so I just have to make myself an appointment. :)
Ever since I've heard you say "the future you will thank you!" I've been on top of my kitchen more. My husband cooks the way he likes to use the kitchen and I clean it. No harm, it's been like that since we met. But the one time I went out, left a clean kitchen and went to back to school night, and came back 2 hours later, kitchen was left a hot mess. The only things that were cooked was a french bread pizza for my son and my husband made himself a burger. I requested my husband to clean it up as I ate my take-out. It baffles me how my husband has a keen eye for color and detail in his design work but when it comes to cleaning, he misses the left over blobs of food on the counter. 😂🤯
Great video!
I have a hard time getting motivated because we are retired and no one ever comes over to our house. So there's no motivation to complete tasks because.... I mean who's gonna see it?
When my kids were home I had to stay on top of things because things can spiral out of control vert quickly. But now, It's hard to get motivated. Because I'm not pressed for time, there's always tomorrow. And honestly, I lose track of time. I can't remember the last time I've changed my sheets on my bed. Was it last week or the week before? Everyday is Saturday now.
I completely understand. I am 4 years retired. I do a huge clean up before my family comes to visit as rarely does anyone else come by. I have done major decluttering in recent months but it is a slow process.
You must do it for yourself.
We are like computers. They have to be programmed. I was absolutely a default thinker. It's called "stinkin thinkin". How do we think about ourselves? I now press the button of a new reality. I clean up the mess, because I'm worth it. I don't live under, I live above. This principle can be applied in every challenge. Hallelujah!
Love your videos. You have changed my house so much for the better. The prepackaged meals look great, but what about all that packaging? I feel so guilty already with all the Amazon boxes I have to dispose of.
Yeah I just can’t do it. I can’t get past the wastefulness.
I absolutely love your channel. You provide excellent content. However, I am sick of sponsored things that are just not practical. The meal thing looks delicious, but most of us are broke as all get out right now. That is $5.55 per meal minimum and you have to order 16 meals in one week to get that price. A meal serves ONE person. I can cook a meal for my family of six for that price. I 100% get that you need sponsorships to support your family. And I like using the click throughs and promo codes to support my favorite channels. But I wish people who seem so down to earth (like you) would come through with opportunities and promo codes for things that the average mama can really use.
Thx so much for your content not just for your content either but for your calm and friendly demeanor many of us I think that watch you are either alone or elderly or both and a mini have family certainly but those of us that are alone and or elderly I think very much enjoy how you're such a beautiful soul and your content is helpful so you're not just for the Young family woman and mother but you're good for us as well thank you I always look forward to your videos coming out take care and stay safe
It's also crucial to know that no one can just stop feeling how they feel and no one can just decide to have different thoughts. The catalyst to changing our feelings and changing our thoughts is literally by our actions. This is scientifically proven. An example I love is to tell people "Don't think of purple elephants." Well NOW you're thinking of purple elephants. I have a family member who loves to tell me and other family members who have anxiety when we're worried about something "Well just don't think about it." IMPOSSIBLE! No one and I do mean NO ONE can just do that. All of this is to say this is work and it does take practice. I struggled with negative self talk my entire life. And finally after some serious therapy and working on it daily I was able to break that habit. This is no different. So if you're struggling with getting things done give yourself some grace, know you're absolutely not alone, know it's not just a simple fix, AND know that with some work and doing these acts, literally going throw the motions even though it feels weird or useless, you CAN turn it around. I dropped the last clean spoon on the floor and surprised myself by saying "Well that's OK. I'm human. I'll just hand wash this and then eat my breakfast." What a change from my past where I would tell myself I'm an idiot and I would be really angry about it. Negative self talk is, unfortunately, incredibly powerful. And not in a good way. Thankfully self compassion is also powerful.😊
This is a great video. It’s hard to get motivated sometimes. It can be overwhelming when the task is big or when your emotions aren’t in the right place. I just have to start small like you said. Baby steps…
I’ve said this on one of your shorts but i’ll say it again.
I enjoy listening to podcasts, but i only allow myself to listen to them while i clean. It gives me motivation to start cleaning simply because i wanna listen to a podcast.
Another tip. Buy a pair of indoor sneakers! Only sneakers you wear inside. Wearing sneakers tricks your brain into thinking it’s time to move. Seriously. I always put sneakers on when i’m doing stuff around the house.
Thank you so much!!! You are so right…I’m never going to feel like it so just do it! I really enjoy your videos. I always feel like I’m getting great advice from a good friend. Have a blessed day!
These days I motivate myself by pretending someone in particular is coming over. Fat chance of that happening but it works. And the beauty of it, yesterday I only had about 20 minutes warning that my daughter was bringing friends over. Within 5 minutes, my place was ready.
OMG thank you for the inspiration. Going to iron, fold and put away my 2 loads of laundry.
Finished then I tackled my garden to get it ready for the much needed rain we need. One more load of laundry, lunch and washed dishes. Now resting before tackling dinner.
Thanks for the great video, I'm sure all these tips will help me flip the switch to being more productive. Loved the quote about "the rest of us show up & get to work!" 🥰
FYI...CookUnity sounds great, but it doesn't appear to be available for your Canadian viewers.
I've been watching your channel for more than a year. Your vids changed my attitude a lot. I became even more positive from your vibe. That is a plus from organization and motivation stuff. This video is not all about getting motivation to clean. It can apply for other stuff too. Thanks for that I really love your vibe. Love from a Thai girl living in Malaysia. You gave me kind of a breadcrumbs for me to stay stronger in this tough time.🧡 Keep going, Kallie!
Super helpful.
Thank you for more great tips. Thanks to you I tidy my kitchen every night before bed no matter how tired I am. Morning me is always happy to come into a clean kitchen. I look forward to your videos.
Love it! And it actually can apply to a lot of things in life. Thank you 🤗
I don't know how I found this video but I am so glad I did. Made me emotional and realized I need to change my thinking. Thank you.
I have to admit this: I really hate cleaning. I never have any motivation or any desire to clean. But when I see the house is messy it makes me feel like I have a million things to do. So I just start with one and that's cleaning the dishes. Then I clean the stove. Any clothes left over? I put in the washing machine.
I loved this so,many great nuggets in here😊
Love this! Just what I needed today 😊
When I was trying to motivate myself this morning I said "Once I'm up and at it I'm fine." This post was just the reinforcement I needed! Thank you!!
I’m good til I sit, then I’m finished! This is what happens, but I do stuff til I’m finished with dinner, but once I sit and eat, I’m done! But I do my dishes in the morning, I’m more active in morning, if I just couldn’t that night!
Very Good tips, but for me personally, It works better to say something like" I love having a clean home" rather than I deserve a clean home. But that's just me 🤗
This amount I need this video this morning 😂😂
Today is my cleaning day, so great timing! 😂
So u can't even look at meal plans without entering your email and zip? Am I doing something wrong? 🤔
I’m on my phone and had the same experience. I was able to click View our meals and see pricing by only entering my zip code, but I still couldn’t see the types of available meals for my area. Kallie had another video where she shared how she creates burner email addresses using a service for exactly this type of scenario.
Based on the pricing and the meals Kallie showed, the service looks great if you are looking to use this as a replacement for eating out. From this perspective, it’s budget friendly and probably healthier.
Yess this is great. Just the video I needed
Love your energy and tips for motivation. Have enjoyed watching decluttering tips in numerous sessions during last week's GO HQ Summit. Was hoping to see more from you, but could only find one session about kids toys. Keep up the good work 👍
The “I deserve a clean house” was the golden ticket for me to find and stick to a cleaning routine. For years I felt like I was drowning in household tasks and always put it off to “I’m just not good at that” Last year I told myself I was going to challenge myself to get good at the things I’m not naturally good at. The first area to tackle was the cleaning routine and it started with “I deserve a clean house, my kids deserve growing up in a clean, orderly home” it’s been going so good!! Not perfect everyday, but good enough and eons better than before. It’s made a world of difference. The spaces in our home feel so calming now.
Great video, Kallie! Thank you!
A great video! Thank you 👌
I so love this. I totally agree with what you have said. It is so much easier to do things with a more positive thought process.
This is so awesome! Thank you!!!
I use your ideas love them
Love your channel ❤
This is a super helpful video!
Brilliant tips, thank you!
needed this! thank you
A BIG THANK YOU!! This is just what I need to help me get started! I would love to watch this everyday to help me get the wheels rolling 😊❤
Good tips. Thanks.
Kallie, I want to thank you so much for this Vlog!!!❤❤❤ I hate cleaning but I know I have to do it. I absolutely deserve a clean kitchen and I am grateful and so blessed for the house I living in. Right after I finished watching, I started mopping and washed my dishes. There was something that you said, or the way that you said it that really motivated me to get up. This is one vlog I will definitely watch when I need that motivation again. Best Wishes
This is THE MOST helpful thought process tips I have ever heard and exactly what I needed! Thank you so so much for all of your hard work on this one
It’s true if you just get started, a task is completed before you know it. I’d been putting off changing the cabinet pulls on my kitchen cabinets. It seemed as if it would take hours… so, I kept putting it off. I finally got to it a few days ago and it only took 40 minutes. Lol. Now to clean out my closets. 😂
Those are my plans, my bedroom.......ugh!!!!
Sweet advice 💝
So glad I found you, a lot of organization motivators are great but their voices annoy me. You have a great delivery, thank you subscribed!
This was incredibly motivating! Thank you!

I’m so much worse at keeping up when I’m cohabiting with another adult… I usually dont mind to clean up after my child but it causes me serious rage when I’m the sole housekeeper in a two-adult household. I work. I pay **at least** half the bills. Why am I also expected to contribute more of my time to maintaining OUR home?
Ugh…
The next problem I have is that I’ll get started moving to take care of chores, I’m a bit of a perfectionist and it causes me to spend extra time on some chores.. I’ll spend 6 hours completing tasks and go to bed with a seriously sore back and hips 😭 I know keeping up is the solution, but it’s difficult to get started when I know it’s going to end in pain 😬 this also causes extra resentment if I’m cohabitating 🙃
I love this video! You gave such good advice HOWEVER! Now I have a different problem. I want to keep watching your videos instead of cleaning 😢
I live alone, have a chill job and still my kitchen looks like your ‘tiny tornado’ situation! 😅 I really need to get better at keeping house for my own well-being. Feel like if I’m struggling now I’m not sure how I’ll deal when I have kids at home too. SOS 😂
Aloha Ms. Beautiful Coffee Lady, I simply adore your videos. If your videos can’t motivate me - nothing can 🤣. Due to severe Scoliosis, even when I’m super rested and motivated, I can’t just go go go. The lower back pain forces me to lie down for awhile and then I force myself to get all motivated again and little by little, day and night (I’m a Night Owl🦉) slowly but surely, my home is neat and clean, beautiful and Home Sweet Home🤍.
I think getting yourself in a good mood first helps!!! I take multi-vitamins every day to feel more energy/energized!! I listen to music I love, read good things I like,etc......I just have to get myself feeling good first. Then the motivation comes!! Sometimes I'm up doing things before I even think about it because I feel good 😊😁 and yes,first coffee lol
That mess is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop...
Oh, wait. Reason with *myself*. Right, got it. 😆
When I need cleaning motivation, I watch your videos! Thanks to you my house is less cluttered and messy than ever before, And just in time because my second is coming any day now. Thank you for all the wonderful videos!
Great info! I’m sharing this with a friend who often feels sluggish. I think your body at rest stays at rest idea is spot on.
Bonnie Hunt’s dad said something similar to that. It was something like...Being idle promotes a feeling of tiredness, and work doesn’t get done. But when you’re move, you feel more energetic.
Great tips - you always have good tips!
I'm never going to feel like it is a huge statement and hit home with so many at least me.
Love the black dress!
I tried all these tips, but they don't work for me.
Do you have any tips that will work for me?
2 things that do work for me, which I hardly do or hardly have due to depression, anxiety, and being a loner.
Those two things are talking on the phone and expecting company.
Restaurant Quality is the worst....tasting good and good for you are two very different things 😊. please clarify if the company uses organic ingredients, MSG natural flavors, etc??
Ok!!!! I’ve listened to A LOT of videos to get motivated! But you’ve got some really good gems here!!! Had to stop mid video to write this comment!!! I’ll have to share my favorites after I finish watching 😅
I often think about when my husband, kids, and I were stuck living with my mom in a small apt.and i LONGED for my own place to clean and organize and make my own...no I'm a homeowner and I get to make my home my home!
As a teen, when Mom dropped off the vacuum cleaner in my room and closed me in to clean, I cried, quietly, dreading the task. It's not what I wanted to do. Fast forward 50 years, I can choose to not clean if I don't want to, but I enjoy it now. It's not something I HAVE to do, but the dopamine rush from finishing the dishes right down to wiping the sink dry, is totally worth it. It's good to be retired and an empty-nester. God bless you SuperMoms and Dads who aren't there yet. I pray that you find the strength you need to do it all. 🙂👍❤️
Did I see a Nespresso box in the video? How do you like Nespresso over Keurig? I have a Nespresso and kinda miss the simplicity of owning a Keurig. I also find Nespresso doesn't have many choices. What do you think? What's your favorite Nespresso coffee
Thank you for more wonderful meal ideas! I'll be fixing all of them. Blessings to you and your family! 🙂
"I...
deserve a clean home."
"I'm never gonna feel like it, so get up *now*, put on some music, get in motion and stay in motion."
"Future me deserves it."
I appreciate all your advice.
I can't tell you how helpful this was. I don't know why but this really set off a switch in my brain and I have been way more productive than I have ever been consistently. Thank you!
Luv these concepts, especially the 2nd one--already moving. I use this mindset a lot--on the way back from the bathroom, getting water, checking the mail--to sneak in small tasks that lead to accomplishing other task..progression not perfection!
Wow amazing and so inspiring always! Love all of your life advice so much always makes me feel better! You put the greatest ideas into great perspectives! Self care and deserve key words you’re amazing thanks so so much
As a Canadian, seeing you shake tomatoes out of a cardboard carton was like... whoa. Here we choose them individually out of a bin, loose. They're never in a cardboard sleeve.
Hahaha, the first thing you said was something like "most of us don't wake up thinking yay I get to clean." I literally do that!! I work from home while watching my baby and today we took him to a babysitter because I had a work meeting. The work meeting got done early and I literally just said "yay, I have 2 hours free to clean the house!" And I clicked on your video to listen to while I clean, and then your first comment made me laugh. lol
I just looked up motivation videos. I'm in a stressful place. I'm going to grad school part time, just started a new full time job. i feel like i have no time for laundry or cleaning my home and taking care of the pets. thank you so much!
