last year i rendered a garden wall that was extended from 3ft high to 6ft high, my friend was going to do the job about 4yrs earlier but it was never done, so last year i thought ive had enough of that wall im going to do it, so i did. this year i replaced a very rickety back door step, i mixed and poured the concrete, just before i started i said to myself "what am i doing, I cant do this", then I thought why am I saying this, of course I can do this, so I did it. I'm 70yrs old and my husband is disabled but very proud of me. So if I can do it you can do it. well done Sophia and thankyou
Crossing off small tasks. Gives such joy! Even more so, I am realizing the amount of energy it was wasting whenever I thought about them. Thank you, Sophia for the encouragement in getting things done.
Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into sharing this with us all ❤️ I've been doing my own decluttering, organizing and catching up in my life. So appreciative of you 🙌
Sophia, I'm so proud of you for getting your jobs done in a timely fashion! I personally like working at my own pace because I'm 61 now, and I'm not trying to where my body down in the process.
Sophia, this was such an inspiring video. I have always beat myself up about how long I took to do things instead of being happy at what I just accomplished. I love your new mindset. :" I'm not here to look at the past. I am here to make changes and improve my tomorrow." Brilliant! That's going to be my new mantra. Thank you ,Sophia! 💖
I dont really comment on videos but i have been watching you for years and you are my favourite youtuber. I love everything you do and appreciate you being so real. You are doing amazing and may i add you look fantastic. After 3 back ops and both hips replaced i have not done much and picked up a lot of weight. You are my inspiration to start changing it at my pace. Love you lovely family and all you stand for. Blessings. Lotsa love. Nicky from south africa
Get well soon Nicky! 💕
You inspire me! I'm the only procrastinator in my family, so.. it's not easy being me 😆
Definitely treat yourself to an electric screw driver. They’re so handy.
This series is so empowering. It makes me say with hands in the air,,,"I did it myself!"
You are an amazing person who tries so hard to keep her home clean and thank you for taking us on your journey.
A girl and her power drill is a thing of beauty! ☺
Lol. I could barely lift it. Did 20 minutes of weight lifting that morning, I was so sore!
Making my own list! Thank you🤪
Sophia, because of you, I finally touched up the paint in my living room. I have been looking at the spots and marks for months. Thank you for the motivation to get out to the shed and get the paint and do it. It took 10 minutes. I just didn't want to go to the shed to get the paint. It's unbelievable. I am doing what you are doing now around my house because you are right, these things don't take long, and I just keep putting them off. Thank you for your inspiration. I have aatched you're videos since the beginning, and honestly, you continue to inspire me always. Thank you for keeping it real and sharing your life and wonderful family life ❤️
That is awesome! So happy for you!
Confession: the panel to front of my bathroom vanity has been broken for like 4 yrs! 🙀 it happens and like you said it wasn’t a priority! We all have these issues. Home maintenance is a full time job, there are going to be somethings that get left undone.
Thank you Sophia I now am inspired to do some jobs I’ve been wanting to do. Love your videos. Your garden has been looking wonderful. Take care🌹💐🌷💕
I still have two rooms that's not organized. We have lived here for over 3 years. Some things have not even been put where they need to go. We are looking at things and making decisions. Keep, toss, or donate. But, we just don't stay with the task long enough to finish it. I love this series. Enjoy watching all your videos.
You are such an inspiration! This is my favorite series that you have ever done!! :)
Really? Wow. Thank you!
Thank you for showing us your to-do list! I just hung up several pictures on the walls that I had procrastinated! You are motivating me for sure :)
So happy it inspired you!
Sophia, watching you being so busy indeed is very inspiring! 🙏🏻Thank you!
I love those series you did a very great job's, thank you for inspiring us and giving a push to go do our procrastinating job's 👍👍❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹
I love this series!! Go Sophia.
Wow, your motivation is so inspiring. I procrastinate so much, it's beyond ridiculous. Thank you for the motivation to just to the stuff! Love this series Sophia.
You must have been a carpenter in a previous life you are a master at getting household things done you inspire other housewives not to depend solely on their husband to do homecrepairs
Thank you and that is the entire point of this channel.
Taking care of business! 💪
That Instagram hack to remove the plastic inserts is genius, I had not idea! Great job on all of your projects, you are inspiring me to get a few of mine done too.
Great marking more off your list. Your hair looks fantastic. Reminds me of the movie stars from 1930-1940's
Thank you. I have been trying to channel a vintage vibe for a while.
Watching you has inspired me to fix my kitchen cupboard door witch needs new hinges. The one door will not close all the way, and it’s been at least a year.
I’ll have to say I’ll have to say I’ve had a few unkind comments from subscribers about why I haven’t fixed this or that like the vanity panel or the door on my dryer that was closed with a bungee cord and I tried to brush it off but for a minute they did kinda hurt my feelings. I’ve been to many a person house and there plenty that still need fixed there and I don’t judge. Life happens and if it’s not essential to every day life so what if it doesn’t get fixed in a timely manner. It’s more important to take time for yourself, spend time with family, take care of more important matters. Also we all have things we procrastinate (some more than others aka me 🙋🏼♀️) such is it’s life!!!
I have that same printer. Love that you can just add ink as you need it. So much cheaper that way. I love these types of videos that you do. Very motivating. I have FINALLY, after a year and a half of living in our new-ish house, hung up my paintings and pictures in my office. I also did some sprucing on the front porch which I'd been putting off. Feels good! Thanks for the motivation!
You are so welcome!
Yea🎉🎉🎉!! You did it!!! AND I cleaned my oven that I had been putting off for at least a year! Took me two days but it looks so clean and sparkly!! I am proud off myself!! Thanks Sophia for my motivation!!❤
Great job! And I am proud of you!
You're doing a great job with getting the list done. and yes you're encouraging.
So motivating Sophia, I made my own list, now I only have to start fixing ..
It feels good to get those "little" things done!! Great job!! You are doing a fantastic job with scratching off your list!😊❤👍
Take real wooden toothpicks and dip them in wood glue and fill the hole, let it dry overnite, you can break off the toothpicks, and they will just about break off even with the top of the cabinet, then screw the hinge in. I've fixed many things this way and it holds up for the life of the piece.
Genius!!!
@@mygreatchallenge My father taught me that trick, he was a gem.
Bigger holes you can break off a wooden match stick!
@@ucfhillcollege8296 I've tried both, and prefer the toothpicks, they break off at the right point easier after the glue dries.
You are amazing!!! Your videos do motivate me but physically I am not able to do most of the things that I want to do. You don't know what you have until you no longer are able to do simple things. Love your videos! I saw the video where you changed your window treatments and I never knew there were self adhesive window blinds. I ordered some. Love them. Thank you for sharing that. Hope you have a great upcoming week! ❤😘😊
So glad you were able to find blinds you could install with minimum efforts.
I've relied on your philosophy to navigate a really hard change in my life. Thank you for focusing on the progress and "no shame"!
My problem, procrastinated job, is one half of a bifold door pair that I ended up taking down and have yet to rehang because I can't find the right hardware. It's original to our house (29 years old). Still hopeful I'll get it done, but so far, I've purchased 3 kits, and none have worked🙄 So my washer & dryer closet in my mudroom is half open (and loud LOL!)
You are my hero!!
I love ❣️ you Sofia!
Yes!!! Makes you feel good, I know!!! You have motivated me, and I’m getting things done, too!! Thank you, Sophia!!
You are great
Well done Sophia. You really are on fire now getting so many task done.
Sophia, would you be willing to share what you are doing with your hair lately? Products/styling/cut are all on point. I have your curls and I'd love to know how you're getting them so lovely :-)
Nothing really I let them air dry. I have been using Love your curls shampoo conditioner and the leave in cream. Maybe that s it. Other than that, I don t do anything with my hair.
This ( the kitchen cabinet ) is a perfect example of how many of my projects go. It’s so frustrating. Some things are just too much of a puzzle and some things are just physically challenging for me.
I always remember when you were cleaning or decluttering your cabinets, you would skip these and just say the paper towels are in there. You would never open the doors or show us them being cleaned out. I wondered why and now I know!!
Uh oh!
Love this new series as well. Very encouraging. I love your inspiring messages ❤️
You are a dear sweet friend.
Love & prayers ❤️ 🙏🏻
Thank you so much!
I felt your frustration with the screws n the cabinets. I tend to put off doing things because I worry about the what ifs when trying to fix things. When I finally get around to it most of the time it's not as hard as I was making it out to b in my head. Good luck on your list I know u will accomplish finishing it.
You are so inspiring! I love this series
Just making a list is an accomplishment. I have a cabinet/desk like yours that needs help too.
You inspired me…❤️❤️
Very well done Sophia. Thank you for the motivation to get things done. Loveyour channel. Been with you for a long time.
Thank you so much for sticking around !
Behold, my box of screws.......Love Sophia.
Well done!
👏
I loved this. It was motivating and helpful.
So proud of you Sophia!!!
Well done Sophia.
Bravo!
Hope you check your pockets before doing the laundry! 😂
Lol. If only you knew what I left in there ...
Bravo
I painted my living room/kitchen 2 years ago but didn’t finish the trim after hurting myself.
I hate seeing it unfinished but I have no time now that I’m in school and hubby is laid up from back surgery. By the time I get to it, I will likely be ready to paint the room another color🤷♀️
Lol. Fact!
I hope you both recover
💜💜💜😊
I like how you have your larger pans hanging from the ceiling....or maybe from a beam? Did I miss that video? Hope you had a restful weekend.
I did not film it. Those are just two ikea towel racks the heavy duty kind, I installed them with 7 in screws into the support beam.
@@mygreatchallenge Oh my goodness, you are so smart when it comes to this stuff! I'm in a little house and soon will be moving to a VERY LITTLE primitive cabin built in 1820. It's having some work on it now with 2 floor support beams repaired, and will need chinking done over. Power is on, water is on, wifi hookup is done. It does have an add on small kitchen and bathroom. It's my dream come true. Your channel is one of my happy places to come visit. I know I don't comment very often, but I want you to know what a delight and blessing you are to me and I'm sure so many others. I don't forget the thumbs up and share often......Sherry from Tennessee
I would love a video addressing your weight loss and health/exercise routine. Did you already post one and I missed it? You are looking healthy and fit.
No I am not discussing this on this platform. People have been awful. Between the ones telling me I am not doing it right, the ones wishing me to fail or that I ll regain it all back and of course the one promoting what they did as what I should do instead, or selling their snake oil. I don't have time or energy for policing the comment section 24 7 or being exposed to haters who don't want to see women succeed. But feel free to PM me.
Yes, I procrastinate for all reasons you mention, but I have one more biggie and maybe you can help: I don't know how to do all the things, little though you may call them, and I have zero $$ to pay someone to help, and I am not a young person (really the total opposite of that). Any good words of advice?
There are thousands of youtube videos and websites to show you how to. If it s a matter of strength. Maybe you can get a few volunteer teenagers from one of your local churches, or your church to help. You would be surprised how many people are willing to help
@@mygreatchallenge tysm for answering. I know how busy you are. I think the main thing i have to do is learn from you to change my perspective to seeing possibility rather than seeing reasons why I cant
Exactly. What s the worst that could happen?
"Behold - my box of screws" - as I said to my husband, there are not that many women who can say that!
Can ypu please post the list. Thank you
Do not feel bad girlfriend! My two shelves in my walkin closet fell over 5 years ago...I have done nothing with it. Finally a friends husband fixed it for me. Only took 5 years! LOL
💪🪛 So inspiring! We're slowly but surely working on some home improvements too.
You got this! There is no timeline. Just do something every week, before you know it, it will all be done!
