My husband’s grandmother would always say “Never leave a room empty handed.” It really does make a huge difference if when leaving a room you take something that’s been left behind back to where your headed. Enjoyed the video as always. Great tips.
The sky is the limit for you, I’ve been following you since the beginning and you are becoming a star, I wish I can have your level of confidence! Congrats Shea
I really appreciate that this ended the way it did instead of the sanctimony “DO IT ALLLLLL YOURSELF” The more I outsource the better I am as a mom and business woman, thank you!
YES! I love to do this! When I'm alone, the music is blasting while I clean. (I live in the country and do not have "next-door" neighbors). It makes me feel happier and I clean faster and burn more calories while doing it because I'm semi-dancing all around.
Probably the best video I have ever watched in regards to tips that will ACTUALLY HELP. Sometimes these videos are a lot of the same , but these were relatable AND genius. Thank you!!
I started pick a few items to wear through the week and make it a challenge to mix and match with that. It's been a fun game and I have the least amount of laundry than everyone at my house.
Jup, me too, I can wholeheartedly say that rewearing my clothes twice, three or even four times (jeans and stuff) has changed my life :-D So much less washing, ironing, mindfucking ;-p
I wear clothes a few times before I wash them. I do not sweat or smell and I don't need to wash my clothes so frequently. Too much washing also destroys you garments. Don't judge just think about it.
anellimm i definitely wear my shirts twice or even three times if I didn’t sweat in them or get them dirty! I also put a lot of my items on a quick cycle or delicate cycle. There is no reason for a shirt that I wore for 4 hours or jeans that I wore one day to be tossed and cycled for 40 min in the machine. The things that I only wear once before a wash are underwear, socks and sometimes pants/jeans. I totally get what you mean!
THANK YOU!!! Finally I'm so glad that this is actually a normal thing because I do it all the time with my jeans and other clothes!!! If it smells clean then...it is!! You save water, soap, detergent, the garment lifetime, etc. Overall when you add all of these things together, you'll save time + money!!!
I'm the same. Underwear and socks/stockings are put for a wash daily. Everything else has to be smelly or visibly soiled. I do usually hang clothing to air for a while before putting it away, which helps.
So true! When I've not had enough sleep for too long (like 4-5 days) I am literally worthless, super cranky and only want to eat carbs all day long. Even losing 30 minutes a night can really add up over time.
Agree. Going to bed half an hour earlier than normal and preparing your house and your family for the precious rest is just as important as waking up early
Shea, I've just bumped into one of your vids last night where you were saying "Don't subscribe yet because you don't know me yet, but maybe by the middle of this video..." Well, I've been back for more videos and this! Aged-old PRACTICAL PRODUCTIVITY LIFE SKILLS that never go out of style. And yes, humanity needs to be reminded of them every now and again by any random people. Shea, you are the best!
Whenever I feel stylish I always say I am "channeling my inner Shea" and now I can say that when I am feeling productive and organized. One of my favourite videos ever, Shea, thanks so much!!
Honestly, tried the 10 minute tidy and it was life changing! I usually tidy at night anyway but have been so tired and never thought to put a time on it. Just know how much I was able to do in 10 min pushed me to finish. Thanks girl. This was good!
Try putting outfits together complete with jewelry and then choose each mornings which one to wear. That way you have everything you need bit it's not so rigid.
I usually pick what I'm going to wear before I get into the shower. I've find that I spend less time deciding what to wear if I do this. Choosing a week's worth of outfits ahead of time would kill my soul.
Thank you for putting that ending in, it can be difficult to remember that asking for help is not a weakness and who said you've got to do it all your own, especially if you have kids
When I go grocery shopping I get just 3 items. I set my timer to about 10minutes and speed shop. The last time I did this I was in and out of the shop within 7 minutes! By speed shopping you are less likely to be tempted to get more than the 3 items on your list, which saves both time and money.
@@kirschblute8429 I work in a supermarket most days so it's easier for me. If you live local to a grocery store or supermarket speed shopping for just 3 items each time can work. However, it also depends on how much you can physically carry when using public transport as well. If you only want to go grocery shopping once a month and you know which aisles everything on your list is located in the store, you can still set a time limit for shopping. Personally I don't drive.
Your tips are so relatable and easy to implement. You have been my inspiration for years and it is so refreshing that you branched out into this topic. Extremely well done.
I find that if I need to get work done for school, when I clean/organize something first, I’m more likely to get the work done. For example, I’ll pick anything on the floor of my room up or wipe my computer/phone down with a wipe THEN start the work. It really helps me
Yeah, like formal dinner wear especially! I’ll go out maybe 5 times a year or less to something where I use a tux or dress and I honestly never sweat or get it dirty! Not sure why so many people wash clothes they didn’t even wear for a whole day!
I’m all about the lists too. It keeps me from being scattered, and there’s a weird satisfaction to crossing things off the list. I think another important thing is some sort of daily self care, even if it’s just a few minutes of something that soothes you.
9:18 I found that in doing this, less stuff gets lost. We spend so much time looking for something that was misplaced, and can drive ourselves crazy in the meantime.
To add to saving time with the chore of cooking: Make freezer friendly foods. It takes the same amount of time to make a double batch of turkey chili or a baked pasta and freeze the rest. It's such a nice feeling to be able to come home after a busy day and know dinner is ready to go.
So proud of you. When i heard u have a job outside of TH-cam , i instantly loved u more than i already do . I just feel like people can do so much more in their lives but they don't.
Btw thank you for encouraging people to ask for help! My parents did not live near family but we always had great neighbors and took turns hosting play dates and sleep overs to give each other a break. It was fun for the kids too. It was about 5 families. Ask neighbors, friends at work/school/church/swim practice - whatever!
😂 I think you mean , us not going on you tube. I watch far too much of it at the moment. It’s been great for self development in the beginning but now I’m watching other people getting on with there life.
@@marienguessan8520 1 second is an amount so unfathomable that even half of that time frame would be lifetimes beyond "so much." One could never accentuate such immeasurable wasted delinquency in what rare and prescience time was given to us. Your existence is non at this point.
I love your videos, Shea! The best tool I’ve bought to date: the Dyson cordless vacuum. With two toddlers it is a time saver! Plus, I feel like I vacuum more frequently (= more cleanliness) but it overall takes less time 🙌🏼
I love your tips. I grew up in the 90s advice where women were expected to be super in their career, in their homes, as a mother, gosh. I was a teen then and by the time i reached my 20s, building a career i knew i wasnt gonna be my mom, whose ALWAYS clean and orderly, awake at 5am to do whatever she has to do(yes, she was a working mom, who still manages to be there for all school activities for us). Its hard to admit that i cant do it all, that ill need help in many areas when i myself becomes a mom myself and watching somebody who has a lot on her plate do what you do, and share all these to the likes of us, thank you for the inspiration and aharing of knowledge.
Hi Shea, loved the video. There is only one thing I want to emphasis. The importance of time to do nothing at all!! Even 10 minutes a day. Shutting off your mind, clearing it. I used to be super multi tasker too, until I got a severe case of anxiety disorder. This is when I realized doing one thing at a time is OK!!! And every minute doesn’t have to be productive. Having said that, it’s great to use your tips to save you time so that you can use some time for mindful calmness!!! ☀️
write it down! yes!! i have a paper planner and refuse to go totally digital-a physical checklist is a must have. thanks for video,; as always loved it
I love writing on paper but as a teacher I've got so many papers and books around it would get lost. I also don't carry a purse, just my phone in a wallet case so for me using the notes app works well... when I remember to look at it. I have to set reminders to look at my reminders!
Love the 10 minute tidy and laundry basket ideas, I've heard variations before and they have worked but I got away from them. You and your whole house are so polished, wow goals!!
I have to try this 10 minutes rapid cleaning thing every day 🤓 Today I finished it in 12, but it really is a better feeling like this, not to mention that it pushed my pulse and bp as a coffee does 🤪
All these tips are super practical and I do quite a few of them already, and I picked up a few extra tips as well. My mom taught me to re-wear things, more to preserve their integrity by not washing them as often, than to save time, but it accomplishes both goals. We shower every day and wear undergarments, so many items can be worn twice. Lists are also such a great tool. I recently uploaded a few apps to help me not forget stuff and it has been really helpful for tracking non urgent purchases, I will just pick items up while doing other shopping rather than making a special trip for one item now. I also downloaded a wardrobe app and can take photos of outfits once I put them together and it keeps a great inventory for when I am having trouble choosing what to wear. You are very practical and helpful even for an old lady like me!
I just watched a bunch of videos like this and a lot of them talk about things I already do or know about, but I have to say that your laundry basket tip (bringing it to every room and putting things in that don’t belong in the room) is great! Can’t wait to use that one! Thanks for sharing this!
I tried the whole “picking out my clothes on Sunday” thing for about a year and I finally gave up because I would wake up and be like “I’m not feeling that today” and end up picking something completely different. Does anyone else feel like this?
Yep... also, weather changes, and you can't tell what's appropriate a few days ahead. As she says, though, even just choosing the night before is a big help.
Tip number 6 truly makes a big difference. Now that you mentioned it I know it’s true and not just my personal notion. And the garbage bag hack is amazing too! Just as everything else you mentioned. Brilliant!
Totally agree that it's fine not to wash something if you only wear it out to dinner, podcasts are always in my ear when doing laundry, driving, powerwalking, cooking - which I hate too!
.... I ALWAYS do that with clothing that I've worn for like. ...2 hours ....(!) It's called * refresh w/ OdoBan, air out outside * lol...... ( Way better than using febreeze) . I've done this for years, saves a lot of time and dry cleaning! Yessss. ... When I make Chili , Spaghetti sauce, Other soups .... I make enough for .... 5 meals, lol ...! I always share that food with family and friends 💜
@@katalingerstenberger5866 ... Yes, it is ! That's why I mentioned it, but I see it didn't include the part I put about Febreeze being toxic. Thanks so much for your reply !
I work in a Drs office... mondays are atleast 12 hours, that's "left over" night! I'm totally wiped out on Monday. Not only does it save time but it also cleans out the frig. Picking your clothes out for the week is a must! Some great advice!
when cleaning i usually play TH-cam videos or music and try to get one section of my room done in the length of the video or a few songs , it really works for me
I love your 10 minute tidy tip! It changed my life. I'm a mom of 4 and the daily pick up was something that would take all of my time,I felt like I never stopped! I would start saving it for evenings because I dreaded it so much, then that would turn into the next day since I'm usually exhausted by evening and so on 😫 so anyways, now we make a game out of it with the kids, and So Much gets done!! Also the 2 minute tidy that you mentioned in another video-we started both of those and just..amazing. the transformation is amazing . Thanks for these videos!
I have done this for a long time as far as not washing clothes every time I wear them! Such a good habit to be in. Plus, I have 5 kids so less laundry makes me happy!😆
I do a few of your ideas, like working on something for a half hour, which often leads to more, or doing a 10-minute speed cleaning frenzy. They work!!
Omg thank you for being so honest and real! I feel your every word. I also am thinking about how much do I have to do when it comes to cleaning and I also don't wash my clothes everytime :-). I am grateful for some ideas. ♡
Love this video. I used to be on top of everything Now I'm trying to recover from some health issues, only problem is I've asked for desperately needed help and don't get it. Then when others don't offer a helping hand it effects how you feel about yourself. Tough one.
@@lillinsey100 ... more like 'hide away hide away' for me. . I scoop stuff into boxes or baskets or into my oven, washer & dryer til the company leaves then i dig it all out & put it back where it was. 😁
So glad to see that there's a community of people like me. I feel the same way about showers. Everyday I do a "freshen up." Face, underarms, nether regions and feet. Unless you have skin issues that force you to, It's a waste of water and time to shower everyday and it's not good for your hair and skin. Especially if it's a hot shower. I wash my hair only a few times a week.
The "get ready" tip is legit, I've been working between home and office, but now am confined to home, and I tended to wear my PJs all day which made me fell blehhhh, so I started putting on clothes (even something simple as a tank top and shorts, anything other than PJs) and I do my brows, and I tend to really kick butt all day!! Something about actually putting on clothes and then changing after work helps separate my work day from my free time too, so I'm not working all night!
Thank you for the reminders on some of these. I learned a lot of them many, many years ago when i was working and I can't figure out why other people don't utilize them themselves. They just sit in the waiting room of the doctor's office and do nothing or they waste time watching TV all day. I'm always doing something even at home and I've been retired for a couple years now. Folding laundry while you're watching TV or even while you're on the toilet is a time saver. If you do it during commercials it makes you rush and the bathroom trick makes you rush even faster. Another trick I learned is to stack things even if I can't get to the cleaning right away. It looks so much neater.
I really enjoyed this. I like your pacing, your personable style-friendly, not super rehearsed, but not too rambly, either. Your energy seriously got me up and cleaning, trying to reset things for tomorrow instead of leaving all the mess. Thank you!
Hi Shea! I'm a big to-do list fan too, but I liked some of your tips (not that I disliked any, just that some I already used). Like you, some days I wear an outfit only for an hour or two, but what I do is that, while I will re-wear it (sometimes even for a week if it's only during an hour each day, and of course if it doesn't become stained or sweaty in the meantime), I NEVER hang it back in my closet with my clean clothes. I have a small bar in a nook in my room from which I hang my "worn but still wearable" clothes, or else hang them out on the line for a couple of hours, to air out properly. Just an idea, to make sure the clean clothes in the closet stay truly clean...
That nerdy "i make a todo-list even for my videos" smile you had made me klick thumbs up on this! A small tip from me is to just put more trash bags in by actually put one on the bin and next bag on the bag that's on the bin and third bag on the two that's on the bin and so on till it's about 5 on, that way i don't need to put a new one on all the time because one is already there when i remove the full bag. One bonus by doing so is if one bag is broken or have a hole you don't have a mess to clean in the bin because the layers of bags pick that up and in worst case you have to remove a empty smelly bag or just let it sit until you take the trash out next time. This metod maybe look a bit strange but by the time you remove the last bag on the rest has flatten out and it don't look so "ballonish" and you se how this tip makes sense :D
Having MS limits how much energy I have each day so I pick and chose what I'm spending on energy on and diffiantly love the grocery store buy online and pick up in your car i do it a lot!! Great video shea!
I have RA and totally understand the energy thing. Autoimmune is a bitch! I tend to have the most energy early in the morning, get everything done then and make sure I have time for a nap in the afternoon before my kids get home. Planning my day around naps isn't ideal but that's just the way it has to be!
Totally agree on not cleaning all clothes that you’ve worn. I have “air-out” hooks in my room where I put things that I’ve worn, but aren’t dirty enough to wash. This helps me organize what’s completely clean and what isn’t!
Can't remember which number this recommendation was but using laundry basket to place item in which don't belong etc is a great tip. I did this and wow it worked. I was always moving items into their respective rooms but never putting them away thinking I'll just put it in there and I'll get back to it. This tip worked for me. Thank you
First off, I recently started watching your channel and love it! Second, this video was super informative and I like your ideas, they're actually ORIGINAL, I wasn't expecting it to be since a lot of people repeat the same things over and over. Always looking forward to your uploads Shea!
A friend of mine has a separate section in her wardrobe for things that she might rewear, but doesn’t want to add back to the freshly washed clothing. I’m going to implement this to my wardrobe, too. Right now my “already worn things” are unaestheticly laying on a chair in my bedroom...
I so, so do leftovers. We're in the middle of a run of leftover borscht. We make a huge pot of soup whenever we do soup (mainly because we do a lot of veggies). My favourite time-saver is using certain cooking tools, especially my rice cooker. It's actually a multi-cooker and I use it a LOT. I cook rice, buckwheat, lentils ... and then there's my slow cookers. Marvelous to be able to let a tool do the work for you and know that it will be done right without you having to watch it.
Ms. Shea.... I totally need you in my everyday life ❣ You're my Guru, my go-to for everyday little things. What I REALLY have a hard time with is just getting up in the morning. I would like to be able to wake up to one if your 'get-going' videos (like this one) instead of just an alarm. Do you know if this is possible? Thank you for everything! Sincerely.. Becky
Great advice! I'm saving this video. There are several things on here that I am already doing but also a few that I would like to implement into my task tackling. Ty!
This breaking down projects or bigger tasks into smaller ones is actually used in agile working which is proven to be faster and more effective than traditional working and I find it very useful for my own projects or university tasks, if I sit there and need to write a paper minimum 12 pages I feel so overwhelmed but if I say okay today I search out my literature and tomorrow I read this part and so on, I wrote this paper in 5 days without any stress or pressure and it turned out really good, this is such an important tip for productivity
I aspire to be like you on a daily basis - accomplished, beautiful, and so darn insightful in everything you do. I as well work from home and could really utilize a lot of these tips. I have already started the planner system! Keep up the great work, I absolutely love your channel and wish I lived closer so we could be friends!
Loving all the tips, I would love to try the 30 minute timer for the tasks you dread, usually I just distract myself and end up not doing any of it. Most of the time it is cleaning tasks to try to avoid but the game of doing it as fast as possible helps a lot. I like to put several bin bags ready in the bin so one is taken out and the next bag is ready made. I’m quite lucky my kids get them ready and they make their own food. Clothes are my main problem lol not a lot of space for clothes so I end up wearing whatever comes out the laundry and so I wear the same clothes when it’s fresh from there wash. When I had three kids in three years, delivery was a must. Cooking is fun but the cleaning took up most my day, now I create quick easy nutritious and delicious meals to get more time. I would outsource cleaning any day. Love the pod cast while in the car, love listening to audios you boost that motivation and gain more knowledge 💪
#6 is something I swear by specially whether I have to do work at home, or its a slow day. I really dress up in what I call my "everyday home uniform" which are leggings or lounge pants, a cotton tshirt decent enough to wear out incase I need to run errands, sunblock, fix hair, and light makeup. It really "wakes me up" in every way. Infact on weekends I also get annoyed when my kids are still wearing their pjs by lunch. The other tip #11 about the 10 min fast clean-up is also so effective. Although I dont time myself, I do my clean-ups really fast because the moment I slow down Ill tend to procastinate and overthink what Im doing. Thank you so much for your tips!!!💕
I thank you, you have helped me so much. I have adult adhd and can't focus. I love a neat and clean home. But i will literally break down and cry because i dont focus on one thing at a time. I do so many things at once and then i have a huge mess
Wow, that was chock full of great ideas.... I had to chuckle with the “I need asparagus “ line. You’re so funny sometimes, without even realizing it! 🏅
Since I've discovered your channel, it has given me so much inspiration and motivation to get my rear in gear to get things done. Thank you so much again for doing these videos and sharing your wisdom! In the past year and a half, I moved to another state, got married, started a new job, and bought a new house and my usual daily and weekly routines went out the window. It's been a challenge getting back into set routines especially when you're working to start your own business outside all the other stuff. Great reminders and pointers that Rome wasn't built in a day and we can take those small steps toward hitting the bigger goal. Job well done on this video and God bless! :)

EXACTLY. I usually try to grab something that belongs in a different room and take it with me.
I do the same at home !
I love this..
I tell my children this ALL the time. They dont listen but I do it all the time. Esp being in a 2 story apartment. Every little bit counts.
Just as long as everyone else is doing the same thing. The wife/mother is not a maid for everyone else.
The sky is the limit for you, I’ve been following you since the beginning and you are becoming a star, I wish I can have your level of confidence! Congrats Shea
Oh wow - you are SO SO SO sweet for saying all of this!!! Thank you VERY much! Mwah!!
I really appreciate that this ended the way it did instead of the sanctimony “DO IT ALLLLLL YOURSELF” The more I outsource the better I am as a mom and business woman, thank you!
Tip 16: collect upbeat songs in your personal „Just do it!“-playlist, dance around your home while cleaning, tidying, cooking, whatevering 💃🏼
Yaass! This is a fun one!
Amen!
Bina Turtle ikr I do that all the time!! Actually if anyone needs a good playlist I have a few public ones listed on my channel 😉🤫😘💕
As a dancer i dance while doing anything😂
YES! I love to do this! When I'm alone, the music is blasting while I clean. (I live in the country and do not have "next-door" neighbors). It makes me feel happier and I clean faster and burn more calories while doing it because I'm semi-dancing all around.
Lowering my cleaning standards and a cleaning lady monthly have kept me sane as a working mom of 2! Great video!
"Lowering my cleaning standards" lol can so relate
You said you follow a very clean, sugar-free diet. Can you make a video on it sometime? Maybe sharing some recipes and stuff? :)
Probably the best video I have ever watched in regards to tips that will ACTUALLY HELP. Sometimes these videos are a lot of the same , but these were relatable AND genius. Thank you!!
Girl I love lists. I once made a list of all the lists I needed to make. Not sure what kind of prize I get for that, but it was a moment.
Lol i can relate to!
I deeply understand you:))
Which lists were your most effective?? 🙂
I make lists and then lose them
I totally do the "rewear" clothing thing too. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to wash a pair of jeans every time I wear them.
Indeed!! Makes no sense to me, to wash something you've worn once or twice, and it's not " unclean". 🙂
And it will degrade your clothes (overwashing). I agree wholeheartedly.
I started pick a few items to wear through the week and make it a challenge to mix and match with that. It's been a fun game and I have the least amount of laundry than everyone at my house.
I watched a TH-cam video a long time ago that told me this and it has drastically helped my laundry load
Jup, me too, I can wholeheartedly say that rewearing my clothes twice, three or even four times (jeans and stuff) has changed my life :-D So much less washing, ironing, mindfucking ;-p
I wear clothes a few times before I wash them. I do not sweat or smell and I don't need to wash my clothes so frequently. Too much washing also destroys you garments. Don't judge just think about it.
anellimm i definitely wear my shirts twice or even three times if I didn’t sweat in them or get them dirty! I also put a lot of my items on a quick cycle or delicate cycle.

I'm the same. Underwear and socks/stockings are put for a wash daily. Everything else has to be smelly or visibly soiled. I do usually hang clothing to air for a while before putting it away, which helps.
Same omigod
Picking out clothes ahead of time also helps me apply makeup quicker bc I know what colors to use to complement my outfit that day 🤗
Yes! I never thought of it that way! But I always wear scrubs so I don't really need to worry too much 😆
If I’ve worn something once and it’s fine I turn it inside out so I know it’s got one more wear and hang back in wardrobe until I need to wash it.
1. Sleep is the most important and irreplaceable thing
MsGalagramma Amen!😄
MsGalagramma So true! I try to get plenty of sleep each night!
So true! When I've not had enough sleep for too long (like 4-5 days) I am literally worthless, super cranky and only want to eat carbs all day long. Even losing 30 minutes a night can really add up over time.
MsGalagramma amen!! Very true.
Agree. Going to bed half an hour earlier than normal and preparing your house and your family for the precious rest is just as important as waking up early
Shea, I've just bumped into one of your vids last night where you were saying "Don't subscribe yet because you don't know me yet, but maybe by the middle of this video..."
Well, I've been back for more videos and this! Aged-old PRACTICAL PRODUCTIVITY LIFE SKILLS that never go out of style. And yes, humanity needs to be reminded of them every now and again by any random people. Shea, you are the best!
Whenever I feel stylish I always say I am "channeling my inner Shea" and now I can say that when I am feeling productive and organized. One of my favourite videos ever, Shea, thanks so much!!
Honestly, tried the 10 minute tidy and it was life changing! I usually tidy at night anyway but have been so tired and never thought to put a time on it. Just know how much I was able to do in 10 min pushed me to finish. Thanks girl. This was good!
When I pick out something to wear the next day when I'm ready to get dressed I've changed my mind and don't wear what I have picked out. Lol
I’m with you 100%. There are organizers like Shea, and free spirits who live for spontaneity like us😁
Try putting outfits together complete with jewelry and then choose each mornings which one to wear. That way you have everything you need bit it's not so rigid.
Rhonda Reese Yes, me too. You’re not alone
I usually pick what I'm going to wear before I get into the shower. I've find that I spend less time deciding what to wear if I do this. Choosing a week's worth of outfits ahead of time would kill my soul.
Omg! Same! I drive myself crazy
Thank you for putting that ending in, it can be difficult to remember that asking for help is not a weakness and who said you've got to do it all your own, especially if you have kids
It's also nice that she admits to the type of help she gets, so we don't watch the videos wondering what the heck is wrong with us! Lol
When I go grocery shopping I get just 3 items. I set my timer to about 10minutes and speed shop. The last time I did this I was in and out of the shop within 7 minutes! By speed shopping you are less likely to be tempted to get more than the 3 items on your list, which saves both time and money.
May I ask you how often you go to the grocery store?
@@kirschblute8429 I work in a supermarket most days so it's easier for me. If you live local to a grocery store or supermarket speed shopping for just 3 items each time can work. However, it also depends on how much you can physically carry when using public transport as well. If you only want to go grocery shopping once a month and you know which aisles everything on your list is located in the store, you can still set a time limit for shopping. Personally I don't drive.
@@samanthahardy9903 OK, that makes sense. Sounds like a great idea! I'll try it out!
Your tips are so relatable and easy to implement. You have been my inspiration for years and it is so refreshing that you branched out into this topic. Extremely well done.
I find that if I need to get work done for school, when I clean/organize something first, I’m more likely to get the work done. For example, I’ll pick anything on the floor of my room up or wipe my computer/phone down with a wipe THEN start the work. It really helps me
Absolutely don't wash your clothes after 1 hour of wearing. No stains? Wear it again!
It’s also pretty taxing on the environment, and your clothes 😊
Yeah, like formal dinner wear especially! I’ll go out maybe 5 times a year or less to something where I use a tux or dress and I honestly never sweat or get it dirty! Not sure why so many people wash clothes they didn’t even wear for a whole day!
I’m all about the lists too. It keeps me from being scattered, and there’s a weird satisfaction to crossing things off the list. I think another important thing is some sort of daily self care, even if it’s just a few minutes of something that soothes you.
9:18 I found that in doing this, less stuff gets lost. We spend so much time looking for something that was misplaced, and can drive ourselves crazy in the meantime.
To add to saving time with the chore of cooking: Make freezer friendly foods. It takes the same amount of time to make a double batch of turkey chili or a baked pasta and freeze the rest. It's such a nice feeling to be able to come home after a busy day and know dinner is ready to go.
So proud of you. When i heard u have a job outside of TH-cam , i instantly loved u more than i already do . I just feel like people can do so much more in their lives but they don't.
Btw thank you for encouraging people to ask for help! My parents did not live near family but we always had great neighbors and took turns hosting play dates and sleep overs to give each other a break. It was fun for the kids too. It was about 5 families. Ask neighbors, friends at work/school/church/swim practice - whatever!
Step 1: stop getting on TH-cam so much
Taylor Weight that’s how she makes money though, it’s her job lol
😂 I think you mean , us not going on you tube. I watch far too much of it at the moment. It’s been great for self development in the beginning but now I’m watching other people getting on with there life.
@@taylorweight8042 how much is so much for you?
@@marienguessan8520 1 second is an amount so unfathomable that even half of that time frame would be lifetimes beyond "so much." One could never accentuate such immeasurable wasted delinquency in what rare and prescience time was given to us. Your existence is non at this point.
@@taylorweight8042 okay, thank you for your answer
I love your videos, Shea!
The best tool I’ve bought to date: the Dyson cordless vacuum. With two toddlers it is a time saver! Plus, I feel like I vacuum more frequently (= more cleanliness) but it overall takes less time 🙌🏼
Thank you so much Taylor!!! And yes, I've hear that Dyson cordless vacuum is great!!
Taylor Palmer best investment of my life as well!
Yes! My cordless Dyson is a life saver.
Yes! Best money I’ve spent to date
With a 8 and 3 year old there’s always things to clean up and the power of that vacuum is aaaamazing lol
I love your tips. I grew up in the 90s advice where women were expected to be super in their career, in their homes, as a mother, gosh. I was a teen then and by the time i reached my 20s, building a career i knew i wasnt gonna be my mom, whose ALWAYS clean and orderly, awake at 5am to do whatever she has to do(yes, she was a working mom, who still manages to be there for all school activities for us). Its hard to admit that i cant do it all, that ill need help in many areas when i myself becomes a mom myself and watching somebody who has a lot on her plate do what you do, and share all these to the likes of us, thank you for the inspiration and aharing of knowledge.
Hi Shea, loved the video. There is only one thing I want to emphasis. The importance of time to do nothing at all!! Even 10 minutes a day. Shutting off your mind, clearing it. I used to be super multi tasker too, until I got a severe case of anxiety disorder. This is when I realized doing one thing at a time is OK!!! And every minute doesn’t have to be productive. Having said that, it’s great to use your tips to save you time so that you can use some time for mindful calmness!!! ☀️
Hey Shea! I was curious if we could get a video on holiday outfits for parties of all kinds? Work to family to friends
write it down! yes!! i have a paper planner and refuse to go totally digital-a physical checklist is a must have.
thanks for video,; as always loved it
Something about actually writing something is SO helpful for me. I know just what you mean.
Yes, writing it down and checking it out is so satisfying
I love writing on paper but as a teacher I've got so many papers and books around it would get lost. I also don't carry a purse, just my phone in a wallet case so for me using the notes app works well... when I remember to look at it. I have to set reminders to look at my reminders!
Love the 10 minute tidy and laundry basket ideas, I've heard variations before and they have worked but I got away from them. You and your whole house are so polished, wow goals!!
I'm so terrible at time management and making sure I get the most out of my week. Definitely going to try this. Here's to hoping it works🤞
Your development is amazing !! Love love how confident you are ! You’re so inspiring
I have to try this 10 minutes rapid cleaning thing every day 🤓
Today I finished it in 12, but it really is a better feeling like this, not to mention that it pushed my pulse and bp as a coffee does 🤪
All these tips are super practical and I do quite a few of them already, and I picked up a few extra tips as well. My mom taught me to re-wear things, more to preserve their integrity by not washing them as often, than to save time, but it accomplishes both goals. We shower every day and wear undergarments, so many items can be worn twice. Lists are also such a great tool. I recently uploaded a few apps to help me not forget stuff and it has been really helpful for tracking non urgent purchases, I will just pick items up while doing other shopping rather than making a special trip for one item now. I also downloaded a wardrobe app and can take photos of outfits once I put them together and it keeps a great inventory for when I am having trouble choosing what to wear. You are very practical and helpful even for an old lady like me!
I just watched a bunch of videos like this and a lot of them talk about things I already do or know about, but I have to say that your laundry basket tip (bringing it to every room and putting things in that don’t belong in the room) is great! Can’t wait to use that one! Thanks for sharing this!
I tried the whole “picking out my clothes on Sunday” thing for about a year and I finally gave up because I would wake up and be like “I’m not feeling that today” and end up picking something completely different. Does anyone else feel like this?
Yep... also, weather changes, and you can't tell what's appropriate a few days ahead. As she says, though, even just choosing the night before is a big help.
Exactly! I try to look at my closet the night before and get an idea of what I want so I have something in mind but it’s never set in stone.
The worst is trying it on while running late and thinking "what was I thinking when I put this together?" Or "this won't work.." lol
@T C omg, seriously true😂
@@KaterinaDanielle I may need to try that!
Watching this on my bed as my clothes stare at me from "THE CHAIR" 😅
Thank you for keeping it real not a lot of influencers/ TH-camrs admit to having help and portray what really isn't! You have my subscription!
Tip number 6 truly makes a big difference. Now that you mentioned it I know it’s true and not just my personal notion. And the garbage bag hack is amazing too! Just as everything else you mentioned. Brilliant!
Totally agree that it's fine not to wash something if you only wear it out to dinner, podcasts are always in my ear when doing laundry, driving, powerwalking, cooking - which I hate too!
.... I ALWAYS do that with clothing that I've worn for like. ...2 hours ....(!) It's called * refresh w/ OdoBan, air out outside * lol...... ( Way better than using febreeze) . I've done this for years, saves a lot of time and dry cleaning!
Yessss. ... When I make Chili , Spaghetti sauce, Other soups .... I make enough for .... 5 meals, lol ...! I always share that food with family and friends 💜
Scorpio Sparkle Febreeze is so toxic!😡
@@katalingerstenberger5866 ... Yes, it is ! That's why I mentioned it, but I see it didn't include the part I put about Febreeze being toxic. Thanks so much for your reply !
@@katalingerstenberger5866 ... Yes, it is. There are great alternatives.
I work in a Drs office... mondays are atleast 12 hours, that's "left over" night! I'm totally wiped out on Monday. Not only does it save time but it also cleans out the frig.
Picking your clothes out for the week is a must!
Some great advice!
when cleaning i usually play TH-cam videos or music and try to get one section of my room done in the length of the video or a few songs , it really works for me
When I got out of the bed in the morning, the first thing I do is do the laundry. Even before cooking breakfast 😂😂 and it saved me a lot of time
Oh, this is interesting. I will try that.
your lip color looks amazing !!!❤
I love your 10 minute tidy tip! It changed my life. I'm a mom of 4 and the daily pick up was something that would take all of my time,I felt like I never stopped! I would start saving it for evenings because I dreaded it so much, then that would turn into the next day since I'm usually exhausted by evening and so on 😫 so anyways, now we make a game out of it with the kids, and So Much gets done!! Also the 2 minute tidy that you mentioned in another video-we started both of those and just..amazing. the transformation is amazing . Thanks for these videos!
I have done this for a long time as far as not washing clothes every time I wear them! Such a good habit to be in. Plus, I have 5 kids so less laundry makes me happy!😆
I do a few of your ideas, like working on something for a half hour, which often leads to more, or doing a 10-minute speed cleaning frenzy. They work!!
I’m watching this while procrastinating putting clothes away lol
hahaha that's too funny!!!
Im watching this at work sitting indian style on the floor hiding from my boss lol
Same lol but she's motivating me to do em for at least 10 minutes!
Dishes for me LOL
Gigii Fithh sane....
Omg thank you for being so honest and real! I feel your every word. I also am thinking about how much do I have to do when it comes to cleaning and I also don't wash my clothes everytime :-). I am grateful for some ideas. ♡
So much passion!!! Asking for help is so important! A business has various people to keep it running so why not ask for help in our personal lives!!!
I love the lightning and camera quality best I’ve seen!
Thank you for your honesty at the end of the video!
Love this video. I used to be on top of everything Now I'm trying to recover from some health issues, only problem is I've asked for desperately needed help and don't get it. Then when others don't offer a helping hand it effects how you feel about yourself. Tough one.
You are so right about getting help it can make your life so much more enjoyable instead of just a chore!
You convinced me... I’m trying the 10 minute tidy!
Omgosh yes - DO IT!!!
It seriously is the BEST hack I’ve ever been given
never do i clean better and with more efficiency than when someone says they are 30 minutes from my house. clean, clean, put away, put away.
Joanna Tafolla Yes! I love doing the speed cleaning!
@@lillinsey100 ... more like 'hide away hide away' for me. . I scoop stuff into boxes or baskets or into my oven, washer & dryer til the company leaves then i dig it all out & put it back where it was. 😁
I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these kind of video's!!💕 Thank you🙏🙏
So glad to see that there's a community of people like me. I feel the same way about showers. Everyday I do a "freshen up." Face, underarms, nether regions and feet. Unless you have skin issues that force you to, It's a waste of water and time to shower everyday and it's not good for your hair and skin. Especially if it's a hot shower. I wash my hair only a few times a week.
The "get ready" tip is legit, I've been working between home and office, but now am confined to home, and I tended to wear my PJs all day which made me fell blehhhh, so I started putting on clothes (even something simple as a tank top and shorts, anything other than PJs) and I do my brows, and I tend to really kick butt all day!! Something about actually putting on clothes and then changing after work helps separate my work day from my free time too, so I'm not working all night!
I wonder how she determines her goals for the day, week, month. I tend to get too ambitious and then very little gets done.
Tamar Morrison she said at least 2-3 thing needs to be done for sure
No one has this much energy naturally. I’m exhausted watching. Peace ✌️ out
Ha ha ha.....for some reason, your comment made me happy
I agree 🤦♀️🤦♀️😹🤪
😂😂😂
Thank you for the reminders on some of these. I learned a lot of them many, many years ago when i was working and I can't figure out why other people don't utilize them themselves. They just sit in the waiting room of the doctor's office and do nothing or they waste time watching TV all day. I'm always doing something even at home and I've been retired for a couple years now. Folding laundry while you're watching TV or even while you're on the toilet is a time saver. If you do it during commercials it makes you rush and the bathroom trick makes you rush even faster. Another trick I learned is to stack things even if I can't get to the cleaning right away. It looks so much neater.
Roxann .. folding laundry while on the toilet is a new one to me!! Never heard that one before.
I really enjoyed this. I like your pacing, your personable style-friendly, not super rehearsed, but not too rambly, either. Your energy seriously got me up and cleaning, trying to reset things for tomorrow instead of leaving all the mess. Thank you!
Omg Shea! This video is EVERYTHING! So useful, I especially love love love the 10 minute tidy and 30 min timing tips! U rock.🤗
It's so hard to ask for help. Especially when you're the person people usually ask to help them.
Hi Shea! I'm a big to-do list fan too, but I liked some of your tips (not that I disliked any, just that some I already used). Like you, some days I wear an outfit only for an hour or two, but what I do is that, while I will re-wear it (sometimes even for a week if it's only during an hour each day, and of course if it doesn't become stained or sweaty in the meantime), I NEVER hang it back in my closet with my clean clothes. I have a small bar in a nook in my room from which I hang my "worn but still wearable" clothes, or else hang them out on the line for a couple of hours, to air out properly. Just an idea, to make sure the clean clothes in the closet stay truly clean...
That nerdy "i make a todo-list even for my videos" smile you had made me klick thumbs up on this! A small tip from me is to just put more trash bags in by actually put one on the bin and next bag on the bag that's on the bin and third bag on the two that's on the bin and so on till it's about 5 on, that way i don't need to put a new one on all the time because one is already there when i remove the full bag. One bonus by doing so is if one bag is broken or have a hole you don't have a mess to clean in the bin because the layers of bags pick that up and in worst case you have to remove a empty smelly bag or just let it sit until you take the trash out next time. This metod maybe look a bit strange but by the time you remove the last bag on the rest has flatten out and it don't look so "ballonish" and you se how this tip makes sense :D
Having MS limits how much energy I have each day so I pick and chose what I'm spending on energy on and diffiantly love the grocery store buy online and pick up in your car i do it a lot!! Great video shea!
I'm sure you're doing an amazing job!!! I commend you!!! Much love to you
I have RA and totally understand the energy thing. Autoimmune is a bitch! I tend to have the most energy early in the morning, get everything done then and make sure I have time for a nap in the afternoon before my kids get home. Planning my day around naps isn't ideal but that's just the way it has to be!
Autoimmune life is a rough one. Keeping striving for your best, and know that if you don't reach it it doesn't make it a bad day ♥
Thank you Shea! Cooking is necessary but it's the worst! I always drop what I'm doing to watch when you post!🤓
Ahh thank you so much Jennelle!!!
Totally agree on not cleaning all clothes that you’ve worn. I have “air-out” hooks in my room where I put things that I’ve worn, but aren’t dirty enough to wash. This helps me organize what’s completely clean and what isn’t!
Can't remember which number this recommendation was but using laundry basket to place item in which don't belong etc is a great tip. I did this and wow it worked. I was always moving items into their respective rooms but never putting them away thinking I'll just put it in there and I'll get back to it. This tip worked for me. Thank you
10 minute tidy -- I really like that !!!! Gonna try that with the kids ;)
Melissa Riso I always speed clean! Gets it out of the way faster!
The irony of saying “I need more hands” in a video about getting more done 😂
Lol
Thanks Shea! Just what I needed to hear honestly! I drive myself crazy cleaning I told my son there’s always something to do! You made it all better!
First off, I recently started watching your channel and love it!
Second, this video was super informative and I like your ideas, they're actually ORIGINAL, I wasn't expecting it to be since a lot of people repeat the same things over and over.
Always looking forward to your uploads Shea!
LOVE THESE STYLE VIDEOS FROM YOU!
❤️❤️❤️
A friend of mine has a separate section in her wardrobe for things that she might rewear, but doesn’t want to add back to the freshly washed clothing.
I’m going to implement this to my wardrobe, too. Right now my “already worn things” are unaestheticly laying on a chair in my bedroom...
Hehe...every girls secret...that chair !!!! I have one too! With heaps of clothes 🤣
I so, so do leftovers. We're in the middle of a run of leftover borscht. We make a huge pot of soup whenever we do soup (mainly because we do a lot of veggies).
My favourite time-saver is using certain cooking tools, especially my rice cooker. It's actually a multi-cooker and I use it a LOT. I cook rice, buckwheat, lentils ... and then there's my slow cookers. Marvelous to be able to let a tool do the work for you and know that it will be done right without you having to watch it.
Ms. Shea.... I totally need you in my everyday life ❣ You're my Guru, my go-to for everyday little things. What I REALLY have a hard time with is just getting up in the morning. I would like to be able to wake up to one if your 'get-going' videos (like this one) instead of just an alarm. Do you know if this is possible?
Thank you for everything!
Sincerely..
Becky
I love this video, really one of the best videos I’ve seen about getting more things done, i will be trying a lot of these tips👌🏻
Great advice! I'm saving this video. There are several things on here that I am already doing but also a few that I would like to implement into my task tackling. Ty!
This breaking down projects or bigger tasks into smaller ones is actually used in agile working which is proven to be faster and more effective than traditional working and I find it very useful for my own projects or university tasks, if I sit there and need to write a paper minimum 12 pages I feel so overwhelmed but if I say okay today I search out my literature and tomorrow I read this part and so on, I wrote this paper in 5 days without any stress or pressure and it turned out really good, this is such an important tip for productivity
Your enthusiasm and dynamism inspire me more. Love from the Philippines.
The trash bags tip can backfire if your bag springs a leak.
True. I've done this and yes, its happened to me.
😂😂😂 I was just thinking about how much you get done! I wish I were more like you and not lazy!
Me too. 😂
awe thank you! i''m sure you're not lazy!!
I aspire to be like you on a daily basis - accomplished, beautiful, and so darn insightful in everything you do. I as well work from home and could really utilize a lot of these tips. I have already started the planner system! Keep up the great work, I absolutely love your channel and wish I lived closer so we could be friends!
Loving all the tips, I would love to try the 30 minute timer for the tasks you dread, usually I just distract myself and end up not doing any of it. Most of the time it is cleaning tasks to try to avoid but the game of doing it as fast as possible helps a lot. I like to put several bin bags ready in the bin so one is taken out and the next bag is ready made. I’m quite lucky my kids get them ready and they make their own food. Clothes are my main problem lol not a lot of space for clothes so I end up wearing whatever comes out the laundry and so I wear the same clothes when it’s fresh from there wash. When I had three kids in three years, delivery was a must. Cooking is fun but the cleaning took up most my day, now I create quick easy nutritious and delicious meals to get more time. I would outsource cleaning any day. Love the pod cast while in the car, love listening to audios you boost that motivation and gain more knowledge 💪
"I need asparagus" hahaha
I wear my clothes till they are dirty. Yup. Real life 😉
#6 is something I swear by specially whether I have to do work at home, or its a slow day. I really dress up in what I call my "everyday home uniform" which are leggings or lounge pants, a cotton tshirt decent enough to wear out incase I need to run errands, sunblock, fix hair, and light makeup. It really "wakes me up" in every way. Infact on weekends I also get annoyed when my kids are still wearing their pjs by lunch. The other tip #11 about the 10 min fast clean-up is also so effective. Although I dont time myself, I do my clean-ups really fast because the moment I slow down Ill tend to procastinate and overthink what Im doing. Thank you so much for your tips!!!💕
I thank you, you have helped me so much. I have adult adhd and can't focus. I love a neat and clean home. But i will literally break down and cry because i dont focus on one thing at a time. I do so many things at once and then i have a huge mess
The most important tip for me: to stop watching youtube.
But that's so difficult, because I love watching you and some other few youtubers...
maria e. I will play TH-cam when I’m cooking or doing dishes. 😃
Wow, that was chock full of great ideas.... I had to chuckle with the “I need asparagus “ line. You’re so funny sometimes, without even realizing it! 🏅
Since I've discovered your channel, it has given me so much inspiration and motivation to get my rear in gear to get things done. Thank you so much again for doing these videos and sharing your wisdom! In the past year and a half, I moved to another state, got married, started a new job, and bought a new house and my usual daily and weekly routines went out the window. It's been a challenge getting back into set routines especially when you're working to start your own business outside all the other stuff. Great reminders and pointers that Rome wasn't built in a day and we can take those small steps toward hitting the bigger goal. Job well done on this video and God bless! :)
The most relatable, the most useful and the most practical video on productivity 👍
