    I remember several years ago hubs had a bad habit of throwing his clothes on the floor, not into the basket. One day, I got tired of picking it up. So I only did the laundry in the basket, of which nothing was his. When we went to bed that night he noticed the neat bed, floor vacuumed around his clothes and the empty laundry basket. He looked at it, then at his clothes all over a couple different times. Then he looked at the cat and said "I think Mom is trying to tell me something." He asked "If I put my clothes in the basket, will you wash them tomorrow?" Guiltily and sweetly. I said yes, but only those in the basket. That snowballed to him doing more throughout the whole house.

      My husband used to walk all around the house with his dirty work boots. Also would leave his tool bag in the middle of the kitchen. I told him several times how much that bothered me, but he didn’t care. So I took those boots and tool bag and threw it down the hill, I had enough. Divorced him several months later.

    Great tips Nikki! When my kids were younger, I used a desk calendar and hung it up in the kitchen. We referred to it as The Hub. Each child was responsible for one room a week. On Sundays, the kids were rotated to a different room. There wasn't much time that was spent cleaning. It was only maybe 60 min. or less a week. Kids spend more than that on screen time. In the beginning, I would work along side them, to show them how to clean. If the situation was over whelming at times, I would again work along side them. It taught them responsibility and lessened the stress on the family because everyone was involved. My husband and I had responsibilities with in the home as well. If a parent wants good results, they have to set the example. You have to work into it slowly with them. Understand that they won't be good at it in the beginning. It takes time, be patient, encourage them, and praise them.

      Sorry for your loss 🙏🏾 I understand 100% I'm in the same boat I've had a lot of losses over the last 3 years and everything spiraled as a result. Trying to get back on track and dig myself out as well. What I'm learning is take baby steps, don't be too hard on yourself, give yourself grace and reward yourself (things I've always struggled with 🤦🏽‍♀️) praying strength and healing for you and your loved ones. You can do this 💪🏾

      This is the same situation I am in at the moment. My sweet Mum passed away last October! My life turned upside down. On top of that my son got married this past January. Talk about an emotional rollercoaster. The process of decluttering and organizing has begun. It's overwhelming, but as you say "start small" This is where I am at. Blessings to you!

    All my life, I thought I hated laundry. When I downsized homes, the W/D downsized as well. Turns out, I hate *large* loads. I can churn through many small loads without feeling crushed. I wish I’d learned it sooner but grateful I learned it. Life changing!

  • @rose-ld1mo
    @rose-ld1mo ปีที่แล้ว +47

    Girl I stopped buying multiple colored socks 10 years ago. Such a time saver when doing laundry which I dislike. The visual clutter bothered me as well as the crazy time it took sorting all those out every week. My son and I wear solid black and dad likes solid white. Grab them out of the dryer and throw them into the drawer and BOOM! Done (with that part anyway). Also when you get a hole you throw away one sock instead of a whole pair. I'm constantly looking for small ways to reduce time while doing the same tasks everyday because all that little stuff really adds up. You guard your weekends. Me, I guard my energy because I burn out very quickly with the hours I work and I'd much rather put that energy into the people I love. Much love to you! ❤️

    Oh my Nikki, I flat out love you! I will be listening to this, again, my husband was hearing what you was saying. And asked if he did enough to help…. I said I would appreciate more help.. at least he asked. That was a huge win for me. He retired 6 months ago and is feeling a bit lost. We both need a bunch of help.
    we will be listening again. Thank you

    As a stay at home mom I have made it a practice to give myself a day off. Because I stay at home 24/7 I can get wrapped up in the managing of my home and forget to give myself time to rest and rejuvenate. Excellent video and great tips!!!

  • @DimaRakesah
    @DimaRakesah ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I find it helps if I keep certain things from getting overwhelming, and then when I have those things clean it tends to motivate me to do more. Keeping my kitchen clean makes the house instantly feel better and motivated me to do the rest, so I make it part of my routine to do a basic clean of tbe kitchen every day. Do all the dishes, wipe the counters and sweep.

      I totally understand the vicious cycle of anxiety, and yes, it is so overwhelming. My quiet, internal anxiety has made me dysfunctional for years, and it's like a living hell.
      This is a great video with common sense tips. I think I'll start with 10 minutes a day, and not put so much pressure on myself. And then I'll take it from there.
      I think there are a lot of us that get overwhelmed easily, and people don't understand unless they are the same way. You are not alone. ❤

    So glad I found you! I decuttered and organized my mom's senior apartment from 30 years of stuff from her single family home. Everyone is telling me I should start a business. I decided I would do it when I retire but now I am thinking to do it now. I have one business now (independent consultant under an LLC) but think I have room to do another business. It was so rewarding helping my mom and she is so happy. I am going to sign up for your course.

  • @Dwynfal
    @Dwynfal ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I like the idea of "extending the work day" once I get home. Maybe not be a full hour but surely I can do it for 15 minutes to start!
    My biggest issue is when life goes off the rails a little. I get to a point where I see I'm on a downward spiral and I completely give up! I can be doing OK for months and then *stupid crap* happens and I just fall apart... I go from tidy and clean (or clean enough for me) to living in an absolute chaotic, cluttered and dirty pigsty. 😭
    I can't seem to get it together until I hit rock bottom again and have to spend weeks, if not months, getting back on track. Very Sysiphean 😕

  • @aprildawnsunshine4326
    @aprildawnsunshine4326 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    Thank you for mentioning those of us with energy or other health barriers! The biggest help I've found has been keeping a small trash bag within reach. I also remind the kids at least once a day to go around and pick up their trash etc. I still sometimes end up with a pile of little trash bags by the door, but then once I'm feeling up to it I just have to take those out instead of filling up a kitchen trash bag (or three lol) with the piles of cans and wrappers I've been surrounded with for days or weeks.

    Oh my goodness Nikki, it's as if you've made this video just for me! I've said for a very long time that I don't look at one section of a room, I look at the whole room which then turns into the whole house and I just close up. My constant thoughts are "I can't do this, what's the point". I'm taking on board all your tips today and break things down and do a section at a time. I work full time and live alone, I'm always to tired when I get home from work and do nothing. From now on, I'm going to make time slots before I sit down for the evening and get one small job done. Thank you Nikki, I feel like you're my life saviour today

    Your calm and genuine love for what you do is beyond inspiring! The most important words I took to heart are for us not to look at the whole house as a whole project, but to start small in just one area and erase all the other areas from our minds..... I was picturing a literal eraser wiping out all the items and only zeroing in on the task at hand......not feeling unsuccessful for being unable to do it all, especially in one day, one hour or one minute! Thank you for this beautiful presentation and for your special, unique way of explaining the old motto of "take a big job and break it down into small manageable tasks"!!!

  • @timpool1404
    @timpool1404 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

    One thing that was actually a game changer for me was the realization that just because I started something doesn't mean I have to finish all of it... Like ugh I don't wanna clean out the shed... So I just tell myself I don't have to finish the whole thing, go spend 5, 10, 15min and it's ok to stop part way through... More often than not I actually end up doing way more than I said I was going to do anyway, but even if you don't, something is better than nothing.

    This all is so true. Currently, I plan to not add much more in terms of furniture or decor pieces just to cut down on the extra cleaning it takes to maintain those items. Basically, I’m becoming more in line with minimalism. It feels so good to just have clean and neat spaces without every inch being take up.

    I, for one, really appreciate that you said that we don't have to follow all the new trends in our home decorating. I admit to getting a little offended by decorating or organizing videos that tell you this or that is out of style. If I like it, it stays. I personally feel like the millenials that are getting rid of all their parents fine china will be regretting that decision in the next decade. I feel, like you, that if it makes you happy, then you should definitely hold on to it. Thank you for this sound advice.

    Thanks for the great points about the different ways to look at our homes and the "dissatisfaction" that we may be feeling. I often find that the immediate reaction is to renovate, remodel, gut it out, when sometimes the solution is a lot simpler and sitting right in front of us, but it seems overwhelming and too much to take on, even though the bigger idea would be more. Starting small, decluttering, organising, rearranging furniture and items until it clicks and makes sense for us in our lives are all great points in how to make small changes that can really impact our homes and how we perceive them.

I've got years and years of her stuff piled up then I moved in that I had to bring some of my stuff which made twice as much stacked up packed up in tubs. But I have done nothing but deal with issues cancer heart attack my mom being in a nursing home. In my health issues with COPD and breathing issues. I cannot get no help. People that are willing to help want a fortune that I can't afford. And I can't get much help from my family. They're always got things their self they have to do.I have seem to get nothing done. Things are pretty much organized and in their place but they're in tubs and boxes stacked up. Some days I don't know which way to go.

    Kitchen is area I need to declutter. It's very small. Not much space for the things I need. I will do my best to figure it out. I am great full I stopped buying "stuff" almost a couple years ago. Now is a matter of narrowing down the necessary things I need to keep,as in my dishes and cookware. I have a hutch or whatever it's called in my mouse size kitchen,oh how I need it moved to the building. I really love it I only paid $75 dollars for it. Then I will have to buy a food pantry, since it's currently in the hutch.

    Your tips are so true. Just now my biggest struggle is the communication. I'm an introvert and my com skills are almost zero. So I end up nagging, we quarrell, sulk, but except for bad mood there are no results.

    I am so glad you’re back! I bought your cards, “Beautifully Organized in Fifty-Two Weeks,” and have been following them faithfully! I love the way you have us take it slow so I don’t lose momentum. It also allows me to keep up with my other routines and chores. I have your book, “Beautifully Organized,” too!
    Thank you for all your fantastic videos!♥️

    Teenagers!! I can have the best systems, most organised cupboards, decluttered drawers and labelled containers, yet my children (and husband) will just throw it wherever they want, leave things out and mess everything up - and this can literally happen within minutes of it being spotless. It's demoralizing, frustrating and so I don't feel motivated to clean fully because it's all going to come undone very quickly......😢😢😢

      This is my life and it makes me feel horrible. Makes me feel like I'm the ONLY person in my home who wants a clean, neat and tidy home. It has given me severe anxiety.

    Thank you so much for this video. I listened to it while I cleaned and my mindset shifted from feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and even resentful, to a place of feeling like the small steps matter, and that I'm on my way to creating a more beautiful & welcoming home. Thank you.

    I think this was great video. I'm glad it didn't include anything like saging/smudging. Saging/Smudging (even though it's not new) seems to be the trend now-a-days and regarding cleaning/organizing one's home. This video was a breath of fresh air. Thanks.

    Thank you Nikki. I needed this. So much love to you. 🙏🏼
    I just wanted to add: I have been a viewer for so many years my mother was not a very organized person and I never really learned how to be organized and thats how originally found your channel. I started watching before I think I was even an adult. I started watching before I was a wife. I started watching before I was a mother. All these different life stages and you have been there for me. Its so easy to lose track of “what works for your family” with new milestones or even setbacks. I need to “reorganize” for what what works for my family at this current time.
    My husband is in the service and we’re currently in South Korea and the layout of our apartment is not necessarily something I’m used to so I’ve just been lost thinking we needed to buy different organizers and such but really just need the home to be clean and not have everything everywhere. Its also harder now with a toddler to maintain the house but I know it doesn’t need to be picture perfect just safe and clean for my almost 2 year old ❤ thank you
    I know you dont have kids in the house but can you possibly share what worked for you when you had little ones in the house? I am so overwhelmed with all the laundry and so many things!
    This video really helped. Thank you. 🙏🏼

      You can also start your little one with their own little jobs too. My sister started her sons with light dusting when they were 2 years old, and now they are older they know how to wash dishes and iron their own clothes etc.
      If you give your children chores from an early age, they just think it's normal because they don't know any different. Most mothers start far too late and that's when they get pushback from their children.

    It helps me to decide I will spend one hour working. I set the timer for the hour, and oftentimes I go longer, especially if I'm in the middle of what I'm working on and want to finish it. Getting started is so much the hard part, and this often works for me.

    Thank you, Niki. This video was right on time. I was feeling down today thinking about how I cannot seem to get motivated to get things done around our home. I work a lot outside of the home and my house has gotten away from me. I decluttered months ago and it felt amazing! My next step is to finish organizing a few small spaces and then I can begin making some changes/upgrades. Bless you for making this video. ❤

Plus I have two old Pugs who often piddle on the floor, so I'm constantly cleaning up after them and battling that odor. I communicate that displeasure to them, but Pugs don't listen. LOL

    I'm so glad this was recommended to me. I've realized this week that I leave the house to feel recharged. And it's not just my current apartment, its everywhere I've lived. I'm excited to implement the advice you gave because I can't keep feeling this way.
    Edit: I've put your link on my calendar so if I'm still not organized by fall, I'm going to schedule a Zoom session. Thank you for offering that!

    Thank you Nikki for giving really good advice to motivate me. I have been in this slump for awhile because work and exhaustion took over. You have given me tips to remove these distractions and move forward with my life. I tackled small areas and seeing the floor was motivating. I will continue to listen to this each time to stay focused.

  • @kirbzmom
    @kirbzmom ปีที่แล้ว +3

    You are so kind and your video was so motivational and inspiring. You talk about starting with small little projects and not that you have to jump in and throw everything out. That is one of the deterrents for people who feel overwhelmed. I feel like your goal is to help make people feel better about what they're doing, how they go about doing it and about feeling good about the decisions they make. And as someone with fibromyalgia, it takes longer which is why it takes so long to organize. And its hard not to beat ourselves up.
    Other "motivators" tend to come down hard on you, make you feel guilty about what you have and why you have it and I start to feel the anxiety geow within 2 minutes of the video.
    I dont feel that with you and i will be watching more videos. I have also ordered the cards. Thanks for all you do...... with a kind heart!!!❤
