I didn't realise how helpful it would be to see someone actually modelling and doing the decluttering rather than just talking about it; thanks for making this
I find your show very relaxing. No drama. What a breath of fresh air.
I love her laugh. She is so relaxed.
Did anyone else get a kick out of Dawn putting her TH-cam award in the cabinet? 😂😂😂 Hang that thing up! You earned it! 🎉
Yes! I thought the same thing. She is so modest.
Haha I noticed that, too 😂!
😅😂
When was that? I was looking at papers and missed it.
Oh, I saw it. It was nonchalantly sitting on the corner of her desk.
Hahaha yeahhhh our humble minimalist friend Dawn :)
Not me waiting all day for a Minimal Mom video to drop and then finding out it’s a 59 minute video and getting even more excited…👁️ 👄 👁️
Hahaha me toooooo!!!!!!!
Good to know I’m not the only one.
@@breakedpawn1plays221 yesterday I thought it was Tuesday and waited and waited and then…. It was only Monday.🤣🥲 only found dawn in April of this year! I am an addict now!!
Me three!
Lol! Took the words right out of my mouth!
I just want to thank you Dawn! I just emptied out my storage unit after paying a monthly payment for years. Some of it was painful like my mothers stoneware and (gulp) hundreds of $ of yarn and fabric that I wasn’t using. But I calculated that by getting rid of the unit, by retirement if I want to knit or quilt then, I will have saved enough to buy it all again and then some. And no more guilt with not using mom’s stoneware. ❤ love you Dawn for everything you do!
You go girl!
Good for you. Your mom would probably be happy to see you guilt free and living the life you want to live.
Well done! Freedom!!
Yay. As the youngest daughter in my family I inherited 4 sets of China from my mom, grandmother on both sides and great grandmother. We have five daughters so I saved a teacup and saucer for each of them and myself. Then we USED all the plates, bowls, and cups daily. Is it all broken and gone now? Yep, mostly because our girls are still small. But did they love using it and don't I think that my great grandmother would LOVE that her five great great granddaughters used the same dishes she used...YES!
I hope you donated the yarn and fabric - not cheap anymore.
I cleaned out my entire refrigerator/Freezer, took out the trash , washed dishes AND started dinner during the length of this video! I had put that frig off for far too long and ya know what, it wasn’t that bad!
I just dud my fridge yesterday & it took no time at all ! Why dud I think otherwise ?
@@lizzabbott I know right!!! We do build it up to be more than it is in our minds!
Great job!
I decluttered the guest room closet and went through all my books. I love these videos!!
That’s my plan too!! Yay!!!
WOW minimalist goals right here- being so decluttered that you have to keep a box of ‘sample clutter’ for your TH-cam content! Totally mindblown 🤯 seriously that’s just amazing, I would love to get to that point one day 🙏🏼
ok, that's what she meant... I'm thinking what is sample paper and why is it clutter? Example : Paper Clutter
❤ thought same thing 😅
Thank you for this video. I know I wasn't the only one waiting for one like this. I also want to mention how much I like that you,, Dana K. White and Clutterbug Cass all support each other and each other's ways of tackling the clutter monster.
Showing the whole process...with the struggles...teaches you and us on the go!!
Plus...we see that everyone has to work THROUGH struggles and not to give up!!!
It's REAL TIME and it is the best teacher!!!
Completely agree! This is my favorite type of video…real time-ish and talking us through it…thank you so much for this video🥰
@@jennifercooper401438:14
Thank you Dawn, I started watching this video and literally got up out of bed to go get something done while you talk to me. Thank you. 🙏
Between binge watching yours and Cass's videos over the past 2 days, I've removed 5 bags of trash and donated 5 bags and 5 boxes (love those round numbers.) Tonight, after work, I'll be breaking down all the empty boxes that I've had stashed in closets all over the house. 💖
I've tried so many other methods to declutter (including KonMari). I ALWAYS had lots of limbo piles/boxes/etc., all over the place afterward that I didn't get back to to finish due to illness, ADHD, life events, etc. I always associated making an in-between "mess" with decluttering.
I've binged some of Dana's no-mess process and 1 Hour Better videos to get a good feel for the method. I did just a little bit the other night in my pantry area. I loved it!
I explained this new process to my husband and he likes the idea of no mess and permanently/completely dealing with the one item in your hand in one go with no mess afterward. Tiny one-by-one accomplishments are way better than a mountain of in-beween piles that leave a bigger mess and no sense of accomplishment.
I wish I could do that too but my problem is most of the things that should be put away don’t have a “home” yet because the “home” needs to be carved out somehow. I’ll get there someday 😩
@@cindyhenry1410Sometimes it is very quick & satisfying to pick a drawer or spot inside a cabinet to declutter if you have 10 minutes to spare. That might clean out some future homes for stuff?
@@cindyhenry1410 Only if it makes sense to do so, start putting all of the homeless items together for now, as though it were a category of its own; then proceed to carve out space when given the time. Start small, and with the easiest category / space first. Maybe 10 minutes each day for the first week, then build on that :)
I always watch your videos entirely. I take you with me from room to room whilst doing chores and such. It's your pleasant, wholesome nature and wisdom that gets me every time. THANK YOU, Dawn! 🩷🌼🩷
It’s one thing to hear you say there’s nothing wrong with us for not getting to an area that needs attention, but when you say it out loud to your self it’s like, wow, she is kind to herself! Maybe I can be kind to myself too ❤❤❤
I felt this too! ❤️
Thank you for being so transparent and showing the real-time struggles showing how to work them instead of letting them become a hurdle or giving up! You are such a gem!!!
I second this comment! You're a gem, indeed.
I needed a monitor riser for my small desk but didn’t want to lose writing space and I didn’t need storage. I picked up a small cake stand in the Target Dollar Spot for $5 and it has worked perfect!
I worked the hour along with you and decluttered/straightened up my craft room. I had 1 black bag of trash, a bin of donate, and some time will tell items that are going to be stored in a utility closet. That's for another time! Took before/after photos so I can remember what I can accomplish in just an hour. Thanks. Now, I want to lie down and rest my back.😊
Lol I worked through it too, and now I'm laying down to go through the comments 😂
I thought it would take an hour to move everything in the way and get the piece of furniture moved to the spot I wanted it. It took less than 5 minutes! Easy peasy. Thank you, Dawn. You got me to get in there and get it done!
I agree with this video 💯%! I just turned 60 a month ago. Over the past year I've really been downsizing/decluttering. Im in the mindset that says "would my children/grandchildren have to figure out what to do with it?" I'm a quilter
No one else in my immediate family has any desire to sew or quilt. I've decluttered so much of my unused supplies and fabrics. My kitchen gadgets....who would be using them when i pass? Probably no one. So they've slowly been going away. I literally only keep something that is a gift from my parents or my immediate family. My house isn't spotless by any means but chores that use to take hours daily to complete only take an hour now. I put my husband on a clothes diet. He's a hoarder of crap clothes. His mindset is "i need clothes for working on cars and doing messy chores". He has a uniform service at work now. He doesn't need 35 work shirts! So he's on a limit of 5 pieces of clothing for each category. I filled a construction size garbage bag with ratty clothes of his! These clothes weren't even fit for donating. But I did the same for myself. I didn't really have that many clothes because i mostly have work out clothes. But im a gadget junky. I have to keep myself dialed back on that.
But this video is so important!!! Seriously . Do we want our families to have to deal with our junk when we're gone? Isn't really very thoughtful is it?🤔
Dawn!!!! I’m shooook. I have watched this video before and folded laundry or done dishes. 😮 today I watched while I organized my laundry room and I should have taken a before and after photos!! You have no idea how much you’ve helped me.
As I’m walking out for a garbage run I’m yelling, “wait Dawn, I’ll be right back!” Thank you! ❤❤
I’ve just downsized to a 24’ travel trailer. Even with all that I have donated and shared with family (keepsake stuff) I am still sitting in the middle of a mess that feels every bit as cluttered as what I got rid of ! Hoping to work through this with you tonight. I’ll keep you posted. Lol
You can do it
You’ve got this!
I did my dishes and a part of my kitchen after a whole day of cooking for an event for 30 people ! It was really fun to do it with you Dawn.
I am helping my Awesome Daughter-in-love (law) to declutter before they move in a few weeks. ❤ Thank you to you, Dana, and Cass!❤️
I've binge-watched your videos today. Just hearing you talk me through it while I declutter has been very motivating. My husband is also very grateful (I'm the messy one). 😁
Love this. I am a (forever) member of the Take Your House Back course. I have been following all three of you long before the course. I have made so many changes in my house and yet this helped me to see you follow the steps. We get so use to decluttering with time but forget the basic steps sometimes. There is a continued need to keep decluttering as new stuff enters our homes and our needs change over time. Thank you for the great example.
Also a forever member of Take Your House Back!
I body doubled with you... started with the 1 minute decluttering video and got sent to this one and now I'm in my office, tidying away. If you ever feel like it's weird to setup your camera for these things, don't. They're so motivational and inspiring to so many of us! Thanks for all you do to keep this channel going.
I held this video until today when I had time to do a deeper declutter. Like you, I decided to tackle my office. I didn’t think I’d have much trash, but was surprised when I started searching for it. Been following along, pausing when I needed more time for each step, and my office is looking really good, now. Love that you get your kids involved in helping with household maintenance. It’s a really good life skill to have.
I moved into a smaller home 7 months ago and still have unpacked boxes. Just by having Dawn doing what she does so well and listening to her encouraging words, I was able to empty two boxes and throw out/donate "some day" sewing projects and quilting supplies that have become "Fantasy Hobbies." Hard, but DONE!
I had to giggle when you shared that you have to save “sample” paper clutter. As a teacher, I always have paper everywhere. Goals 🙌
I would love to see your new bank of cabinets centred on that back wall, and then the chairs in front if that works for you. Love your videos! I carted 22 boxes down 2 flights whilst working my way through your video, took me about 4 hours to watch all of it, thank you for motivating me to finish. We move in T minus 8 days.
Yes!
I was thinking the same thing 😄 it’s such a nice space, (imo)the chairs would look so inviting in the center with the cabinets and painting behind-could even put a small, tall plant/tree on each side for balance. Oh my🤪 I think I’m watching too much HGTV. Whatever Dawn decides will be perfect!💥
Good luck to you on your move 😊
Love watching you Dawn and your sister Diana! I have decluttered and minimized so much! I will still continue to watch you both! Kuddos to your parents for raising such lovely women😀
My efforts at decluttering my home have FINALLY gotten through to my husband. He is also now ready to simplify!! Your videos have really motivated me to start this journey, so thank you. My kitchen (where I've been able to focus a lot of my energy) is a zillion times cleaner & more functional. I actually kind of like my kitchen now, & I've never said that before. I have a lot left to do in the rest of my house, but I know I can do it.
I have gotten into the habit of watching/listening to your videos while I'm folding the laundry. I've found it is just the thing I need to get motivated to declutter something, ANYTHING. I have a long way to go, but I want you to know how grateful I am for your channel - it's my absolute favorite on this topic.
Thank you Dawn. I get so much energy from you, love your natural and easy going style. I wait for a new video from you , or I re-watch all the old ones over and over and never get bored 😊
I’m in the middle of doing my whole house!! My stuff, deceased parents items from when the house was sold…5 years ago 😢 I always listen to your videos while decluttering and removal of items….
Seeing that even the best of us struggles sometimes is so encouraging. Thank you for your candour and generosity.
Thank you for being with me while I worked in my kitchen and around the house. And of course I stayed to the end, I love your company! 💕
Tears of gratitude are falling down my cheeks! Thank you so much for this video. I started it to give me encouragement for a daunting task. By the time you started to wind things down, I suddenly realized I had finished! God bless you for your wonderful help!!!❤
Love your videos! Oh and in Australia, we use ‘trash/garbage’ more for things that aren’t good. Things to throw away, we say ‘rubbish’ 😁😁
I’m gonna add “rubbish” to my vocabulary when I’m evaluating clutter. Thanks!
Same here in NZ..hey from over the ditch 😅
👋🇦🇺😁
I went through my closet, make up, nightstand and drawers while listening. Thank you so much for the motivation!
I really enjoyed the "work together, work through" real-life decluttering. I find it much more helpful and motivating than a super sped up decluttering session where you don't know what is sorted, the thought behind it, etc. Thanks for your wonderful content!
Love the body doubling videos! Sometimes I search for them when I have to tackle something I’ve been putting off- gives me the motivation to do it with a friend 😊
And totally sound like a mom here - but display that you-tube plaque!! You just casually threw it in the shelves and I was saying nooooo- put that out to show off what your hard work has accomplished! 😂
Awesome to see Dana's 5 steps in real life. Your office looks amazing!
This is so great! I'm actually in this right now. We are having our floors redone so we ordered a POD and have all of our stuff in it. Once the floors are done and we are ready to unpack our house. Everything is being gone through and I am using these tips to help me. I'm excited now. I'm thinking we will be able to donate and/or get rid of 70% at least. Yay!!!!
This was so good Dawn, you are so refreshing to talk with😜I mean watch 😂. I might talk to you a little while I listen as you work through and decide what’s staying or going.Thank you so much for all your help and generous support, and taking us in with you on this decluttering trip. I’m so grateful for you, you’ve helped me more than you know...Your office looks great, good job on the shelves and hole drilling 😊your new accessories look so nice on your desk.
the take it there method was the only reason why i still have energy to continue my decluttering and organizing journey even after 3 years! i was skeptical of it too but it just works.
I always hear Dana after putting away my groceries. I now put my shopping bags straight into the car. “ Im taking it there now. 😂 I use this all the time ! 😅
I loved this video! You had the same things to deal with as I do. I also love that Corbin is your Mini-me! He loves to hang with you when you are organizing. I love how he watches so closely what you are doing. I can almost hear the wheels turning in his head as he is coming up with ideas, as well! One last request-- could you do a video on the "container concept" that you talked about when you were putting things away? I think I understand what it is but I struggle with doing it myself. Thank you!
My neurotic need for symmetry wants me to beg you to please center those 3 cabinets on that wall.🤪
i was thinking the same, then center the chairs!
I understand! My kids call me crazy but symmetry makes me feel better! 😂
Did she say where she got the cabinets?? I’m needing some
Marshall's or Home Goods??
@@Patriciaee8917ikea. It’s in the description:)
Thanks Dawn! These videos are great! I successfully downsized to a smaller home about 6 months ago thanks to you, Dana, and Cas!While watching this I made a sweep through my living area, office, and kitchen to take care of clutter creeping in, PLUS cleaned my bathroom and did a tidy of my bedroom. Body doubling works! 55:17
Great video. I have always wanted someone to be around when I clean and do chores. I like to hear that I have done a good job and that it looks great. That is what my mama always did with me after I finished something I was working on. That started when I was thirteen and I have never liked doing things alone since I got married at 21. My girls fuss because I am not as tidy as I use to be and I try to tell them that I like body dubbing but they won’t listen. Now I am 75 and have 54 years of stuff to declutter. Started last year but still have a lot to do and with several different back and leg issues, it is so hard to do. They both have really neat and clean homes next door to me.
Im so proud of myself. I heated up dinner, ate it, and threw away all the leftovers bc it was chicken. Then i washed all of today's dishes a n d pots. Made my drinks for going to bed. Took a couple things where they should go, and decluttered 20 items out of my sunroom. Im going to get ready for bed, decluttering as I go. Ran the vacuum in the bathroom . All this while still in a cast with a broken foot. I'm happy with what I could accomplish esp. Not feeling well. I love my roller. It helps me throw away old bills. Love the sitting area and the artwork. Thanks for being my declutter shadow!😂
Love your office space 😍 The cabinets might be my favorite part!
Thanks for not playing music, but instead, talking during this video. Very enjoyable, productive content❤. I was decluttering a few areas and sweeping up the dust bunnies along with you.
Great video! I worked in my walk-in closet and now I can “walk in “ to it 😂 thanks for being my body double.
Realized a crapalanche had built in a corner of my kitchen counter. Got it all under control while working with you. Thanks, Dawn!
Crapalanche is such a great word, I love it! 😁👍
😂
When I get overwhelmed I will take a quick break, go throw a load of laundry in, make a cup of coffee, etc. Then come back and it may feel like you've caught your second wind. Look for those ways to get a "second wind." I love your office space, it's really coming together nicely.
I have to say that the"take it there now" mantra has helped ,not only with decluttering, but also with everyday tidying. I do it so often I can hear a little voice in my head saying "take it there now" and I put things away right away.
Really like this long form video where you walk through each of the items 👍⭐🌻 Very helpful 🎉😊❤️
Dawn, Thank You 😊
I did stick around to the end.
I didn't do any declutter but got my dishes washed, and did quite a few little things to get myself ready for the work week. It helps motivate me having you with me cheering me on 💕
What I've found for myself is that if I'm having a hard time getting started a quick win (or wins) helps me restrengthen my decluttering muscles which starts a wonderful loop of feel good, declutter more. Start small and go from there. My biggest hint? We all have lives, committments, constraints, etc. Our goal is to find a less cluttered, more peaceful home (spaces in general) HOW we get there is so dependent on our individual lives and personalities. It took me a LONG time to give myself permission to declutter in the way that works best for ME. I am so thankful that you and other decluttering content creators are willing to share your best practices so I can create the one that works best for me. Thank youl
I have big decluttering projects to do so I've been body doubling to your long videos. It makes me so happy when you're happy with a space you've worked on. It is so refreshing to see the work in progress as well as the finished product!
Thank you Dawn. I decluttered my iCloud with this video. I am working on deleting old videos in hopes NOT to pay for extra iTunes storage. I also want to thank you for helping us with body doubling for decluttering. I decluttered two grocery paper bags. I have not decluttered in about two months and today I emptied my Time will Tell basket and am going to donate everything.
UPDATE! Excited! I started with 113GB of photos and videos. I just finished getting it down to 24.4GB for all my iCloud storage! after 3.75 hrs
I need your help. I can’t figure out how to delete from iCloud or google. I am hoping a grandchild can help me soon. 😂 Congratulations 🎉on your progress.
I was just watching this video to get some inspiration on where to start declutterring, when I suddenly found myself declutterring. You are such an inspiration.
I have been watching you for so long (years) and I still enjoy each and every video. Your office looks beautiful!
You identified exactly why they are called Boxes of Doom: over time we forget what's inside and for the most part we tend to get it in our heads that something really important or difficult to process will be in there! That represented SO much of our closet storage for me when my husband and I were somewhat newly married and living in a smaller apartment.
Back then it was Marie Kondo who first spoke what was already in my heart and mind (just like you when you first heard Joshua Becker!) -- "Jessica, you don't have to keep and cram and 'organize' all this stuff into every nook and cranny!" With that I decluttered as best as I could as we packed up to move into our current place, leaving no box unidentified!
Since then what I've begun to notice about myself is that while I prefer everything hidden behind a door or cabinet, when I open said space I absolutely insist on being able to either see into a container, or to have it minimized enough and labeled in some way so that I could tell you everything that's in it, and I'm never inclined to avoid a box because of the mystery inside 😁
Still a work in progress but I am so thrilled by how far I've come in the two and a half years since I started this journey. I have now been dusting regularly, wiping down counters, doing a load of laundry almost daily...very soon I'll be graduated to cleaning and wiping down my windows and slider door just because! haha
Thank you thank you Dawn for enabling me to transform my life. You are a precious blessing ❤️🙏🏻
Thanks for body doubling! I love these videos where we can declutter and organize together. I can't get anyone in my family to do this. I really appreciate your content!! ❤
I body doubled with you and got a few things done too. That was fun! I had to see your job completed so of course I stayed until the end, and it looked great. It's so true that it takes far less time and effort than you realize and when it's done it can be so sweet to the soul.
I broke my “power hour” up into 2 30 minute sessions and organized my closet and got about half way through my craft room. I save most of your videos for body doubling and the long ones are the best!!
I shredded for 3 days last week. 1 bookcase where the papers lived is so much clearer. Was able to toss 3 pieces of solid wood heavy furniture. 😊 So happy for the cleared space.
Girl you didn’t have to call me out with the title! Lol all my deep cleans lead to two day messes. I’ll be watching for the tips!
Lol, yes. It becomes the dreaded weekly “project”. 😅
This method is a game changer!!!
I LOVE the long form content! I was so productive!
Thank you for not playing music , speeding up video , cutting out the not so pretty struggle stuff, and calling things scary. I use tall plastic container for foil & plastic wrap
I live in a smallish home. I do have a basement. So I have been doing the "carry the stuff where it belongs now" thing. It works! I have been cleaning the sewing room (long story) and now moving my "office" into the house as I am starting a "business". Lots of stuff that needs a home. "Where would I look for this?" I am putting items where I would look for it. Great video. Thank you! I did stick around. I know the overwhelmed feeling in the office. And I have started "decluttering" my desk not realizing this was a good brain reboot, but it is. Thanks again!
That space would make an awesome classroom for homeschooling!
Thanks for hanging out with me today - I tackled several things that I haven't wanted to do alone 🙂
I body doubled with you tonight after I got the kids to bed. I thought I was going to sit on the couch and be a potato. But I turned on this video while making tea for myself and my husband and got the itch to tackle my tea Cabinet that has been driving me nuts forever. Thank you Dawn for all your wonderful advice and knowledge 🙏🏻
So glad I joined you while I was decluttering/organizing my laundry room. You got those cute wood desk organizers and the decisions you verbalized to not use them spoke to me. I had gotten some containers for this project and they just weren't what I ultimately wanted but I thought I "should just use them, make it work.." When you said you only wanted to do this project once the way you like it..exactly what I was feeling. I took them back today and got what will really work. Thank you for thinking out loud and also the FranklinCovey organization tip.
Thank You for the longer post. Anyone who is working in a space can stay motivated if we don’t run out of “Dawn.” 😊
I decluttered right along with you, and was amazed at how much stuff I found! We have downsized so much, but there's always stuff to get rid of if you dedicate time to doing it. Thanks, Dawn!
Thanks for keeping me company while I did an all-out empty, clean everything, and reorganization of my refrigerator .
I like this long format. I definitely body doubled! I'm off work with a broken wrist so I'm decluttering what I can with one hand. (And taking breaks to watch you work.)
I love that you showed how even your office can get messy and even "the minimal mom" can get overwhelmed when working!
Your office looks amazing and I love the two items from Home Goods! Thanks again for another inspiring video!!
Ironed and folded my pile of fabric, hemmed curtains and finally finished mending my laptop case! Love these videos!
Thank you so much for revisiting how to organize and clean without making a mess. I gets so overwhelmed with the stuff that I couldn't get put away... which attracts more clutter while I'm busy taking care of other things in my life.
I was watching/listening while at work. I just enjoy your company while I work so I can get ideas and inspiration for my own home. I plan on playing this video again while I declutter and continue to pack up my house for moving. 😊 thanks for sharing great content!
It's all so pretty and calm! The cabinets, your desk, the frog!
I could watch videos like this all day!
Cleaned up my office/homeschool classroom, putting away those odds and ends, purging, and organizing while watching and listening to you
Dawn, for the three cabinets, instead of adding something to that wall, how about just centering the cabinets on that wall. It came together so well! I would also put a blue chair on each side of the cabinets. Please hang up your TH-cam award. You earned this!!!!! It would look good on the wall to the left of the picture and move the lamp to the right a bit, away from the picture. Love this video! ❤
I went to the basement and tidied. My basement is over 100 years old and wet, it was a MESS! I feel so much better about it now.
I body-doubled with you! My second time. I did my dishes, pared down how many pajamas I own, and cleaned off my kitchen table.
Sometimes at work I'm flooded with peace from what my first body doubling inspired!!
I love watching you. You're funny, you're real, and you have a real cute personality. 🥰 Thank you!
You are amazing with the things you come up with!
What stood out to me was when you said that the items got to the point of clutter in the spade because we didn't know what to do with them.
So this signals to me that a lot of my clutter is due to not engaging in those decisions for those items, and then the lack of those decisions is contributing to the stuff becoming clutter
Thank you for your honesty. It is overwhelming when the shelves need to be adjusted 😅, but then you get a win and it all fits 🎉
OMG! I intentionally decided to skip soccer for 3 grandkids this week so I "could work on things without a plan!"
Thank you for the motivation & a way for me to focus!
I was able to work on things which have been on my mental list!
thank you so much for this video! i tackled our baking drawer. I cleaned the drawer and all of the boxes, sorted out stuff that we didn't use any longer or that was waaaay over the best-before date (I found stuff from 2016!) and I actually labelled all the boxes and organised them more efficiently. It looks so much better now ❤
Hi Dawn. That really shows us something when you actually have to collect old papers and things so you can teach paper clutter. Applause 🎉 to you❤
I often watch one of these videos from either Dawn, Cas, Dana K White while I make breakfast and wash Dishes . I should’ve kept track when I started making sure my kitchen countertop was always wiped and sink always cleared. I start my day by emptying the dishwasher if it is clean or returning what’s in the drain board back where it belongs. My day with a healthy habit has actually help me lose weight I guess it is kicking my cortisol back in line and eliminating the stress of this mess holding over my head. I organized my craft room the other day and started purging craft supplies I don’t plan to commit to this year. Tomorrow I may tackle my office or repair my swing machine.
Oh my gosh, I body double with one of these ladies ALL THE TIME. Though I usually listen to Dana via her audio books. She’s really funny. I’ve listen to her books so many times as I’ve tackled my stuff. So helpful.
That mouse is so great Dawn! Give it a chance it doesn’t take long to get used to! Helped my carpal tunnel a ton!
