Yes! Love this so much! I always love to see how others get organized! Thank you so much for being such an amazing friend and supporting Productivity Prism! Love you so much!!!
This video actually brought me to tears. I've been a caregiver almost all my life. I am a wife, mother, and an older sister to a sibling with Downs Syndrome with multiple special needs. I've always thought of myself as just a caregiver, or just a homeschool mom. You helped me realize the value in what I'm doing every day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤
Thank you for putting it out there about holding your judgements and negative comments. I am the one that watches you to learn, love, and chill out for 30 minutes. ❤❤❤You are so honest and amazing! I am 60 and have always worked. Thank you for the motivation! ❤❤❤❤
Great video! I love your soap box message. Keep it kind. We really need to be the best we can be to each other. Life is already hard enough. Cheers to 2025!
18:34 try and put kindness on your 2025 list… absolutely!!! People who are bitter and mean and wicked need more Jesus in their life! Your so right, Lauren, your really don’t know what others going through.
BEST CONTENT EVER. I personally needed every word. Inspiring, motivational and moving. Know that you’re making a positive effect . Looking so forward to your future! I’m so here for it .
Wish I would have been introduced to you in my 40's instead of at 65....but, I am still learning so much from you! As a retiree, sometimes it seems like I don't have as much going on as when I worked but, when I look at my schedule and to do list, I see that I am doing just as much if not more than when I was working a 9-5 job. Thank you for all your insight and inspiration and I will see you tomorrow! 😍
I think sometimes people forget that just because we post videos and invite people into our lives doesn’t mean we invite their negativity. It’s a shame people can’t see the beauty in watching someone do things differently than you so you can learn. ❤❤❤
You nailed that. Why is it now a bad thing to learn from other people’s different ideas and ways of doing things? Knowledge makes people well rounded. Crazy.
Love this too! I am a tad older than you Lauren but can apply many things you discussed to my life and goals. I am looking forward to 2025 and trying very hard to not look back but to be present!!! Present for me, my husband, family. and my faith. I was raised to be very disciplined and productive. My goal is to be more intentional. I agree that life can be short, and we need to appreciate each other and lift each other UP! Looking forward to all that you have ahead of you this year!
Hey Lauren. I did a big career change at 42. Now 4 years later I'm happier then ever. Your planning ideas and way of life inspire me to get more done in a day. So thank you. Happy 2025 for you and your family and good luck!!
This video is fire, girl! I've always adored your channel. I love that you're so interested in so many things - your fam, cooking, gardening, chickens and every living creature, organizing, cleaning (you make me want to get up and mop or something). Now I see how you accomplish so much! Your tips on planning and the breakdown of your framework is the clearest, most succinct explanation I have ever seen!. You can never leave TH-cam, you know (please), but you really should take this planning thing on the road. You need to write a book, Lauren! So helpful to so many! Bravo!
Your content is 10/10. I can only hope to fit as much into a day as you do. I’m 35 and have 3 little kids. Working a full time job, a side hustle, my husband is FT working and owns a business. I need your channel to help me structure this chaotic life. I’m so glad I found you years ago!!!!
You are my happy place! Your last several vids really inspired me to get back to keeping my home like I used to. I skipped putting in my garden last year to take care of some grandkids. Your enthusiasm and positivity really are needed. You will have so much fun in the coming year and will have great memories of this time in your life. Thank you so much for all your hard work and, especially, your kindness!! May it be contagious!
It's so refreshing to hear you speak about work & career goals and how they are all rooted in your genuine care for your children... As a former homemaker (now divorced & a single working mom of 2 toddlers), I so appreciate how you budget your time to be the best mother you can be in YOUR SITUATION. I never expected to be a single working mother, and I've experienced so much guilt for missing out on time with my children. But you've assured me that I really am using my time productively, to give my children the best life possible. Thank you & God bless!
Was so happy to see you on here today. So true it would be a much better world if we would be kind to each other. Someone years ago shared with me that just because I welcomed her to our Church and ask if she would like to join me and my husband where we were sitting. She said I changed her life. She shared that she had come to Church because she was going to go home and commit suicide. I had no idea. You never know what a smile,a kind word or just a compliment is what someone need.
WOW! That is so powerful and such a testimony of how impactful love can be over hate. Thank you for being here and sharing this wonderful story. God bless you!!!
Lauren I think this might be one of your best videos! Talk about living your values...sharing with us the incredible skills of how to live a productive value aligned life that you have makes a real impact! Please keep sharing your wisdom about this with us...its so needed and you are such an inspiration!
I love that about kindness, the golden rule.. My daddy was diagnosed with terminal cancer on Christmas Eve and it’s crazy how massively your perspective on life can change, and what’s important.. and your vision towards everything and everyone.
A Happy Blessed New Year to you and your family and to all who are here. I know I’m not alone when I say it’s always such a great pleasure to watch your videos and the motivation you inspire in your audience Your family and friends are so fortunate. As are we. Thank you 🙏 ❤
I realised I have spent too much time here in youtube, that time I didn’t use wisely in the past. So i made the decision to delete the app from my phone. I only watch one video in the evening at my ipad. I have been following you for the past 3-4 yrs now, love your content, so whenever your video is coming up it is sure that the one video I’ll watch is gonna be yours. Thank you for your wise words, i feel I have already learnt from you so much. 😊 Happy 2025 for sou and your family.
I absolutely love and adore your channel. I have been following you since you started your channel, and I have learned SO much from you, from cooking, cleaning and time blocking. Lauren I love your positivity and the love you have for all things you do. I hope you and your family have a very blessed 2025 ❤
Yes girl!!! More of this please! I’ll go thru this video with a fine tooth comb. Love it! I was never taught how to achieve or even set goals. Just starting to figure it all out now. This is so helpful I could kiss you😂. You’re the mentor I wish I had 20 years ago. Excellent work and thanks for sharing❤️❤️❤️
Lauren. This was one hell of a video. I love that you don’t have to know what tomorrow brings and that you are open to change. What an excellent roll model you are for us AND your children daily! Happy 2025. Hugs🌸
I assume some people can't relate to you because we are all wired differently. They lack to see what they can learn from you even if the picture is smaller. I enjoy your videos and the energy you maintain by eating right excerise and discipline. You are honest , amazing, and inspiring. ❤
Sweet Lauren,thank you , thank you , thank you.for today's video.This was the best way to bring in the New Year 2025. There has been way to much negativity in this world.Im 73 years old and have seen way to much of that and hate. I have to say I have a few very favorite TH-cam channels that I look forward to,and you are one of them. You are down to earth real life lady.Who cares for your family so very much. As old as I am.I am always open to learning more. Thank you so much for sharing your video and the knowledge of life's lesson.🙂 Many Blessings for you and your family in the New Year.🎉
Anybody else feel like you were sitting on your bed with a bowl of popcorn and your mom comes in & says honey we need to talk…. lol 😂 I LOVE a good pep talk that snaps me into shape and motivates me. Thanks Lauren! I also still think in that front room you should try turning table in front of the fireplace and where the table is now a little cafe sitting nook. It’s hard to tell on screen if it would fit but anyways happy New Year Lauren, we love your channel! ❤
AMEN to you on your soapbox!!!❤ my mother always taught me that if you can say nothing good/nice, then you should not say anything at all. You don't know that person's circumstances. You never know what's going on behind someone's doors. Me I've recently gone back to work after staying home for 18 years. It's only part-time, but it's a big adjustment, and my family is so very supportive and helpful ❤
Lauren, I absolutely love watching your videos. You absolutely teach us so much about everything. Your recipes and how to cook everything are so informative. I so look forward to watching and learning from you. I think that you are amazing to make all these home-cooked wonderful meals for your family. Because, you work a full-time job, you run a household, as well as have to care for your husband and four children. Plus all the love you give all your animals and foster all the kittens and cats. You even have a lovely garden. You do so much and you focus on your family 100%. Your admirable, hard-working, and very entertaining. Your decorating is incredible.❤️🥰🙏🏼❤️🥰 I feel so blessed that I came across your videos all those years ago and have loved them ever since.
Hi Lauren, I just recently found your channel, totally loving your content. I have seriously never found someone on here who loves planning, listing and blocking! You have been teaching me so much, thank you. I also find your voice and music soothing and relaxing. I’m also a doggie and chicken Momma, kids are grown but recently became a grandma, best thing next to my life while raising my children! Anyway, here in Arizona, we are fortunate to have 2 growing seasons. My garden is mostly herbs and peppers (still trying to figure out other veggies, lol.) Many herbs are perennials, so I never have to take them out. Others, like cilantro and dill, are heat sensitive so only winter garden for me. Not sure what your zone is in Napa, but you may have the benefits of some perennial herbs. 😊💗
❤Yes! To sharing positivity and kindness and support! Love you and this community! Your channel gives me joy and peace and comfort during my day!! Thank you! ❤
What a great “soapbox” (your words) suggestion - to be kind! Will order the planner! Think I will really use the information provided. Happy New Year, Kid!
I had done that for many years when my boys were little. ❤When you have boys you especially need to find ways to connect with them! Decorating the house for all the holidays are something that helped us connect! Now they're bigger but still enjoy coming home from college to enjoy the family and decor
@LaurenNicholsen The boy's loved all the holidays but they especially loved spooky 👻 Halloween 🎃! My family is creative, but my husband never learned to be creative ! So we got married and he followed my lead! He's very creative just in different ways! He builds things for the house 🏠 and our landscaping in the front of the house and the backyard. 🙏🏻✨️💓🪻🌻🪻Lauren , you're doing a great 👍🏻 job!
I am 56 years and with my husband until almost 3 years ago. I always wanted to make goals and dreams and plan for the year ahead. He lasts said that going through that process is a waste of time. Our marriage has failed and I have been floundering for the past few years because I allowed this man who was suppose to love not live according to my values. This is going to be my year to start fresh, set goals and plan my life. Thank you for this Lauren you are lovely and a great role model.
Thank you for sharing! I am 40 this week and currently in nursing school, as it was my life goal. It's my second big career, so I was nervous but so glad I made the choice to be uncomfortable with something new for a while to help provide for my family. You handled the negative comments with grace!
I feel like you’re having an Ina Garten moment in your career! You should read or listen to her memoir, it’s so inspiring and adorable. I’ve absolutely been loving it to kick off the new year! Love your positivity Lauren!
I appreciate you sharing loads of laundry, clean up of Christmas decorations, and how much work it really is.... Your hardworking woman. So relatable and real. Thank you for inspiring videos.
Well done! I rearly comment, but I had to pull out the tiny phone to share with you this...I'm 64 and have been with you from the start, when the kids were being homeschooling because of the Covid. I began watching to see if there were tips for my daughter with 5 children (the bento lunch boxes were a big win) and tgat was just 1 of many wins. Along the way I learned for myself as well. You my dear have truly made a difference in these two households; impact. This video is will be a gamechanger for many. It all boils down to what's important -vs- time management. The tools you've shared are vital to have the ability and mindset to do just that. I love your content, but this video is so very valuable...share it friends. Love, Diana in Reno.
Awesome video! I'm 43 and this spring I'm starting classes to work towards earning my bachelor's degree. This was one of my 2025 goals, and I'm motivated to see it through, thanks to women like you.
Kindness 2025! Love it! I was working as a legal secretary once our youngest went to kindergarten. My husband encouraged me to get uncomfortable and go to college then law school at age 40. I did that and so glad I did. My husband died unexpectedly last year before he could even retire. He just turned 60 and was working still. I can grieve but not also worry about supporting myself. Always keep that in mind as we age. Can we support ourselves if one spouse goes. Of course, I’d recommend life insurance and a will. We did neither, thinking it will never happen to us. I live in FL and my sister lives in AZ. We are going to travel to the Napa Vally. I’ve been to LA and San Diego but I am so excited to visit northern Cali in January 2025 ❤
I'm so sorry about your Husband. 😢 prayers sent your way. You are correct though, we never think it is going to happen to us. I will be putting that in my goals, If I lost my husband, I wouldn't be able to live in our house on my own. Thank you for your comment, I'm very sorry for your loss.
Bravo Lauren! Let the words for 2025 be POSITIVITY and KINDNESS! You put yourself out there for us on a regular basis and deserve some respect and admiration. Love your Annual Planning Program! I'm saying a prayer for you to find happiness and challenge in your new employment. ☺️💗
I’m 64 years old with an open heart and mind. You have taught me so much in this video. I always scoffed at goal setting because I thought it was too complicated. I didn’t think of the small things as goals. You’ve made me rethink that. Thank you.
I so needed to be reminded of all of this Lauren- thank you! Keeping focus on high level goals and core values is so crucial, and it's easy to stray if you don't stay focused. Thank you for the reminder and the wonderful tips. Maybe your next career should be life coach ❤
Lauren if your name is not on her loans you DO NOT have to pay them. I learned this upon my father’s death and they came for me. They weren’t happy but they accepted it and took the loss. It’s the law. Don’t let them tell you different
This is so true! When my Mother passed in 2022, I suddenly was being contacted regarding some debt she had. Ridiculous, I confirmed with a lawyer and NOPE, you are NOT responsible!
Absolutely true... If your name is not on the loan you do not have to pay however depending what the loan was for, i.e., a car, it could be repossed although most companies just show it as a loss and I'm sure get a tax writeoff. Now, let me say this was probably one of your best postings. I am glad you took on dealing with negative comments. These people do it to get attention and try to push peoples buttons. Very sad people indeed. Clearly if it was a normal person, there is so much on You Tube to get involved with other sites, MOVE ON! There is no need to be negative and those of us that love your channel do not want to hear it! I don't know if it is jealousy or what but there is no place for it on your channel and thank you for commenting on it! I am excited for you and what your future holds. I also am enjoying your new format and am excited to make some changes in my own life. I am 69 so hearing you talk about still making goals at 90 motivated me to take on making goals for myself and I thank you for that. You are an inspiration to all of us. You radiate class and have the best decorating style. I will be watching and thank you again!
You are not responsible personally, however, the deceased person's estate is. This is what I have been told. If you know otherwise, please let me know.
Lauren, If after talking to the Trustee if their explanation just doesn't make sense / doesn't seem correct, might want to check with a Lawyer who specializes in Real Estate Law. There are so many errors today, best to go start to a professional for the correct procedures and options. I would think if you and your siblings were not on the mortgages and you do not want to retain property through the inheritance process (per her Will; if it states real estate / property (s) is to be divided amongst my children), that some of the property's could be sold and those funds used to pay off the mortgages / property that you (or all your siblings) may want to KEEP (and continue to rent out).....I lost my Mother too unexpectedly in 2012. However, I was older age 52 and she had just turned a young 76. It gets easier each year.....
I love your videos Lauren. Thank you for being yourself and being true to your beliefs. You’re putting it all out there to help anyone that wants to listen and just maybe say ~I chose to watch this to make my day better in some way or learn something or smile at a fluffy cat on a pile of laundry. ❤
girl I have been wondering when you were gonna put that out there.youtube is not a place to be negative.we are all human and the struggle is real especially these days.we should ban together and help each other.i just love your videos you are the strongest person.Im a stay at home mom my daughter is almost thirteen so yeah the college days are coming😢 thank you for being so positive
Idk why this video hit different 💖🙏🏼 I loved it and it lit a fire ..I want to be able to help my kids with their education, wedding and starting their homes too 🙏🏼 Aiming for 2025 be the year of discipline for me
I agree about the negative comments - when we first got married - before we even had thoughts about kids - we went to ToysRUs to buy a board game for ourselves for the holidays. There was an older man behind us in the checkout line and he said his kids loved that game and was it for our kids. We said that it was for us for Christmas and he just went off - saying we shouldn't be buying any games and what were we even doing in the store if we don't have kids (granted he was alone and at least 20 years older than us!). We just didn't respond and got out of there as quickly as possible. That always stuck with me and now I think what a negative person he must have been to be around for his family. But - it did ruin our day having someone be so mean out of the blue without even knowing us. I think unhappy people just don't like to see other people happy and they need our prayers. PS - love the new intro graphics on your videos - very nice!
Omg Henry doing laundry! Managing those piles. I bet Pepe would be so jealous. He definitely wants to be put on the values list AT THE TOP ! He's so cute running around the house. I love seeing him and all the pets making their way into each video.
Lauren, yours is the only channel of its kind that I watch because you always motivate and teach me something new! I hope you have an incredible, joyful, restful, goal-tackling 2025!! ❤🎉
Thank you!! You are such an inspiration for me for organizing, cleaning, self care, cooking, etc! Happy New Year!! Hello to all the cutie kitties, fury and feathery friends too!❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
YES, please and thank you. . .keep the judgement to yourself. There are soooo many folks on TH-cam that align with everyone's thoughts and opinions. . .follow them!
Lauren, you are such an inspiring lady and I have been a subscriber for years now because we have the same decorating style and from what I can tell the same values! I want to let you know you are such a remarkable person with such grace to juggle so many irons in the fire! Thank you for sharing all of this and Amy’s planner looks like it is right up my alley! Keep up the good and hard work, you’re doing a fantastic job! ❤❤❤❤
Excellent soap box moment. Well said. Agree. Love it. Thank you. I'm so tired of the negative ninny's. Kindness please. Lets lift eachother up, its so much easier to love one another than the alternative. Love & peace y'all...lets do that...
Hi Lauren. I loved this video! I just had my fourth child last week and have been binging on your videos. My little newborn daughter loves the sound of your voice and falls asleep every time I put one of your videos on. I hope you had a lovely new year.
Oh Lauren, you are killing me. We won’t see spring here where I live in Idaho until the first part of May. I take down Christmas and leave up a lot of it that works for winter. I love it that you’ll always have goals. I’m about 20 years older than you and I still have goals different than I had 20 years ago but still things I want to accomplish or learn or just enjoy. My word for this year is peace, and that is worked in throughout my goals. Thanks for this video and everyone you do. It brings me joy and inspiration each time. Hugs❤
I’m a bit behind you but have a big career, big family goals and a working household. The truth bombs in this video are giving me life. The way you have family and career goals is a true inspiration. Thank you for continuing to post.
I am here for your soapbox moment! Also, I was shocked yesterday when my husband told me we should just keep the tree up and decorate it for each season. I think I he is coming around to my way of thinking! 😂 Wonderful video. I just love your content and I am definitely paying attention to your advice about scheduling my life. New habits, organization, and positivity!
I’m so grateful that you’ve shared your methods for productivity and planning. You provided so much detail on planning for the future in detail. When you discussed your desires and how to 10X that goal more rapidly if possible 👏🏽🙌🏽. Changing careers, pausing to evaluate etc. Thank you for being our internet 🛜 bestie 😊
Thank you for your boldness to tell it like it is on negativity! I heard this quote that is so good- “Be kind for everyone is going through something you know nothing about”. With several chronic pain conditions and chronic fatigue mostly couch and bedbound has made me -an already thoughtful person-very humble to not judge anyone. I also think of it this way. Not to excuse anyone who says mean comments but people who leave comments like that are not happy and are projecting that onto others. Again not to excuse their behavior but it helps me deal with people like that. Almost feel bad for them to not get angry about it. Thank you for your motivating videos that I need so much! -Elizabeth (45)
Love this video so much Lauren, wonderful content! I use some of your same principles and I came to the realization a few months ago that it was time to retire and gave a 12 month notice (only 6 months till retirement!). I love my job and the company I work for but I realized I am no longer able to take care of my home and family the way I want while continuing to work. It was a hard decision but I told myself “hey girl, you’re 71 and have been working since you were 16, you’ve made someone else’s coffee long enough”. Thank you for always being so honest and transparent.
Omg Lauren I don’t comment on your videos much but I watch them all the time I have to comment on this one girl you are amazing thank you for all your inspiration and insight your mom is looking down on you I’m sure she is very proud keep the videos coming !!!
I love your videos so much, Lauren! You inspire so many of us❤...and I loved your soapbox moment. Putting other people down to lift yourself up is not the move in 2025! 😂
Wow! I am a 66 year old retired Canadian clerical worker. I never felt that I had a career, I had a job. It was something that I didn't love, I tolerated it, always wishing to be at home raising our daughters. My job allowed us (my husband and I) to keep a roof over our heads and food in the fridge. Our daughters are grown women with husbands and children of their own and we are very proud of how wonderful they are. Unfortunately they too all have to be working moms to help keep the food in thd fridge and a roof over their heads. I have many regrets in life and now that we have more life behind us than ahead of us it's come to the point of do it or forget it. There are obstacles..... health issues and money being at the top of the list, so planning and determination are key to getting a few needs, wants and wishes accomplished. Your planning guide feels a overwhelming to me, but your advice is very inspiring, so thank you! Good Luck to you as you journey through 2025. Happy New Year!
Lauren, I've been watching and enjoying your videos for years and I think this is my favorite. I loved how you simplified the goal and planning process and also made it so personal. You are an AMAZING cook and I love how you honor your Mom with the delicious recipes you share. Also thank you for being a kind, good human. Best of luck in this New Year.
The way you put this is BRILLIANT! I’m certain many of us, myself included, needed to learn this broken down… the priority, values, etc. logic. Thank you for believing in yourself & educating us!! And yell it from the rooftops!! 🗣️🎤 World needs more kindness ❤ Happy New Year, Lauren. Looking forward to watching your future endeavours!!
I love this video, your frank talk about goals and just, can we be nice or be quiet “soapbox” comments, I just love it all. I’m keeping this to refer back to and motivate me to “backward plan” from my goals to my actionable steps… Thank you for the honest and heartfelt talk today.
I have watched you for quite a few years. Maybe from the beginning (not 100%sure). The advice and insight that you just shared literally blew me away! I'm in a good place in my life, but that hasn't always been the case. I lost both of my children (only children) within 5 years of each other. I have struggled and pushed through some of the worst times in my life because of these losses. You lose your identity ( if I'm not mom, who am I). You're positivity is what I strive for daily! I try so hard not to judge others and to always know that as bad as I've had it there are others that have had it so much worse. Long story short, if people like me and others like me can push through life and make something of this situation we've been dealt than why can't everyone do that? You are your own person and ultimately you choose the path you want to be on. In my opinion you're an awesome person inside and out! God bless you and your family!! And to those who find negativity in things no one is forcing them to do...MOVE ON AND FIND WHAT TRULY MAKES YOU HAPPY IS 100% TRUTH!!!❤️ ❤️
Wishing you and your family a prosperous New Year and please keep bringing us such beautiful content! This is my favorite video, thank you for your wise words.✝️🙏❤
Hi Lauren, I agree absolutely with you that negative comments are not needed, life is just too short. I did not see the link for your yummy dinner. Love that Pepe! 😊
Thank you, Lauren. I really needed this. I am starting the new year with learning how to budget and take control of my finances instead of them controlling me. I watched about a third of your video, paused, rewound, picked up a notebook, pushed play, and started writing down what you were saying, from Goalz to Frame work ......to the Plan. You are such a inspiration to my soul. I appreciate you. Happy New Year.🎉
I look forward to all of your videos, but I think this was my favorite. Thank you, for opening my eyes to things that we don’t usually think about. You are amazing. Thank you ❤
Love the reminder to figure out priorities, appreciate the time you have available to you, and the discipline and sacrifice that will be required. No regrets at the end of life (whenever that may be) ❤
P.S. I love that you say you are so proud of yourself when you accomplish something! I’m going to adopt that and tell myself that I am proud of me!! What a wonderful way to cheer ourselves on and recognize our accomplishments. We don’t need someone else to fill that cup, we can do it for ourselves. You are a ray of sunshine ☀️
Lauren this was extremely beneficial and just what I needed to hear! I love the idea of focusing on my values and being intentional about your routines to reflect those values! ❤❤❤
You are such an inspiration Lauren! I feel you have such a talent for teaching other women about achieving their life goals, whatever that may be. I feel your talents will be better utilized by breaking out on your own and expanding all your talents! I can’t wait to see what you bring to your channel for 2025!
Been here for years and really love and look forward to your content! Thank you - love this video - would really love a complete breakdown on your method with monthly, weekly, daily schedule. Just bought a meal and week schedule and let me just say, it’s way too small! 😂 love ya! Hugs from Denmark 🇩🇰
Thank you for charing your thoughts and your days with us. I truly appreciate you and you inspire me in the best ways. I also love to plan and having my days/weeks all planned out. So I really enjoy when others share their different ways. I got back to school (university) when I was 49. I went from an assistant nurse to become a vocational teacher in healthcare. (I finished at 51.) So what I am getting at is that it’s never too late! Best of luck with your future work plans! 🍀 By the way, in Sweden where I live, we are far from spring! We just got weather warnings about heavy snowfall. I love winter and snow, which helps! 😄 We usually expect spring in april. Take care. ❤
Yes! Love this so much! I always love to see how others get organized! Thank you so much for being such an amazing friend and supporting Productivity Prism! Love you so much!!!
Love you and your planner is life changing!
@ 💕💕💕
This video actually brought me to tears. I've been a caregiver almost all my life. I am a wife, mother, and an older sister to a sibling with Downs Syndrome with multiple special needs. I've always thought of myself as just a caregiver, or just a homeschool mom. You helped me realize the value in what I'm doing every day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤
Thank you for putting it out there about holding your judgements and negative comments. I am the one that watches you to learn, love, and chill out for 30 minutes. ❤❤❤You are so honest and amazing! I am 60 and have always worked. Thank you for the motivation! ❤❤❤❤
Great video! I love your soap box message. Keep it kind. We really need to be the best we can be to each other. Life is already hard enough. Cheers to 2025!
I love that!!!! That is who I want to be for you and why I show up here!
Amen to this.
18:34 try and put kindness on your 2025 list… absolutely!!! People who are bitter and mean and wicked need more Jesus in their life! Your so right, Lauren, your really don’t know what others going through.
BEST CONTENT EVER. I personally needed every word. Inspiring, motivational and moving. Know that you’re making a positive effect . Looking so forward to your future! I’m so here for it .
Thank you!!!
❤
Thank you for getting on your soap box. I love you and your honesty,values, and discipline! Thank you for sharing all your wisdom.
Thank you for being here!!!
Wish I would have been introduced to you in my 40's instead of at 65....but, I am still learning so much from you! As a retiree, sometimes it seems like I don't have as much going on as when I worked but, when I look at my schedule and to do list, I see that I am doing just as much if not more than when I was working a 9-5 job. Thank you for all your insight and inspiration and I will see you tomorrow! 😍
It is never too late to learn and grow! Honestly I am going through the same transition without a 9-5 and we can grow together.
I’m right there with you. I’m 61 and with I had a Lauren earlier in my life. ❤
@@LaurenNicholsen What a lovely response to this comment. ❤
I always think the same thing. She is an inspiration.
Omg, I’m 40, I was thinking, I wish I will be younger to have time to do more.
I think sometimes people forget that just because we post videos and invite people into our lives doesn’t mean we invite their negativity. It’s a shame people can’t see the beauty in watching someone do things differently than you so you can learn. ❤❤❤
Amen! It takes a lot to put yourself out there like this and we are aware of our shortcomings.
Negativity breeds Negativity😊
You nailed that. Why is it now a bad thing to learn from other people’s different ideas and ways of doing things? Knowledge makes people well rounded. Crazy.
Well done. You are my friend in my head. I agree people need to give people grace.
Love this too! I am a tad older than you Lauren but can apply many things you discussed to my life and goals. I am looking forward to 2025 and trying very hard to not look back but to be present!!! Present for me, my husband, family. and my faith. I was raised to be very disciplined and productive. My goal is to be more intentional. I agree that life can be short, and we need to appreciate each other and lift each other UP!
Looking forward to all that you have ahead of you this year!
Hey Lauren. I did a big career change at 42. Now 4 years later I'm happier then ever. Your planning ideas and way of life inspire me to get more done in a day. So thank you. Happy 2025 for you and your family and good luck!!
Thank you so much for being here!! So proud of you for taking the next step!
@@LaurenNicholsen thx greetings from snowy Belgium
This video is fire, girl! I've always adored your channel. I love that you're so interested in so many things - your fam, cooking, gardening, chickens and every living creature, organizing, cleaning (you make me want to get up and mop or something). Now I see how you accomplish so much! Your tips on planning and the breakdown of your framework is the clearest, most succinct explanation I have ever seen!. You can never leave TH-cam, you know (please), but you really should take this planning thing on the road. You need to write a book, Lauren! So helpful to so many! Bravo!
Loved your comment on kindness. It needed to be said. Have a blessed New Year’s.❤
Your content is 10/10. I can only hope to fit as much into a day as you do. I’m 35 and have 3 little kids. Working a full time job, a side hustle, my husband is FT working and owns a business. I need your channel to help me structure this chaotic life. I’m so glad I found you years ago!!!!
When you show your doggy it brightens my whole day there is something about that dog that makes me smile every time haha! Always love your videos! ❤
Awww I love that! He’s such a happy boy!!
Yes! I wish I had Pepe’s energy!
@@michelleneuman579 same, girl!!
You are my happy place! Your last several vids really inspired me to get back to keeping my home like I used to. I skipped putting in my garden last year to take care of some grandkids. Your enthusiasm and positivity really are needed. You will have so much fun in the coming year and will have great memories of this time in your life. Thank you so much for all your hard work and, especially, your kindness!! May it be contagious!
You are literally the sweetest. Your mindset is seriously so inspiring and beautiful. I'm so happy I found your channel. ❤
I am so happy you are here!
It's so refreshing to hear you speak about work & career goals and how they are all rooted in your genuine care for your children... As a former homemaker (now divorced & a single working mom of 2 toddlers), I so appreciate how you budget your time to be the best mother you can be in YOUR SITUATION. I never expected to be a single working mother, and I've experienced so much guilt for missing out on time with my children. But you've assured me that I really am using my time productively, to give my children the best life possible. Thank you & God bless!
Was so happy to see you on here today. So true it would be a much better world if we would be kind to each other. Someone years ago shared with me that just because I welcomed her to our Church and ask if she would like to join me and my husband where we were sitting. She said I changed her life. She shared that she had come to Church because she was going to go home and commit suicide. I had no idea. You never know what a smile,a kind word or just a compliment is what someone need.
WOW! That is so powerful and such a testimony of how impactful love can be over hate. Thank you for being here and sharing this wonderful story. God bless you!!!
Lauren I think this might be one of your best videos! Talk about living your values...sharing with us the incredible skills of how to live a productive value aligned life that you have makes a real impact! Please keep sharing your wisdom about this with us...its so needed and you are such an inspiration!
I love that about kindness, the golden rule.. My daddy was diagnosed with terminal cancer on Christmas Eve and it’s crazy how massively your perspective on life can change, and what’s important.. and your vision towards everything and everyone.
A Happy Blessed New Year to you and your family and to all who are here.
I know I’m not alone when I say it’s always such a great pleasure to watch your videos and the motivation you inspire in your audience
Your family and friends are so fortunate. As are we.
Thank you 🙏 ❤
I realised I have spent too much time here in youtube, that time I didn’t use wisely in the past. So i made the decision to delete the app from my phone. I only watch one video in the evening at my ipad. I have been following you for the past 3-4 yrs now, love your content, so whenever your video is coming up it is sure that the one video I’ll watch is gonna be yours. Thank you for your wise words, i feel I have already learnt from you so much. 😊 Happy 2025 for sou and your family.
Thank you!!
I absolutely love and adore your channel. I have been following you since you started your channel, and I have learned SO much from you, from cooking, cleaning and time blocking. Lauren I love your positivity and the love you have for all things you do. I hope you and your family have a very blessed 2025 ❤
Thank you! I am so grateful you are here!
Yes girl!!! More of this please! I’ll go thru this video with a fine tooth comb. Love it!
I was never taught how to achieve or even set goals. Just starting to figure it all out now. This is so helpful I could kiss you😂. You’re the mentor I wish I had 20 years ago. Excellent work and thanks for sharing❤️❤️❤️
This means so much to me, I am so happy you are finding it helpful!!
Lauren. This was one hell of a video. I love that you don’t have to know what tomorrow brings and that you are open to change. What an excellent roll model you are for us AND your children daily! Happy 2025. Hugs🌸
I assume some people can't relate to you because we are all wired differently. They lack to see what they can learn from you even if the picture is smaller.
I enjoy your videos and the energy you maintain by eating right excerise and discipline.
You are honest , amazing, and inspiring. ❤
Your pup is the happiest little creature on earth!
Happy new year.
Sweet Lauren,thank you , thank you , thank you.for today's video.This was the best way to bring in the New Year 2025. There has been way to much negativity in this world.Im 73 years old and have seen way to much of that and hate. I have to say I have a few very favorite TH-cam channels that I look forward to,and you are one of them. You are down to earth real life lady.Who cares for your family so very much. As old as I am.I am always open to learning more. Thank you so much for sharing your video and the knowledge of life's lesson.🙂 Many Blessings for you and your family in the New Year.🎉
Thank you so much - this means a lot to me!
Anybody else feel like you were sitting on your bed with a bowl of popcorn and your mom comes in & says honey we need to talk…. lol 😂 I LOVE a good pep talk that snaps me into shape and motivates me. Thanks Lauren!
I also still think in that front room you should try turning table in front of the fireplace and where the table is now a little cafe sitting nook. It’s hard to tell on screen if it would fit but anyways happy New Year Lauren, we love your channel! ❤
AMEN to you on your soapbox!!!❤ my mother always taught me that if you can say nothing good/nice, then you should not say anything at all. You don't know that person's circumstances. You never know what's going on behind someone's doors. Me I've recently gone back to work after staying home for 18 years. It's only part-time, but it's a big adjustment, and my family is so very supportive and helpful ❤
Wish there was a love button. Like isn’t enough. Thanks for the inspiration! HNY!!!
Lauren, I absolutely love watching your videos. You absolutely teach us so much about everything. Your recipes and how to cook everything are so informative.
I so look forward to watching and learning from you. I think that you are amazing to make all these home-cooked wonderful meals for your family. Because, you work a full-time job, you run a household, as well as have to care for your husband and four children. Plus all the love you give all your animals and foster all the kittens and cats. You even have a lovely garden. You do so much and you focus on your family 100%. Your admirable, hard-working, and very entertaining. Your decorating is incredible.❤️🥰🙏🏼❤️🥰 I feel so blessed that I came across your videos all those years ago and have loved them ever since.
Hi Lauren, I just recently found your channel, totally loving your content. I have seriously never found someone on here who loves planning, listing and blocking! You have been teaching me so much, thank you. I also find your voice and music soothing and relaxing. I’m also a doggie and chicken Momma, kids are grown but recently became a grandma, best thing next to my life while raising my children! Anyway, here in Arizona, we are fortunate to have 2 growing seasons. My garden is mostly herbs and peppers (still trying to figure out other veggies, lol.) Many herbs are perennials, so I never have to take them out. Others, like cilantro and dill, are heat sensitive so only winter garden for me. Not sure what your zone is in Napa, but you may have the benefits of some perennial herbs. 😊💗
❤Yes! To sharing positivity and kindness and support! Love you and this community! Your channel gives me joy and peace and comfort during my day!! Thank you! ❤
What a great “soapbox” (your words) suggestion - to be kind! Will order the planner! Think I will really use the information provided. Happy New Year, Kid!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you supporting Productivity Prism!
I just switched my Christmas tree to a valentine tree - first time ever doing it. And I LOVE it. Highly recommend! My kids love it too!
I had done that for many years when my boys were little. ❤When you have boys you especially need to find ways to connect with them! Decorating the house for all the holidays are something that helped us connect! Now they're bigger but still enjoy coming home from college to enjoy the family and decor
I love that!
@LaurenNicholsen The boy's loved all the holidays but they especially loved spooky 👻 Halloween 🎃! My family is creative, but my husband never learned to be creative ! So we got married and he followed my lead! He's very creative just in different ways! He builds things for the house 🏠 and our landscaping in the front of the house and the backyard. 🙏🏻✨️💓🪻🌻🪻Lauren , you're doing a great 👍🏻 job!
I am 56 years and with my husband until almost 3 years ago. I always wanted to make goals and dreams and plan for the year ahead. He lasts said that going through that process is a waste of time. Our marriage has failed and I have been floundering for the past few years because I allowed this man who was suppose to love not live according to my values. This is going to be my year to start fresh, set goals and plan my life. Thank you for this Lauren you are lovely and a great role model.
Thank you for sharing! I am 40 this week and currently in nursing school, as it was my life goal. It's my second big career, so I was nervous but so glad I made the choice to be uncomfortable with something new for a while to help provide for my family. You handled the negative comments with grace!
I feel like you’re having an Ina Garten moment in your career! You should read or listen to her memoir, it’s so inspiring and adorable. I’ve absolutely been loving it to kick off the new year! Love your positivity Lauren!
I appreciate you sharing loads of laundry, clean up of Christmas decorations, and how much work it really is.... Your hardworking woman. So relatable and real. Thank you for inspiring videos.
What a fun 2025 video!! Excited for you! Lots of change and love the words of encouragement! ♥️
Well done! I rearly comment, but I had to pull out the tiny phone to share with you this...I'm 64 and have been with you from the start, when the kids were being homeschooling because of the Covid. I began watching to see if there were tips for my daughter with 5 children (the bento lunch boxes were a big win) and tgat was just 1 of many wins. Along the way I learned for myself as well. You my dear have truly made a difference in these two households; impact. This video is will be a gamechanger for many. It all boils down to what's important -vs- time management. The tools you've shared are vital to have the ability and mindset to do just that. I love your content, but this video is so very valuable...share it friends. Love, Diana in Reno.
Awesome video! I'm 43 and this spring I'm starting classes to work towards earning my bachelor's degree. This was one of my 2025 goals, and I'm motivated to see it through, thanks to women like you.
Kindness 2025! Love it!
I was working as a legal secretary once our youngest went to kindergarten. My husband encouraged me to get uncomfortable and go to college then law school at age 40. I did that and so glad I did. My husband died unexpectedly last year before he could even retire. He just turned 60 and was working still. I can grieve but not also worry about supporting myself. Always keep that in mind as we age. Can we support ourselves if one spouse goes. Of course, I’d recommend life insurance and a will. We did neither, thinking it will never happen to us.
I live in FL and my sister lives in AZ. We are going to travel to the Napa Vally. I’ve been to LA and San Diego but I am so excited to visit northern Cali in January 2025 ❤
I'm so sorry about your Husband. 😢 prayers sent your way. You are correct though, we never think it is going to happen to us. I will be putting that in my goals, If I lost my husband, I wouldn't be able to live in our house on my own. Thank you for your comment, I'm very sorry for your loss.
Bravo Lauren! Let the words for 2025 be POSITIVITY and KINDNESS! You put yourself out there for us on a regular basis and deserve some respect and admiration. Love your Annual Planning Program! I'm saying a prayer for you to find happiness and challenge in your new employment. ☺️💗
Thank you!!
I’m 64 years old with an open heart and mind. You have taught me so much in this video. I always scoffed at goal setting because I thought it was too complicated. I didn’t think of the small things as goals. You’ve made me rethink that. Thank you.
I so needed to be reminded of all of this Lauren- thank you! Keeping focus on high level goals and core values is so crucial, and it's easy to stray if you don't stay focused. Thank you for the reminder and the wonderful tips. Maybe your next career should be life coach ❤
Lauren if your name is not on her loans you DO NOT have to pay them. I learned this upon my father’s death and they came for me. They weren’t happy but they accepted it and took the loss. It’s the law. Don’t let them tell you different
This is so true! When my Mother passed in 2022, I suddenly was being contacted regarding some debt she had. Ridiculous, I confirmed with a lawyer and NOPE, you are NOT responsible!
Absolutely true... If your name is not on the loan you do not have to pay however depending what the loan was for, i.e., a car, it could be repossed although most companies just show it as a loss and I'm sure get a tax writeoff. Now, let me say this was probably one of your best postings. I am glad you took on dealing with negative comments. These people do it to get attention and try to push peoples buttons. Very sad people indeed. Clearly if it was a normal person, there is so much on You Tube to get involved with other sites, MOVE ON! There is no need to be negative and those of us that love your channel do not want to hear it! I don't know if it is jealousy or what but there is no place for it on your channel and thank you for commenting on it! I am excited for you and what your future holds. I also am enjoying your new format and am excited to make some changes in my own life. I am 69 so hearing you talk about still making goals at 90 motivated me to take on making goals for myself and I thank you for that. You are an inspiration to all of us. You radiate class and have the best decorating style. I will be watching and thank you again!
You are not responsible personally, however, the deceased person's estate is. This is what I have been told. If you know otherwise, please let me know.
Oh my! I will talk to our trustee. It is on her mortgages.
Lauren, If after talking to the Trustee if their explanation just doesn't make sense / doesn't seem correct, might want to check with a Lawyer who specializes in Real Estate Law. There are so many errors today, best to go start to a professional for the correct procedures and options.
I would think if you and your siblings were not on the mortgages and you do not want to retain property through the inheritance process (per her Will; if it states real estate / property (s) is to be divided amongst my children), that some of the property's could be sold and those funds used to pay off the mortgages / property that you (or all your siblings) may want to KEEP (and continue to rent out).....I lost my Mother too unexpectedly in 2012. However, I was older age 52 and she had just turned a young 76. It gets easier each year.....
I love your videos Lauren. Thank you for being yourself and being true to your beliefs. You’re putting it all out there to help anyone that wants to listen and just maybe say ~I chose to watch this to make my day better in some way or learn something or smile at a fluffy cat on a pile of laundry. ❤
girl I have been wondering when you were gonna put that out there.youtube is not a place to be negative.we are all human and the struggle is real especially these days.we should ban together and help each other.i just love your videos you are the strongest person.Im a stay at home mom my daughter is almost thirteen so yeah the college days are coming😢 thank you for being so positive
Thank you for being here and let this be a positive place where we can get our kids up and into the world as good and kind people!
Idk why this video hit different 💖🙏🏼 I loved it and it lit a fire ..I want to be able to help my kids with their education, wedding and starting their homes too 🙏🏼
Aiming for 2025 be the year of discipline for me
We can do it together!
I agree about the negative comments - when we first got married - before we even had thoughts about kids - we went to ToysRUs to buy a board game for ourselves for the holidays. There was an older man behind us in the checkout line and he said his kids loved that game and was it for our kids. We said that it was for us for Christmas and he just went off - saying we shouldn't be buying any games and what were we even doing in the store if we don't have kids (granted he was alone and at least 20 years older than us!). We just didn't respond and got out of there as quickly as possible. That always stuck with me and now I think what a negative person he must have been to be around for his family. But - it did ruin our day having someone be so mean out of the blue without even knowing us. I think unhappy people just don't like to see other people happy and they need our prayers. PS - love the new intro graphics on your videos - very nice!
I’m so impressed with your dedication to your goals and the direction you are working towards your family and values and your honesty ❤️🙏
Omg Henry doing laundry! Managing those piles. I bet Pepe would be so jealous. He definitely wants to be put on the values list AT THE TOP ! He's so cute running around the house. I love seeing him and all the pets making their way into each video.
Lauren, yours is the only channel of its kind that I watch because you always motivate and teach me something new! I hope you have an incredible, joyful, restful, goal-tackling 2025!! ❤🎉
Thank you!! You are such an inspiration for me for organizing, cleaning, self care, cooking, etc! Happy New Year!! Hello to all the cutie kitties, fury and feathery friends too!❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
YES, please and thank you. . .keep the judgement to yourself. There are soooo many folks on TH-cam that align with everyone's thoughts and opinions. . .follow them!
Lauren, you are such an inspiring lady and I have been a subscriber for years now because we have the same decorating style and from what I can tell the same values! I want to let you know you are such a remarkable person with such grace to juggle so many irons in the fire! Thank you for sharing all of this and Amy’s planner looks like it is right up my alley! Keep up the good and hard work, you’re doing a fantastic job! ❤❤❤❤
Excellent soap box moment. Well said. Agree. Love it. Thank you. I'm so tired of the negative ninny's. Kindness please. Lets lift eachother up, its so much easier to love one another than the alternative. Love & peace y'all...lets do that...
Hi Lauren. I loved this video! I just had my fourth child last week and have been binging on your videos. My little newborn daughter loves the sound of your voice and falls asleep every time I put one of your videos on. I hope you had a lovely new year.
Oh Lauren, you are killing me. We won’t see spring here where I live in Idaho until the first part of May. I take down Christmas and leave up a lot of it that works for winter. I love it that you’ll always have goals. I’m about 20 years older than you and I still have goals different than I had 20 years ago but still things I want to accomplish or learn or just enjoy. My word for this year is peace, and that is worked in throughout my goals. Thanks for this video and everyone you do. It brings me joy and inspiration each time. Hugs❤
I hear you!! No spring for a while!! 💕
I’m a bit behind you but have a big career, big family goals and a working household. The truth bombs in this video are giving me life. The way you have family and career goals is a true inspiration. Thank you for continuing to post.
Thank you for your videos. They bring me such joy during a very trying time in my life. ❤️
Happy 2025 Lauren can not wait to see what your channel holds🥰
I've been watching you for three years now. I so needed this encouraging video today. Thank you so much....
Wonderful video! Great tips & ideas! Yes, in 100 percent agreement - might 2025 be the year of no negativity! ❤
Right! We all have the choice to be kind or be quiet.
I am here for your soapbox moment! Also, I was shocked yesterday when my husband told me we should just keep the tree up and decorate it for each season. I think I he is coming around to my way of thinking! 😂 Wonderful video. I just love your content and I am definitely paying attention to your advice about scheduling my life. New habits, organization, and positivity!
I’m so grateful that you’ve shared your methods for productivity and planning. You provided so much detail on planning for the future in detail. When you discussed your desires and how to 10X that goal more rapidly if possible 👏🏽🙌🏽.
Changing careers, pausing to evaluate etc. Thank you for being our internet 🛜 bestie 😊
Prayers for God’s perfect will for you Lauren ❤🙏 You are Amazing!
Lauren, please write a book to your grandchildren on life advice; but please publish it for the world to partake of, too!
Thank you for your boldness to tell it like it is on negativity!
I heard this quote that is so good-
“Be kind for everyone is going through something you know nothing about”. With several chronic pain conditions and chronic fatigue mostly couch and bedbound has made me -an already thoughtful person-very humble to not judge anyone. I also think of it this way. Not to excuse anyone who says mean comments but people who leave comments like that are not happy and are projecting that onto others. Again not to excuse their behavior but it helps me deal with people like that. Almost feel bad for them to not get angry about it. Thank you for your motivating videos that I need so much!
-Elizabeth (45)
Love this video so much Lauren, wonderful content! I use some of your same principles and I came to the realization a few months ago that it was time to retire and gave a 12 month notice (only 6 months till retirement!). I love my job and the company I work for but I realized I am no longer able to take care of my home and family the way I want while continuing to work. It was a hard decision but I told myself “hey girl, you’re 71 and have been working since you were 16, you’ve made someone else’s coffee long enough”. Thank you for always being so honest and transparent.
This was such a great, and much needed guidance. Thank you !! And happy new year 😊
Omg Lauren I don’t comment on your videos much but I watch them all the time I have to comment on this one girl you are amazing thank you for all your inspiration and insight your mom is looking down on you I’m sure she is very proud keep the videos coming !!!
I love your videos so much, Lauren! You inspire so many of us❤...and I loved your soapbox moment. Putting other people down to lift yourself up is not the move in 2025! 😂
Wow! I am a 66 year old retired Canadian clerical worker. I never felt that I had a career, I had a job. It was something that I didn't love, I tolerated it, always wishing to be at home raising our daughters. My job allowed us (my husband and I) to keep a roof over our heads and food in the fridge. Our daughters are grown women with husbands and children of their own and we are very proud of how wonderful they are. Unfortunately they too all have to be working moms to help keep the food in thd fridge and a roof over their heads. I have many regrets in life and now that we have more life behind us than ahead of us it's come to the point of do it or forget it. There are obstacles..... health issues and money being at the top of the list, so planning and determination are key to getting a few needs, wants and wishes accomplished. Your planning guide feels a overwhelming to me, but your advice is very inspiring, so thank you! Good Luck to you as you journey through 2025. Happy New Year!
Lauren, I've been watching and enjoying your videos for years and I think this is my favorite. I loved how you simplified the goal and planning process and also made it so personal. You are an AMAZING cook and I love how you honor your Mom with the delicious recipes you share. Also thank you for being a kind, good human. Best of luck in this New Year.
The way you put this is BRILLIANT! I’m certain many of us, myself included, needed to learn this broken down… the priority, values, etc. logic. Thank you for believing in yourself & educating us!! And yell it from the rooftops!! 🗣️🎤 World needs more kindness ❤ Happy New Year, Lauren. Looking forward to watching your future endeavours!!
Yess!!!!!
I love this video, your frank talk about goals and just, can we be nice or be quiet “soapbox” comments, I just love it all. I’m keeping this to refer back to and motivate me to “backward plan” from my goals to my actionable steps… Thank you for the honest and heartfelt talk today.
You're lovely, Lauren. I truly appreciate and agree with your message. Hope you have a great week. 😊🩷
I have watched you for quite a few years. Maybe from the beginning (not 100%sure).
The advice and insight that you just shared literally blew me away! I'm in a good place in my life, but that hasn't always been the case. I lost both of my children (only children) within 5 years of each other.
I have struggled and pushed through some of the worst times in my life because of these losses.
You lose your identity ( if I'm not mom, who am I). You're positivity is what I strive for daily! I try so hard not to judge others and to always know that as bad as I've had it there are others that have had it so much worse.
Long story short, if people like me and others like me can push through life and make something of this situation we've been dealt than why can't everyone do that?
You are your own person and ultimately you choose the path you want to be on.
In my opinion you're an awesome person inside and out! God bless you and your family!!
And to those who find negativity in things no one is forcing them to do...MOVE ON AND FIND WHAT TRULY MAKES YOU HAPPY IS 100% TRUTH!!!❤️ ❤️
Happy New Year Lauren 🎉 Love this video! You pleasantly motivated me today 💗
Your channel is always on my to do list for my mid mornings!!🎉😊😅😊🎉
Wishing you and your family a prosperous New Year and please keep bringing us such beautiful content! This is my favorite video, thank you for your wise words.✝️🙏❤
Well said Lauren! I agree 💯 with you 👏🏻
Hi Lauren, I agree absolutely with you that negative comments are not needed, life is just too short. I did not see the link for your yummy dinner. Love that Pepe! 😊
It's on my last video! I linked them all!
@@LaurenNicholsen Thanks, I will go back and get!
Thank you, Lauren. I really needed this. I am starting the new year with learning how to budget and take control of my finances instead of them controlling me. I watched about a third of your video, paused, rewound, picked up a notebook, pushed play, and started writing down what you were saying, from Goalz to Frame work ......to the Plan. You are such a inspiration to my soul. I appreciate you. Happy New Year.🎉
I look forward to all of your videos, but I think this was my favorite. Thank you, for opening my eyes to things that we don’t usually think about. You are amazing. Thank you ❤
Love the reminder to figure out priorities, appreciate the time you have available to you, and the discipline and sacrifice that will be required. No regrets at the end of life (whenever that may be) ❤
P.S. I love that you say you are so proud of yourself when you accomplish something! I’m going to adopt that and tell myself that I am proud of me!! What a wonderful way to cheer ourselves on and recognize our accomplishments. We don’t need someone else to fill that cup, we can do it for ourselves. You are a ray of sunshine ☀️
Yes! We got this!!!
Lauren you’re so pretty I think you need your own cooking show. It would be right up your alley. Your great at it and seem to enjoy it😊❤
Thank you so much!!! Maybe one day!!
I love you and how honest you are! I look forward to your videos they always get me going. I hope that 2025 can be a more positive year for everyone!
Lauren this was extremely beneficial and just what I needed to hear! I love the idea of focusing on my values and being intentional about your routines to reflect those values! ❤❤❤
You are such an inspiration Lauren! I feel you have such a talent for teaching other women about achieving their life goals, whatever that may be. I feel your talents will be better utilized by breaking out on your own and expanding all your talents! I can’t wait to see what you bring to your channel for 2025!
Thank you so much! I am excited to see what's next!
Been here for years and really love and look forward to your content! Thank you - love this video - would really love a complete breakdown on your method with monthly, weekly, daily schedule. Just bought a meal and week schedule and let me just say, it’s way too small! 😂 love ya! Hugs from Denmark 🇩🇰
Lauren, thank you for keeping it real. Loved the way you pulled up ur chair to reach the top of the window. ☺️❤️ Amazing voice over. Thank you.
What an inspirational video! Thank you! Hope you, your kiddos and your animal family have a blessed 2025❣️
Excellent session. Thank you so much! Organization is my goal. Giving myself time for exercise is a prime goal.
Thank you for charing your thoughts and your days with us. I truly appreciate you and you inspire me in the best ways. I also love to plan and having my days/weeks all planned out. So I really enjoy when others share their different ways.
I got back to school (university) when I was 49. I went from an assistant nurse to become a vocational teacher in healthcare. (I finished at 51.) So what I am getting at is that it’s never too late!
Best of luck with your future work plans! 🍀
By the way, in Sweden where I live, we are far from spring! We just got weather warnings about heavy snowfall. I love winter and snow, which helps! 😄 We usually expect spring in april.
Take care. ❤
