1) Have a bedtime 0:34 2) Connect to people through acts of kindness 3:00 3) Prepare meal plans 5:12 4) Resist snoozing 7:13 5) Be more intentional with your phone 9:44 6) Listen to upbeat music 12:02 7) Switch out coffee for tea 13:53 I always find time stamps to be so helpful with videos so that’s my way of paying it forward (also to my future self when I need to have a quick reminder!)
I pay forward with a passion. Many people are preoccupied with their busy lives so they miss out on how it feels when the smile you give, comes back to you. It's the small gestures that count. 🤗
I agree. I taught junior high, high school, adult education, in a maximum security men's prison, and college for 43 years. I did a lot of free tutoring and still do some. Last week, one of my former students contacted me to go to dinner. She was in tears thanking me for helping her through college 7 years ago. She also contacted my favorite professor and got him to write a short message in the book he had authored. I had given her the book to use for class, and I had forgotten about it. She said she would be forever grateful to me for my kindness and patience. My dad always told us that God created each of us to help our fellow man (woman). That's what brings me joy.
Hearing that it’s hard for other people to get out of bed, but they just make themselves is really lifechanging advice for me. I think I was under the impression that morning people enjoyed getting up early. It puts me in the mindset that if other people can force themselves to get up, I can too
I am in my 60s and have not used an alarm in years. I am usually in bed by 10:30 at night and my body naturally wakes between 6 and 7 in the morning. Love all of your helpful ideas. I am with you on the coffee thing. I think because of my age I am not tied to my phone so that is not a problem for me. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas.
Lol, I'm binge watching your entire channel, had to stop an older video of yours for this one 🙃. I love your content! The clean kitchen sink is something I do now everyday, and it indeed works! Many more spots in my home get cleaner and cleaner, yay!
Wow, how funny, my memory verse for this week- "Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." Phil. 2:4 So cool, and I agree, pay it forward.
I have to tell you my favorite pay it forward moment. I had the day off so I set about my errands, grocery shopping was on the list so I'm standing at the check out with a basket full. I looked behind me and there was a guy with like 3 or 4 things in his hands, I asked him Is that all you have? I then told him he could go before me. He kind of looked surprised and said thank you. After he checked out and payed he turned and said thank you, you just saved my entire day, my son has a field trip at school and I forgot his lunch. You are right Kallie, I felt so good about that small little gesture that didn't take any time away from my day but was very important to that person. I am a relatively new Sub and I am loving your channel, thank you.
A while back a very close friend sent me a small poster that that noted many things that will improve yourself, your life, and the lives of others. One thing mentioned was to pay it forward. Now, I have always tried to do this but now I really try to do something kind for someone every day. I keep the poster by my bed and look at it frequently. Where did my friend get the poster? It was the back of a cereal box!
Re music and mood: I have discovered the “fountain of youth”! Listen (and dance, and sing if you want) to the music of your teen years through your twenties. For me that’s 1969 through 1989.
I live in Portlandia, so I can’t/won’t give up coffee, but I definitely focus on living out the Golden Rule. Every little chance I get, I help others, even if it’s only to give a haggard store clerk a smile. I remember being so down years ago, that a smile from a stranger felt precious, and I cherished them.
Hoping you share those playlist all of us could use ideas on feel-good music. Love your content as you know from seeing my name I'm sure thanks so much take care stay safe and continue to be blessed
I am constantly losing or breaking my phone, so when I am without phone, I have noticed that I accomplish so much more and get a lot more detailed cleaning done.
Thank you I love that song "Worth It" I think it's appropriate. When we are overwhelmed by the mess we forget to tell ourselves we are worth it because it makes us feel better
My husband had to go to a different city today for work. He usually drops one kid to school and I drop the other one (different schools). So tomorrow morning is gonna be hard. So, I decided to make a list of everything we will have for school and work lunch, snacks and supper and prepare our clothes for the next day.I already know it's gonna make my life so much easier. One thing I also started doing is cleaning my dishes before going to bed and it feels so good in the morning to wake up to a clean kitchen so thank you 😊
Avoidance is definitely what exponentially increases my phone use. Oh, I'll just finish reading this article and then I will do the dishes; next thing I know, it's been an hour since I said that. 😬
Would have loved a download for your upbeat music! I watch most of your video’s and they make a lot of common sense. Keep up the good work and your children are adorable and blessed to have a mommy like you. Enjoy your day👍
Hello from Ireland!!! I Cannot thank you enough for these tips! I have started meal planning ( i should have been doing it as a chef anyway! ) but it has given me and my hubby back so much time!! saving money on our grocery billl too. We have 2 kids under 2 and it has been tough with postnatal depression too, I now feel like im getting my life back! :)
I already do most of these things, thankfully! Working from home on devices for a good portion of last year made me realize how much I did NOT want to be on my devices. With going back to college and working full time, I get plenty of computer time. I have fallen into that bad habit again and need to stop. With nearly grown sons going every direction, I make sure I am intentional in the time we do have together. Extended family dynamics have changed, so making those a priority when possible is important, too. So little time and so much to do! I am trying to get back into the habit of doing the dishes every night and hoping that spills over into other areas, too. This time change has not been kind either. I am ready for spring!
Hey there🙋🏼♀️, I use a clock radio for my wake-up alarm. It’s going to take a minute to discover the station that consistently plays zen, calm wake up music but it makes a huge difference and I usually did not want to press snooze because of the great music. The other plus is your device should be off, and you have now successfully been device free for at least 8 hours and hopefully you can get through the breakfast rush without turning it on. That’s a beautiful thing ☮️💟🪴
I’m trying hard to de clutter and keep things kind of clean and tidied up. You - as a young un- are so inspiring! I wish I would have found you 40 years ago!!! 😂
Kallie, I wanted to recommend the book, "Go Together" by Shola Richards too. He talks all about Ubuntu as well and it's such a real interpretation of why "I am because we are" means so very much! Love your content, you're amazing!
Love the candid dancing footage, awww. Good tips, the morning and night routine are always so difficult for me but I'll just think of you as a good example!
I cracked me up to see the look on your dog’s face when you were dancing with your daughter. He/she looked like a teenager who was mortified by his parents - believe me, my teen gives me that look quite often, which makes me only want to do it more. Share the playlist if you get a chance - music does lift you up. I listen to the same song every morning while making my bed. It’s made a mundane/hated chore quite enjoyable. Great tweaks! ~ Linda
Wow, what an incredibly thoughtful, beautiful and articulate human you are❣ Your insight is wise and your descriptions make what sometimes seem like insurmountable tasks, possible (coming from a lifelong we'll just say "collector" of Everything)😌🤫 Thank you, all of your videos are Great😊❣🌷
One of my pet peeves is when people are on the phone while checking out, like the person ringing them up is invisible or beneath acknowledgement. I always try to greet people, give a smile .
I love your videos! I especially loved the last tweak. 🤣🤣 I do need to have a set bedtime. I’m retired so I’ve just been going to bed when I feel like it but most the time wake up early so I only get about 5-6 hours maybe. I feel horrible in the mornings. I’m one with migraines, sinus issues, a few other health related things so it’s really hard when I don’t get enough sleep. I love music! I should have thought of that back when I had my kids. I listen to music all the time. My biggest problem at night is scrolling on my phone. Ugh! I need to leave it in another room or something but I don’t. 😩
I’m not kidding, I would hit snooze for 30-35 minutes in the morning. Then I started putting my phone across the room so I was forced to stand up and get in the morning. Life changing!!!
I have learnt so much about the Circadian Code by Dr. Satchidananda Panda - I didn't realise how little tweaks, as you say can make a huge difference to your overall quality of life. It is well worth a listen (I had is on Audible, and listen to a few minutes/chapter at a time) or read. All backed up by peer reviewed studies and scientific rigor! Thank you Kallie for another inciteful video. Many Blessings x x x
Using music as a mood changer is an awesome idea. I feel like putting on some good tunes will help during that inevitable 3pm slump. Also did anyone else notice Kallie scheduled in a “Bender” into her calendar. 😝 I’m sure it’s something else and not really a bender but it made me chuckle.
Love your channel! I didn't see a link to your upbeat music Playlist. I was really hoping to see this as music gets me moving and motivated too! Can you help me out?
Hello! Each one you talked about, & with very good points to promote a better me/us, is so true. 👍 I have found them a BIG positive in my journey. And, I told myself, I have put each one into my day-by-day living. HOWEVER, you reminded me today that 2 of them have not been consistent. 😲😕 So thank you 4 the wake up. I am very thankful that you included the pay-it-forward. Thinking & giving outside of ourselves. Priceless! 😊💕
1. I always had a wake up time which only changed when I retired. 2. I am a RN kindness is my normal nature. I give extra large tips at restaurants especially cheap restaurants. 3. We meal plan and also use meal kits Hello Fresh (which my husband cooks). 4. Never hit the snooze button but take my meds before getting out of bed . 5. I try to use my ipad after my daily tasks are compete. I do use some organizing apps. And I don’t gab or text unless needed. 6. Not a music lover. I knit and absolutely love knitting my own designs. It helps my heart. 7. I only drink green tea. I use a 12 hr cold cup which is awesome.
Kelly, please stay out of my bedroom. You were speaking directly to me about the snooze button. I have been sufficiently reprimanded and will do my best each day to hear this video in my brain when that alarm goes off. 😄
In regards to a set bedtime. I have a general idea. What helps me to go to bed earlier is to dim/turn off many lights in my apartment around 8pm. This allows my eyes and brain to adjust for sleep (Even if I am still on my computer and other devices). I also start taking my Evening meds then. I ACTUALLY SCHEDULE THIS ON MY calendar so that I get reminders.
I once heard hitting Snooze meaning your first choice is not doing what you told yourself you would do. This hit home for me. Now I only snooze alarm I set to remind me I soon need to get to work, instead of several reminders. To keep Track of time, not sleep more. Anyways many great tips. Though I think I’ll keep coffee as regular morning etc drink and tea for chill time.
to get out of bed easier, earlier, etc. remember what one elderly customer said to me one day. "Thank you, --------, that I awoke this morning! this privilege was not experienced by 100s of 1000s of people this morning! now I have a chance to have another day and try to do it better and better in so many ways!"
Kallie! Thank you for your videos!! Allow me to introduce myself. I am Lisa, a very anxious to improve my life student of yours! I have been binge watching you for several weeks. I am Changing my Mindset about my clutter! Yay! I just Must share with you....I found a pair of 'chunky boots' at Goodwill right after you talked about yours...lol...Love them! Found a $3 nice drawer organizer; ready to declutter my kitchen junk drawer! Nervous about purging my clothes. Yes, a little 15 minute timer at a time! Thank you, Kallie! ❤️
That whole going to bed at the same time - my circadian rhythm isn’t having it. I go to bed at 11 pm and at 4 am I’m yelling at myself (inside my head of course - don’t want to wake up the doggies) SLEEEEP. Am I the only one, who can’t fix my daily rhythm?
I can't seem to find a set schedule even though I had to get up every day anywhere from 4:40 am - 6:30 am (depending upon my job schedule) for 43 years. I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP, but my schedule is all over the place. Sometimes I am eating breakfast at 3 pm to 7 pm, staying awake all night (not by choice) and going to bed at 5 pm the next day. I was even taking prescription sleep medication for several years about a decade ago. Nothing helps!
Thanks for the reminder about the phone. I know I need to be more present in my families lives. I love music and agree it can be a game changer. One upbeat song I really like is "the sound of the sunshine" by Michael Franti. It's so happy and upbeat, I just smile constantly shaking my bum lol.
Love love your channel!! So good.. so much GREAT information..even if it does not pertain to me (ie: babies-mine are grown🥳) I watch every one. Enjoy so much! Wonder if you could do a video on your journey from vegetarian to non? I would be so interested to see your motivation. I have been vegan for 20 years and recently changed…so I’m curious about your evolution. Thanks for a great video!!
I just don't snooze....I wake up between 3 and 6 a.m. and my day is on....now, the hubs...well.....not so much. I can affirm the playlist theory. I was a single parent for years and on weekends our chores had to be done before we could play. I'd put on my favorites and we got it done. To this day, my son cleans his home listening to Cat Stevens. When I walk I take purposeful music with a beat...and before you know it my 4 miles are done. Now, I don't meal plan...I've a habit of only buying (every 3-4 weeks) what my family will eat then in the morning I shop my freezer for dinner.
The concepts you talked about in your second suggestion remind me a lot of the teachings of Jesus. He was passionate about treating others with kindness. He saw every person as equal. The world would definitely be different if we all saw each other as human beings.
The phone is definitely my weakness. I ended up being a SAHM not by choice after an international move, and it makes me feel less lonely and more connected to family, friends, and other adults in general. I'm trying to be better in being more intentional with the phone, and also with the kids while putting the phone down, especially since my 6yo pointed out how much I use it 😔
I literally here your voice in the morning when my alarm goes off saying, “When have you ever felt better and more refreshed after hitting that snooze button?” 😂
I checked out your play list, lots of duplicates from mine😊 recommend to to add girl on fire Alicia Keys, Blinding lights by the weekend and bad habits by Ed sheeran 👍
1) Have a bedtime 0:34
2) Connect to people through acts of kindness 3:00
3) Prepare meal plans 5:12
4) Resist snoozing 7:13
5) Be more intentional with your phone 9:44
6) Listen to upbeat music 12:02
7) Switch out coffee for tea 13:53
I always find time stamps to be so helpful with videos so that’s my way of paying it forward (also to my future self when I need to have a quick reminder!)
Thank you ❤️😊🙏
Thank you! This is very appreciated! 🙂
Thank you
I usually absorb written information better and your timestamps work as a perfect general summary. So, I appreciate it!
Thank you!!
It's pronounced OOh-boon-too. It's from my language, isiZulu. It's also used in many Bantu languages in Africa. Lovely video and valuable tips.
Was scrolling to see if anyone helped her with that. Hey my fellow South African 🌟♥️
Hey fellow south african 🇿🇦

That was me last weekkk! You will get up to speeedd!
Yay 😀 👏🏻 my whole smart goals group made this goal too! We double up & clean together. We are also reading Atomic Habits together! On chapter 6!
Me too!! P.s. love the green nail polish! 😘
Me too

I do that often and love the look of surprise on the faces of the people I am nice to.
Re music and mood: I have discovered the “fountain of youth”! Listen (and dance, and sing if you want) to the music of your teen years through your twenties. For me that’s 1969 through
1989.
So true!! Brings back a more carefree/simpler time in my life, even though I’m ok with where I am today. Nice to have good memories pop up too.
I live in Portlandia, so I can’t/won’t give up coffee, but I definitely focus on living out the Golden Rule.
Every little chance I get, I help others, even if it’s only to give a haggard store clerk a smile.
I remember being so down years ago, that a smile from a stranger felt precious, and I cherished them.
It’s a golden rule…love never fails…showing compassion to others is how we should be…value in everyone.thank you for the reminders.
Hoping you share those playlist all of us could use ideas on feel-good music. Love your content as you know from seeing my name I'm sure thanks so much take care stay safe and continue to be blessed
Me too!!!!
Ditto!
Yes, please!
Me too!
I am constantly losing or breaking my phone, so when I am without phone, I have noticed that I accomplish so much more and get a lot more detailed cleaning done.
You’re not the only one who discuss this things in TH-cam, but it counts to be very clear straight forward… that’s why i enjoy your videos!👍🏻♥️
Thank you I love that song "Worth It" I think it's appropriate. When we are overwhelmed by the mess we forget to tell ourselves we are worth it because it makes us feel better

Snooze time is morning cuddle time that I cherish every day.
I love the phone use: intentional or out of boredom (or, may I add, avoidance).
Avoidance is definitely what exponentially increases my phone use. Oh, I'll just finish reading this article and then I will do the dishes; next thing I know, it's been an hour since I said that. 😬
Would have loved a download for your upbeat music! I watch most of your video’s and they make a lot of common sense. Keep up the good work and your children are adorable and blessed to have a mommy like you. Enjoy your day👍
Hello from Ireland!!! I Cannot thank you enough for these tips! I have started meal planning ( i should have been doing it as a chef anyway! ) but it has given me and my hubby back so much time!! saving money on our grocery billl too. We have 2 kids under 2 and it has been tough with postnatal depression too, I now feel like im getting my life back! :)
On a completely random note, your makeup looks flawless - would love a new tutorial video!

The spring nails!!! So worth watching the video just to see the nails!
I would love to hear your playlist. Is it something you can share?
I would as well. I can’t seem to find the link or shared title.
Yup me too
I’m trying hard to de clutter and keep things kind of clean and tidied up. You - as a young un- are so inspiring! I wish I would have found you 40 years ago!!! 😂
Kallie, I wanted to recommend the book, "Go Together" by Shola Richards too. He talks all about Ubuntu as well and it's such a real interpretation of why "I am because we are" means so very much! Love your content, you're amazing!
I also did a vegetarian 🌱 stint for a while; and upgraded to organic/natural and grass-fed meats. Quality makes a HUGE difference!
I always go to sleep at the same time every night. Helps with migraines.
I absolutely appreciate you and love your channel!! 👏🏻☕😄 Hope you have a wonderful day!
“The more you respect others, the more you respect yourself” - this and vise versa are so true! You can’t love others and throw yourself under the bus
A consistent night time routine and bed time really helps with making tomorrow a better day!
Loved the coffee/tea joke at the end. I’m with you, girl!😂
Thank you, Very good advise‼️I couldn’t find your music play list😕. Stay safe & well ❣️
Love your videos Kallie!
Love the candid dancing footage, awww. Good tips, the morning and night routine are always so difficult for me but I'll just think of you as a good example!
I had to rewind #7! 😳 I was like "wait, what?" ... And had the BEST laugh! ❤Great tips!!😁
I would love to see a car organization hacks video!!!

As a South African it's wonderful to see you talk about Ubuntu.
I've only recently learned about it but it's so beautiful! I want to learn more. I bought my son a children's book on it for Easter!
So true about the music! And I do forget that sometimes that it can really lift you up! I'd love to see some of your playlists!
I really enjoy your videos!

I am generous with my tipping and charitable giving. I am a believer in "there but for the grace of god, go I" even though I'm an atheist.
So refreshing to hear a Connecticut non-accent! Been in Maine wayyy too long!
Good advice, funny humor
Great play list
Olive have her own couch!🥰 Thank you for the playlist! Enough sleep 7-8 hours is a good thing, sleep for sanity.
Great video!
Kelly, please stay out of my bedroom. You were speaking directly to me about the snooze button. I have been sufficiently reprimanded and will do my best each day to hear this video in my brain when that alarm goes off. 😄
In regards to a set bedtime. I have a general idea.

I once heard hitting Snooze meaning your first choice is not doing what you told yourself you would do. This hit home for me. Now I only snooze alarm I set to remind me I soon need to get to work, instead of several reminders. To keep Track of time, not sleep more.
Anyways many great tips. Though I think I’ll keep coffee as regular morning etc drink and tea for chill time.
Lol! That last hack. You had me laughing out loud! Great video, as always. 😊
to get out of bed easier, earlier, etc. remember what one elderly customer said to me one day. "Thank you, --------, that I awoke this morning! this privilege was not experienced by 100s of 1000s of people this morning! now I have a chance to have another day and try to do it better and better in so many ways!"
Points 4 and 5 were eye-opening. I have started implementing them already. Thank you so much!
Your Videos Always Make Me Feel Motivated - Like A Breath Of Fresh Air!! - Love Them 💖💖💖💖✨
Kallie! Thank you for your videos!!
Allow me to introduce myself.
I am Lisa, a very anxious to improve my life student of yours!
I have been binge watching you for several weeks. I am Changing my Mindset about my clutter! Yay!
I just Must share with you....I found a pair of 'chunky boots' at Goodwill right after you talked about yours...lol...Love them!
Found a $3 nice drawer organizer; ready to declutter my kitchen junk drawer!
Nervous about purging my clothes. Yes, a little 15 minute timer at a time! Thank you, Kallie! ❤️
Love these tips!! Your meal planning video has been a GAME CHANGER for me! Thank you!
That whole going to bed at the same time - my circadian rhythm isn’t having it. I go to bed at 11 pm and at 4 am I’m yelling at myself (inside my head of course - don’t want to wake up the doggies) SLEEEEP. Am I the only one, who can’t fix my daily rhythm?
I can't seem to find a set schedule even though I had to get up every day anywhere from 4:40 am - 6:30 am (depending upon my job schedule) for 43 years. I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP, but my schedule is all over the place. Sometimes I am eating breakfast at 3 pm to 7 pm, staying awake all night (not by choice) and going to bed at 5 pm the next day. I was even taking prescription sleep medication for several years about a decade ago. Nothing helps!
Thank you for all the great ideas and reminders… oh and grass fed is so much better all the way around😊
Thanks for the reminder about the phone. I know I need to be more present in my families lives.
I love music and agree it can be a game changer. One upbeat song I really like is "the sound of the sunshine" by Michael Franti. It's so happy and upbeat, I just smile constantly shaking my bum lol.
Curious where I can find your upbeat playlist. Love your channel thank you!!
I love both your channels. But where did "But First, Coffee" go?
Spot on about the phone! It is a tool for us to use. We must be cognizant of not letting the phone use us!
We sing Umbuntu in our church. It's pronounced, Oom-boo-too. There you go! Love your videos. 💜💜
Love love your channel!! So good.. so much GREAT information..even if it does not pertain to me (ie: babies-mine are grown🥳) I watch every one. Enjoy so much!
Wonder if you could do a video on your journey from vegetarian to non? I would be so interested to see your motivation. I have been vegan for 20 years and recently changed…so I’m curious about your evolution.
Thanks for a great video!!
I would love to know if your husband also has the same routines or different ones. Does he also help in decluttering and cleaning?
I also love coffee but had to give it up last year. I put tea in my coffee mugs.🥺
Thanks for the video. Working on some of these improvements at the moment. Can you give us the link to your "Feel Good" Playlist? That would be great.
Thank you for these tips and keep up your amazing content! 😍
Fun and helpful as always Kallie!
Hi there, where can I find the the link to the playlist?
TY. Love to know your favorites for a playlist.
I just don't snooze....I wake up between 3 and 6 a.m. and my day is on....now, the hubs...well.....not so much. I can affirm the playlist theory. I was a single parent for years and on weekends our chores had to be done before we could play. I'd put on my favorites and we got it done. To this day, my son cleans his home listening to Cat Stevens. When I walk I take purposeful music with a beat...and before you know it my 4 miles are done. Now, I don't meal plan...I've a habit of only buying (every 3-4 weeks) what my family will eat then in the morning I shop my freezer for dinner.
I’m probably over looking this somewhere, but, where do I find the upbeat music play list? I may really need this in my life. 😀
The concepts you talked about in your second suggestion remind me a lot of the teachings of Jesus. He was passionate about treating others with kindness. He saw every person as equal. The world would definitely be different if we all saw each other as human beings.
But first, Tea! The first thing on my to do list for today is to go to bed at 10pm! I better stick to it :)
The phone is definitely my weakness. I ended up being a SAHM not by choice after an international move, and it makes me feel less lonely and more connected to family, friends, and other adults in general. I'm trying to be better in being more intentional with the phone, and also with the kids while putting the phone down, especially since my 6yo pointed out how much I use it 😔
My husband loves the Ubuntu philosophy! It sounds wonderful to me, too!
I use a wake up gently spotify playlist to wake up to everyday. I'm in the market for a gentle awake alarm clock.
I literally here your voice in the morning when my alarm goes off saying, “When have you ever felt better and more refreshed after hitting that snooze button?” 😂
I wish I could have a regular bedtime.. but that's not for me.. why? Because i work nights🙃
You made me laugh with the 7th tweak! Definitely a “hard no” for me also!
Hi Kallie, I’m getting so much helpful info and direction from your videos, thank you.
Did I miss the link to your playlists??
Great video! Thank you!🙃
I couldn't find the playlist...
Heard the last tip & was NOPE, not happening...glad we're on the same page😂
Can you share your uplifting play list?
I’m glad you didn’t make the seventh one ! 😂. I love coffee
Any thoughts for people who work the night shift day 11:00 pm to 7 am?
My son is 25 years old and works 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. 6 nights every week. I would LOVE some help! Thank You for mentioning this.
I didn’t see the links to any playlists in the description, did I miss them? I would love a new playlist!
I checked out your play list, lots of duplicates from mine😊 recommend to to add girl on fire Alicia Keys, Blinding lights by the weekend and bad habits by Ed sheeran 👍
Wish I could give you more then one like for this video- thanks for your channel and advice :)
