How are you feeling right now? Need a "rah, rah, rah" from me? I've written out the full Action Plan for you in a blogpost dianedenmark.com/2024/12/20/christmas-overwhelm-reset-action-plan/ Grab the kids and take one hour tomorrow morning to get you back on track! Let me know how you get on - I am here for you! ⭐🙏🏼😊
Great video! Unfortunately, the blog post has so many ads it is hard to tell what is your words and what is an advertisement! I imagine less tech savvy users may download things they didn’t mean to from your page.
@clairashburn4258 I’m sorry for the inconvenience caused by the ads on my blog - I understand it can be frustrating! All my content is completely free, and I don't do sponsored TH-cam or blog content: the ads help support the costs of running the blog so I'm not out of pocket. If you'd prefer to read my posts without any ads, signing up for my emails will send all the posts directly to your inbox, ad-free! Thank you for your understanding and I really appreciate your support!
I found you when I was depressed in college and struggling to cope with life...I view you as my cool Danish aunt! Right now, you are helping me take control of my life after finishing the firat semester of my masters degree. Thank you!!
I can say with confidence that having subscribed for many years and used your routines, habits and declutterring suggestions, I have changed my approach to my home as well as the holidays. I highly recommend subscribing to this channel. It really works ❤from Canada 🇨🇦
My take from a few years watching Diane is constant declutter, not hours of it, but by the way passing bookshelf or draw or whatever other place take something out that I don’t need any more. And I don’t need to do all the house on one day. I don’t have a messy any more, I always can reset my space within max 10-20 minutes! That would include dust, or wiping kitchen tops etc. Thank you Diane, you are simply the best! Merry Christmas.
Please keep reminding us that it’s progress over perfection. Worrying that I can’t get everything. Just right. Paralyzes me into doing nothing at all. Thank you so much for this video. I needed it. God bless you and your family over this holiday season.
I listened to you while I did my night time routine. I really didn't want to, but I did it! Now it's off to bed with a good book. I never want to tidy the kitchen before bed,but I am always glad I did. Have a very happy Christmas 🎄
I decluttered and rearranged my kitchen cabinets this morning. They were driving me bonkers! Nothing screams chaos like a kitchen that doesn't make sense. Progress over perfection. A little a day keeps the clutter at bay.😂
Love this! I'm still getting settled in my new home and once one room feels calm and put away, another one seems to accumulate items. I'm still finding the best spots for everything.
I have been so stressed out and crazy busy, but I feel like this is the first day I have been able to gain contol. Finally, put on some Christmas music and experimented with some Christmas crafts.
I received a wonderful gift last night when my only holiday visitor rescheduled from two days before Christmas to "sometime" before the new year. That gives me another week approximately to prepare myself mentally, physically, and emotionally. And this is the year that I really need that!
I needed this video. I was looking forward to the holidays but the last few days I'm feeling unmotivated and blue. Ticking my must dos off in small steps and resting in between. Today I got the Christmas dinner shopping done and wrapped presents. Just have a tidy and the cooking left to do.
Saved to watch again because I know an overwhelm day and mood will come! But today I made your lovely Christmas fudge with pistachios to give as gifts to our neighbors. We are all set here and just enjoying the days.
I saved watching this for this Hygge-ly Self-Care Saturday morning. Twinkly lights, candles, and coffee. A few flat surfaces and breakfast dishes to clear off and the house looks pretty good. ✨☕️🕯️ Little visits with you are the best to cheer and inspire! 🩷😊
I soent almost two weeks in December fighting a cold but survived much better than usual AND got a little something done each day... in large part because I got dressed every day. It really does make a huge difference. I feel more energized and able to move forward even when not feeling 100 percent. Thank you for giving me that wise advice...and for the reminder today👍🙂🎄
Thank you❤ Feeling relaxed and organised here. I’m one that doesn’t look forward to Christmas and all the hype. Menu plan and groceries are done. Guest bedrooms are waiting for the adult kids to arrive. Gifts are wrapped. Thank you for your love and guidance throughout 2024! Merry Christmas 🎄 and I’ll be following along again for 2025 🥂
I appreciate you. I appreciate your tone. It’s so hard when your children are running around like the looney tunes Tasmanian devil lol. I’m moving and motivated to make progress. The sun is shining which also helps.
We are finally caught up❣️The decorating is done, presents are wrapped & the food is on hand. We laundered the bed linens today and put them back on the beds. Rah, rah, rah! ❤️❤️🎄🎁
Excellent prompts, Diane - I drank a glass of water and it reminded me to take my medication! Tis the season for the usual routine to go right out of the window! Thank you for all your help and cheerleading in 2024. X
Hi Diane, I just want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2025!!!! Have been following your TH-cam for many, many years. Thank you for your great work ,as you must have helped millions of people like me. I just want you to know I think you are one amazing woman!!!!
Thank you for the ongoing inspiration. Because of my husbands health the house came very much second place, but you inspiration gives me the courage to start decluttering and organizing again.
Thank you for the reminder of progress not perfection. I am trying to make sure I stop and enjoy this holiday season, too, instead of only making it magical for everyone else. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and I look forward to your content in the new year!! Rah! Rah! Rah!
Fly lady has been a life changer for me this year. I am so grateful to you and your relatable content. Happy Christmas…..the first without your Mum, they do get easier xxx
Learned from you how important self care is ❤ 😊 I am so relaxed and not overwhelmed. Instant pot is helping me a lot during this days. Yesterday I came home late because I met some colleagues. Within 15 Minutes we had a Risotto with mushrooms and parmesan and some pork filet medaillons. A wonderful dinner after a nice evening 🎉 Also have a flylady list for the next days. Small tasks and the day it should be done because some tasks make no sense a few days before guests coming over. It is written down I don't have to think about it constantly and I can delete the things I have already done 😅 Thank you Diane ❤ Have a wonderful time
@sandyh8755 Hi Sandy 😊 Saute chopped onion (small one, depending on the amount of risotto) in a little bit of butter til it softens a liitle bit, add the risotto rice. Deglace with a splash of white wine. For every cup of rice add two cups of liquid ( any broth you like). Put on high pressure for 6 minutes, then quick release. Meanwhile I made my meat and in an extra pan I heatened up the mushrooms so that they lost most of the liquid. When the risotto is ready put in the mushrooms and the graded parmesan. Give it a good stir and ready. The onions, the mushrooms and the meat was prepared and in the fridge. So it was a quick meal. The heating up of the instant pot depends on the amount of liquid. So if you make a bigger portion add a few minutes 😉
Thank you for the pick me up. I seem to get stuck when I feel that there is a lot to do. But 10 minutes is doable - thank you for the reminder. Progress over perfection! I hope you have a very merry Christmas. 🎁🎄 ❤
Thank you so much for this video! Although I follow the FlyLady system and you, sometimes my perfectionism gets in my way. I need constant reminders that it is progress not perfection that matters. Love from Texas♥️
Brilliant! Just what many of us needed. Watched while having a late lunch and will do this plan when I return from dog walking (overdue, dog was at groomer earlier). I have been hamstrung by right shoulder pain, sciatica and an unplanned root canal this week. Bless you Diane and fellow subscribers.
Diane, thank you for the "rah,rah,rah". It was much needed. I'm leaving town for Christmas tomorrow and it just seems too much. This helped to get me off of my pity pot. Cheers
Luckily no visitors or entertaining in our house this Christmas. I work in a seasonal job that makes me super tired until February, so just basic routines for me.
Today a couple of 10 minute sessions made a big impact on the state of our home- thanks Diane for the motivation! On a side note: while at a thrift store this week I found a Aebleskiver pan! I will try my hand at making some for Christmas 🎄
Here I was in the early afternoon, having just found out that tomorrow’s guests will ve arriving several hours earlier than expected! You gave me just what I needed to hit my internal reset button, and get going! Thanks!
You have taught me the value of 10 minutes. In earlier years, if I knew that I would soon have to leave for an appointment, I would not start on a new project. Now I know that I can get something done in 10, or even 5, minutes.🦋🦋🦋
My house is quite good at the moment but I'm a but behind with the festive baking. So after my sea swim tomorrow I'm going to tackle my list 10 mins at a time. Im probably just procrastinating 😂. Merry Christmas 🎄🎅
That was *brilliant!* Half an hour (+ the bit of self care) and the difference in the house is more than noticeable. (And I've been sick whilst also being busy this past month so it was starting to become a crisis situation.) Now it won't be so overwhelming tomorrow when I do my "weekly home blessing". Thanks for your constant help, Diane! 😅

@@heidikay4462 My pleasure, Heidi! 😍
Hi Diane. Thank you! I need this reset so this video came at the right time! I hope you have a fantastic weekend! ❤ Off to put this plan in motion!

Such kind words,isn't Diane the best cheerleader ever! But how amazing are you - it's you has done the hard work. Well done xx

Nobody gives a dam about your house, food or presents. Leave town and go hiking all day on Christmas, and give everyone hope.
We’re ready & now waiting for our adult children to arrive in the next couple of days! No grandchildren, just kids & their wonderful spouses
I have always felt better after a "rah,rah,rah" from you, Diane! 💙
I listened to you while I did my night time routine. I really didn't want to, but I did it! Now it's off to bed with a good book. I never want to tidy the kitchen before bed,but I am always glad I did. Have a very happy Christmas 🎄
Diane, you are such a gem on the internet! Thank you for all your videos and the motivation. Merry Christmas to you and the family!
Aww, you are so sweet, Laura - have a wonderful weekend!
I decluttered and rearranged my kitchen cabinets this morning. They were driving me bonkers! Nothing screams chaos like a kitchen that doesn't make sense. Progress over perfection. A little a day keeps the clutter at bay.😂
Enjoy your family time knowing that you have helped others to do the same🤶
You always remind us to care for ourselves after doing the clean-ups.

It is amazing how much you can get done in 10 minutes. ❤
It really is, Sandy! Do you use a timer? I use mine All Day Long!
I received a wonderful gift last night when my only holiday visitor rescheduled from two days before Christmas to "sometime" before the new year. That gives me another week approximately to prepare myself mentally, physically, and emotionally. And this is the year that I really need that!

I have scaled back this year and find that I’m far more relaxed.
Saved to watch again because I know an overwhelm day and mood will come! But today I made your lovely Christmas fudge with pistachios to give as gifts to our neighbors. We are all set here and just enjoying the days.

@ Thanks so much. I used to have a recipe for mushroom risotto but I lost it. Imagine that?!
Diane, thank you!! This is so helpful, and I greatly needed it today. The brain dump is magic. ❤
Thank you for the pick me up. I seem to get stuck when I feel that there is a lot to do. But 10 minutes is doable - thank you for the reminder. Progress over perfection! I hope you have a very merry Christmas. 🎁🎄 ❤
You are so welcome, Bethany!

Thank you Diane for this, its exactly what i needed today as been struggling with overwhelm. Done 10 minutes in the kitchen and feel so much better x
Thank you. We’re getting there 🎉❤
Brilliant! Just what many of us needed. Watched while having a late lunch and will do this plan when I return from dog walking (overdue, dog was at groomer earlier). I have been hamstrung by right shoulder pain, sciatica and an unplanned root canal this week. Bless you Diane and fellow subscribers.
It is amazing how much can get done in that short amount of time 🤩
❤
Diane, thank you for the "rah,rah,rah". It was much needed. I'm leaving town for Christmas tomorrow and it just seems too much. This helped to get me off of my pity pot.
Cheers
Thank you! Great reminder!! You are a reassuring, calm, encouraging voice in this season.❤
