Angela, sometimes I come to your channel for practical advice, but most of the time I come here to feel less stressed about life in general. Just listening to you is therapeutic.
For any reason you've joined me I'm grateful. It's so nice to have you here. Thanks for being part of my day. 💛
Me too lol she has so much wisdom 💖
Me too! So much recovery in every detail.
Same! She’s awesome and so real!
House cleaning is a boring , tiring , endless task
I'm a former classroom teacher. I could not be late to work because my students needed a teacher. I always got there early. Schools are excellent models for routines. Spend a day with a classroom teacher and you will understand the value of routines and rituals. Children find comfort in routines, and teachers need those and rituals to control behavior and create a safe learning environment.
Thanks so much for sharing. 👍
Angela, you are my new therapist/house clean pro! ❤🙏🏼 God bless you. And Delores 😂🙏🏼 I have ADHD and this is so accurate. I need to have a routine because I get distracted 🙃
LOL, Thanks for the kind words and for spending a few minutes with me here today. :-)
Yes. I'm 68. Two years ago, no big deal. Today, I am coming to terms with being unable to do all that I use to. It's not just the physical work, it's the CATEGORIZING everything in order to BE organized, so as I am developing routines, I am minimizing. My brain just can't take it. You are SO right!
Good for you for developing routines and minmizing! You got this Kay! Sending you hugs. 🤗🤗
I didn’t realize I had decision fatigue/overwhelm till now 😰 no wonder I can’t get anything important done
Oh no...now you have some pointers that you can put to use. You got this!!
I came to the same realization. You’re not alone. There are great pointers Angela gave, I’m going to give them a try, setting up a daily routine first. Sending you ❤️ and a big virtual hug from California ✌🏽
What a treasure for me to discover you Angela!💘
( I am 50 years old now). Even when I was a little child I knew how important for me to have a routine. You wouldnt imagine how had I tired to have one but no way, I couldn't!
Then I understand that I didn't know myself. I was stuffed up with all my traditions, traumatic past, fears etc. They became the conductor of my life
and I was a puppet of in their hands!
Then I stopped trying to create a routine instead focused on who I want to be.
And understand and accept all that what happened to me. Face with them. Gone through the fire feeling deeply the pain every inch of existence.
As a result, I became 50 now.
Ready to create a routine-actually have started -
Started working a cleaner quite recently to save up money to buy a laptop to study councelling online ( in traumas as I have more experience in this field).
So ladies, don't give up!
Again thank you for your generosity Angela💙. You are a sage to me!💘🙏
Thank you for sharing this story. I'm sorry for your past. And I'm so thrilled you're embracing your divine right in the present moment, your newfound ability to do, to have, and to be. I'm excited about the person you are becoming right now and I hope you will keep me posted. I'm here cheering for you - know that because of you, the world is a better place. 💖🙏
I like this! I broke my home up into different zones and I try to tackle 1 zone a day for 15-20 minutes. I also try to clean as I go, put things back in their place, etc, so that cleaning is easier. Little by little I’ve notice much more order and calmness.
Love that!
Love the zone idea!
I do that too. I dust on Sundays, floors & kitchen on Monday mornings, and bathrooms on Tuesdays.
I also make sure I have the right tools. At 55 I can’t afford to have my back go out pulling heavy vacuums, water filled buckets etc., so I dust mop the wood floors, mop them with Bona (we have engineered wood floors), steam the tiled floors. OMG! The steamer changed my life!
Yes! I implemented a cleaning routine over a year ago, and I can’t believe how much more at peace I am! The holistic benefits I’ve experienced are priceless. It has spilled into other areas of my life too. Thank you for the affirmations!
You're welcome! And thank you for watching the video. 🙂
I subscribed to this channel a couple of years ago when she put a video out on how to get yourself to get up and clean while depressed...
Here's the thing...I DON'T HAVE A CLEANING BUSINESS NOR AM I A HOUSEKEEPER. Lol.
I have LUPUS and suffer from severe depression and anxietyand when I first saw her video on depression and cleaning I cried through it. Something about the way she connects with her audience and the way she speaks to them that is sooo comforting. Not to mention the advice she gives is just as good if not better than any therapist I've seen out there.
Great channel. Great content. Very inspiring. I absolutely love it!
(Again.. subscribed,and I don't clean!)
Thank you for all of your guidance and amazing advice through this channel.
Thank you so much for your kind words. And thank you for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! Sending you hugs. 🤗🤗😊💕
@@AskAngelaBrown 💛
Have you ever thought of becoming a public speaker? Your delivery is impeccable.
Oh, thanks so much for the kind words of encouragement and support. 😍
@@AskAngelaBrown Do you realize how amazing you are? I was just blown away at the quality of your delivery. If you got on a professional speaking circuit, you could be making some serious money. People with half your speaking skills are making 6 to 7 figures a year. May I suggest you read the Magic Of Big Thinking by David J. Schwartz.
I came here looking for ways to clean better or more efficiently and now I want Angela to be my life coach 😩
Oh wow, that is so nice of you to say. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement and support and for spending a few minutes of your day here with me. I appreciate you. :-)
Our 'cleaning therapist' 😉
Such a good advice. Ten years ago the idea of structured routine was scary and boring and it’s true the older we get it because smart and drama free and that’s where most of us want to be when it comes to almost everything
Gigi, So true! Thanks for reaching out to let me know you liked the video. 👍
YES! I completely agree about us settling in as we mature. I used to love the thrill and excitement of inventing a day and all of its activities from scratch. The beauty comes from knowing I can do that whenever I want - and the rest of the time, stick to the routines. 👏👏👏
Brilliant! This why Saturday was baking day, Sunday was rest and church, Monday was washing day Etc. And there was a rhythm to the meals too. If it was a Wednesday you knew exactly what you were going to be eating. I was like you when I was young and didn't value this kind of thing. Now I see where I could have made my life easier and as I get older I'm falling more into rhythms. This is life advice not just cleaning.
Seems like you have a great routine going! Keep it up. And thank you for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! 🤗
This is ingenious! I always resisted cleaning schedules bc I thought "I'll just clean things when they need cleaning" but this makes so much more sense. I do better with schedules, so I'm going to try it.
That’s great! Keep me posted on how it works out for you : )
I have been living that kind of life at only 50% of the time. This video is golden.
Thank you for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! 🤗
Me: I LOVE TO CLEAN AND I'M GOOD AT IT!!! Also me: trips over the vacuum extension cord, because the wheels got stuck in it, whacked myself in the head with the vacuum handle trying to not fall on our poodle, knocked my earring out of my head with said handle, vacuum promptly sucks up grandmother's vintage earring into the abyss of eternal fluff, which I spent a good amount of time picking through in the backyard. In Florida. In July. 😳 Honestly I despise cleaning and I suck at it, but you have so much faith in me that I persevered and cleaned the whole house, because I couldn't disappoint the sweet internet cleaning lady. Thank you for all you do!! Much appreciated
😂 Thank you so much, I am happy I was able to inspire you! I appreciate you watching! 😊
You hope that helps a little bit. LOL Girl, this is life changing! A cleaner home and less stress. The example of the trash pickup really made it clear. I realized I already have somewhat of a routine. Garbage to the street on Mon. Change sheets on Thursday, etc. All I need to do is assign a day for the dusting, floors, bathroom, etc. and I'm all set. Thank you so much.
You're welcome! And thank you for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! 🤗
Omg just what I needed to hear. Angela, you explained routines in a way that makes sense to me for the first time ever. Till now I thought routines were restrictive. But you are helping me see that they actually are freeing me up to do the things I want to do. THANK YOU!!!!!!
You are welcome! You got this!!
Hi Angela,
Thank you for the video, great one as usual.
Thanks for the reminder of how my life used to be, like clockwork. My husband died and my world spun out of control. I just stopped doing things, and couldn't make decisions anymore. I have chaos inside of my head, and outside surrounding me in the house. This just might be the kick in the pants I needed to get back to normal. You shined a light on the path I need. Just get back to a routine, doing things in order. Thank you, I'm so greatfull. It seems like pointing out the obvious now that you said it; but in the fog of grief I lost my way and couldn't figure a way out of the mess I've made. I hope you know how much your videos mean to other people. Please keep making them. Big air hugs. 🤗
Take care, stay safe, have a nice day.
👵☺️✌️☮️🖖🤗 😷 🙉🙈🙊
Sorry for your loss. Losing a loved can affect your life in many different ways. And getting back to a normal routine sometimes takes a bit longer. But it makes me happy to know that you are getting back to a routine. Sending you positive vibes, prayers and hugs. 💕🙏🤗😊
@@AskAngelaBrown Hi,
Thank you so much.
🤗☮️🖖 😷
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
@@michellek7933 Hi,
Thank you. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 You too.
Dear Angela you are great. Thanks for great story about Delores. I think I am similar to her. I get up at same time, drove same car 20 years and worked at same place for 40 years, and never late at work like others. Please tell me way is easiest way to clean a ceiling fan in the kitchen. It took me over a hour to degrease the 5 blades and top the fan housing.
Hi. I am so sorry for being so late to respond. Thank you so much for watching, I appreciate it! ☺
Hi, today was the first day that I found myself with your videos and I could not stop looking at them. Wow, I’m impressed, because you don’t just give cleaning advice, you’re a wonderful therapist. Thanks for all your advices. Blessings
Thanks very much for your kind words of encouragement and support. I appreciate you. 🙏
Great tips, thank you Angela. Yes a routine works great because it eliminate wasting time trying to figure out what to do. I like stacking habits for example it could be getting in the habit of putting away stuff on one touch. For example you can just make a decision that you won't pile up clothes on the chair aka "Chair Syndrome", instead every time you take off your clothes either you put them back in the closet or laundry basket. Another habit to stuck on top of this is just to make the bed everyday. If you do this consistently for 30 days you will not go back again.
This is great! I agree. Thanks for sharing!!
I came to your TH-cam for house cleaning knowledge but I’m getting a LIFE cleaning lesson 😘
I used to be organized, clean and have a flexible routine, it helped get life’s tasks done but gave me freedom for those unexpected things. My husband found pleasure in putting a stick in my spokes and it got worse over time.
He worked so hard to undo anything I did and to interfere with what I needed to do that eventually I gave up ! I gave up on everything, on counseling, on the marriage, on having anything nice, on making plans, on expectations, on fighting in court over the kids…..I was defeated ! And for some reason, although he isn’t here sabotaging my every move, I still am unable to get back to the old me for fear of “it’s not going to work out anyway, it doesn’t matter” ! Now I am so behind on things needing done that it’s overwhelming and is paralyzing 😏
I’ll be 56 soon and I feel like I don’t have time to do everything, I just can’t wait for this life to be over !! I’m not suicidal, I’m just ready to be done, so come Lord Jesus 🙏🏻 and until then, I’m going to take lessons from Angela ❤
Blessings
I'm so sorry that you went thru this and that you are still dealing with the affects. This can be tough to get out from, but you can do it! You got this!!
Listen to this, I hope it helps:

@@AskAngelaBrown Thank you !!!
I want you to know, you make a difference!!!
Angela you nailed it . The Delores method . Everything that is daily , take out the decision . Leaving your brain room for what is decisions. . No need to reinvent the daily wheel
Thanks. I've grown very fond of routines over the years for this very reason. :-)
Thank you for your work in putting out these super helpful videos. Today you gave me some good ideas for scheduling things and making some tasks routine. I think this will help and plan to make a basic template. I feel like I'm scatterbrained when it comes to doing so many household chores.
I think a simple schedule will really help
Thanks again!
Thanks for watching. It's true, routines remove the decision-making process and eliminate the stress of reinventing a new set of tasks or chores every day. Let me know how it goes, I'm here rooting for you. 👍
I like Dolores. I am Dolores! Is Dolores a Taurus by chance? Taurus people love stability and knowing a routine. This is exactly how I run my business. A few years ago I had a customer ask me how I remembered to do everything, and I said "the list is up here" as I pointed to my head. It's just a routine that I have memorized after years of doing the same thing over and over. Boring is financially secure.
LOL. I don't know if Delores is a Taurus, but I am. I used to hate boring - and now it is my salvation. Congratulations on figuring out one of the biggest secrets to success in business. A boring routine, who knew?
@@AskAngelaBrown you probably have a different rising sign, like Aries or Gemini. Both those signs get bored easily, esp. Gemini. lol
THIS!! 👍😉
What a wonderful video to help me set up routines and schedules! I can't wait to share this with my husband. Thank you!
I appreciate you leaving a comment. I hope your husband likes the video too. 👍
Ms. Angela I have to say, when I started watching your videos a wk or so ago it was with the goal in mind to be a better cleaner in general but also to learn how to start my own business. It was actually the air bnb videos that got me hooked. Every single day since then I have went to bed and woke so looking forward to binging 2-4 episodes not just for the above mentioned but because you are helping me sort through some mental health issues I have and what’s really cool it that everything you say is lining up with things I affirmed. I just watched the video last night that taklks about affirmations and the universe lining up and I cried because that was something I had just started working on and truly believe and to have someone speak to my soul was amazing. Thank you for being here and making these amazing videos and spreading such life changing knowledge. 🥰🫶🙏 virtual hugs 🤗
Hi Danielle, I am SO glad you reached out and we connected. You just made my day and I feel like I've made a new friend. Welcome to the channel and welcome to my little corner of the world. Big warm virtual hugs in return. 🤗🤗🤗
This is a great idea!! I’m going to implement some of these routine ideas this week. I’ve been feeling creatively blocked for a while and it never occurred to me that a routine could free up CPU energy in my brain. You are awesome and so is Delores! amazing that you remembered her egg salad sandwiches. what a sweet memory of your time with her.
Thanks Mel for watching and for taking the time to drop me a line. Decision fatigue is a real thing and you're right, a little routine goes a long way. 😀
@@AskAngelaBrown Yeah, I you said the magic words- decision fatigue. I think most of us forget to care for our brain/mind same way we would care for ourselves in other health aspects. Sleep hygiene for one has become forgotten by so many of us. And not getting good routine sleep is incredibly detrimental.
You are a life coach passing as a housecleaner! I see you! 😊
LOL. Thanks for the vote of confidence, you just made my day. 😍
I am in the same boat with others, for the first time realised how important this small easy things if done everyday in the same order0
👍
Wow! Thank you for the clear and motivating explanation about creating a template for our routines 😀 So helpful in promoting peace and well-being . Have a wonderful day!
You're welcome! And thank you for watching the video. Hope you have a great day. 🙂
Your energy and enthusiasm are inspiring! Everything you say makes perfect sense. Thanks!
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words!😊
I needed to hear this. Thank you Angela. ❤️
Thanks for watching and for reaching out. :-)
This video was great. I love your delivery and how authentic you are, Angela. I hope you have a great weekend! Bye!
Thanks, Christine for your kind words and for taking the time out of your day to drop me a line. It's great to have you here. Happy weekend to you as well. I'm sending you a big virtual hug. 🤗
God bless you. Thank you so much. I have never thought about templates this way and I could actually start re-creating this tomorrow. Again, thank you so much.
You are so welcome, glad it was helpful!
Ms. Angela why ru so smart??!! 😘😘 Happy New Year!!! Thanks for all rhe great housecleaning and life tips!

Yes! And thank you for sharing!
Angela your advice been so helpful to me thank you so much. Be safe 🙏❤
You're welcome, glad it was helpful! And thank you for watching the video. 🙂
Thank you, you made me feel better about my housework routine, when I retired from work instead of downsizing we up sized, I know, right? The larger house was overwhelming to me, so I sat down & created a house cleaning schedule for myself (with some help from some great TH-cam bloggers). Because of the larger size house I created a zonal house cleaning schedule which most weeks I stick to but if a spanner gets thrown into the works I can do some minor rearranging & still get my weekly housework done. Thank you.
That is so awesome! Having a schedule/routine makes the cleaning a bit easier. Thanks for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it!
Thanks so much, Angela! You help me get energized to do my daily routine. God bless you and keep you safe and healthy!!!!!
Thank you Barbara for the kind and healthy wishes. I wish the same for you. 🙏
This was a very, very helpful video. I reviewed my entire list of daily, weekly and monthly routines, and added little tasks to each one. Just the daily routine changes made a huge difference. Thank you for your excellent videos!
Hooray! I am so happy for you and so proud of you. Way to go! 👍
I so needed this video in my life!!! Thank You
You are so welcome! 😊
Oh wow. This is absolutely genius. Thank you so much! ♥️
Thanks for watching and taking the time to respond. It's great to have you here. :-)
I love this video (and all your common sense). Thank you Angela. 💜🌟
You are so welcome! Glad to know that you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Yup totally agree. I have a routine I stick with...each day I do a chore example dust house and do it for 15 mins....by the weekend my home is spotless cause i clean when it is already clean...this way it is fast. Saturday I zone clean 1 hr
Love this!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Angela - the 'office' analogy is great.
Thanks. It blew my mind when I first heard it - and the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. :-)
Thank you Angela, I needed to hear that!
You’re so welcome : )
Thank you! I needed to hear this right now. Bless you, dear cleaning lady!
You are so welcome, glad it wad helpful! Thanks for watching. Sending hugs. 🤗
This particular video it’s something I share every day when I’m out and about. You are simply amazing. you have made a difference in my marriage. You got through to my husband when I could not about why we have a routine. Please know you’ve made a difference in our lives
Thank you Chelsea for the kind words and the vote of confidence. I appreciate you spending a few minutes of your day with me. 🙏
I think that that is the big problem, every monday this, every tuesday that. That is discipline, not a formula. Love your channel!
Thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching. 🙂
You are so right! I have a hard time with being routined but it’s the answer
Thanks for watching the show and sharing a comment. 😊
I love this channel, and I just love YOU, Angela! Xx

Big thumbs up on this video! Thank you!
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to drop me a line. It's great to hear from you. :-)
This one nailed it! I learn alot from your videos and you put things into perspective and it is motivating. I struggle every day and these videos are mentally uplifting!
Oh wow, what a lovely thing to say. Thanks so much for joining me and for taking the time to drop me a line. 🤗
You just BLEW MY MIND with the puzzle template 🧩
Awesome...thanks for watching!
Wonderful. We all know those reasons for not doing but this just sweeps that aside and lets us do the job.
It's true, the systems become automatic and keep us on track for a more productive day - even on days when we feel uninspired to "go through the motions." Thanks for watching. :-)
I enjoy just listening to you! You have such a kind and thoughtful way of reminding me to relax and use common sense. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your kind words, I appreciate them.
Thanks. The template instruction is great!
You're welcome...glad it was helpful! 😊
Love this! I watch twins and routines and schedules are my friend!

Great topic.... amazing solutions!
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!
Yes it definitely helps so much thanks Angela I will try to do the same 🙏😊
You are so welcome! You got this! 😊
Wow! What a helpful and insightful video. I’ve actually never heard this perspective before. I came here for cleaning tips and inspo, but I’m getting a lot more than just that! Your page is awesome 👏
Yay! I am so glad you like my TH-cam channel and I appreciate you reaching out to let me know. 😊
Angela your the best . I use to clean a house for an elderly woman I cleaned her house every day I was ther for about five years it was my first job and I loved it but since she passed awY I began working in a hotel and its not the same it alot of pressure I've been tworking in the hotel for about six months but I cant get use to working with other people I can't get use to have so little time for each room . Its alot of pressure .
Oh no, so sorry for your loss. Losing clients can be difficult. And working in a hotel environment is very different. I hope things get better for you.
@@AskAngelaBrown thankyou.
Angela, you are a great find!
Hugs from Dallas Texas.
Oh wow, what a lovely thing to say. Thanks so much and welcome to the channel. :-)
Such great advice! I have been trying to clean my bathroom and vaccuum every Wednesday. I dislike both activities, so it gives me a way to not put it off. Oh, and guess what day it is today? You guessed it! Time to clean! 💪
I’m routing for you. Keep up the good work!
Angela ! You are absolutely Amazing 🤩 !!! Love it! You are Very smart women! I learned a lots from your videos! Thank you so much 🙏🏻😊
You are so welcome! And thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! 🤗
I have watched a ton of videos to train myself into becoming a morning bird and/or time management. This is one of the most useful. I would love to see a video on how to manage your time effectively while reducing wear and tear on your body. I am very thorough, but need to improve on how to work smarter, and not just harder.
Glad it was helpful, thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it! And I'm loving your suggestions!! I will have to add this to my queue.
COOL...you got me on track...thanks
Awesome, thanks for watching!
Am telling you , again and again. ... You are amazing!!!!
Wow, thank you so much!! And thanks for watching!
Simple genius! Thanks!
You're welcome!
Genius! Best advice ever!!! EVER!
Thanks. It didn't seem like it at the time I first heard it and the older I get the more sense it makes. ;-)
Love it. Wonderful advice
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Wow.
Very insightful ❤
Glad you think so!😊
I know this is an older video, but I really needed to hear it again. Thanks!
You are so welcome Sheryl! And thanks for watching the video again, I appreciate it.
@@AskAngelaBrown 😊 You're very welcome! I appreciate all the effort you put out to help people.
Great video, thank you! Being a person that could never follow a set plan/schedule, my brain is spinning. What’s the difference between a formula, routine, schedule and habit? Thanks so very much. ~ Carol💜✔️
I'm also curious.
A formula is a plan for the routine. (Get up, make bed, take pajamas off and hang them up)
A schedule is when you will do the plan (i.e. make the bed and hang up pajamas every day, or take out the trash on Monday, wash the linens on Saturday)
A routine is the execution of the formula (every day you get up, make the bed, take off the pajamas and hang them up.)
A habit is doing the routine day-by-day-by-day.
@@AskAngelaBrown Thank you so much.
Love it, Angela. That's a good reason for the uniform clothing and everything else that you have talked about over time with systems. It reminds me of the book I read about the Toyota production system and two second lean. Standardize and eliminate the things that are not standard in your processes so make things more stable and even.
Love this! Thanks for sharing and for taking the time to write in. I appreciate it! 😊🤗
I wish you could remember the title of the book, i'd love to read it.
LOVE LOVE Delores I have been tought this method by mother over 50 years ago. I have been criticized for this method for years but I still keep my schedule. 😏❤😊👍🏻
I love this. Keeping a routine is one of the secrets to happiness, health and doing the things you really love while the things you just have to do run on autopilot in the background of your life.

she is right you just have to make a basic plan & stick to it adjusting to make it work for you. If you need something to get started, here is a basic chores & cleaning routine I have used for years, tweaked for current schedule. In my neighborhood trash/recycle pick up is on Monday & I order groceries from Imperfect Foods. The ordering window is 1PM Monday through 3PM Tuesday, delivery on Thursday. If I entertain family or friends in my home, it is usually Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon. During the pandemic my home is closed to visitors.

As usual, brilliant.

Great channel that isn't just about cleaning Angela!
From what I know you are an avid reader. Your habit stacking suggestion reminds me of a book called Atomic Habits by James Clear.
Have you read it? Thanks
Yes, I love that book. It's true there is so much more to cleaning than actual cleaning. I was almost a year into my cleaning business when I discovered that I wasn't in the cleaning business with people attached - I was in the people business with cleaning attached. 💛💛💛
So amazing 🙏💓
Glad you think so, thanks for watching!
Yes. Very helpful.

You are absolutley brilliant
Oh wow, what a lovely thing to say. Thank you very much. I appreciate the compliment. 🙏
My problem is that no one on the house will cooperate with routines. They help me so much, just to not be overwhelmed, but my family is so random. I hate it.
It's interesting that as kids we learn by watching others do things - and we end up doing things our parents did - often without even knowing why. If you follow routines to a T - you will find that often your family will start doing the routines as well. They won't know they are doing them, and they won't know why. But an unconscious level - if people are not leaders, they end up being followers. It might take a few weeks or even a few months - but then the family will be used to "the new norm." And when things aren't "just so" they will jump in and do them. It's like a magic trick. 😍
