I loved this video! 💖 I used this routine in the 1970s! It worked great to get and keep my house spotless even with two little kids. The book is a hoot to read, but the gold is the actual routine in the back. I do miss that recipe card box system, and after watching this, I may dig out the cards and go with it again.
Same here! I started in the 80s and did it for many years. I’m resurrecting my card file.
I used this routine and books when I was in my early twenties! I 'm 66 yrs old and I still have my original cards! Good for you!
I have just set up this system and found I was so overwhelmed...I actually found a shop on Etsy that sells a start up kit...SAVED MY SANITY!!!
The beauty of the SHE card file system is how adaptable and pliable it is!
There are days that do not go according to plan ... that is why you are allowed to pencil in an "X" on the bottom of any card. When you do it next erase the "X" but after 2 "X's" (either 2 or 3, can't remember) you MUST do the chore card.
You're such a good mom! Your daughter's smile after she put the top on the index card box. She felt accomplished. Just priceless!
I read the book years ago and felt like it was totally me too! 😂
I Highly suggest getting the second book Catch Up on the kitchen where they divide the kitchen into Wet Dry Hot and Cold plus meal planning
I used the card file system when my kids were growing up in the 70's and 80s. The sisters did a second and third book, Catch up on the Kitchen and The Happiness File. I think it was the last book where they included info about making a card file for your kids. It worked great with my oldest, who is in his 40s now and loves to clean. It was a great way to establish routines in kids. Their files included little reward cards that you slip in at the back of their day's cards once in a while like "You did all your chores- let's go to the park!" Or "Good for one game of Candyland with mom". You add the surprise cards only occasionally and make the kid's chores simple like making their bed, picking up their toys, or feeding the cat. Your daughter would love it when she is old enough. Thanks for the great video.
I’ve had the same type of slide in my living room for five years. We have five great grandchildren and everyone has loved it. The baby is just 7 months but the other four, even the 5 year olds, still play on it! Great investment!
I love how your daughter and husband help you. I really enjoy how real you are, thank you.
G'day, Gabbi! You're doing such a good job of trying to follow the SHE schedule and, especially when you're a mum and you do things for your child, other tasks will get put on the back burner. The things you do for your child are every bit as important as the chores listed on your cards. That's how life is, so just keep on doing the things that matter for your family and don't worry if you miss something here or there. Your little Parker is just adorable. I hope that she will really like her new Montessori wardrobe.
My cards are spread on my dresser as we speak. Love this system.
I did something like this when I went from an office job to SAHM back in the 80s. They were great to give me a feeling that I got stuff done. I think I combined things on the cards as they made sense.
I think I may implement this again as I’m now retired.
I did this routine in the 90's. I was a teenager and I lived with my grandparents. Part of the reason was to help them out. Part was because I was spoiled by them so totally worked for me. But I did the majority of the cleaning. It wasn't hard, none of us mad much of a mess. But being a teenager I didn't have much of an attention span for making sure everything got cleaned. This was a super easy system. And if I wanted to leave for the day early and I had friends come over to help get things done it made dividing the chores easy. I have a version of this system set up for my kids. My youngest has pictures since she is not completely reading yet, but this was easier than a paper list for them.
I am so glad I found your channel. U clean like I use to. I'm disabled now. Boy I wish u where around me! Lord knows I would love someone who does cleaning like I use to. Great job!
That's inspiring, thanks!
I hope you keep Parker as your most important "card". Not that she needs constant attention, but I'm just saying, if you skip vacuuming because you were too busy building a sofa fort, that's a good thing.
I kind of had a grubby layer over the entire house while my three were young. It wasn't great. I limped along with flylady as best I could. But I tried to keep us up to a basic level of hygiene and meals, but as for the rest of my energy, I spent it on the kids. And I'm not sorry, we had a lot of fun and great relationships. My youngest is eight now and things are easier to keep cleaner, and I still have a good relationship with all of them.
She's so precious, she loves to help. 🥰
I try to keep that in mind when I'm feeling overwhelmed! I won't regret not having cleaned but I will regret missing out on time with the little ones!
Nice job, it will be interesting to see if or when you start to time tasks. I am always amazed how little time some things take. When I’m overwhelmed I think everything will take forever.
That was a LOT to take on in one day. Good thing you're young and have energy. 😂Doing all that WITH a baby, you deserve a gold medal. Lol'd when the baby stood on the dishwasher door to "help".
G'day, Gabbi! Parker with her own little vacuum cleaner is TOO CUTE!
I love that Parker helps you!!! ❤
I need a system to follow like that. Otherwise I am overwhelmed. At least it done and my house is clean, not worrying about what can I do next. Thank you. Very informative video. I listen to flylady too. But I just haven't found a system that works for me.
I think you will like the FlyLady better. I did SHE for years in the 80s then discovered FL. The difference is a habit waltz. Habit stacking is what the book Atomic Habits calls it. Auto pilot achievement of routines with minimal brain involvement .. I brush teeth,floss teeth, take pm meds because a small med cup sits on top of night guard to remind me so I remember to insert this habit before night guard. When something you forget needs to become established, tuck it into a well established routine. Morning bathroom routine includes the swish and swipe as I straighten sink area and put away teeth stuff then automatically use the disinfecting wipe to wipe down toilet and then swirl clean bowl, using cleaning product. Bathrooms stay nice. Still haven’t mastered paper routines.
I love cleaning the bathrooms. So much better than cooking.
Your baby is precious. And…have you ever been told that you look like Rachel McAdams? Love your channel.
You had a good first week. Great job! I started out with this routine in the 90's before switching to the Flylady. Seeing you do it kinda makes me miss those cards. LoL
So many cards in the morning would already overwhelm me.
I am more the flylady type, with 15 minutes for one task .
Parker standing on the dish washer door helping was beautiful. Such a pretty girl Thank you for sharing her housekeeping skills.
Love this system!
I would change wipe the dishwasher to wipe the front of one cabinet (or fridge, stove etc)
Is this different or better than housekeeping apps where you check things off?
Really helpful, thank you. I am considering this system but the set up is daunting! It is helping to see how you’ve set it up and actually used it.
Ìt takes time to set up all the cards...I. used this system when my kids were small ànd I was at home. I am now retiring and am going to start again...
by starting slow with daily items and build on that, slowly adding new items. So as I make progress, I will write new cards as needed instead of writing them all at one time...this works for me!!!
I like the SHE system better than the Fly Lady. Both are great programs, however I NEED the cards. If I have a card in my hand, I can put it in the box and then go do the task. If I have a PHONE in my hand, I may end up going to the Fly Lady app or I may end up on Facebook or playing a game. Devices distract but the cards keep me 'on task'.
Great job! I do a daily/weekly/monthly list on my digital planner which works for my ADHD.
Gabbi, I think you did GREAT!😇👍
This might seem like an odd suggestion for a video, but would you please do a video of your makeup and skin care routine? You're gorgeous!
This is probably a lot to ask but I've been looking for a video that shows you how to set the cards up. Due a brain injury, my brain is wonky which is exactly why I need this system except I can no longer translate how to set up the cards by just reading the book. I need to see it done. If anyone finds a good one, pls link it? If not, maybe consider doing a quick video showing how you set your cards up pls?
Nvm! I found one!! czcams.com/video/9JuJb6GVbj0/video.html
Is there a reason why all the dailies aren’t put on one card? Or an am card, a pm card, and a night time card? Parker following momma with her little vacuum 🥰🥰🥰
The dailies are not put on all one card incase there is a need (or desire) to skip one. The reasoning is explained in their book which is a great read even if you do not work the system.
20:18 "Pretty much at the store what we want to eat for the week" --- Our former pastor, who cooks the meals in his home, likes to go down the aisles in the shops and thinks, when he sees certain items on the shelves, "What can I make with that?"
Hey can you please show us how you have implemented this system with the clean mama? I love this system (though have started to modify it based on their second book Get your Act Together) which streamlines it sooo much. I am also Interested in trying out clean mama so that would be cool to see how you have meshed the two systems together
absolutely! i have one more routine i want to try out and then my plan is to make a video of the final combination of everything that worked for me! i didnt know they had a second book, ill have to check that out!
This seems so exhausting! I was exhausted just watching you 🤣.
I need help understanding. You open the box in the morning to look at the assignments for the day then put them back.
Y'all walk away from the box and can remember everything you just looked at for the entire day without dropping it all? I'm trying to understand...
I am starting this, and I decided I'm going to get me a Roomba cuz because I hate vacuuming and I have a cat. It needs to be done every day. So instead of vacuuming I'm going to put empty vacuum cleaner.
What does "extract the ... rug" mean?
Make a menu after shopping buy multi of those things u both like that are on sale then take home and sit down make menu from grocery finds head back to make a weekly list .JMO
What did you end of thinking of this system as time went on? What are you doing now?
I am in Alaska..where do you live that gets to 110? Texas?
Arizona, I believe
Do you think you need to read/buy the book or can you just get started? I get the card system well enough .
You will want to read the book! It is hilarious!
Это так похоже на игру!
What happened to clean mama routine?
I ended up incorporating it into this one! I just set up my notecards to align with the clean mama routine:)
Do You wipe the dishwasher door every day?
I did for the first few days but then it seemed kind of silly to do it that often so I switched it to every other day!
Just to let you know that Pam Young the author of the SHE book, died a few weeks ago, so sad.
Oh that’s so sad….. I did one of her courses when she was in Boston… found her through Flylady…. I have her get out of debt tapes! & her weight loss ones as well….. always fun to listen to… & I learned tons from her… Stuff I still implement in my life today….
I am so sorry to hear that. Thank you for sharing that info. I was just watching one of Pam Young's older videos here on CZcams the other day. I wondered if her sister Peggy Jones hadn't passed away because she was not in any of the later videos.They were so funny and helped me deal with my cleaning routines in the 70s and 80s.
Her sister Peggy developed MS many years ago and retired. I don't know if she is alive or not.
Are adults in this country like children that they need colorful handy dandy notecard reminders to do chores around the house? Smh. Lol.
It helps with ADD and ADHD. I'm here due to a brain injury so things don't come easy to me anymore. I need reminders.
@@TheKatiness I totally understand your need 🙏🏽
The system helped me because of my ADD plus I constantly fell behind in my cleaning when my kids were little due to being unable to walk from time to time due to autoimmune disease. No different than using a GPS to find your way. It is just a tool, and you use the right tool that works with your learning style and physical needs. 😊
