    Fantasy self wants to completely declutter and organize both my kitchen and bedroom before Summer. Most likely only one of these will happen but I’m staying hopeful. Thanks to you, Dana and Dawn, I have been working hard to declutter (the donation center knows me by name now 😊) and take my house back 🎉 This definitely is a work in progress but I am here for it in 2023 and beyond 💫🚀

      I absolutely love this organize kitchen. You did well.
      Please tell us where you got those under the sink storage bins. Those are perfect for under the sink.
      Fantasy me wants to write a book that I never even got started.
      Fantasy me wants to become speaker and get A LOT of money all while telling my testimony to people and helping them out.
      The people that I have talked to have been motivated and inspired by my testimony.
      In real life, not fantasy me, it is all because of God, however it does count for something. 🙏🏼 for me.
      Also, I don't know if you heard of: The Holderness Family. They are on CZcams. When I heard the end of your video Cass, I thought that you and the wife would get along and relate. You should check them out. They make funny, relatable videos. And I mean VERY practical, relatable videos. So relatable that it's actually embarrassing to admit it, but that's life and we're all in it. 🤦🏼‍♀️😂🤷🏼‍♀️

    There were some good ideas in here. I am not a Cricket, but I love the idea of the organized spices. So 12 years ago, a friend started teaching me how to knit a sock but I moved and didn't have a pattern so I stored it away. I am happy to report I have picked it back up and I am almost done with it. I did have to watch a million youtube videos and read many patterns to figure out how to proceed but I almost have one sock. Who knows, I may have a pair in another 12 years.

      On the one hand - spices organized that way look nice. On the other - jars in various shapes help find the spice much quicker than labels, and if you use one spice more often that the others the bigger jar is more convinient that uniformized jar and a bag in the pantry.

    I found out at 37 I have ADHD pretty bad in Nov. The grief of what my life could have been like if I knew earlier was pretty rough for a month. But then I did the thing we're great at and learned everything I could. My family has gotten behind me and after watching a bunch of your videos we have spent the entire month of January decluttering every area of my homestead. Went minimalist in every area I could and made every item in my home have a home. I am finishing the kitchen today and then for the first time in my life I will have a clean organized house and the habits started to keep it that way. I was able to quit my job in September to focus on our homestead and woodworking and I plan on starting a channel about homesteading as a Neural divergent and I have a clean slate to work from. My brain has never been free of guilt or stuff I should be doing to be a good mom. I'm also an addict coming up on my 10 years clean. Thank you for putting out the videos about adhd they have meant a lot. Your story of your husband finding all of your dirty dishes meant a lot to me to know im not the only one.

    I didn’t realize I had a fantasy self until, you gave so many examples. Before this I would’ve told you I’m a realist. One of the ways I keep my fantasy self in check for the most part is by using Pinterest. I have a board for each dream and it’s free and I get to escape to Pinterest land every so often without hurting my pocketbook or anyone else🤗.

    I wish that you could come and help me get organized. 🤣
    I was recently diagnosed with stage-4 non-alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver. My mom, sister, and Aunt all died from this disease. Therefore I know my fate. It's just a matter of time unless God sends a miracle. I know that my days are numbered and I'm okay with that. Except I know that it's going to be sooner than what I had planned. Is that something we actually planned for? 🤣
    I would say that my goal for this year is to see my house finally organized before I die. That is really the only thing on my bucket at this point in my life.
    So, if you ever decide you would like to visit West Virginia and the mountains, I would love to have your help. ❤️🙏😊

      My prayers are with you and your goal to organize your home. I have faith in you that you can do this for yourself. Like Cas said, start with one drawer, cabinet or box at a time.
      Once you decide to have stuff go, it feels good. Going vertical is another help to have movable shelving units.
      Play a game once a week to get rid of 10 things. Adopt a one in one out policy to keep the items manageable. Imagine that peace of mind you will have once everything has a home and fits your space. GOD bless you in your journey🙏.

    I think it's helpful to show what you do with THE REST of the decanted items. It's a step that needs considering when people determine whether to decant or not. There needs to be a spot somewhere for jars or bags of what didn't quite fit or that will need replenishing soon.

    My fantasy self is a novelist as well. (She also feeds her whole family on pennies a day from her organic garden and cans/dries the surplus and makes all her own clothes so if the apocalypse comes they're all set.)

      Just so you know, bins in the fridge have their uses, but really impractical when you get to the point where you need to defrost a whole bird, or cool down a pot of chili or have a big family dinner's worth of leftovers to store. Plan on needing at least half a shelf that is not being used up by bins. A full shelf is better.

    The bad thing about decanting your groceries is that the package volume is always bigger than a container volume. So you've got leftovers. Lots of them. Sometiimes it's just a couple of tablespoons, but you can't throw them out, you can't use them all just now and you have to store them somewhere (and try not to forget about them).

So I am going to keep binging your videos while I recuperate from my last episode last week and not do anything taxing (per Dr orders) so that I have great ideas written down to start me on a journey to hopefully a less cluttered and easier to manage home.

Not in time for my sister-in-laws birthday this month, but definitely by Christmas since I'm over halfway done). Now, I'm 5mo pregnant with little #3! I discovered the Minimal Mom who mentioned you and what's your clutterbug style (I'm a bee through and through but hubby is a butterfly - which I'm discovering I can work with). So nesting is hitting me hard and I'm making more progress than I have in YEARS! I LOVE you and your energy and videos and stories! It's so wonderful to know I am not alone and I now give myself grace and forgiveness and know it's ok to let things go. They're just things and not as important as time with my family.

    Okay, about alphabetizing spices. I read eons ago where an author (it was a library book) said it sounds silly or OCD or whatever but it makes sense! Many spices look similar so keeping them in alpha order means you don't end up with thyme when you wanted oregano or have to pick up several jars to find the right one. If you keep them arranged on a shelf or in a drawer (my latest win!) there's a hole where you took it out, so it's a 2 second win to put it back where it came from!

    Fantasy Shannon is also still putting off getting fit, eating healthy, becoming a ‘Cricut-Artista’, super chef, & garden guru.😂 I won’t say that decluttering, getting organized, & repairing, beautifying my home are fantasy. They are taking much longer than in my fantasies but those things are really happening! I’ve made so much progress and YOU have been a big part of that! I’m still determined that getting healthier has to stay on the table because, if I’m not healthy, then none of the rest really matters. 🤷‍♀️. Can’t wait to read your novel!! Thanks for all the inspiration, motivation, & fantastic ideas!❤️❤️

    Fantasy Jess says no to chips and queso when she's not hungry and she actually goes back to watercolor painting. Fantasy Jess loses 15 pounds and gets a job she is qualified for (not the bad ones she seems to think she deserves). I do like fantasy Jess...

    I love that you labeled the lids of the spice jars.
    My dad taught me a trick that I use on prescription and medicine bottles. On Rx bottles lids, using a sharpie, I put the abbreviated name of the med (like BUP 300), including the strength if you take two different doses of the same med. When you get a refill, just put the old marked lid on the new bottle. On pain relievers/allergy/etc bottles, I put the # of tablets and how often (4x6 hrs). Let’s face it. The directions on the bottle labels are so tiny, you need a microscope to read them.

    Wow, it's truly amazing on how just a few small organizers can transform a space so much! We re-did our kitchen over a year and a half ago. I decant a lot now and label bins and such in my pantry and it's amazing! For the most part it stays pretty tidy and organized, especially since it's a no brainer where stuff goes! My fantasy self will have my craft room the same way someday, and my bedroom will become a sanctuary instead of a hot mess express of stuff just being dumped, and I will also get back to the gym and back to feeling motivated, energized, and productive. *sigh

    You may of just saved my life. Literally! No one understands me but you do. I to just got a new kitchen. I thought that would save me and I love it. But it's not saving me because with all that space and counterspace. It's still a huge mess. One thing at a time. Thanks

    • @valeriesittle6198
      @valeriesittle6198 Před rokem

      I had that same problem with my new kitchen and decided to add small shelves to the counter tops. One is for small appliances that are put together. Another two small shelf units were added to the sides of the stove to use vertical space with a narrow counter space on each side of the stove. Since I didn't have upper cabinets added for a wall of windows that I wanted I had to downsize my dishes to shelves also. That was easy because now they can be seen and easily reached for. Just try to go vertical as much as you can 🥫.

    Love how nice everything looked after you organized it all! Eager to read your zombie apocalypse novel. :) When I have a project that I know will take a lot of time, I tell myself I just need to do at least something on it each day. That's how I sewed an entire crib set and bumper years ago for my daughter. Some days I only cut out one small piece or sewed one seam, but other days I had the time and energy to do a whole lot. It was the daily commitment to it that did the trick and helped me not feel overwhelmed like I would if I'd tried to do it all at once. That way I didn't feel bad if I only did one tiny thing because I was still accomplishing my goal of doing something each day. Best of luck to you in your writing!

    I love the look of the pantry with the beautiful bins and containers. I've always wondered what you do with the extra stuff that won't fit in the container. Do you just have to store it somewhere else? Same thing about spices...they look wonderful decanted into matching spice jars but where do you keep the extra that doesn't fit in the pretty new jar?

    Love to hear your intention to finish your novel. I realize this is 10 months after posting this video but wanted to share one of the things I’ve used to help me with my own writing, is writing 500 words or half an hour whichever comes first. No editing, editing comes when the first draft of the novel is done. If you’ve already finished, maybe you can try it for novel number 2. All the best!

  • @eathealthier4u

    After reading the comments, I must make one more. I've recently found out I'm an older adult and always had ADHD, I'm undiagnosed, they just didn't catch that sort of thing back in the day. With cleaning, I just never caught up, but with the new method I've started, I am starting to make much much more progress!!! I have limited time because I work alot so that has a lot to do with it, but ADHD means that I get distracted and I get overwhelmed easily. I set a timer, and I concentrate on one room and only that one room, with a list of stuff I can do (it's really never the same - I try to pick the item that I haven't done for awhile) - my list looks like this: sweep floor, mop floor, dust, declutter two areas in the room. I never get the WHOLE list done, but I take notes and next time I hit the areas I didn't get to last time. I used to only do ONE room per day, but I've added items like: "Catch up straightening one area" for those areas that I am missing. I've also added another catagory "Start or work on ONE project in the project pile". I keep a project pile in one spot, and there is only room enough for about 7-8 small projects. If there is no room, my bargain with myself is one project has to go for me to keep the project in my hand. I have purged quite a few projects that way, because honestly, when am I going to get to the other 7-8? It will take me a year to get to those and complete them. So every time I find a new project, IT'S DECISION TIME. I'm still finding old projects tucked away and or in boxes. My future self is pissed off at my past self. Her lazy butt is going to have a beatdown.
