I've heard SO many comments from Americans referring to or worried that a young person (12-14) is doing "child labor" 🤣🤣🤣 We are so removed from hard work here it's crazy. Just because a child isn't playing video games or on a smart phone and are doing physical work or chores does not mean they are forgoing education to do hard labor 12 hours a day in dangerous conditions... Letting children do a lot for themselves creates good self-esteem. How many of us rolled our eyes when our mothers taught us to do our own laundry, cook and clean? I was SO grateful to be the only one who knew how to do these things and take care of myself when I went off to college. Flee from idleness. Hard work is good for the soul! 💪🏽
“Children are capable.” 💯 AMEN!
Involving children in daily tasks that need to be done in a home is just education! It’s stuff that will help them when they move out :)
I have a 2 year old and lots of times he gets bored when I run the chores, so I started to give him tasks. He fetches a laundry basket and helps me put the freshly washed clothes into it. I peel potatoes and he "washes" them.
Or his favourite is baking cake or making waffles, because he snacks one or two spoons of dough.
I hope that he continues to be so engaged. He feels proud of himself if he does something right and I get to spend more quality time with him.
However it wasn't easy for me to include him in the beginning since everything takes longer or can get messier.
Yes. I am so bad at bedtime. I need to hide my phone in a different room. I hate being addicted to my phone. I miss the house landline phone!
Okay I am about to be 33, I have one two year old, and one 4 month old and your videos completely blow my mind. I'm like the least "routine" human by nature, but my husband is very routine, and having kids kinda sealed the deal 😂. Routine is the only way to survive. Note to any of the other overwhelmed new Mama's out there, don't confuse having a routine with the expectation that everything will go according to plan.. just because things don't always work out, doesn't mean your routine failed. You got this.
Omg, this just hit me so hard! Thank you for pointing out that routines with kids are not a complete failure just because the result is not perfect. I was struggling so hard since becoming a mom with this.
@@SunFlower-xu5zx I had the same struggle, (and still catch myself occasionally after a particularly rough day struggling with this). It's a good thing to remember. Best wishes to you and your family ❤️
Girlfriend!!! Where have you been???
You have put into words everything I feel and live daily!!!
Thank you for the amazing video!!!
Thank you for #6!
A “yes” to certain opportunities is a “no” to your family and children. I felt it, but you were able to verbalize it. Thank you, Angela!
“I like the way King Julian says bowwdy” 😂😂😂 you’re so funny and real, I love your content!
100% with you on kids helping. They will THANK you when they become an adult. My adult kids will agree.
"Lost.... more confused at the end than the beginning"😂😂😂
❤ I just had my first baby 11 days ago. But have watched your videos for years and hope to be half the mom you are! Thanks for sharing all the wisdom!
Congratulations on the birth of your child!❤
@@BobbiMac08 thank you so much!
Congrats on the baby. 💕
Congratulations! Enjoy these times. I also like learning from CharacterConcepts here on YT. She has 14 children hence a ton of experience…. Congrats again! Exciting times for you! Hard at times, but amazing!
You got this momma congratulations You will be amazing
It’s not missing out on childhood, it’s preparing for adulthood. Learning life skills is survival ….
Bingo! We’ve got an “adulting crisis” because of kids who “never missed out on childhood”
Yes! Kids are so capable! I am amazed by how clean my 4 kids, 7 and younger, can clean a room when they're motivated by TV or video games afterwards. Once I discovered that secret, it took so much stress off my shoulders!
Love this! It’s how I motivate myself too sometimes 😂
“Children will rise to the occasion” Amen!
I absolutely agree with you about involving children
We need help and it's a life skill too
You're lucky to have been able to watch LOST in two weeks! I had to wait it out for like six years. And.....it confused me deeply, hahaha.
I love what you said about movement - it is amazing how Motion helps us get unstuck emotionally + physically
I'm not a mom just yet, but I'm a 21 year old homemaker at the moment and at first it was no problem doing household duties but as of lately i have become LAZY! I still cook and bake every now and then, and keep up on laundry, and dishes but I want to be able to acquire these skills and hacks so that i can have a happy home and still make time.
It gives me hope for the future knowing there are people like you instilling truly good values in children.
Yes have your kids help! They love to be helpers and they love it even more when you ask them to ask then them always asking you!🙏💜
Self licking ice cream cone - rock on mamma! I do most of these and it was really refreshing to have an echo chamber of “if you know what to do - go do that - go towards the things that are life giving “
You are very good at putting your feeling or what’s going on around you into words!! It’s a skill I’m trying to get better at. How you said “ my body dosnt track time well” that was brilliant lol I would of never thought to say it that way.
I get you with the “Lost” series & I was none the wiser at the end too! 😂
Lord have mercy. Title alone got a 👍. Not lazy.. Just a tired momma here.
Haha!! I thought the same thing!😆👍✨️
Yes, she misspelled "overwhelmed" but it's ok, we still love her😉 Lol these tips are amazing!
For me, it's more self proclaimed "lazy" in the least derogatory way. The definition is something like "unwilling to use energy" and society has turned that into a negative thing or insult. Society and capitalism. When actually, I am absolutely lazy by definition. I would like the things that are necessary for day to day life to take as little physical and emotional energy as possible. Because I don't want to expend that and waste it on things I'd rather not be doing. I'll save it for the fun stuff.
Sorry, that turned into another of my rambles.
@@mchambers8366 My son got an eating disorder from his teacher. Try again. You don't know the sh*t that goes on in school.
I love your sense of humor and all of your videos. So down to earth and practical but just so fun to listen to ❤
I love that… 15 times more effort to get from 89-100 than from 0-89.
Had to chuckle at the usage of the verbage "chillax"...so funny and it hit home😉
Great tips! Can you do a video on how to keep up your health as a busy mum? Like what supplements you take and other tips to increase energy levels as a mum.
“Dilly darndest” bahahahaha!! I have four boys ages nine and under. Really needed that laugh 😂
Thank you for the part about kids & responsibilities! I so agree and wish this would get shouted out high & low. Work, responsibilities & consequences of actions need to taught to our children - our world needs it badly. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I like that you said it doesn't matter where you fall on the minimalism track. It is like you can be a maximalist and live in 200 square feet and use it all beautifully but if you moved it into 1000 square feet you would look like you didn't own anything and "needed to shop", or in reverse, someone with a massive home who may be a "minimalist" with the bare essentials for their 10,000 square foot home, could never move their minimalism into the 200 square feet without extreme downsizing, it just literally would not fit despite the fact the person was an extreme minimalist. If you have big closets keep them organized just like if you had small closets and vice versa. If stuff that belongs in a closet doesn't fit you may need to make some choices whether it's to bring in other storage, use the item in a different location or to purge things.
I keep all of my clothes hanging in my one closet. The only things that are elsewhere is my pj's and bras/panties and leggings, they all are in a bench at the end of my bed. Sooo if things don't fit I have to go through the bench and get rid of the stuff I forgot I owned. With my closet it is an 8 foot rod with one shelf, it s a walk in and I have a bin with linens in there but all my clothes hang, if they don't fit on the rod its time to look to see what the heck. I don't go buy more hangers are look for a place to keep the things or buy storage containers to keep the things I am not using. I am far from organized but doing simple tasks like putting my laundry away is super easy! I grab my hangers and toss them on the bed, and add everything then carry it to the closet and hang it up! Any pjs etc get put in the bench. It is about a 6 min job that honestly used to take me an hour or more and things ended up on the floor or I lived out of laundry baskets bc I had no space. When I think back to older homes in this town, many of the houses are as wide as a door, it had a knob like any door and opened and the space behind the door was the entire closet! Then I think to the fact that these homes often had a dozen children and their standards of clean homes were much higher than mine and they managed to keep linens, clothes, toys, books, etc down to absolute needs and essentials and that tiny closet held it for everyone who shared that tiny bedroom! It's so crazy how much we "need" and keep when you compare to what were much harder times.
Very wise points. Thanks for sharing.
My hubs and I use Asana for our running task list/to do lists/task assignments and it’s AMAZING. He has his PMP and he introduced it to me. My life will never be the same! I know that some people are like, “I have to write things down on paper,” but I’m telling you… it’s life changing. No need to set alarms on your phone or write it on your calendar. You can put tasks on repeat, assign tasks to other people, and have different views/formats… can’t say enough about it.
Thank you for talking about involving kids, and what we’re creating by not including them. More people need to see it this way. You are doing the Lord’s work out here.
I can relate to you so well. I think our minds work similarly. I’m that lady that would tell your little chicken-running-with-the-worm story to whoever happens to be on the phone at the moment. Even if it’s the internet company
I do rhythms of the day too! My kids stay home with me so we don’t have to eat at a set time but there is an order in which things get done during the day!
Yoir videos are so refreshing! Learning a lot as a first time mom of a hyperactive boy.
Thank you so much, Angie!!!
This is so good for both my husband and I!!! He doesn't like schedules because he grew up with none... it's been a struggle, but he is coming around and has listened to your videos along these lines!!! I grew up with a strict schedule, or else, and so I'm trying to move into the middle so we can meet up peacefully, lol, and we are getting there! I stuggle physically, and He is such a helpful person, so i can not be too picky as I could be without any help!! But thank you for putting these helpful tips and balanced ideas out there!!! ♡
I LIVE by alerts and random notes!!
"It's a self licking icecream cone." There's a quote. Lol
Amen and Amen! (regarding involving children in being responsible family members)
Thank you for keeping me smiling while you encourage me.
"It's a self-licking ice cream cone..." 😂
Loving this series! I needed this today. Thanks Angie! 🥰
Thank you!
Enjoying this series! Especially tip #7. Thanks for sharing 👍
Love this series thanks !!!
❤ I loved this video! Thanks for the series that you're doing. My favorite was #9!
Great tips Angie. You turned me on to the Masterclass for sleep a while back and I loved it. You might be interested in Dr. Lustig who is kind of the guy over circadian biology, light and health and his research showing that every time we look at our smart phones we have an insulin spike. You can imagine the average person touches their smart phone more than 200 x per day- that's a lot of insulin spikes for our bodies to moderate. After reading the research I decided to use Alexa for reminders when I am home and a tiny little adorable notebook in my purse for when I am out to write down those reminders to cut down on the impact. I am actually going to start wearing a CGM(continuous glucose monitor) to see if it's a thing for me but it is very interesting research. :)
Thank you, wonderful balanced approach! And thanks for always keeping it real 😊
Amazing how you put that all in words that make us stand up and listen.thanks
I loved this video. Finally found someone whose brain seems to work like mine
I could sit and listen to you all day Ang🤍😍😍 I wish the podcast would make a come back lol
Wow love this video!! Another good one! Exactly what I followed you for. Thank you mama!
Fantastic video. You said things perfectly. Definitely agree on your points with children.
Really loving your hair right now ❤
I just recently discovered your channel, but definitely love your approach! Its nice to come across like minded people on CZcams 😊
Very, very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you, this is amazing, I had to share to my Facebook page,I have heard some topics like this before but you but it in to real life
As a Type A personality, I approve of this video 🤣Seriously though, this is right on point. I do most of these things already and you just confirmed it for me. Thanks Ang!!
You are beautiful!!!! How do you look so good with such a large family and keeping up with it all? I live in Lexington, SC.
I label my alarms (iPhone). Set alarm for when I need to START getting ready to transition, I get one snooze, then I need to be out the door.
Thank you, Angie, I love you and your videos,you teach me so much! Also,I have to mention, you look very nice in green.
Oh girl!! Excellent video ☺️
Thank you.
I just love to hear you talk! Miss your videos on your other channel with all your DITL
We are such twinsies,lol.... "don't be like Scarlett O'Hara, I'll think about it tomorrow"....you read my mail, friend🤣!
10:05 Preach, girl!
Love the way you phrase things 'self licking ice cream' 🤯
So agree about involving the children in chores. They are part of the family and family is a community so they should participate. My kids did and they are that much better for it.
what a list of ways to help improve our lives! I will say that I tend to agree with all nine. I struggle with to do lists now, I haven't always, that and using a calendar and looking ahead is one of the ways that I really need to improve on! One of the things that I have decided this year was that I wanted to try and be more involved in my granddaughters activities. She lives 1 1/2 hours from me and now that I have a little more free time, I am semi-retired, I want that to be a priority. however.....I am meeting obstinacy from my husband, who still works full time and doesn't want me on the road. so, we shall see how much I buck him on this! thanks for sharing! xoxo looking forward to the next installment!
I find that YT takes me way too long to stop and get doing something else!!
Thank you for these helpfull tips.
I also love the fun parts in your video's about the chicken and king Julian😂 always makes me laugh.
I am a mom of 2 under 3 and I was into schedules, but not anymore since it made me so overwelmed and tired. I find rithm much more relaxed living. Including help from kids and husband or another family member does A LOT too.
You're just so easy to listen to. Not sure how you made a productivity how to relaxing, but kudos 👏 I love the ❤ behind this, thanks for the wisdom.
Hi! I was just wondering are you ever going to show family vlogs again? That's why I subscribed so long ago as I love seeing your beautiful family! ♥
I’m not a mum just someone with ADHD you help me so much ❤ Also where are we getting the rug burn from hey 😜 Kidding sorry I couldn’t help myself I have a dirty mind 😂😂
I don't understand how people don't give their children a sense of responsibility but expect them to grow up to become productive adults. That just baffles me.
I’ve never been able to be so regimented. It seems to suck all the joy out of life.
Staying up late binge watching Lost, ha! I laughed bc my hubby and I did that same thing many years ago when k was preggo with my second , lol so not worth it and the ending was such a bizarre way to end and it would give me the weirdest nightmares
Where did you get the picture that was behind you? The vase with the greenery
I'm type A. You're funny n i enjoy your videos, tq for sharing. Lina from KL, Malaysia 😊.
Thank you so much!! These tips are vital to me right now. Starting a new job outside the home for the first time in 8 years - I’ve been working from home, and I’m anxious about being able to do it all as a single (widowed) parent. I love your videos! Thanks again!! ❤
Bless you Michelle! Do you have a solid church for support? Definitely let folks help you!
Omg! Yes!💯
Love when you do “day in the life”videos or around the farm chores/happenings. Less tips videos:)
Finally another Granny! Yay! I thought I was the only Granny around. Love my sleep
All of this is amazing-including that the end of Lost was 🗑️ GARBAGE!!! These tips have massively helped me, and continue to help me, feel better about how I’m using my time. Thanks for sharing!
Amen sister
Is your decluttering printable you mentioned on this video still available? Thank you for your videos.
I needed the kick in the butt this video and the last dished out. 😅
Your last video just popped up for me yesterday and I hadn't heard of you before, but wow! I am impressed! You speak directly to me as a Catholic, homeschool, homesteading, mostly from scratch momma of 4 littles currently. Most people say oh you can't be lazy, look at everything you do, but I truly am lazy and apathetic wanting to be more productive.
There is a good podcast called, “lazy genius” - be genius about what matters, lazy about what doesn’t.
How in the world do you have 2-3 channels and edit all your videos by yourself? And…have time to research research video topics and…take care of your family & homeschool? 😅
Some women are super heros! 🎉
I just stoped watching videos about being productive and I magically became productive....life hack i guess.
^^^^ HUSBAND wrote this when I was in the other room with this paused. I AM cleaning as I watch...but.. hahahahaha.
He doesn't get that this stuff actually !!motivates!! me to quit being lazy!
where is the declutter info? thanks!
I also cannot stand being late!
😊amen sister on making kids help with chores
I deal with this quandary every day due to chronic illness and depression, a pending divorce I didn’t choose isn’t helping AT ALL.
Off topic-I hope CR had a spectacular birthday 🎂
I send you a big hug! 😗🤗🤗🤗
You are going through so so much right now please don’t be hard on your self and feel like you have to get everything done, praying for you and your situation.
Aww, bless your heart♡ thats so tough!
I have an autoimmune system disease, Alpha Gal syndrome, and fybromyalgia. All of which cause depressions... anxiety attacks have become part of my struggle in the last 3yrs ♡♡ I am currently carrying our double rainbow baby, and we couldn't be more thankful, but I'm pre diabetes and hypertension at just 10 weeks already... I didn't know that the prednisone I took last year made me diabetic... so I'm being sent to a Critical Care OB Unit to get baby checked for abnormalities ♡ I have a 5 and 3 yr and we are in the middle of getting our whole life switched to another state 8hrs away ♡ my dad has been in the hospital with brain bleed and then a staff infection and my mom is housebound due to alot going on with her physical. It's up to me as the only child living near them to get them to all their appointments and mine own 🤪 I do it gladly though ♡♡ God is helping us!!
It's such a struggle for me as well to get normal household duties done as I can't seem to catch a breath to slow down... But 🤞🏼 I hope to do so soon!!!♡ I am blessed with a husband who is a very helpful person. He does so much for me around the home, and I'm so grateful for him!!!♡ I can't imagine losing him on top of everything... I hope you have friends who care and are supporting you♡🙏🏼
@@kindnessmatters4068 I also have autoimmune diseases and FM. I came from a fertility struggle in my very early 20s. Many of our stories are similar. I pray this baby comes earthside and you’re both well.
@Amy Bostic thank you much♡
10:49 Cheering!!! Yes!!! Involve your children. For heaven’s sake, involve your children!
Can you please link the decluttering info - or am I blind lol
Also, if you can't organize your home, you can spend a lot of time finding a place to put something.
We 👏🏻 are 👏🏻 the 👏🏻 same 👏🏻 person 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
