Day 2 of our TIME TO SHINE challenge, woo hoo! Today we are doing something a little different... Comment below with a) how you feel BEFORE you do your Routine and b) how you feel AFTERWARDS! I'm excited to hear what you think - rah, rah, rah! 🎉🎉🎉😍
I was dreading my routines. But today I’m feeling much better about them! Thanks, Diane!
I didn't want to do them and felt lazy. After the routines I felt great after because I got them done and didn't have to worry about them! I got more energy to do other things!
Thanks Diane -routines done -lightness of spirit resulting.
Diane, I was feeling ‘busy’ in my head before my routine this morning. I have surgery in a week and I want to get a lot of things done before I go as I will be in hospital for three weeks and then out of action for some time afterwards. But after doing my morning routine, checking things off my list for today, I was a lot ‘calmer’ in my head. If I keep following my list, things will get done and I will be happier. Thank you so much for so many wonderful tips and ideas, you’ve got no idea how much you’ve helped me over the last few years. 😊
Felt a bit slow this morning but I did my morning routine (made my bed, 5 min kitchen clean, 5 min bathroom clean and a load of laundry) and now I feel organised and motivated afterwards!
I think routines are a form of self-care. 😊 (Before routine--felt tired. After routine--felt accomplished. Rah, rah, rah!)
Yes, same here! 😊
Morning routine done today!✅
Dishwasher unloaded
LOL on
Bed made
Not yet dressed to shoes though!
Will aim to add that in tomorrow!!
Thanks for cheering us on Diane🎉🎉🎉
In a separate note I decluttered jewellery at the weekend. All old sentimental costume jewellery is GONE!
Feel I have really developed decluttering muscles! Would NEVER have been able to do that previously x
Being retired , I have very little structure to my days. These cleaning routines are basically habits now which I do quickly in the morning and evening. Thanks for reminding me how important they are.
I definitely feel more positive when I am keeping up with my routines. It is such a pleasure to see a clean si k at breakfast time.😊
I always feel a sense of accomplishment when I do my routines, in contrast to the “stress” of knowing g they’re still be done
I’m in my 60’s and still working, so find morning and evening routines helpful, so I can be out of the door on time.
I always feel much better when I follow my routines, and have a paper planner to write things in. As you said, my brain feels so much lighter.
Life can get overwhelming fast here with 6 children in single digits! While I often wonder if I really can spare the time to make my bed and get myself presentable as multiple small ones clamor for food, drink, help with whatever, it's so true that starting off with a few little accomplishments makes me feel so much more cheerful and mentally prepared to be more present and productive.
❤
I'm similar. 5 ,single digits. Diane such a great help.
The key for me is to get up before they do. ❤
You can do it!!
I so wish I had found Diane when my children were little. I just want to encourage you that every little bit helps, and you can do it!
I always feel overwhelmed and no motivation before my routines. And after I’ve done them, I feel great. I’m proud of myself 😊
Me too!
Doing my routines are sometimes so challenging because I’m living with a chronic illness. However, I’ve simplified those routines, reduced the time I’m spending on them and as a result I’m getting at least something done. This gives me a huge sense of calm and I’m able to enjoy my quiet time so much more 😊
The routines are so impactful, even if it's just a few simple things. I close my kitchen every evening and waking up to a clean and tidy kitchen is such a great way to start the day!
Hi Diane, I don't know what it is: as soon as I hear your voice, I have an urge to do the dishes🤣🤣.I decided to do my evening routine now right after I do my dishes: 5 min pick up, brush my teeth ( so I wouldn't be tempted to eat more), wash and moisturize my face ( sometimes when I left this for too late I was tempted to skip it 🤨. So far its working out for me.
When I've been away from home for a while it is so good to come home to my routines! I do so much better when I can follow, especially my morning routines!
My morning and evening routines have become natural to me. I don't think about whether or not I want to do them. I just do them as I would any other form of self care. I have grown to find comfort in them.
So true, even if you don’t feel like doing your routine - get it done and it feels so much better 🎉
My routines keep me grounded and centered. Some I want to do, some I do not, but I always feel better after they are done. ❤
Hi Diane, actually the time it takes to accomplish my morning and evening routines takes less time than I think they will and it pays off enormously. They save time in the long run not to mention reducing stress and freeing up more time during the day. See you tomorrow! Wendy in Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you Diane, I have been going through so much, my grand daughter has lukemia and our whole family is in chaos. I have just been sticking to the fly lady system and routines. Focusing on shining my sink has become like meditation and the routines are so healing because I am almost on autopilot. I have even enlisted my other grandchildren, 3 of them in setting thier daily routines and it has helped them through this difficult time. My sick granddaughter is 4yeas old and she has 2 sisters 6 and 8 and a brother who is 7. We are all working along with you each day and it makes or day lighter. Thanks again for being you, you make such a difference to so many lives ❤
Before my routine I feel that it's going to be difficult to get anything done that day. After my routines I feel that anything is possible 😊
I've rebooted my habit of writing down and brain dumping everything that needs to be done this week and in the future each Sunday. It helps getting all that out of my brain and then I use that "brain dump" to plan my week.
I was doing that, but got out of the habit. I was discouraged as I had multiple pages of lists of todo's, and so many weren't crossed off. Some that were, now needed to be done again! I think I will just discard those lists and try again. Thanks.
I am still easily overwhelmed at the sight of a messy/cluttered room. It doesn't matter whose mess it is, i always feel overwhelmed first. But the routines and especially the movement and quick turn around lifts my mood every time.
Before - chaos
After - accomplished and peaceful
Love my routines makes life so much easier 🎉🎉
Yes, using my diary helps me focus and reduces overwhelm. Routines rock!
Routines are my best friend…without them I struggle and right now I have my 17 year old granddaughter living with me so more than ever they are important…don’t get me wrong sometimes it would be easier just to let them slide some nights after work but I have this mindset, my future self will be grateful I did them. Thank you for the reset.
I start a lot of my days with some anxiety. But, as the routine gets accomplished I feel less anxious and warmed up to face the day.
Made a special effort to do my evening routine last night and get to bed (felt like I was a step ahead for the morning). This morning, it was a big help that my tea makings were all set up. Bed was quickly made. After exercise, I made a real effort to get dressed in street clothes.Set's up the day beautifully. Yes, routines make the day go smoother. Thanks, Diane.
Good morning, Diane! For my Tuesday Plan and Play, I will be planning next week's dinner menus so that I can have my grocery list ready for Thursday shopping. I'm trying to make this a habit so that my weekends are prepping food and having fun - no grocery shopping needed on the weekends. It can be so hard to implement a new habit!
I pretty much always start my days at a level 2 - lack of motivation and needing to make myself do things other than watching CZcams 😌. I am implementing the morning routine the last few weeks and always feel better afterwards. Today I even accomplished a procrastination task later in the afternoon. Something about your encouragement and energy, Diane, is so inspirational.
The routines enable me to be positive and relaxed. Personally it has become a form of self care. Also, I know tasks will continue silently hollering at me and I’m much happier after they are completed 😂😊❤
It was gloomy outside this morning and I didn't really want to go out with my tea but I did and was rewarded with a rosy sunrise glow on the clouds. Truly enjoyable.
I have felt MUCH better after I get dressed in the morning. Today I'm adding an evening routine...get to bed earlier. I'm going to make that a goal for the rest of the week👍🤞👍
Made the bed, freed the sheep, fed the cats, cleaned the litter trays (and went out to the garbage bins down the road), brought in wood for heating (cold snap this week), did a lol, and this afternoon, I'll be tackling my taxes. I always feel more relaxed once the animals and wood are done for the day.
Have had a morning routine for years and it works well for my family. The evening routine is chaotic but last night decided to lay out clothes for the morning. I also plan to simplify my dinners to cut down on dishes and cleanup time. The weather is improving in Northern California and it would be nice to enjoy the evening weather. Perhaps tomorrow I will refine my evening routine a little better.
Leveling up my evening routine! I always set up the coffee machine and wipe down the kitchen, but I've added a daily kitchen sweep, entryway sweep, and change the kitchen and coffee station towels, now too! My future morning self is really loving this extra loving touch! ❤😊
Before doing my routines, I feel like I will not be able to do them, I feel overwhelmed . After doing my routines, I feel like "well, what next ? Ready to tackle more than I would ever think + ready to really enjoy free time for me 😊" Thank you Diane 😘🥰😘
I'm focusing on my evening routine this week, which is hard for me because I'm such a morning person. Even though I was tired, I cleaned up the Kitchen as I cooked dinner and I did a PUPA session before relaxing in the evening, and it felt so much better. The timer really motivates me! It makes tidying more fun when I become Mary Poppins for 10 minutes at a time! 😉😜💖
I managed to do my morning routine and some upkeep cleaning tasks AND the 15 mins of zone cleaning! Living room looks so much better now. So happy for your free content without annoying ads! 🎉
Before routines I feel ‘heavy’ and sluggish and after the routines I feel lighter ~ physically and mentally with a real sense of achievement. Many thanks to you 😍xx
I went to bed the other night exhausted & feeling run down - without shining my sink & putting the last of the glasses in the dishwasher. I actually got up out of bed 10mins later & went out to finish my night time routine because I thought just how grateful I would be in the morning to come out & see my kitchen shiny & clear ✨
My routines keep me grounded. This morning I overslept and had some anxiety about getting out the door in time, but by moving through my usual routines step by step, thinking ahead to the next thing, I got out the door in time and everything got done before I left! I was pleased with myself, the anxiety went away, and I knew I'd be coming back to a calm house and not a chaotic one!
I always feel better and a little bit proud, when I have done at least the most important things on my routines list.
Its 7pm here, morning routine done, going to do a LOL, quick tidy round, pjs on and tv with a craft project for the eve......I can enjoy my evening knowing things are under control 🎉
Only the second day of following routines. Unbelievable how easy. Just do it ! 🎉🎉🎉
Doing the routines made me feel light and energized and guilt free!
Hi Diane, The Spring sunshine and flowers and you of course help motivate me to declutter and tidy my home. 🏠
Freedom in routines, who knew?! 😊
You're absolutely right Diane, the routine and a little bit of extra thought makes a huge difference
When the routine is completed, I feel relaxed.
Im tired but to make you proud Diane im getting out the hoover. Go go me.🤸🏼♀️
I’m listening to this many days late. One night I was tired and didn’t want to was my face. But I did it anyway and I was so proud of myself. Last night I didn’t want to wash my face and I didn’t. I don’t feel as good about that.
I am binge watching yours videos. They are fantastic !!
Me too!
I am enjoying this series. Making an effort to do more in the morning routine when my energy is best is really helpful.
❤
Routines make me feel more peaceful after I finish them and they also help the next day go better.
I always feel better once my routines are done!🦋
I'm usually pretty tired, but after doing my morning routine, I feel like my motor is warmed up and ready to go!
My morning and evening routines have become “routine” thanks to your channel. However for those few days I miss something I’m frazzled and my day just starts off on the wrong foot. When I’m visiting my sister out of town I’ll still do my routines!😂😂 thank u for your time and effort in doing your posts/videos!
I've been doing morning and evening routines for awhile. I found they helped me not feel so guilty about "all the things I was behind on" - because I knew I would get to them each day.
All the usual morning routines done , several errands completed now time for a refreshing cup of tea 🎉 🎉 Thank you
Very crabby and tired before, relieved and cheerful afterwards! And all it took was finishing the laundry and putting the dishes away, and taking fish out of the freezer for dinner.
Morning routine done and LOL, I just do it automatically each day and I feel ready for the day. Did 10 mins cleaning mirrors and glass. I never feel like doing housework but the 10 mins with a timer on really makes me whizz round and I feel so much better once it's done. The timer has been a game changer for me. I'm now working on getting my outfit for the next day organised in the morning because I kept forgetting about that until I sat on the sofa in the evening then...I couldn't get off my bahookie! x
I often entertain my daughter's Golden Retriever. While she is working, the grand-dog and I have fun. I find that a quick vacuum every night after a visit is quick and effective in dealing with lots of golden fur.
That’s so sweet that you watch her dog! 💛 And great idea to vacuum right after. Great job!
I often feel like my routines are overkill UNTIL I get them done and realize they are essential to my peace. Still looking to bring this kind of consistent routine structure to my work life.
Thanks, Diane!
I always feel cheerier when the routines are done and dusted! 😃
I can hear you in my head saying - You don’t need to like doing them, just do them!! 🤣
Hi Diane, when I don't do my routines, I say to myself I got to do it, then when I have completed my routines, I feel at peace. You have helped me so much.
I have been doing morning and evening routines for a few years, since I found you on CZcams. They are very helpful. I don’t question if I’ve emptied the dishwasher, for example. It’s done. It was part of the routine. Thanks for all you do ❤
Hi Diane
My routines saved me today! Literally. I prepped all day yesterday for my Colonoscopy this morning and had to wake up at 4 AM this morning. I was feeling pretty tired but I went through my morning routine like a robot 🤖
You’ve really helped me by getting these things ingrained into my brain 😅
Thanks Diane!
Rah 🎉 rah rah
This is my day two for resetting after being sick with a terrible bronchitis. It felt so good to finish my routines, especially changoing our sheets today. But even better, while my husband and I were both sick it was the Fly Lady shine your sink and make your bed as our keystone habits that kept our house falling apart. Diane, this would be a great playlist on your channel.
I feel much more capable after doing my morning routine. I had been telling myself I couldn’t do them right now because I have a baby but your reminder encouraged me to at least try and it worked! Even if it takes longer than it used to.
Morgenroutine klappt ohne Probleme, die anderen Routinen funktionieren am besten, wenn ich mir immer wieder sage "ein Schritt nach dem anderen".
I loved the pressure cooker visual. I felt it. I have to use a fiberglass cleaner to clean my shower. Our well water stains it and that is the only thing that will work. I have had the bucket and gloves sitting out all week. I lots of excuses- no time, no motivation, etc. This morning I got off my ba-hookey and got it done. It did not take long and boy, did I feel a 'release' when I walked out of the bathroom! Routines are amazing! If only more stressed people could understand the power of daily routines! Thanks!
I slept in again. As I am newly retired, I am realising many things can be changed about how i do things. I did the first part of my routines and then had a doctor appt. I came home and did nothing for a while, then saw this video. I got up and completed my mirning routine, and made my lunch. I felt so lazy before, but now i will try to catch up on all i have procrastinated so far this week. Thank you!
I’ve been working with my routines for about two years so I feel grounded and comfortable with them. They bookend my days - in the morning, among other things, I take my meds and decide what’s for dinner and in the evening I organize the next day’s meds and exercise clothes and set out the coffee and breakfast things (and shine my sink, of course). Since I retired, my days lack the old structure and, usually, urgency. The routines provide a kind of framework that helps me get going every day and wind down every evening. I fret less and enjoy my free time more, knowing I can count on the basics being done.
I was dreading doing the routines but once I got started I also got a lot more than expected, once i get going I'm moving and quickly making progress. I got my evening routine finished early last night and morning routine finished today. Thanks for all your encouragement and time. It is greatly appreciated!
Before: winter weary, like I wanted to lie around all day
After: energized and excited about what I had done in the living room
I actually didn't do my routines yesterday 😱
But I think I have a valid excuse for once.
One of my best friends randomly decided to invite me and a few other stressed out Moms for a well needed dinner out together.
We've never done anything like this before but it was amazing!
Getting to just be yourself and let go of responsibility for a night was really invigorating and I feel so ready to jump back into my routines today!
So don't worry Diane, I'm not getting off track, I feel more motivated than ever! 🥰
Ive had a sick toddler for a few days and unfortunately he usnt able to sleep well at all si weve been having restless nights (trouble breathing) and shirt fitful naps instead if the usual 2.5-3 hours in the afternoon. He's not sleeping, im not sleeping and today ive started to feel sick too 😢 but... I still got a load of laundry in, breakfast cleaned up and we can spend the majority of the day snuggling and reading so overall still a win! 🎉
Morning routine done ✅ Still working out what my best evening routine looks like. I always feel better about getting on with the day when I complete my morning routine. 🙌🏼
Motion is lotion, as the saying goes, and I feel that every day when I do my morning routine. I wake up feeling stiff and sore, and as I move through the routines, everything loosens up, and I feel so much better. And that’s jut the physical change. The feeling of “mental lightness” is another huge benefit.
What a rough day this was. A sick toddler and absolutely nothing going to plan. On days such as these, I will sometimes give in to temptation and skip the evening routine (kitchen/PUPA/sweep floors). Thank goodness for a husband that does dishes, sometimes part or all of the evening routine doesn't have to be done by mom!
So here is a version of my evening routine - We are living at the family vacation home at the moment and do not have the same set-up as at home.
1. 5-minute PUPA - not necessary as the living area is decluttered
2. Reboot laundry - includes outfit for tomorrow - no laundry done today however, I picked out my outfit for the morning.
3. Advanced meal prep - Hubby and I will travel early in the morning for approximately 3 hours and have lunch at our destination. This will be our main meal; however, I made a mental note of what to have for supper upon returning from our trip.
4. Clean kitchen - My husband cleaned up the kitchen and started the dishwasher after supper this evening
5. Plan tomorrow - Checked the calendar and planned the route for travel tomorrow.
6. Launchpad - laptop and bags at door ready for the trip early tomorrow morning.
Doing my routines has been helping me heal and recover after surgery and it absolutely made me feel excited and elated for the rest of the day after intentionally focusing yesterday! In fact not only did I feel better I ate healthier and slept better! I find that routines can be a little gift of love to me... From me ❤❤
I'm excited to do my morning & evening routines thanks to your guided help. I feel a sense of accomplishment when I'm done. Thank you Diane!!😊💜
Well, I definitely was dragging my butt about doing anything today but made myself do the simple routines and I feel like I accomplished something and proud of myself!
Did my mini evening routine at my daughter's- started dishwasher, shine the sink and wipe down the kitchen. I feel great. Time for videos!!
I agree that having routines is a great help. I remember times when I would start some cleaning project, and get too focused on it that I would neglect other things. Not always a good pattern. Routines helps me to add balance to my life.
Hi Diane, I run on autopilot for the most important routines now so I usually like getting stuck in. My hope is to stay focused and get chores done efficiently, so i move onto more enjoyable activities as my perfectionism can keep me stuck cleaning etc when I stay focused and am able to fit in self care that is a day of progress for me ❤🎉
The routines help me reduce the number of “to do’s” cluttering my mind, similar to how I can get to sleep easier if I write down the things I need to remember for the next day. Less stress and also a feeling of accomplishment to see things get done.
Before the routines, the pressure was on! I got the tasks out of my head and on a list. Felt wonderful!! And it feels great to check off the done tasks. Now, I have to work on not beating myself up when all the tasks are not checked off. 😊
I loved this exercise, it was very powerful for me. Before my routines I felt stressed, sad, down, unmotivated. After I felt calmer, more focused and more energy. I hope I can use this experience in the future to keep my more consistent with my routines. Thank you Diane ❤.
The morning started better because of evening routine (tidy kitchen and a decent bedtime!). Morning routine for working from home days is up and dressed by half 8, morning meds then a short walk before starting work. The walk, even just 10/15 minutes makes such a difference, clears my head, gets me properly awake to start work, and these days spotting spring flowers and hearing bird song really cheers me up . Its a huge change from rolling out of bed 5 mins before starting work and being still half asleep most of the morning 🌄
Morning jobs all done, I can’t begin to describe how much better my mental health is when I get my daily rituals done , ifeel much less stress and anxiety having my lists written down and ticked off, a real sense of achievement and the flat is looking really good now just over one month on from starting this
My morning routine is a must or the whole day quickly becomes a disaster. 🏡🏡🙏🙏🌸🌸💚💚
Morning routine is finished. I felt good before it, because I actually got both my morning and evening routines done yesterday, which made entering my kitchen much more enjoyable this morning, as well as making today's morning routine a breeze. Felt great when morning routine was done again today.
Before - can’t be bothered, will take too much time, sooo much to do … Afterwards … very pleased with myself … chuffed to bits. Just wondered, Diane, if you think it’s easier to feel happy with life in Denmark than in Britain? I’m listening to Helen Russell’s audiobook The Year of Living Danishly … Danes seem to have got it right in my opinion!
My morning routine has been completed and I'm looking forward to my evening routine because I won't feel overwhelmed tomorrow morning.
Hmm never thought about how I feel after following a routine. I feel accomplished after following the routine.
Awesome
As I joined in late, I have viewed days 1 & 2 together. I already have am and pm routines. I have found that by doing these tasks as routines they get done quicker and with a lot less hassle. The am routines are essential to start the day right and in control. The pm routines mean that in the morning we are ready to jump right into a new day. I have found simple routines work well and they do help you to feel good.Thank you again xx
My list of chores and projects is growing so much that i dont know how ill ever get it all done. Im overwhelmed being a caretaker with so little time of my own.
