ADD people often procrastinate something they subconsciously know is critical - self-care is a very common form of stress disorder management.

Thank you Cass for getting on the soap box others, like myself, don't have the guts for, don't take the time for, don't feel legitimate for, or are not even conscious we need! From one late diagnosed ADHDer who's stopped stuff getting in, overcome her emotional link with most clutter and still needs to work on her wish to sell items which are still sought after online cos I don't have the bandwidth to sell them.

The tip about first estimating the time a certain task will take you like for instance putting back the dishes from the dishwasher and then timing yourself actually doing it I just wrote it down and I'm going through estimating the times for certain thanks I'm sure this is a game changer and especially when you time yourself doing it, then you actually realize it will take less time🎉 I'm sure that's a game-changer thank you! ❤❤❤ Greetings from Finland

I've been listening to and watching you for years. Today i hit a tipping point: filled my home trahs pikcup to overflowong and put FIVE BAGS into my car for the dumpster at work. Heck to the yes!!

My home has sentimental items that either l inherited or gifted to me. I incorporate gifted items around my home because it makes me think of that person and appreciate them in the moment. I also know that it brings pleasure to my gifter to see their gift displayed / used during their visit. I also have items that l switch out for seasons. It brings me pleasure to refresh how my home looks. In essence l have items that are purely functional, purely beautiful (to me), purely sentimental and a mix of the above 2 or all 3 categories: functional, beauty and sentimental. I'm aware that each room is a 'container' that can only hold a finite number of items and secondly there must be space to move around. Thirdly, l must be able to store the item when not used or on display, without the storage interior spilling out. Stored items must be easily visible. If there is something l want, l'll take a photo and it stays on my phone for at least 2 weeks before purchasing. This awareness helps to minimise impulse purchases.

What the heck in in the background?

Just today peeled back another layer from the onion - bins that have been shuffled we’ve finally gone through and it feels amazing! 16:26 this is sooo good❤❤

Thanks for the awesome podcast Cas! Loved the tough love!

Amazing story! Thank you for sharing❤

Oh gosh, I needed this today! Thanks Cas!

I used to drop my keys on the floor by the door. A couple years ago I put 2 command hooks on the door. Car/apartment keys go on the right hook and work ID and keys go on the left hook.

You rock. This made me very emotional. I’ve had a hard week and needed to hear this today. ❤😊

I need to do dishes 5 more times a day. 😊

I love that you discuss catching up and how it's different from maintenance!

I'm staring at this now...the hardest of things I have to declutter, but I'm not sure why. So many "will I need this?" items. Thanks for the help

What to do if you live with a hoarder who doesn't throw out anything even broken stuff. 😢

That is so true. There are a couple of goals that I am wanting to do and rhat would I help so much.

Hi Cas, Can u please do more tough love podcasts? Thanks❤

Thank you!!

Took a hard look at my 'gonna' items. I'm gonna bake cupcakes. Pretty sure I never have in my life, but sure, that unused baking pan...fine. Gone. I could get by with one coffee mug, I had 15. Now I have 3. So, yeah, I still have some 'just in case' built into things, but it's a lot better than it was. I won't say things are close to great, but they're better than they were. As time goes on, I'm able to let go of more, because now I'm able to focus on what actually gets used, and the other things I just 'have'. By not bringing a lot of things into the house, the natural cycle of using things up, means I can keep on top of things better.

I wonder if there is a zodiac sign correlation in this

I was a patron for the minimalist for a long time they are the greatest

“You are Susan.” 😂 Loved this, Cass. I need to watch this again. So many juicy nuggets. “Wipe today or scrub tomorrow.” 💯 Thanks, Cass!

I was homeless most of my adult life until I had kids 10 years ago and got into housing finally and have had a roof over my head since. I have adhd, anxiety , depression, and that makes it extra challenging. I loved how you talked about gratitude, it made me remember how far I've come and that I need to appreciate what I have

Where did you get the white, pink, black boxes on your shelves?

I stopped your video half way & went to my freezer which has been aggravating me for weeks..😠It needed to be cleaned & organized I took everything out of the top draw took, cleaned it, threw away old things & some mystery items 🤔 Now that part of the freezer is clean, organized & I'm happy 😊Thank You Cass

I disagree with this. Do it well or don’t do it at all. Never cut corners or half ass things. Putting wet dishes away can create mold.

Awesome guest!!!!!!

Great advice! 💜

I love your tough love videos 😍😂

Red colour suits you a lot❤❤❤

I would love it if you did more of tough love videos and also some that are a real time cleaning without specific instructions. I loose motivation so quickly but hearing things like: you're almost there, you only have a little more to go, push yourself just a bit more, take a deep breath and keep going. I know it's overwhelming you can do it. Clear your mind of thinking you've failed becaused you let it get to this point and keep moving. Don't stress when you pull out the couch and see old chips and toys behind it. Just keep on etc... these are the things I tell myself but would love to be able to play an episode like that, you have such a soothing voice. You content has helped me a lot but need at least one episode where I'm constantly reminded I'm not a failure and I can push through minute by minute ❤

Thank you I was getting exhausted last week I took time off now just clean and what not then rest ..much easier .

You are a amazing person I'm so happy that I stumbled upon you ❤️

If you're not a people person, helping animals (wild or domestic), protecting nature, picking up litter or beautifying your own neighborhood, planting a wildflower garden, documenting or conserving history, and many more non-people-focused activities are also valuable acts of service and make the world a better place. 🙂

😂😂 Im one of your sisters. I feel like im with my kind. I'm starting the process to get a diagnosis.

Fantastic podcast!! I want to ask about “toxic” positivity. Maybe I don’t really understand what it is. I have struggled with anxiety and depression throughout my adult life up until a few year’s ago, and it’s true that plastering a fake smile on my face isn’t the best, but for me it was better than sitting home and being in my head and spiraling into negativity. I feel truly healthy now that I have healthy practices, both physical and mental. I do allow myself to feel truly sad and to examine my deeper emotions beneath my surface emotions but I don’t stay there. Letting myself feel the emotions and then gently comforting myself and reframing my story have helped immensely. One of my favorite podcasts of Cas’s is about getting energized and feeling lit. Getting up and moving and dancing and giving yourself a high five could be considered faking it till you make it, but it can truly help me feel better and break out of a funk. Truly appreciating what I have like good friends and a warm bed and food to eat help immensely. I try not to take anything for granted anymore, especially not the amazing people I’m surrounded by. Good sleep, unprocessed foods, deep breathing and being in nature are my best medicines. I’m looking forward to reading some of the books TK mentioned!

I feel attacked, and it feels GREAT! ❤ Thank you for the reminder.

IF I SEE ONE MORE LUME COMERCIAL IM GOING TO SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT VIDEO

You are a good person. have such a hard time but found exit from this life situation. I am happy for you! Such stories helps people to realise that they are not alone in this world, they are not stupid or lazy, that is just how their brain works. So, thank you for sharing with us! My story that I have lived all my life with this “I am stupid” and as adult I made for my self different ways to organise my life, to make it easier, to remember all necessary issues. Through all this years I didn’t even realise that I have ADHD ! My son is 6y o and he is like my 😊 I know how to help him. I wish you all the best! Love your channel ❤❤❤

So a tray keeps our stuff from the hot lava?

Cas, go to the library and borrow "wherever you go, there you are" by Jon Kabat-Zinn. It teaches how to meditate easily, simply being mindful.

This was amazing! Thank you, Cas, for having TK on your show and for asking great questions. Thank you, TK, for sharing your wisdom.

“You don’t have to sell it… you got your money’s worth because you used it.” Hugely important.

Very inspiring!!! I’m hoping to get some of these in my arsenal!!

I am an obliger according to the quiz. I agree, but I do have a question. Can you have two main tendencies?

I'm one of those people that love to clean Cass. I agree with you 100%

Question 🙋‍♀️ what is a good way to declutter my sewing room and my craft stuff ?

Wipe it TODAY!! or scrubAdub heavy duty tomorrow... That IS IT!! 😎
