10 TIPS FOR AN ORGANISED HOME | HABITS FOR KEEPING A CLEAN HOUSE

[@JennyChart17]

Emily, I may not always comment but I always watch your videos. You are so inspiring and I can see that you really care to put a lot into making such motivational videos. You always have great ideas but it also has to do with how you present them. Once again thank you for putting in the time and effort to help all of us, I have gotten such great ideas from you!! Enjoy the rest of August!!

[@em.gaceri_]

Having a home for everything and the blocking open spaces with flowers have been amazing tips to keep our house organized for a while now. Thanks Emily

[@carolinejohn4537]

I cannot make the bed straight away, the thought of making the bed when it is still warm makes me shudder. I have to open the windows, throw back the covers and air the beds and pillows for as long as possible. Every home has dust mites and they love moist, warm matresses/bedding, it is a perfect breeding ground for them. All the other suggestions are excellent. Thanks for sharing.

[@Anlbe1]

I agree so so much

[@LeticiaAGentil]

Me too! I always wait until the sheets are dry. I only make the beds after I've changed myself and the kids, fed the kids and had breakfast to allow the moist to evaporate

[@mrsemilynorris]

That’s exactly what I do. Let it air, with the windows open while I have breakfast and make it when I come up to get ready xx

[@ShellL]

Absolutely Agree it’s a disgusting habit not to air out a bed.

[@marymanning5150]

Me too

[@amaanaslam8274]

I’m first love your vids keep up

[@savagecat5499]

Doing a little bit each day or each week. If I can’t tidy up everyday, I will pick a day that week to clean and organize. Over time, you will want to do it because you like looking at how nice things are.

[@katethorpe4943]

You’re right to be ruthless with your children’s art work. I had 4 boxes of it, and all Jessica said when she got her own home was “ bin it” lol

[@mahharbi1909]

I was really struggling with the "don't sit down" rule especially after putting my two toddlers to bed then I have ZERO energy, but I managed to do that by cleaning BEFORE they sleep ! that way I get this superpower and I find myself so focused and cleaning fast because I'm thinking about their bed time

[@toodamnpale6335]

May have to try this 🤔 I know as soon as I get my 2 year old to bed I just flop on the sofa 😅

[@gabriellel4496]

That's the first thing I do after my toddler goes to sleep. Idk why his bedtime routine takes everything out of me. I'm always exhausted after I get him to bed. I totally get you! I sit down probably too much so I need to work on this. I would probably get a lot more done 👍

[@gabriellel4496]

My 20 month old is asleep before 8pm most days, and I take that time to have to myself and watch TV and get on my phone. Sometimes I stay up til 11 and by them I've rested enough to take care of the dogs and clean the floors

[@mrss7688]

That's exactly what I do. My husband will spend time with the kids in the afternoon and I tidy up so the second the kids are in bed that is my time 🤗

[@ang_131]

It’s funny because I have always loved these sorts of videos but have always scoffed at some of the common things like the morning/evening clean routines and command centres. Then I had kids. After the first baby, routines became a staple in our house. Now I’ve just had the second baby and I definitely need to implement more of these, including the command centre. There’s just so much more to keep track of with kids than there was with just my husband and I.

[@elizabethsingh2740]

Emily, I've been following your channel for some time, and I must say you have been a game changer in my life, thanks for all the tips you have to share and specially your motivation, see you till next video 🌻

[@sallymunley2824]

I make my bed every morning and by doing that, it encourages me to make sure other things in the room are put away. It is now a habit I have. Definitely agree that habit forming is fabulous at helping to keep things tidier. Great tips again.

[@Olga-cr3ig]

The GAMECHANGER in organising an ENTRYWAY - is individual "launching station". It means that every family member has one basket (or drawer or something) where he or she has EVERYTHING that he needs to get before getting out of the door - hat, gloves, keys, wallet, sunglasses, perfume, lipstick, whatever. You take ONE basket and you have EVERYTHING you need just in one and you dont need to scramble around different baskets for gloves and hat and all. And it also means that chance of forgetting something is so much less, because if you glance in your basket and its empty - it means you have not forgotten anything! And of course, what is IN the basket should be changed according to the season (hats and gloves at winter, and cap and sunglasses at summer :) ). It is a GAMECHANGER! Even my 3 y.o. toddler dresses herself and dont need a reminder (wear this wear that), she sees herself what is left to wear :) I hope that helps!

Hello. I noticed you wrote "book party" on the board in the beginning of the video. That sounds like a wonderful idea, can you give us details on how to host one? xx

[@DeaDellaFortuna]

I would be interested too

[@73cidalia]

Tip number one: Don't buy a small, old, un-renovated home. It never looks as clean as I'd like. Too many crevices, old paint layers, damage, etc. They collect dust and dirt and are difficult to get clean. I can't wait until my home is renovated. So much easier to clean newer, smoother surfaces.

I’m showing this video to my mom. I’ve spent my whole life trying to teach her some of these basic life skills that are highlighted here. How she was able to be a grad school professor for 42 years never having written any tasks or deadlines down is beyond me. Imagine how successful she would have been with lists! But, it’s never too late!

[@Chique867]

Definitely I'm someone who loves being organised. But I'm always on the look-out for tips and ideas to make my life even more easier. I make lists for everything. Plus write Daily Tasks and trying to do Weekly Menu planning. It will make my life easier. I do tend to cook xtra so i freeze half of what I cook if I can. I get the kids involved whenever possible. But in general keeping on daily tasks gives me a clear mind. I only wish I had done this decades ago!!😂

The two best organisation tips I learned with you Emily (and use daily): the 10min timer & the “Don’t sit” before organising the kitchen (at least)! It helps me soooo much, makes me a happier person, especially in the morning, when I wake up to a clean kitchen and dining area 🤩💝

[@danielafilipoiu8293]

I just recommended today her video to a friend and I actually didn't know is exactly about a clean house, because I just told her before how much Emily's videos helped me (a mom of three) to get an organised house (as I am not organised by nature, and I have to work on it). Thanks Emily. Almost every time when I met a new mom I just told her watch Emily Noris, Taina luciardo toivola and Brian Tracy. Thanks a lot.

[@felishaellington1016]

Your one touch tip mentioned in a previous video is the one that sticks with me and I have forced myself to make it a habit. I of course fail haha hence why my mind goes “one touch!!” and then I pick something up and put it away. X

Instead of a huge pile of their artwork, you should make a binder with clear page slips, and slip their art workj in the pages...like a childhood drawings book. saves space cus it's just a binder for them and they might love it and want it later on in life

[@Paula-xp7ve]

I’m a 70 year old mom to two grown “boys” and I can guarantee they won’t want most of the things you thought were important enough to keep for them. It was hard to watch them just throw it all away. But it was theirs so I stood by and let it go too. I did keep a couple of toys and clothing pieces for their kids. But even those were more important to me than it was to them. Maybe girls are different.

[@mrsemilynorris]

Aw it’s a shame but that’s made me feel a bit better xxx

[@Mieke256]

I'm not sure it's different for girls, it wasn't for me! My mother gave me a huge moving box plus extras full of school work, drawings, cards etcetera. She couldn't throw anything away when I a kid. I really had no idea what to do with such a huge box of stuff that just collects dust. I looked through it and realized that memories are in my head, not in things. It all went to the recycling. For my kids now I have a memory box each and only keep the really good stuff (like the first time my daughter drew a human instead of scribbles). I also take pictures of art work and keep an album on my phone. We can look through that anytime they want.

Since I'm retired I go to bed late and get up late. Lol. You do organize very well. I do it I'm sure later than you, but first thing is make up the bed.🤗

[@Cr3sc3nt1]

I know most people make their bed, with the quilt fully covering the bed again.. I just fold mine back in half towards the footrest of the bed. I only use white sheets, and I've always used a white flat sheet folded back at the bottom and top end of the quilt. As I get out of bed, I just fold it back neatly, get rid of creases on the fitted sheet. It aires out all day, looking neat and tidy, all white...

[@lisalawson5494]

One thing i do is... each night before going to bed i set out all of the stuff i need in the mornings, pills, water, cereal bowls with the cereal boxes next to it, lunch boxes, dog food bowl etc. That way when i get up i am already organised. (I get up super early for work by the way) No thinking involved.

[@Mieke256]

Hugs to you, it's just really hard! I have a 5yo and 2yo now and in my experience, the first year is just difficult with all these things. You don't have to do it all alone, a partner or friend can help. What helps with cooking for me, is cooking in the morning when the kids are still in a good mood. Or during a nap that your 3mo takes. If in your budget, buy all the pre-chopped vegetables, or frozen ones. If you have a slow cooker, use it!

[@catherine380]

With a newborn baby, don’t be too hard on yourself. Self compassion is important always, but especially during this season in your life. Accept help, and don’t feel bad asking for help. Think meals that don’t require a lot of time to prepare, or getting takeout more often is perfectly acceptable and understandable. The house may not look as clean as it used to for a while and that’s ok. If you’re lucky and your baby is a great sleeper so you actually have the energy, you could put your baby in a carrier while you clean if you are feeling up to it, or you could put him/her in a baby swing or bouncer while you get some tasks done.

[@il6251]

I love just having one book of handmade stuff from my youth. It's just enough to be fun but not overwhelming. My parents have made me and my sister photo albums too though and I like them, but really don't want them. 15 photo albums just take up to much space I don't have.. Just heard someone talk about a in and out basket in their pantry. Though it was so smart. All the things you buy and are going to use within a few days have a place then, instead of just taking up space on the kitchen counter.
