13 Micro Habits That Improved My Life 💫

[@lorpatty]

One habit you taught me maybe a year ago or more, is never going to bed with a dirty sink. I think you mentioned in that video, that it builds up your momentum to clean other areas in your home every night. It absolutely does! So, I start with the sink with dishes then up clearing off the kitchen table and counters, wiping everything down, sweeping the floor, mop if need be, and tiding the living room. And the crazy thing most of the time it only takes 30 mins on a small mess to 45 mins one bigger ones! I love love love waking up to a clean kitchen and a tidy home! So thank you very much! I am going try some things you mentioned here! 😊

[@PEPSIKERR]

I’m now a grandma. Thank you for the video. Yea life is busy. One thing I used to do is no food in the car. Only water, therefore no soul clean ups. I’d keep each (4boys) a backpack packed with extra clothes, flip flops, snacks. A small football, frisbee, soccer ball. Our stores were a true home. So if kids were hungry either to or from our destination, we’d pull off at a park for 10-15 minutes reset eat, kick the ball around or just take off our shoes and feel the grass between our feet. Life was busy but it’s those 10 minute moments spending with the kids that’s important. I’m cheering you on.

[@JAH-iu3yh]

Love it! My husband & I apprehensively/excitedly bought a new SUV after a scary accident with our little ones in the car. Our first rule was no food in the new car too. It’s a struggle but worth it!

1. Dim lights at 7 pm … ✅ 2. A laundry basket per person … ✅ 3. Journaling…✅ 4. Meal prep… ✅ (when needed) 5. Empty car at end of day… ✅ 6. Assign days for repeating task… ✅ 7. Unplug from phone/screens … ✅ (still a work in progress) 8. Shampoo twice … N/A 9. Plan next days outfit … ✅ 10. 10 minutes to get ready… ✅ (mostly) 11. Slow down … ✅ (wanting to be even slower 😅) I could of missed one 🤔 but these are great! I try to get a workout in. And I want to work on being a bit creative each day too.

[@denisefonda2815]

Kallie, I’m retired and my life is much quieter now than when I worked and had children at home. However, I find that some routine things are very helpful. I try to make sure all of the dishes are in the dishwasher or hand washed before bed, I make my bed before I leave the bedroom, in the morning and most importantly I meal plan and make a grocery list. I can’t believe the stress relief knowing what’s for dinner every night, gives me, and shopping with a list not only keeps me from forgetting something, it often keeps me from impulse buying. Little habits mean a lot 🙂

[@carolynridlon3988]

Same here, retired & only two of us to care for. But doing the dishes every night before going to bed is one of those " today's Carol can do for tomorrow's Carol" adage that stuck with me from Kallie a few years back. It works and my hubby now does certain daily/weekly chores also that helps me out.

So true about slowing down when things start to get tense. I used to try to “muscle” through it, but then I would get more frustrated and often injure myself (eg. Working in the kitchen).

There is alot of controversy with better help, mainly around the quality and ethics of their therapists. You may want to research before continuing to partner with them 😊

[@sarahspitzfaden]

Came to say the same. Better Help is not what it seems! Always do due diligence on the therapist you’re seeing (the word “therapist”/psychotherapist is unregulated and so anyone can claim this title like the word “coach”) and the way the company is storing your data.

[@Peptalk1w34]

I’ve heard horrible things about better help.

[@sarahspitzfaden]

Yes. It’s very concerning. Better Help is taking advantage of one of the most vulnerable moments in a person’s life. The ease of access is a nice concept, but Better Help have failed to protect their clients. I know Kallie means well in her suggestion of getting help, but hope she does a bit of reading and re-considers this particular partnership. There’s a reason why they need influencers to promote their product at the moment.

[@junesammy-robidoux2305]

I have had 7 kids, 6 still at home, 19-3, I have always separated laundry since the older ones were tiny and out numbered me. Now my teenagers do their own laundry, which is hard when I have gotten used to controlling the ebb and flow of laundry. Learning to let go is hard 😂. Also, I love the sleep tips. Sadly, teenager’s circadian rhythms are disrupted by puberty and hormonal shifts and brain changes. I didn’t grow up with phones and laptops, I still had a hard time falling asleep when I was supposed to. Now I know that was being a normal teen and having undiagnosed ADHD. Teenagers brains usually can’t full wind down until between 11 pm and 1 am, and yet we expect them to arrive to school by 7:00!!! No wonder they are acting crazy and overly anxious and feeling overwhelmed. Callie, I have been where you are, enjoy this time. The hardest era I am in is now, where I have children in all seasons and I am in all parenting stages (caretaker, cop, coach and consultant) but I am in my 40s, so my brain can do the flexible thinking required here. 40s are the best era so far! ❤😂Thanks for sharing here. I think this is what I should be doing too😊

[@kayo5291]

Re teenagers, does more sleep help? I am in a daily struggle to get my 12-year-old boys out of bed in the morning. They are on their screens at night, but they claim they get plenty of sleep (7.5-8.5 hours), just can’t wake up in the morning. It sounds like taking away screens and changing bedtime will not help? Until they’re adults? 😂😭

We just didn’t create a world for kids or teens, we made our world about work, the introduction of working in factories and 9 to 5 or shift work. People have struggled with sleep before we had technology, it just gives us a distraction sometimes. People used to wake up in the middle of the night start a fire in the hearth, chat and tell stories or a late snack before going back to sleep. We have medicalized sleep in a strange way. Good luck!

You need programmable lightbulbs! I got lightbulbs at Costco that connect to an app, and I can set to follow a circadian rhythm.

I love your videos in general, but I think this one is particularly brilliant. I totally agree about your penultimate point - slow down your life - and can relate to your check-out example. I find it really stressfull going through the check out, and I too have recently started trying to conciously relax - remind myself I am where I am, and that rushing, getting flustered is going to make the situation worse. Taking a deep breath, and taking my time, and even, trying to enjoy the moment (not always possible). But it really helps. I've also been trying to take this approach in other areas of my life - like traffic jams when I'm already running late - me getting tense isn't going to get me there any faster. It's really hard though, and I don't always manage - but the times I do - WHAT a difference! :)

[@SomewhereInTheMaidenverse]

I have found that for me, I need to have all of the dishes done and put away before bed. I don’t want to wake up to having to put dishes away. It slows me down. I make my bed immediately after getting out of bed unless I am washing sheets. Laundry is folded and put away on the same day it is washed unless it is hung to dry. Bathroom is wiped down every day and deep cleaned once/week. I clean my shower at the beginning of my shower so I don’t have to worry about getting clothes wet, or hot and sweaty. As soon as I am done, I shower and then thoroughly dry the shower. In fall/winter, I do mostly sheet pan dinners, stews, soups, and sauces. I usually freeze leftovers for emergency dinners. Spring/summer, we mostly cook on top of the stove and do shish kabobs, steak, hamburgers, etc on the grill. In spring and summer, I also wash and prep a ton of fresh fruit and raw veggies in containers/bags for snacking. This prevents snacking on junk. Bananas ripen faster, so I often make treats out of them when they get brown. In spring/summer, I make it a point to wash whites on sunny days so they can dry outside and get bleached by the sun. I have a clothes line and also will sometimes bring out one of my drying racks. We try to save on the gas bill in the summer, so that we can use the air conditioning more freely.

Loved all of your ideas, as always, but that last one about intentionally slowing down to be present really resonates. Thanks!!❤️

Okay, the name WORKS. Hahaha I gotta admit, the title was not interesting for me. Honestly I don’t want to know about micro anything at this point in my life 😂😂😂 BUT THE NAME. I CLICKED ON IT BECAUSE THE NAME. Surely that practical mom will 100% give me some good practical advice no bs fluff stuff 😂 AND ITS TRUE!!!! The whole laundry thing 🤯 🤯 I GOTTA TRY ITTT

Shampoo then condition then re-shampoo? Did I hear that right? I also shampoo twice but the condition after. Is your hair still tangle free and silky if you do 2nd shampoo after conditioner? Mind blown!!

If grocery delivery is available in your area... Seriously consider it. Even at $10 per week it's worth it. Consider how much fuel it takes to and from the store, the time it takes putting the groceries in and out of the car, putting the kids in and out of the car. My yearly delivery fee is $50... That's a dollar per week for delivery and for another $50 per year, they'll bring the groceries inside and put them away. Even $100 per year, that's around $2 per week.... Well worth it. 💖🌞🌵😷

Shampoo twice I do it too. The laundry basket is a good idea.

I am soo glad I found your channel a few weeks ago. I have been gleaning some practical info nuggets to incorporate into my life that were not taught to me growing up. I feel like I am way late to the party.

In watching my KZbin gals, it’s interesting to see how everyone is doing their laundry these days. Growing up, we had a family of 5 (two parents and 3 kids) and my Mom did a load of laundry every day, everyone’s clothes together, and it was totally manageable for us. When we kids got older, she would wash/dry the clothes before she went to work, we would come home from school and fluff hem in the dryer for 10-15 mins and fold & put it away.

Very motivating as always

Thanks for the tips! You're my favorite KZbinr!

Love this!! I would definitely enjoy hearing more (like a whole video) about your thoughts on slowing down and playing with your kids. Life is so busy and chaotic now with my baby and I feel like I don’t have time to nurture my relationship with my older children. I really need to get back to playing and reading with them more and not just being chaperone and chef 😂

[@gabygrand]

It might take longer to make food, but having your older children help with cooking can be a good activity. They'll learn a skill and spend time with you

Gurl! I believe you're my sister from a different mister! Lol seriously, there are so many things you do and ideas you have that are exactly how I am! Thank you for getting it out there, that's one thing I couldn't do, lol. Your shirt trick for hanging, I do that with my jeans as well! 😉😉 thank you again!!

Have been doing the hair thing for years! But, my hair is extremely oily so I have to do it a couple of times a week.
