[@imrickjamesl2134]

Thank you!!🙌New subscriber here and its Back to School time! I have been watching command center idea videos after video!!! I'm a homeschool mama and wanted to really create a better system this year for the family of 4 !! Thank you for ALL of the wonderful visuals and unique ideas. I Very much liked the breakdown of command center personality traits!!! Believe it or not you are 💯 percent correct, you can never have too many different hubs. I have a few spread out through out the house and was trying to figure out how to bring them together into one space but you are correct!! It doesn't matter as long as it's working!!!

[@Rollwithit699]

I just found this channel. I have ADHD, and paper organization is very difficult for me, have a hard time deciding what to keep, what to toss. Also have Asperger's so I have an excessive desire to be organized. I'm always struggling to be more tidy and fight clutter (too many receipts! Years of tax returns I might need!) A major priority to me is my good credit rating, paying bills on time, avoiding all late fees for everything, dealing immediately with overcharges and poor customer service; my adult children call me a "bulldog." Since I've had several occasions where I needed a receipt I just threw out on a "declutter day" I hesitate to throw receipts for anything. I'm drowning in all this and family pictures too. Help!

[@sweetstufff]

Thanks!!! Do you have a link to the exact items?

[@LeahWriter]

Cas, we are going to need the story about living in a tent for 2 years. I've been following you for years and this is news to me :D

[@bethanydawnbarron4548]

[@samanthahays4829]

I have also gone from an adventurous free spirit to a homebody! Getting older, having kids, and anxiety all play a role. I don't need to ride a roller coaster when my emotions are a roller coaster every day!

[@Clutterbug]

Lol!

[@Karen-vs2fo]

HEAR! HEAR! SO true for me!

[@28105wsking]

I think it's also important to remember that your command center can change! You can move it around, add, subtract, create, delete, etc. It will grow and change as your life grows and changes. But this video is terrific and will tell you everything to do. It's also a great idea to create command centers next to each child's study desk and file cabinet. Kids need command centers too and it will get them introduced to organizing their lives. You can work with them regularly to teach them how to use it, how to organize, file, and incorporate their command center into their own lives. Starting in fifth grade, a command center for each student's study desk area will help them to feel "This is my own space where I can study and work well." Check with them too to see if it's working or how they need it to change. Comfy desk chair? Comfy curl-up-and-read chair? Enough light? Enough storage space? Enough desk top area or do they need more? Your child grows! And what is enough at eleven will need to get bigger as they do too! What new ideas do they have? Go shopping with your child and help them to choose what they want to be in their own command center, to make it cute, inviting, and their own special space. "Bring up a child in the way s/he should go, and when s/he is grown, s/he will not depart from it!" Cass, this is an idea for another video: Your child's space needs to grow up with them! They are students with computers! Do they have a study area/office in their own rooms sufficient for their growing study needs? When they grow, it's time to let go of baby things!

[@kimm4858]

I LOVE seeing the different ideas! Thank you!

[@petmomful2260]

i can relate. I am 67, and while I am still cool, I go down the stairs, slowly, holding on to the railing, so I don't fall. My knees are stiff, and I just have to slow down. It is age, but I still play my guitar, wear silly t-shirts, laugh and have fun, and I am the best grandma ever.

[@Clutterbug]

Love that!

[@KateWiium]

not sure if it's cause i live in iceland or if it's just me but I don't have anything like this, all my bills are paid through my banks app, there are no coupons in iceland :') I have no contracts or stuff I need to sign, my boys are young but they just have a folder in the school bags where stuff goes and I sign and put it back there but most stuff goes through emails here as well. art work just goes either to the recycling or back in their drawing basket if they want to keep it and I have a secret folder where I move really special projects into and write their name and date. my calendar for work and apt. is in my phone google cal, me and hubby have a grocery list app we can both add stuff to so I don't really see what I'd use this for although it does look really pretty I just feel like my stuff would just build up there instead of getting dealt with right away :')

[@Clutterbug]

Thanks for sharing!

[@lgraps]

Super video, Cas! I love the detail about *why* the different solutions will work for different organizing types. And your "stay to the end" portion always makes me laugh and brightens my day. I think you changed because you're a mom, btw. You gotta stay safe to take care of your kids! :)

[@janetaltice1703]

Love this video. Now come to my house and set mine up please...lol. I can relate with you about Rollercoasters. About 10 years ago our then 2 teen boys and husband went to a theme park and rode the Intimidator coaster. I thought I was going to die!! I came to the realization that Rollercoasters after 40 are not fun anymore. After that ride was the scrambler. That is not fun anymore either. So nerve racking....

[@Clutterbug]

Kids come first!

[@lauriesliz2731]

Yes, I too was adventurous. I'd ride on the bow of our boat on lake Ontario. The bigger the swells, and dips the more I hooped and yelled,...but then I became a mom. The first time I went out on the boat I was a wreck, couldn't wait to get to shore. Instincts to survive to care for your little ones! Normal.

[@godsqtchik]

Yeah I'm the same way. I think it's just how we're designed for survival. We're more adventurous when we're young & supposed to be finding a mate & then we get older & our bodies slow us down as we age, but we also become protective mama bears constantly griping at our adventurous kids to be safer. 🤣 It's just the cycle of life, I guess.

[@charleneknottsrubini2220]

Your cool factor just shot WAAY UP learning that you backpacked for two years! What a phenomenal experience! What happened is you had kids!

[@Clutterbug]

Probably true.

[@raquels.]

@@Clutterbug I don't know... I don't have kids and I've experienced the same thing! I used to be so fearless and a thrill-seeker (and also lived out of a backpack for a year!) and now I dread having to go to the grocery store. WHAT HAPPENEDDDD. I attribute it to entering my thirties 😅 but maybe the pandemic had something to do with it too?

[@vzimmer1951]

I love it when you show the different styles. It is much more helpful than the tests. Thank you! 👏👏👏

[@Clutterbug]

You're welcome!

[@jcoopes5604]

Most organizers only show one way and it’s their way! I love that cass will show all ways so when mom (bee) with 3 kids ( bee, ladybug, and a minimalist ladybug)! So we have a house full of stuff, but it is slowly getting there!

[@edus82]

Same. I didn’t live in a tent but have spent some nights in unusual places and lived carefree for a while, did bungee jumping whatnot.. used to love horror movies.. now I know better 😂 seems like thrill seeking is a depleting characteristic for the most of us :)

[@kellyrandall8025]

You are amazing. You put into words how our home environment critically impacts how we function and feel. You can articulate beautifully what most people can't. You have helped my family transform our life in your humble and humorous way. Thank you!!

You were a living on the edge kind of girl. Now your settled and teaching us how to take control of all that unnecessary and important clutter. Thanks for all you share and do. Hugs 🤗

[@RustyB14]

You’ve become perfect. A healthy fear is ok to have. The pink all around you & the house look fabulous together. Some of the best tips are when you show the optional ways of organizing - like you did today. Very good presentation-but implementation is the key for us viewers

[@Clutterbug]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kbailey3238]

Nobody's perfect but she's pretty darn close 🥰. The thing with Cas that I love is she's not afraid to be vulnerable and show her flaws. She is relatable and due to all this what she shows us is utterly doable, some done Pinterest perfect thing out of our reach.

I have ramdon organizing systems like everywhere - I've been wanting to fix up my kitchen command center, and I'm realizing I once was a cricket but am now more butterfly, and the cricket ways of old aren't suiting me anymore. Lots of good ideas here on how to make it work. Thanks!!

I'm a bee🐝, but of the command centres you showed, the one that seems most "for Me" is the one for lady bugs... 🐞 I've never liked rollercoasters.... hate them. I've never been very adventurous..... I've always loved doing safe creative things, indoors, and I'm a homebody.

[@thegardensanctuary2248]

Yes. Thank you!. I've been watching your videos for a few years and it's helped me make a lot of changes to keep on top of clutter... except paper clutter. That's my biggest struggle. Will be soon implementing ladybug style command center. 👍

[@rhondawilliams9449]

I also lived an adventurous life at one time in my life. I loved hiking and camping; I climbed to the top of Mount Whitney and the bottom of the grand canyon and hiked and camped along the Appalachian trail for 7 months. I still love to hike, but nothing as adventurous as "The Trail," and I need a hotel, not a lump blow-up raft on the hard ground. I do sleep with my window open at night if that counts for adventure. I think you and I are plenty adventurous; it's just that our experiences changed. I mean, look at you, girl, starting your own business with spins-off businesses entrepreneurial style. You write books, you raise children, and you take fabulous vacations. Impossible to do from a tent unless you had a magical electrical outlet. Can you imagine getting those kids off to school from the tent you lived in? Life gets real, so we get real. We both put ourselves out there, taking risks every day; that's adventurous.

[@SandiRemedios1]

Love this video. I was a wild child. Then a sober adult, with responsibilities. Then my family grew up and I could rediscover the zany somebody I used to be, except maybe a little more tame. It's all about your season of life. Don't worry, when you least expect it, you will rediscover that desire to explore and experience new things.

[@Clutterbug]

Thanks for sharing!

[@kathleencrawford1331]

Also I think risk-taking evolves. You started your own business & are in front of a camera. That is still radically wild-child ❤️❤️

[@cathydufty9660]

I have learned to allow 30-40 mins to watch one of your videos. For instance, whilst watching this video I'm looking around my desk and seeing the things that are working for me vs the things that most definitely are NOT. In my mind I'm thinking of what I have around the house than can work to make this better. I have my Ideas Journal at the ready making notes and funny little diagrams. My Dad was an accountant and my Mum a bookkeeper with a home office and I was a legal secretary for 10 years or so and I've always had filing cabinets, paper diaries and wall calendars and my desk had one designated spot my boss and other people could put things for my attention and a pen holder for the "borrowing" pens. No one messed with my notebook and pen. At home it's been sharing a desk with other people (husband and 4 kids) that I've found the most difficult. I'm with you about the rollercoasters. Now I don't even like climbing a ladder. Did I mention my husband is a carpenter and we built and now renovating our house (30 yrs later) and he always wants me to "climb a ladder and hold this"? I always seem to get that blasted rickety ladder too!

[@mlw8391]

I can absolutely relate to the adventurous youth that has disappeared! I also used to do crazy stuff and now I am a play-it-safe person. I think it's partly age and possibly parenthood. The fact that there are people who depend on us to be around for a while. 😁 Love you, Cas! ❤️

Have you ever thought about helping out in the classroom setting? I bet there are plenty of teachers out there, like me, that would love to see the organization and set up of a functional classroom.

[@justforfunny7674]

I can relate to your final story! I used to love thrill rides, etc. But as I’ve gotten older I think the wisdom and “regular” adventures of life has shown me that I don’t need those things to satisfy my soul❤️ I’m happy on a porch, drinking coffee, reading, talking with friends or watching your organization tips❤️ God is good and I’m satisfied with having those I love in my life. I suspect that’s where you are at too!

[@Clutterbug]

I am :)

[@kristingorak4956]

Totally get the afraid of roller coasters and not a big thrill seeker in life. I used to love that stuff. Now I value my comfort and not breaking my bones! I’ll watch everyone but am more than happy to avoid the thrills!!

[@trinaroe5132]

Coupons I know or think I will use go directly into a specific spot in my wallet so I always have them with me when I’m shopping. I’ve also started making my shopping list in the notes on my phone so I don’t forget to grab the list on my way out, and when I run out of something I add it to the correct notes on my phone immediately. I always have one generic one for Groceries, one for Shopping (for non-grocery items such as clothing or home decor) and one under the name of the nearest larger city for items I can’t find locally. That last one is a great save because if I happen to be there for something else I can check to see if there’s anything I need to buy while I’m there. If I’m planning an IKEA run (the nearest one is 2 hours away) I create a list for all the items I want to look at, things I want to get ideas for, items I want to check interior dimensions on, etc. I also make notes about what the website says is and is not in stock before I leave. I was slow to give up paper and pencil, but I’ve LOVED always having my list with me!

[@ldwernychuk]

I do the same with the coupons and phone list. I always have my phone with me, but not always paper and pen. If I thought of something while I am at work, I would write it on a piece of paper, never to be seen again. But if I can grab my phone and add it to the list right away....I know I will remember it. Also, I can put a star or something beside an item to remind me I have a coupon. Or I will put 'use points' to remind me that I have enough loyalty points for a store.

[@Clutterbug]

Thanks for sharing!

Oh my gosh, your rant at the end is me!! 😂 All growing up until my mid-twenties, I used to be so adventurous and outgoing, always out and about, talking to or hanging out with people. Now I’m an introvert that only wants to be at home with my husband and our cats lol and my hobbies are quite different than my younger years. It’s something I’ve thought of before, how different I am than the me from 10, 15, 20 years ago. Sometimes I see it as a good thing, sometimes there are things I miss about the old me. I wish I had an answer for you as to why, but I still haven’t figured that out.

[@beautifulhomemaking]

Loved these great tips! 20 yrs ago I loved roller coasters and my new hubby hated them. After kids we switched! It would hurt my head and I was terrified. However, I just went to DLand and did fine on Space Mtn. I think my health is better and my kid is almost an adult so instead of me protecting him, he's the one looking out for me!

I was always a thrill-seeker until I had my firstborn and developed health issues that prevent me from living that kind of life anymore.

I had a cork board with a calendar, hooks with each of the kids important papers, etc….But our a-hole cat started clawing at the cork board at night and ripping everything down and clawing up the board! So thinking it was because he must think it’s a scratching board for him, I switched to a magnet board which is a lot smaller and less functional for us…the cat still climbs up on the buffet and pulls the papers and magnets down! 😂 it’s funny, but it’s not!

I've changed too. I think we change because not only do we grow up but we are responsible for others and in a way we just kind of lose our old selves. It sounds like we have something in common though because I would rather just stay home too. LOL. But then again when we used to like to go out when we were younger we didn't have all the bills and debt responsibility did we? I still love the way my life turned out.

[@MinutesWithMaria]

I am so glad I found your video right before I organize my office. I think I am a hybrid of a ladybug and cricket. Your ending really resonated with me. I used to be more fearless and do things on my own. Now when I think of taking a trip to a place I haven’t been before, I want to join a tour group. I thought I was going insane but your story helped me to feel better. Thank you!

[@kellydavider8509]

Yes!!! Won’t travel without my pillow!! 💯

[@karenmarz6569]

Cas, are you writing a book? For all the things you mentioned in the past to now mention the 2 years on the road- WOW. Your funny, inspiring and love your adventures.

[@FrogeniusW.G.]

You are that way now, bc. you're our rolemodel for a organized life! Clearly!! 😁

[@Clutterbug]

So true!

[@fabienneroure9995]

OMG I can relate so much regarding the adventurous side I used to have! I was a travel agent for 20 years organizing expeditions for a worlwide adventure company and I went to some amazing and remote places. Going on rollercoasters, going to super rugged places were my thing...emphazise on the word WERE...lol! Last time I went on a ride was with my son we went on the swirling teacups ride...I absolutely swear it...I threw-up as soon as we stepped out from the ride's platform! The teacups ride can you imagine!!! Thank God I have pictures to prove to my family that I used to be really cool and fun! All this seems to be so long ago, on a beautiful planet, in a galaxy far away... LOL Couldn't help myself to throw that in there, I noticed your knitted Yoda!🤭🌎🌟

[@Clutterbug]

He's so adorable :)

[@cindynielson4231]

We are all still cool but with more wisdom. When you're singing with your granddaughter and she calls you cray-cray you are still fun and cool. 🤣TFS👍

[@Clutterbug]

Haha!

[@ruthbrown3111]

Like the way you show different versions of command centres to suit different people.

[@connieortego8403]

Hi I’m a clutter bug and it’s through out my whole house. So over wheelmend . Really enjoying your vedios trying to get inspired. I’ve tried before and very little done and back a mess. But I watched one of your vedios and think I need a buddy. I’m perfectionist and big procrastinator. But praying for the grace to start. Another of vedios just turned and you are describing me as you are describing the other person on the vedio. It the Emotion organizing. And I need to let go and devorice stuff. I think if I can conquer the clutter. And get organized which I love that part only lol. I will regain my health and lose weight. And be sooooo less stress. Thanks for sharing. I really needed it.

[@elizabethsokol2545]

I think the "circular file" is the file that will best solve my paper clutter issues. One of the DT KZbinrs hauled a laundry room sign with three clothes pins. I thought it said something like "lost socks seeking sole mate". Thought this might be something you want to look for next time you are at DT. I have learned to stay away from amusement parks and can't ride the baby rides either. Somewhere along the way, I developed a fear of heights. I seem to remember enjoying the "Tilt-a-Whirl" when I was a kid. Tried it a few years ago and it felt like 3 minutes of "sheer torture". Don't know what happened but my amusement park days are over.

[@Clutterbug]

Thanks for sharing!

[@barbborja1910]

Oh Cas, I soooo understand. I have always loved amusement parks, and for the most part still do. However, last year we went to Disney’s California Adventure park and my hubby and two sons (24 & 22 yo) talked me into the Guardians of the Galaxy ride. It goes straight up and down, which I’ve never been a big fan of. Cas, it goes Really down. I would love to tell you it was a great ride… but I passed out! That great souvenir picture of you screaming, I have one of me out cold with my three guys having the time of their lives.

[@Clutterbug]

Oh my!!!

[@lindaconover7245]

I think it comes with age that you realize the dangers things! Cass you're great love to watch you 🙏🙌💕💯

[@Clutterbug]

So glad!

[@janebadon3988]

I 💚 how you created systems for the different styles of organizers.

[@shayj7508]

This is actually the first time I heard of the concept of having multiple Command Centers. I've been beating my head against the wall trying to figure out one central place for everything... thank you for this video... Also Thank you for the your soft calming voice, KZbinrs don't realize how much of a difference their voice and tone makes... I was feeling overwhelmed and searching for organization ideas and hearing your calming voice helped me calm down and get motivated big time..

[@stephanieiv1163]

You’re still cool. And you’re responsible and have learned impulse - control. Yay!

[@Clutterbug]

Lol!

[@parveendosanjh7195]

Oooo I fell love with this "Comand center" Love it Thank U Supper Star I'm very impressed! Epic share massive hug flying over xxx

[@tiffanymackey2083]

I identify with your story at the end! I used to enjoy roller coasters and not be afraid of heights. When I was pregnant with my first child, I started becoming anxious about heights and all kinds of things that never bothered me before.

[@Clutterbug]

Totally get it!

[@sonavitkova8273]

Hi Cas, I guess it's the age. Don't worry, I'm the same way. When I was in college (I was 20-25 years old) I had no problem traveling and I was fit even though I stayed up all night. Now I will be 42, I still love to travel, but I am terribly tired every time. To make matters worse, for the last 3 years I have been literally exhausted and I have to have an energy drink here and there in the afternoon (not every day) in order to be able to last until the evening. It often happens that I look forward to going to bed at night since the morning.😁

[@BeingNancy]

Great video. I can relate to you. I used to be a punk rocker...not afraid of anything. Now I have to give myself a pep talk just to take my dog out for a walk, in my own yard..in the suburbs. I didn't see this coming. 🌻🌻🌻

[@Clutterbug]

Glad you like it!

[@erikabraga100]

I’ve been watching you for YEARS and you are the most fun KZbinr in the organization sector or KZbin. Love your stories at the end, I ALWAYS stay to the end. Success for you my dear

[@btuller1772]

I can relate to the amusement park rides. I loved roller coasters! And then my 40 hit and that amazing thrilling feeling I got when I was younger riding a coaster, is now pure I'm going to die and this is not fun feeling. It only got worse as I got older. Something in your brain changes. I don't know what it is but boy do I miss the old days and riding the lastest coasters to come to Kings Island or Cedar Point. I'm a little bit of everything when it comes to command centers. Some work well and some are works in progress. Good video.

[@Clutterbug]

Thanks!

[@lindsaycamp4414]

I think I got less adventurous when I became a mom. However, now that my kids are young adults I feel adventurous in different ways. Traveling, taking on new professional challenges, and being bold enough to state unequivocally that I like myself are all ways I feel more confident now. I get the feeling you feel much the same, Cass, and I think that is very cool! 😎

[@Clutterbug]

:)

[@eydiehostetler9123]

I am intrigued that you have four different command centers in your home. Can you do a video that expands on each of them in a little bit more detail and how the difference between all of them helps you? I am loving this idea of these various command centers for different purposes. As usual, you rocked it!

[@Clutterbug]

Well thanks!

[@michellemanzer5162]

Whaaattt! I used to car surf too! We were totally crazy! Now no Rollercoasters or anything like that for me. I think it's just we adults know too much about worse case scenarios. Lol! Got stuck on a coaster once... that was fun.

[@Clutterbug]

Oh wow!

[@jeankarcher2460]

I think doing a tv show is pretty adventuresome. Priorities change is what happens to all of us. Great video.

[@Clutterbug]

Thanks!

[@cindyg.3875]

You are a mom of 3- that’s pretty darn adventurous! And, this video was definitely helpful! I have a tendency to just drop my mail in piles (I tried a basket, but stuff just got buried). I have a little desk set for my mailing supplies, but when I saw you put the file folders in the ladybug setup, the penny dropped- mine isn’t wide enough. I do have to add a nearby bin for recycling, and keep the shredder nearby. That’s the biggest reason why the mail piles up for me! I’m going to re-evaluate 2 spots and see which one will work the best for me. Thanks for showing me the way!

[@Clutterbug]

You're welcome!

[@laurastewart2418]

I love your comments at the end😁

[@mandypratley9723]

You didn't lose your cool, you've found your common sense!!! 😃😉🤣😍

[@Clutterbug]

Hopefully!

[@delphinelb8774]

No Cass, it’s because you became a mom 😘 Happened to me too. I loved aventure, like… really crazy things in the amazonian jungle, i went with nothing, built a « house » with trees, ate animals i hunted. I ride horse too. Always pushing myself higher and harder. And then surprise! i had an amazing baby: risks were suddenly over, for example with my horse i was afraid of hurting myself (never before!!), because who could take care of my son if i was hurt? So… uncounsciously, it’s because you have to survive to care about your children. Yeap, natural instinct 😉

[@taylorhoag8811]

I can totally relate to changing as Ive gotten older. I used to love horror movies and now I can’t handle them at all. Even the super cheesy ones. I also used to do really crazy, thrill-seeking things, and now I enjoy staying home and organizing things lol Having a family changed a lot for me.

[@LiterarySnob]

That's aging! Welcome to getting older, or the scardy kat phase!! I'm 66 and I can tell you the things I did as a teenager scare the hell out of me now!! But it was a different time. I'm scared to get myself on the train to go to the doctor!! Thank you, Covid!! I just feel safe in my own apartment and shop online for everything!!

[@Clutterbug]

I feel that!

[@sydneykasmar]

Thank goodness there are many ways to organize.

[@Clutterbug]

For sure!

[@tashahauf1032]

Omg! Cas! I love you. You make me laugh so much. I can relate to everything you say. Old no! We are wise now. Did that done that got the tee-shirt and now we want our own bed! Yes! LOL

[@Clutterbug]

:)

[@doloresw]

Great tips, I agree I used to love all the amusement park rides but I was terrified when I hit my 40's lol. The photos of me screaming in utter fear are so funny when I look back at them. I think we often have kids and then start to worry and see things differently that when we were young and carefree.

[@Clutterbug]

So true!
