Please keep doing this series even after your new flooring is placed. I like the quick videos and they might help you create the 15 minute habit

[@ahoardersheart]

Yesssss!!! I definitely plan on continuing these Flylady series!! It will be the only way I can create the habit!!

[@lifeasandrea280]

@@ahoardersheart yay! I'm very proud of you💓

[@talithaschweitzer9467]

Great job and those Pokemon bubble wands are so cute!

[@rebeckamattisson5083]

This is amazing, you really show how easy it is to get a lot done with the visual clutter/surfaces with just 15 minutes work/day. That is great news for all of us who like to postpone some tasks and make them bigger than they are... :) A great series for your channel! :)

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe!!! Thank you so so much ❤️🙏🏻❤️ I will definitely be continuing the “Cleaning the Chaos” series!!!

[@ThKiwi]

Wow!! Your "befores" are sooooo much better than the befores form just a few months ago! You rock girl!

[@Warrrkotka]

You're catching up with the messy spots quicker and quicker. Just look at the old vids see how much progress you made.

[@Designinganewme]

Girl I would love to watch you do a whole hoarded room sped up start to finish. Sooo satisfying 😊love your videos!

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe!!! Thank you so so much!!! 💜🦄💜

[@jesussaves4473]

I want to thank you so much for taking the time to share your videos. It really is an encouragement and a helpful motivation. Keep at it and never let yourself become discouraged. God bless you and may you know His peace! 🌷🌱🌹🌱🌷🌱🌹🌱🌷🌱🌹🌱

[@ritavasnanigurbani6063]

So satisfying! I think I might do these 15 minutes of decluttering. You did very good!

[@MadameMinima]

You are mentioning several times your "bad old habits". Don't be so rude with yourself, you are doing a great job. It takes time to get rid of old habits and to incorporate new ones. This doesn't happen overnight. But I think the Flylady method is perfect for you to really incorporate them into your life. You just started with this system. So by the end of the year, your house will be perfect!!! Keep going 🥳

[@jenniferramirez8906]

your videos really help me! I'm also a hoarder and when no other video helps me, yours does! Thank you!!!

[@trigger5050]

This is a great maintenance habit!

[@ahoardersheart]

Absolutely 💜🦄💜

[@scraphappyjen4561]

You have come so far! I am so encouraged by your commitment to keeping at this. That 15 minutes really does make a huge difference doesn’t it. 🥰

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe, yes it does!!! Thank you so so much for your sweet encouraging message 💜🦄💜

[@Jaegre1]

It looks awesome. I have to rotate my 2 minute hotspots to make sure that I’m clearing off all the “drop zones” in my house every week. It’s a commitment! So excited how flylady is working out for you and for the new floors!!!

[@kbal1451]

That's a great habit to keep up. Makes a big difference.

[@rachelselby5469]

I'm so excited about you getting your new flooring this month. I can't wait to see it.

[@jokebetweenthetrees]

Its improving! Your doing great. One tip: do not use the chairs to hang coats, a habbit in your house I think. Because in every clip, the coats are on chairs, not on the coats rack next to the door. It will look so much nicer when every person learns that habbit in your house 🧥🧥🧥🧥

[@sarahrobertson3939]

Pachirisu! (regional pokémon in PGo in my area) I love your creativity. When I'm not being distracted by squirrels, I keep wondering about the layout of your main room. It's both living room, dining room and entrance area, and the three aren't really geographically distinct. I find myself wondering if rearranging the furniture so that you have a distinct entrance area, a distinct dining area, and a distinct living room area would help a bit with clutter. For example if you had a distinct entrance area so that all the inbox clutter went there instead of spreading everywhere, and you kept a bin for recycling paper, you could deal with a lot of it before you ever got near the table. Same with hanging up coats. You have coat hooks but the coats are on the backs of chairs. Also that storage unit on the wall opposite the door - I'm not sure why you even have it or what it does. Maybe moving it to make a "wall" might help. I'm not sure what the answer is, or where to find it. Maybe The Cozy Minimalist? Or a YT video I'm not familiar with?

[@caramoonlynn]

I'm thinking my after work routine will be laundry, dishes, dinner, kitchen tidy and 15 minute declutter. It's cool you decorate for Valentine's day

[@rosiehoy4736]

I sence this is a big deal for you to be on top of a room so early. Well done. I'm so happy for you.

[@JoanDam248]

It looks good. Amazing what you Can achieve in 15 minutes 😊❤️

[@beckiblack859]

Great job! Your house is looking so good! You are an inspiration for so many.

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe, you are them sweetest!!! Thank you so much 💜🦄💜

[@barbarap6851]

Happy Birthday to your son! Those bubble wands are adorable! Suggestion...and you'll have to practice this to make it a habit. Have one location where you put all paper that comes into your house-dining room table or kitchen counter. That way you do not have to spend time collecting it from various spots. It will be quicker to go through if it's all in one spot! Great job...your new floor will look amazing!!

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe, thank you so so much for your great advice!!! I do need a basket for all that paperwork!!!!

[@ellenstam-mulder3002]

really proud on you. you are breaking that habbits that you don't want. keep on going. i am breaking bad habbits to with you.

[@joycemarsh2743]

Good to see you great job the last video I watched I believe was your sons shoe declutter great job . I’m glad you are getting your new carpet and hard wood can’t wait xx

[@ahoardersheart]

Awe, thank you so so much my sweet friend ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@jeannebowes2898]

When I do my evening flylady routine , I do a walk through and declutter as I go. I always find tossie -tossies!

[@Joy-zp5lv]

You are doing good! I´m excited for the new flooring! Love from Germany ♥

[@ahoardersheart]

Hello beautiful Germany 🇩🇪❤️ Thank you so so much!!!!

[@charishurt1768]

Congratulations you did a great job wishing you much success 💙

[@leyrotis]

I had the mail problem too... until I started opening it as soon as I arrived home and right beside the paper container. The trash goes to the trash, the important papers go to the table

[@ahoardersheart]

You are so right! I need to get into that habit! Right now as soon as I get home at 5:30pm from work, I go straight into the kitchen to cook dinner. Maybe while it’s cooking, that’s when I should open the mail!!! Thank you for the awesome advice 💗💗💗

[@joeseatat]

Yeah, I walk in with the mail and before I even get my shoes off I pitch the junk mail and ads in a bin by the door. The important stuff goes in a basket for later.

[@CULady]

Awesome 👍. I just powered through and cleaned all this know nds of spots for my son's bday party this past weekend. however, you made me realize I have a couple more arewa to treat like hotspots so they get messed up again. Thank you 💜💜

[@summerbaby4600]

Can’t wait for the reveal of your new flooring❤️ Are there toys in the bottom baskets of the living room shelf? Maybe once you declutter those toys and make some room, your kids won’t just leave toys on the flat surface anymore?

[@kbal1451]

Junkmail - the way I handle it. It never comes in my house - straight to the recycling bin. I go past the recycling bin and dump it before I go inside the house. I also open mail before I go inside and envelopes go in the recycling too. I don't get much because I have a sign on my mail box "No junkmail" If I want to buy something I can always find it online. Bills can be delivered by email.

[@brightsparrowhawk]

Same! I have a cool looking old umbrella holder by my front door and I throw all the junk mail in there every day. Then I empty it in the recycling or shred bin when I clean during the week.

[@jeannebowes2898]

Todat is Wednesday , anti-procrastination day in the Kitchen zone. The men in the house have taken all to the recycling center on their way to the post office. did the my morning routine while they are out! Starting my daily laundry. I am dropping off some very nice clothing for another fam member this morning.

[@ahoardersheart]

Oh how wonderful!!! You are having such a productive day ❤️❤️❤️

[@jeannebowes2898]

Thursday is gym morning for us. I did do my fifteen minutes declutter and did find some tossie-tossies. The wands are adorable! My son did a major declutter a few days ago. He is on the minimalist side but Alan is not! ( He is an academic with too many papers and books)

[@ahoardersheart]

I am so happy about all your progresses!!! Way to go 🎉🎉🎉

[@jeannebowes2898]

A Hoarder's Heart I find tossy tossys everyday during my fifteen minute declutter!

[@somewhatawry]

I’m still very behind and trying to catch up to real time on your videos, but I wanted to give you a tip on how I deal paperwork. It can take SO much time! My husband and I get paid twice a month, so I have a pretty gold file holder (I found it at a thrift store for $1.99!) that I stuff all the mail each day in. When it’s payday, I pull it all out and go through it as I pay the bills. That way I KNOW the paperwork is getting done at least twice a month and it’s all contained in the meantime. I love your channel and I’m cheering you on. Hopefully I’ll catch up soon. ❤️ Tracie

[@trigger5050]

I've managed to watch ALL of your videos over the past week, and by the way, CONGRATULATIONS on getting the chaos under control! Your momentum is motivating. I'm just wondering what method you feel has worked best for you, konmari, smallest room first, or flylady? Like if you had to recommend a strategy to someone else what would it be? Or would it be a combination?

[@reddtraining]

They're all good for different things. Konmari helps you figure out what you value for stuff (ie. anything you toss should be things you don't use and things you have no emotions attached to - attached to the sippy cup? Keep the sippy cup and put it somewhere you can appreciate it), and Flylady helps with the general upkeep and teaches you how to create and edit your plan as you go (ie. If you tend to let clutter build, it helps you be mindful of that and encourages it to be put away appropriately) . And small room first... I can see how it could help someone feel less overwhelmed, but personally for me I need to start in the messiest area and work into the cleanest.

[@ahoardersheart]

For hoarding disorder the smallest to largest rooms Declutter. That was how I started to keep my anxiety calm and get a quick victory! I’ve built my momentum from that!! KonMari is good for non-hoarders and Flylady is pretty well-rounded! Thank you so so much for watching my videos!!! That was just so so sweet ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@trigger5050]

@@ahoardersheart thank you! After I posted my initial question stating that I had watched ALL the videos, I stand corrected, I watched all the videos in the playlist. Now that I've gone back to the videos list I see that I have barely scratched the surface of seeing all the videos 😁, now I just need to be disciplined enough not to binge watch.

[@unlonely9007]

A lot less clutter than last year. You are doing great. Fly lady helps. Have you thought about challenging yourself after the new floors are finished?...no floor clutter.

[@JessieBenson93]

I don't know if it is but... If any of that mail is junk mail you don't want to receive, you could try putting a notice asking not to receive it on your letter box, or try unsubscribing from catalogues and things. Don't know if that's how it works in the US :) in England, it's quite easy to unsubscribe from junk mail. It would save you some minutes every week xx keep up the great work! I also did the kon Marie on my clothes this week, all in one go and I've never realised how easy it is to get tired and confused about making decisions! Going to do it in smaller categories next time.

[@Probablytracy]

Great job! The hot spot is DAILY though....literally daily!

[@ahoardersheart]

You are sooooo right!!!! Lol Thank you!!!! 💗💗💗

[@amygarrimone7936]

FlyLady kat talks about going through just an inch of paper each day, until the paper clutter is gone. Highly recommend her channel for FlyLady mentoring.

[@melissafedeli2022]

You should make two paper baskets right when you walk into the house. One for mail one for receipts! That was it’s there but contained.

[@christineshultz7615]

Since watching you demonstrate the fly lady process I have implemented some of her ideas. I don't do the email part yet. But I have a morning and night routine, just a couple key things, and it has really helped make my house look less crazy and days go smoother. I've noticed my regular more in depth cleaning has gotten shorter and easier since I'm maintaining the small stuff. Just a question.....would one of those cabinets from you kitchen work better in place of the kitchen table? Would the kitchen table even fit in the kitchen like maybe next to the fridge? Then you could create a station right near the front door to deal with papers and misc. Items. And all eating activity furniture would be in the kitchen. So happy you have a flooring date. Can't wait to see the finished product.

[@ahoardersheart]

I am just so happy to hear that the Flylady process is working for you!!! Whoo Hoo!!! We did try putting the table in the kitchen but it was too tight in there! I think the camera makes the rooms look bigger than they are!!! Lol As always, thank you for your sweet encouraging messages!!! You keep me motivated to keep going ❤️🙏🏻❤️

I’m watching this on April 17 and it makes me so sad that that your scheduled flooring for March 25th didn’t happen. Silly Wuhan!!! On the bright side, what a great thing to look forward to after all this mess is over you will have gorgeous new flooring!!!

[@ahoardersheart]

Lol!!! You are so right!! I do have something big to look forward to once the quarantine is done ❤️❤️ Praying you are healthy and safe my friend!!!

[@texadianstitcher]

Look at you getting 2 of your problem areas tackled in a week vs a multi week process per area. A little bit of clutter is fine in my opinion. It shows a house is lived in. Not everyone is cut out to be a 100% OCD everything needs to be perfect model house renter. As long as you can get the house in order in about an hour before guests (including sweeping, dusting, toilets etc) arrive (without dumping it all in the laundry room) I think its fine. The catch is you need to keep up on the clutter enough so it's not overwhelming.

[@ahoardersheart]

As always thank you so so much for your awesome advice!! You always help me and I’m so grateful for that!! 💜🦄💜

[@brightsparrowhawk]

The new cabinets in your kitchen look so nice! I assume your husband made both of them? You’re doing great! 👌👍💪

That electric cord at 6:13, doesn’t it get in a way of cleaning? It might be good to get an extension and make it go along the wall😉

Why aren’t other family members reminding you or helping daily? Is hubby oblivious? My husband gives me 3 days warning and then whatever is on a flat surface is in the trash.

[@ahoardersheart]

❤️ Honestly, hubby did laundry, bathroom cleaning, dishes & home repairs. The boys did vacuuming and dusting. They went to go declutter but I said, “Wait! Let me film that for my video!!!” Lol We’re all learning these new habits! Also hubby is sensitive to my hoarding disorder. He knows a 3 day warning could actually regress my hoarding or cause a fight. I’ve come so far in healing only from the encouragement of my loved ones and the sweetest subscribers in the world 💗💗💗 Thank you ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@blaireshoe8738]

@@ahoardersheart It's great to hear that the family's helping out where they can! We see so much of what you're doing and so little of what they're doing it can seem like a very disproportionate workload to us. Maybe in future videos you could give a shoutout to your husband or sons and show an area they worked on!

[@ahoardersheart]

Blaire Shoe that is a very good idea!! Thank you!!! Hubby is camera shy and when I recorded the kids they disabled my comments!! That why I just recorded myself!!
