How to Organize 30 Spaces in 30 Minutes!

[@katefree9539]

I have been watching your stuff for a few months now. I have watched others for years, but since I started watching you, it has been a game changer! I have debilitating physical restrictions, so this has to happen. I have decluttered ( I love your ideas for this!), I have determined that I am 100% CRICKET!!!! I have followed your tips to organize your daily routines. I have a book for "to dos," but it never became easy until I followed the routines. I have the tall sea grass basket and the gold colored folder hangers. I already had some of your management book stuff, but your way is awesome. Thank you. I also love how you have been real and honest. When you were procrastinating watching TV because you were overwhelmed. That is reality. Things stay working well following your tips until life happens, and you fall off the bandwagon. Lol It's okay not to be perfect. You know what works and can go back to things when you have recovered. Lol. Thank you for everything ❤️

[@therealJamieJoy]

@@katefree9539 So happy for you! Where did you find the gold folder hangers? I have chronic pain and some mobility issues. Leaving stuff where I can grab it easily is super helpful to me. :) Also a cricket, but it kind of looks like I am a butterfly because so much stuff has to be out so I can use it -- like small appliances -- for example.

You need to see a neurologist. I get these, you will be alright with the correct care. An optician deals with the eye, but these are coming from the brain. I’ve been suffering for 20 years, just happened yesterday in my retina specialist’s office. I had to beg him not to call an ambulance. Told him it’s normal for me. I don’t vomit, I see intricate designs like oriental rug designs lol. We’re all different! Please see a neurologist. God love you!❤

[@darladellana4961]

You're the only person who's ever mentioned experiencing "that flashy light thing". I have had them from time to time for 25 years. I'm 63 years now and most people will agree that I am still perfectly normal. Strangely, I told more than a few physicians about the flashy episodes and most of them didn't identify it as ocular migraines. They just shrugged it off! So I continued on, hoping that it wasn't indicative of brain cancer or something. Sometimes the flashes start after I look directly at a bright light. Other times, I know stress was the trigger. (I never have vomited though. I'm sorry for you about that.) So don't worry too much, Cas. Thanks for all your excellent content. Love ya!

[@rockyandmiles9889]

It’s called “ocular migraine’s “ … they are scary but not terribly concerning. They are triggered by stress!!! No need to worry but definitely try to get some rest !! Ps; I’m an optician 🤓 Edit: if it’s continued or not improving, or just to ease any concerns) see an Eye Doctor or your PCP, just in case!

My husband has horrible migraines so he has done a LOT of research.... He shares that research with me.... 😳 There are so many things that are under the migraine umbrella! Yes what you are experiencing is a migraine - auras, blindness, vomiting... 😔 Changes in hormones can start migraines or new types of migraines... 🤔 so definitely a good idea to talk it over with your doctor to see what your triggers might be... start keeping a simple food diary. My husband has to avoid onions (cooked are okay in small quantities), chocolate, processed meat products containing nitrites and nitrates - he can eat only kosher hotdogs.... Hope you are able to identify your triggers so you can avoid them 💕

One of my favorite organizing projects: I do quite a bit of baking, so I grouped baking soda, baking powder, salt and cream of tartar in a shallow square plastic container. When I'm following a recipe, I pull this out and put it on the counter - it's so much easier to pull out and put away one thing instead of several. To make this even better, I purchased small cans of baking powder that have a metal cross piece for leveling the measuring spoon. Then I emptied these and filled them with baking soda , salt and a specialty leavening that I also use (Bakewell Cream). I wrapped the containers in pretty contact paper and labeled the lids. Now they match, are pretty, and are easy to pull out and to use. I keep the backup supplies elsewhere. It did take a little time to create, but I enjoy it every time I'm baking cookies or cakes.

[@Romans828girl]

Using baking powder containers for the other powders you will be measuring with a spoon is genius.

[@gailmariage5318]

I absolutely love this idea. I no longer bake much, but this is sensational.

I often mix dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl and then put a sheet of waxed paper on top. There are less steps to do the next day, when I'm prepping a meal. It seems like less than half the work, when you split it up. :)

[@chris...9497]

To prepare for future decluttering sessions, try this: Get a pad of small Post-its or a roll of painter's tape and mark them with the current month and year. Go through your dishes, cookware, bakeware, appliances, orphaned cords, etc and tag them with one of the prepared date markers. When you use an item, remove its date marker. The next time you go through decluttering, you are better able to determine if the item is worth keep or that it's time for it to go. If it stays, leave the date marker on; in another year you may finally be convinced.

[@chris...9497]

Freezers work through the movement of cold air through the items stored there. That basic principle argues against the use of solid bins to consolidate your frozen foods. Blocking air flow makes your freezer work harder and makes it harder for frozen items to reach subfreezing temperatures quickly. Better to use pierced materials like plastic or metal bins with an open mesh or pierced design. Better still, use wire containers, the wider the weave the better.

I've had that kind of migraine before. I started having the flashing lights when I was a teenager. I started going blind with them in my 30s. The first time it happened I didn't know what was happening and I went blind while driving home from work. I ended up hitting a car before I could stop, but no one was hurt. I ended up going to the emergency department where I found out that having those kinds of migraines means you're at a higher risk of having a stroke. So be careful and take care of yourself! I enjoy your videos!

[@maitei7]

Sorry Cas, It's called migraines with aura. It's your body's way of letting you know the migraine is coming. It's triggered mainly by stress or certain foods. Once the aura starts you might wanna get started on an NSAID like ibuprofen and since you already know you start vomiting, take an antiemetic and just lie down with cold compresses and rest. It significantly reduces symptoms. If you need anything stronger consult your doctor. Hope it's helpful. And by all means never drive when you start having an aura it is dangerous.

[@melissanorrbom4734]

My mom gets the aura at the onset of a migraine and she can often head it off with some pain meds and a caffeinated soda helps. I don't get a warning and it's infrequent, but I will take pain meds and lay down in a quiet dark room. I can't tolerate light or noise during them.

[@chantalfibrohope]

I’ve had migraines since I was 5 years old and I am 53 now! I’m so sorry that you are experiencing this. It sounds like you are having (ocular migraines, no pain) and also classic migraines with aura ( aura, visual disturbance; then the knife in the eye feeling pain with or without vomiting.) The main thing that you will want to remember is to TIME YOUR MIGRAINE when the aura starts. If it lasts more than 20 minutes, you should be seen by a doctor. The old belief was that migraines aren’t very serious, but if you have what is called “prolonged auras” they can be serious and lead to a stroke. Low blood sugar can trigger migraines, stress, weather changes, hormones, bright lights, certain foods all can trigger migraines. Every one of us has different triggers. But, I have found that keeping my blood sugars stabilized is the key. Eat low carb and Don’t skip meals! Love your videos! You do a great job! The poop 💩 with the new 🐶 -so relatable! 😂

[@lucystrider728]

You poor honey with that headache! You might possibly have a trigger in your diet, either a food or a chemical, though it sure looks like stress set it off. If you have them often, try using organic food, experiment eliminating common triggers like red dye and gluten, if you are lucky you may well find there is something you can avoid and not have the number or intensity of headaches. Also get bloodwork done to look for possible clues like metabolic markers or vitamin deficits. We are rooting for you, you deserve happiness and we need you well because you help us so much!

[@LovinLifesJourney]

I'm sorry you had such a stressful day Cas. I find that if I take Excedrin Migraine as soon as I can after the flashing lights appear it prevents the rest from happening.

I am SO sorry about your incident with precious Penny!😞 I absolutely hate it when my pets get sick in any way and I am a nervous wreck. That absolutely leads to a headache and the headache makes me feel anxiety and panic! I am 60 now and was SO much better at handling these situations when I was 30 than now at 60. I think my brain suffered great injury by raising 4 kids, homeschooling for 21 years, and many pets over the years.

[@curiouscitizen4098]

Yes Cas, I have had migraines since I was 17 years old. Those "auras" are very common with migraine sufferers! They still don't know what causes it and there is no way to stop them. I have found over the years that I do have triggers. Some of them being bright lights, an empty stomach, being overheated, and being under stress. However, I think hormonal fluctuations play a part also. The older I get the less frequently they occur. The best thing you can do is get in a quiet, dark room and take a nap. If you have an empty stomach, eat a snack. Yours must have been a terrible one, since you were vomiting. I consider myself lucky because even though I got nauseous sometimes, it was rare for me to throw up. I took Imitrex twice and all it did was make me sicker and it felt like my blood pressure bottomed out. Not good. I empathize, I have been there dozens of times. Remember to take care of yourself and keep doing what you are doing. You are an inspiration to so many!

My biggest win this week was adding a “clutter catcher” to my purse. It is just a thin desk organizer tray that sits on top of everything else in my purse. That way when I drop something in my purse (keys, tissues, mail, etc) it doesn’t go into the main purse but drops into the clutter catcher. Then when I get home all I have to do is pull the tray out and deal with its contents. No more having to dejunk my purse. I’m in love.

I get those, too. I call them visual migraines. Mine are like splashes or starbursts in front of my eyes, and they don't really flicker, but they do prevent me from seeing in that spot. They'll spread from a small pinpoint to a huge splash that affects my sight for a little while. Unfortunately for me, when the splashes fade away (usually takes about 20 minutes), I do get a headache, though I've learned to go ahead and take pain reliever when I start seeing the splashes, and that helps with the headache.

Yes I get those migraines. There are clues that they will happen even a few days before: mood changes, fatigue, dizziness. If you can take Advil with the aura sometimes you can avoid the pain part.

The end of these videos are GOLD. Like if you aren’t into cleaning, cluttering, organizing just watch the last 5 minutes of all the video they are GOLD lmfao 🤣

[@maryellenyork2819]

Yes! A feel-good video because I do most of what you suggested. I have used drawer dividers for decades. I sort my socks by color in tissue boxes in my drawer. All my kitchen drawers have dividers. My pantry has free boxes covered with matching DT contact paper. I buy extra shelves for bookcases and kitchen cabinets so I don't have wasted air space or struggle to get the bottom item in a stack. Clothes are organized by color and season. My clutter issue to change is having too much stuff. Thank you. This may be the first organizing video that didn't leave me feeling guilty.

I love the ‘stayed to the end’ episodes. You are so funny and we cannot make these things up!

[@lisamorris4232]

I use a lazy Susan for spices in my narrow cupboard. Just turn it to find your herb or spice. Also, for all the bad press against melon ballers, I do use a melon baller for melon and it is great to get seeds out of hard winter squash. Thanks for all the tips and tricks!

[@Bemusedbeyondbelief]

Use mine for squash too! Also great for pickled onions. Scoop ‘em out the jar, no rolling off and the excess vinegar drains out the hole.

[@swrigley9861]

I use my melon baller to scoop the greens off the tops of strawberries. It's so much faster and keeps more of the strawberry than using a knife.

[@lateonaname]

I use it to scoop out the apple core when it’s cut in half

Yes!!! I get those migraines. They are awful!! With me before the hurling, I lose my speech and can’t put words or sentences together. It’s really scary. It takes a few days to recover too. Prayers for you cuz I know I need them when I have a migraine. Great tips though. ❤❤❤

[@suzifitzpatrick1802]

That’s what happens to me, minus the hurling. It’s very scary.

[@loveandfuzzydusters]

@@suzifitzpatrick1802 yes. As soon as I start seeing the sparkling light I just want to cry because I know what I’m on for. I’m sorry this happens to you also.

[@crinick9344]

I found that the best way to organize spices is to put all green together and the same with red and yellow. Makes for a lot less to paw through

[@olivemaycards]

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of sorting spices by color but that makes a lot of sense!

[@annettesapiano9668]

I sort mine by sweet or savory, with the seasoned salts and the peppers in their own category.

My husband used to have frequent, debilitating migraines. Then he got a piercing in a special place of his ear that actually cured them. I never would have believed it would work! I hope you look into it for yourself. Thanks for the awesome videos!

[@mindyhein9186]

I put hooks like those in our bedroom years ago to put clothes that could be worn again without washing and to keep them off the floor. Lots of good tips!

[@lizziemg3486]

OHHH and my last big one was when Brinklee swallowed 2 coins and again had a surgery in May. In an effort to protect her from the other dog when she came home, I bent over the other one who immediately jumped up into my forehead, her collar hit my forehead and 3 hours later I came home with stitches which were black and I had to wear at my son's medical school graduation. Cool thing: I was his first patient when he took those stitches out the day after his graduation. But these kinds of things happen like all the time! You just crack me up! Love your hard work and efforts always!

[@lateonaname]

I’m sure moving stress is a huge factor contributing to your migraines 😣 looking forward to seeing you new home ! Also despite you are looking sooooo good Cas ☺️ I really like the clean make up look and your hair looks fantastic . Looking effortlessly pretty

[@amandayoung9813]

I was going to say the same thing!

[@LeannaRuthJensen]

I just tried to take your quiz and had to quit because apparently I have multiple personality disorder. In my office I am a cricket, my craft room a bee, in my kitchen I am a ladybug, in my bedroom a butterfly... So there were always multiple right answers for me. But your tips are good irregardless, thanks.

Love the household management binder!!! Still need to fill it out but it's printed! ..mmAnd need to put it in a binder... And get all the house info from the husband 😂 but that's an amazing safety net ❤

[@teagannovak3120]

I want to buy, and i know it's only $5, but I'm afraid it will have a bunch of irrelevant categories for a non-homeowner. I'm a single mom, living in a rental apartment, hardly scraping by (financially AND mentally) but I'm trying to reign in the chaos and take back control of my life. I've been working on decluttering, A LOT, and have reached the point of most resistance 😅 budgets and calendars mostly.

[@shimmerofadiamond]

@@teagannovak3120 I don't have kids or pets so I didn't use that BUT it's more valuable than something else that could cost $5, we can waste $5 in dollar tree and not even like it when we get home 🤣 but if you know someone that has a part that you don't need ... New gift for them lol

[@carolineL1124]

What you describe with your headache and the lights you see is called an optical migraine. Sadly I have a few of those along with a few other women I know. It can be stress and hormone induced. I hope you have found some relief by the time you read this comment. Also Btw, I love your helpful videos and how FREAKIN hilarious you are! I have had plenty of dog poop cleanup mishaps myself, esp when the kids (or husband ) are in charge LOL, so I completely understand and I think all of your viewers appreciate how you are just a real person and Mom and how totally relatable you are. blessings to you and prayers for migraine relief.

[@Jane-cr9bp]

Yes - I get auras before migraines too. You have my sympathy. As I have gotten older, they are less frequent, but stress seems to be a factor in their appearance. Moving house is definitely a stress factor for you! Thank you so much for your channel. I have instinctively been doing Ladybug organising, and you have inspired me to get on with decluttering tasks I have been avoiding. Changes are afoot!

[@bonnieinthespirit6373]

Oh ! I had pulled a muscle from the armpit to the back . Little swollen . The pain left . It stayed gone for 3 hours. I woke I wanted instant relief!! I did the liquid stuff again! I went back to sleep . No pain when I woke 6 am. Went back to sleep praying for all in any pain. To be healed ; set free:!

[@shadowchaserabg]

I really struggle with keeping organized and I'm a visual organizer with ADHD who forgets about things if I don't see them. I liked a lot of your tips, ESPECIALLY the one about putting all the bedding sets together in a pillow case, BRILLIANT! It was also nice to see that several of the organizing tips you gave were ones I already do, which I discovered by much trial and error. I just found your channel and it's been nice to see all kinds of easy tips. :)

[@lisajoy9588]

My migraines follow that pattern mostly. First the glimmer, then the blindness. Then I get the pain and lastly the vomiting. Migraines suck. ☹️ One tip, if you take something for pain as soon as you get the glimmer, it will sort of head the pain off so it won’t be as bad.

[@lisafarmer6730]

Can’t wait to see the new house!!

[@kellia2182]

I just had one of those migraines. I was trying to drive home from work, luckily it’s only about a 5 minute or less drive, tried to hold the hurling back by keeping my mouth shut while grabbing my empty coffee cup to hurl into and instead it all came out my nose. Super pleasant. Lunch smelled way better the first time. Then I slipped trying to let my dogs out and ended up soaking wet. I was a hot mess. My migraines are typically triggered by hormones, yay, but sometimes they are caused by other things like stress. Sounds like you had plenty to be stressed about. Thank you for sharing! Your story made me laugh. It sucks, but that’s life and we need to be able to laugh about it.

[@sandralockstein2597]

This one session actually has helped me.I live in a mobile home so storage is practically nil. This will help me.

[@kimmeeks6766]

The sheet organization is exactly why I love Cas!! She gets me! I keep mine in a trunk at the foot of my bed, it kinda pains me to throw them in there unfolded but 2 seconds later when the lid is down, I feel freedom! It never bothers me again, ever ! All of my clothes that wrinkle are hung, everything else is thrown in a drawer with some kind of divider in it Those plastic shoe boxes from the dollar store are great! I just throw all of the wire socks in one and all of the “other” socks in another. Underpants in another. Same with baby clothes ! Just throw them in a drawer

[@lynhead52]

Loved your video. Normal migrane- my dh got the flashing stuff. I get the brain zap, little dizzy then pain. I've had the ice pick headaches too not fun. Looking forward to more organizing stuff. I wish you would do a downsizing video for us going to smaller spaces.

[@lindabergevin9943]

When you get to menopause - the migraines should subside. Sending a virtual hug to you for coping with all fronts during a migraine.! Strong woman! We all love you out here in cyber-land. Take Care of YOU!!!!

We use freezer baskets that are wide and have the holes in them. I have it on my phone where things are. Left top side use up, right top chicken, etc. So much easier than digging and food falling out. We vacuummseal meat and date it in top right corner. Also, if you use large gallon size vacuum seal bags, they can be washed and reused. Frig freezer has a basket for breakfast, broths, leftovers and veggies/fruit.

[@Rosa-kf6yy]

I love the ending. So true. Sometimes life just goes bonkers all at once. I had a migraine like that once, during a stressful time in my life. First the flashing lights came, then I had to sit down because I could not see. It didn't last too long. Afterward I just felt sick in general. I did not throw up though and haven't had one as bad since (even though things have gotten just as stressful at times).

[@amyellison1595]

Cas, I'm so glad you do these videos! Thank you!!! and you are so fun to watch and have really changed how my home functions. In my home I'm a cricket but in my workspace I lean way more towards a bee. I just love to SEE an organized workspace. You inspire me, and good luck on your move. Can't wait to see the new space.

[@TheShizNat]

I used to get migraines so badly. I mean full on, blindness, vomiting migraines. For me, when I pierced my ears with a daith piercing, they went away. It doesn’t work for everyone, but it was literally life-changing for me. If you do decide to do it, go to a specialist in piercings, not just someone at the mall. Good luck! Thanks for sharing your real life.♥️

[@paulalebreux2096]

Hi Cass, love your videos, very helpful! YES for the migraines. It is called Ocular Migrain. It is something you definitely should tell your eye doctor about.

[@louisehorsfall9400]

Feeling pro as I have done all of these! One of those that I didn't think twice about doing as soon as I moved in, was hooks for clothes that are mid-wear. A few weeks back i was watching one of your videos while cooking dinner (as you do) and spontaneously pulled out and decluttered the medicine drawer while the mushrooms fried. This freed up room to contain all the overflow from around the hosue and i realised i had a lot of duplicates. It also created space around the house for other things. One simple, quick declutter, helped to unstick other areas. I didn't need a weekend off.

[@marykonrath496]

I always love your content but what I actually love most is how very real you are! I absolutely love that you share your life; like this one with the dog poo and your hurling! LOL! Thanks for sharing not only your amazing organization and decluttering tips, but also real life! God bless!

I have my spices on a turntable and I find it wastes space both on the turntable and in the cabinet (square peg/round hole kinda thing). I like your idea for the trays. Thanks for that tip!

[@RebelAlliance42]

I'm so lucky that I've never had a headache, and I am soooo incredibly grateful! But, I walk my neighbour's dogs twice a week, and yesterday they found a dead seagull at the beach. Dogs LOVE dead things. They think it's GLORIOUS! They were rolling and rubbing themselves in it! Oh, they thought they'd struck gold! 🤮😂 oh, my gag reflex, I was sore from dry retching! Thank God I didn't vomit, they'd probably enjoy that too. Oh, they're lucky they're so adorable!

[@melonyrobbins9809]

Thank you for all your ideas & encouragement! After years of semi-organization, I am finally in the mindset to get going! My daughter is coming in for a week to see our new granddaughter & help me declutter some challenging areas. I am a true Cricket. The neat-ish piles all around my house are a tell. Whatever we get done will be the jump-start I needed. I can'twait!

[@lizziemg3486]

hahaha...yes, I have the aura sometimes with the migraine and my friend's daughter went half blind. Who can explain the crazy and the pain to a non-migrainer?! AND my husband for years said we do EVERYTHING THE HARD WAY: raising 5 kids and now 3 young adults, my mom and 2 golden retrievers; one who swallows socks whole and has had several surgeries (her file at the vet is one of their larger ones!lol) and just daily SITCOM MOMENTS! It's a good thing we can laugh! My mom feels like she now lives in a sitcom at our house! Never a dull minute. It's a great life! Take care you!!!
