Since I've been suffering with depression for a few years and saw my productivity as a huge challenge I've learned a lot through my mom. She use to advice me to focus on one thing at a time. For example, I found it really hard to look at my extremely cluttered closet, but if I focused on just the socks, I could get it done easily and maybe even take the next step, such as just shorts or just shirts. It's kind of hard to explain it, but it just seems much more manageable to only focus on that one task instead of too much. Kind of like the example you gave with the big tasks and forget about the small ones.

[@starlaks588]

Thank you for that information. One thing at a time sounds great. I've been suffering from depression myself and I find that I quit overwhelmed at times, so this is the advise I needed. Thank you, God Bless.

"When you win the morning you win the day." truer words have never been said! I woke up losing this morning and it's carried throughout the whole day haha. Such great tips. Loved the whole video.

[@loveme-up8ze]

Sub for sub?

[@belindalaurie]

+Anna Siddiqui I'll check out your channel :)

[@fieryredhead23]

I used the timer method to motivate myself to finish my doctoral project in grad school. I would work for 40 mins, then break for 20 mins. I would often find that if the 40 mins was up and I was in the middle of a task, I would just finish the task before taking the break. It worked great for a notorious procrastinator like myself. Great tips! Thanks for sharing. :)

[@monicacantu4892]

This works so well for me too.

[@KTBN007]

I really really love this video because it gives you REAL LIFE TIPS, other KZbinrs tend to do too general tips and tricks. Like "have a planner" you went into detail about HOW you use it. Very helpful and effective. Thank you so much xoxoxo

[@ClancyBurkeX]

Omg YES to the dishes in the sink thing. I will never understand why/how people can put them in either. Loved this video!

[@SkeyeU]

This helped me so much. I got my whole house cleaned and organized. Now I have a cleaning routine every morning. It has made things so much easier to clean a little everyday and so far nothing gets super dirty or messy. We even cleaned out the garage. Still have some organizing to do in there but now we can walk in there easily. I make my bed every morning when I wake up,it's been really nice. My husband loves this too.

[@Kimmy2022]

I'm in love with my Plum Paper planner, it really helps me sort out what I need to do big picture wise (monthly) and then break down for weekly goals which I then break down small things I want to get down. It's so helpful when you are trying to drop weight too not just for exercise, but for keeping me accountable for what I eat especially at lunch because at work I am a creature of convenience. Great video, I really liked your tips :)

[@OhCrayyy]

Yesssss!! Thank you for the timer technique idea!! I've been trying to figure out how to slowly start cleaning our apartment that has been super messy since we were traveling a bunch for the last month. Thank youuuu!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@LovesDarkBlue]

My 'timer' method is to put on a specific playlist or album and try to get things done before the music is over. I've been doing that for years! My favorites are soundtracks to musicals 😅

[@Zephyrdoll]

I love this tip! Makes doing chores a lot more fun

[@amirahalieya2633]

I absolutely love all of your simplifying-your-life video series. The way you explain on things is so clear & definitely makes sense. Please do keep up the good job in filming more of this kind of video! Double thumbs to you!👍👍

[@luciac9123]

I also love this video! You're so pleasant & friendly. Very good ideas and not overwhelming. Thank you!

[@helgatt]

I understand what you mean about finding the planning system that works for you. I always want to be organised, but never seemed to be able to stick to using a traditional planner. In the end I discovered the bullet journal concept and haven't looked back. Helps me stay organised and satisfies my creativity :)

[@kadi6042]

Love these kind of videos! You are so natural and awesome!

[@sophiawadt4309]

I was about to watch a ton of videos about organizing your life and be more productive... instead of that, I watched your 2 times! One time to watch and a second time to take notes! Thank you! Don’t need to watch even one more video ❤️

[@ShannahBarrett]

Love videos like this! I also have to clean throughout the week otherwise I have way too much to do and I end up discouraged. I also like to do zone cleaning... that way I just focus on one area or room a week and just do a quick general cleaning of the rest of the house. Much less overwhelming! 😊

[@whatlauralikes.]

Organizing videos are my favorites and you do these so well ! Thank you !!

[@MsHpSauce10]

yayyy!!!! a new video!! I am really loving all of these organization and minimalist videos! I'm 24 and going back to grad school. do you have any tips or ideas for going back to school? I'm going back into dorms too.. worried about living in a small space again!

[@readyandsettochangeplace6620]

One of my favorite videos, Allison Anderson is so nice.

[@MimiLangley]

The timer method is definitely a favorite! 💜

[@samanthaflood6216]

I've been watching you for a long time, and while your makeup and beauty related videos are great, I think you've really found your niche with the organizational/living with less stuff/motivational type videos. You have a very calm demeanor and you lay things out in a very straightforward and easy to follow way. :)

[@HealthyGroceryGirl]

Great video! PLUS I am loving the amazing desk chair behind you! I am a BIG to-do list person. If I don't have a to-do list I am lost ha.

[@drucillajimenez5520]

I love all of your tips, specifically the timer one bc im sure that'll work for me! Thanks!

[@nka30]

Your videos are always so helpful!

[@womenwithwatches4959]

You look so happy in this video! You have a beautiful smile.

[@xomusic1013]

Love this video! Soo helpful especially because I will be going to college in a month! Thank you!!❤️

[@ashlynneal]

I love your personality so much

[@rafadunigan]

You inspired me so so much ... love your vídeos ! I wish i could feel so good in front of the câmera like you do !!!

[@DeonWalker]

This video was so needed in my life right now. Thank you so much for this motivation.

[@djmindy]

Sucks when you work night shifts. Routines out the window lol.

[@Thepublicaccount]

I have sleep problems because I used to work nights and it is hard. Diet,exercise everything is twice as hard plus forget about needing to go shopping.

[@Evee101]

+Katia Grinkov OMG YES!!!

[@carmensta]

my life revolves around my changing shift work hours including nights and weekends. would love to have routine

[@Diane.Bishop]

I really envy people who don't work shifts and are able to have some sort of a routine.

[@lbc116]

Couldn't agree more...especially when you work evenings/nights, your husband works days and you have a toddler. :/

[@faithers1466]

This video came at the perfect time! Love your tips!

[@mikaelamailander3359]

Loooove your organization based videos! So motivating! Thank you. 💛

[@pamelaharrison4657]

Loved all of your tips and ideas! Some I already use, but got a few new ideas too. On a completely random side note, you look so beautiful in this video☺️

[@smatz10]

I love your organization and lifestyle videos! Please keep it up!

[@VeraSoler]

Thanks! I love your tips!!

[@EzgisWorld]

Your hair looks so voluminous in this video! Love it :) Love these tips, thanks!

[@xueweiloh5000]

You're tips are so great !

[@LuusLeertLeven]

I needed this video right now! :D thanks! love your videos!

[@lauramarschke672]

Love the tips, I should try the timer technique when I'm procrastinating. There are a LOT of small cleaning projects that can get done in a short amount of time that I just procrastinate but it feels so much better to get them done. The biggest tip I've learned is the "touch it once" technique... let's say you get the mail (or email!) and you start opening it, and there's a bill and a magazine and junk mail and whatever else, you don't just put them back in a pile and not do anything with it. If you open the bill, pay it... schedule the payment, write the check, etc right then and there. If you can't read the magazine immediately, put it where it belongs (next to the bed or whatever), throw the junk mail away immediately, don't put it down and have to come back to it again. I've found ways to incorporate this into many things in my life (like the dishes!) and just getting things done right away so they don't pile up as much.

[@carolquade]

Watched the whole thing and found some real gems, thank you!

[@shannonperez3779]

I use the timer method in a slightly different way, but it has always worked for me too! Maybe it's the athlete in me, but I have always found that if I am being lazy and unproductive I set a timer for 5-10 minutes and only allow myself that much more time to be a loaf. The counting down is almost like getting ready to start a game or workout and I can feel myself getting hyped to do the most boring tasks like the laundry or a paper. Sounds funny, but it gets me up! Loved the video and I also love my Erin Condren planner too!

[@allygonzales8854]

I needed this video so much! This will definitely help me, the biggest procrastinator in the world, to get summer homework done :)

[@Ellie-jx6kw]

Loved loved loved this one. Good job X

[@m1ssd1tz]

[@donamitra9160]

Good morning !! I watched the video while having my morning tea and I feel refreshed and motivated to organize already!! Your video just came as a suggestion on KZbin and it's the only video I have seen of your channel. love your ideas of having a physical paper planner and the weekly task idea. Subscribed already.keep posting such videos that are easy to do and understand :) have a wonderful weekend :)

[@MizSantis]

[@LittleLulubee]

[@jijyladameenbleu9555]

Thank you Allison. that really helps.

[@theboldlife]

Love these life hacks! Great ideas. I always divide my left overs into containers to eat for lunches instead of putting them back in the fridge in one large container. :)

[@sharmilividyadaran9016]

You truly look amazing here Allison!

[@shelbiej94]

I love the idea of a routine for the little things. I guess I never really thought to do that but it would really help simplify my life! :)

[@violetandmeagan4054]

I love this video!! You're so real which is refreshing. Stay awesome 💜😛

[@loveme-up8ze]

sub for sub?

[@jacobandellie]

+Anna Siddiqui What does this mean? And why did you comment the same thing 4367 times!!!!!

[@loveme-up8ze]

***** I did not comment it 4367 times and it means to subscribe to each other

[@jacobandellie]

+Anna Siddiqui Ok...I'm sorry. 4366 times!! Have you ever heard of sarcasm? Either way, once is enough!!

[@loveme-up8ze]

+Melissa Geittmann either way it's none of your business what I do

[@MissPaulaLove]

These were super helpful tips!

[@CindyGoesCrazy]

I would love to see a planner video! Like how you decorate it, what stickers you use etc.! :)

[@MaryHeatherB]

I love the phrase "win the morning!" So positive. :D Also I'm a planner person 100% (that's what a lot of my videos are about) and gosh taking the time to really use my planner makes all the difference.

[@abbi8943]

great video. always love your videos!

[@anniedube]

VERY useful video! Loved it!

[@victoriamullin8491]

I always feel so motivated when I watch your videos! Also could you do a tutorial on this look? it's very pretty

[@CasuallyMatthew]

creating a weekly routine is so important, I also think crafting productive morning and night routines is just as if not most important

[@mariap888]

Fantastic tips!! Thank you!

[@purnamanana]

The large vs small goals tip is very2 helpful. A lot of things get lost in my to do list. Maybe I'll try the timer method soon

[@Chowleen22]

[@sarahhampton6009]

[@MrsKatharinaIsabel]

[@habibamouly7761]

Your ideas are amazing. My life is almost a mess right now. Its 4 in the morning and still I am awake. But now I am going to sleep and hopefully from tomorrow I want try out ur ideas of organizing life and life goals. Wish me luck. Love. #morerelatedvideosifpossible

[@alessiapandolfi2145]

you're right, although I'm a fan of paper planners, I have to admit that a digital calendar is super useful: when I'm out at a networking event and I manage to get a meeting with a prospect I easily find a free spot without the back and forth of emails.. Google Calendar is the best, it syncs with everything. Having a routine is also a really good tip, as it helps you getting into the flow of the day.

[@pattycandle3596]

I really love this video ! Thank you for all those good tips ! :)

Hi Alison, thanks for these gear tips. 🤗👍🏽

[@mehe123ful]

Awesome and helpful video!!! Also, I LOVE your shirt and your makeup looks AMAZING a tutorial on it would be great!

[@MissVasques]

I like your tips. I use Tide as a timer when I need focus as the timer A) notices when I do something else and stops the timer when you do so, for me, it helps me to not get side-track because it clearly shows in the app statistic etc. B) You can choose different soothing music to have in the background. C) it gives you kinda automatically a 5 min break before next "session". It's supposed use the "pomodoro" technique but you can other intervalls than 25/15 min.

[@susyschwartz2911]

Love your tips !!! I use the counting method. For example: if i need to laundry or fold clothes or put dishes up I will tell myself count to 100 and by the time you have reached 100 you will done. Today I had to wash my hair and I said count to 50 and then you are done shampoo your hair. It's a good way to motivate me but also its a good way to keep me on track and I'm not wasting time shampooing my hair for 5 minutes! Lol.

[@SkeyeU]

Such a great video!!!
