I like tidy bc when it's messy or unorganized I can't find anything. I have been messy but that really stresses me, it feels overwhelming and the self shame for not is miserable. Once I got in order, I just keep it up and it actually saves me time bc it's easier to clean , put away or access.

Your hairstyle change is very flattering. We had a very good squash year here. We were able to donate generous amounts to the local food bank. Not so for the peppers this year! I have had to ignore others that state the reason my home is well run is that I have time and they do not.( I was a single parent with a least two jobs taking classes). I would offer suggestions and even help them but learned to keep to myself on this.

[@marljusweety]

I tried all of the things you mention. But even if you can do this, not everyone can do it. I have adhd, was raising a kid with severe mental and sometimes physical challenges on my own and because of this struggled with depression. Im glad it works for you, but having others say stuff like this to me when I was at rock bottom only made me feel worse, I felt like a failure. I only got the surroundings I wanted when my kid moved out at 18 years of age and I had moved in with my partner who does not have adhd and support me through rough patches. I work hard to keep the house clean and tidy, because it makes me feel good and acomplished. But I hope everyone know that you dont need a tidy home for it to be a good home. Prioritise and put family, mental and physical health first. And know that everyone has periods in their life when having a tidy livingroom or kitchen is impossible, and thats ok. Life will get easier in time and if you want a tidy home, you will get there when you have time and energy to do it. It doesnt matter, its just stuff. People matter. Do people first, stuff can wait.

[@Carolmaizy]

I think it's important to remind yourself that it doesn't have to be done all at once. You can do anything for 5 minutes, even when you struggle with depression and other issues. It may be hard, but it's possible. It may be the last thing you want to do, but 5 minutes is doable. And 5 minutes today, 5 minutes tomorrow, 5 minutes two days later, really will make a difference. Baby steps.

[@BL-rb7jm]

This is the 1st time I came across you and I decided I'm subscribing you think the way I do I'm a farm girl from years ago and I had a upbringing with a woodstove a garden And an Apple and cherry orchard it was lovely and I was such a minimum as way back then and over the years I acquired stuff because I thought what would it be like to have stuck that I'd never had in my life so if I look back now all that stuff is gone I wish I had the million dollars I spent on all the stuff and just to think that I'm going back to my original upbringing That was on the farm. And it was an easy life it was mentally relaxing having hardly anything but just what we needed in our family. I would get up just as the sun would get-up-and-go to bed an hour after the sunset it was amazing life and I remembered the well water and I remember the fresh air and laying in the tall grass on a summer's nightand looking up at night at the stars. This was the life. Then you leave the farm and you The city and you see all the fast food restaurants and you start spending your money and then you go to neighbors who live in the city and they have fancy this and fancy shoes and fancy cars and fancy everything and then you get consumed in the fanciness that is all around you. But then you get older and you say to yourself what was that all about. And then you get to the point and you say all I need like my dad used to say is a roof over my head food in my little tummy and a bed to sleep on. So that's the basics however we can't always live like that as we well know. But I didn't have a mixer. I had to do everything by hand. And the bread tins we used it for making meat loaf and cake pans. This cut back on a ton of space. My mind was clearer. I had pet dogs cats and 3 pet monkeys and I'll tell you having those pets out in the country and even when I lived along the coast of British Columbia appearing Canada that was a gas growing up as a kid.

[@carolynmerritt7100]

Girl you have me cracking up because you have let the cat out of the bag 😂😂😂😂. I have at least 15 coffee mugs and i don't even drink coffee. I just like to use them for my drinks. But I AM listening while i load the dishwasher and about to stitch a lining in one of my many jackets. I have lot of things that i want to dispose of but for the exact reasons you pointed out, I still have them and my mental is sooo tired. I have time, but I don't want to use it doing chores all of the time. Chores are never ending, ugh. They are going to be there when I'm ready or forced to get them done right 👍?

I struggled for years to get a handle on my housework. Getting rid of a lot of belongings has really made a difference. But honestly after applying all the tips I was still struggling a lot of the time. I recently found out I have ADHD. Now I understand why I can't get a grip on things and why life is so tiring to me. Discovering this was hard but also so helpful. Now I understand why the regular tips/hacks/routines didn't work for me. I am now using all kinds of ADHD tips and tricks and that next to accepting myself for who I am that has made a world of difference.

You made a lot of great points. Today most people have an abundance of things and become overwhelmed with it all and then don't know what to do with it. I've come to the point that if I have to buy something that's not a need, something else has to go. Our church just began a share ministry where if people have something they want to get rid of that is in good shape and works well, we put it on the bulletin board and in the newsletter. It's all for free. Makes things easier to get rid of and help someone else out who needs something.

I'm 69, a procrastinator, lazy and messy. My house and yard are a wreck...oh, my garage too. ...I won't go into details, too embarrassed. I only work, would you believe to clean house for an 83 year old woman twice a week for 4 hrs,, total, and drive my son home from work twice a week. The rest of my time is spent on my laptop. I only wish I had the energy. My thought to pass on is to not hold on to 'emotional stuff'. My brother sister and parents have all passed...I've got a garage and two closets and another room Filled with 'emotional stuff'. When my son was at home I made myself clean so he would clean...it didn't help him, today at 26 he won't clean. On my kitchen window, refg, and bathroom mirror I've put post-it notes "apathy is not an option". My grammy Molly said 'one on one in the wash and one in the draw to avoid over buying. So now that i've not got the get up and go, my brain is yelling at me Clean Up because you don't want to leave for your son what you had to clean up in your Mom's home...4 levels of 35 years of accumulation. So my question to anyone who has read this far, thank you, is if you are addicted to a chair and computer morning noon night How Did You Break The Addiction. Thank You in advance!!!

Thank you for sharing! I relate so much. Sometimes if I can afford it I’ll pay for a house cleaner to come when I need a hard reset - can be so much easier to keep it clean from there than clean up a huge mess. I also like to make a list of fun things I’d really like to be doing instead of scrolling my phone and try to do one every day - could be just taking a stroll or reading a book. I think it’s important to center your happiness instead of feeling bad about what didn’t get done. I hope you start to feel better soon! 🧡 Sounds like a lot of loss in your life which is always so hard. Hugs

Y in the world r u blaming urself when u KNOW how old u r? 2. What physical n mental health problems do u have? 3. If ur parents were hoarders, what makes u think u can do any better? 4. Do u do the cleaning for that old lady for the money? 5. What sruff do u watch/read on the net? 6. Dont u get bored of it? (asking cos i m an addict too, but, i do get terribly bored of it) 7.What was the nature of ur job before retirement? 8.Do u follow any particular religion? And now for some opinions n suggestions of my own.... 1.I think u surely have add/adhd n maybe even depression. 2. U clearly miss human company, thats y u r taking the help of the internet to kill ur boredom. 3. I suggest u dont worry so much about what u will leave for ur son. I m quite sure he will call the trash disposers (whatever they r called) n throw everything away. 4. I too m a messy person by nature n i m not terribly ashamed of it sometimes, but, sometimes i feel extremely frustrated.

[@username00009]

@@maryanne7161 you can hire someone to help you get a head start on the garage; you just need someone who will not judge and who will be an extra set of arms and legs. If that’s not an option, maybe try Swedish Death Cleaning or Marie Kondo’s first book. I have the same struggle with just wanting to research and plan how I’m going to do things so those types of books are good because they are highly actionable. Mel Robbins has a good tactic that involves counting backwards to “launch” yourself into action. Just decide on a very specific task that you’re going to do at the end of the countdown. I also live Dana K. White’s audiobooks that she narrates herself; they’re great to listen to while decluttering. Her no mess decluttering method is covered in a few KZbin videos and it’s kind of mind blowing for someone like me who wants to follow the professional organizer rules (clear the space, sort items, etc.).

[@katherinespencer2073]

I often hit on random YT channels & there are things that I see people really struggle with. I do not like a house personally that does not have a lot of stuff. I just make sure that I always put everything back in its place & know exactly what I have & where. I love my collectibles, plants, books, art. Other people don't, they can visit somewhere else. The trick is to have very organized days. Vacuum every morning after I feed the poultry & budgie before I eat my big meal of the day. That keeps the house more dust free & curtains only need taking down to wash 2x a year. Walls only get washed down every 2nd yr. at end of heating season, so that I can preserve that particular shade that seemed so important back 5 yrs ago when I invested time in paint selection. I cook large amounts of food 1x a week only. (no don't have a freezer, only a small bar fridge) Once the 1 ring on stovetop & microwave are going, the sink lined w. newspaper the veg peels etc just keep collecting while things cook, put aside to cool for storage. Pots etc can all be used several times, washed at end of day by hand to save water & electricity. Never waste electricity to heat an oven unless I'm doing Xmas baking or 5 or more batches casseroles which don't do as well in microwave, or roasting pan of green pea soup under a ham. This all saves time, water, dish detergent. Makes other days less hectic. I do a load of wash each evening or early a.m. while electricity is in the cheaper time slot. All clothing year round is hung on the $ store umbrella style hangers by having it on a rod suspended between 2 brackets above the back door. Then moved to a broom handle between 2 hanging basket brackets on the back wall where the clothing blows dry, wrinkle free. Comes in later to be put away immediately....kids do folding of dishcloths, socks, undies etc & take to put away. This starts at age 2 or 3 at most. If the clothing is not completely dry, it gets moved to the inside bar to dry overnight...put away in morning. I sometimes have to hang the thing on a large hanging basket infront of windows (a bracket for those is in the center of each window frame) if going out to work extra early. This keeps things from wrinkling. Those umbrella style hangers can also go on a very short clothes line between 2 trees or a wall & a tree or post & large sheets can hang on 2 of them, spread at a bit of a distance. Stuff this way can be all brought in in a few minutes! Just 2 or 3 hangers w. lots of stuff. I only use face cloths by sinks for drying hands, get changed daily, on the standing holder (made for coffee cups originally w. the side arms taken out) rather than big towels where everyone uses a corner yet the entire towel gets washed, wasting water, soap, power, time. I have 7 garden beds, huge lawns, rent raised bed gardens in the village where I have to shop for everything I ever need 20 min. away. I grow low maintenance things there since I only use the car for monthly shopping. My workplace over an hour away, in the opposite direction. Free-range eggs are sold to a local eatery/shop/postal outlet. To save $ all water is let into a pitcher by each sink while waiting for hot to arrive & that gets all kinds of uses incl. watering plants. All rainwater is bottled so that more capacity is created in my 2 containers. That is used in gardens, for washing the car, tools, my hair, flushing toilet. I consider all daylight hours to be work hours, but evenings are for those crafts which have longterm value to the family (quilting, furniture restoration or building etc) and using my computer to learn things & learn about people. I have rarely ever wasted money on a tv & as far as I know only 1 of my kids has one in her home. No tv. no snaking. Hope that this is of help to a few people who struggle w. life in their homes.

Many of these things are unique to our family needs, some are just things that can often run short in stores when there are supply chain issues. What would be the “truth” for that?

[@nathaliedube2913]

Yep. Diesel shortage in two states currently...

I agree about the effect of words on a young mind. My brother had a very business focus mind as a child. He developed a small business were he dropped off order books and picked up orders every week. Then he ran into a teacher from our school. When that person found out it was a for profit business, he lectured my brother on his selfishness on not giving the money to charity. My brother has never had another business.

This video's set up is ingenious: the delicious food (I also love the fruitiness of Aleppo pepper) mixed with the educational stuff!

lunch looked delicious!

[@RD-bq6uq]

What kind of squash was that? I couldn’t quite understand what you said. And what was all on the sandwich, looks delicious

[@Nourishingminimalism]

It's a patty pan squash. The sandwich was: patty pan, avocado, tomato and leftover baked salmon. ❤️

[@diannamallow5195]

Where did you get the electric plate to cook your sandwiches?

A lot of times we have to not only believe it that we can do something buy Proving it to actions. Sometimes we are afraid that we can do something because somebody told us in the past that we couldn't or because we have convinced ourselves that we can't do it. I think the greatest sleep that we can do it and find out what happened. I think fear is a controler. And every time we don't do something we always make excuses. Oh well I didn't have the time to do that anyways. There's always some excuse for not doing what we knew is best. For me it was always trying to use an excuse why nothing turned out the way I wanted it to do. Such as the teacher was right i'm not that smart. My mom was right I can't do anything right. My grandpa was right I will never be pretty enough for any man to love me. So what do you do you don't read you don't educate yourself because you're not smart enough. Or you don't do anything properly because after all your mom says that you can't do anything right. And you don't believe in love. A new question love. You question whether or not somebody does really love you. Because your grandfather told you that no man will ever love you you're not pretty enough. So these are an example of things that were programed. But if we take a leap of faith and say, so what just yry, whats the worst thing that could happen. And usually it never does happen. Ninety five percent of the negative thoughts that we have in our mind never really happen. But because of fear we never try. And if you are a perfectionist it can also be a form of narcissistic personality. After all we don't want to look bad to others. I think of the greatest man who ever lived, jesus. Was perfect but he was humble.

[@BL-rb7jm]

When god created our brain he knew what He was doing. But he didn't want it to be filled with negative thoughts and negative beliefs. When we put in our brain something that we think is true we start to live it. If you tell a kid that he's smart without making him into a narcissist he will become smart. If you tell the kid that he's a dummy he'll become a dummy because he hasn't been programmed properly. So it's up to us to program ourselves because the brain doesn't know anything other than what you tell it. We all have that little inner child from our pass. It's good to get rid of anything that you were told and that is still in your psyche. Talk to that little girl inside of you or that little boy and say to yourself, " hey i am here for you now, And I promise I'll take care of you. Look in that mirror and say I'm sorry I didn't take care of you.I'm sorry I didn't have time for you.I'm sorry that I loved others too hit you to swear at you to igniteglect you. Whatever happened to your childhood is what you should say to yourself i'm sorry for doing that. So in? Other. Words whatever somebody did to you when you were a very vulnerable child and No one was there for you now you are there for yourself. You don't have to feel guilty for not being perfect and that little girl should not be guilty and that little girl should not feel bad and be told that. She is bad. There's a great book and it's called the inner child of your pass. Our past has done us either positive or negative to that little child inside. So now it's time to love that girl .❤

If you take all your coffee cups that you don't want and break them up and then put them in a concrete create slab and put that slab. As a walkway around your house it will look nice. You can make your slab round or you could make it square. However you'd have to ask somebody how you could protect it from getting broken every time you walk on it. But I thought that would look nice

[@jjjackson5183]

Honey, get a house with a basement or attic and 100 plastic 18 gallon bins. Problem solved.

[@nysigal]

When I moved into my last apartment, I couldn't find a coffee cup that first morning. I used a measuring cup!

[@shinetta87]

I really like this exercise. (One thing though, please recycle)

[@joannevans2505]

I’m in love with that gray streak that frames your face.

[@Nourishingminimalism]

🥰 Thank you! I started going gray at 25, and it mainly is still just in that one spot. I like it too.
