[@jordanpattee3127]

I watch it because I want to be more organized. Even if I don’t have kids

[@cherihendrix3076]

The dot system was a big help with my 4 boys. My laundry helper for the day didn’t have to ask me to identify each piece of clothing. It also helped my husband to get the right shirt on the right kid.

[@Simons5862]

SO SO true on rotating clothes! I only have 3 kids, and going from hot to cold seasons always feel like a monumental, never-ending job!!

could you do a video of what you have for your kids to pick from when making lunches assuming no microwave option

Hi Jordan. I love all of your productivity tips and tricks! Do you have any suggestions for someone who does shift work where every day is totally different?

[@theeGeiisha]

Hi, although I used to love alone and I don't have a family of my own, but I still had the same problem getting my stuff done with different working hours and always a different day off during the week (I had to work Saturdays) so what helped me to get everything done was to make "routines" designed for each different shift. I'd plan when I'd go grocery shopping and doing laundry and all the other things. So when I started early in the morning I'd only plan for a few things after work..on days when I went to work after lunch I knew I could run errands and prepare food for the next day or work.. but it really helped having a schedule for every different work possibility:)

[@theeGeiisha]

Of course I mean "live alone" in my first sentence:D

[@jordanpagecompany]

What Mascha did is exactly what I would suggest. Set up different schedules for every shift scenario!

[@kamioltman8471]

Amber Clark We have this issue too, because of my husband's work schedule. In her block system video she says you can make a different block schedule for each, so I've been working on trying that. I have about 5 different ones so far. I hope that helps answer your question! ❤

“Sleep in till noon” I feel like that was directed at me... 🙄 we get the kids every there week so this week is our last week with them before school starts. They start the week they come back. We’ve reinforced bedtime and getting up and getting dressed once they wake up. They eat school lunches so no rush there. I need to get hooks for back packs though! We’ve done work books all summer since both parents had to agree for the summer program and didn’t. I need a clothes system so going to work on this today.

@@AllInWellness I think it's difficult, especially because the topic of your channel is something very mainstream on KZbin. But I think I have a little video suggestion that you might be able to do, if you want. Basically I would like to know about a couple of simple stretch exercises that you can do right after you wake up, in order to have more mobility to start your day. Not entire Yoga-Workouts or stuff like that, but something that takes max. 2 minutes or so. Any ideas?

Love this, as always you are awesome. Could you please do a clothes rotation / hand me down storage video! I have 5 and am constantly dealing with how to do this well.

[@roxyperson8328]

Kim Jay I keep a foldable net basket in my kids closet and as I realize they outgrew it I throw it in there. That helps a lot.

[@katieamarsh]

I kept some old costco diaper boxes. I label them with a size and throw the clothes in as my older kid grows out. Relabel when the size goes up. I’d wash it, fold it, box it, and put it in the basement. It was ready to go straight into drawers when it was time for that size. As my younger child grows out of things, I either throw it away if it’s in rough shape or I donate it to a charity thrift shop. No mess and it’s a tax write off.

[@sarahs3988]

We have to switch clothes out for fall/winter and for spring/summer with 6 kids it used to be a nightmare having different sizes, seasons etc to go through. Now we have a system set up where each child has their own clothing tote. In each tote are the child has all their off season clothing, and all their hand-me-downs from the child older then them. So for example our oldest daughter has her winter clothes in her box, and any clothes that were too big for her. When it comes time to go through them we will pull down her box, she will put her summer clothes in her tote, find any winter clothes that still fit, and any of the too big clothes that now fit. Any clothes that no longer fit then go into her little sisters tote. My second daughter then does the same, handing down the clothes that don't fit her into our youngest daughters box. Any clothes that she grows out if go into a baby girl clothes tote for if we have another girl. The same with the boys clothes. We no longer worry about sizes or seasons, just take out each child's box one at a time, which we generally spread over a week, and it doesn't feel like such a giant mess or chore anymore. The older kids do it mostly on their own at this point. Just wanted to share because this was a life changer for me with my 6 little ones.

[@donnanorris2939]

Your dot System for telling who’s close is who’s is sheer brilliance!!!! I only had one child, and she is grown and moved out (to college) three years ago. But for those who still have young ones at home, this is a brilliant idea!! (When they outgrow it, just add another dot, & pasa it down to the next child!) Just be sure to try to get at least one brand new thing for the younger ones each year. Make sure to get a (permanent) laundry marker (labeled as such!) kind of Sharpie pen, not just a regular sharpie.

[@bethany3797]

We homeschool, but these tips are just amazing! So so happy to watch and learn!!! Thank you for sharing

[@jordanpagecompany]

[@poppyseed389]

We followed your lunch packing system and couldn't believe how easily our 6 year old could make his own school lunches! He grabs an item from each bin in pantry and fridge and sandwiches in freezer and done. He eats more of it too if he has chosen the items himself. Brilliant idea!

[@MoringLife]

The dots. MINDBLOWING. I have three boys all three years apart but my younger two are practically the same size so their clothes get mixed up all the time. This is GENIUS. 🙌🏻

[@jordanpagecompany]

[@jenniferh3858]

Oh goodness....the dot system...yes thank you for this idea. I have 2 boys 3 years apart and still get confused when I do laundry! And I only have 2 kids😆

I'm starting to implement the dot system. I have 3 girls (14, 11 and 10) the younger 2 wear practically the same size. But, they don't like sharing with each other lol so laundry is a headache for me to figure out whos is whos lol

Try to start working on these now (a few weeks before school starts). 1. Set up a routine (block schedule) 2. Set an alarm to start waking up earlier 3. Set up different block schedules 4.

We have teenage kids so we assign days per person for laundry; each person does tbeir own clothes and need to have both machines cleaned after they are done so the next day the next person has a clean machine. Makes them responsible and stops complaining of lost or ruined clothes...works for us.

[@meganrichardson6471]

My kids and husband really love the dot system. I am a little better at remembering what belongs to what kid, but they canNOT.

So thanks for inspiring me to re-dot everything again!

Life and Oils With Joy Eggs baked in muffin forms are one of my favorite meal prep items. You can put whatever (cooked) veggies or stuff you like in first and just crack 1 or 2 eggs on top. They keep 3 days in the fridge and I would imagine, that kids would like them, too.

[@kelliebuckner1077]

I don’t know if you’ve heard of this, but fun socks are a big deal in our house, so a particular color sock for each family member doesn’t work for us. Instead, we put a safety pin in one of the socks when we wear them and then when we take our socks off, we pin them both together before putting them in the laundry. That way one sock doesn’t get lost. You could also use different colored safety pins to show which socks belong to each person.

[@kamioltman8471]

Kellie Buckner We love crazy socks at our house, too! My family used the safety pins when I was growing up. It does help! One tip about that, that I learned the hard way--use pins that won't rust. 😂

[@sandradeleon6171]

You could also use a lingerie bag to put the dirty socks in, one for each person, and so then all their socks are together, they just have to match them when done drying.
