ORGANIZING MY CAR (THAT I LIVE IN) PART 2 | Katie Carney

[@gleneramos614]

You should do that at your friend place front yard and take everything out in your car and re arrange it. 😁 my OCD wanted to help you so bad..

Glene Francisco omg me too! I was like itching to help lol and thinking about where I would put everything

[@gleneramos614]

[@mikekeenanphd]

How is it possible for you to make such a mundane activity seem utterly fascinating? It is strangely relaxing to watch you organize. Even fast talking and full of nervous energy. I think it's because you bring a contagious joy to the activity. Thanks Katie!

[@nikkiboucher1]

mikekeenanphd exactly

[@jessicastunden5562]

It’s so weird, I don’t relate to her at all in a lot of ways but she’s still relatable in so many others? I don’t know, I think Katie would be so refreshing to be around and so much fun.

[@shailenleverett5522]

Why don't you buy one of those storage containers idk what they're called but they attach to the top of your car and it will withstand the weather but will free up a lot of room in the trunk and back seat for your items like yarn or temporarily summer clothes even have two and use one as a pantry and would you consider getting those newley advertised window covers that are like screens that slide over the doors so itd be like a black out but also bug control for summer

[@1234cheerful]

Keep watching those ads so she can afford these things. Also, it might feel a little hoarder-like to add one of those things to the top, lowers gas mileage too (wind drag) just a bit

[@UltraAwesomeEmily]

It would be AMAZING if you could do a collab with an interior designer/organizer (maybe even one who does cars, does that even exist???) so they can help you find the most efficient/aesthetic way to organize your car!

[@davespark10]

[@mayragonzalez643]

I totally agree!! That would be really cool to see if someone is up for that challenge!! Lol

[@taylorjones2731]

Clutter girlfran! Clutter! It would drive me crazy having everything disorganized. Clothes, food, desk, jackets, bags, books, purses, camera case, nail polish, vitamins, trash, etc all crammed in the back seat. Glad that you are cleaning but I would take some recommendations in the comments about organizing.

[@1234cheerful]

Some of the other livin-in-yer-car KZbinrs are indeed more organized. Especially the seniors, who don't usually run to wardrobe choices, just one or two of each, but in your twenties, thirties, forties, you like a little variety in your clothes.

[@SouthernMamaa]

You need to buy car seat organizers that hang on the back of the seats, dollar tree organizing bins for food and drinks and whatever else, car trash can so you can stay on top of it and make it it wear most of your stuff with go in your trunk.. I could not live like that with a disaster in the car! It would be best for you to take Everything out clean it completely and then put things back in a more organized manner

[@1234cheerful]

I agree. But for Katie that might represent a huge task that would stress her out. First front seat, then back seat, then trunk: in manageable chunks. Plus, take it all out and she's stuck for a day at the place where she's cleaning and she likes to be mobility-ready.

[@londa1017]

This is overwhelming....my anxiety just roofed

[@lindsay-9635]

I feel like you should completely empty the car, vacuum and wipe it down and then start from scratch, also I think you could find a more compact way of storing the papers and pictures! I would love to see that video!

[@Pflexer]

Wal-Mart sells vehicle black weave netting to be pinned to the ceiling anchored in the seatbelt slots? You could tuck jackets, shoes, literally anything in there!

[@dogmomma4019]

That is what I was talking about

[@meyersmedley]

I think for this lifestyle you have to be a minimalist. Maybe take a day and go through everything and be super intentional about what you want and need. We live in our RV fulltime with our three kids and we’ve had to do that a few times. It’s easy for things to get out of control when you live in such a small space. It seems as though you enjoy shopping and your things. I know you’ve said you’re against it, but if you can’t minimize you really might want to consider a bigger vehicle for this lifestyle. Just a friendly suggestion. I’m definitely not judging. I’ve had to try really hard at this living in our Rv too. It’s especially hard with the kids bc they acquire so many toys and things. It can be tricky. 💓

[@sierra8992]

Hey Katie! For your papers/receipts there are scanner apps (for like $2) where you can save stuff to google drive. This could help you keep important records and down size your box!

[@christinadejesus]

Does anyone know if she has mentioned why she doesn't get a van? Lots of people have been turning these into tiny houses. Seems like it would be a good fit for her.

[@1234cheerful]

She just says she doesn't want to do that.

[@SaysDharma]

I think you just need to downsize. Either that or get a bigger car but you seem to be living outside of your (space) means right now.

[@zanesutherland406]

You should get a Thule luggage carrier on the top to put some of that stuff 🙃

[@roveplanteater6738]

Those actually dont work with the yaris because of how lightweight the car is, it causes far too much wind resistance. This is coming from a former matrix owner and just recently a yaris owner now.

[@burserker7359]

Why not get a roof storage box to keep all the out of season clothes and your sleeping bag and pad should save a lot of space inside the car.

[@b-comfort8832]

There are many car organizing accessories available nowdays you can use to keep your car more clean and organized.

[@blqkrainbow]

Really enjoyed videos . question how many time do u deep clean ur car home? Like wash interior and exterior, vacuum and taking out everything?

[@adraedin]

I spend 8-12 hours a day cooped up in a Yaris for work. Not only do you make living from one work for you, it's really cool how you enjoy it so much. :D I watched a handful of your vids and I thought I might offer a few tips (other viewers may have mentioned some already): A car vacuum from amazon is worth having tucked under a seat or stashed in the spare tire area. Some LED lights for the inside could add a bit of color at night. A 12V inverter/splitter for more lighter/usb ports is very handy. Power banks to charge stuff when your car is off. Little cable organizers can help you organize your cords that run about the interior. There's these cool little rubber sheets you can get for your dashboard on amazon, they are uber sticky and can stop things from sliding around your dash, turning it into valuable storage real estate.

[@valtito9297]

nice -----a VAN, you could make a VAN even so much more organized

[@deea1754]

I utilize backpacks and trunk space for everything. Food, clothes, gym gear, electronics, mini cooking equipment, window covers, boots, sneakers, etc. My goal is to keep my car clear as possible. It works very well for me. The trick is to fold and neaten up every two to three days. I love living this way. Thank you for all of your advice, tips and tricks.

[@tamiweber7118]

Take a organizing class. Hire a organizer. Ask a friend that has great organization skills for ideas or help. Watch Marie Kondo KZbin channel or on Netflix

[@ash4391]

You are one of my favorite KZbinrs, but I definitely don't think of a minimalist when I think of you and that's okay! Happy you're feeling better, I love your shirt with the red lipstick!

[@iamtabitha]

Same! I love love love her channel, but laughed when I heard minimalist. She’s the best!

[@ccsandoval311]

Here is a video idea, have an organizing person take on your car. Alot of your problems could be solved with bags

[@renee4495]

I used to think the same thing regarding the price of ebooks, until my daughter got published. Then I realized that whether it’s hard back, paperback or ebook, we’re not paying really paying for the cost of the materials, as much as we’re actually paying for the talent of the author. Just a thought.

[@jenniferannfox2316]

exactly.......

[@symphytumtribe1582]

Yes like albums or music.. Pirated..pay up!

[@HaywoodHomestead]

Everyone saying “get a van, get an suv” - which would give you more space, but If that’s not what you want, which you’ve made clear, people please stop suggesting it! She doesn’t seem to be stressed out at the space she does have. Sure it might be a constant thing to keep things in order, but it’s not going to kill ya. The Yaris is a small, though reliable, hatchback great on gas, and it’s all you need. A bigger car means buying more materially which may not be a good thing.

[@stephygirl55]

What if you hang the jackets on the back of your seats? 2 or 3 per seat?? That’s what I do a lot when I’m traveling. 😊

[@LifeWithValerieRose]

Hi Katie! I'm sure someone has mentioned this, but an option to create more space for yourself can be to add a cargo bag to the roof of your car. Or a cargo carrier. When my bf and I camp we don't have enough space and we use the bag to help free up some space :)

[@v.reaganwilliams2969]

Girl! You need a trip to a Family Dollar! They have SO many bins in EVERY size for organizing! They have those shower caddy's with the handle. Put it in arms reach for all the stuff you want on hand...face whipes, candy, extra glasses/sunglasses.. whatever. You can get a mini car size trash can. Please wonder the isle of the closest Dollar Tree!!

[@marilyncasas6679]

Glad to see you doing better, 🚗 you need a decluttering.

[@peem1244]

Hi Katie, love the red lipstick. 3 purses doesn't sound very minimalist, but don't tell anyone i said that. You could get a rod to fix behind the front seats for hanging all your jackets on. You could get a couple of those organiser things to hang on the back of your front seats. Maybe you should get a van? RV? I think you should be on TV or that youtube thingy. Stay safe and keep up the good work. PS...FYI...ALL your videos are inspirational.

[@lilyooo9758]

I think you should invest in buying a van and converting it into a home. It’s not cheap but it’s better. If you don’t know what I’m talking about look on KZbin for van conversions. it could help a lot with organizing.

[@zebramilktea]

I get daily Kindle book bargains that I can purchase for only $2-3 dollars everyday from Amazon. Some are pretty good. I read on my phone, Kindle, and some hard copies that I find in Thrift stores. I also knit and crochet. It's calming to me. Thanks for this video, it was fun to see !!! Peace.

[@gabriellebenoit8750]

I borrow all of my ebooks from the library. It's really easy and free! I would say to connect with whatever your "home" library is. Apps like Overdrive and Libby can connect to your kindle app, or you can read directly in the app! They usually offer the audio book versions too! Some libraries are really good about letting you request titles that they might not already have in their library too! Basically, free books on demand, no strings attached!

[@saltystormm3628]

Ever going to upgrade to van life?! If so plleease make a video of how you refurbish it!💛💕🥰 love those kinda videos lol

[@dogmomma4019]

I own a gold mining claim and I have lived in a tent on the river 2 separate summers for 5 months straight. I had a 2 room tent and my kitchen was in a tree and all food and toiletries were in a large bear proof metal box. Obviously, my "home" was bigger than your car, but i was sharing the space with a boyfriend and 2 large breed dogs both years. I also had a get creative with space. One thing that I really used and I think you could also benefit from it, is the mesh storage system's. You can find them in almost any camping supply stores or even camping aisles of stores like Walmart or kmart. It is basically just a large piece of mesh that has strings and tie downs on all 4 corners. You would use it close to the ceiling of your car. You can definitely store a lot of lightweight items in this fashion.

[@adriennecolantonio8628]

Try using the Overdrive app for checking out ebooks via online libraries!

[@SeeksEra]

You should really get a reusable bag for your food or maybe just a little bin that you can store it all in maybe in a shady spot in your car maybe on the floor board in the back seat? That way you don’t just have stuff in plastic bags everywhere. And what about hanging your sunglasses on your visor on the passenger side. And maybe put one jacket on the back on the passenger seat that you use the most and then store the others maybe folded on top of the box with important papers. I’d loveeeeeeeee to organize your stuff it would be so much fun! Lol

[@SeeksEra]

Also maybe just buy those divider things that come down on the windows the sun blocker ones so you aren’t using old T-shirt’s.

[@rktankermom]

I check out ebooks through the public library. Can read them on my laptop, phone or tablet. Great space saver!

[@_cup_of_tea]

For clothes, try using packing cubes maybe. Have you thought of a capsule wardrobe? Are you a minimalist?

[@paperplanesparadise355]

Remove the back and passenger seat since you don't need them for more space, put some plain wood on the floor to make enough space for bed from passenger to trunk, wide enough to stretch your legs, and the other side is for storage. I've seen a video of how do it in youtube.

[@tracypipher9780]

How about leaving your mattress pad and sleeping bag rolled up on your back seat and then using the space on the floor behind both seats? I understand you need the backseat empty for sleeping but you always use the mattress pad and sleeping bag when sleeping.

[@WRGOA]

All your videos are great

[@jdmans]

Also living in my car as of tomorrow-have to leave my residence immediately...so thanks for all of the past videos which will assist in the transition

[@CarritaJ]

Albacore tuna is the largest tuna...that means it eats more fish than the smaller tuna. The larger the fish the more Mercury. Basically all the fish have Mercury....but larger fish eat more smaller fish so they absorb all the Mercury from the fish they eat. Get the chunk light tuna. It can be eaten twice a week. It's cheaper too. I can get a pouch like that at Walmart for like $1.

[@christinamathewson2631]

How do you use your space saver bags in the car, you have something that sucks the air out?

[@Tanya-zx9xm]

You can also add 2 more pull out draws to the truck area that can be put in the backseat when driving, then stacked back on top when sleeping.

[@cliveandroid]

Hi Katie. Nice that you feel better and that you have your voice back. I've been wondering if you're using the passenger seat. You could take that seat out and mount some kind of cabinet with drawers or whatever you think is practical. The seat at it self takes up a lot of place. There are also cases that you can mount above the doors instead of the grips. Or clips that fitt on your sunvisor. For your glasses.

As far as ebooks go I recommend getting a library card from your home of record and then download both the Libby and Hoopla app, using your library card number you can then borrow ebooks and audiobooks for free. I’ve read/listened to about 175 so far this year but I’ve only bought a couple of them.

Also...I know you do it randomly here and there, but you should do like a “Self Care in My Car,” episode cuz I honestly was interested to see your vitamin box cuz I’ve always been curious if you had stuff like that for when you don’t feel well. But I would just love to see like your night time skin routine, morning skin and teeth routine or morning makeup routine. Or like self care in the sense of how you keep all your mail, bills, and schedule dr apts and staying responsible in your car.

a kindle was the single best purchase i made in my whole life. I still have too many books but go to PIXEL of INK and they will send you daily deals and some take 15.00 ebooks down to 1.99 for that day. You purchase and have it for life but you have to grab those on the daily. Some days I don't see any I want, some days, all 5 of them I like but the good thing is there is usually 1-2 of them completely free. I knit and taught myself from you tube videos. Its great for anxiety. Studies show its just as good to knit regularly as taking some medications. Ravelry.com is a great source for free patterns and info.
