[@susannemontgomerie8932]

Hi Cas. I absolutely love your Bootcamp. It has helped me a lot so thank you. I have used the Organize 365 method many times over and got great result, but your approach has helped so much. I think it is because I am a ladybug as you are. Also, all your energy is inspiring. Thanks heaps for your words about creating a "sanctuary" feel in the bedroom. I got rid of lots of office stuff and replaced it with artwork. Please keep going with all the declutter and organizing help you give! Susanne in New Zealand

I've been up since 2:30 a.m., I couldn't muster up the energy to get up and dance. I'm 73 and the sole caretaker of physically handicapped hubby that also has dementia. After doing yardwork, cleaning house, getting groceries, I'm exhausted, but I don't have dirty dishes in my sink, my house is decluttered and organized, and my laundry is done! So I'm pretty proud of myself. Go me!

Now I understand why it is easier to help someone else clean, because we know they deserve a clean house.

You deserve a clean house too!

[@thatswhatisaid8908]

Very insightful. But we deserve a clean house, same as anyone else. We DO!

[@tyriaxepheles7996]

I was thinking the same thing. Cleaning for someone else makes you happy because it's like giving a gift but you don't treat yourself as well as you would others

[@aslmad1]

I don’t think that’s it. I think it’s because we are in more of a habit to fake with other people than with ourself when we are alone.

[@mychalbrown4585]

[@giawelch1181]

I remember watching an interview with Jaime Lee Curtis where she talked about changing her story when taking with her kids. Instead of saying I have to go to work, she would tell them I get to go to work. I'm privileged to have a job to help support my family and that allows us to have fun together and pay bills. I have since always done that with my kids when their father was in busy season at work and couldn't spend as much time with them.

[@kellylouise1423]

I love this simple shift! Thank you for sharing!

[@maryswisher3358]

I just listened to a podcast by Josh Becker saying something similar.

[@grandmasewhappyhomestead187]

Love this mindset of thinking

[@fussyKee]

Great tip! I saw a similar method by Mel Robbins for anxiety, to reframe the nervous symptoms of anxiety by telling yourself you're excited... Like on a plane, when you're anxious of flying, repeat in your head how excited you are for the holiday, so your brain believes the symptoms are great

[@jesstartar8090]

I have severe depression and cleaning has always been hard for me to keep doing. But I got up and I'm trying to train my brain to be excited and realize I deserve a clean space.

[@savissooper]

[@rachelnottingham6245]

Me too. It's so hard because I know what needs done, I just can't seem to do it. But this video got me up and I started by making my bed. Now I'm ready to clean the rest of my house and work out

[@sierra4766]

@rachelnottingham6245 it's been one month since I posted this and my whole apartment is so much cleaner now. I hope the same happens for you!! You got this

[@wildcrocus]

Speaking as someone with a disability that puts extreme limits on my physical capacity to clean I find tackling a single small surface at a time is incredibly effective. It isn't a huge time or energy commitment. You can tell yourself that you don't need to do anything beyond your bedside table or your washroom counter. But having the visual reminder of the small achievement builds momentum and motivation for the next surface, the next task. So even if you only have a max of 5 min capacity like I do and you need to rest for an hour or return to it the next day you can admire your progress and feel good about yourself the whole time. Making beds is great because it is a huge space and proportion of the room that feels clean and neat for minimal effort. The floor might be so messy it is impossible to navigate, but at least the bed is a break for the eye and motivate to tackle a corner next time.

[@laurapoole3751]

I can relate. Well said! Xxx

[@nenemaria-cornfieldsgarden]

I agree, making the bed is something I do every single day, even if I'm still in my pj's and just collapse back on top of it for the rest of the day. Often it's the only tidying I get done but makes the whole room feel tidy without much effort. Those 5 minute jobs are so useful, I try to do things like unload half the dishwasher while making coffee, or put one thing in it's home any time I get up for something. They do add up. I'm never on top of the house but it does stop it being total chaos!

[@shazlambert4714]

Thank you for your comment as I too have injuries that cause me pain most days/nights. So I go with what my body says and feels!! I do get depressed sometimes when my house gets out of control!! But my kids do help around the house most days 💜

[@intherockies]

I am the type of person who was always able to get everything finished in one day and wouldn't allow myself to do anything fun until it was done. I loved having everything done at the same time (perfectionist tendencies.) Fast forward and now I'm disabled and deal with pain and major fatigue issues along with depression. I don't get started even for 5 minutes. I'm trying to change my mindset but boy is it hard. I won't do anything versus doing a little. I know 5 mins matters. I guess 20 years of being disabled isn't enough to get my mind changed 😩

[@massages_for_world_peace8909]

@@intherockies I, too, grieve my past and struggle to accept my current limitations. Physically and emotionally. I hear you on that lingering perfection, gotta do it all or not do any, mindset. Especially because it worked at one time and you remember how great it felt. Sometimes all I can do is during an ad, go put a dirty dish from where I am into the kitchen sink then come back down, but even one little thing is progress and other days I get a whole hour of stuff done!! If you want to try, I recommend setting a timer and just do 60 seconds of work. Just one minute. Then see how you feel. See if you feel better after that one minute. And give yourself permission to stop after that minute if that feel right, too!!

[@WidowonWheels]

Another Cass saying to add to my mental arsenal. My favorite is “if it takes less than a minute, do it now”. That one has really cut down on the out of place clutter! Thanks Cass!

[@daniellescrochet]

This one is such a game changer. I wish I had realized it sooner. It's actually easier and less effort to just do small tasks right away then it is to put it off. Then all those little things don't accumulate and snowball into a cleaning project that will take days. For the first time in decades my house is consistently tidy.

[@milklocket]

Passively watching because I'm at work, but this actually seems like something that'll help, even with ADHD in the mix. Standing up is usually the hardest part.

[@Sakrysta]

Agreed. I’m at work, so not doing the woo girl thing. But the “state” concept resonates. Just standing up is sometimes the hardest part.

[@tgeee]

Joshua Becker has a great tip that helps getting out of bed/the chair. Just say to yourself that all you have to do is, "Feet on the floor, eyes out the window." Don't think about anything beyond that. And do it before you look at your phone. "Feet on the floor, eyes out the window."

[@silverswitch1998]

I am doing the same thing! And also I think this might appease my ADHD too

[@bayleewilson5682]

this is so real:( as someone also with adhd i find it so hard to clean. i’ve been meaning to deep clean my room for months. it can be so hard to clean and find motivation to do so. i’m 17 and i never seemed to get the habit of keeping things clean for more than a month at a time. there are some methods that have helped me though, like making a huge to do and also a small to do in case one or the other is too overwhelming to me at the time. one list will have the most specific and smallest parts to feel more accomplished and one will have maybe 10 things maximum. sometimes i don’t use a to do and i just free clean whatever i can. another thing that helps is settings. timer for even 25 mins and getting a 5-10 minute break. i’ve also made time lapse vids, facetimed people, made plans at my house, asked ppl to come over to clean w me, etc to get an extra push. music that makes you dance can help, so can finding a good reason to clean like “this will help me destress/i can find that one thing i lost”. sometimes i really do have to just say to myself that if i can do a task in the next two minutes then i should do it immediately & get something done. sometimes i sit and clean also:) make a bucket or pile for things that don’t belong in the area you’re in and clean it out after your floor or bed is clean. eliminates the issue of standing fatigue and such

[@xheartx2840]

I struggle with mental health problems and autism, and my room has always been a horrible mess.

Even though I’m home alone (hubby at work) I was embarrassed to get up and get excited. I quietly said “woohoo, I can do this today” it felt pretty good, so I stood up and did it again. Before I knew it I was dancing around like a crazy person. I’m sure if my neighbors would have seen me they would have either joined me or had me committed! My energy level went from 2 to 10 in about 3 minutes. AMAZING! I turned on some music and away I went. I also took a few minutes to change my mindset from “I have to do this” to “ I am so blessed to have a beautiful home to clean.” Thank you Cas, this Ladybug 🐞 is a happy camper, with no crickets 🦗 😂

I just sat passively, but I appreciated the idea. I am working through a depression. My eight- and ten- year old dogs just died this month within 12 days of one another and I'm trying to go forward. I have a puppy to train, so that helps, but it doesn't stop the crying fits and general depression. Cleaning bits of the house, one thing at a time, has been helping to keep me from just lying in bed and crying for my dogs.

I actually was watching this when I took a break from cleaning and organizing our kitchen and cleaning it. Even with the physical problems I have I try to keep myself motivated to do them, its a lot right now because we are taking care of my father-in-law and there is a lot of stuff accumulated every where in the house and trying to organize and declutter is a hassle, Dad is wanting everything out and visible and is a lot of clutter. I like everything is its place with a few things out on the counters that are used everyday but like things put out of the way when not using them. It's a small kitchen with very little counter and cabinet space, but I'm making it work for me since i cook most of the time - Bri

[@christinahuston]

I really needed the motivation & I can see that I'm not alone in this either! I started by creating 3 document lists on my laptop, titled State (getting excited), Story (getting motivated), & Strategy (cleaning check list). In Strategy, I listed each room & a check list under each room for what needs done. 🤔I also decided to take pictures of each room once they're to my liking, then use them as part of my 'State' list to help myself see the end results. AND, to help me stay motivated while cleaning (& move faster) I decided to put my cell phone on record & create my own cleaning video. Now when my husband comes home & say's "what did you do all day??" We can laugh together as I show him my video in a fast-motion effect! 🤣

So, my new goal is to keep a clean home the rest of my life… I get how she gave up😂 but the mess is too much where I can’t function. I have to clean it up. With that said, I’ll do cleaning binges, and then a couple of days I won’t hardly do anything. Today was my 3rd day of being very discouraged, so I give a HUGEEE thank you to you.

Aw, thank you for the kind words!

[@lquinn410]

Ok. This helped me sooo much today! My family is FINALLY recovered from a cold that lingered too long and I've been in a slump! This totally helped me speed clean my house before making dinner! Thanks, lady!❤️

[@sonyagardiner1076]

I love the plants on the kitchen counter in the corner. You are such a joy to watch. Have a great day!

[@tara5742]

I was already up. And instead of clapping or woo-ing, I did the facial expressions and hand gestures I would do if receiving a glowing compliment in the tidiness of my home. It worked in that I did the things and it didn’t feel miserable. Thanks!

[@breg9476]

that's even more powerful!

[@georgeobrien3659]

this is so inspiring clutterbug! thank you so much.

[@georgeobrien3659]

real

[@georgeobrien3659]

so true

[@gibarcellos]

you asked in the end of the tutorial: "are you feeling motivated?" and i'm REALLY happy to say YES I AM!!!!! I danced a bit, told myself that I deserve to have an aestheticlly pleasing room and made a list of things I have to organize. I am currently on the first step, in the shower 😅😁😁 THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤❤❤

[@allisonbuettner3934]

I loved the segment at the end about the crickets 😂😂😂 you have a speaking style very similar to me and it makes me feel validated seeing how expressive you are about the crickets! My husband has 2 leopard geckos and I hate when it’s “cricket day” because our living room sounds like a friggin summer picnic for 3 days afterwards until they eat them all. If they all got loose I’d probably just burn my house down. I did stand up when you said to change your state and I did find it helpful to do a quick kitchen tidy after lunch!

[@Jamie-h5b]

Thank you so much for this. I've been trying to get motivated to clean for a few weeks now. I haven't been able to do anything more than the dishes once a night. Today I tried this and I dusted, scrubbed the bathtub, changed out the garbage bags, did a load of laundry, and cleaned an intake vent that was super dusty. I can't believe it. I feel so proud of myself lol. And my home looks much nicer! I deserve a clean home! Yay! This really, truly worked for me when nothing else has.

[@LilCraftyNook]

Love this!! The mind-body connection is so underrated!! Thank you!! I strategize at work (nights) so I can have a productive time off!

[@irie7iv]

I jumped and pumped myself up!!! You are my new favorite KZbinr. I love your energy. It's refreshing and real. Love it!!!

[@elliotecooper1467]

I saved it for later as I was doing bookwork (that I had been avoiding) You ALWAYS cheer me up.

[@donnaanderson3857]

I did get up and cleaned. Thanks for reminding me to get my heart ready to working

[@heatherchesshire]

Getting up is the trickiest part.

[@alyssalee9075]

I got up and jumped up and down, went “woo! I get to clean this living room! Yes!” and now my heart is pumping and I’m getting this living room clean.. I am so excited about it! Faking it til I make it!

[@alyssadarbydaisy]

I was already up because I was watching this while making dinner, but I stopped what I was doing and went through a little metal bucket full of metal things that somehow got water in it. I knew a fair amount was rusty, but I'd been putting it off for days. It took me two minutes to go through it and salvage what I could and toss the rest! ❤️

[@louiseeiffel1014]

I finished washing the dishes an hour ago, but I did pause your video and went to clean the bathroom floor. I think I'll watch the video again tomorrow and try the woo-wooing, too. Thanks!

[@sleepingroses761]

I wasn't planning to actually do it, but watching this video got me up and tidying my room! Thanks Cass 😊

[@juliabosse14jb]

I'm home after a month visiting family in Europe and came back to the disaster that I had left behind. After that month long mental recovery I finally have the motivation to improve my hygiene habits and I'm cleaning up my absolute hell of a bedroom. After 3 hours of cleaning my closet and unpacking, I began to lose momentum but this advice has helped boost my motivation to keep going and get it done. I deserve a clean bedroom! I deserve to have a space that I enjoy and which helps me to relax, rather than cause me additional stress. I deserve to take better care of myself and my environment, and to feel proud of myself as a result. I deserve to build better habits and to live a better life in a clean space. Thank you! ❤

[@crellinadventures-becky6135]

This video came up at the perfect time! I’m sitting on the couch debating to get up and organize my pantry items or not! Now I’m feeling motivated!

[@lizlittle6170]

I tend to be pretty laid back, so I didn't jump up and down or anything, but I took a deep, pretend-satisfied sigh and smiled, and by golly, I was motivated! I had been struggling to get motivated to do even a single surface... but after that, and saying that I deserved to have a clean house, I got the living room clean (including the tops of things), got a load of dishes going, and I am having lots of deep, actual-satisfied sighs and smiles as I sit in the clean. :) So thank you very much! Life changing!

[@heatherannekennedy9368]

I'm actually up on my feet right now ironing shirts for my husband - I was in a minor car accident last week and too achy to tackle Mount Ironmore but I'm doing just a little at a time because I NEED a tidier sewing room and this pile is in my way of projects!

[@marjoriehart2232]

I was taking my blood pressure so couldn’t stand up! What resonated with me was the story. It helps me to think about the benefit afterward. There’s only one way to get that, so I’ll do that thing! Thanks for your vulnerability in sharing with us!!

[@juliemarshall5147]

You are a great teacher, Cass! I didn’t get up and do it…yet! But I will! But I thought of using this with my students to help them be motivated! Thanks for sharing!!

[@simmiedavissimmiesings8185]

I had already moved into the kitchen when you started. I started gathering my surface cleaners and soon I had wiped down my disgusting fridge and cleaned the rubber gasket all the way around.

[@jenjordan1832]

I’m a teacher too and I thought the same thing! 💕

[@lauraholleman3560]

This is great and what a good idea to use it with students!

[@traciestanton125]

As a retired teacher, let me say, "It REALLY does work!!!" You need to make a commitment to do it everyday. Even when things are difficult, others can see and feel your excitement. It's kind of like "catching" a yawn, it's passed on without understanding why. Someones attitude is typically the most difficult thing to addjust because it take their involvement. If we can show excitement and encourage all attempts with new or difficult things, it can help us persevere. With some guidance, failure/mistakes will loose their power by considering them simply another opportunity to learn through the process. That's when we discover the most amazing things! Cas, I appreciate the enthusiasm and reminders you provide! Thanks! You GO girl!!

[@thanujanayanananda8545]

Omg....it really works........I got up and ended up cleaning the whole house and at the end of the day I gave a reward to my self.......thanks beautiful soul......you always make us motivated.....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@7861hotcakes]

For me … I just have to watch any cleaning videos on utube .. I don’t no the science behind it but it works every time

[@lorid2701]

At 6:00 AM I decided I wasn't going to do workout. At 6:30 AM after watching your video; I'm up and starting my workout. Thanks Cas!

[@michelleguzman1970]

Simple and easy!! I can shared with you that I went to Tonny Robbins' UPW and it changed my thinking and approach, which I combine with your channel, materials and experiences, because I'm a mom and I feel I'm not alone in this battle. TR is a great resource, and you're too. Yes, the 3-Ss work!! Thank you Cas for what you do and for making it real to moms, women & men trying to get organized. Sending tons of love & care your way, MG ❤ 😍😘✌👍

[@jackiemcbride2401]

It works. I used you three S's. I got up and on the way to my laundry room I did arm pumps and told myself that I deserved an always tidy entry (which for most people is my laundry room). So I started with decluttering cabinets/utility closet to make room on my desk(drop zone). Made room enough to get the extra pet treats in the cabinet. Drop zone is no longer for cluttered and is usable and tidy. Did the same with cabinets above washer/dryer and cleared washer/dryer of cleaning supplies so the whole laundry room/entry way is tidy and welcoming. Less than an hour and I feel like I accomplished the worrst task of the day. I can now get on with my daily chores and have the rest of the day for a Quilt project. Yay me! I put a note in my planner for the three D's for motivation.

[@englishteadrinker736]

I’m willing to try this 😃, but I didn’t get up as I have fibromyalgia and I’m having a bad day so energised excitement was never going to happen. I will try a change of mindset when I attempt to sort through my piles of clutter. Thanks Cas. Good luck with the crickets. Perhaps you could use them as props when you next do one of your cricket organising videos 😁

[@rnguyen2516]

So funny. I signed up for an online seminar with Sage Robbins. I was trying so hard to get into it, but I had to log off. But you, Cas, you motivated me! And I think it’s because you are relatable and genuine.

[@jessicawilson8743]

I did not get up and do the things but that's just because I'm watching this while at work haha. But I'm going to watch this again later at home! ❤️

[@carigordon4810]

Saw an amazing comment on motivation and ADHD and it explained so much. When we accomplish something, instead of feeling a sense of accomplishment we simply feel relief. I think your mindset change can def help with this. Gonna try it out.

[@StampinDivaUK]

Just passively watching as it's 00:11 in the UK and I'm delaying going to bed. Yay ADHD! I shall try this tomorrow though. I'm hoping it can help with my ADHD and chronic procrastination.

[@Clutterbug]

You've got this!

[@julierogers3905]

I did get up and I did a little dance and it felt good and I did feel motivated. It really does work. I started saying "I deserve a clean house, I deserve a DECLUTTERED house!" and I actually felt inspired and motivated!

[@Clutterbug]

Woohoo!

[@tammyd5863]

My problem is I forget the path I was on yesterday. Then I get frustrated. So I found out I need to write everything down to do.

[@Princess.Definitely]

I want you to know I’ve come to watch this and listen to you a few times now to clean my house and it helps me a lot :)

[@kaywilliams1065]

You took a great burden off of me when you explained that bees will wait for the perfect system to get organized, and will be paralyzed when they have too much stuff. It's like as soon as I heard that, I didn't feel alone anymore. You've given me the motivation to purge and to get moving. Not perfect, just progress. Thank You!

[@daynad8104]

Crickets especially!

[@chowfurnowmeow]

I did what you said. Actually works! I tidied my 2bedrooms in 15 minutes (nothing on floor, bed, chest) bed made, all the linen/clean washing put away. I even got changed into clean clothes for the day (not staying in my crappy sleepwear). 🎉🎉🎉

[@JennyLory]

I love it! Yes, Cas,I actually stood up! Unfortunately, what usually happens in my case is that one of my five kids came in to talk to me, so I lost track of the video lol. I got back to it and listened to your message, and I have to say again, I love it. This is something that I've already developed through you and the other organizing cleaning type channels that I follow, I love thinking that I'm giving myself a clean house. I used to complain about housework, but now I love it :-) After note-- lol, being that my brother was allergic to everything with fur, we had snakes and lizards and things like that as pets when I was young. So there were a lot of crickets in our house :-)

[@fubar1491]

I did not get up and jump and woo because it's 1am lol BUT I know this works because I do often have to do this to motivate myself. Most of the time I am really good about getting up to clean but sometimes its really hard... this technique helps!

[@joykarnehm2664]

Actually got up off my favorite spot on the couch and participated. My husband walked in and thought I’d lost my mind, but I didn’t care. I needed this today. Thanks ❤️ Oh, and it’s kind of gross, but I found out by accident that the old fashioned “Roach Motels” catch crickets too. My first apartment we put a couple under the sinks and forgot about them until we moved out a year and a half later and found a bunch of crickets in them 😳

[@Tee-el8cb]

I got up and actually started tearing up because I do deserve a beautiful space 😊 thank you!

[@lauram7803]

This works for relationships (instead of repeating the negatives to yourself) It works for anxiety. If your pulse is increased, you become anxious and it is a vicious cycle. That is why breathing exercises and meditation helps.

[@spoiledwitch82]

Your videos are not long enough. I could binge watch them all day. Love the energy n fun!
