Thank you SO much for sharing your space with us in this way. Also, I tend to prefer wearing shoes on cleaning days because it helps me to have the “here to get stuff done” mindset. Like putting on armor, sort of. 💚

Best tip from the F.L.Y. Lady that I picked up a decade ago: in the morning dress to receive visitors, including shoes. So the feet feel ‘yes, we’re going to do something!’ Preferably clean house shoes with laces which are only worn inside, to keep a distinction between clean inside and keeping the dirt out. This helps me so much to get moving.

I LOVE this. I've watched a couple body doubling cleaning videos and a lot of them have the extra edits and the classical music, with very little talking. I NEEEEEED to have someone talking too because it's more personal and like you said, it makes it feel like there is someone in the same room. I appreciate you sharing all of this raw with us - this is my new favorite, go-to video for Sunday resets. THANK YOU ALSO FOR THE WATER REMINDER!

I'm glad you liked it!! 💕

this kept me motivated to clean my room, i love seeing people who’s rooms/houses get as messy as mine does, because i always feel so shameful. i also don’t have any diagnosed mental illnesses (although i have my suspicions), so i feel like i have no reason to have a crazily messy bedroom, and i feel shameful a lot of the time. so thank you for being honest about your living space! makes me feel less awful

I literally shouted "HELL YEAH!" when you said you were listening to Ologies! Alie & friends keep me company all the time when I'm adulting, puttering, or driving!

I have discovered an unknown (to me) world of the internet! BODY DOUBLING videos! GENIUS! 🎉

cat cameos are great motivation

My first time trying body doubling, hope it helps me lol Edit: I loved it!!! This was so helpful to me! I realized I always want people to help me clean so I feel motivated to do it but if someone is actually around me cleaning I get frustrated lol

Same!! Glad it could help

I'm only about 10 minutes in and this is already helping me so much! As someone who struggles with executive dysfunction, body doubling is something I've wanted to try. I've got a friend who says he's willing to give it a shot with me, but our schedules don't tend to align perfectly for something like that. The fact I was able to get even a single piece of voiceover done without mental torture is exhilarating. Also, off topic, but seeing another woman with my body type just like anywhere is super cool and definitely makes me feel better about my body. A bit of a side effect I guess; I just don't tend to see many people who aren't either very thin or a more traditional "plus-size"

I love love love your process. I told my partner about how you approach cleaning and he's now quoting stuff you said back to me. Also I'm a big fan of function over moral judgement like you're discussing. If the Tupperware is yuck, just pitch it. It is a gift to yourself.

Ahh that means so much to me 😭 Thank you. We're in this together

Im really late to this, but thank you for sharing it. I have a really, really hard time keeping my space clean, and this made me feel less alone in the struggle and really helped me get my 2 month mess clean

I love watching this video. I keep coming back to it whenever I’m overwhelmed with my space.

I appreciate this so much, cause I’m the one hand I wanna have someone over just to talk to me while I clean but when my mind gets bad my space gets bad and I’m too embarrassed for that, so these videos help me SO much so THANK YOU, YOU AMAZING HUMAN

This is very humane. And comforting. As well as motivating and mentally organizing.

Really needed this video today. Aaaand the cat instantly uplifted my mood. Thank you for being so real and helping other 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️

thank you so much for making & sharing this, having you chatting in the background while i do my own cleaning is so calming and makes it all seem less overwhelming. i really appreciate it ❤

Thank you so much for making this video! Having an office that doubles as a bedroom means things get out of control pretty fast. I cleaned my entire floor and organized a few things I had been putting off for waaaaay too long. Having a body double helps a ton

Thankyou for helping me clean up my room, I was paralyzed all day until I found this video :)

Thank you so much for this video and especially the message in the outro. Decluttering and purging clothes I no longer wear has been on my to-do list for years. I finally was able to tackle piles I had been putting off with this video in the background. Thank you for your openness and hard work. You're a gem! 💛

I realized I needed this when I was finally able to do my laundry while ignoring my Zoom training a couple weeks ago 😂 I'm here to clean other parts of my room.

I can relate. Feb was rough for me also. I have a severe anxiety disorder and ptsd. This month I am focusing on one day or hour of the day at a time. You got this!

I was able to clean my kitchen and get started on dinner! New subscriber here!

I love the animal crossing music❤️

"if you see food trash try not to assign moral value to it" that's actually so healing to hear. Maybe we have similar trauma? But yeah that really helped to hear especially just being able to throw your own stuff away too, like it hit deep suddenly idk

This is the first video I’ve seen from you and I love the real time body doubling! Also instant subscribe when you said you’re in Ohio 👏❤️

I've been saving this video for a day when I was ready for a long-forn cleaning instead of small bursts like I usually do. That day was today! Really loved this video. Thanks a bunch! I would actually love to see more "clean with me" videos from you, maybe in different lengths like a half hour one, a fifteen minute one, etc.

Gonna try this! Really need to clean my room and ive heard body doubling is helpful, so im gonna put this on in a bit once i start cleaning

I cleaned my depression pit of an office YESTERDAY.. I should have looked up body doubling because it really helps me. Will definitely use this next time it gets messy

Im going to come back to this I think bc I work in chunks, but this is helpful to get me started and cleaning!

I would give anything to have my own office for my crochet business

My second time using this video to help me clean. Thank you for understanding the neurodivergent mind so well! The right amount of busy chatter, fun Nintendo music and words of kindness and understanding. I’ve just learned as an almost 40-year-old I have ADHD and assigning my issues as a moral failing has been hard to shake. Thanks for the reminder it’s not moral; it’s just my adhd.

I went through the same thing in high school and now seeing even one ant in my house is triggering. GOOD JOB cleaning for an hour!! Def focus on trash and possible food crumbs so that the ants get out of there asap. Proud of you 💕

Ooooo this is a good one, I can’t wait to use this❤❤ thank you!!!

I greatly enjoyed and deeply appreciated the realness of your video. Paired with the nostalgic background music, this was chef’s kiss ✨👌 I struggle deeply with consistency and the lengthiness of the video helped me pace myself. Also some other creator’s “messes” don’t look as bad as mine 😅 and to see you very open about yours and how it was similar to mine made me feel both motivated and comforted. Will definitely return for more, thank you for sharing and having me along! 💗

hey! thank you for cleaning with me!! i cleaned my room!! i just have to do prolly like 10 rounds of loundry but it's a start!!!

Thanks for making this! Unfortunately, most of my house looks like the 'before' condition of your office. I resell things on Ebay and have collected way too many things to sell without sufficient space to store it in. As the clutter has piled up, it has also affected my motivation to do regular cleaning. I've considered inviting a friend to be a body double, but I'm too embarrassed to do that until thing are a little more decluttered. Sooo, although it's my bedtime now, I hope to revisit this video soon and clean along with you! Thank you for being so transparent and showing me that I'm not alone in my struggle with letting things pile up.

Me before video: ok I have adhd but there’s NO WAY body doubling actually works…it’s not possible. But I have zero motivation to get this house clean so why the hell not. After video: house is sparkling, I’m energized and motivated to keep going, and have dopamine OFF THE CHARTS from being so productive. Huh, well I’ll be damned; it does work. 😅

I've just done a sink load of dishes!!!! 13 minutes! Then when you said about not assigning moral value to food rubbish being around and why to not do that, it helped me throw away a lunch box containing mouldy food that I couldn't deal with that was also part of the trainwreck that added to the disaster in my house.
