I learned this “labeling” tip from my dad. Take a Sharpie and write the name of the medication (and any instructions) on the CAP of the Rx. For instance, Levo 1/d (Levothyroxine once per day). My night pill has ZZZ on the lid. When you get the refill, just swap out caps. This is especially helpful if the printing on the label is very small. On OTC, I write how many to take, and the expiration date. For instance, on something for headaches, I’ll write 2x6hr exp 2/22.

I have an illness that keeps me in bed A LOT, but I try to do 2 chores every time I get up (dishes, trash out, meal prep, quick vacuum) so that the daily things don't totally spiral out of control. Now if I can get one-time chores done, it will seem more manageable. Also, like to schedule by season rather than by month. Gives breathing room.

It not only made me trust the information but it made me trust that you would be a great person to subscribe to. Thank you for sharing this in such a helpful and clear manner!

This is by far my favorite "Getting Organized Quick Start" video!

I've just recently discovered your videos and I cannot express just how grateful I am. I always kept a neat and clean home until about ten years ago when chronic health issues and debilitating pain tremendously slowed me down more and more. My housekeeping and organizational efforts have taken a nosedive. Taking an hour to wash my dishes (no dishwasher aside from the two hands God gave me) is not an exaggeration because I need to take breaks. I love your style and the way you present yourself as well as the lessons you've learned and put into practice along your journey. Plus I don't hear you reminding me three times during each video of every one of the books you've written by title (no offense to *her* --another organizational expert-- but those titles are best noted in the description section, but that's just my opinion). You also don't push the "it's easy, just do it!" mentality. You say to take 2 minutes, take 20 minutes. I can work with that method. *She* must have said just "do the dishes" a dozen times in one video and then demonstrated unloading and loading her dishwasher which might have taken her all of 3 minutes. 🙄 My pain is real and I understand that the entire audience is not in my predicament and most people can even wash dishes by hand in a fraction of the time it takes me. What I'm trying to say is, I get you. And like a really good Church Minister, you feed me I a way that is good. Karen in Missouri Again, thanks for breaking down these tasks into small bites that do not feel overwhelming. You are loved and appreciated.

I'm in the same boat. It really stinks having a brain that thinks I can still do everything and a body that won't let me. I do keep a small tote bag near my chair and that has helped me with containing the clutter and putting things away. (Especially when toting things up the stairs) I've always been very independent, so it really bothers me to ask for help but I've learned to delegate the big things, or they never get done. I also do chair exercises for five minutes at least every hour on the hour. Gotta keep using it before I lose it. When microwaving or doing a chore I make sure to add some kind of movement while I wait. It's not easy but I force it. Praying for you...

I have to label it so everyone puts the items in consistent places or dropping it on my work table because they don't know where it goes.

"Don't bring something home until you know where it's going to live" works well combined with limiting items to a certain space. When I'm at a store and see something I like, in addition to considering price and whether I will actually use it, I picture the space where I'll store it and determine if there's room for it. If not, I don't buy it. This has limited the number of kitchen gadgets and appliances I buy due to the limited space. Although I still really really want a Kitchen Aid mixer....

In my mind, purging is a synonym for decluttering. Also in my mind, decluttering is a seemingly insurmountable monumental task. However, the way Kallie describes purging makes it seem doable on a daily basis and not such a big deal. For some reason the word purge is empowering to me so that’s how I’m going to describe what I’m doing from now on. I’m betting my house is going to start looking less messy and disorganized!! Thanks for your videos- I’ve been watching a lot of them and they’ve been a big help and inspiration for me!!

The best thing I ever heard is that you only have clutter because those items don't have a home (hence them moving place to place). If you create a home for every item, the clutter will disappear!

I have another use for a label maker: if you have a group of wall switches, say a bathroom or at the front door, print a label for each individual switch. For instance, in our family room, I labeled Foyer, Porch, Back Yard, Overhead, Pendant.

The best tip ever...use the OHIO method. Only Handle It Once First though, everything must have its place/home/storage location

The older I get (and especially now having a toddler) I am so much more aware of my space and clutter. It's still hard to get into new good habits but I'm improving. I do agree with purging often. And a weight is always lifted off your shoulders when you do. Thanks for sharing these tips!

Organization is completely a lifestyle. What stresses many is that they want it to be a one time action without any behavior change. I love this video because it addresses those tendencies and offers solutions. 👍🏽

SO TRUE! It's really just a "way of life"

very handy.. I put chalkboard paint on the inside of my bedroom door.. I'm going to list these tips as a reminder.. thx for posting.

The "take a photo" tip is something I've just started using this year (didn't know it was "a thing" to anyone else until today though) & it is SUPER helpful!! When I think a space looks great, I put my camera on it and suddenly I see all the little things I was previously "blind" to 😉 then I go to work on it again!!

I'm struggling because I'm obsessed with your videos and getting organized but my husband is not on the same page, let alone reading the same book as me 😫😭 but watching your videos while I purge helps SO MUCH. Your voice is so helpful and soothing. Is that weird? 😅

Love this. I use the term “threshold routine” to refer to the habits of putting away as soon as I come in the door (or cross the threshold of my home) creating a threshold routine and actually writing it down and practicing it made such a difference for me. I actually go over the routine in the car as soon as I pull into the driveway. It preps me to actually do it when I come in. The other thought I had that sounds like one of your tips is the 30:10 rule: if it will only take 30 more seconds or 10 more steps, put it away right now. Don’t leave it to put away later.

For the putting away idea, I love to keep a basket on the stairs going upstairs and one going down to the basement . I still run up and down all day but i don’t have to stare at everything in the meantime. I carry the baskets with me when I go up or down then put it back when I return , just helps me know it’ll get there and it’s in a spot it belongs in the meantime!

If my space is cluttered and messy and unstructured, I am so irritable! I try not to let this become me being such a clean freak that my kids and spouse feel anxious in their own home. But I find if I can find a balance and at least have one time during the day where we all take responsibility for the shared home, it makes life manageable and my home far more peaceful😌

So good! Your common sense and simple tips are motivating me every day! one thing leads to another...breaking bigger tasks into smaller ones guarantees follow through. it felt satisfying to accomplish a drawer redo, photos of before and after are helpful... tried your kitchen inventory and shopping lists-wow! I found many expired items- the purge almost felt cathartic-which then lead to menu planning, kicking out the cooking rut having an awesome food week! Bonus- Found boxes of glass storage jars in storage to organize the kitchen drawers and cupboards. Thank you❣️

I bought 8 half gallon jars on Amazon and dedicated each one to things I use a lot , sugar, rice, macaroni, pene, rotini, masa, coffee. And I buy more from bulk when I’m at about 1/4 jar. And pint Masons with aftermarket plastic twist top lids. Buying from bulk saves on marketing and packaging. I use an acrylic paint pen to label them so I can wash it off if I need to. It makes your pantry look so nice!

Excellent collection of tips! I've used the one "if it'll take less than a minute to put it away, do it now", and that has helped me a lot. PS: You have beautiful eyes!

1st one is "Let the container be the bad guy". 2nd: Find a storage system that works for you. 3rd: "Don't put it down, put it away". 4th "A home for everything and everything in it's home". 5th: Declutter daily. 6th: Take a picture of your space to detect clutter/make it visual again. 7th: Basically same to no. 3. Do it now, not later. (+ Never leave a room/place empty handed.) 8th: Label, label, label!!

Thanks for a great video! We are works in progress! xo

Great job! I especially like that this was real, real, real! And I didn’t feel like it was “a waste of time” to watch.

Another great way to say put it away now and not later that I love and really helps me is: “one touch method”. Instead of moving an item once or twice before putting it away think to yourself how can I touch this once. So instead of putting your jacket on a chair then later putting it in the closet just put it in the closet right away. I learned this from Emily Norris and it’s been life changing (when I actually practice til lol). Thanks so much for this video, really love this type of content. So helpful! I’m really gonna start putting this in my every day life 😁

My husband has ADHD & Autism. He lost the house and car keys when we were sitting in the driveway during winter for 1/2 hour. I got him to install a keyless entry on our door. When our car was stolen because he accidentally left the keys in the car, we replaced it with a keyless car. He always keeps the fob in his same pocket. This has helped us tremendously because we used to constantly be searching for keys he’d lose track of, including my set.

I need to have a clean and organized house to be able to relax too. We have a small home with limited closets so I have to be creative with storage and try to put things away daily.

Yay! No pantry. But one time we had one but we didnt know WHAT it WAS??!!! It was a 2 door closet in the kitchen with a light and a switch to turn it on. On the Outside of it. Wow. It had these deeeeeep shelves someone put in there 5 i think. I was in 5th grade and I lay in each of the shelves i could put a twin bed in there. We werent handy back then but when my brother moved into his second house with his wife they had one but someone put all the shelves all the way around the inside and you could walk in and take something off a shallow shelf that had a lip to hold things in. And you could see everything. Wow. Ours was a mish mash of food cans potatoes bags of rice pastas lamps lamp shades vases Christmas decor who knows? I wish we had popped those shelves out and put in shallow ones. But we didn't know you could! Lol

Great video. I can start some of these today. I thought of the picture technique on my own last month and I got into a mental game with myself to keep wanting to see improvement. It worked.

Excellent video. When it comes to recycling, as I walk back up the driveway from getting mail, I stop at the recycle & trash cans & sort thru the mail right there. Then the only things that end up going into the house with me are bills, magazines, things like that. We have a small indoor trash can to collect anything that goes back out to recycle once we've completed the action related to that piece of mail & empty it when it's curbside pick up day or whenever it's full.

Thanks for sharing these tips .. learn a couple new ones .. and yes it takes a while to get this organization thing down. Yes for but but also training hubby 😀😍. It's a wired cycle when you start ..

My other biggest issue is due to my health tanking on me earlier this year, I have very little stamina and everything takes a long time. I decluttered, cleaned, and reorganized 2 areas of my kitchen last Friday. Thinking my husband would freak because I had left a bit of a mess on the stove. He didn't even notice the stove. He was thrilled with the visible progress in the 2 areas.

Brilliant! Love it! Wishing you a blessed 2021!!

Point number three - I think of these as “transitions”. It is easy to disregard them, because the “important” parts of your day are “being out doing errands” and then then “at home prepping lunch” etc. But I found it really helpful to acknowledge the transition phase between these parts of your day, and to acknowledge what needs to happen to successfully move from one stage to the next, and then build a mini routine for it.

Thank you for the amazing reminders 💖

Yay!! So excited. Thanks for the video.

I could always use new organization tips! Thank you☺️

Thank you for sharing this. As I’m watching you video, I could visualize doing all of these things. I find that my husband and kids tend to follow my lead. If I keep it neat, they keep it neat . Perhaps it’s so that they don’t have to hear my mouth or the fact that they like when it’s neat and organized.

You did such a great job on this video. Thanks for the inspiration! 🤗

Excellent tips I can definitely follow. That photo is a great way, it helps me to show up my clutter and to get more organized

Omg I love this! I'm consistently thinking out what I can get rid of. ESPECIALLY since we're a anticipating a move (possibly out of state) within the next year or so

With family member’s bringing stuff in , this is a good practice. Sometimes others bring stuff in and I leave it to long , out of kindness, waiting for them to do something with it!
