Jim, I hope you see this. No need to "remember" which way to turn the wheel. All you need to do if the trailer has gone "offline" (lol) is to look in the side mirrors. You turn the wheel towards the mirror you see the tail end of the trailer in.

When my mom died, I wanted the ancestral Junk drawer. When she remodeled her house, she took the junk drawer from the old kitchen, and moved it into one of the new cabinets. Just took that drawer and put it in a shelf. When I got it, I did the same thing. It wasn't organized, but it had so much important useful stuff in it!

I grew up in a very loving family of 13. Organization was part of survival. It also contributed to harmony in the home. I sit here as a widow and retired banker at age 73 watching you with my day planner and notebook close by on my coffee table. Some habits die hard. 😉Very much enjoyed this video. 👍🏼

When I was in school, we were taught anything but. That was intentional. My greatest regret is not dropping out at 15 and going straight to the library instead. I started having that regret the last week of senior year, when two teachers explained that I could've taken my GED at 16 and immediately started community college courses.

I love seeing you both together teaching. Thank you so much. ❤❤

About five decades ago, my dad taught me a fairly simple way to steer a backing trailer the way you want it to go. Instead of placing your hands at 10 and 2 on the steering wheel, use your dominant driving hand to grab the center BOTTOM of the steering wheel. Now, to make the trailer go to the right while backing, move your driving hand to the right. Same goes for moving it to the left. Putting your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel automatically reverses the resulting direction of the trailer, so it goes the way you want it to without thinking about it. Your mutual enjoyment of doing things together is engaging, so fun to watch! Thank you. (PS to Pam, I also have about 75,000 emails built up…)

Good timing. And like you both I planned to move. My whole house was packed except the essential things I needed until my home sold. With prayer I found that right now I am to stay where I am. So I won't get overwhelm with things lying everywhere, every week day I open two packed boxes. And on the Saturdays' I open four pack boxes. I put everything away that I love and need and the rest goes to charity.

One thing I learned over the years of cooking is get all ingredients before beginning to cook instead of looking for things as you cook…it is imperative to a successful meal. Now I have to apply that to everything else I do …thank you for this video.

The variety of topics in your videos never ceases to amaze me. It’s always something useful and timely. Thank you… and the camaraderie you share makes me smile. Jim, your description of backing up a trailer hit close to home…I remember many times that I stood behind our trailer giving sometimes incorrect hand signals and praying to the good Lord that we didn’t take a tree down as it was backed in.😊 I appreciate you both!

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this. You are both so amazing. Such a generous and perfectly delivered piece of work. I am trying my best to be more organised and one of the things that has always pulled me back was trying to be perfect in everything that I do. I discovered that striving for perfection is good but that it has hindered me so badly in my work to the point that I wasn’t being very productive at all. I resonated with quite a bit of the things that you mentioned, even the smaller things like getting into the habit of making the bed every morning. I am so thankful for this video.

Jim and I have a similar experience with our military fathers, "do as I say' My father did give me discipline which served me well all of my life. I learned from others as well. I also was a factory worker who got paid by 'piece work' so I developed techniques that got the work out and carried this attitude over to my home to save time. Time was the factor to 'getting organized'. I was working, raising a child, building a home, I was forced to get organized. Yes, I used a list, It is amazing how much more work can get done with a list.

Any time I'm organizing a project or event my motto is Think It Through! And list out every little detail. Great job Rose & Jim!

I enjoy your classes I learn so much. I re-watch them and take notes. My mother always taught us you need to have schedule she believed it gave children a sense security and accomplishment. It was the way I was raised and I raised my children this way. People always comment to me how did get my children to do chores without arguments I just answer they know what there responsibility are and they know what is expected of them. It simple concept.

My husband learned to back up a trailer by placing your hand on the bottom center of the steering wheel and turn the wheel ( keeping your hand and not moving your hand) the way you want to go. Keeping your hand on the bottom and if you want to go right, turn your hand to the right.

This is an area where I really need help on!! So I’m very grateful for your video! Thank you to the both of you ❤️💕🙏🏼

I am on Stratera now, in my 60s. As a child learning and projects etc were easy for me. As an adult I can not complete one project. Interruptions throw me completely off and I have a hard time getting back to it. But for 28yrs as a nurse I had no problems concentrating and getting my work done. Even double and triple checking the medications I pulled up for patients. It is very frustrating and overwhelming now to not be on task and have projects incomplete at home. The Stratera helps (I requested a non-narcotic medication)

I have a 32gal junk tote. I have been organizing with totes, but I can only get a couple at a time. So the big sort tote really helps, and will be repurposed at some point. It'll likely be replaced with a small tote, because there's always "junk".

I LOVE that you experiment! My husband and I enjoy watching as you come up with answers! It’s helped us to learn and make decisions for our household. I, too, MUST have a decluttered kitchen to function. When I was studying for my BSN degree, I had to have order to my immediate environment in order for my study time. If my counters are cluttered in the kitchen, I can’t cook until everything is cleaned up and in its place. My husband evidently has a mission to dirty every knife, pot, and dish while cooking and has no problem working over the mess! Did I mention he doesn’t do dishes!??? Needless to say, I stay out of the room until the dust settles! He’s a pretty nice guy and handy to have around….he’s 6’7 and knows how to fix things so, guess I’ll keep him!😂😂😂

I am taking notes and putting it on the wall! Organized environment, organized thoughts....

Great class! Decades ago I was told by my Managing Director that I was an organizer and a planner! I took that as a compliment! Now, after having been retired for a long time, I realize that I have let some of those patterns go! I want to get the organizing and decluttering going!! Thanks for the reminder on how to organize!

I just love your videos! Thank you for all that you and Jim do. I absolutely agree with Lists. I too do a food/menu/shopping/packing list for our camper trips. The first one is always a doozy, getting them back together after de-winterizing is quite the list.

Great topic. I typically be myself as fairly organized and, like you, when shut upon a task, I tend to be hyper focused on it until it is as complete as I can make it. However, I have been struggling to apply these principles, especially habit building, at the big picture scale , particularly relating to how to turn many of these preparedness activities into a regular lifestyle. Having the time to do things like make freshly baked bread or can can or get out of the garden. Seems to be more of a treat because my everyday life is so busy. And on the occasions when I can try to dedicate a big block of time to getting something done, my wife sometimes gets mad about me dedicating some free time to these things It would be interesting to see these principles, especially habit building for a preparedness mindset, applied on A real world lifestyle, especially for those of us who work a typical 9:00 to 5:00 job with two kiddos at home, and still having the time to dedicate to family and relaxation

I LOVE love love the entro 😄💗

I really needed this! I love all of your videos! My favorite is when you laugh! Also you look really good in black!

In reference to backing a trailer and this comes from backing my boat trailer. I use my side mirrors on the vehicle for one and I have found that I turn the steering wheel toward the tire that I want to turn. So I don't have to look over my shoulder I just look in my side mirrors and the tire that I want to turn I turn the steering wheel toward that tire basically that side of the trailer.

Good class with good ideas! I, too, need to have no dishes when I awake & I have to make my bed. The lock downs drove me crazy because of trying to store some emergency supplies plus hurricane readiness so at this time I feel still overwhelmed. Thanks😊

Thank for your helpful and fun comment!!!

This was a very good step by step how to...but (referring to myself)...there is an emotional and mental component to accomplishing organization. My mother was a bit of a hoarder and you don't throw things out because "someday, you or someone may needed it". I lived in hidden piles of clutter of stuff in extra rooms, closets, and storage units. Trying to make a decision on what to save, throw, donate, or preserve to pass down causes extreme anxiety and possibly a panic attack. My personality is that of a severe minimalist, but I live in clutter. My strong ADD issues affect the mental component, my mother-in-my-head dictates the emotional component. Any ideas on how to conquer these issues? I can't be the only one.

I used to have nice clean house until I met my future husband who is a hoarder and has a lot of anxiety in an uncluttered space, so he promptly started surrounding himself with trash that it frustrated me to no end. I started trying to pick his mess which only increased anxiety for both of us. I stopped picking up after him, now our house is a mess because he can't let go of old car parts that he no longer has the car to put them on. He had them in a storage unit until he got laid off. So he moved the junk into my den and now I can barely get into the room to use my computer.
