I am a 68 year old woman, and I want you to know that this is probably one of the most honest, down to earth videos like this that I have seen in a long, long time! You had guts to show the "real" mess going on....and you really followed your lists so that you did what needed to be done! I thought I would quit watching not too long after starting, but you held my attention very well! Great job!!!! I think I will hang around a bit and see what the young lady has to teach this old one! LOL!!!! I loved that you made a matter of fact statement that you just didn't have the funds to do certain things.....no griping, no whining...just the facts....and I believe you will come out of this season to rise as high as you want....you have the real "want to", and that makes a big difference.

Procrastination is not really a sign of laziness. It is a person struggling with decision making and trying to do the “right” or more so “perfect” solution. You become so anxious that it turns into no decision, which affords you some relief at that moment. A job half done is better than a job done perfectly that never happens.

Thank you so much for raising awareness to ADHD. One of the terrible things about it is how invisible it is, and how hard it is for people without it to understand how it feels when that brain automation you developed to survive childhood, now highjacks your adult attention whenever you simply want to do a set of ordinary tasks. I hope I still get to see a time where the first thing any doctor asks is whether you have ADHD. It's influence on life is that massive. And until that time we need people like you who help everyone tackle the disease on their own with sheer, honest force of will. Great inspiration.

I have another comment after reading some of the others ones. I'm glad to see I'm not the only older woman that found strength and encouragement in this video . Even we can be helped by the younger ones as we didn't have these kinds of helpful videos when we were in our younger years raising our own kids . This young lady is a delight to watch and I will continue watching further videos as they are posted . What an absolute delight she is with such a positive outlook on things even though she was struggling and perhaps still struggling but she's finding a way to do it and help others at same time . I hope everyone is Blessed by these videos. I know I am .

As someone with ADHD and a very cruel inner critic, hearing the way you talk about being compassionate with yourself is so heartwarming. Thank you for this video, I have saved it and will watch it often! Keep being wonderfully kind, and know that you are a fantastic mum!

You are very positive and honest too, not positive in an. unrealistic way, but in a gentle way. I think I've learned some of these things about myself too, I clean well when it's quiet, I'm alone, I can focus on a short list, maybe adding to it. Thank you for sharing.

Thank God there is someone like me making a video. Thank you!

I love the idea of the list being short and then adding on another item as one is finished. This is SO clever.

I think what I love about this process is that you don't do a huge long list to start with, but break it down and add on as chores are done. One less thing to be overwhelmed with.

Some people with depression find it overwhelming to tackle jobs on days they feel bad. Then it gets bigger and bigger. Trick is little victories each day.

You are so sweet. When you said you didn’t have a dishwasher because of piano lessons for you child, I literally teared up. Good mama!

Have to say to expose yourself and home like this is really commendable. Thanks for this .

Don’t come home r dry night and work done more. take 2-3 nights and plan what you’re going to do. maybe all the laundry, maybe food shop, but do t leave all work for. the weekend. it leaves us drained and not rested. never stop learning how to do better. I’m now, making lists of chores and distributing them to others in home.

Hi, I'm 58yrs old, & this is the 1st time that I have seen your video, & even though I've had UTUBE for a while now, I've never seen a video like this, because I usually watch & record music & certain artists, or a whole scale of different videos that women of all ages apply make-up, & all the tools of the trade, from that, to hair, to nails etc. So for me just to accidentally find you & your messages that you are putting to the world are exactly some of the things I'm currently going through, & I think that you have just reminded me, how I used to plan my daily routines, when I was your age, & thank you for explaining that im not a total loss, & that maybe I can do what you have done, because you are me, 40yrs ago. Thankyou hun. I will continue on with you, on this journey, & hopefully I can get my foot back out of the grave. I hope I haven't said too much. 1st time, & all that, lol

It's great to see a realistic home & tidy up. Most of the time the homes you see on KZread don't even need cleaning 🙃 you're fab 🙂 x

This was a really helpful video, not just because of the excellent content, but also for the honesty. It’s rare to see a content creator talk about the realities of working class life in a normal home like my own home.

Thank you so much for this video. Seeing other real houses and messes like mine are comforting. I'm not alone! And I always make a massive list and then get overwhelmed! Going to try your method next time ❤

The executive function and being unable to tackle a problem, now I can stop beating myself up. Also, looking at old cards and pictures, getting totally sidetracked, same. Weight struggles, so many similarities, at times I felt you were telling my story. My kids are grown but I still share many of the same struggles. You inspire me that I can make progress in decluttering and in life. I’m in a challenging season and I’m learning so much. I’m not sure why it took me 58 years but at least I’m learning and, like you, I can use it to have a better life.

My dear, I am 74 and get sidetracked the same as you, procrastinating is my life, and I am living alone, no kids , and the grandkids come to visit on the weekends. You are a great role model for young women who have the same issues

I greatly appreciate your candor ❤ As an empty nester who's nearly 50, I've finally found a way to make laundry easier. I sort my clothes based on where they get put away. All my hanging clothes go together, my folded clothes are together, etc. It's the only way I've found that makes certain all my clothes are put away. Blessings to you and your family!

I can not tell you how much your video encouraged me. It was deadly honest. Everything you said is the same I would say if I did a video about my thinking about my life and my struggles with keeping my house in order. God bless you and your children.

I am 56, much older than you, and no kids left to keep up with, but I remember. I could not have felt more proud of you than if you were my own daughter. And so much of what you said made me think of my own life and others I know. You keep doing whatever it is that you're doing. You are a wonderful inspiration. And videos like this should not be shameful!! As a matter of fact, you inspire me to do something I've been talking to my husband about and that is videoing us cleaning our junk rooms! Scary thought. Because I feel more inspired watching people cleaning/clearing things that actually need it, then all the videos out there of people who are already OCD and near freaks showing me how to clean the already clean!!! Loved this video and you!!! ♥️♥️♥️

I think you summed it up perfectly for most of us. We like clean, we just don't like cleaning. I'm an empty-nester now and though I don't have the struggle of laundry and dishes that I had when the kids were little, I still struggle with just day to day tidiness. I make a daily list of the things that need to be done if I had an unannounced visitor. Clean bathrooms, a clean kitchen, a made bed. Those are my minimum things to do during the day. A swish/swipe in the two bathrooms, load the dishwasher, make the bed. Those things make me feel better, even though I know it's been more than a month since I dusted the living room furniture or mopped the bathroom floor. I'm still working on it after all these years and maybe, just maybe, I'm at peace with the fact that I'm not a great housekeeper, but I am a nice person.

The making a small list by priority is genius!!

I'm living alone, but have some paralyzing mental struggles recently, making it extra hard to maintain a tidy clean home. These videos are helping a lot, thank you!!

Don't knock yourself. Pat yourself on the back. You're helping others who feel overwhelmed too! Well done!

Getting distracted is so easy…my solution used to be that my best friend and I would clean each other’s house once a week, dusting, floors, bathrooms, and that type of thing. It was amazing! Alas, my best friend is now waiting for me in heaven and I am caring for my Mother, which is a whole other challenge…I’m not young like you but watching your video made me think of good times in the past! You are wise beyond your years. Love from the USA!♥️

This is so raw, authentic just like you🥰

Girl. I cried after the video. I thank you for your transparency and the encouragement thru your words, energy, and actions. This content was #1 for me. Thank you for sharing your content and deep rooted story.

I have struggled with clutter all of my life. I am always grateful when someone posts REAL videos about genuine challenges!

Your videos make me feel more normal, I feel overwhelmed at home with zero energy to do much at all and it feels like no matter how much I clean and tidy, the very next day it looks like I've done nothing at all 😢

🎉 thank you for being normal so tired of fake people n click bait. You got this . This is life you are living in your space and as long as your family is healthy happy who cares if it looks like a tornado went thru it. You are showing people how to deal with it . I am a bit like this too .

Just a suggestion for those who may be couch potatoes, or older, like me. When I'm watching TV, I make sure that EVERY time a commercial comes on, I get up and do something. I'm really good at cleaning or tidying in small bursts rather than longer sessions. I find that I'm amazed at how much I can get done this way. I wish that I could do a marathon of cleaning, like you, but I'm much older, and we all have to find what works best for us. You did an AMAZING job and should be really proud of yourself!

Love your transparency. I'm 77 years old, and there are days I feel overwhelmed. It's just my husband and me with three cats. Some days are good. Some days are bad. As my grandma told me years ago when my children were little, "In a hundred years, no one will ever know you had dust bunnies under your bed." ❤

@bitrudder3792

It’s true that in 100 years most people won’t remember us at all. But your quality of life can be affected by those dust bunnies, especially if they are under your bed. Why not treat yourself to a cleaner space that is going to have cleaner air to breathe? Indoor air quality is a health hazard people don’t think about. I’ve seen people get sick sleeping in rooms that have dusty books, and require asthma medicine. A friend of mine who got into essential oils started cleaning her house with an all-purpose cleaner infused with a powerful antimicrobial blend, and after one season she commented that this is the first year that her family wasn’t continually sick during the winter. Another friend has lived in two houses with mold issues, resulting in so many health problems that they ended up bankrupt. Even though I am a nurse, I’m not a clean freak: I do think we need some germs to keep our immune systems in good shape, but I can’t deny that people do get sicker In houses with cleanliness issues. Your feelings of overwhelm may not only be from being 77, they may also be from a body overwhelmed with sensitivities. Especially with pets and all the hair that they typically generate. I literally buy HVAC filters for one relative as a present because they have four dogs and one cat, talk about hair! Her husband is always sick, he’s allergic to pets and would rather suffer with allergy medicine. It is compromising their income, because he has declined promotions because of his health. Love yourself more, decluttering and cleaning are two great ways to do this. So are simple things like being outdoors to watch the sun come up and the sun go down, and it put your bare feet on the grass or the dirt, or last choice, on the concrete. Stay hydrated, take a touch of pure sea salt when you drink clean water throughout the day, maybe half a class at a time. Oh, and don’t wear glasses or sunglasses or contact lenses when you are enjoying these outdoor times. These actions help modulate the response of your immune system so that it doesn’t overreact or under react so much, and it’s perfectly free to do. Except buying the sea salt and maybe the filters needed for clean water. Your grandma gave you wise advice so that you didn’t worry about cleaning in an excessive way at the expense of things that really matter. But you can give your descendants both that same advice, and more, based on the wisdom that you have acquired throughout your life. Blessings on you and yours!

It’s left lasting memories for us as adults. Best wishes lady.

I could not believe how much I related to everything you said about yourself!! It’s so comforting knowing someone even in a completely different continent from me, is going through the same exact thing I am but successfully and graciously getting it done. Like there’s hope!!! 😂🤗 I’ve been messy all my life (bad example was my dad lol) I have ADHD, PTSD, Bipolar Depression and Narcolepsy. Some days I am overwhelmed and paralyzed and don’t do anything and some days are better where I try to do at least 1 thing. It’s hard not to shame or blame myself for the mess and when I do shame myself, it makes me feel crappier and then more depressed and less motivated to do anything at all. It’s a vicious cycle. I also have a 7yo who hasn’t learned the best example on how to be tidy or stay tidy either, from myself, which makes me feel guilty as a mother feeling like I failed. My mom lives with my daughter and I right now though, and my mom is constantly overwhelmed by the mess and is not in the best physical shape to get done what she wants to get done either so the burden lies on me to do most of it. I feel so guilty for it, feeling that I am the cause of my mom’s overwhelmingness, stress and depression. I know it’s not me 100% but I feel guilty that I am a contributing factor in it. I’ve been trying to be gracious with myself though in knowing why I struggle with it and not shaming myself for it either. I’ve learned a cleaning tip that has helped me especially with ADHD, is doing 1 section at a time, rather than 1 task at a time. So doing all the trash, organizing and cleaning in 1 whole section and then continuing that in the next section. It’s helps it not be so overwhelming for me and even if another section is still messy, I did accomplish at least 1 section and that makes me feel good as that is better than no sections! Like you said about yourself, I also like cleaning but hate tidying! It’s the tidying that sucks! 😂😤 Figuring out which method or mentality works best for you and your capabilities and struggles too is so key! I learned a lot from a channel called Midwest Magic Cleaning. He’s autistic and loves cleaning and helps clean people’s homes for free as cleaning helps his autism and he loves helping people in need. He’s also hilarious and gives great tips for people who struggle. I highly recommend people check him out! Thank you for your video and being so transparent, it’s refreshing in today’s world of Karens and judgmental moms who shame other moms for messy and dirty homes who completely do not understand nor care to understand our struggle. I subbed immediately and hope you continue to accomplish great things! You’re doing awesome, Momma! 🥰💜

I think I've found a kindred spirit! I can honestly relate to many of your tasks here. I wash dishes by hand because my kitchen doesn't have space for a dishwasher, either. I almost always have to do a little dance to get the bag out of the bin. And it must be a mom thing because I will usually use my hand to scrape off plates, etc, rather than using a utensil.

Or I'll clean a whole room top to bottom and then allow myself a 45 minute break. I have five parrots, a rescued Cottontail rabbit, and a large garden I maintain. I also run a small online business. But this method really works! Also, I'm a serious deep cleaner, so I can get bogged down in one room and lose time. I've learned to pick a room each week and deep clean it over the course of the week--baseboards one day, ceiling fans another, etc. If you need really good cleaning tips, I'm happy to help. I can clean just about anything, lol. For starters, get yourself a good quality spray bottle and mix one part dish liquid to about 5 parts water. As soon as a meal is over, layer the dirty dishes in the sink, spraying them with the dish liquid from the bottom up. Let them set about five minutes. Then come back with either a paper towel or pre-wash cloth and do a quick wipe and rinse and stack them next to your sink. This is a great way to keep dishes from overwhelming your kitchen. Because maybe you don't have time to wash all the dishes right then--but when you can come back to it later, they won't have food hardened on them. And start teaching your children to help. Use a reward system. I started folding laundry and washing dishes at the age of four (I stood on a chair). While this is a little extreme, children actually need to feel useful and helpful. It's good for them! 😊

Good wolker you are!!👏👏👏

I couldn’t be more serious when I say I genuinely love and respect you for this. You are so honest and nearly everyone can truly relate to how our homes can get out of hand. I can’t tell you how much I admire you and appreciate your candor. This is actually a gift of encouragement for so many of us who have those times in our life where we are just absolutely exhausted and overwhelmed by the day to day demands that life can put on us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤❤❤

I enjoy your introspection, your self-awareness and your honesty. You’re an inspiration! ❤

“There are worst things in life than washing pots by hand” was what I needed to hear struggling w my home with a new baby and a now middle school aged kid and a partner with really bad adhd.

Omg. A woman who didn't clean her house before she video tapes her "cleaning house". Where have you been? Love this! Thank you! By the way- you're doing amazing!

I’m 54 and I’ve been messy my whole life. I absolutely love a clean and tidy home, it makes my brain go quiet. I’ve had high powered jobs which allowed me to employ cleaners but my husband died recently from cancer, I gave up my job to care for him and now money is tight and I’ve gone back to being as messy as I was as a teenager. Now I’ve watched your video I feel like I’ve found a kindred spirit so I thank you Remi, firstly for being so honest and secondly for inspiring me to give your method a go. Keep going with your videos, they’re great! X

I’m so sorry for your loss, don’t beat yourself up for being messy your dealing with brief, be kind to yourself. X

This is one of the best voiceovers I’ve heard. I can relate to everything 😂 love the realism

You are a REAL person, what a great video! I’m sitting on my bed with a house in a mess and I found your video. Thank you so much

I never send funds but you have made me feel that there is finally someone who understands what I go through trying to clean. Thanks!

Well I’m 67 and I totally agree with Sharon Hughes, I loved your video and applaud your strength in showing us your vulnerability. How honest and refreshing g you were. It was a joy to watch you clean your house. I’m a neat freak and even I took away some tips but what I most appreciated was your life tips. You truly are an amazing woman. Off to watch all your videos ❤

You…are awesome. Your ability to be so honestly introspective is refreshing; and enlightening. You just want to live daily life comfortably, and smoothly. Your journey to figure out how to do that is patient and honest. Articulating this so well, I just know has had an incredible effect on the lives of many people. Many women. You, are so important and special.

i want to thank you for this video. i struggle with similar things and this video really gave me strength to clean and make my household clean again. 💚

hearing you say you would rather spend money on your child’s enrichment for him and his future instead of a dishwasher made me wanna cry. you’re such a good mom if that’s the mentality you carry♥️ hope things get a bit easier on you♥️

I'm moving house in 10 days and COMPLETELY overwhelmed by the amount of packing I have to do. Watching this and sort of thinking of the packing as tidying (only into boxes) is really helping. I'm going to combine my lists with timers so I can take a break every 20 minutes or so, hopefully that will stop me wanting to cry. Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your bravery in sharing your struggles and successes. 2 hours is a massive success, and the house looks amazing. I think we can all take something from this video. ❤

Thank you so much. I struggle with a depression house. As well as garden. Tomorrow I'll start with a small list.

Yes small list, one spot, one room. Good way to start out and no judgements! Like I would get distracted, multi tasking. One thing at a time. : )

11:45 am You are enough. You are human. You are doing what works for you at this moment- you are inspiring many others by showing a real home and how easily messes multiply! Thank you for sharing!!! ❤

I'm so glad I'm not the only one watching this right now! It just sucks you right in!

Omg I love this video. Sick of watching videos of people cleaning their already clean homes. And your personality is fantastic. I could see us being besties

God I love this idea of a small list that only gets added to if you cross things off. I tend to write out the whole list and either get overwhelmed or feel terrible for only getting a couple of things done. AuDHD here and 100% the executive function struggles are so real. Have also struggled with procrastination and distractions all of my life as well!

Watching this video makes me feel seen and understood. I'm crying. Thank you for reminding me that I'm not alone.

I cannot thank you enough for this video. The shame and guilt I’ve been carrying around. You have blessed me in knowing I’m not alone.

Hi 👋 Ms Mirage. Ikr! You’re not alone. “Lynn’s video was the fire 🔥 that I needed! I went to both dollar trees yesterday. I’ll keep you posted. I have until Christmas… 🎅🎄 *Update* I gave myself a couple weeks to clean up and organize using both dollar “stores and I feel like I got a whole new home for 2023 leaving 123123 and a clean 🧼 🏡 Thank you!

I'm 60 years old and have raised 5 kids. I was diagnosed with ADHD at age 40. It helped me to understand why I struggled so much with keeping my house organized and tidy. I wasn't lazy. I'd be working at it all day but you çouldnt tell. I read many books but couldn't consistently implement their ideas. I eventually started doing almost exactly what you did in this video. Make a simple list and tackle one thing at a time: toys, clothing, shoes, garbage, dishes. Same idea for cleaning: all the mirrors, all the hard floors, all the beds, vacuum all the carpet, etc. When my kids were home they would do it with me. It might sound silly to some people but it worked for me. I liked your video. I'm sure it will help some people.

I noticed the plants along the window ledge,and it made me happy to see that you have an eye for beauty.You and I have sooo much in common as I listen to you.I've never had a diagnosis but lately,at age 73 (!!) I realize that I probably have ADD. I've been reading some things online that have been helpful. You are smart and wise and I'm impressed with your work and style.Yay You!!🥰

I’m seriously over this mess- every single day cleaning and I don’t understand why I can’t keep up- I just want to hide in a corner and cry I’m so over it. Thanks for the inspiration ❤

I was just watching true crime videos and have no idea how I came across this but I started watching and I swear it was like you were talking directly to me!! I'm just the same! I struggle with depression pretty heavily and my house is never clean. I'm 45 and married with 2 young girls ages 12 and 9. (I have a 21yr old son but he moved out) My house gets trashed sometimes less than a day after I bust my butt and break my back cleaning it so sometimes I think why bother doing it at all. It's so overwhelming and I never know where to start. Yes, my children should be helping but getting them to do it is world war 3! And my poor husband deserves better. He is a clean freak! It didn't use to be this way. My first husband died tragically at work in 2004. He had a a son, who is now 21. I loved cleaning, all of it. After he died, of course I was never the same. I wish I could get that motivation to clean back. I am so happy that I came across this video. I'm going to subscribe and go watch the rest of your videos! I think it could help motivate me. Thank you for having the courage to post this. People's homes are usually a private thing and rightly so, so I really do appreciate your courage. Thank you all the way from Ft.Worth Texas!
