The most motivating thing I learned from you today is, 'You're never going to feel like doing it, so you may as well just do it now.' SO. TRUE. Thank you!😊

Another great habit is the 1-2 minute rule. If your task will take only 1-2 minutes, just do it. Don't put it on a list or otherwise procrastinate. Taking care of small things throughout the day can add up to significant accomplishment in the long term.

When I started to think of my “chores/tasks” as “ACCOMPLISHMENTS “ I became more motivated to achieve my goals.

💚👏 I'm starting this!

I found when I was working that I would have more energy after work, than on my days off. She's right about that. Some days, I did the shopping straight after work, cooked, cleaned up, and then went to the gym around 9pm. Retired now, no pressure, and it's hard to get up to do things some days.

The stop avoiding your alarm in the morning is so powerful once you actually put it into practice.

You have been saying "you are never going to feel like it" for years and it is SO true!!! I need to remember that because lack of motivation runs high in this one!!! LOL

As a person with ADHD, timers are a life saver for me, I can’t live without them. Time blindness is real so timers help me stay aware of time and what I have to do to stay on top of my tasks. Loved this video!

The hardest part of anything is getting off the couch!

I just got my office/desk cleaned up! It's been a disaster for weeks and today I told myself I'm gonna do it. I just grabbed piles of stuff and sorted it, throwing papers at the shredder, stacking items to file or recycle, and stacked other items to put away. When there was a pile to leave the room, I left and came back to sort through another pile. I now have papers to file and a box of to-do's for tomorrow. Now that I can see the room, the bookshelves are next. It's also VERY handy to keep the shredder in your office, not the ice cold garage.

These are great tips! I combine habit stacking with the short timers - like, emptying the dishwasher during the 5 minutes my pot of tea is steeping every morning. ☕⏰ Oh, and THANK YOU for designing the best planner ever! The Brain Dump then Top 3 is 🔥🤩👏❤️

You are AWESOME! I am a grandmother and I enjoy your videos so much. I plan to gift Poplin to our daughter because those littles generate so much laundry. And Aro? Brilliant! I was a working mom of 2 and your videos provide me with the most tender nostalgic memories. There will be a time in your life when you can truly exhale. Meanwhile? Keep smiling❤️

When in doubt, Dance party.... 🎉🕺😂 that might just be the 'funk' relief I've needed all year! Thanks Kallie 👍

I love writing a to do list and then seeing what has been crossed off! Makes me feel so accomplished!

Your videos are so helpful! Growing up everyone always said it "wasn't worth cleaning/fixing". So I had no idea how to even clean fruits and vegetables. But thanks to channels like yours I've learned so much and live in a happy clean home.

I love all your tips and tricks. I hear your voice in my head ALL the time, "never go to bed with a dirty sink" and " tomorrows Kallie will thank todays Kallie". Guess I need to change my name. 🤔

Of course. Because the cleaner is not going to know where to put all the stuff and might just clean around it .

Pretty much started most of these when i had kids. Need to get back to writing it down though. And dance parties. My go-to movement is vacuuming, yoga or walks. But dance parties seem like a very fun addition for when you need extra dopamine

Timers have been helpful to me lately! Not because I need the motivation necessarily, but because I am type a and I can clean and organize forever until I'm having a panic attack, literally. My life can become consumed by cleaning and trying to make the whole house perfect which is futile. It helps me to set a 20 minute timer and clean/organize for only that amount of time and then I make myself breathe deeply and switch activities for a while. Its especially helpful bc i am pregnant and nesting. It makes me feel like a more well rounded person and i enjoy my days so much more when i dont allow myself to clean all day long!

I'm not here to watch about Disney but I wish I could take video footage of how you've helped me deal with all my stuff since we had an earthquake in Christchurch New Zealand in 2010&2011 yes it's taken me this long to be able to do it you have helped me so much and thank you ❤😅 the stuff was just in boxes in my garage and in my house everywhere 🙈

Yes! I have found timers to be a HUGE help. I start with a 20 min - this is my time to relax and do what I want - but then I do my next for 10 min which is my work time. I find the 20 min gets me more ready to start

You are actually always reteaching us Newton's 1st Law of motion. "A body at rest tends to stay at rest". Learned it in Physics class in high school. He actually published it in 1687, which is not when I was in high school. That was a few years later. 😉

Great tips! I'm a big believer in using the timer on my phone. I'll set it for 15 minute increments and play the game of how much can I get done before the alarm goes off! It not only motivates me but makes my time more focused on the task at hand.

You know what I love about you?….You are so down to earth!! This is so refreshing! And you’re funny! And you somehow make everything sound attainable & doable! I’ve definitely done the “small task” idea, but I’ve never written it down so that next time I have a moment I can just Do it! I also love brain dumps!! But I don’t do it often enough! ❤️ your channel!!

I Watch you everyday I love your ideals you have..On cleaning I found it much easier to clean up when you mess up..like when I cook I clean my kitchen so when my food is done the kitchen is clean and the only thing I have to clean is the dishes that the food is in and my kitchen is clean and I don't have to do it later it's done..

Wow breaking down the cleaning of one room into tasks is genius😮!

I absolutely love the planner! I couldn't find a planner that worked for me because there was never any space for imperfect planning. I had so many random notes lying around to lighten the mental load. The brain dump feature in your planner is genius for mom brains! Love that it's undated (because January wasn't happening) and the blank time blocks for customization. Thank you! 🙌🤗

I love the dancing idea!!! And, all of your great planning ideas❣❣❣

I guess on the weekends, when I get up, I need to set a timer to get started on my tasks needed to be done. I usually save the laundry for the weekend but I can do other things in the mean time. I also try to help my sister as she is disabled. Her husband helps her a lot but he works hard and still manages to go home cook and clean. I’m just trying to help take a bit of a load off of him. At least he’s helping her too. I love crafting and like to fine time for that too. Just not enough hours in a day!!! I wish we could go to a 4 day work week. Ok, enough of my rambling! 😊

Whoo hoo! Thanks for these! I definitely will try to avoid hitting snooze this week and stay in motion until my basic tasks are complete. 🤗

I really recommend Pahla B's workout videos on KZread. I've been doing them for years. I started when I was pregnant woth my first because they're moderate and she's very fun. The ones that have short rests always motivate me to Tidy as much as I can in 20 seconds.

I also bring a basket when cleaning to put all clutter in that goes in another room. Then put those away.

Breaking up tasks is the way I get through everything everyday. It is so effective. Also I have that planner and my favorite thing about it is if I want to take a week off or I fall off the horse - no big deal. The next page can be used and very little is wasted as compared to planners with dates already in there.

This video was soo helpful!!

Could you please make a cleaning podcast your videos motivate me so much but i often find myself tempted to sit down and watch and then im stuck in the body at rest stays at rest. I want to listen to you while i clean 😂😅😅

I love a lot of these suggestions but based on the title I was expecting advice on sleep hygiene, checking your Vitamin B-12, D and iron levels, etc. Also, sometimes if you don't have energy it's because there's too much you're trying to do!!! We need to be kind to ourselves and realistic about expectations.

Ooooooh! I love that planner!!! I already have one but it was pretty cheap so maybe I can get one of those as a treat-yoself gift! 😂❤

Hey Callie. Set time for tasks it does help. Gotta try dance party. Great idea.😊💃

I still hang the laundry on my clothesline like my mother! So no outsourcing lol. I have cut back on my phone and have seen more productivity-and results in my quilting time, But have found a few friends unhappy about our less talk/ text time.

I find that if I do the thing that I least want to do first it makes my day go smoother

Dancing always energizes me. I put on my favorite dance music to clean to, stopping occasionally to bust some dance moves. Did you know you can dance while dusting and sweeping floors? My big problem is my iPad, not my phone. I guess I need to develop a ‘time out’ routine for it.

When I have no motivation I always say to myself the future me will appreciate it

I really like your planner, but I would prefer a daily one! I don't mean this at all as a "critique" but as a "I love it so much please make this an option" :) I hope this doesn't come off as rude because I can't imagine the amount of work you put into it! I would just be overwhelmed by seeing my other blocks in the weekly section (I have a daily blocking planner now but might prefer yours) :)

I am looking for the Aro link

My son has adhd and I found I can't say clean your room. What works for him is one task. Get the dirty laundry out then put the pillows and stuff back on your bed, then pick the Legos up etc and I swear he can get what looks look a hurricane disaster is fixed in half an hour and why do I not apply that to myself? I have no idea. The kitchen is a mess so I don't break it down I look at it and then walk away like the cleaning fairy will come in and do it. Then night time hits and I'm like I want to go to sleep but I can't make lunches tomorrow because it's a mess so I begrudgingly clean the kitchen

Jw… what time do you go to sleep if you’re setting an alarm for 4:50. I’ve been a chronic nightowl all of my life and would just give anything to be able to do what you do.
