Good morning Crystal. My biggest time waster would have to be watching videos on You Tube. I have gleaned such wonderful information, and after a time, these people almost seem to become a part of your family. However, it can lead you down a rabbit hole, and after a bit, you've just lost an hour or two! I try to be good to watch on a coffee a break I give myself, or during lunch. It's like my own little reward! Like you, I am old school, and I like to write things down in a planner. I feel more accomplished when I can check things off that I've completed. Saturdays I try to devote to project day if I can, and Sundays are for church, fellowshipping and my day of rest. Another great video my friend. Be blessed, and have a great weekend!

Good morning Erin! I do the same thing and use KZread as my reward and save it for breaks and evening time. I agree with the feeling more accomplished when I check things off my list. You have a great weekend too my friend 💞

Good morning, Crystal! Thanks for the great tips. These are tips that absolutely work for me! I'm off to do my housework this morning, so thanks for the inspiration. I hope you're having a great summer! ~ Kimberly❣

Great video Crystal! Please do a video about kitchen organization. Specifically a small kitchen. I struggle with it! Thank you!

Thank you Leila! Yes, I'll do one soon on kitchen organization. 😊

I would be lost without my Shark Robot vacuums. I have 2 for each floor of the house. They are work horses and save me hours of labor. I’m very glad I made this investment years ago. I have a cleaning schedule that fits my house and allows me to still have outdoor work included. With the garden coming in quickly now I’m at full work load capacity. 😅 Have a great week ahead Crystal 😊❤

Hi Sheila! I should have mentioned that I have another daughter that has a Roomba and she loves it too! I think if it works for you it would save a lot of time allowing more time for other things. I liked the concept, but maybe I need to check out Shark's vacuum. I have a Shark steam mop and vacuum and love them! Enjoy your week ahead too 💞😊

Crystal you always motivate me. Keeping a schedule & using those small blocks of time over the week make a big impact for me.

That is great Beth 💞 Yes, both of those things helps so much!! Have great week ahead friend 😊💖

Great reminders Crystal - I agree that getting enough rest (and exercise) should be a priority. One can cope with most things if you are properly rested. As I've gotten older I really struggle if I get over tired, but it needs self discipline to keep to regular routines and not go to bed too late!

Thank you so much Sylvia! 💞😊

Hi Crystal! Love the tips. I also am a morning person, and choose to make my list then. My list is always too much. 😂 I just add it to the next day. For dinner tonight I'm making grilled chicken thighs with extra crispy skin!!!!!! I just love crispy skin. Hubby wants grilled shrimp in garlic and butter. 😋 Have a great weekend and week, everyone. Can't wait for next Friday!!!

Good morning Jeannie! Thank you again for the cookbook!! What a surprise and what a blessing that was. I'm so excited to try out a few recipes 💞 Your dinner sounds delicious.. I love shrimp in garlic butter.. Yum. Have a lovely week my sweet friend 😊

Crystal. My comment has nothing to do with your video. But wanted to share with you what I did. Earlier in the week, I made bbq country ribs in the crock pot. My hubby didn't like the sauce on them, so in the frig they went. Well today, I was determined to use that meat and not throw it away. What to do. Well, I had some ham broth in the freezer. So got a quart of that out. I had refrig. biscuits. See where I am going with this? I heated up the pork ribs, took the bones out, and rinsed it under hot water for a few minutes to get the bbq sauce off. Tasted it, and it tasted like pork roast, so great. I used your sausage biscuits and gravy recipe, replacing the sausage with the pork. Used the ham broth, added a few frozen peas to it also. Followed your recipe other wise. It's really good. So far I have used this recipe with sausage, hamburger, chicken and now pork. A winner every time.

Crystal I have to be better at making time to watch your videos. Love this one. Question: are you wearing a dress? What are have on looks like one I got from Aldis and I love it. That was random I know. I appreciate your videos very much. I need help with time management for sure. I'm not so much an app user but a paper and pen notebook fan as far as getting on track with tasks, groceries, budget etc.

Good morning Margaret! It's a shirt.. a nice comfy one I got from Amazon. 😃 Yep, I'm not much of an app user either. I've done pen and notebook for so many years and it works for me! Have a great weekend! 💞

Well guess I am old fashioned. Broom and mop are my go to. I hate using vacuum but with upholstered furniture it is necessary. I like things simple and apps on a phone are just too much for me. Being retired I decide each day what is necessary and never get done everything but keep working at it.
