Transcripts
hey and welcome back this video is going to be a little bit different because i'm going to be
real with you i'm going to say the same things that i always say but in a different way
we're going to have a heart-to-heart conversation about why your home is not staying tidy i've
been thinking a lot lately about why i do this why i have clutter bug why am i making
videos talking about basically the same thing over and over and over again and it's because
i know what it's like to struggle with a messy home i know how hard it makes your life and i know
how easy it is when you're on the other side how much more time you have and less stress and how
you feel better about yourself and more confident and i want you to have that so badly that i will
talk about the same thing over and over and over again until every person on the face of the earth
gets to experience what it's like to have a home that's effortless like legit that's effortless
that you don't have to think oh i have to clean look at this mess i have to spend my saturday
tidying before my mother-in-law comes that is no longer an issue when you have your home under
control and if you do not have that it's because you're not doing three things before we jump into
the three things i want to give you a little bit of my back story and the struggles i had with my
own mess and cluttered home i felt like i must be lazy because everything was so out of control but
the truth was i was working so hard to manage my mess i had to clear off the stove before i could
cook dinner i had to clear off the table before we could eat at the table i was walking on my clothes
that i knew were probably clean at one point but now i had to rewash them because they were
on the floor and i had stepped on them over and over again i was looking for things every day i
would spend so much time looking for my cell phone or my keys or the umbrella because it's raining
and this added up to hours and hours of wasted time and i was constantly looking for shortcuts
just give me the solution just i'm gonna go to the store and i'm gonna buy all the bins and
baskets to throw at my clutter problem because somehow buying more stuff solves the problem of
having too much stuff maybe you can relate this is something that i did and i feel like i'm the queen
of looking for shortcuts if i'm at the airport i will walk across the airport to stand on the
people mover you know what i'm saying give me the shortcut i will spend hours watching hack videos
to find out how to do something quickly even though i've just spent two hours trying to figure
you're gonna hate this okay because this is the truth that you don't wanna hear
step one is to declutter step one is to get stuff out of your house not to tidy not to stack not to
put things in bins and baskets to get things out of your house every day spend five minutes
just fill in a bag i don't use this i don't like it get it out and i know it's hard start with
trash start with easy stuff it gets easier when you have more things than you can manage your life
is harder you cannot maintain a tidy home when you have too much stuff and you cannot buy your way
out of too much stuff there is no hack there is no simple trick it's just filling up garbage bags if
you have a lot get a dumpster and get things out you deserve it it's 2022 it's a new year we're
just getting stuff out and even now every day my home is very tidy but when it starts to feel like
oh there's things all over the place and it's i know i need to fill a bag i know that when i'm
having trouble maintaining it it's time to get stuff out and if you don't know where to start
i'm going to share the free 30-day decluttering challenge with you every day for 30 days you
just pick one area and you just fill up a bag let go of things you're not using and loving we
don't have to worry about sentimental things or things that are special this is not about
you parting with cherished things this is about you letting go of the junk you got from walmart
that's filling up your home and is not worth it the next step is my favorite part okay this is
organization and organizing is basically just creating homes for the things that you use like
everything in your home needs a home and where a lot of people struggle is their spaces are full
in their house so all the things they use all the time are out on the counters that isn't clutter
that is things that you use all the time that you have to create homes for and i love looking
at where you're naturally piling and dropping things because that's a really good indication
of things you don't have a home for most of the stuff that's all over your house is homeless
or it's stuff that's too hard to put away so you're just putting it down
this is why we create homes for these things exactly where you're naturally putting it down
you need a landing zone when you first come in for your keys and your purse and your backpacks and
your coat and your shoes you need a command center for all of the important things that you don't
want to forget like bills that need to be paid your calendar little notes and memos that you want
to write to yourself that's what a command center is for you also need a random clutter section
of your home i have an entire armoire dedicated to i have no idea what this is or where it goes
joe bought things and we haven't put them away yet or like this has to be returned or i don't know
where this should go everyone needs a random clutter section in their home a home for the
things that don't have a home don't be afraid to have that this is about gonna tell you the truth
this is about throwing stuff into labeled baskets end stop that's what organization is really about
it's about the container being the limit on how much you can keep whether that container is a
drawer or a closet or a shelf or a basket this is where my light bulbs go and when it's full i
don't buy any more light bulbs this is where the batteries go and having everything in its home
that's the secret it seems like it should be so easy but it is hard and why it's hard it's because
we have to do some stuff shuffling we have to have a messy middle we have to create homes by getting
things out and decluttering until everything in our home has an easy and convenient place to go
you can spend just 15 minutes a day making one space a day i'm going to share the macro
organizing guide with you that breaks it down into categories every day pick one category
today gather your light bulbs and put them in a light bulb section tomorrow grab your batteries
the next day first aid supplies before you know it your entire home will be organized the final
step is so important but this is one that almost everybody struggles with and that is a daily
tidy up this means every day just spending 10 minutes putting things back in their home we
are in the habit of being messy we are we are in the habit of just putting things down or
leaving things out we're tired we're going to deal with it later whether it's the dishes or
the thing we just came home from the store with that we set on the kitchen counter
or it's our kids who are in the habit of playing with the toy and just leaving it on the floor
we are in the habit of being messy we need to create a tidy up habit this is what i did
and it was a pain in the butt but i set an alarm every day at 8 pm to tidy for 15 minutes and i
held myself accountable and i want you to hold yourself accountable too it's easy to say every
day i'm going to tidy that's not how it works you have to set a date with yourself you have to hold
yourself accountable by setting an alarm making a meeting with yourself and showing up you can
do 10 minutes a day you can put things away for 10 minutes a day and what this really is about
is training your brain because every time you put the brush back in the drawer every time you
do that eventually you will no longer put it down you'll put it away you're training your brain to
be a tidy person in just 10 minutes a day sounds too good to be true it legit really works and it
works for the rest of your family too make all those people participate in a 10 minute tidy up
lead by example get everybody on board and before you know it i promise you i promise you
if you do this every day before next year before 2023 you will be a naturally tidy person
10 minutes a day 10 minutes a day you got this you can do it we can all do this and together
as a clutter bug community we can hold each other accountable too i'm going to put a link down below
to a facebook group with over hold onto your pants right now with over a quarter of a million people
in the clutter bug community all of us together at the same time are doing these three things we
are decluttering we are organizing and we are doing a daily 10 minute tidy up and together

over a quarter of a million people just like you hey guys thanks so much for those of you who have
stayed to the end so some of you might know this story because i did share it on instagram but
over the holidays i broke my butt like i broke my butt like i'm dragging my leg around like a
zombie leg that doesn't move and my foot was numb and i was in agony i broke my butt
buying a fake butt and wearing it all day why does one buy a fake butt because i'm on amazon
and i bought this really adorable holiday dress that was a little tight and curvy
and my children and everyone else and i have eyes i noticed that my butt is just it's just thighs to
back it's just thighs to back and somebody could do squats they could do a stairmaster but no i'm
all about the shortcuts so for the low low price of 24.99 i just bought myself a butt on amazon
and it wasn't like full kim kardashian it's just a little you know it comes up here you you put the
inserts in it's just a little roundedness like yeah work out look at my butt and i wore this
to a holiday party as one does a family holiday party it was just my mom my sister and my dad
why am i wearing a fake butt i was also wearing fake boobs there i said it i was wearing a fake
entire under armour there was a girdle on okay so i would look like something i am clearly not
and it was really obvious and i could hardly sit down but i sat all day for 10 hours on
my fake butt with my legs crossed because i'm wearing a dress and i'm a lady like that and the
next day i couldn't even get out of bed my butt hurts so bad so bad and the next day again just
a pain that'll make you pee your pants okay so i went to a chiropractor i found one open
this is like the 27th or 28th nobody's open and i'm like i she's like we're we're open
but we and i'm like i broke my butt with a fake butt from amazon there i said it and she was
like she took pity on me because obviously i'm insane i'm insane so i went in and she
did her magic but really what it came down to was this is a direct quote from my chiropractor
sitting on a foreign object all day put pressure on my muscle and squeezed it against a bone
causing swelling of the muscles and tendon in my derriere which is now pressing on my sciatic nerve
i couldn't even it was numbness okay just pain and numbness from my 24.99 fake butt off of amazon
i am a crazy person so this is basically a psa this is my public service announcement to you
do not buy a fake butt if you plan on sitting all day if you're at a club and you're
looking amazing you you do you but if you're gonna be sitting for extended periods of time your fake
butt will 100 break your butt i spent four days four days over my christmas holiday in between
christmas and new year's laying on my bed on my stomach with an ice pack on my butt that that i
spent my birthday my birthday laying in bed with an ice pack on my butt was it worth it i did look
fantastic so i don't know was it worth it i mean i looked fantastic for my mom and dad and sister
