- Hello everyone, and
welcome back to my channel.
So, today's video, it's
a little bit different,
because it involves cleaning.
Yes.
I hate cleaning.
(buzzer buzzes)
I think I'm not the most
cleanliest of people.
I'm not awful, but I like to cut corners,
and so I really think you're
gonna enjoy this video
if you're at all like me.
I'll be sharing 10 of my tidy home habits
that I really think will change your life.
I think you should
write some of these down
if you like them.
I think you should put some
sticky notes around your house
to do some of these little
tips and tricks and habits.
And I really think that you
will become more organized,
make yourself feel more productive,
and you'll walk around your home
and feel like it is more clean.
So let's get started.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I really try never to do this
because I know it's kind of annoying,
but I've been getting an
insane amount of questions
about my lip color lately,
and I keep going back to this.
It is this lip liner, so
I will link it down below.
I'm sorry, a lot of you
probably didn't care about that,
but it's by Urban Decay,
I'll link it below along
with the shade color.
So I'm gonna be going over
10 of my tidy home habits,
like I said.
I'm just gonna say two that
are like honorable mentions.
This is not included in my 10 habits
because I've mentioned them
repeatedly in my videos,
in, like, my productivity hack videos.
First, make your bed when you get up.
I half the time don't listen to myself,
but you should do it
because it does make you more
productive throughout the day.
And then my other honorable
mention is the 10 minute tidy.
(bell dings)
It's the best tip in the whole world.
Just set a timer for 10 minutes,
clean as fast as you possibly
can in that 10 minutes,
that's the 10 minute tidy.
(snaps fingers) Do it.
Okay, so my number one tip.
Actually, this isn't
necessarily my number one,
these are all really good,
it's not really in any specific order.
So just keep watching because
they might get better.
The first tip is only for people
that have stairs or steps in their home.
If you do, you must do this.
You must buy, like, a
cute little bin or basket
and have one at the top and
the bottom of your stairs.
And then anytime you see clutter
or something that doesn't
belong on that floor,
you just toss it in that bin
at the top or bottom of your steps.
And that way, when you go up the stairs,
maybe an hour later or later
on in the afternoon, whatever,
you just bring that bin with you,
and everything can just
then go back to its spot.
And it's so much more
time-saving, it's life changing.
Number two, this might
take you a little while
to start doing,
but once you lock it in your
brain and you start doing it,
every time you leave a room,
life will be, it'll be changed.
So what you do is when you get up,
like, say, I'm gonna get up,
I'm gonna get off the couch right here,
and I'm gonna go into the kitchen, right?
Well, guess what I see, I see
a kid's cup across the room.
I'm gonna grab that cup.
So basically I never
leave a room empty handed.
That's the key, never
leave a room empty handed.
You always wanna scan the room
and grab whatever doesn't
belong and take it with you,
and then put it back.
Oh, this next one, guys. (chuckles)
Clean the shower when
you're already in it,
clean the shower when
you're already in it,
oh my gosh, it's like
the best little life hack
because it's so annoying
to clean your shower.
It hurts your back.
you have to like reach,
just do it when you're already wet,
there's already soap
flying and suds bubbling.
Like, it's the perfect time.
Just keep a little scrubby
thing in there, wipe it down.
It's like you didn't even
really do it, but you did.
This one is kind of like a
mind trick, like a mind game.
Sometimes when I feel like
my house is a disaster,
it's really only the
kitchen that is a disaster.
I don't know what it is, I
know I'm not the only one,
but if you wanna make
your house feel cleaner,
the first step you should do
is clean off the kitchen table.
And then if you wanna really go crazy,
just clean up the whole kitchen,
make it look really nice,
and I'm telling you,
the rest of the house will
feel cleaner, even if it's not.
Actually, just try that.
The next thing that you
should do for a tidier home
is designate a donations bin.
So get a box, a bin, a basket.
You can label it, mine says donations,
I have a special spot for it in my house.
I told my family members about it.
Do they contribute much?
Not really, but that's okay, I do.
And that leads me to my next point.
Okay, so there's options
with this next habit,
so pick one or the other
or whatever works best for your lifestyle,
but I recommend trying to get
rid of one thing every day,
or walk around your
house maybe once a week.
Like, you could take this
around your house once a week,
or maybe even a big trash bag
and fill up things to donate once a week,
or like I said,
even just getting rid of
one item every single day
will drastically reduce the clutter
and improve the tidiness of your home.
There are so many things
around your house,
I promise you, that you look at every day,
but you really don't care if you have,
or you really don't even want.
So, you know, having a donations
bin is extremely helpful,
but it's more just getting into the habit
of doing something daily or even weekly.
And I try to do it the
night before my trash goes,
and not because I wanna trash things,
like, I really do try
and donate everything,
but it's just one of
those mental reminders.
Okay, so for the next tidy home habit
or trick or tip or whatever,
it actually involves your home decor.
So if you go on Pinterest
or you go on HGTV
and you look at these beautiful
homes that you're like,
oh my gosh, I want my
house to look like that!
Just take another look at it,
because more often than not,
that home decor is so
simplistic and not cluttery.
There's really not that much home decor.
I feel like we go shopping
and we wanna order things,
we're like, oh, this would look so good,
and we, like, add to it, but
we really never take away.
(buzzer buzzes)
So that's my suggestion,
go around and actually remove
some of your home decor,
make it look more simple.
(bell dings)
And in doing so,
your house will feel and
look tidier and cleaner.
Okay, so this next one,
it's kind of a doozy,
but it'll make a difference.
So how many of you out there
have a chair in your bedroom?
Yeah, me too, I have
a chair in my bedroom,
and guess what I do, (chuckles)
I throw stuff on it.
I throw clothes on it, I throw
a hairbrush, I throw shoes.
I literally put so much on the chair
because it's like this enabling thing.
It's like, I can't put it on the floor,
I'll put it on the chair.
And then things stack
up, it's just not good.
So what do you do?
Remove the chair.
I didn't do that yet either,
but that's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna remove the chair,
because it will force me
to go put things away,
and I will lead a tidier life.
So this next one, you may agree with me,
you may not agree with me.
It involves laundry.
Side note, I personally think it's best
just to do, like, one
load of laundry a day,
maybe every other day,
just to stay on top of it.
It just seems way better
than just having a nightmare
of laundry all day long.
That just seems crazy,
but that's not even what
I really wanna talk about.
What I wanna talk about
is re-wearing clothes,
not washing clothes as
much as so many people do.
Like, if you throw on a
shirt just to go out to eat
and then you come back home,
I don't think it's dirty.
I would take that off and
I would hang it back up.
Yeah, that's what I would do.
You do you, that's fine.
I'm just saying, I severely
cut back on my laundry loads
just by re-wearing clothes
because they're not that dirty.
Maybe I just exposed myself, it's okay.
So this next tip, I really
think once you start doing it,
you won't ever go back.
You just have to get into
the habit of doing it.
And it's basically just anytime you have
this little timeframe that
you're waiting around,
like, maybe you're waiting
for the microwave to be done.
Maybe you're waiting for that toaster
to pop up with your delicious toast.
Maybe you're waiting for
your kids to tie their shoes.
Maybe you're waiting for
your curling iron to heat up.
Maybe if you're waiting
on a commercial break.
There's so many little tiny timeframes
that we just usually stand
around and just wait, but no.
Tidy up as fast as you possibly can
in that tiny timeframe.
You get a lot more done than you realize.
It's kinda like the 10 minute
tidy, only even shorter.
Like, even shorter.
Just do that, just try
to remember to do that.
Again, once you get into the
habit, you won't go back.
So I feel like that is kind of the gist
of this entire video,
tiny little changes add up to big things,
big differences in your home
and your life and your family
and all the things.
So I really hope you enjoyed it
and I'll see you very soon in my next one.
Bye!
