I tried the Organized Mom Method for ONE week! (The Organised Mum Method)

We shan't 😅😅😅

2.26 min into the video and i can already tell I like you! SUBSCRIBED😂😂😂

I pray this works. I homeschool 5 kids and it's gotten WORSE as they got older. My husband is high-functioning Autistic and OCD expects a museum for a house.

I'm a kid in my room has been clean For a while

You clean as you go and it is not that difficult and you are teaching your children life skills.

Laundry: I have too many clothes which means too many to wash which means too darn many loads of laundry to do! So I’m cutting back. I’m picking out the tops, t-shirts, jeans, pants that bring me the most joy and sorting the rest and putting them in plastic bags for now. Gonna see how it feels to live with fewer clothing items! I’ll make changes in about 2 weeks as needed then send the rest of the clothes to goodwill.

(OK, I’m 60, I’m single, it’s just me and my dog in my 1,100 sq. ft., 3 bed/1 bath house. No kids, no grandkids and currently no significant other.)

Dishes: Ugh! Something’s off. I’m a single person and I seem to be able to load the dishwasher and run it almost every single day.
🫣😲🥴 🫨😬🫠
What’s happening is I always seem to get behind on dishes and wiping down the counters. Another factor is the dismal lack of meal planning as well as the fridge issue. I buy food, that I want to eat with no plan for cooking or preparing it, it gets old, goes bad, it gets thrown away. Take away food containers clutter the fridge. I have no idea what’s in the fridge because I can’t see through the take out food containers. 😳🤪🙄 OK, time to brainstorm the kitchen and admit the lack of meal planning sets off a kitchen/dirty dishes/take out food/ wasted rotting food avalanche. More analysis and brainstorming needed. 🤓

I won't be able to stop a task without finishing it. It just won't happen so I won't even pretend it will

I always see "fix your bed" in all of these cleaning routines, but I gave up on that a long time ago. If I fix it, my husband WILL take a nap in it and ruin it. He is the entropy in our house.

I'm still leaning toward Dana K White as the system that most closely resembles how my brain functions.

First video and you're delightful. Definitely subscribing.

Yes, a regular 30 minutes is better than the occasional exhausting marathon.

And the "I'll get it next week when I clean here again" or "that's a task for tomorrow" concept keeps you from getting overwhelmed by the house.

... Idk... if I spend 1 hour a day cleaning, my home would be clean without a System.

Dana K White says do dishes; Callie (Fly Lady too) says clean sink before going to bed so the tomorrow you will wake up to a clean kitchen!! I love this - I hate waking up to a nasty kitchen and unable to fix breakfast! Good luck! Enjoy your research on all these systems, but you gotta find yours that works for you - probably a combination of all these people!! :) Which way did you pick or have you created one for you? God bless you and yours!!

Five minutes in I'm already overwhelmed.

Thank you 💕

You are hilarious!!

Two birds ?
I heard the vegan version which is “ feeding two birds with one scone” 😂😂😂

I couldnt do the laundry daily part my husband and i combined might have two loads since I do ours separately so I dont have to sort. We dont have kids so way less on that part. If i didnt separate it would probably be one load a week.
I am with u on the dishes, it is my husbands job lol.

Washing dishes by hand is one of the most time consuming tasks - pray you are able to get a dishwasher.

Just found your channel, love it!!! Can I ask what type of vacuum you used in this video? I’m looking for something exactly the same😂

sorry to say but its important to seperate the clothes before washing :))

Thanks for addressing the kitchen at the end. I was wondering all through the video when you would clean it. I live alone so the kitchen isn't the biggest deal, but my daughter had four children at home for many years. Cooking for 6-7 people a couple of times a day, produces huge amounts of dishes, which in and of itself takes at least an hour to load and run the dishwasher twice, and hand wash what doesn't fit into the dishwasher. If you have a FT job outside the home, then you are going non-stop all evening until bedtime when you arrive home, and are completely exhausted by bedtime.

Location location location and sometimes price. Try to get feedback from your realtor. What do people think? Price too high? House too small? Paint can be painted over but some people can't look past paint and/or clutter and want move in ready. If you have closed on a new house, moving out of the old one into the new home is one of the best things to do. That way people can see a blank canvas and picture themselves and their stuff in the house. Don't worry Cass. It'll all work out. 😊😊😊😊

Hi, great video thanks. Can you tell me the make and model of your stick vaccum cleaner and if you would recommend it thx

OmG is the cat 🐈🐾 trapped in the bathroom??😮

if I left a job unfinished it would do my head in. Better to finish the task and have peace of mind.

Just fyi: Pinky finger out, totally not chic. It's considered rude to have your pinky out when drinking.

😂I can't even afford printer ink 😮

When I think about my weekend and what I want to accomplish, I consider it a win if I complete a chore on Friday after work instead of waiting til Saturday or Sunday!

Bravo!

I would bet that dishes aren't part of the daily task, because for many, it's more of an "along the day" task. You have dishes after breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So doing them/loading the dishwasher as you go is really the only way to stay on top of it. Nobody does dishes once a week (although in my early twenties, I'm pretty sure I did), but you can absolutely put off doing laundry or making the bed for days and days.

Clean up song from Barney help me and my kids join to clean it was fun

Where to buy that small timer? I like it

Which method is the best??

I truly despise the hellish hollow emptiness and terror of JUST thinking about cleaning !

I think a lot of cleaning systems assume that the user has a dishwasher and washing machine/dryer. I don't have either, so those tasks take up a lot more time and definitely need to be factored in.

Wordt het toilet niet gedaan en de badkamer

As someone who rents with communal laundry rooms, daily laundry is not only impractical but also going to be super expensive. At $2+ per wash and dry, that's a big no.

Lol you’re so cute

I actually do a similar routine. Everyday of the week Mon-Thursday is a certain room to focus on BUT I have a nightly routine for everyday before I turn in for the night which is No dishes in the sink and pick everything off the floors and everyday when I get home for work or before I leave..I run my Vacuum bot to do my floors. Similar to Mon-Kitchen/Dinning room (counters,sink,declutter) Tues: Living room (dust,declutter ect) Wed: Bathroom (sink,floors,mirror ect) Thursday: Laundry for rags/blankets/bedding ect. Friday: Go around and do a pick up where it's needed. Sink declutters,things out of place and then Last load of laundry. Because your doing dishes daily and picking things up off the floors daily and running the bot for floors. It's all about just giving attention to each room and then Fridays run through and just pick up anything that is falling behind. :) It works great. I get home and less then 45min to clean.

Got rid of dishes we don’t use. Everyone has one cup and they are in charge of cleaning it and using it again. (GUEST DISHES ARE OFF LIMITS.)

Since then, dishes never pile up and everyone has a dishes day so the sink is empty every morning now. I can’t believe it. 😭

😂you are Awesome! Inspirational & Amazing! Thank You!

I have to do a load of laundry a day or I get way behind!

I've been watching some of your videos for about 8 weeks now, right before I started The Organised Mum Method. I love that system! But I do not set the same time limits for my jobs and dailies because many of them take longer than Gemma suggests regardless of how I do them. I made some modifications to work for me because I have physical challenges and cannot spend a huge amount of time in one area. So, I took some tips from The Clutter bug that I use for de-cluttering and organizing, I use TOMM as a guide for scheduling areas and rooms and which tasks for each level, and the 3-wave system for navigating eah day's assigned areas (i.e, de-clutter session, dust session, windows and mirror session, sweeping session, and mopping or vacuuming session; hitting all the assigned areas during each session.). Honestly, there is no perfect system that suits everyone, no matter what the creators say. I do believe that TOMM is adaptable for anyone, but it's OK if it's not. And it's OK to mix it up a little and add your own or someone else's tips.

I always wonder WHY dishes are not mentioned
