WEEKLY RESET ROUTINE WORKING MOM | CLEAN DECLUTTER AND ORGANIZE | HOME MANAGEMENT | SUMMER 2024
Today I am sharing my weekly reset routine as a working mom. I do the same set of tasks each week; however the time I spent on each will differ from week to week.
Some weeks are heavy in meal prep others are heavy in cleaning. It really all depends on how my work week went and what is happening on the weekend.
But I love my weekly reset routine. It helps me stay organized and prepare for the week ahead?
How about you?

What are the stickers that you put on top of each block ?
Perfect balloon popping video 👏🏼 haha great content!
New subscriber here 😇 I love clean and declutter motivation videos. Everytime I see your shinny red kitchen trash can (it's uncommon but I like it 😊) I always hope you'll need to empty it as I always find it so satisfying to see any junk get discarded while cleaning and taken out from the house to feel it's fresh and less cluttered. Also because I struggle so much to toss few things that everytime I see any trash around the house get emptied/taken out I look if I see something I struggle to toss in the process haha. It's mostly nicer paper clutter like magazines, fashion/beauty catalogues/flyers and the worse for me is any old clothes that can't be donated. I usually just put those in clean bags that will stay for way too long in the garage instead of dumping them right away in any regular trash cans so I can't change my mind anymore. I'm giving away most of my clothes, so I always feels like it's not too many, but still hard to let go.
Welcome! Yes, some clutter is harder to get rid of then others. I struggle with clothes as well. I just decluttered my closet and I was proud of myself for getting rid of some pieces of clothing that I kept holding on for way to long - now wearing them, but convincing myself that I will wear them now... It's definitely a process. Hope it gets easier for you!
Great to see you again 😊
You too Olga! Hope you're doing well! 😘
Hi Marta, thank you so much for your beautiful cleaning motivation! Do you have a party cleanup in the near future? I hope you are doing well and wish you a wonderful week! 🥰❤️🌞💖
Hi Josie! Thank you for your kind words. I may have one in a few weeks 😊
I don't try to have a perfectly clean home, either, as I don't want to over exert myself and burn out. I'm also yet to master meal planning- I always regret it when it's time to do the weekly grocery shop! 😅
I always enjoy watching others do their meal planning and I am very motivated afterwards but it's definitely a struggle in practice haha
Hi Marta, I haven’t commented in a long time because whenever I watch your videos, I always think the same thing-you’re so organized and manage everything so well. I can’t believe how big your kids are now! I remember when we were in the membership together, and your daughter was so little. It’s always nice to see your videos have a great week.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes, they are growing so fast! Hope you're having an amazing summer 😊
So satisfying!
Thank you! It definitely was😊
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi I'm a new subscriber love watching your videos thank you for sharing have a Blessed day💜💜💜💜
@grandmaallison thank you so much and welcome 😊
Your children are not interested in organising the new school supplies themselves? I remember that when I was little it was the best feeling to manage new stuff for school🙂Hi from Poland 👋
@official.cookie.tester my daughter likes to organize her stuff but most of thr organization takes place in school as those supplies are stored in her desk in the classroom. But I remember that excitement from when I was going to school in Poland🥰😍
❤
nice video
Thank you!
👍👍👍👍
It's only because of YT that I realised not every single child starts school again on September 1. 😅
@@kallistoindrani5689 haha, I used to start Sep 1st when I was a kid. Now, there are so many different start days 😅
In my area school starts the first week of August.
In my area school starts the last week of August.
Nice to see you again, Marta. Rest is also productive ♥️
It really is! It's my mindset that I need to work so I don't feel guilty when I'm resting.
Hi Marta, beautiful video! Have a wonderful Sunday! 🥰❤️🌞💖
@josie436 thank you so much🥰 have an amazing Sunday and a great week ahead!
You are always ahead of the curve with going back to school. Have a great week Marta 😊!
@shereemorgan1430 I really try because I cannot handle the feeling of rushing right before the school starts. Wishing you a great week as well😊
@@ImperfectLifeBalance and most times the supplies are sold out.
@shereemorgan1430 yes! Or misplaced🙈
Love these!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy them
vary nice
Yah!!! So happy to see you again 🫶🏻🤗. Love your content 👏👏👏🥰!! Love to declutter in summer 😁.
@@hannahkennedy2259 thank you so much for your support🥰
It was so awesome when I started buying durable items and reusing stuff for the kids school supplies instead of buying loads of stuff every year. The past few years it was just a couple notebooks.
I totally agree! I had a very successful supplies shopping trip yesterday and it was amazing how little we needed compared to the past years! Happy Sunday!
Hi! Got so excited to see your video pop up on my notifications 😊😂
@@DemiDoesItAll thank you! You made my day with your comment! Hope you're having a great weekend 😊
Taking a break is important, and I stopped blaming myself for it 🤷🏻♀️ if I can’t do it, I’m not doing it, that’s the end of it. And I love preparing for their school year early too 😊 I’m going to order their supplies online after we’re back from our vacation. I’ve done decluttering in their desks/room last month!
I love that mindset - I can't so I don't. I was feeling a little guilty about it, so thank you for that! Have fun on your vacation!
Long time no see, Marta! ❤
Glad to be back 😘
I miss new videos. I hope all is well
Thank you! I took a long break, but I'm back😊
Yay
Long time no see! I finally got to UA-cam and jumped onto your channel 😊 I missed your videos, as I do my chores along. So much has happened and it’s great to be back 😌 I used to wake up at 5am, now even if I wake up at 6, I stay in bed for some 1.5 hrs not having the energy to get up… need to do something about it 😔 Btw, when do you go to sleep? My kids go to beds late (10 pm), so it affects my schedule too 😓
No thanks 😅
Haha! It's definitely not for everyone 🤣
I love your videos like this. I typically get up around 5/5:30am. A little about me: I do work full time outside the home and have 2 school age kids about the same ages as yours. For the time being, I'm working out in the afternoon usually twice a week, I'd love to increase that in the future to more days each week. But for right now I just can't get the work out done in the am. I love to read historical fiction in the WW2 era. I also like to read parenting and mental health related books. Your commitment to this morning routine is inspiring. Side note - love the heating pad! I did injure my back about a year ago, I just twisted wrong, it wasn't major. But ever since then I put the heating pad on my back every night while my husband and I watch tv. I find it so soothing. I want to know what time you go to bed. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for sharing a little about your self!!! I love meeting other working moms here 😊 I think having a workout routine that you do is amazing. I always believe that as long it it works for your schedule than keep at it! I don't think I have ever read historical fiction - sounds intriguing. Let me know if you have any recommendations so I can try one out 😊 and yes to the heating pad! Just got it a few months ago and love it - amazing for back pain and also for cold winter mornings haha! I am usually asleep by 9pm 😅
My top recommendation is any book by Kristin Hannah. The Nightingale was the first book I read of hers so that one is special to me. But they are all so good. The Great Alone and The Four Winds are also fantastic. They all are set in different time periods.
@@mckayjsb thank you!
Hello, which workout program do you use? What time do you go to bed? I LOVE to workout in the AM however I am super tired by 8:30pm where life is still happening for my boys with soccer practices.
I use Peloton - they have a lot of different workouts not just biking, which I really love. And I feel you about being tired by 8:30pm! I am in bed by 9pm, to get enough sleep!
Hi Martha! You are always so diligent and hardworking. Your kids have grown a lot. It feels like just yesterday when they were tiny in your videos. I was wondering if you could possibly share some insights on Parkinson's Principle and how you manage your time effectively to ensure each activity doesn't drag on forever.
Thank you so much! Yes, they grow up so quickly! And yes, I am making a note to address that in one of the upcoming videos. In general, I found that I have to set time limits for my tasks. Especially those that I know I tend to procrastinate about or one that I know it's easy to get sidetracked with. I also try to batch similar tasks together. That helps me stay focused and efficient.
Hi, I do 8 laundries per week. 2 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. I di not do it in the weekend and on Wednesday because my hubby works from home and can't stand repetitive noises. I do 2 darks, 2 light coloured, 1 white, 1 bedsheets (I alternate kids and ours), 1 for towels (every 4 weeks I add one extra for bathrobes) and 1 colored for my husband. Sometimes 1 have to add one extra for night incidents. So in a very unfortunate week I can get 10+... 😅 if I get even some delicates (which of course I try to avoid).
Love how organized you are with the laundry routine! Mine definitely could use some more structure - specifically with bed sheets!
Thank you for posting your routine! I have a baby now who wakes me up very early as it is. I look forward to being able to add a little more self-care to my morning. This kind of routine looks like a realistic goal for me to work toward. I really appreciate your perspective as another working mom.
Thank you so much! Yes, I remember those times when my kids were babies. I started doing this routine when my daughter was probably 18 months - maybe closer to two years old (feels like so long ago! 😅). And you will love it once you are able to get some me-time first thing in the morning.
I LOVE these types of videos!!! I love your routine. I work outside of the home but I am trying to get myself into a daily routine including working out in the morning so this is very motivating and encouraging. Thank you so much for sharing! Have an amazing work week! ❤❤
Thank you so much! I know for myself that if I don't workout in the morning it will not happen🙈 have a wonderful week!
Hi there love you're channel ❤ i just started my own channel with cleaning motivation,if you want to check it out the name is chananja's cozy house
What do you want ? A medal for doing normal stuff. I don’t get it. What am I missing.
My least favourite place/thing to clean in the house is the oven
I still don’t have enough stuff here in Ireland, but the tidying part is already annoying 😒
I remember this area from the beginning and it's looking so great! Good job. 👏👏
It looks great! I’m so glad you are able to keep it so nice and neat. 👏👏👏🥰
Love how you focus on creating a functional home - it's motivating to see a practical approach.We sent you an email, please take a look.
Great job. 👍
Thank you 😊
Good morning, Marta! 😊I’m starting my day with your video while preparing breakfast & lunches (urgghh those school lunches 🙄). P.S. love your shirt! Looks both office-like and cozy enough for working from home. I need one too now 😅
I agree with the food prep! and thank you 😊
Happy New Year! 🎉
Happy new year!! Hope it's off to a great start 😊
I love paper planners but my husband loves any thing digital. So we are trying out family wall planning app. It’s ok so far. Great video 👏👏👏🤍
Definitely let me know how the app is working out! I'm intrigued 😃 Happy New Year!
I'm using the Passionate Penny Pincher planner for the 2nd year.
I just looked it up and it seems like an amazing planner! Happy Planning 😊
Wow you get so much done..way to go! Very inspirational 🥰
Thank you! 🤗 I'm definitely the most productive during the morning hours!
Happy new year, Marta! ❤ Hitting off my post-festive cleaning with you 😁

That's awesome! Hope you enjoyed your morning! It is hard with 9 month old. So if the baby is keeping you up a night, and it is hard to get up early, maybe start very slowly. Like waking up 15 minutes earlier than usual.
This is very inspiring. Thanks for a realistic video of your time spent.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Happy New Year!
