Cleaning my depression room
I've been in such a funk. There is so much to do, but because I don't have the physical or mental capacity, I've been in a deep executive dysfunction. Today is the day, though, to re-engage with life and do an action step.

Working from home with 5 kids is...challenging
Переглядів 427Місяць тому
I’ve been so anxious lately. I was talking to a friend the other day about how parenting feels like giving all you’ve got but constantly feeling like it’s not enough. If you add in working, it’s the same sensation, but twice. Learning to be content with what I CAN do versus what I WANT to do is so difficult. Everything feels crucial- what my kids need from me, finances, mental health, my work. ...
Why Decluttering Hasn’t Worked for You (And How to Fix It)

You have a legit reason to NOT want to declutter. Now what? I always wanted to live in a less chaotic space, but I had legitimate reasons for being anxious about decluttering. Getting mad at myself didn’t help me declutter. Trying to hype myself up to declutter EVERY SINGLE ITEM I didn’t need/want didn’t work either. The only thing that has helped me is to: 1.

    Decision fatigue! I am so happy to have stumbled onto this video, and just want to thank you. My situation is bad. Through grief and loss (along with ADD), I’ve allowed my home to become about a level three hoard. But what you said that really resonated with me is regarding clothes. I have an endless access to free designer clothes. I’m a part of an organization that actually has a boutique, which is insane. So I have all of these gorgeous clothes, jewelry, bags, and even cosmetics (a separate connection), many of which have never been worn or used. Because I have very little income, I need to sell them, but I’m so disorganized. I have no storage and the clothing racks I have are horrible. I am looking at a kitchen that is cluttered from floor to ceiling, and I can’t seem to make a dent. And I know, when I go upstairs to my bedroom, it’s twice as bad. I sleep in a bed with 100 things on top of it, and my dresser is unspeakable. Some woman wanted to charge me $1000 just to organize my bedroom. That kind of puts it into perspective.

    So I’m gonna be completely honest. I bought my washer used recently, so when I took the seal off I began gagging it was SO bad! Definitely in my top 5 most disgusting projects because it wasn’t my dirt. But I wanted to first of all say thank you bc this video really helps. Also I was struggling with the needle nose so I grab 2 tiny flat heads (like the ones for glasses) & just kind of angled them on the silver rings & it was so much easier. I also HAD to use bleach on mine because the grossness was just stuck. Also the little hose was packed with (gagging) what I can only explain looked like poop🤮it takes a lot to make me sick & this definitely did. Thank you again!

I Never have thought of taking it apart and off. Well done. I’d love to try it but I don’t have a lot of strength in my hands so I’m nervous I’d not be able to do it. Plus I’d be too nervous to even try. lol. Ugh now I feel I need to knowing how much cleaner I can get it by taking it apart.

The spring retainers are not as hard as I thought. You just have to be strong enough to expand the spring and need a second set of hands to hold it in place while putting it back on. Thanks for taking the time to create the video.

    This was so helpful! I love the way you explained how you were feeling, and I also like how you had to force yourself to stop and eat lunch, even though you were feeling good and had the momentum to keep going. Been there, done that! 😋 I’m sure it was also helpful to add the extra layer of accountability by filming yourself. And BONUS, you get to see your “before and after” progress when you’re done! Thanks so much for sharing your videos and being honest about your real, unfiltered life. 🥰

      I don't think this should ever have to be done twice, because it's such a pain. Once I had cleaned it all, I had to change the way I did laundry. I wiped out the rubber gasket every time I finished a load of laundry and brought in a little fan to point at the open door so it totally dried. Wayyyy too much work for a washer, but I just didn't want to repeat the gasket removal!

    These. Words! These are the words on decluttering that I needed but have never heard. I obsessively watch/listen to decluttering and minimalist content knowing it’s mostly aspirational for me - often far from my ability to execute, just adding to my feelings of discouragement and frustration (with myself.) I too feel the fear of scarcity and live thinking of the “what ifs” and therefore hold onto things that are not useful to me in the present. Your honest and compassionate words were just what I needed today! TY! ❤

I appreciate your suggestions and hope to learn how to deal with things at my age and not feel bad about not being able to do the things I could do when I was younger. I’m trying my best to declutter my home and keep it looking neat. It’s challenging so I look forward to learning your system. Thank you for helping me feel hopeful!

      It's so hard to change what you expect of yourself. I was diagnosed with several autoimmune diseases in my late 20s, and it took me over a decade to realize I didn't have to be ashamed that I couldn't be as productive. I hope that you can transition to being so proud of what you're doing and compassionate about what you can't do. Decluttering has helped me a ton because there isn't as much to caretake when you have less belongings. I have a Home Reset guide on my shop, but also a free playlist of 30 days of videos on my UA-cam page. The first part is about catching up on essentials, like laundry, dishes, bathrooms. But later, I work on decluttering. Sometimes it helps to have direction and company whilst doing tasks like decluttering! Feel free to email me if you ever need anything or have questions! sarah@adaptive-living.com

You needed to unscrew the last 2 two screws in your video and remove the cover and you will see that a screw is needed to attach the last part of your washing machine before you screw in your last two screws. You did a wonderful job. I just didn’t want you to think that you were having a senior moment. 😉

    Ok, found you through the Minimal Mom podcast, didn’t even finish watching it and headed over to your channel. This was my first video….I’m thinking, where have you been this whole time?? I get sicker and sicker and my caretaking for many is outside of my house so the drain is real. Thanks for REAL solutions that resonate! I’ve always struggled (ADD dx @ 25 y.o.), but perimenopause and 4.5 years of shingles on top of lupus that all came together in March of 2020 really changed things. 5 surgeries and subsequent recovery caretaking among 3 women we care for in our family within 8 months this year almost took me out.
