There are two things to do daily (between dinner and bed) that make life way better: clean the kitchen up and put things left out back were they belong. 90% life improvement
1 clean up the space you spend your mornings in the night before 2 grab your outfit for the day the night before 3 get to bed on time (turn your tv off an hour before you go to sleep and set a bed time) 4 wake up early 5 drink 8-12 oz of water first thing in the morning 6 make a to-do list 7 get ready, even if you have no where to go
Even though I’m an empty nester, setting the b’fast table night before... choosing my am clothes, and deciding on the next day’s menus is STILL key to curing the chaos or even the doldrums!
Definitely choosing a menu for the next day is awesome. No staring into the fridge hoping something inspires you lol. Getting meat defrosted or prepping veggies for dinner is so helpful.
When my kids were babies, (now teenagers) I found getting up an hour before they did made a huge difference. I had time to think in the quiet of the morning, shower, dress and coffee. Made a happier mom! I still do this before leaving for work. Me time!
Totally agree! I have a 2, 5 and 13 year old and if my little ones are up there is no piece and quiet. I can't even get my coffee pot on before I hear mom, mom, mom
These videos are changing my life as a new sahm ,me and my husband got so depressed and stuck in a bad cycle. Even if we aren't able to keep up with every single thing even just being able to follow a few of ur videos little tips has made our days as 1st time parents to a 3 month old so much easier and happier.These really have been pushing me through this awful postpartum . Thank you calie ❤️
I am probably one of your weirdest fans, I got your humor right away, and appreciate it. I lost who I thought I was, but thats a long story, anyway, i was once more organized than I have been recently. I went through a huge thing, got deeply depressed and then so now I'm also not as mobile so I've been in need of this kind of help. I probably won't do it perfect or even close but it helps to know of the ideas other have. One of the endearing, if not annoying things my mom used to do was to call me every morning to try to help me in her way, she always asked me what I have planned for dinner. One of the actual few questions she ever asked me, so it's taken me a long time and many tears to get to where I can see that as a good tip to help me prioritize, and that's as nice as I can be for now. Thanks for your tips and I will really get good use of those tips that resonated with me. I'm much older than you so I don't have to deal with little ones anymore but I have to try to keep myself up and routines, plans, etc. help a great deal.
I had a nice water habit going for a while, but got lazy. I used to keep a bottle of water next to my bed that I would chug before I got out of bed every morning. I really need to start doing that again. Thanks for the reminder.😊
I have to have water too as soon as i wake up, i also have to make my bed immediately otherwise i feel so out of order lol cold water on my face and make the kids lunches for school The night before
I am in college and I've had my own bedtime alarms for years! Idk why more people don't do it. What's harder than setting the alarm, like you said, is sticking to it!
I love that you're real with your advice and making sure you let your viewers know it won't happen overnight. I'm a person who wants to see results and change right now and hearing you say that helps tremendously. I've been a SAHM for 4 years and for the last 4 I've been the... clean on the weekend and lounge with my kids during the week but the last 3 months I've really been working on me and becoming more productive and happier with my environment for myself and family. Love your tips and listening to you
My husband would leave me if I said we're shutting television at 8:30 and going to bed at 9:30. He stops work at 7:00 and we eat dinner at 8:00. We need time to chill have a cocktail and talk about the day!
Got my planner in the mail yesterday and I love it. It has a cover can easily be wiped down. It is so simple and easy to use. Each month starts with a page to put goals for the month, next is the month at a glance, followed by each week at a glance. I love that there is lots of space for lists at the top of each day followed a schedule at the bottom to plan when I’m going to MAKE time to do it. I have lists on pieces of paper all over the place, but can’t find them when I have extra time to do something. There’s something about writing things down all in one place that makes this so attractive and functional. My phone calendar was not working for me. I feel so encouraged. I gave the same review to the seller. Thanks Kallie for introducing me to this organizer.
List works great for me. I am a morning person. I dont beat my self if I don't get something done. Tomorrow. Focus on my weight now. Started at 203lbs. 144goal. 171lbs now. 27lbs to go.
Great tips! I used to get up right when my son does (6am and he just turned 1) but then I developed a habit of getting up an hour before him to do a small workout, drink lots of water and then get my coffee going. It gave me a good push to get the day going. I usually get out of work at 8:30pm. So I typically come home, take a shower , eat dinner with my husband and then go to bed like an old lady. I actually like that we don't do the dishes every night cuz it's the very first thing I tackle after feeding my son in the morning. Gives me a fresh start to the day. I'm constantly making lists as well they definitely help.
This is random. Dollar Tree has reusable cups with lids that say “But First, Coffee.” Maybe you’ve seen them. I just did. Oh my goodness immediately thought of you!!
Lists in the past have given me bad anxiety. But maybe it’s time to give them another shot! I implement most of these other tips. So good and make a huge impact.
Strangely I can't drink water first thing in the morning, it makes me nauseous 🤪; but I do know I need to drink it after breakfast. And, I have been using making a list of what I want to accomplish and it really does help. I also love crossing those things off. Thanks for all the great tips.
I'm 64 and I understand the pain you feel, yes you will survive...and I couldn't find where to stop the madness. Wished I had adopted just some of these habits, it would have eventually become a habit. I appreciate her bravery and honesty.
I use my bedtime alarm on my phone and my phone will go on do not disturb from 8:00pm to 6:00 am, it’s helped me be able to wind down and actually go to sleep on time! Important calls are always able to go through, I set that in the settings!
My favorite routine I do every Sunday is food prep for the week, prep all snacks and lunches for my kids and my most favorite is laying out my kids clothes and also my work clothes for the whole week!
Thank you, I also throw make up on, and do my hair. Even when I'm home. Just makes me feel better and feel motivated. Also! I ALWAYS make my bed everyday.
Productive Mornings for the win! I love how you did this... Smiled all the way through. I love my early morning routine and aim to get something done for my home, heart (family), body (mental and physical) and soul (self-improvement) all before one of my four kids need me... I'm a work in progress though. Love your work - thanks for sharing. x Mel
Actually, I have found it's a habit you can create. You just have to decide if you want to put in the effort for it. I have been a morning person at times and I have been a night person. As humans we are creatures of habits. If you ever want to become a morning person, you'll be surprised how quickly that can happen
Thank You so much for the videos 7 habits for the morning. I am bad now that I do not work about putting on an "out fit" and make-up. I figure slouchiy cloths were fine but embarrassed if mailman or whoever come to the door and no make up because who would see me and I was wasting it for just me. But, I am worth it and it does make you feel better and of course look better. (Hey girls who are not my age yet it also helps take care of your skin better even if you do not ware any atleast please cleanse and moisturize it will have really paid off down the line.
Am I the only mom that fell asleep with kids & wake up multiple times at night to nurse & waken up by kids every day ! Total 10 hours sleep but still tired lol 😆
Kinda late - 10 months late lol. But... the reason you feel tired even though you get a total of 10 hours of sleep is because you are constantly woken up and don't have uninterrupted 8 hours of sleep. Once the kids are older and you can get more uninterrupted sleep you will feel better. Also, good nutritious eating habit helps a lot. I am close to my 30s and have more energy than my entire adolescence and 20s.
@C. Lord From my pediatrician when I called hysterical that my newborn never sleeps: Congratulations! The more intelligent they are, the less they sleep! That was the first of my tribe of twelve. My neighbor comforted me that I’d feel human again when the baby started sleeping all night.
@@rosemariemartinez4030 well, that explains my oldest 🤣 His nickname is Evil Genius! My other 6 are sucktacular sleepers too. I believe mine are all allergic to sleeping lol.
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. I swear you could have been raised by me. Your tips today are exactly how I was as a mother with children still at home. Now that I’m retired & it’s just my husband & me, I’m not quite as strict with my habits, but still follow most of them. My husband still is in the workforce, so I have more me time & can plan things differently (like sleep in a bit longer, actually read a book in it’s entirety without letting other things slide & even take a few minutes to sit & have a cup of tea & do nothing @ all!). I have always liked making certain that things are straightened up & no dirty dishes before going to bed. I know that I will wake up with a calmness facing me. I also always swept & mopped the kitchen floors right before heading off to bed.
Great video. I do some of the things you suggest already. I've been setting an alarm in the mornings before my daughter wakes up just to have a shower. I was staying up at night to do that & waking up whenever she did. Now I make sure she's up at 7am daily (including weekends). I work late at night unfortunately & don't get much sleep because of it. By the weekend, I'm napping during her nap.
Just watching this video makes me want to be productive right now lol. I love that youre open about how you dont always use these tips amd you struggle with things too amd that things like changing habits can take awhile. Some people when they give tips come off as people who think their better amd everything comes easy to them. But not you, you're like a helpful non judgmental friend lol. I struggle with turning off my tv or, in my case, my phone because I watch sculpting videos to fall asleep. So maybe a solution for that is to not watch anything on my phone while getting ready for bed time, but right when I actually get in bed and lay down, then turn on a sculpting video and have my screen light really dim. Right now I'm into 3d pen vids. They're usually like 10 minutes (sped up) . I fall asleep way before then. lol
Lists help me stay on track, but instead of crossing out what’s finished, I run a yellow or pink highlighter over it. If it’s only half done, highlight halfway. At the end of the day I used to feel depressed that I hadn’t done anything. This way I can look at the list, see what’s highlighted, and feel “WOW! I got a lot done today.” And if I do something extra that wasn’t on the list, it gets added and highlighted. Important at day’s end to recognize that you were successful and to appreciate yourself.
Go to bed and get good sleep early 930or before, I wake up at400am with a good feeling. This is some one who wrked nightshift for a long time. I am only74. It took me a while to gobzck to that routine.
My wake up time to have ME time is 5:15am. It is not always easy, but YES...doing it does make it a more productive morning and day. I have two children under two - so, busy is BUSY!! I love that we have almost the same tips - but I have to be better at drinking water and making the lists in the morning...and getting my outfit ready the night before. And...totally going to put an alarm on my phone with time that I need to be in bed. Thanks for sharing!!!!
Great video! I have the opposite schedule. I work night shifts so I find myself way more productive at night on my days off. I keep the same schedule as you but at night on my days off. I wake up at 4-5 pm, and go to bed by 10 am. I’m very blessed to have a husband and 2 kids to sleep like logs during the night because it allows me to still keep up with house chores during the night (this includes vacuuming and having music on at any volume at any time during the night LOL)(disclaimer: I usually have piano, coffee shop pop playlist, or soft sounding music playing). And I have way more “me time” than I normally did when I used to work day shifts. However, on Saturday and Sunday when my kids are home, I dedicate at least 4-6 hours during the day on the weekends to my family. It’s complicated to explain because there’s more to it than what I’ve commented lmao but I’m in a much better mental state because I stayed dedicated to this schedule. I always thank Past Me! 😂
Just discovered your channel. You are so refreshing and adorable!!! Watching December 2020. Who would have guessed how the year played out?? Love your tips!! And you are HILARIOUS 😍😍 Love Shea!
We set alarms for our son. Helps him know what's happening. We have an alarm for technology off an hour before bed. Half an hour before bed an alarm to say its book time and then an alarm for my little ones bedtime 😊has actually really helped. We've set them on our Alexa so it announces it so my son can hear too😊
Love your videos. When I was home with my 4 kiddos I used a huge desk calendar to organize, each kiddos had a highlighter color!. Now I use Google calendar, I love it! Still color coded and all. Only the youngest @ 18yrs old at home now! Love your organization tips, we are downsizing in 21'.
You did a great job with this!! I appreciated especially what you shared about connecting your night person with your morning person - Makes so much sense!! I agree with the other comments that you do have a great sense of humor, and it was like you read my mind when you mentioned your planner and the link to it!! I need to listen to this a second time and take some notes!! Thanks so much!!
Set up your coffee the night before (or better yet, when you clean out the coffee-maker) for the next day. Then when you wake up, all you have to do is push a button. I'm saying this as someone who makes an entire pot of coffee shared by my husband and myself - not Keurig. Push the button, take your shower, and once you are dressed you can have your first cup of freshly-brewed coffee.
I used to pick out clothes night before going to school. It’s really helpful I learnt that from my sister and had forgotten until I got late to work few weeks a go for few days in the morning.
I really like the 50s housewife tip of setting the breakfast table the day before 🙂 I suppose this is only really helpful if you have family breakfasts.
I usually wake up between 5:30-6:30 everyday. I don’t do it on purpose but I can’t stay awake past 9-9:30 at night. I enjoy my coffee, sometimes meditate or watch videos. It is so much better than a hectic get up and get ready morning. And I always make my bed before work
I use the delay start function on my washing machine every night, setting a wash load to begin at around 4 am. I get up at 5:30 and throw the load in the dryer....an easy shot in the arm to feel like the day is off to a great start
I make my list before I go to bed and add to it the next morning. I sleep better not trying to remember what I want to do when I want to walk up. Sometimes I write down things I did that were not on the list so I can cross something off!
Have you ever tried the Happy Planners? The Wellness Planner is my favorite :) Id be lost and so much more frazzled without it. I LOVE & APPRECIATE your channel and all of your tips! And you & your hubby cleaning the kitchen TOGETHER made my heart happy!
Hearing some of these tips that you hear all the time from you made me want to use them even more instead of rolling my eyes lol. The bedtime routine alarm thing is such a good idea! I am a notorious night owl, but lately I'm too tired the last 2 hours before bedtime to really do much, so what's the point. My nighttime routine, if I do eeeeevery little part of it (which really, I probably should - eye cream doesn't apply itself and nobody likes dark circles lol!) - really does take ages when I always think I can do it in 10 minutes. Thank you for giving this 'big sisterly' advice lol!
I've been watching a bunch of your videos this morning. I subscribed awhile ago but somehow missed them. So many great tips! I enjoy your sense of humor. Something we all need during this crazy time.
Unfortunately I have Hypothyroidism, BUT having to take my medicine in the morning with a glass of water has made a huge difference in my life and my mornings! I had no idea a big glass of water first thing, would matter but it definitely does. I am also a list maker. I have pads of paper and pens in every room but the bedroom. Thank you for this video. You are very entertaining whilst trying to get your information out.
Honestly, I mostly came here because of your channel name 😂 but I ended up really liking this video. Getting up early can be a drag, but I‘m going to try some of the things you talked about here.
Hey mother goose 🦋 those are some really grate habitats. I’m definitely thinking about picking some of these up. Thanks for making this video. Can’t wait to see more content.
First of all, you're hilarious so this was super enjoyable to watch, but also I loved these little tips and reminders of things that I can do that will keep me on track and boost my productivity!
There are two things to do daily (between dinner and bed) that make life way better: clean the kitchen up and put things left out back were they belong. 90% life improvement
I thought everyone did that anyway. I could not imagine not doing it.
1 clean up the space you spend your mornings in the night before
2 grab your outfit for the day the night before
3 get to bed on time (turn your tv off an hour before you go to sleep and set a bed time)
4 wake up early
5 drink 8-12 oz of water first thing in the morning
6 make a to-do list
7 get ready, even if you have no where to go
T.y.!
Thanks, much appreciate it!
Yeah the last 4 are a huge NO thanks haha
Thank You! 🙂
1,2,5,7, I do already, gotta work HARD on 3,4,6!!!
Even though I’m an empty nester, setting the b’fast table night before... choosing my am clothes, and deciding on the next day’s menus is STILL key to curing the chaos or even the doldrums!
Doldrums! That’s what I live in!
Definitely choosing a menu for the next day is awesome. No staring into the fridge hoping something inspires you lol. Getting meat defrosted or prepping veggies for dinner is so helpful.

Me: watching a productive morning routine video to avoid getting out of bed and having an actual productive morning
👁 👄 👁
Same. I’m watching in my robe while eyeing my bed bc I’m considering getting back in it for another quick round 😴 😆
With you all the way!
Me too. The inspiration I sought from this video is just not coming 😂
That part
🤣😂🤣
Tell me your BEST morning habits!
The water thing is a favorite of mine, as well as prepping the night before (I am not great about this one lol).
Water!!! I'm so Thirsty's first thing in the morning
I had a nice water habit going for a while, but got lazy. I used to keep a bottle of water next to my bed that I would chug before I got out of bed every morning. I really need to start doing that again. Thanks for the reminder.😊
calm music & i get ready for the day in my cozy clothes and change right before i have to leave
I have to have water too as soon as i wake up, i also have to make my bed immediately otherwise i feel so out of order lol cold water on my face and make the kids lunches for school
The night before
Your sarcastic sense of humor makes me wish we were best friends 🤣
I was thinking the same thing during the whole video lol
Ditto!!!

When I was a kid, I noticed that my Grandmother would always set the table for breakfast before going to sleep. Great idea since I hate doing it.
Who would give your video a thumbs down? You are such a relatable and enthusiastic UA-camr that gives great mom tips! Please keep the content coming😄

Yes!! Super fun!
Yes, it's perfectly edited! Fun to watch!
I love lists they've made a huge difference for me. It really makes me feel like I've accomplished somethig.
I use my bedtime alarm on my phone and my phone will go on do not disturb from 8:00pm to 6:00 am, it’s helped me be able to wind down and actually go to sleep on time! Important calls are always able to go through, I set that in the settings!
I LOOOOVE lists too. I make a Top 5 list every morning and feel super accomplished just getting 5 things off a list everyday.
I used to be a morning person till this pandemic hit! Gotta get back on track.. Thank you!
My favorite routine I do every Sunday is food prep for the week, prep all snacks and lunches for my kids and my most favorite is laying out my kids clothes and also my work clothes for the whole week!
I do this Monday mornings! So helpful!
Urrrggg that would kill me. I just grab sundering from the closet. I love choosing whatever i feel like on the day it takes literally 2 minutes
Thank you, I also throw make up on, and do my hair. Even when I'm home. Just makes me feel better and feel motivated. Also! I ALWAYS make my bed everyday.
I never wear makeup. Hate the stuff
Thanks! I really need to go back to lists. Even during pandemic, it feels like I have so much time. But I need to use my time more wisely.
Funny, but helpful! I watch u tube n do dishes. Need to set alarm to wind down cuz I binge watch too late at night

I’m pretty sure to wake up early is not a habit, it’s a skill.
What
How
A skill is a habit mastered ?
Actually, I have found it's a habit you can create. You just have to decide if you want to put in the effort for it.
I have been a morning person at times and I have been a night person. As humans we are creatures of habits. If you ever want to become a morning person, you'll be surprised how quickly that can happen
A boss skill for sure
Nope
Yes! I have started to do this routine as a new work at home mom of a 3 month old!
Thank You so much for the videos 7 habits for the morning. I am bad now that I do not work about putting on an "out fit" and make-up. I figure slouchiy cloths were fine but embarrassed if mailman or whoever come to the door and no make up because who would see me and I was wasting it for just me.

I have always liked making certain that things are straightened up & no dirty dishes before going to bed. I know that I will wake up with a calmness facing me. I also always swept & mopped the kitchen floors right before heading off to bed.
Great video. I do some of the things you suggest already. I've been setting an alarm in the mornings before my daughter wakes up just to have a shower. I was staying up at night to do that & waking up whenever she did. Now I make sure she's up at 7am daily (including weekends). I work late at night unfortunately & don't get much sleep because of it. By the weekend, I'm napping during her nap.
Just watching this video makes me want to be productive right now lol. I love that youre open about how you dont always use these tips amd you struggle with things too amd that things like changing habits can take awhile. Some people when they give tips come off as people who think their better amd everything comes easy to them. But not you, you're like a helpful non judgmental friend lol. I struggle with turning off my tv or, in my case, my phone because I watch sculpting videos to fall asleep. So maybe a solution for that is to not watch anything on my phone while getting ready for bed time, but right when I actually get in bed and lay down, then turn on a sculpting video and have my screen light really dim. Right now I'm into 3d pen vids. They're usually like 10 minutes (sped up) . I fall asleep way before then. lol
Lists help me stay on track, but instead of crossing out what’s finished, I run a yellow or pink highlighter over it. If it’s only half done, highlight halfway. At the end of the day I used to feel depressed that I hadn’t done anything. This way I can look at the list, see what’s highlighted, and feel “WOW! I got a lot done today.” And if I do something extra that wasn’t on the list, it gets added and highlighted. Important at day’s end to recognize that you were successful and to appreciate yourself.
Go to bed and get good sleep early 930or before, I wake up at400am with a good feeling. This is some one who wrked nightshift for a long time. I am only74. It took me a while to gobzck to that routine.
Love watching u!!!! ♥️ Every morning, I fix coffee or hot lemon/honey water and look over my planner or get caught up on my fav UA-cam videos.
My wake up time to have ME time is 5:15am. It is not always easy, but YES...doing it does make it a more productive morning and day. I have two children under two - so, busy is BUSY!! I love that we have almost the same tips - but I have to be better at drinking water and making the lists in the morning...and getting my outfit ready the night before. And...totally going to put an alarm on my phone with time that I need to be in bed. Thanks for sharing!!!!
The to-do list works great, usually when I try be productive I end having to much time, so know I can just check my list!
Great video! I have the opposite schedule. I work night shifts so I find myself way more productive at night on my days off. I keep the same schedule as you but at night on my days off. I wake up at 4-5 pm, and go to bed by 10 am. I’m very blessed to have a husband and 2 kids to sleep like logs during the night because it allows me to still keep up with house chores during the night (this includes vacuuming and having music on at any volume at any time during the night LOL)(disclaimer: I usually have piano, coffee shop pop playlist, or soft sounding music playing). And I have way more “me time” than I normally did when I used to work day shifts. However, on Saturday and Sunday when my kids are home, I dedicate at least 4-6 hours during the day on the weekends to my family. It’s complicated to explain because there’s more to it than what I’ve commented lmao but I’m in a much better mental state because I stayed dedicated to this schedule. I always thank Past Me! 😂
I need to take on that bedtime reminder. 😂 I don't have kids but with my long hours at work I go to bed so late.
It's a subconscious thing. You're trying to get back some "alone/me time" that you don't have during the rest of your long/busy day.
I love how honest you are!
Just discovered your channel. You are so refreshing and adorable!!! Watching December 2020. Who would have guessed how the year played out?? Love your tips!! And you are HILARIOUS 😍😍 Love Shea!
I set a bedtime alarm for my 4 year old. Been helping get him in the mindset to go to bed
That’s a good idea! I’ll try that with my lil one... thanks 😊
I need to try this! My 3 year old HATES bedtime. Maybe, just maybe this will work as it's the one tip I have not yet heard! Thanks 😊
@@Mrs.J.D.B I bought a visual timer from Amazon. Helps littler kids who may not understand the concept of time. Good luck.
Great idea I’ll have to try this 😀
We set alarms for our son. Helps him know what's happening. We have an alarm for technology off an hour before bed. Half an hour before bed an alarm to say its book time and then an alarm for my little ones bedtime 😊has actually really helped. We've set them on our Alexa so it announces it so my son can hear too😊
Love your videos. When I was home with my 4 kiddos I used a huge desk calendar to organize, each kiddos had a highlighter color!. Now I use Google calendar, I love it! Still color coded and all. Only the youngest @ 18yrs old at home now! Love your organization tips, we are downsizing in 21'.
OH MYYY. 4:30? Before the kids??? This is a great challenge!
You did a great job with this!! I appreciated especially what you shared about connecting your night person with your morning person - Makes so much sense!! I agree with the other comments that you do have a great sense of humor, and it was like you read my mind when you mentioned your planner and the link to it!! I need to listen to this a second time and take some notes!! Thanks so much!!
I'm tired at night .. I choose my outfit in the morning when I'm rested and refreshed.
Set up your coffee the night before (or better yet, when you clean out the coffee-maker) for the next day. Then when you wake up, all you have to do is push a button. I'm saying this as someone who makes an entire pot of coffee shared by my husband and myself - not Keurig. Push the button, take your shower, and once you are dressed you can have your first cup of freshly-brewed coffee.
I used to pick out clothes night before going to school. It’s really helpful I learnt that from my sister and had forgotten until I got late to work few weeks a go for few days in the morning.
Love this as I am creating my own few steps. Also there is a bedtime alarm function in the alarm app on the iphone. It's the bed icon.
Yes! We drink 24ozs of water every morning. It's great and does help with waking up the body and mind. 😊
I’m so glad I found your channel!! You completely changed my mood. Thank you for the help!😄
I really like the 50s housewife tip of setting the breakfast table the day before 🙂 I suppose this is only really helpful if you have family breakfasts.
Great job on this video. Your editing is spot on. Enjoyed hearing from you. Your son is growing fast!
I usually wake up between 5:30-6:30 everyday. I don’t do it on purpose but I can’t stay awake past 9-9:30 at night. I enjoy my coffee, sometimes meditate or watch videos. It is so much better than a hectic get up and get ready morning. And I always make my bed before work
I use the delay start function on my washing machine every night, setting a wash load to begin at around 4 am. I get up at 5:30 and throw the load in the dryer....an easy shot in the arm to feel like the day is off to a great start
Love your videos so much!! Thank you for sharing all of this!! Such great tips and I love your personality ❤️
I make my list before I go to bed and add to it the next morning. I sleep better not trying to remember what I want to do when I want to walk up. Sometimes I write down things I did that were not on the list so I can cross something off!
Love this girl! I’m definitely a list maker too
Have you ever tried the Happy Planners? The Wellness Planner is my favorite :) Id be lost and so much more frazzled without it.
I LOVE & APPRECIATE your channel and all of your tips! And you & your hubby cleaning the kitchen TOGETHER made my heart happy!
I Admire You! My daughter wakes up around 10 , she's the one to wake me up. Because of Your inspiration i put alarm 8.45 for tomorrow...
New to your channel. Why have I never watched you before?!?!?! You have the best personality!!
Hearing some of these tips that you hear all the time from you made me want to use them even more instead of rolling my eyes lol. The bedtime routine alarm thing is such a good idea! I am a notorious night owl, but lately I'm too tired the last 2 hours before bedtime to really do much, so what's the point. My nighttime routine, if I do eeeeevery little part of it (which really, I probably should - eye cream doesn't apply itself and nobody likes dark circles lol!) - really does take ages when I always think I can do it in 10 minutes. Thank you for giving this 'big sisterly' advice lol!
I've been watching a bunch of your videos this morning. I subscribed awhile ago but somehow missed them. So many great tips! I enjoy your sense of humor. Something we all need during this crazy time.
Simple and effective video. 👍🏽 I’ve been researching for a new planner. I’m so happy you elaborated on it. Thank you!
Unfortunately I have Hypothyroidism, BUT having to take my medicine in the morning with a glass of water has made a huge difference in my life and my mornings! I had no idea a big glass of water first thing, would matter but it definitely does. I am also a list maker. I have pads of paper and pens in every room but the bedroom. Thank you for this video. You are very entertaining whilst trying to get your information out.
My gosh baby is literally adorable😘💙
List making works for me because it keeps me self accountable. Water first thing in the morning makes me sick due to my acid reflux.
Thank you so much for such great tips! Will definitely be trying them out! :)
I love your humor!
I love your sense of humour! If my toddler doesn't inflict self harm that's a great day! Great ideas, beautiful video. Nice water bottle
I’d suggest to set do not disturb mode on your phone. I have one for nighttime and it’s great. No random notifications before bed to distract.
Love this thank u!!!!!!!!!!
The back and forth with past and future you...I was laughing!!
Omg! This gives me such motivation and hope! I am def gonna try this❣️
Lefties rule! New sub here. Love paper planners.
yay!
Honestly, I mostly came here because of your channel name 😂 but I ended up really liking this video. Getting up early can be a drag, but I‘m going to try some of the things you talked about here.
This exactly what I needed this morning 😂
Binging your body of work for New Year's habits!!!
Lmao I love your humor 🤣 this video is very informative, thank you!
Hey mother goose 🦋 those are some really grate habitats. I’m definitely thinking about picking some of these up. Thanks for making this video. Can’t wait to see more content.
Loving these tips .. wrote the down and going to see what I can implement this week!
AWESOME!
Your hair looks gorgeous these days 😁
I have watched this video a few times to help me stay motivated & it never fails to crack me up 🤣 “Am I a millionaire yet?”
You’re so cute and 😄. I totally agree on getting up early! Great advice given in this video.
You got me fro the 50 Th second lolllll. Glad I found your channel.
Stress eliminators!! 👍
First of all, you're hilarious so this was super enjoyable to watch, but also I loved these little tips and reminders of things that I can do that will keep me on track and boost my productivity!
