- BEWARE: Lots of rambling jabbering in this video! I have no one else to talk to, the cats are ignoring me today, so YOU folks are the lucky ones being talked at!! :)
When the kitten allows, at the end of each of my cleaning videos you see me checking jobs off of my lists. In this video, I explain my different lists, how they're keeping me on track, and how they motivate me. The cats are on strike today, so no cleaning or cats in this one, sorry. But the next video will be well worth the wait!!

"Ungross it!" Love it! Your organizing lists are great! Stay motivated! You don't realize how many people you are helping as you help yourself!
Such a sweet and thoughtful son!
I'm still awed by how many people say I'm helping them. It makes me twice as motivated....well, mentally. Physically is another thing. That work is tiring!! lol Thank you so much for your great words!
Thank you! I think I'll keep him. lol
You are an inspiration!
She is helping me. I just found her today.
Good enough, is good enough for now. I like that. Perfectionist tendencies cause me to do nothing as well. The need to make it perfect stops me from doing anything at all. So, I'm going to remember your words.
Your words are giving me a really up-beat day. Thank you for that. And that's my problem. I'll spend 3 hours making one drawer perfect, when the rest of the house requires shoes and gloves to meet safety standards. Doesn't work. lol I hope I'm able to motivate us both! Thanks, again, for watching!
You have given me fresh motivation as well. Thank you so much!
That's awesome to hear!! Hopefully, I'll keep mine going, too.
yep i'm the same. I've started doing affirmations in the morning now 'done is more important than perfect' to try and drum into my head that perfectionism has its place but that place is not with its fat ass sat right in the middle of my path! it has worked a bit actually! I see you like being a bit creative with your to-do list..check out bullet journals - you might enjoy doing one! :)
My New Me you will, I have total confidence in you. 😊❤
You are a very intelligent, perfectionist with bouts of depression. Take it from me, that is a recipe for disaster. Perfectionism leads to procrastination. I can't get that task done because I need to do this and that first. What I witnessed in these videos is not just a lady cleaning. I witnessed psychological warfare at its finest. You battling with yourself every swipe of the dish rag. It was awesome to be honest. Keep it up. You are an inspiration
Happy Housewife spot on. I was amazed when i had a roommate once who would just do things. I had multiple things i HAD to do 1st, he would just do it. So eye opening to who i am.
Happy Housewife, your message sums it all up! Very eloquently said. Beautiful message.
Today, I found you. I have Depression/Anxiety and I am on medication. I also have chronic pain in most of my body. I just LOVE you! As I binge watched your videos for over 3 hours, I finally got off of my "sore" butt, and cleaned my kitchen. I took many breaks, but it is finally done. I am going to use your videos for my inspiration to clean up my life. You are amazing! Thank you so much for your determination to keep trying. I also found a tip online that I can share with you. For my furniture, I tried using gardening gloves with textured rubber on the palms to wipe the cat hair off of the furniture. I found that it is less tiring than trying to get it off with lint brushes and/or the vacuum cleaner. And every speck of hair comes right off! Keep being you! You're
smart, beautiful, and the most genuinely warm person on UA-cam. Thank-you!
What a great son you have! That's a better gift that any amount of money can buy!
Isn't it?? But he says I'm cheating. Each time he gets the list down to one or two items left, I add more. Hes not wrong. lol
My New Me That's hilarious!
It's not cheating! He promised you (3) 2-day "weekends" worth of work. It's not your fault if you underestimated how amazing & fast he is at getting through the list! ;-)
Tell him he's probably one of the best sons a mother could ask for, because that is quite a sacrifice for him, I'm sure!
Love your sincerity.
Thank you!! That's so nice to say! Thanks for watching!
I found you yesterday and you are just what I was looking for! My house is full of clutter and mess and I have just shut down and given up. I have been searching for a video that is real life. I thought am I the only one like this? I cannot thank you enough for being so genuine and authentic . You have given me motivation and I am right now going to get up and pick up all the clutter on my kitchen counters and table. Thank you for giving me hope. 😘
I would like to know who the one person is that keeps giving your videos a thumbs down, and slap the shit out of them!!
Debra Odom LOL!! Your comment cracked me up so bad!! I do wholeheartedly agree. We must ready our brazen hands for the smacking of these tiny bird brained buffoons... indeed, we shall even clean up our resulting mess. "My New Me" has taught us everything - we GOT 'dis.
(runs off to find pimp hat)

(#20inchBladesOnTheImpala)
boom boom Lol, yes undeed!!
indeed, stupid phone!!
I just found you today. I'm really looking forward to seeing many, many more(hopefully) :) You remind me of myself in a lot of ways. I also have an illness plus I try to take care of my chronically ill husband, sigh. Some days I'm just too tired and unmotivated. Things can very quickly get out of hand. I tend to do 30-45 mins then sit and watch a vid or something before going back to it. TY for putting this out there and helping motivate me. I'm never motivated by watching 20 year olds with endless energy clean already spotless homes.
I'm sorry about what you're going through but am super happy that I've motivated you!! I do love watching all of the cleaning videos, though. Even the spotless home ones as they help me to daydream that I may someday be at that stage if I keep going. Maybe probably should be stressed in that sentence....lol There will be more videos. I'm working hard on the next room. It just takes me awhile to do the actual work. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Perhaps we should start a club! I, too, really identify. I, too, believe that these videos and the systematic approach will help me. For two years now, I have been a victim of depression and overwhelm. I am feeling quite hopeful after watching these videos.
Have you watched any videos on decluttering? Good luck, I have too much stuff too!
LKBuie u r not alone. Hope you and i both can overcome our depression in the very near future.
I think your son's gift is really heartfelt and wonderful. Much better than anything $ can buy. Thank you for the motivation. God bless.
you mentioned in one of your videos that your dishwasher is broke. I use mine as a dish drainer. It gets the clean dishes out of the way while they are drying.
being a perfectionist, ironically, is a lot of what paralyzes us. we're overwhelmed by the size and scope of a task when the end goal is 'perfection'. ditching the 'perfect' is the key.
Thanks for sharing your journey - it inspires me and I know, others as well.
I'm so pleased you're taking the steps to move forward. Depression is a debilitating illness on it's own. I'm so proud of you and for you. Lots of love xx
That is so nice of you to say! Thank you for watching and for understanding!
You have nice handwriting. I'd love to see your journal that you mentioned in another video.
Hello from Alberta, Canada. Discovered your channel yesterday, dear lady NewMe ... Will follow you ... and your cats (smiles). Love, cat.
I am a frustrated perfectionist and self described lazy ass who can't start anything for fear of failure or not being able to complete it perfectly. I can live in chaos but I really prefer it clean and orderly. I'm glad I found you this morning. You inspire and motivate me. Also, I live with two kitties in 900 square feet. Cat hair everywhere! Love my swiffer floor duster. Keep the vids coming! I think they will help me overcome whatever is blocking me from becoming who I am meant to be.
I am loving your videos! What a thoughtful gift from your son. Totally cracked up when you said he doesn't realize how small you can write or how many pieces of paper you have! :D You are so inspiring!
L O V E YOUR HANDWRITING!!!!!
I love your handwriting. I am only able to print. I sure know what it is like to have health issues that throw your home into chaos. My knee broke in January and was replaced in April of 2016. In April we found out we had to leave our apartment where I had lived nearly a decade and Marty had lived for 17 years. Then in late September of the same year, while packing to move, my sacrum broke. I kept packing because our deadline was approaching. We moved, I unpacked, all the while in agony and bit by bit losing the use of my left leg, which was my good leg previous to the broken sacrum. I was in so much pain that I failed to put out the year end appeal for our non-profit, probably losing a third of our program's annual income right there. I finally collapsed and then had major neurosurgery on January 6th of 2017. I have recovered most of the housework to a low scream level that is working again and getting a tiny bit cleaner every day. Now I am trying to recover my office work and get myself able to use a calendar again. I have PTSD and suffer other mental health issues causing calendar management problems. Thank you very much for posting your List notebook. I tend to use 3 x 5 cards for making lists or ideas, then I sort the cards into the best order after creating them. I would like to know more about how you kept up with your correspondence and bills while under the weather. You are very brave.
Your son really loves you. If you have even one person in your life who loves you, you are rich.💝🎁
The best motivation video I ever saw! The others are already with a clean house, you was there in the Life's Deep waves and nobody better than you to motivate me and so many others. When I am lazy around house with a lot to do, I watch your movies and I get out and starting cleaning, and thanks to YOU.....keep me move on !
That's awesome to hear! Thank you!!
Please keep going. I can clean up and keep stuff organized, but my daughter can't. Watching you is helping me to be patient with my daughter, as I do love her dearly. But since she has moved back in with me and mostly lies around all day and night, it has been so hard to be kind and understanding. I m beginning to see that she has a problem that needs outside help as she is not using drugs, alcohol and refuses to see anyone. By sharing your struggles, means that she isn't the only one who struggles!
Many blessings on you!
Your honesty is refreshing. The amount of your viewers is proof of how you are filling a need for many women.
Your son must be so proud of you! I think this offer is him acknowledging how hard you're working 💛
Best Mother's Day gift I got was a completed "Honey-Do" list. I'd take that over more chachki's to dust any day!
I've watched a few cleaning channels but you're the first I've found who doesnt come across as a Stepford wife type. You wear what I wear when I'm cleaning. Your house was actually dirty (no offense). Most of the channels I've watched, the women have on perfect makeup, clothes and their houses arent really dirty. If anything it looks to me like they might have tossed a few clothes or toys on the floor and thats it. I never see any real dirt, no dust, etc. Thanks for being real.
Susie I know exactly what you mean 😘

Thanks for the videos! Love them! Love your strength and determination! Hugs from Georgia!
"Good enough is good enough for now" YES!
"My son has forgotten how small I can write." LOL!!!
So sweet! I love thoughtful gifts like that!
Good for you... take a rest break whenever you need to. It will keep you from getting discouraged. And what a great son you have for wanting to help his mom. You're a lucky lady :-)
So happy you have a son that shows his appreciation.
Only if it would suit you and only when you're ready, how about adding a 'Me' section to the list? That could be a hobby, or personal goal, or something self-care orientated. They could be small, simple things such as just enjoying a scented candle, or treating yourself to a new bottle of bubble bath, as well as bigger, longer term objectives. You're a lovely lady and you deserve to be treated as such.
Great idea!!!
Thank you for showing your lists. It's not boring, it's extremely helpful,and most of all a way of tracking what needs to be done. I have the same problems, so it's good to see how you have worked it out. The biggest "and" is, youre allowed to change it, because it doesn't work for you, I like that because there is no judgement!!!! Thanks again, Linda B.
Please keep sharing your life ! Proud of you!
Wow!!! Just wow… You are over 10,000 subscribers!!! Congratulations!!! You know the butterfly is a symbol of rain no went well I feel like when you're in a depression you're in a cocoon just like the Catapillar… We are all turning into butterflies… We are all your little butterflies. I hope that cleaning that bathroom does not have you broke down. You can do it!!! Just keep doing a little at a time. Love from one of your little butterflies. Have a blessed day I will be praying for you that you can handle everything and that you will be physically mentally
Hello! I just found you today, and am going through your videos. Thank you for sharing, it is true this can help many people who are in similar conditions, be it through physical/emotional/mental illness, or any number of reasons....Same here, very difficult period that has lasted forever and more, this helps. Keeping it real, and seeing you able to help yourself and change things is truly inspiring and motivating. thank you, send you a big hug
I love your sense of humor....you are quietly hilarious!
I'm so happy for you, sweet lady. Good for you! You seem very intelligent. Thanks for sharing!!
lol I love the subtitles during the videos, they always make me laugh!
First off, you have beautiful penmanship! Its elegant. Second of all Im new to your channel but am enjoying it. You are so encouraging and gentle. I think you are so wise to make the lists and tackle it in baby-steps. Ive dealt with anxiety and bad depression in my past and it takes a great deal of strength to even get to a place where dealing with life is possible. Way to go! Keep on keeping on.
I can't believe how much you've achieved! You sound happy too! 😊
As we get older,things get harder, I do it for discipline,, or I will not do it ,beautiful son. What a help,🤗🌹
I just found your channel & I've been watching all your videos! I love cleaning videos, but a lot of times their houses already look perfect. Your videos are really motivating & so down to earth. I love seeing that other people, besides myself, don't always have a spotless house. And that's okay.
I love your attitude. I completely understand what it's like to "wake up" from a long period of depression and face the long process of gaining your life back. The hardest part is getting started, and you're doing great!
I have a housecleaning and decluttering company in Ontario, Canada that is focused on helping those who struggle with mental health. I just stumbled across your channel and I'm so thrilled and honoured that you let us take part in your journey.
Congratulations on your growth, progress and all those subscribers. YOU are helping to remove the stigma that is attached to mental illness with your honesty and willingness to let us all follow you along.
God bless you! 💜💝💜
thumbs up !!! hugs from michigan
You have great handwriting!
Thank you!
I love how you've organized your lists to keep on track. Also a beautiful gift your son has given you. I look forward to more of your videos.
Thank you!! The lists really did help keep me on track! The boy has definitely made up for all the times I had to ground him when he was younger. He won't let me ground him now. lol Thanks for watching!!
So happy for you, that was a great gift from your son. Praise God for our children :) tell him thanks for helping you.
Wasn't it an awesome gift!! I guess I didn't break him after all. lol Thank you for watching!!
I am a new subscriber, you sure are very motivating. Keep it up, your doing great. That is so nice that your son is doing that for you, no matter what it is. Thats a good son. I love your notebook idea.
Your son loves you and I am not surprised!!!
Your handwriting is beautiful! Your way of listing what really needs to be cleaned is a great idea too. I often find that I try to tackle things to quickly or tackle something too big and then I end up just not doing it, or only getting halfway through it, which usually leaves a bigger mess. Anyways, just wanted to say that I'm rooting for you!
Thank you. I tend to feel guilty if I can't do everything I want to do at once. It used to take me a couple hours to clean the whole kitchen, now I have to sit down every 15 minutes. So, everything gets away from me because I just figure "what does it matter". So, you have inspired me to see that doing a little bit at a time does add up.
Your handwriting (cursive) is absolutely beautiful!!
I love the bring the pride back but the EWWW away cracked me up. I also love your coffee table and would love to know how it was done. I have to do a little then sit awhile. You have a wonderful kid! Continue to celebrate you.
You have beautiful penmanship. I pride myself on mine also, Daddy always said its the first thing your noted for, well that was when I was in school, then looking for jobs. A very very long time ago.
Now for that list,what about delegating him to clean the garage. Take care of the trash for year. Mummy, will let you know if I think of anything else. BOW your awesome keep up w/ all your great work & positively.
That is a great gift idea from your son. I am a big fan of "doing gifts" rather than buying "stuff" like your son offered (walk together at a nice park, cooking a meal together, sight seeing, family picture etc) unless it is a sentimental thing. Otherwise, its clutter.
I love your videos so much, please keep making them!
It's good having a list, that way you can see how many things you checked off already. I'm pretty sure it makes you feel good to see how much you have done so far. you have done a great job!
Congratulations!!! You are over 9000 subscribers!!! Also you are over 200,000 total views!!! But remember what I said yesterday… Don't let all of this overwhelm you… Make sure you take long breaks after you do your cleaning. And take care yourself…
Such a sweet gift!! How lovely of him . I've been loving your videos since finding your channel about a fortnight ago and I'm hooked! Keep up the amazing work 😊
I hope you had a fantastic Mother's Day and Birthday. Sending you hugs.
Love your humor
Your bedroom video showed up in my feed today. Yay! I love how real you are, and enjoy the voiceover. Thank you for reviewing your notebook. Breaking it down really helps. I, too, get caught up in one area, and lose momentum. Good enough is good enough is an excellent slogan! Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
I'm so happy to have found these videos today. I subscribed after seeing just one, which happened to be cleaning the kitchen. YOU are so me; wanting things organized and perfect that you spend too much time on one thing, making lists (though i like the way you have done yours), and liking butterflies. Thanks again for your amazing videos and cat
I'm so so proud of you. I wish we were neighbors I'd love to come over and help you. So you could rest a bit. Lord bless you ❤😊
I'll put the coffee on....or tea if you prefer. I do know how to boil water. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
What beautiful writing! Congrats on the great gift.
Thank you!! I loved the gift!
Sweet son!
Absolutely fell in love with your videos! I discovered you at 2am last night and couldnt stop watching. I smiled the entire time watching you achieve so much. Way to go. And PLEASE dont stop making videos!!! Xoxo
Another great video! Not boring at all. We all need people to talk to, even if they aren't really 'there'. You are inspiring so many. Myself included. The list is wonderful. You're doing a great job. Super proud of you! Peace. ~Lisa
Great job, I've just found you too and I've seen most of your videos today. I really enjoy seeing the before and after. I'm a boarded line hoarder. I call it recycling. But I recycle more than I need. Seeing your list has given me a few ideas. Thanks for being you and Thanks even more for being the New you.
Hi. I'm almost 62 years old. My house has suddenly turned into a wreck, too. I've struggled with employment and I wouldn't admit it......depression
..until I saw your video. I theoretically 'live by myself' in a small 3 bedroom apartment in the bottom of a 2 family home in a bad part of the city. I can't afford at this time to move. Even tho I live by myself, my daughter's furniture and possessions are still here taking up muchneeded space. Between unstable full time and part time jobs, her moving an and out, arguements, and the last (cherry on top) 3rd shift job......my home is cluttered, dirty and a mess. I am struggling to get control of my home also. Thank you for sharing. It helps me. just last week, I tore out the wall to wall carpeting out of the living room; moved the furniture at, had Direct TV. installed. Now, I have pikes of everything moved to pull out the carpet. I am holding off sorting and organizing cuz I need to 'bomb' my house from attic to basement. The last tenant that lived upstairs brought in roaches. she's has been gone, the apartment has been empty for months. I have put out traps and different methods to kill them . They are minimal but I want ALL of them dead...eggs and all. So, this is what I am preparing for today so I can set off the bombs tomorrow. The 3 Rd shift job made everything worst. I stuck it out for 4 months. All I did was work, sleep or not sleep enough, then walked around in a daze. All I managed was washing dishes or clothes once in awhile. So, thank you for having the 'balls' to post your videos. I feel better. I was feeling overwhelmed. WE got this!!!
NOT 3 bedroom..a very small 2 bedroom apartment.
You are so right!! We DO have this!! A little bit at a time. Good luck to you. I really hope things turn around for you!
i might steal that system for my academic & life planning stuff! lists have been the only thing that enables me to do things for a while because of depression and anxiety but i like the idea of having those immediate/intermediate/long term goals & a section for 'ask for help' (something i notoriously struggle with). keep up the good work!
I love the way your lists are laid out!
Sending much love and healing prayers.
I'm another you are helping! After watching your kitchen video, I did 1 load of dishes, put half away (hubby did other half while I did our kids hair) and have another load of dishes from bedroom and lounge room soaking in hot bubbly water to do in half an hour or so. GRRR to my husband who cooked himself dinner and made more dishes inc. ones I had just washed haha I struggle when people have things like 'wipe down skirting boards', 'clean light switches', 'disinfect door handles', 'clean top of the fridge' down on their task list - my aim is to have the house at a standard where I'm not mortified at the thought of people dropping in and where my inlaws can come over to babysit instead of us having to take the kids to their house. Imagine being able to have a handyman come over without a week of rushed and stressed cleaning (and hiding things in bedrooms!). One day our houses WILL be at that standard and THEN we can add in one crazy task (from above) a week.
Hi New Subscriber also hope you dont mind me borrowing the notebook idea that is very smart of you and remember the house didn't get messy in one day Hope to see more videos of you 😺
Your list is very helpful. I too suffer from depression and I am having a hard time starting again. I'm so glad I found your videos today I'm going to ungross my bedroom! No more excuses!!!
I know that while I work having a radio on and listening to music I love, really helps me along. I have to set a timer to let myself relax, or I will over-do it and then spend days in bed recovering. So, music...and a timer. And I LOVE your lists and I'm working on mine right now!
That's awesome!! The lists and narrowing my focus really helped me a lot.
You are helping so many of us. Thank you. ❤
That makes me so happy! Thank you!!
Bringing your pride back. I love that goal!!!! Progress not perfection. Cheering you on. Hope to join you soon. BInge watching your videos.🏵🏵🏵
From your intro, "how lucky are you?" VERY LUCKY! Your honest, real videos are inspiring me so much. I'm struggling with health issues and have let everything just fall apart. Thank you so very much. I'm laughing and crying over here. * bring my pride back* yes, that. That I need.
You're an inspiration! Thanks for sharing yourself, your lists, and your process... It's wonderful to see the progress you're making.
Liked the last three, subscribed, and am binge watching to catch up to where you are now.
LOL...... love your way of thinking.
I love the way you take an enormous job and break it down into doable steps! Starting my lists today! Thank you.
Love your sense of humor!
It's great that you realize when you have extended yourself and that it's time for a period of rest and recharge yourself. I think that you used your rest period very well by talking about what you need and want to do. Giving of time is the most amazing gift that anyone can give another person. The fact that your son offered to do a list of things is fabulous.
Thank you!! That's one thing I learned the hard way, knowing my limits. Over-doing it tends to land me in the hospital, and I'm trying my best to avoid that nonsense. lol And I agree with you. My son's gift was perfect!! Especially with my new goals and starting this channel. Thank you again!!
Sorry the phone cut me off on that other message. I will be praying that you were mentally physically and emotionally strong… And you can do anything. You were a butterfly… You have a new wife you are no longer a Catapillar hiding in a cocoon. Love you have a blessed day
Wow!! This is such an amazing comment!! Thank you thank you!! I woke up from a nap to 10k+ !!!! I can't believe it!! Thank you!!
I'm in the same boat. It also started 17 yrs ago when my mother died suddenly (she was only 60yrs) and my health declined. I am a perfectionist too. I hope you realize how truly inspiring you are to me (and those like me/us). Keep up the great work! You are in my prayers girl! Thanks again! Blessings...
Thank you for the videos. I relate to many of your issues. Cleaning is good therapy and journaling as well.I am very happy when I can say something is done. Bless you and your son.
You have beautiful handwriting.
You are a lucky lady that you have a son to help, my two boys leave far away, I love all that you have accomplished.
Thank you so much. I am lucky he's such a good person......if you don't mind a little bit of mommy bragging. :) Thanks for watching!
Your son's gift is adorable. How kind and very sweet of him. Great watching you. xxxx
Thank you!! I think I'll keep him. :D
hi there just wanted to say what a wonderful job you're doing and how great it is that your son is able to be a blessing to you keep up the good work take care
Hi.
THANK YOU for describing how you differentiate between the basics vs needs. As someone mentioned below, it's frustrating watching young things clean a room that is cleaner BEFORE they start than my apartment will ever be.
If I follow your lead and look at a room identifying the basics rather than EVERYTHING that needs to be done it might not seem overwhelming!
Keep up the good work and for sharing with your cheering section.
I hope it helps you. It helped me. Before I'd get so overwhelmed thinking about having to clean the drawer under the oven and the inside of the trash can and and and that just clearing the counters and washing the dishes seemed pointless. And just more effort than it was worth because I was fixated on EVERYthing that was needed. Concentrating on just the basics really helped a lot. Thanks so much for watching and for commenting!!
I just love your lists..I do one but not to this extent...now..redo my list..in a more productive way. Checking things of..even the smallest of tasks,counts!!! Love seeing the "done"check marks...sweet!!!!!!!
Yes, what is the deal with drawers and closets that were once relatively organized and now seem to have exploded? You are doing a fantastic job. Love your sense of humor.
What a great gift.🌺
I'm SO thankful for YT recommending your videos! I'm currently going through physical pain. due to weigh issues which caused a deep depression/demotivation. You're videos are really helping me out. Thank you ❤
Good for your son. Great gift❤❤
