    Today I am sharing how I get things done with simple habits that work! Lately I have felt a little overwhelmed with everything going on in life. Luckily I have some easy routines and habits that I do every day to keep me on track even when life gets a little crazy. Whether it's starting the day with a quick plan or dedicating just five minutes to a task, I’ve learned that the key to productivity is building momentum with habits that I can stick to. Thank you so much for joining me today! I hope you have a wonderful week =)

    I don’t like clutter around me, but I sometimes have a project or two going on which causes piles to go through. I try not to let these projects go on for days. Daily: I clean up as I go when cooking, and leave kitchen (prep areas and stove) clean. Go through mail right away. Fold and put away laundry right out of dryer. Put things where they belong.

  • @ucfhillcollege8296
    @ucfhillcollege8296 Місяць тому +4

    A load of laundry start to finish 6 days a week. Dishes done and kitchen clean up every day. Thirty minutes of cleaning/decluttering of another area.. Thirty minutes of reading. Life is easy when these are done.

  • @lindaroyal8161

    Things I do every single day - dishes, I don't have a dishwasher and don't want one. Make my bed and scoop out both litter boxes. Take care of inside and outside pets, feeding and fresh water.
    You seem to get a lot done, but you have more going on with young kids, a husband, business, etc.

    Shannon I really like your videos. I feel like I have learned alot from you. The 2 things I tried to do everyday is to make sure the kitchen is kept clean and clothes are washed, dried and put away. I had knee replacement a month ago and it was really hard not to be able to do things and rely on my husband. I'm finally getting back to doing more things. Dianna

    Since I’ve started earnestly on this decluttering journey since July and I’m still shocked at what I willingly let go of, I have hoarder tendencies, my home is looking more like someone cares, I’m doing 1 load a washing a day instead of leaving it till the end of the week. Even doing my tea dishes every night is so much easier than leaving them, all of a sudden you have pile of dishes the next day and don’t want to face them. I’m really enjoying my decluttered and don’t want to see it refilled with clutter

    Hey Shannon, I think it's really great that you've been milling your own bread. I've been making no knead homemade bread for a few months now & when I had my dough spill over at the beginning it was because the dough was a little too wet, which also results in a moister loaf. It looked great though & if it tastes good then it really doesn't matter ❤️

    • @shannontorrens1
      @shannontorrens1  Місяць тому +1

      Thank you for pointing that out! I think that is what happened. In this case, do you just add more flour?

    • @rebeccasaunders2657
      @rebeccasaunders2657 Місяць тому +3

      Hey Shannon, you're very welcome, yes that's what I did & it seemed to work. I just try & make sure the amount of flour I use is correct as I think my scales were out when that happened & also that I don't add too much water to the flour/yeast mix. Ideally you want the dough to not be too sloppy or sticky, be able to easily handle tit & not feel like it's too wet to pick up out of a bowl. I'm no expert but I make bread every couple of days & it's really easy & always comes out great! I hope this helps 👍😊

  • @arlineswardson6012
    @arlineswardson6012 Місяць тому +7

    #1 habit is “just do the dishes “. Learned this from Dana. Also, I like to measure flour by grams for baked things because I find that measuring with standard cups can vary in weight and not be consistent. I tweak my recipes and make a note so that they come out the same each time. I don’t make bread but for muffins, waffles and other baked things, I find it really helpful. Thanks for the video, Shannon!💕
