There were some good ideas in here. I am not a Cricket, but I love the idea of the organized spices. So 12 years ago, a friend started teaching me how to knit a sock but I moved and didn't have a pattern so I stored it away. I am happy to report I have picked it back up and I am almost done with it. I did have to watch a million youtube videos and read many patterns to figure out how to proceed but I almost have one sock. Who knows, I may have a pair in another 12 years.

On the one hand - spices organized that way look nice. On the other - jars in various shapes help find the spice much quicker than labels, and if you use one spice more often that the others the bigger jar is more convinient that uniformized jar and a bag in the pantry.

I found out at 37 I have ADHD pretty bad in Nov. The grief of what my life could have been like if I knew earlier was pretty rough for a month. But then I did the thing we're great at and learned everything I could. My family has gotten behind me and after watching a bunch of your videos we have spent the entire month of January decluttering every area of my homestead. Went minimalist in every area I could and made every item in my home have a home. I am finishing the kitchen today and then for the first time in my life I will have a clean organized house and the habits started to keep it that way. I was able to quit my job in September to focus on our homestead and woodworking and I plan on starting a channel about homesteading as a Neural divergent and I have a clean slate to work from. My brain has never been free of guilt or stuff I should be doing to be a good mom. I'm also an addict coming up on my 10 years clean. Thank you for putting out the videos about adhd they have meant a lot. Your story of your husband finding all of your dirty dishes meant a lot to me to know im not the only one.

Adopt a one in one out policy to keep the items manageable. Imagine that peace of mind you will have once everything has a home and fits your space. GOD bless you in your journey🙏.

The bad thing about decanting your groceries is that the package volume is always bigger than a container volume. So you've got leftovers. Lots of them. Sometiimes it's just a couple of tablespoons, but you can't throw them out, you can't use them all just now and you have to store them somewhere (and try not to forget about them).

Okay, about alphabetizing spices. I read eons ago where an author (it was a library book) said it sounds silly or OCD or whatever but it makes sense! Many spices look similar so keeping them in alpha order means you don't end up with thyme when you wanted oregano or have to pick up several jars to find the right one. If you keep them arranged on a shelf or in a drawer (my latest win!) there's a hole where you took it out, so it's a 2 second win to put it back where it came from!

That's how I sewed an entire crib set and bumper years ago for my daughter. Some days I only cut out one small piece or sewed one seam, but other days I had the time and energy to do a whole lot. It was the daily commitment to it that did the trick and helped me not feel overwhelmed like I would if I'd tried to do it all at once. That way I didn't feel bad if I only did one tiny thing because I was still accomplishing my goal of doing something each day. Best of luck to you in your writing!

When you get a refill, just put the old marked lid on the new bottle. On pain relievers/allergy/etc bottles, I put the # of tablets and how often (4x6 hrs). Let’s face it. The directions on the bottle labels are so tiny, you need a microscope to read them.

Yer hilarious!! I can’t wait to hear that your book is finished! I picked up a tip somewhere about choosing one hobby (preferably one you’ve been putting off) to work on each month to actually complete SOMEthing. That way, you get at least 12 finished projects by the end of the year, and you learn more about the hobbies you actually want to continue pursuing vs. the ones that you’re done with. Last month for me… it was Macramé!! I totally finished a hanging cat bed as well as two plant holders! This month, I’m supposed to be finishing up some of the wool appliqué projects I have lying around… but it’s already a week in and I’ve yet to pull it out. 😬😳 Thanks for the giggles and great organizing ideas!

Love to hear your intention to finish your novel. I realize this is 10 months after posting this video but wanted to share one of the things I’ve used to help me with my own writing, is writing 500 words or half an hour whichever comes first. No editing, editing comes when the first draft of the novel is done. If you’ve already finished, maybe you can try it for novel number 2. All the best!

Wow my fantasy self got excited knowing that I will do something one day ... Good luck on completing your novel. Thank you so much for making it real, my head has always been a mumble jumble of what I'm going to do, I try to compartmentalise and make a list but then I just stare at it and do nothing. After seeing this vid I think the kitchen is what I'll try work on. Thank you Cass x

I had that same problem with my new kitchen and decided to add small shelves to the counter tops. One is for small appliances that are put together. Another two small shelf units were added to the sides of the stove to use vertical space with a narrow counter space on each side of the stove. Since I didn't have upper cabinets added for a wall of windows that I wanted I had to downsize my dishes to shelves also. That was easy because now they can be seen and easily reached for. Just try to go vertical as much as you can 🥫.

After reading the comments, I must make one more. I've recently found out I'm an older adult and always had ADHD, I'm undiagnosed, they just didn't catch that sort of thing back in the day. With cleaning, I just never caught up, but with the new method I've started, I am starting to make much much more progress!!! I have limited time because I work alot so that has a lot to do with it, but ADHD means that I get distracted and I get overwhelmed easily. I set a timer, and I concentrate on one room and only that one room, with a list of stuff I can do (it's really never the same - I try to pick the item that I haven't done for awhile) - my list looks like this: sweep floor, mop floor, dust, declutter two areas in the room. I never get the WHOLE list done, but I take notes and next time I hit the areas I didn't get to last time. I used to only do ONE room per day, but I've added items like: "Catch up straightening one area" for those areas that I am missing. I've also added another catagory "Start or work on ONE project in the project pile". I keep a project pile in one spot, and there is only room enough for about 7-8 small projects. If there is no room, my bargain with myself is one project has to go for me to keep the project in my hand. I have purged quite a few projects that way, because honestly, when am I going to get to the other 7-8? It will take me a year to get to those and complete them. So every time I find a new project, IT'S DECISION TIME. I'm still finding old projects tucked away and or in boxes. My future self is pissed off at my past self. Her lazy butt is going to have a beatdown.

Their new kitchen looks so pretty! I really liked how you set up their pantry with the black storage containers with white labels. It just looks so classy. I’m also totally like you in the sense I live in a fantasy land myself of all the things that I “want to do” but reality hits me everyday when I remember that I’m a mother of 3 boys 4 and under. Fantasy me is definitely on the back burner these days. However, also why I’m watching your videos! Because I suck at storage solutions for these boys!! And myself! But mostly the boys with their clothes and toys. I’ve learned some already from you that I didn’t know. Your kid videos have been so helpful!! Thank you! Also I took your quiz a week or so ago and found out I’m a ladybug too! Although I think I might have some cricket tendencies because I kinda like to organize down to the minute things BUT usually I don’t have time to organize that way. Then whenever I do organize that way someone in the house destroys my organization and then it’s just makes me mad. So I think that the ladybug solution for the “family” is probably more practical especially now when the boys are so little. Enjoying your videos!! Keep them up 😊 btw I’m sure you have saved more marriages than you realize with you teaching these techniques. 😉

There is no under sink cabinet in my house…kitchen/bath/laundry that has not been equipped with a pullout drawer, that, yes, is fashioned around whatever pipes are there. For years I was fed up with the aggravation of under sink storage. So years ago I demanded…yes demanded, under sink pullouts. Now, it’s easy access to everything!!!!👍🏻 after the staircase pantry, an under sink pullout should be a breeze for your dad!!!!😉

I have been following you for years and I've done all of the quizzes and looking at the "What is your style" videos and was convinced I was a unicorn. I believed that I was a bit of every type! Until this video. Hug and thank your parents for me because seeing how they had the pantry and cabinets before you got in there to make it extra nice, their style was me! I'm a CRICKET! Now to pull everything out and make it as awesome as you have. Let your parents know that I also think they did a great job on that remodel! Beautiful! Thank you Cas!!! And I want to read your novel. My fantasy self accomplishment is to have a sewing room. Pretty and tidy and a dream to work in. Keep on keeping on!

I'm so glad to see white appliances if your dad's and stepmom's kitchen, I'm 73 and I've had avocado, harvest gold, copper tone, almond, black, and black and white kitchen appliances, but my favorite is white, easy to keep clean, it doesn't show fingerprints like stainless, and it takes me back to my mom's kitchen with all white appliances. I'm Swedish Death Cleaning now, I took a three-ring binder and I write down what items I use every day, by the end of the six months I'm only keeping the items on the list, everything else is going to a hospice thrift store.

You're the funniest, Cas! Love your end stories - I have a new violin sitting in the corner of my bedroom since 2020, and this is the month I will be playing it. Otherwise, it's going! My goal is Twinkle Twinkle by the end of the month, and if that happens, I will see if I will continue or not. (I also have a book to finish writing! But one fantasy at a time.) Your folks' kitchen looks amazing! Your dad did a spectacular job, and I am sure they will love your organization. I'm a bee with cricket tendencies, and I think my pantry is organized, but now I want a lazy susan and some boxes. Such great ideas, thanks!

Fantasy me has all these puzzles I want to have the space and time to work on with hubby & kiddos. Also, several crochet projects for fmaily members. (This one I am actually making progress on. Not in time for my sister-in-laws birthday this month, but definitely by Christmas since I'm over halfway done). Now, I'm 5mo pregnant with little #3! I discovered the Minimal Mom who mentioned you and what's your clutterbug style (I'm a bee through and through but hubby is a butterfly - which I'm discovering I can work with). So nesting is hitting me hard and I'm making more progress than I have in YEARS! I LOVE you and your energy and videos and stories! It's so wonderful to know I am not alone and I now give myself grace and forgiveness and know it's ok to let things go. They're just things and not as important as time with my family. I appreciate you and Dawn so much. Thank you again!

Omg. You nailed us crickets. They told me I was crazy. I guess so. 😂😂 That was so satisfying to watch. Lol. Just delicious. Decanting. Yes. Labels. Yes. Color matching. Yes. Visually appealing. Yes. Lol. Fantasy self is a great cook like my grandma. She is so comfy with all things food and cooking. So easy for her. Not. Lol. I just want the cooking/food struggles I have to be a non issue anymore. Or at least severely reduce the “what to eat today” brain drain struggles I have with it. But damned straight, my kitchen is gonna be pretty no matter if I starve to death. Lol.
