*To all the dreamers out there, don't ever let the world's negativity disenchant you or your spirit. If you surround yourself with love and right people, ANYTHING is possible...*
Treating cleaning like a self-care activity has been a game changer for me. Making it more fun (music, comfy outfit, etc.). and then actively working on saying things like "I am grateful to have a space that is my own and I deserve to have a clean, peaceful environment"
Great tools to reset- tackling one thing at a time/day. Everything doesn’t need to be done all at once. (That’s how I personally get overwhelmed and just end up not doing anything!)
I watched this video when it first came out, but felt unsure of what to comment because I didn't feel like I was able to just jump into organizing things. I rewatched today to check back in, and realized that bit by bit I've been taking care of organizing my space. Repainted my bedroom, wiped my baseboards, and finally let go of a lot of (expired!) makeup and skincare that I've been storing for years. Decluttering and refreshing my spaces feels so good!
So grateful for this challenge, thank you for brightening up the dull anticipation of doing the things I've been putting off for so long. I live on a narrowboat and the clutter has been getting me down. Now I have a plan. Thank you Jules for putting together the Notion templates and for the little things you do to soften the overwhelm of de-cluttering, cue ambient music, beautiful cosy vibes and coffee!
There are so many things I didn't think of doing that would make everything around me feel so much more organized and clean and will most definitely be doing!
I am probably going to need the whole week to tackle all of this. I downsized 1000 sqft a few months ago and even though I got rid of a lot, my space is still so cluttered and I haven't even truly finished unpacking. But this challenge is the push I need to get this done!
The Nomad life makes it hard for us to reset a home right now but I saved this one so I can take actionable steps when we do move in somewhere in the spring! Thank you, Jules!
I started cleaning out my bedroom to make it Is a lot less cluttered to help with my anxiety and free my mind it has made such a difference now I'm deep cleaning it and I bought a Plant to purify my room
I checked out your plan, among others, and this is the one I am sticking with. 😊 It is simple and concise, with easy explanations from you. Thank you so much for providing this tool. My house is already better, today, I do not feel overwhelmed, and it is leaving me time for myself. Looking forward to the next four weeks.
My pain point was definitely my closet and all the beautiful clothes that I love but just don’t wear. I got a thred up label and said thank you and goodbye and now when I open my closet I just see things I WEAR and love and it feels so much better. Thanks for the inspo ✨
I have been cleaning and reorganizing like crazy these past 2 days because of this video. I'm already starting to feel so much better! Cant wait for the other videos to help me keep going.
I just found your channel as I was browsing for a life reset for the new year. I really love how intentional you are. I have also fallen off the yoga train (for quite a while now) and sometimes just use my mat to lay on the floor lol My plan is to adopt incremental positive changes over the course of the year, especially intentions that I have been putting off or never commit to. I find that I have been choosing to stay stagnant by warping my definition of 'self-care,' and in 2022, self-care --for me-- will be more like allowing myself to invest in myself :)
Your videos are always so inspiring! I'm moving from Hawaii to Utah in 2 months and this video inspired me to start pulling everything out and purge! I want my new place to look as clean and organized as your place!
Loved this episode! My favorite take away is the "set the tone" of your spaces! I was so happy to hear this and to get inspired for how I want to shift the areas in my home to be more in alignment with what I'm hoping for this year. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love the idea of placing things in strategic locations as a reminder to incorporate them into your day! I am trying to incorporate more yoga in 2022 as well!
Found you from this video and now I'm OBSESSED with your content! Love your energy, your mindset, and all of your great ideas! Also THANK YOU for the idea of tackling pain points -- those little inconveniences and irritations really add up. Excited to reset my space so it makes me feel energized instead of draining me :)
I love this. This is so much more than the fad of minimalism for the sake of minimalism that's crazy busy on RU-vid right now. This puts it all in a bigger, more meaningful perspective.
I love how simply beautiful life can be by doing little things that feel so good and how when you are consist they start to change your life. Going to do some tidy up right now :)
Cleaning fast is a great tip, and also a really good form of light cardio depending on what you’re cleaning. Your house gets clean while your body gets moving, I love it!
I love your videos, just found your page since on new years I was in cleaning mood and saw this video but never replied, I appreciate your videos and all your best advices and how to stay organize and how you help us with tidying up, organizing, decluttering which I have been searching ways to do so and you have helped me:)
This was just what I needed on New Year’s Day! Happy 2022 Jules & Chaos to Calm crew. I’ll be honest - I got a head start yesterday with the bathroom and worked on the kitchen today. Went to target because I knew it in my heart I needed to bin things up. It’s already so much better, but I’ll admit I’m exhausted and need another day to tackle the living room and bedroom. I live in a tiny Brooklyn apartment, and yet my life is crammed in here - especially due to pandemic. Gave me so much joy to declutter what was taking space and do a proper deep clean. My word for 2022 is “committed” and I’m so excited to stay true to myself and my goals. Thanks so much for leading the way, Jules! x
I immediately subscribed to your channel after watching this. I really need to reset my routines lately and good thing there is this challenge in which I can accomplish to help me.
I’ve just been dealing with my current home situation because it works, but I’ve been realizing that I need a change and to reset my space for my mind and needs. This is such an inspiration to do that. 💕
Oooh I did a bit of this right before the New Year since I didn't want to bring some of the pain points I sorted out into 2022 with me - like the clutter underneath my bathroom sink! I am going to do more of this intentional cleaning and organizing this week, thanks Jules!
Jules, I have had a HARD time since starting a new job *and* moving in July. I feel like I've just been dragging myself along, but your videos have helped me so, so much in the past couple of weeks! I finally have started to build a foundation that it seems like I can maintain. So thank you. :)
I just started watching your videos and I love them so much! I love your outlook on life and the way you organize everything. I'm excited to get into this challenge!
I've been slowly decluttering and cleaning my place since the new years but I like the ideas you put in the video! Cleaning as fast as you can with good music 😂 random but - seeing that pilia makes me really want to propagate the second one in the pot!
This week of the challenge is totally my self-care when life gets to be too much and I need some space in every way (mentally, physically, emotionally). I love your language around pain points; I've never known how to explain my cleaning/overhaul sprees! Also I TOTALLY do this suitcase thing! It really makes seasonal changes feel more defined, both in my wardrobe and in life😊
I love the idea of this challenge. My goal in 2022 is to begin my journey toward minimalism. Your home is so peaceful and calm Jules. I hope through these challenges I can work a little bit closer to a minimalist lifestyle. Happy Chaos to Calm babes! ✨
I always start with my physical space to start a reset. Thanks for the reminder to take some time to slow down and find some calm in the chaos. I LOVED your idea on the pain spots. I never realized that my reorganizing habits always circulate pain spots.
First time to your channel and I LOVE this video I didnt realize how much taking time to reset with things in my home that make me feel dirty without realizing it! Something I'm going to do as well once a week after cleaning my space
Yes! This sparked me to do some deep cleaning and minimizing! I am an international teacher, so moving is a normal part of my life. I try to minimize what I accumulate to make moving so much easier. I've started going though each room to analyze what I love and why I love it so that I can find new homes or purposes for everything else. Thank you!
I am in Disney World this week, so not getting to do this challenge until I get back, but this video has me so excited to start! I love the idea of pain points-taking a mental walk through my house this week and making a list to tackle when I get home. Thank you, Jules!
Loved this! Esp love the tip to go fast as U can with music, and your examples of singling out pain points with intention are so helpful as starting points (like the seasonal edit of closet into an empty suitcase). I am now excited to tackle my crazy mug cabinet too! 🍵☕️🫖
This was the push I needed! I’ve had a very hard time trying to organize my stuff after moving into my partner’s home almost two years ago. My stuff was still sitting in totes and not being able to use certain things. I was finally able to get my stuff out of the totes and getting rooms set up the way I’ve wanted them. I finally have a guest room and a separate office. It feels so great! Thank you for this video!
I've been slowly working through week one's notion checklist and it is so relieving to find and solve all the small problems in my home that I didn't realize would make such a difference when they are finally solved. It helps to feel like things are running just slightly more smoothly in my home and helps my life feel like it's running more smoothly as well. When you don't think about the issues, you tend to overlook things because you see them every day. Starting this challenge is just what I needed coming into the new year!
Really good ideas. I have some health issues so I can't do quite as much as you do, however easy does it and your videos do give me motivation to get up and do what I can.
So excited for this! Working on reseting our home this week. I love the idea about making healthy habits we want to develop accessible!! Always learning from you, Jules! Thank you
I love this video. It makes tidying seem a lot less stressful. I inherited my house about a year ago, and there’s still a lot of stuff from the previous owner cluttering up spaces, and I’d love to finally clean and get rid of things.
Happy New Year! I had the exact same idea to declutter my space before I start the new year with other projects! 🤍 enjoyed watching and gave me motivation to start!
I love the idea of setting the tone of a home because I think it totally changes with different seasons of life and of the year! These steps are so practical and reflect how talented and helpful you are in living intentionally. I'm excited to start brainstorming how I can set up my environment to follow through with the habits I want to implement in my daily routine!
your channel has been such a grounding place for me. i've started reflecting on my life because of your videos. i was introduced to your content by the life audit video i was recommended on my feed and ever since then ive loved to see everything youve created. excited to learn and grow alongside you
Happy new year! Excited to refresh my space and tackle some projects I’ve been dragging my feet on…ready to be more intentional about creating spaces that invite the calm and rest I need in 2022!
So excited for this challenge! While I'm sipping my coffee this morning, I'm looking around my space and seeing what needs cleaning out and what needs to be switched around to really open this year up for me. I'll report more in vibely 😊
this was so refreshing. My kitchen has been bugging me for weeks and it is a major pain point for me and my partner! I am so inspired by your space to Marie Kondo my kitchen! I finished 2021 using her method to clear out every room except the kitchen space! The time is now :) thanks for the inspo!
Ahh yes setting up your yoga mat in the spare room is such a great idea! We just moved and I know I want to set up a meditation space and have been itching to keep my yoga mat out, and now I have a great idea where to do that ☺️
