I have three tips: I marked my blankets and bedspread with a marker to show where the top and bottom center mark is and where the top and bottom corner edges are. This saves me from walking around and around the bed trying to get them straight on the bed. They are straight immediately the first time. Because the top sheet is folded over the blanket, the marks at the top don't show, and because the bedspread is over the foot of the blanket the marks don't show. And because the quilt has a pattern, the little black dots I put at the head and foot don't show. This has been such a time saver! I also used the clear plastic boxes spinach, mushrooms, and cookies come in to help me organize my drawers! I love those cookie trays! Perfect for holding toothbrush and paste, deodorant, etc. Why spend more money when I have already paid for that container and brot it into my house? Try it! I also saved the cardboard tubes from paper towels and fold plastic bags into balls and stuff them into the tubes. I have two tubes in the car and pull out or blow out the plastic bags and hang them over the stick shift so I can put trash in there. Keeps my car clean! I also put those balled-up plastic bags in the foot of all my waste baskets and pull one out to use to line the waste basket as needed. The replacement is right there!

I have a time-saving tip: Buy sheets with a stripe or directional pattern on them (I like damask stripe), and you won't have to spend five minutes wrestling with the sheets trying to figure out which end goes where when you're putting them back on after washing.

I barely iron anymore: tip from my mum: if there are any shirts in my wash load, I set the spinning speed to low (400 rpm), take out the shirts that would normally require ironing, hand them up on hangers, and spin the rest of the laundry at 800 rpm. The shirts that are still quite wet when hung up, dry without wrinkles thanks to this trick.
@thebeaside
@thebeaside 2 года назад
I just stopped caring about being wrinkly. I hang everything up on hangers and they dry fine and I can hang them right up in the closet. I just embrace the creased linen look and basically only iron if I’m going to a wedding or when I’m sewing to get nice seams. I’m a pretty casual person and I wear hospital scrubs at work so it’s never a problem.

These are great hacks! I even remember some of them from your older videos! However there are 2 that I won't do: voice command everything, and steaming clothes. I get better and faster results ironing than steaming, I can usually leave my ironing board set up in guest room, and it takes just as much time to plug in an iron (and set up the board) as it does to fill and set up a steamer. I am averse to devices that do voice command, simply because it means they are always listening. All it takes is the wrong people to be in power and suddenly your privacy is nonexistent. We still use smart plugs because they're great for scheduling things like Christmas lights.

These could be for specific recipes or certain situations. Leftover food traces from when you scrubbed for half an hour and did your best but traces are still there can't be good for you, either. Do your homework and find what works for you. Overcooking/burning food is so bad for you, for example. Cas is a VERY busy human. I see why she wants to save time wherever possible.

Late to the conversation, but slow cookers are best used on a lower heat for longer. However I wouldn't like the plastic waste. I find if I put the Croc pot straight into soak ( once I have plated up) it is a breeze to clean.

The problem with slow cooker liners, parchment paper, and paper plates is not that they are lazy, they are so wasteful! Why make more trash? They make silicone baking mats you can use instead of parchment paper. They are easy to clean and you don't have to scrub the pan. Now, do I never use these single-use items, no. For recipes I know are particularly stubborn to clean, I'll use a slow cooker liner. If I'm broiling, my silicone mats can't be used at that temperature, so I'll use parchment paper. Using these things every time you cook, or recommending people have a paper plate night once a week creates so much extra trash over time.

I butter my crock pot before I put the ingredients into it. Likewise, I butter my Pyrex pans before putting the food into them, too. Okay, you got me, I use margarine, not butter, I can't afford butter. Forgive the use of a term my grandmothers used and I never let go of. But food is SO much easier to wash off the crock or the pans that way! I don't have a dishwasher. So I fill the pans with hot soapy water and put them to the side; by the time I've washed the plates, cups/glasses, and silverware, the pans are ready to wash with half the effort. Yes, I love the ease of paper plates and plastic silverware, foil pans for food prep, oh boy!! But those are for when my kids all come home once a month for family dinner, so I can spend my time enjoying them instead of cleaning up. My way won't be right for everybody, but it is right for me 😊 If it helps you, so much the better.

I really appreciate a lot of these tips and tricks, but I do wonder how much of the mental load your partner shares in, and how you divvied up the housework/chores if you are both working fulltime jobs? I have been trying to get better at housekeeping and decluttering, and I just keep noticing that in general a lot of the content about decluttering is specifically aimed at women, and hardly ever touches upon the (usually male) partner doing their share. They either get chores delegated to them, or are discussed as a clueless bystander, keeping the mental load firmly with one person in the relationship. This isn’t a specific criticism of this channel because life and relationships are full of intricacies that the casual viewer isn’t always privy to. It’s just something I noticed only a small handful of cleaning/organising/decluttering channels pay attention to in their overall content, and it makes me wonder if we/women are aware of that, and what we could do to come to a more balanced share of both the mental and physical parts of managing a household.

Love the tip about laundry. We do the same and I realized it was much easier. We have 3 daughters, so sorting between similar clothes wasn't fun. We decided they would each have their own hamper, and voila! For our groceries, we use an app called BRING! You can click off the item once you picked it up at the grocery. My husband or whoever you share the app with can add to the list. It's fantastic! I don't know how shopping online saves you time. I tried online groceries and it took me a little over an hour (ok, maybe the 2nd time it's faster?), and anything else, I always have to look for items I don't really need to get to the free shipping (which I avoid since decluttering) - or I get overwhelmed by the amount of choice and can't decide which item is the best.

I have also gotten rid of nearly everything that would be considered a 'light' except for some socks. Which are the invisible socks, so I don't even care if they get weird colored. As a single person doing just my laundry, I can do just one load every ten or so days when I run out of workout clothes

Hello fresh has changed my life! I really hate to cook. And shop. And meal plan. (My poor family) I have 2 teenagers at home and a husband who can eat an obnoxious amount of food. So when I get my box I do a Walmart order to add extra ingredients (that are on the recipe) to bulk up the meals, like green peppers, onions, cauliflower, etc. just pick up my order and done. Everyone loves the recipes and I don’t have to think (stress) about it. The portions are fine for me so if you have a “normal” family 🤪 no extra is needed. And thanks for all your content. It gives me some motivation when I have none.

Some great tips Cas....but the Smart tech is not for me....too much control out of my tiny hands! And as for Amazon....I used to use them a lot until I realised how much they have monopolised online shopping at the expense of independent physical and online retailers, many of whom were forced to close for ever in 2020 or 2021. So I have decreased my shopping at Amazon drastically and don’t miss it! Bond villain, ha ha!

Only thing that worked for us was ever since the kids got old enough, we each do our own laundry. I do still sort, but I have small stackable hampers so I sort as I take them off and throw them in. The kids and hubs prefer one hamper each and they do their own so it works.

I love that your video has so many practical tips that are easy to implement. 10 tips every week are taken and used almost immediately. A little more environmentally conscious would be great addition. Things like paper plates are a monster land filler and sorry, but the teacher in me says that shoe laces are a thing kids need. Too many visual training skills there..

I didn't say to not teach kids to tie, but that elastic shoelaces are a time saver and are safer as they won't come untied and trip our precious little ones. :) Also, I'm not sure what paper plates you're buying, but there are eco friendly options available. www.amazon.com/utensils-Biodegradable-Disposable-Dinnerware-Compostable/dp/B082MZFGT7/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=3K9XST20XLFS1&keywords=eco+friendly+paper+plates&qid=1645419594&sprefix=eco+friendly+paper%2Caps%2C106&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEySUpDUkVOM0tPUjhQJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjQ1Nzk0NzdRS1dSOTJaUlcwJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAyOTkxODUzM0E5T0RCT1lDUFpSJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

I don't know how it is in Canada, but in our area of the United States (Minnesota), the majority of the houses go on the market in spring and summer. That way people can move into a district as school is ending or before the new year begins. So it could be just the time of year for you. Or it could be that you are cheap. :)

Thank you for those cool hacks, I have written down 11 that I will do my best to implement. Please consider stop using the plastic liners for cooking. Plastics release chemicals, specially at higher temperatures. This chemicals not only produce greenhouse gases but also chemicals that are known to be hormonal disruptors. The studies in the last one are still on-going but it is a risk that you are taking.

I enjoyed this video. Plan to Eat is an app like your meal planning binder, but even more time saving. You can add all your favorite recipes and lots more quickly, drag and drop them onto the menu then build your grocery list from there. You can easily scale recipes. I have added a weekly menu that includes things like which kids has dish duty each day and “recipes” for things to buy every week. I can add things with Siri. When I go shopping, I just check things off and my list gets shorter and shorter. Best of all is that all my family members have the app so they can add things, stop at the store for me, and cook dinner since they have the recipes. I could go on and on.

Because honestly I'm overwhelmed. I have lupus and I have to work a lot I work 5 days a week and on my off days I try to put all my doctor's appointments on one day but it doesn't always work. Sometimes I just have to cancel my appointments that week because I'm just too tired. Not only that during my covid recovery I was so stressed out from calling out of work it just made me more exhausted it is 9:09 p.m. right now and I need to be to work for 4:00 a.m. and I have indigestion and I'm not feeling good still. I did a load of laundry tonight made supper with leftovers and threw a load in the dishwasher. But I still have so much to do. So tell me how can I organize a home that is so cluttered when I work such long days and I'm so tired. It wouldn't matter if I lived in an apartment or a condo. Please tell me I'm not being sarcastic I'm begging you with all my heart and all my soul.
