Thank You! I was just thinking towards the end of the video that it would be nice if she would wrap it up with this very thing on the screen while sge concludes her segment.
YES! I agree with all your students that you’re a wonderful teacher! It was clear & to the point. I measured a drawer while you talked & now need to find containers that will fit so I can make homes for all the homeless stuff. 🥰
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You won't believe it but I have been thinking about organizing one of my drawers and I just didn't know where to start so this is the perfect video for me right now!!! You explained it really well!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Cas!!!!
Hello Cass, you do great in explaining your organizing system to us n I understand you completely each n every time...so please give yourself more credit...Tfs...take care n God bless...🌿💖🌿...
I gotta ask… why is there nail polish remover and rubbing alcohol in your craft drawer? 🤔 Otherwise, I LOVE your videos!! Thank you for sharing your experience and expertise and ideas with us. I even have my teen watching so she can find her own organizing type and love her room.
You ARE a teacher but even the greatest teacher cannot teach a subject he/she doesn’t know and understand. You are awesome and amazing at teaching organization and home decor as attested by almost half a million - HALF A MILLION - subscribers AND your own TV show! 😃💝💝💝
Cas, you're great at teaching what you know. Many of us are learning so much from you every time we watch one of your videos! Your personality, demeanor, and honesty are a pleasure. Keep being yourself. Accept and love yourself for who you are! We do :-)
You do NOT suck at teaching! I was watching this and like, omg she is so enjoyable to watch. She makes it so easy! You are so personable and kind about it too 🤍
I'm learning heaps from you, so you're definitely doing something right! Your content is interesting, but also, it's about keeping your audience engaged and you definitely do that very well, so thumbs up to you!👍
Cass, this video is so practical for me. The demonstration was excellent. I never knew you should have the containers fit in the area first. This is a light bulb moment. Thank you! You are an excellent teacher!
I am a teacher and teaching my kids during lockdown is not the same as teaching a whole class of children. It drives me crazy. Not the learning part but the meetings and the not-working- computers 🤯. Thanks for giving me some more inspiration 🙏❤.
That's how I feel with doing a couple college classes online 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I'm somewhat tech savvy, as well, so if I'm frustrated I really do blame the OS of anything lol! Then I'll go to work..where the register system is literally over 20 years old 😂😂
Well, this short little video actually helped me realize one of my mistakes - that I’m organizing for my items, not for the space. 🤯 So clearly you are a great teacher! You are also adorable. Thank you for your work!
All teachers - if they’re honest - will admit that teaching ONE of your own is SO much harder than teaching 50-you’re-not-related-to ! Sending so much love and luck from A UK 🇬🇧 Primary teacher who is beautifully taught every week by you. Thank you.
I'm in the "take your house back" class. Thank you so, so much for explaining the difference between being a micro sorter or macro sorter. I never realized there was nothing wrong with me if I didn't organize in such (what I considered) an anal manner. The class has been wonderful👏🏻
Just what I needed to get more motivated today! I like to micro organize and forget that the system doesn't have to be perfect at first. Love the designated basket idea!! I understood you perfectly 👌 😁. Thanks for making these videos.

Cas, you’re explaining organizing verbally while physically demonstrating it. This type of teaching is easy for most any kind of learner. Most people don’t learn by just reading, we might memorize “facts” but after the test, it’s next to impossible for most people to retrieve that information from the brain much later on. However when you watch someone do something and hear them explain it as you/they DO it’s appealing to a kinesthetic, and auditory learner at the same time. The more senses one can use while learning how to do something the better their chance of remembering, and success in repeating it later. So maybe you’re not a math teacher but you’re still a successful teacher in you’re own speciality, organizational skills. Trust me when I say there are lots of school teachers who are great at their craft but not great organizers. Some can do both but not all. Yet all those skills are valuable.
Cass, I love these tips and suggestions! My daughter started watching your videos (she's 37) and since she's my organizing child, she insisted that I watch you too! You make is seem so matter-of-fact that I can do it too!! Thank you!
Thank you for this video Cass! You are a great teacher, just not in the traditional way, which is awesome. You know your stuff and this video is very helpful 💗
Organizing tip for stickers… I’ve used 2 different methods. Again, follow the first rule…if you are not using them, declutter & donate! But if you do use and want to keep stickers, I either use an accordion file folder and label each tab by season/category/theme/color, or use a 3 ring binder and sheet protectors! This has helped keeping them organized and easy to sort through, and I find we actually use them because we can actually find them!
I did do one cabinet in my room after I watched one of your videos. It looks great and I couldn't believe how much I had in there. Now everything is neat and separated and fit.
I so appreciate the tips, especially from someone else with ADHD. I'm in Alberta and also doing online schooling right now. I only have one kindergartener, so theoretically that's even easier than schooling multiple kids and older kids.... but I feel you.
I’ve been doing things wrong for years-no wonder I have to keep organizing!! Get containers for your space!! 💡💡💡!! I’ve always been trying to fit my things to the space!! Thank you-I needed this video!!
Here's a laugh for you. I had my phone propped against the wall on my bed watching the end. All of a sudden my cat starts attacking my phone. She saw your strings dangling from your shirt. Haha 😄
Cass. I really enjoyed watching this video. I like how you break things down into steps. Many times I even write notes on paper while watching. Thanks for the tips!🤗💖 and motivation!
Give yourself more credit, you are such a pleasant & fun person! We all feel the same as you do sometimes, it helps us appreciate and grow. Thank you today, for bringing us great content and inspiration.
I have just started watching you. This video is going to help me a lot! Sorting containers that don't have to be your permanent containers for the space is a great idea. I love the cabinets in your space. Did you put those in? Where did you find them?
Hi. The elimination step is hardest for me. My Dad was a product of the Great Depression, and he drilled into me to value EVERYTHING I have and not waste anything, so it is just about impossible for me to let anything go. And yes, I have too much stuff and some days feel very overwhelmed. I keep trying to part with some of it, but always end up taking it back out of the donate box.
I just love how Dana's influence has made your approach more useful and for a wider audience 😀! Watching this video for 2nd time. Enjoyed the Take Back Your House all day declutter last weekend. Cas, Dawn & Dana - y'all rock!
Youre great at teaching when you can pre record things and you know what you want to say. Dealing in real time with another small human and trying to teach is a whole different thing!
That how my husband felt about me, before the mimi- stroke. I look back an I was able to do so much. He met me when,I was a single mother of two extremely well behaving children 7 and 10 years old. So he thought that we could have 5 with his help they would also be well behave children. Nobody. Our first one Now 16, counted for 5 children; he made messes and noise for 5 little regrets. And our Wonderful last one counts for 7 little ones. In 2 children her has enough trouble to count for a dozen children. He says that the youngest one broke me, she is now 10 and still a handful. So all together we have only 4 children that at times have counted for 12. Before my min-stroke I have an easier time, they though I was a Super MoM. My youngest claims that I still have Super Mom Powers, I broke when she was only 5. She doesn't really know what it is to have you mom chase you at the park, one that I was sitting in the sand. I miss being completely healthy; Both physically and mentally, though I am wiser. We do Love you very much, Your hyperness brings me 😂joy and memories of playing with my 3 older children. Thank you for sharing. I am also going to Thank God for the gift that you bring. Thank you again 💓💖.
@@victoriaoliver9958 Thank you. I am blessed because my older children try to compensate my youngest by playing, and giving her extra help with H.W. They try to make time to give some of what they had extra from me. So, my older children are spoiling the younger ones. I enjoy seeing them play as if they were all in the same group age. My oldest is about 18 years older than my youngest yet, they ajust because of the LOVE they share.
Cassandra, you are so gifted and I literally use your RU-vid as my decluttering course on going! I'm so proud your Canadian and I can't wait to read your book about personality types! Hey definitely add your own personal bio to your about section! We would love to learn more about you! P.s. you look freaking amazing, girl! 👌💕
Lol you got me laughing at the "squirrel!" part, lol!👍😁🤣 That's me too. We have wild bunnies outside and it sure doesn't help me when I'm trying to teach my kids (1st yr homeschooler, lol) and I'm like, "Ohhh look a super cute bunny!!" Lol!🤣🤣🤣
This is actually one of the most helpful videos I've watched on organizing! I am not more confused, I am more certain of actionable steps I can take to get started. Thanks so much!
I'd love all the stuff you give away....your stickers are great for Journaling and making cards. Whenever I see your junk piles I think I'd love to have your junk 😃
"I'm keeping it out of guilt".... Wow! That hits home for me. Also thank you for that intermediate step of the white boxes and setting up the space first. I've been trying in vein for years to be organized and failing spectacularly. It's because I'm trying to make my space fit my things instead of making my things fit the space. It's so simple but embarrassing that I never though like that. I mean, I literally bought four huge 6' cube cases from Ikea before.
Love your posts! I do great purging and organizing ( then you for the guidance), but always end up with a big pile of stuff (usually in the dining room) doesn't have a home... And I can't find a place to put it.
I plan on using some cardboard boxes to use what I have on hand. For someone who is trying to organize the bins make sense but for someone like me who is trying to declutter more bins feels like it would be more clutter. . I will probably get real bins once I declutter everything. 😏😏
You are a great teacher, able to apply to real situations that everyone can relate to and you are so humble. Thank you for continuing to teach, share, encourage and inspire all the hot messes out there to keep at it💖
My house was always a heaving mess. Working as a nurse and raising 2 kids with my husband in a house that's not even 1000 square foot was always a struggle to make my house a priority. Thanks to you I am getting there. My utility room got sorted Saturday and it looks amazing. Thank you for the motivation, you are wonderful!
I ve been watching your videos for years and it really seems to me that you keep buying stuff you don’t really need so you end up decluttering, purging and donating., Do you really need SO much ribbon? Have you ever calculated the money wasted? Or how it could have been used more effectively?
Thank you so much for this video Cas! Your step to have containers ready to sort is so smart! I feel that this has been a missing step in my prior attempts to get organized!
Thanks Cas! Love your videos! My life is getting better by the day!!! I feel like this is a huge part of self care!!! Everything looks awesome when it's done, the character moment in decluttering and organizing are so Worth it! You are super talented!!! No worries on the kids home schooling.... You teach them and us REAL life survival skills, that give us peace and freedom!! Love & hugs to you!
You ARE an amazing teacher! Your explanations make perfect sense and you educate us in a way that works for everyone. Please don't put yourself down. Your fans won't allow it. We love you. ❤
I always love the last bit of Cas' videos. Cas, I am a teacher. Trust me when I say I also sometimes have those moments when the ideas in my head "don't come out of my face." I love your content and for me YOU ARE my Organizing Teacher. Have a nice day!
Cas, Thank you so much for the collab w Clutterfree Jan. Most of all thank you for the Take Back Your House course! I have learned so much from you all (Dawn, Minimal Mom and Dana wSlobComesClean) You all are an amazing package of knowledge and help. Thank you for the clutterbug perspective. It was the three of you that helped me the most in past year and then I find out you collaborated on a course! I had just had to sign up! By the way, I am a teacher. Thank you for your kind words but remember we all learn from each other; I've learned so much from your gifts and talents. Thank you!
You're right, I really struggle with what containers do i need. Having various sizes to 'size' up a drawer really helped me out and moved me on to the next step. It also makes it easier to shop for the more expensive ones I wanted for the space without having to run back to return/exchange containers.
Math is the worst!! Seems ridiculous that we can't understand elementary school math, but it's like it changed, and it's not the way we learned back in the way. I do feel for teachers though, especially if they have kids themselves - they have their classroom to teach, plus be there for their own kids and their online learning! Eek. ;)
Loved this! Make space for the area not the stuff - yes!! Something I am slowly learning. Also as a teacher I think you are a great teacher of organizing and the fact that you are helping your kids is a win already and that they are encouraged to do work :)
Loved make space for the area not the stuff. I'm moving to a SMALL (FOR ME) SPACE & have been a little bit freaked out about the lack of kitchen space/storage. It's just me, but I liked a lot of kitchen items. Purging is hard because I want to have a lot of kitchen items, dishes, pots & pans, bakeware, glasses, cups.
You are a teacher, a different one. You teach adults who by the way go to class because they really want to be there. Also, you make your class digital. You organize, summarize and explain each thing you want to communicate. You give the theory (cluterbug types, tendencies, personalities in relation to organization), then you explain how to apply that in different scenarios. You even discuss possible errors and exceptions.
Thank you Cass! I have been trying to find my mojo back to reorganize and declutter my home and I found it in this video!! I think you did a good job explaining it plus you provided us with a printable. I mean that is a bonus. 🥰
You can also have a small box/container to put in things that need to find a home. Once it's full or once a week or once a day, set a timer for 5 or 10 or 15 min and "blitz" the stuff where it needs to go....I just find this helps with "decision fatigue" and also means that you're organizing sessions can be super short, but sweet. Honestly, i have my donate and recycling boxes in my car, so i can empty most of the stuff from my little box AND it's already in the car...so, fewer steps too... Love your channel. 💖 from B.C.
" ... organize for your space not your 'stuff'" This is life changing for me! Cas, you're a blessing in the midst of chaos. I'm so glad to have discovered you.
Hey Cass. ...I enjoy watching you guide and mentor for organising ....declutter ...minimise ....my home...... You are very good at what you do.....your kid's school subject may not be your forte. ....but this channel is....it's YOU 💕
I have learned SO much from you! Maybe I have a squirrel brain too and we connect that way...🤣...okay weird! But SERIOUSLY... I was JUST thinking as I was watching your video...this is why I love Cas so much...she’s SO good at showing me how to organize (get bins to fit the space not bins to fit the stuff 🤯💗). You’re AWESOME!!
"And what doesn't fit...too bad...organize for the space that you have today" -My mind is blown !!!! That is AMAZING ADVICE!!! I am so nervous to try. Will report back. Thank you for sharing!!
Girl......omgawd.......you are a great teacher!!!! Why do you think I keep coming back to watch you?! The funny stories at the end is just the cherry on the GIANT cake of organizational masterfulness!!!!!!
I also like the idea of having a 'use it or lose it' bin!! It helps take away the guilt because I'm giving myself a chance to use it before discarding or donating something...
I once asked my 3 year old son when he went to the zoo ,with his uncle,if he enjoyed himself. He vehemently said NO! I was shocked. However my father laughed and asked him if he had a good time at the zoo. My son answered yes. He loved it! I learned then that with children, sometimes you have to change the words to ones they understand. It was a good lesson. Think about it. What did enjoyed mean? What did mom think he had done to himself? I have a million words to say the same thing depending on the age of the person I am speaking to. You have to be taught to be a teacher. You are lovely! Don't stop being you, not for anyone or anything. Also, I would like you to convey my gratitude to you husband for being there for you. You have a good one there!! Love you!
I cannot believe how word for word you just described my remote schooling experience!!!Although no spit on the laptop but had to replace a shattered laptop!Ive got 12 kids, 6 school aged and every single one of them is so difficult!And why cant they understand the words that are COMING OUT OF OUR MOUTHS??! SO I've also had many a meltdowns, BAD ONES!!! Every time I talk to one of our teachers I tell them how much respect I have for them because it is hard work!! ♡
Cass, This video had an ad for Learn Do Become STEP program. Do you know anything positive or negative about this course? Is it worth $397 for Mastery and $197 for Self Study? I couldn't find any reviews online.
your system is form over function. example: I need tape in several areas in my house. I don't want to have to run to another part of the house to get tape because I've put all the tape together in the craft room. Your method will not STAY organized. Things will not get put back. YOUR SYSTEM WILL NOT WORK IN THE LONG HAUL
