Anyone else notice that Cas has been wearing the colors for the specific insect she's doing the video on? (Green cricket, yellow bee, etc.) Super cute, Cas!
This series is saving my sanity...because NOW I understand my spouse (and children) and can have more grace for their organizing style instead of just insisting everyone is slobs because they don't follow MY organizing style. I will definitely teach my children this before they get married. Thank you, Cass!
I’m a bee and my parents and aunts always thought I was a slob too 😅 it feels so attacking because I literally want things to be meticulous, I just struggle to create the system that is perfect enough.
I'm a bee with a touch of lady bug, and my live-in boyfriend is a slobby butterfly.... its... been a process. And I definitely 'wait to do it later' with too much stuff.
I'm definitely a bee/cricket mix. I like everything out of sight because I get way too visually stimulated and distracted if stuff is visible everywhere. But if it's out of sight, it's out of mind! I've found that clear containers or shallow containers behind closed doors (cupboards, closets, etc.) has been the best solution. No open shelving for me haha
Me too - bee/ cricket mix. I don’t know like to see all my things visually i like hidden storage but out of sight out of mind. So in my pantry i like using clear containers and bins
These comments are so interesting to me because I am definitely "out of sight, out of mind" but I worry about my home looking cluttery. I've tested as a Butterfly and a Bee, but I like the calmness of Ladybug and sometimes Cricket styles. Sometimes Cricket is a little too sterile for me, but I LOVE how a pristine countertop looks in the kitchen. I'm beginning to think some areas of my home, like the living room, I would like to be less visually stimulating and other areas, like the bathroom, need to be quick access and visual, like Butterfly. I also hate dusting, so I thought I was some kind of genius when I took all my special items that I had all over the living room and put them in one tall, easy to clean, glass curio cabinet, lol!
@@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane I've definitely found there are a few places in my home where having some stuff visible on the counter is necessary. The bathroom is one (for skincare items) and my dresser is another (jewelry and essential oils I use in a diffuser). I've figured out how to limit them to only the items I used every single day, and I have some sort of tray or unit that holds the items so they have a "home." I have limited storage in these rooms so I had to figure what what I could handle having visible all the time haha. I do also have decorative stuff on my coffee table and stuff, and I keep my electric water kettle on the kitchen counter because I use that thing multiple times a day! It really is so individualized and I love seeing/hearing how other people have done it in their own spaces!
@@DrCarolynTheLibrarian I have this constant fight between wanting everything out where I can seeee because out of sight is out of mind (butterfly...) but having a low tolerance for visual mental load (...and a little ladybug). and one of the tricks that works for me is decanting stuff like hand and dish soaps and even some skin care into plain but pretty containers with ZERO ADVERTISING or even brand names on them. Still visible, still nice to look at, but not chattering at me. And your idea to zone things is brilliant. Here I can have stuff visible; here I can have stuff hidden. I love it!
As a Bee, that thought my ideal self was a cricket, I so appreciate all your insights and humor! I realize I actually get excited seeing the Bee Inspo and it’s exactly what I truly crave! Also as a Bee that puts her phone in her bra, or pocket, or waistband, I’m constantly feeling up and down my body to try to remember where I last put it! Out of sight, it’s gone forever! Sigh… But a massive hit of the feels and dopamine when I do find it! Thank you always for these! Now, where to start? Ahhhh
I know right!!! I've also always thought being a cricket was The way to be, but then just never used things I had stored away and piled things on every surface for "no reason"... This organising style idea has been so freeing and inspiring!!
As a bee I felt really called out, hit the nail on the head with that one. About 5 years ago I decluttered (ie: threw away, donated or sold) SO many different items of clothes, and random stuff I’ve had laying around.. waiting for that perfect project or I could use it later. And again last year I went in my storage room and threw out a bunch of things I hadn’t looked at in years. It was freeing and really stressful at the same time.
Omg. THANK YOU CASS. This video has me in tears. Rarely have I ever felt so understood. Couple these troubles with chronic health issues and more often than not I feel decluttering is near impossible. Organizing is a dream. And decorating, well that will be icing on the cake. Treading water most of the time at best. I am a Bee and I think my husband is a Butterfly. Thank you for creating Clutterbug. It gives me hope. And I am pretty sure you have helped millions around the world. Lots of Love ♥️and Light 💫 being sent your way! xo Danelle
Can totally relate to the missing phone only i was missing my baby! I was panicking, asking my other children where he was when one told me, “Look down, Mom. You’re nursing him.” Yeah, I get you, Cas. Totally. 🥰
This series has been amazing and a real eye opener and you give me motivation every time I watch any of your videos! Your whole presentation style is just friendly, motivational, and helpful! Thank you for all you do to help us all Cas!! Oh, and your stories!! It's nice to see you're "real" and not afraid to share, and please know, you are NOT alone! We ALL have embarrassing stories, ours just aren't on RU-vid! This one though, Cas I was literally LOL!! 🤣 Only because I've done something similar, more than once!! I've been going crazy, trying to get out the door with my kids, scrambling and looking for my phone so we can go, all the while... I'm TALKING on it!!! 🤣🤣 YES!! MORE than once I've done it too!! 🤣🤣 Overly stressed much?! 🤣 Thank you for keeping it real!!!!!!!!!! 💜
I’m loving this series Cas, thank you! 👙 📱 Funny story and yes… I USED to be a phone tucker…. Until it rang one day when I was in the check out at a grocery store….. i was wearing a dress & I had not tucked it securely and it had slipped in too far to reach down in for it but it was too high up to retrieve it from the bottom. I tried to ignore it, but the person calling kept calling back, again & again so finally I just wiggled it down and reached underneath my dress and grabbed it. Who was calling???! My husband, making sure I didn’t forget to stop at the store!😂 last time I carried it there!
Yes! When I de-clitter. If I pock ip an empty container, I will ask myself if it will work well as storage for something else before I toss it. I've just gotten better at letting it go right away most times if it's not a hard "yes"
I could cry right now. I'm 57yo, and for years I've felt like I was a disorganized, hopeless mess who had OCD!! YOU have set me free from those lies, and I praise God I found you a couple of weeks ago! I have been slaying dragons all over my house, and am LOVING my home for the first time in years! THANK you for what you do, Cas. You totally rock!
I lost my phone while I was talking on it... My friend on the other end asked me what I was doing? When I said I was looking for my phone she just started laughing... I am also really enjoying this series. Thank you for all you do for us 🙂
I am so much a BEE that I almost felt as if you had a camera in my house and took pictures. I am sitting in a craft room where I now have my computer too. It is full of jewelry making stuff, sewing stuff and painting stuff. I have a muffin tin in the living room with nails and screws in it, and next to it are the little containers that will eventually hold them. I didn't even by them, they were my dad's. But you never know when you will need to fix something. My hallway has open shelves holding see through plastic containers holding legumes, rices, and whole grains. On the other side of that hallway is another cabinet, with doors, that holds large bags of legumes, rices, and whole grains. That's my overflow because you never know if prices on food will ever come down to a reasonable price again, and they last forever. And, yes, I eat this kind of stuff EVERY DAY. I've been decluttering for over a full year. But I still have two full sheds that I can't walk in, not to mention a full single car garage that I can't walk more than 5 feet into before I have to start tip toeing over large items. I took over the house my parents lived in when I was born, in which they lived in their whole marriage in 1952. There is a 30 foot model train track in the attic. I have no plans to remove it, even if I sell the house. It might be impossible to dismantle it. I'm going to keep decluttering until I can walk into the sheds, and the garage and utilize them properly. By that I mean a few bins for Christmas decorations, surplus toilet paper, and fluids for the lawn mower and the car. I figure that might take until about 2026. I do Flylady system and I am following her pretty much to the letter. My biggest problem is that I love everything I own, I have used almost everything I own within the last year, and about 95% of the time, if I held up an item in question, yes I would buy it again. I did watch, and learn from, a video on Swedish Death Cleaning. That woke me up to reality. I now know that I can't hold on to items just because I use them, love them and would buy them again. I'm decluttering with the goal of only keeping the best quality items, even if those were bought by my mother. If anyone has read this message this far, I want to say I love Cass and I have learned a lot from her and I'm so very glad that she understands the different styles of organizing and decorating. The happiest thought I had after watching her talk about Bees, is that I'm not alone as a Bee. There are many more like me. To those Bees I say don't give up. My house is looking clean and getting more organized every day.
I love your post. Im a bee too. We bought my mother-in-laws house 15 yrs ago with all of the stuff in it including a train set in the attic that hasnt been touched! I finally had enough of living with too much stuff and am enlisting my husbands help to start letting go. We both feel bad about letting go of useful things. Thank you Cass! I also love the minimalist mom.
" My biggest problem is that I love everything I own, I have used almost everything I own within the last year, and about 95% of the time, if I held up an item in question, yes I would buy it again. I did watch, and learn from, a video on Swedish Death Cleaning. That woke me up to reality. I now know that I can't hold on to items just because I use them, love them and would buy them again." This is exactly like me, the only things that I tend to regret and wouldn't buy again are ironically related to storage solutions not working out *perfectly* but getting rid of those before buying something better would be counter productive. Death cleaning is probably so good for us Bees because it helps us to rationally weigh in more factors for why one should or shouldn't keep/collect an item and widen the perspective.
It sounds like I need to watch a video on Swedish Death Cleaning. I'm trying to clean up the office my mother had before she got dementia 13 years ago. I took care of her all that time and never had time to go through everything. Now she's gone and it's super hard to part with any of her stuff, because it reminds me of her and she was everything to me. My best friend. But, at the same time, I sure don't want my neice and nephew to have to go through all of it when I'm gone. It's not easy, but it helps to know there are other bees busily working on decluttering too and to have Cass cheering us on.
So, I only recently found your youtube channel. I was looking for other people that have gone through bariatric surgery and what to expect (I will be doing rny in a couple of months). Your personality was just so infectious and relatable that I decided to subscribe - not realizing the wealth of organizational knowledge I was in store for! I'm actually excited about organizing my home again thanks to you. Even my husband peaks over my shoulder when I watch you because he likes your ideas! We both took your quiz this week and turns out we are both BEES! LOL So I am very appreciative of this and just wanted to share how much I have fallen in love with your content!
Hi, my name is Jill. And I'm a Bee. I never knew what my organization style was, but it really thrived while working as an office secretary because I HAD to have a very well-organized, visual system for the office supplies. A file room full of real files (properly organized) was divine to me. I even took on tedious organization projects that made my coworkers' routines stupid simple once I showed it to them. Which is odd, because I wanted everything hid away so I can have a clutter-free visual field ... but I need to use things everyday, so stuff is always out. At least knowing what I am on the organization scale helps me in coming to terms with bringing my Bee style to my home. Thanks, Cass. 💜
@@thatswhatisaid8908 Yep. It's the fantasy "perfect" me that wants stuff hidden away, but I function better with visual categories. When you find your morning hygiene items lined up on the counter every day rather than shoved into a drawer, you just have to accept what you really are.
I was a legal secretary, mainly conveyancing, so had to be super organised. It was the 80s/90s and the fledgling internet days (dial up) so paper files ruled and OMG were my files organised. And woe betide anyone, bosses included, who messed them up especially if they just used the hole punch willy nilly, they had to be done just right so all the pages lined up perfectly. With parents who had a home based accountancy practice and my legal background a filing cabinet just makes sense to me but must be labelled and organised.
Haha! I laughed out loud at sorting screws - I spent a whole afternoon sorting the odd screws in my basement into a nice clear compartment box! Bee is me!
Love these! I've learned my style and my husband's style from all of your content. Can you PLEASE do a series on combing styles for partners? My husband is for sure a bee and I'm a lady bug....complete opposites as far as organizing goes!
Cas, that storage you speak of at the end, I call that my “knocker locker”. 😂 You are so inspiring. Thank you for your wisdom and thanks for the belly laughs at the end. I wish you lived next door to me. You’d be the best and funnest friend ever, I’m convinced.
”It’s okay to toss your cords” - instantly screaming here noooooope 😂😂😂 Coming from a bee with a cord tray in which there are separate clear containers for each cord. Having a macro base (cords tray) and detailed micro-organized system (separate containers) is a brain-saver for a bee. My mum is a ladybug and as a child I kept organizing her baskets 😂😂 - and she kept forgetting my organizing ”rules”. Now I live with a bee husband and we understand our systems perfectly 😂😂 But seriously, this is a big game-changer when you realize that there are four different styles and when you know your own style. Thank you Cas!
🐝 🐝 🐝 I have been looking forward to this video! I am a total bee! It is such a help to finally understand why I do the things I do! And it make such a difference to not only understand but to be able to now work within those tendencies! It helps explain why in the past when I would try to put things away (in closed storage) I would just end up with piles later! Also, it explains why I hold on to so much. I have trying to embrace decluttering a lot more. It hard but so worth it. When I am able to finally let something go and make space for the things I actually use/love it is such a freeing feeling! The biggest lesson I have leant is that no matter what you do, you can’t make it look pretty if you have too much stuff!
Wow, this video made me realize that I am a bee. Your test has me as a cricket and I immediately agreed since visual clutter stresses me out. But watching this video made me realize, that it only does when it actually is clutter that should have been decluttered or when my everyday items are not categorized. I struggled so much with decluttering for so long - it really helped me to add the decluttering question "do I want to manage this inventory" from the minimal mom. But I NEED my everyday items visual and accessible. In their categories - I even sort our toddler's playfood by food groups, including separating fruits and vegetables in separate baskets 😆 My husband is a butterfly and of course so is our toddler. Our solution is baskets everywhere. No lids and either shallow or see-through. This way my family can just dump everything in the baskets and still see everything. However, I also have small baskets and containers inside the bigger baskets to follow my inner bee without them having to go by my crazy many categories 😊
Ahhh, the baskets within baskets so they can dump but you can go in and micro organize later... I do this too 😂We have a basket of overflow dental supplies, so when the dentist sends us home with new stuff, everyone just dumps it in the basket... and then when I put mine away, I tidy it up and organize by brushes, paste, floss, and expiry dates. The solid container hides the mess while I can't get to it (except from the open top), but the shallowness means that even if I don't get to it others can still find things within the macro category (and it's not overwhelming if I haven't gotten to it for a while). Finding systems that work for everyone has been so helpful.
Cas, you always crack me up. My hubby is a Bee on steroids! Can never let anything go, hyper organized, but what really got me laughing… the cords. OMG! The cords! They must be wrapped ‘just so’ and is teaching our young adult sons how to do it properly. I sincerely want to thank you again for all you have taught me over the years. As a Cricket, I do tend to get hung up on perfection. I’ve adapted some ladybug tips to help in some areas and to work with the different styles in my home (we have one of each organization style). The cloth/box style containers help me and my ladybug son not get overwhelmed with visual clutter and the open tops make it easier for my bee hubby and butterfly son to see what’s inside.
omg I don't know how you handle a bee as a cricket.. my husband and I are the same (him a bee, me a cricket) and I've learned that the only way I can keep thing organized the way I like is to have less things so they are not cluttering my visual space... he does not like to let go of things and is very visual so it's been a real struggle trying to organize our house.
@@giorgi2389 He’s pretty good at keeping all his visual stuff in his office. I get very overwhelmed going in there though with all the stuff on his walls and open shelving that display his treasures. We have been married over 30 years and have found ways to compromise like the pretty storage boxes with no lids. Not as much visual clutter for me and he can peek in to find what he needs. The only place that bothers me are the kitchen counters. I would prefer everything put away, and he would prefer everything out. So we compromise and he keeps his most used items out and I make sure they match and look good so that it doesn’t bother me too much. I really wish he would let me put the dish drainer away though. lol
@@barbborja1910 Yuck! The dreaded dish drainer/strainer. No idea why, but it took me an embarrassing amount of years to realize I was not required to leave it out. Eventually, I donated it and haven’t looked back. Praying for you 😉❤️🙏🏻
I have bee waiting for this one! Thank you so much!!! Love the yellow sweater for us bees! Also, yes I put my phone in my boob. I blame my clothes for not having pockets. Im changing that but its a slow process
Same. When if I tailor myself or take it somewhere, that is the request, functional pocket! I bring a pant that has the right size pockets with me to show them.
I’m a bee. I feel like you’ve just seen inside my soul. I’ve done a massive declutter the past 2 years, it was so hard but I’m so glad I did it. Thanks for all the tips. 💜
Thank you for sharing your embarrassing moments!! I was once at a park with my 4 children and I had literally just introduced myself and started talking to a lady about our kids. We were both in deep conversation but also both standing right by the swings with the kids, keeping an eye, of course! Suddenly, I don't see my daughter and start freaking out yelling her name and asking her siblings where she was. My oldest son says, "Mom, you're holding her". My goodness, she was so well behaved and quiet, I didn't realize she was! Needless to say, me and the lady didn't socialize again after that ! 😅😳
I did the same thing at a shopping mall. Complete panic that I couldn’t find my son, then realized I was holding him on my hip. And he never made a sound through the whole thing!!! 😂
Love your yellow cardigan! Your videos are both relatable and informative. The four organizing styles is a great idea! I am a butterfly, but I think I also like some of the ladybug ideas. I have been watching PlanwithLaken and Tattooed Teacher Plans monthly goal setting videos here on RU-vid, which makes be think maybe you could apply these styles to goal setting, too! For example, exercise Monday and Friday or just exercise 2 days a week. Also would love if you did collab video with Jessica from How to ADHD! Thanks for your wonderful videos!
I’m definitely a bee. I’ve told my husband so many times. I don’t want a closet in my sewing room. Things will just go in there and be forever forgotten. So, all organized and easy to reach and visible. But disorganized and clutter sap my creativity.
I LOVE the Home Edit and I relate to hoarders in a lot of ways… I actually grew up around several and I’m sure that contributed to some of my struggles. Decluttering is hard for me (I’m making a lot of progress though!) but I felt so called out in most of this video. Even about the cords! LMAO I bought reusable zip ties and started wrapping them all up perfectly to sort them away but I gave up on it for awhile so my cords have been in a massive pile in the living room 😅 it’s like I do SO well when systems are in place but I struggle to have the time and patience to begin the systems... or I can’t find containers or something that are good enough for my system. No wonder people have The Home Edit do it for them… I wish they’d help me out lmao. But any bees or butterflies out there listen up! I bought black steel pipes and created a double bar stand up closet for my clothes and that is the BEST change I’ve ever made in my home! If you’re not a bee/butterfly that might sound ridiculous. But visualizing my clothes and being able to just hang things right up is SO perfect for me. For the first time in my life I’ve been keeping up on my laundry. Nothing stays in clothes baskets because it’s so easy to hang it right back up! No clothes on the floor, chair, etc. I don’t have to go searching for something to wear. I used to fold things Marie Kondo style into my drawers so it was still visually appealing and I could tell what things were at a glance, but folding things is frankly too much trouble for me and I would dread it every time so things would sit in baskets. I dreaded folding it so much I would put off doing laundry in the first place 😬 and I would have to go through every drawer and often unfold things just to pick outfits and then I wouldn’t want to fold it back up. It was just too much trouble, very inefficient. Dressers are NOT meant for us bees or butterflies! It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a closet in your room like myself, you can build one. 😉 another thing I’ve been utilizing lately is black wire grid cubes. I like the look of them and they’re decently cheap. They’re SUPER versatile. I hang my beanies and sunglasses on them, I have them displaying my shoes and purses, holding a lot of my sons toys and craft items, my Squishmallows, etc. They’re very good for transitional organizing like she suggests also! I made a giant caged “zoo” of stuffed animals temporarily until I’m ready to actually make a place for them to go and I have cubes for colouring books and notebooks that isn’t the most efficient, but is good enough until I can find clear containers suitable for them. I think us bees have a lot of characteristics of ADHD and OCPD lowkey. We have so many projects and things we need to house and can never put the time and attention into beginning a system but need things to be in a perfect system… idk. I’m glad we have this channel and The Home Edit to finally feel understood in some way though. It was hard to put my struggles with organizing into words and I didn’t know what my ideal would even be if I had one and they’ve helped me figure it out. ❤️
Love the phone story. A few years ago we were with friends in New Orleans hanging out in a bar/live music venue. Our friends' adult daughter suddenly realized she had misplaced her phone. We all helped her look all over and she emptied her purse onto the table to see if it was in there. One of us called her phone and the look on her face was priceless when she said, "I know where it is.". Yep, she had tucked it in her bra and the vibration tipped her off.
Hey Cas, I think I might be a wanna-be 😉Bee 🐝 - well, I mean my mind and intentions are very detailed, and I love the IDEA of all the little detailed categories, but maybe it’s time to embrace that it would be better to live like a butterfly 🦋 (maybe I could just bee-it-up in a few particular spaces, but otherwise, just let myself be a butterfly 🦋 and MOVE ON!) Would it be best to embrace the one that - when you talk about it - feels the biggest relief? (Which would be butterfly 🦋) Maybe I’m overthinking… 😆🤣 (like a Bee?! 🐝)
I am not a boob tucker of my phone, but I am a mom with ADHD and I have (more than once) walked up and down all the stairs all around my house multiple times looking for the car keys that are LITERALLY IN MY HANDS THE WHOLE TIME. I feel you.
i swear this is straight up my life story. I was sorting my tiny screws nails and bolts while listening, re-organizing my pegboard system, and perpetually cleaning up projects that I didn't put away. bee to the bone
Now, that was funny, Cass! No I don't carry my wallet in my " breast area" (you Canadians are so prim and proper) ☺ but I wish I would have since I just lost my cards and dl on Monday 🤪
Gee, just call me out why dontcha? LOL 😂 Thank you for this. I showed this to my husband and now my "projects" make more sense to him. I'm no longer a crazy person!
I'm a Bee and one the best tips I've used is that I can't keep it if it doesn't fit in the container! Also, as a woodworker, I just created one of the best drawer organizing systems ever! Pegboard with dowel rod pieces that can be placed to fit everything from silverware and food container lids to holding rolled towels in place. Pegboard is not just for hanging!
Out of sight, out of mind is really spot on for me. And if it’s hidden, I don’t care if it’s organized or just dumped. Which is how my spare bedroom became an overcluttered mess! I started clearing it out on the ‘all day declutter together’ and am making progress. I plan to make this into my craft-sewing room. Hopefully soon. 😁
LOL, YES! I have been a "boob tucker" for holding my phone in the past. I actually stopped doing it after hearing a handful of stories of younger women who have developed breast cancer coincidentally on the same side they tucked their phone. It could be just a coincidence but who knows - so I erred on the side of caution and stopped doing it. As always, thank you for the fantastic tips! I am reclaiming my home gradually and efficiently and have stopped trying to reach perfection out of the gate. Like you said - I can always go back and "perfect it more" at a later time and that is SO smart! ANYTHING is better than outright mess! I can really feel the decrease in my stress levels the more ground I gain!
I totally use my bra as storage. Haha! You know how people used to get ready to leave and they would pat their pockets to find keys. I totally pat my chest anytime I am looking for something. Haha!
See, I LOVE putting things in rainbow order… I actually want things to be SO pretty, but yeah, I AM so overthink-y and logical about it all too! As I rewatch this video, I’m hearing more things that sound like me. 🥰
Yes! My closet is all rainbow organized and sub organized. Skirts by length, pants, cardigans, blouses, dresses. My shoes....heels, flats, sneakers, jewelry......each subcategorized in rainbows!
Thank you SO much for this video series!! As a butter/bee I crave your organization content. There are so few resources out there for my organizing style!
Oh as a 🐝 bee yeah you’re right! I love clear containers, but behind cabinet doors! Only daily used items can be left out. I detest looking at jackets/coats on hooks but noticed I tend to hang them on the back of a chair if I don’t use the hook, hanging up in the coat closet is what I like but not what I tend to actually do. So….an over the door hooks thingy for daily worn item and the rest hung up. Now we’re moving from 1450 square feet to 450 and I’m being forced to get rid of so much, 🤯 it’s SO hard and acrylic containers are so expensive! Sure could use your help right now lady!
🤣😂🤪 That's it I just died... sorry Cass your tel story was just too hilarious!!! However, I'm so sorry you had to go through the panicking process😪 I've started my decluttering journey 3 years ago and I now realize I organize like a bee ( super categorizing things with transparent containers) however containers have to be hidden. Yellow looks great on you and cheers from Ottawa💛🌼🤗
I love this series. I mostly like hidden storage but not always (tools for example - definitely want it out on a peg board.). Thank you for making these videos.
As always, LOVE your stories! I call those types of situations my, "Thank goodness I'm pretty" moments! Thanks for bringing these basics back. It is very helpful. I am a full on Cricket and perfectionism stops me constantly. Working on accepting good enough for now.
Is there a type A Bee? LOL dads garage..you could eat off the floor! And peg boards. Everything labeled. Very clean. Not every thing not visible but if you opened it it made since. Even junk draw in kitchen was intentional! LOL but asthjetic & functional.
I love you Cas!!!! I'm crying over hear because I've done the same thing with my phone a million times... :D You crack me up so much. Also I thank you for validating my organization style as a Bee and giving me permission to do some "Good Enough" organization and make it perfect later as I have way too much stuff (as you said) :)
🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for sharing the afterstory! Hilarious! It's like hunting in desperation for your glasses while you're wearing them or looking around frantically for your phone while you're holding it to your ear telling the person you're talking to that you can't find it!! 😂
OMG! I think I'm a BEE! When watching previous videos explaining the organizing styles, I didn't think I fit any of them totally. This video explains me to a T! I feel like a hoarder because I can't organize perfectly so I never do it at all. This weekend is dedicated to making a craft room so my supplies have a home. For now I'm going with good enough so things get more organized and I can breathe again. I am so much a book Tucker with my phone! Like having an extra pocket! 😂😂😂
I grew up with a Bee as my mother. I have become a ladybug myself. I live with a big butterfly(my husband) and two little butterflies. Your advice has helped me so much throughout the years. I appreciate you so much. Your content is so good 👍
You are soooo cute when you get to your personal stories, st the end of the videos!!! I am glad to see it happens also to much younger people than myself! 🤪
That's the one reason I never got a wallet case. I can't boob-tuck because I'm pretty flat in that area. Depending on where I'm going, I have a business card holder that I keep my ID, debit, and some cash in so it can go in my back pocket and my phone fits in the other back pocket. Or I carry a purse.
I used to be a boob tucker but I stopped for three reasons. First, I was aways a little worried I would get cancer. Two, when I sweat I would pull out a sweaty phone. And three, I put it in my bathing suit one time and forgot and took my phone for a swim. Never again.
These videos are so helpful! I was/am a bee but I had to let go some, because I want things more organized than my family can handle. I think they are very messy butterflies, like one of them will leave literal trash on their desk when the garbage is right there! Help! How do I get them to be tidier butterflies?
I'm a bee so obviously I've been waiting impatiently for my video. So glad I stayed till the end. 😂🤣 in college I'd get home from a night out and all things would fall to the floor. This was before handy cases to keep it all together. 😆🤣
This is so me. I just donated a very nice couch to the Salvation Army and it about killed me to see them take it away. I cried even though I got new beautiful couches to replace it.
Cass, you are hilarious!🤣 No, I’ve never been a boob tucker but I do lose my phone in plain sight! It happens so often that I finally got an Apple Watch to basically ping my phone’s whereabouts😬 (I use the feature per day more times than I’d like to admit)😳
Wait, use the disposable dental floss stick n then put it back with rest clean ones? 🤔 maybe that’s not the best example to show, just saying🤷🏻♀️same thing happened in another of these video series, a bar of soap I think it was, again, not the type of thing you use and put it back 🤪 Otherwise, I love your content and I love you🥰
Dyyyyying. So funny! I really appreciate this series. I'm a cricket with a visual streak (vignettes, like rainbows) in small/moderate doses. Bricket? I'm totally down with clear storage, but want the closet to have a door.
My neighbors might think I’m crazy!! I’m just here, sitting on my deck listening to your end story!!! I might have laughed really hard!! Cass, you have great stories!!! 😂😂😂
I absolutely LOVE the way you are giving tips by categories! This helps me so much. I am a bee that is also ADHD so you can just imagine the way my home looks. Thank you so much for these tips. They truly help me stay above water.
Oh my word- I don’t think I’ve laughed this hard at your end stories as I did today. 🤣🤣 I’m not a butterfly so I skipped to the end just for the story and am so glad I did.
My husband is a bee but the kids and I are butterflies so he has had to let go a lot and as long as it’s organized he is happy all though he does go into the pantry and reorganize our cans every once in a while lol. I am happy though that at least we are both visual organizers. As for the bra as a pocket for the phone absolutely I do that but my breasts are smaller so I put it in my cleavage
I am the complete opposite of a bee 😆 But bees are so cool. Like, that level of organizing AND making it pretty, I have to admire. Loving the bees! 🐝 ❤️
Loving this series Cas. We all need to know our styles and our husband's and kids styles too! These are Great! And I love your bonus stories afterward. 😄😄
Cas thank you for this series I have loved it - in fact I went back to your books I have them on audible to listen again I’ve loved this - it feels fresh and inspirational I’m in the Uk and I’ve watched in the morning before work love love love ❤️ The end story with your purse hidden literally in plain sight made me chuckle - my husband was intensely watching his beloved soccer team play getting irritated by my giggles 🤭 you crack me up - it was so funny and trying to keep reasonably quiet whilst giggling was funner 😂
I have tested as a Butterfly and a Bee, but in some areas I love the serenity of no visual clutter... like I'm really drawn to Scandinavian designed living rooms. I also struggle because I HATE dusting, and with having everything out, it gets dusty. I thought I was some kind of genius years ago when, tired of dusting, I collected all of my special things around the living room and put them in a tall, easily cleaned, glass curio cabinet! I'm beginning to think I'm different Bugs in different areas of my home. Like a Ladybug living room, a Cricket kitchen, and a Butterfly or Bee bathroom! I did an audible gasp when you opened that clear drawer full of dental floss picks! 😆 What is this Home Edit of which you speak? And, more importantly, do I have time to do it?? 😆 🤣 I've never been boob-pocket gal, but I completely relate to that ADHD moment you had! Another great story Cass!!
I literally laughed out loud at your phone story. 😂😂 You're the best Cas!! And thanks for explaining how I can be a mess and a perfectionist at the same time. 🙋🏾👏🏽👏🏽❤️
Will you do a video on a wife being a ladybug and a husband being a bee? We’ve been married 20 years, and I think I’ve just hit the organizational jackpot!
