There's an old saying 'if you want something done ask a busy person'! I've worked while my kids were growing up - fortunately only after they went to school and only part time - but I had a friend who had never gone back to work after having her kids and she was always 'too busy' to help out with things at Church etc. It was really because she gave herself all day to do things and was such a perfectionist rather than really being busy at all. There's also a poem I love called "Dust if you must'' and it kind of sums up my philosophy on housework and life in general. Dust if you must, but wouldn’t it be better To paint a picture, or write a letter, Bake a cake, or plant a seed; Ponder the difference between want and need? Dust if you must, but there’s not much time, With rivers to swim, and mountains to climb; Music to hear, and books to read; Friends to cherish, and life to lead. Dust if you must, but the world’s out there With the sun in your eyes, and the wind in your hair; A flutter of snow, a shower of rain, This day will not come around again. Dust if you must, but bear in mind, Old age will come and it’s not kind. And when you go (and go you must) You, yourself, will make more dust. Rose Milligan

@amybee40 2 года назад

Love the poem, but there does come the time we MUST dust! Because dust contains allergens. I deep-cleaned my parents' bedroom after 10 years of neglect, and the dust was awful and sad. The room felt so much airier and pleasant after. Spring and Fall cleaning at least, people!

@mec018 2 года назад

I definitely go back in my planner and write things down that I did during the day that I didn’t write down before I did them just to check it off! I thought I was the only one that did that😅😅

@amybee40 2 года назад

LOL The "to-done" list is a real sanity saver some days.

@starflower703 2 года назад

I was exactly like you when I was a young mom. Then I had several injuries and developed chronic pain. I had to make some hard choices, because I could no longer keep up the same pace. For years I felt guilty for letting certain things go; but my husband encouraged me to pace myself. If I push too hard, I get very little accomplished and end up in a flare that can last several days. If I pace myself, I can get a lot more done multiple days in a row. It was a learning process that involved learning to listen to my body. I also had to learn to stop being such a perfectionist.

I just found your channel this week and I’ve been bingeing it for the last few days. Funnily enough beside having almost the same age, we don’t have anything in common. I am Brazilian, I live in Rio. I am atheist, I’ve never heard of mennonites before(because of you I found that there’s a Mennonite community here that I wouldn’t know if it wasn’t for this channel), don’t want to have kids or get married. I have some very different world views from you, but still here I am :) Happily enjoying your content! :) Thank you for the work you put on those videos. It’s all very well done and though out. Be proud of the community you’ve created here. You’re doing amazing. Congrats on the lovely family :) Love from Brazil! :) ❤️

Kind of the same shoes here; I have little in common with her except that I love dresses. I have learned more from her than any other person with just habits, etc. I swear I have changed so much. I also watch a Hutterite girl who is like 24? LOL. I love both of them. She is Giselle Waldner. She is single and they work in a group and it's fascinating and refreshing.

I was married for 25 years and we were never able to have children. My husband died in an accident when I was 51. A few years later I met a man my age with a 9 year old daughter. I had never parented before. That sweet girl will be 15 next month and I turned 58 today. Additionally, I care for my 92 year old mother. I went from working in hospital administration to suddenly being a mom and caretaker. While I wouldn't change my life for anything, it was a struggle at first. I have found that watching your videos as well as another young Mennonite girl has taught me to do the mundane tasks in life with a loving heart. If I just slow down and do things out of love, it feels wonderful. Thank you for the glimpse into your life.

I absolutely love this Megan! I'm a mom of six, a pastor's wife and I'm getting ready to start our next homeschool year. Definitely a time of my life when I need to live very intentionally leaning on the Lord and following him, not getting distracted with things that really don't have eternal value.

@charlottesometimes4 2 года назад

These tips are AMAZING! Just recently I've been finding my footing with homemaking since I work from home now (I'm 24 and got married a few years ago. No kids yet but hopefully soon). Totally agree with doing a little bit of laundry every day- I used to let mine and my husband's laundry pile up for eternity and then do it all at once. That was horrible haha. It became such a monumental task that I kept putting it off. Doing one load every day makes it 1000 times easier and wayyy more manageable! And also one of your last tips about giving yourself less time is great. I love days when I have a long to-do lists... it kicks me into overdrive mode and I always feel super productive🤩

Great advice Megan! At this stage of my life (after working outside the home for 20 yrs) I pick up grandkids from school 3 days a week. I have a set routine to get things done and treat this as my work that the Lord has blessed me with. That leaves me time to enjoy sewing and crocheting. Also, loved the dress you were wearing! God bless. ♥️

@marynauman1679 2 года назад

This is a excellent video. I’m a 71 yr old grandmother and caregiver of my 94 year mother in law. My friends say you are so busy all the time. This helps me be more productive at home. I have to get certain things done in a timely matter so I can go swimming 2 times a week. I plan things so I don’t have all day to get a simple task done. I have to make my time intentional like you said. Some days I goof off some but get right back on track the next day. Like I said before great video

LOVE all your videos, Megan! So honored to be part of Dawn's collab with you! My favorite takeaway from your video was that you're more likely to be a "bad mom" when you're rushed. My husband and I were literally just talking about that yesterday and how we need to protect our kids from the crabby, rushing parents that result from us saying yes to too much! I am SO motivated to say no to anything that's not a "heck yes" knowing that the cost for my children is high (as I'm trying to do all the packing or coordinating and make sure we're out the door on time, and not able to be as patient or calm with them.)

@jerryastevens 2 года назад

Love this Megan! The last tip - when you say yes to something you say no to something - Opportunity Cost :) Saying yes to something is costing you from saying yes to something else. Is what you're saying yes to worth MORE than what you are saying no to? Its only a question you can answer yourself. Love your videos and your authentic self!!!
