Hello Friends! Today I further explain how and why I zone clean. I also share with you a personal struggle that I had to learn to deal with so I didn’t pass these habits to my children. I hope to hear from you down in the comments! ❤️

I love Dianne in Denmark and Steph at The Secret Slob. They both have a similar yet different approach. You also have an angle to offer. The way you discuss organizing and explain zone cleaning is very intersting and helpful to those of us who have pets or maybe need a deeper reasoning or explanation. That is why at 52 I have been spending more time here. No children, still working full time. You have a real approach to help and that comes across. I am tired at the end of the day and often lack motivation but I am getting better. For those of you out there, just take your time and buy a couple of bins, start with one drawer...it does take time. I have found that I am ready to let go of stuff. So I am getting rid of furniture and becoming more minimal....but that is me. This channel is not about Minimalism it is about organizing and cleaning to live less stressed. I have read The Sink Reflections book. You aren't Dianne or Steph and I appreciate you. LOL

Thank you so much! Your words inspire me and tells me that I’m headed in the right direction. A couple of bins and one drawer at a time is the way to do it. My Declutter and Organize series is about breaking these areas down into bit size peace’s so that we don’t get overwhelmed and quit. I’m so happy that you appreciate the angle that I’ve taken Zone Cleaning. This routines has been so helpful to me, kept me calmer knowing that once the routines are done then I’m done and free to chillax the rest of the day. No longer a need to give a whole day to deep clean. Anyway! Thank you so much for commenting and making my night! ❤️

You are a Treasure! ❤ Thank you for sharing your insight on OCD - I’m from the opposite end of the spectrum. You allow space for us ALL to accept the way we are….right now. That’s priceless. I’ve always been fastidious on a few areas……kitchen, bathroom and laundered bedsheets - but I can allow everything else to slide. Sigh. Finally recovering from cancer treatments. Never knew intensive radiation could steal an entire year of energy and motivation. Even tho you and I are on the opposite spectrum of cleanliness, 🤣, I still find your videos full of wisdom and kick-butt energy. You are appreciated! Zones! I’m ramping up to just 1-3 items per day and I find consistency to be the most important factor. As you testify, it doesn’t have to be perfect. ❤

Joann, you’re right, consistency is the most important factor in cleaning. Even I fall out of consistency all the time. I have to get myself back up, reset and start again. I don’t know if you follow me on instagram or FB where I’ve told my story of 5 years of H3ll from a prescribed medication injury. Life was very hard and had me sapped of energy. Thankfully I recovered about 85% and I’m able to get things done, as long as stay consistent. 😜

Hi Michele - Just got home from church and I am watching you while I eat my breakfast. I am so proud of you for conquering your OCD issue. My granddaughter struggles with that and anxiety and she has had some professional help that the Lord provided to help her but I guess it will always be a struggle for her. I have always been a very neat housekeeper but never obsessive although I have been accused of it before. I have a certain standard that makes me happy but it doesn’t have to be perfect. I do have a dear friend that has that issue and it has caused her so much trouble. Thanks for inspiring us and motivating us. Your labors are not in vain. We (Rebecca, Rachel and I) returned last night from spending a couple of days in Rachels college town looking for her an apartment for the upcoming year. Melissa even came and joined us from Dallas. We had a blast. We were all starved for some fun. We stayed at our favorite hotel and had a super nice dinner ($344) that was so fun, relaxing and delicious. Thanks for all the efforts you put into your videos. Love in Christ.

Hello Donna! My heart goes out to your granddaughter. Yes, OCD is a life long struggle that is always coupled with anxiety and panic disorder. It will always be something I deal with however I’m thankful that I better understand it and the strategies I’ve developed to help me either deal with or accept that this is part of me. I believe that my perfectionism was a taught behavior brought on to prove that I was a “good” teen mother because look how well I took care of him and our home. I had a lot on my plate as a teen mom still trying to graduate high school while nursing a newborn and newly married to a full time college student. I was personally as happy as can be because of this little son I had but I wanted those around me to see how good I was at this Mom thing, lol! It all worked out. I graduated high school and later cosmetology school, raised 4 kids and helped to raise 3 others and my husband and I have a blended family with 15 grandkids and two more due this year. God is good and I’m so grateful for all the new friends that I’ve made on this channel! ❤️

YES YES YES!!! Exactly what I was talking about. I go through this too and is another reason why routines are important to me. The routines help me to compartmentalize what needs to be done without having that gnawing that it’s all or nothing.

If you take a glass of ice and put it down your garbage disposal and let a little bit of water run it will sharpen the blades of your disposal

I’m so happy to have you here! I do know the ice tip and usually I do that however, my ice maker broke about 2 years ago and everytime we have it repaired it goes back to just making slush. I have a new refrigerator on order, it was scheduled to be here two weeks ago and now they’ve pushed it to the end of June. Hopefully it will be here then so that I can finally have ice in my drinks and down in my disposal. I’m glad you reminded me since I’m out of the habit of doing it.

Love this, as usual! I’m great at compiling the lists of zone work and organizing a cleaning schedule. BUT, I’m not so great at actually carrying it out. You’ve been a big help in motivating me to keep up. I do a “home blessing” to each room on a 2 week cycle (kitchen is every week), then zone clean on Flylady’s schedule. I have a long list of small tasks and do 1 a day until the list is done, then start over. I see you’re almost to 1000 subscribers. Way to go!!
@michellelowe-getinspired 3 жыл бұрын
I know, I’m getting so close to 1000! I’m so glad that I’m giving you some motivation to get your list done. 1 tasks a day is a great option and gets the job done and of course whatever doesn’t get done this round can get done next. ❤️❤️❤️

💐 Michelle, Thank you so much for being brave enough to talk here about your problem! I believe as women it’s so encouraging to to hear about each other’s battles in life and not get too discouraged with our own battles! Your children and grandchildren are so fortunate to have you and your constant support 😊. I wish as a very young mother (19) that I could have had the direction and support that you give here. You probably also have some very good ideas on food and cooking. That would be very much appreciated here I’m sure! I hope you have a great weekend!!! 👠💄👛🌸❤️👍🤗

Thank you Charby! You are so sweet. I was 17 when I had my son and I think this was started my need to have everything perfect. I felt that I had a lot to prove, that even though I was a teen mom I was a getting it all done and more. Of course OCD is a whole other issue and has to be dealt with in a different way but for the most part I’ve been able to tame down that beast so that it isn’t as all consuming. My prayers are for others who deal with it consistently in their everyday lives.

Zone cleaning works for me as well. Perfect for not getting overwhelmed when getting things done. I've never seen Tide powder detergent as a floor cleaner that was cool. I'm sure it works well since Tide removes any stain on clothes. Thank you for sharing your personal struggles and how you're doing so well today. I always appreciate listening to your journey so helpful. I believe you'll reach 1000 subscribers before you know it!! You're awesome at what you do. Keep being great my friend. 🥰💕👏🙏

Hey Michelle, I’m really enjoying your zone cleaning videos. Learning a lot of new info. that I don’t hear on the other channels! Can you please elaborate on how you block your cleaning time for zones each week? You touched on it in this video when you were sharing how it’s evolved since you had young kids at home to older kids that could help. What’s the ideal breakdown for a mama with babies?
@michellelowe-getinspired 3 жыл бұрын
Sure. Let me explain how I did it with babies and how I encourage my daughters. 1. I have my morning and evening routines. These are super important to keep your house tidy throughout the day. If you haven’t seen it already there is a video in my list of my morning and evening routine. 2. Weekly Home Blessing/Monday Morning Rest/ Weekend Reset- this is a quick clean of your home. This is important to help maintain all of your hard work in between deep cleanings (zone cleaning) 3. And you saw the videos on zone cleaning and how you can break that down into 15 minutes a day or you can do it all in one day, which ever way works best for you. 4. I also break tasks into days. Monday- Weekly Home Blessing Tuesday- Clean out the fridge and make grocery list Wednesday-grocery shopping and food prep. Thursday- Catch up day Friday- car and purse/diaper bags Saturday-family day Sunday- make meal plan and work in my planner putting in appointment/bdays etc. Sometimes I do my weekly home blessing on this day to start out my house fresh on Monday morning. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions. I try to keep it very simple for myself. 🤗
