Jumping on the #chuckthebucket bandwagon!! 😂

"Boredom is not my problem to solve. That's on you." Yes!

Mom of 2 neurospicy kiddos… 😉 I would give a number for items they had to go into their room and throw away trash or pick up items and that usually worked really well. I also made it a game sometimes… put a bin in the middle of the room ‘how many cars can you make into the bin?’ And allow them to throw it! (Obvi that doesn’t work for every toy- haha) What I wish I had known sooner… I worked in a SPED prek class a couple years ago and learned that many kids need extra time to PROCESS our instructions. Simplify… 1 direction at a time… give the direction and WAIT… literally PAUSE with NO EXTRA WORDS… give their brain time to take in and process your direction. Do NOT KEEP REPEATING yourself. It’ll actually help them develop that skill. Break it down as far as you have to depending on their level.

Why trump jokes ??

I wasn't going to watch this one because of the bucket list title and having recently watched a video from someone else that talked about summer bucket lists in summer routine with kids home that I think is really helpful for our new situation. I'm so thankful I decided to check this out anyway! Just the release from expectations I had on myself as the first summer as a full time grama to a very talkative energetic 7 year old granddaughter. Whew, lol. (Our bucket list, thankfully is a list to help us get out and do specific things with our granddaughter so it is really good for us.) But this information is going to help so much!!! Thank you Dawn and Britt! 😊

The comment about being able to move away from codependent relationships as you get better with decluttering is SO TRUE. I'm going through this myself and I'm so grateful for the progress in both areas.

My kitchen is decluttered and looks nice and easy to maintane I do keep toaster and canopener out on counter but there nice and don't show smudges .pioneer woman has a nice line of prett😊y

Just about to watch this. BUT want to say, I grew up poor, parents hoarders, parents both traumatized and mentally and emotionally unavailable. My classmate thought my father was dead, beacuse he was never there. SO we could never affort vacations or travel in country and such which is fine. BUT what I wish my parents still held up was the family orientation connection. We never ate in the same table, we never watched movies together, we never did camping, never walked together. And I hope that even though some may not be able to uphold their «bucketlists», travels and costly activities, that they don’t give up on the family. I would be fine not travelling, if my family was still working as a family. My parents completely detatched theselves Edited due to writing errors

👍👏👏👏🙋‍♀️🥰‼️

I should be by the pool with a book, and I have only done that once. I literally was JUST giving myself a hard time about this.lol

My autistic son felt it a lot growing up . He would come and hug me before I even realized it. I did tell him I am feeling off/ sad etc and will be okay. I just need a bit of time.

Easter Baskets! Ack! 16:50

I can't wait to watch this. My youngest child asked me a few years ago if I had a bucket list. It was so freeing to answer, "No, I really don't." That night in bed, I asked myself, if I could have one thing in life what would it be? I'd want my kids to know and love God and walk free in His truth

I don’t Dawn, I’m still with you, I really feel the lower lights feel like visual clutter! I know what she is saying, and yet I do think it kinda bugs me…

26:40 A caveat: asking why TRANSFORMED MY LIFE 😃by helping me learn as an adult that ADHD is part of why I just don't care about organizing, cleaning, cooking, etc. ❤🤗 Understanding that it really is easier for some people reduced my shame and self-blame so much! < : - ) It also helps me remember that *of course* I benefit from giving myself things like reminders, routines, and *FUN & ENCOURAGEMENT* with Temptation Bundling, cute dishes and cleaning tools, immediate rewards, noticing what I'm doing RIGHT, etc. For me, these are as essential as someone else putting on glasses! 🤓 Another why that has helped me so much was realizing that even *thinking* about cleaning was triggering emotional flashbacks to how irredeemably bad and helpless I felt as a child when my mother would randomly attack me for not having *already* cleaned my room (even though there was never any instruction on how or when I should do it, which I now know most kids need). Identifying that why helped me refute the damaging programming and reclaim cleaning as something I do for ME because I deserve to live in a nice environment. < : - ) I'm now a bit of a junkie for looking at why I'm upset or demotivated because often there IS something I can adjust mentally or in my environment to make things easier for myself. That said, I agree that sometimes just ignoring the why and taking ACTION is the fastest path to better! 🤩 To any parent who feels not good enough because you just don't care about cleaning or cooking, take it from someone who grew up in a clean, efficient home yet felt horrible every day: *you're doing GREAT if your kids know you accept and love them!* 😄🏆👏 "Good enough" can be WONDERFUL!

I'm your best friend. I love you guys. I'm blessed to have you guys in my life.

great conversation!! thank you!!!

You lost me at I’m not a parent but…

Same here. Team tidy, not clean. 😅❤ (Except vacuuming. Bc. I like sitting on the floor. I'm an Asian soul. 😅)

Yay! So great to see Britt Frank again! 😃👏 Bought The Science of Stuck after the last interview and I'm excited for the new book! 🤓📚 Some favorite takeaways: 1) 23:44 When tackling a challenge, *expect* an inevitable loss of enthusiasm. 🙃😄 2) Try asking What can I say yes to? (e.g. picking up one sock) *Motivation comes AFTER taking action, not before it* i.e. It gets easier! 🤸‍♀ 3) When feeling confident and competent, create a message of encouragement for your future self. 🥰 4) Adjusting expectations helps (e.g. summer & holidays can actually be pretty stressful when you're the parent not the kid!). 5) Starting SMALL really works! (e.g. starting with 30 seconds of sitting quietly vs. a big meditation goal). 6) 18:47 When stressed or upset around kids, Name the emotion (anxious, sad, etc.), Say it's not their fault & not their problem to solve, & Reassure them you're going to be okay. (Works great with partners and modified for self-talk too! 😀) 7) Change is possible! Our brains continue to adapt and create new pathways throughout our lives, making new things easier and more automatic the more we do them. 🌈🌱🌿🤩🍀💐💖 *Thanks, Britt and Dawn!* Looking forward to your book or *whatever* you choose to collaborate on! 😃❤

I love how honest and genuine Britt is!

Your videos and podcasts have helped me so much!! Decluttering has helped me be an advocate for myself- keeping unwanted items just to please someone else is no longer how I operate. Every time I declutter, I am choosing myself, my emotional well being and my family’s. I am putting myself first, and not the feelings of others. This mindset has filtered into other areas of my life, I look at relationships that are not healthy or are not serving me in a new way, just like items or stuff that needs to be decluttered from my life. I totally relate to the person who wrote in around the 11:22 mark. Thank you Dawn , I love your message and your work, and I share your content with everyone in my life! ❤

This may be a dumb question, because I’m still trying to understand the whole iCloud thing, but can I use Amazon photos to store all my photos without iCloud? Or do I need to keep paying for iCloud?

I think the best part of summer for kids is not having to get up & go in the morning. If you are fortunate enough to be home with your kids, let them sleep in, linger in their jammies, eat a not-rushed breakfast, hang out around the house & yard, discover their own street. Less schedules, less activities, less to-dos on the list. Summer can be a rest from the busy school year.

As a mom to 4 young kids, who was recently started on medication for anxiety, this was so good. Thank you! I shared it with my mom, my sister, 2 good friends, and all the ladies from my Bible study group!

Why have a bucket list if there is always a hole in the bucket. Never had one or needed one. If we ever said we were bored, mom would find something for us to do. So whenever said we were bored. 😂😂

This was so so encouraging!

Great video as always

Love this!❤

It’s important to remember that “camp” isn’t always about packing a kid’s schedule … it’s very often the only option parents have for childcare during the summer.

This was a very informative podcast! I love it!

Thank you for this information! It brought many ideas into focus for me. Could you please tell me the app Matt mentioned where he takes a picture/video of the item and can add text or a voice narration of the history of the item?

This was amazing!!!

I love this! As an educator, I share summer break with my daughter and try to plan memorable activities. We are only two weeks into our summer and at least twice a day she has declared this the best summer ever. What magical activities have I made, you ask? We had a movie night at home, today I took her outside and helped her learn to ride her bike better and hit a softball, and showed her the picture of herself in the newspaper from her Special Olympics competition. That’s it. We have barely left our neighborhood and she is having the time of her life. Who knew?! Sometimes we way overthink things.

My summer bucket list is grow a vegetable garden, mow the lawn when I feel like it, relax in the hammock, go for walks, take photos of flowers, eat lots of popsicles, I’ll keep my bucket list.

My kids knew better than to tell me they were bored. Bored=work in my house. Now the grandkids are learning. 😅

Now that I'm older and retired I love boredom

This was great! Even though it’s winter here, there were some fantastic takeaways. Thank you both!

I used to work in English, French and Spanish at a United Nations organisation in Geneva so I have lots of books in the three languages.

This video is so helpful and makes so much sense. I have been unsure of explaining myself to my kids because I tend to talk to them about so many things. My kids are 6,4,2 but I have noticed their emotional intelligence is far more advanced than their peers. They have so much empathy for their age it’s beautiful. The most important thing I say to them is treat others the way you want to be treated: and that means I also need to lead by example.

This is wonderful and so informative. Thank you ❤

I LOVE BRITT 🙌🏻 so happy for the two of you together

Hey don’t come for my bucket 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but I get it we make a list but we just do as much as we can and that’s okay

Everybody is different, and that is absolutely OK, but, when my kids were young and still at home, summer was my all-time absolute favorite. Why? Because the schedule was slower, the kids were home and not at school with all of the social pressures, I got to be around them so much more. We didn’t plan a lot of outings because we couldn’t afford it and I’m glad we didn’t; we went for walks, they’d swing on the swings, play with their friends and play outside, went to the pool, did the summer reading program at the library, played with water and sand. We loved it so much!!!

Magical summer? We got to sleep-in, go swimming at the public pool, go to the beach sometimes, read books (signed-up at the library for the summer reading program) eat popsicles, play board games....Our friends lived in our neighborhoods and that's not usually the case anymore....That was "magical" enough. My favorites were the library and the beach.

This is awesome, Thank you. I have suffered from Anxiety from a young age. It was way before it became as well known as it now. Keeping a clean and tidy environment was absolutely necessary for my well being.

This was so interesting and informative! Thank you! I am a school secretary and have the summer off. This sumner, I made a summer bucket list just for me because it helps me remember the things that I always tell myself that I’d like to do when the summer comes. Right now, I feel no pressure to do all of those things, but if I’m looking for something to do, the list is there with ideas.

I love both of you so much! So much wisdom in one podcast. ❤ Thank. You. How interesting and true that the word “relax” can trigger a fear response in those of us who struggle with anxiety! 😮 (Also, I’ve listened to your previous podcast together 10 times, not exaggerating. 😂🎉)

I wish you were my neighbor. LOL. I am in a spot. I live in a tiny cabin in northern ny state. I'm 67 and there is no storage. Well one closet that stores boots, coats, clothes, and summer stuff in the winter. There is clutter in my kitchen and on my shelves. I used to be able to handle it and spring cleaning used to take care of all that. This year it's June 28th and it was 43 degrees last night. It's like spring never arrived. It's been rainy cold with very few warm days. Spring cleaning never came. Rrrr. Any ideas of how to get motivated when I'm still freezing?
