It's too late. 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:13.360 People change their people change show titles, although I don't 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.759 know if people have changed show titles like a TV 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:19.920 show after it's aired. Oh yeah, I wonder that'd be crazy. 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.679 What if Cheers was like called like the Big Bar 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:29.560 or something like that they were like, cheers the big bar, 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:33.840 you know, the big bar.

The kids are super happy. 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.600 It's just you know, a month, so I don't think 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:09.560 it's too long or daunting for anyone, and it feels 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.840 like a little break in this marathon of separation. 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:21.000 Yes, are they are still going to school? 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:27.040 Oh yeah, We've had a really sweet school that was 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.960 willing to take the little one for a month, and 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:33.120 they've been so amazing for him, and he's made little 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.200 friends and it's been great. 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.040 He went on his first little field. 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:40.680 Trip and then Enzo's been killing it with the tutor 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:44.800 and like the homeschool situation, I think it's been kind 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:48.800 of a nice break for him, kind of mentally, like 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.960 just the little stress of school. And yeah, he's been 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:56.280 killing it with his work and really focused. And then 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.280 you know, he loves the free time too. 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:01.480 And of course he does. How old, he's like right 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.480 in that zone where he can like start to read 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.800 stuff that he likes on his own, you know, he yeah, 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:07.239 he can. 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.639 Reading is a little bit of a struggle for him, 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.560 but he if it is something that catches his interest, 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:17.120 like he is into it and he's a really strong reader, 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.600 like he's very good at decoding big words, and yeah, yeah, 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:24.040 and so but yeah, he's been Yeah, it's been great. 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.000 It's been a nice break, I think for everyone. And 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:29.880 even though it's like another kind of layer of exhaustion 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.440 on top of everything else, it's like a good kind 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.800 of exhaustion, you know. It's like it's just nice to 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:36.840 have your family together.

I mean, I'm I'm 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:34.880 absolutely in need of uh I'm like looking around my office. 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:36.760 You guys can't see me, but like my office is 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:40.240 a trash right now, Like it is. Absolutely there's like 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.560 a giant bag and like corner with like stuff to 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:49.960 take to the goodwill. It's not more better? 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:56.000 Well, how perfect for what we're discussing today is that's 0:05:56.400 --> 0:06:01.560 it will give you the push. We are talking about 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:08.520 decluttering and spring cleaning. SOAR is gonna have an assignment 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:09.120 after this. 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.000 I do want to get more better at this. I 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:13.919 do want to get more better at this because, like 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.080 you know, spring cleaning is it's I'm I'm sure. I 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:19.919 don't know if we have notes about this, but like 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:25.320 there's like a tradition of you know, when the seasons change, 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.240 it's important to like change with the season, right and 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:31.440 so like when spring actually comes, we're not I'm not 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.440 in it yet. We're not in it yet, but it 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.960 is so nice to do things like sweep your front 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:41.880 step or like you know, do the closet clean out 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.320 or like turnover, Like, okay, the sweaters are going away, 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:46.640 the jackets are getting going in the back of the 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:51.039 clause or whatever the fuck. But like the amount of stuff, 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:55.320 the amount of like it's like I just get so 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.240 resistant to it. I guess is like I get resistant 0:06:58.240 --> 0:06:59.120 to the start. 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:00.760 Of it, and I don't want to do it. I 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:04.960 don't want to do it. You got done, you'll do it? 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:10.280 Yeah, yeah, And like no, it can be a lot. 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.040 I'm just not the kind of person that's like, let 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:14.960 me get a list out or you know, I mean, 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.520 I'll make a list, but like I'm not. I remember 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:20.120 reading did you ever read The Little House on the 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:24.440 Prairie books? Not watch the show, but read the books. No, okay, 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:29.280 well there's still time for you. They're very good. But 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.440 there was this thing in the Little House books where 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:34.440 like Monday they would do the wash, Tuesday they would 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:36.560 do this, Thursday they would do that, you know, like 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:41.320 there was a day for like whatever. I can't. I 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.920 can't live that way. I can't and I know my 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.640 life would be better for it if I did stuff 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.800 like that, but sure, I cannot do it. I can't. 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:53.440 I can't do it. 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:59.360 That surprises me because I feel like, I mean, I know, 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.280 obviously people tidy up before like you come over, but 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:04.120 like every time I've been to your house or even 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:05.920 like just how your dressing room was laid out, I 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.080 feel like you are so organized. 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:13.640 Well I am organized. I'm very organized, and like I'm 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:18.360 ruthless when it comes to stuff like m like you 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.680 don't let yourself acquire too much. Well, but the thing 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.720 that I'm just about throwing away. But I'm also like 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:28.400 a major collector, so like I collect constantly, like I'm 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.000 like a magpie. If it's shiny and interesting, I'm like 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:32.400 I need one of those and one of those and 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.640 one of those and one of those, you know, and 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:39.320 so like I just accumulate so much. But I also like, 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:43.040 am I'm good at like getting rid of stuff. It's 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:47.160 just the the the organizing aspect of it, or like 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.040 looking at it as a big mountain then I need 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.280 to climb. It's different when I'm in my closet, like 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:54.280 if we leave clothes out of it, because clothes are 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.440 like a different category. I feel like they're like right, 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.560 it's more about fashion and fun and like, yeah, utilizing 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:01.720 what you have and blah blah blah blah blah. I'm 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:06.560 talking about like stacks of books, like stuff that needs 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:10.000 to get to the framer note books that are empty 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:15.800 or half filled with stuff. You know, I'm just looking them, literally, 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:17.360 just looking around at the stuff that I need to 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.439 get rid of. I'm like, oh, you know, like, what's 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:23.959 that piece of wrapping paper that I've had for six 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.679 years that I just haven't used on anything because it's 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:30.200 so pretty? You know, I like, what do I do 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.560 with this little card from this thing that I got 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.400 invited to that I don't want to throw away? But 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:35.880 I where do I? You know? 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.800 Yeah, it's so like oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.160 I get it. It can be a lot, and I 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:43.199 and you know, like. 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:47.040 It though you like doing it, I do. I love 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.360 a good declutter and purject. 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:57.480 I literally feel myself less stressed out after I do it. 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.120 I was so judgmental without why. I was like why, 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:02.120 I really was. 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:06.200 Like, ew didn't even clock it didn't even God, you 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:06.719 should have. 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:11.240 Yeah, I you know, I. 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:16.640 Love the ritual of spring cleaning. You know, it certainly 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:21.200 hasn't happened every single year, because you know, there have 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:23.320 been some crazy springs and then but like when it 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.000 doesn't happen, it's like in the back of my mind 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.240 and I'm stressed out, and I'm like, I've got to 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.439 get it done before the fall comes, like something about 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.959 like before the cold weather comes, like I still got 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:37.480 to do this. And I would say we do like 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:41.880 a big we did a big declutter purge of the 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:46.120 whole house. Uh maybe like a year or so ago, 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.680 you know, obviously, like the the goal is always to 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.320 do it every year, but yeah, sometimes you don't need that. 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:55.560 Like sometimes it's like to do the whole house. Like 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.480 we went closet by closet, Like we picked a week 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:02.840 that we didn't have much going on, and we were 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:06.840 just like, okay, Monday, we're tackling the coat closet, which 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:09.880 doesn't just have coats, it also has bins in there 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.440 of like bullshit, Like there's a bin in there of 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:16.800 beach bags. Do we need five beach bags? We use 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.840 the same fucking one every time we go to the beach. 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.760 We don't need the other ones, you know what I mean? 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:26.439 Like five umbrellas, half of them were broken like shit 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:29.840 like that, and we just like went closet by closet 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.280 and then like drawer by drawer because we have like 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.400 junk drawer, like what we call junk drawers. We have 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.440 like one in our bedroom and one in the kitchen 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.719 that like shit just kind of gets tossed into. So 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:44.080 you don't like a junk drawer not. I fucking hate 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:44.880 the junk. 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:49.200 I love hate use. I refuse to have a junk 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:52.120 drawer in my house. My husband is trying to turn 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.400 the one. There's a drawer in the kitchen that holds 0:11:55.480 --> 0:12:00.199 like the keys, pens, no pads, and he kind only 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:01.480 is putting it in there, and I'm just like, what 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.520 is this? Get it out? I don't. But if you 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.120 don't put it in there, where are you putting it? 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.440 They throw away? Melissa, Well throw it away. Yes, if 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:12.600 it isn't home, it needs to be in the trash. 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:15.839 But does not have a home. That's and you know what, 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:17.839 as I'm listening to you, I'm like, that's why I 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.959 don't do this very often, because like everything has a home, 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.959 and if it doesn't have a home, I throw it away. 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:28.080 And Brad has gotten so annoyed with me before because 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:31.400 he's like, Oh, I'm like where does this live? Where 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.200 does this? Where's this? You? Know, like where does this live? 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.000 Where's the home for this? And he's like, yeah, why 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:39.920 do you talk about these things like it's not which 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:46.040 is so weird because I am obsessive about it needs 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:47.680 a little home. It needs to have a home, and 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:49.400 it can't just go in a bin. Can't be in 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.680 a bin, you know, Like I'm like, it has to 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:53.640 have a home. But what happens if you don't have 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:54.400 it like a home? 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:56.920 Like like good, But there's some things that you don't 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:58.720 random that you don't live here. 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:00.920 You don't live here. Exe to me what a random 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:02.840 thing would be. Tell me what a random thing would be. 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.800 I'll tell you where I'll put it. Well, challenge me. 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.720 I'm trying to think what's in our bedroom? So our 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:15.720 bedroom junk drawer is a bedroom a mix of girl. 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.160 It's a drawer. It closes. I'll have to look at it. 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:27.559 Okay, it has a mix of uh, notebooks, no block 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:29.319 of ew. 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:29.679 No. 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.720 We have books everywhere. I literally don't have space on 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:34.480 any shelf. 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.080 You need to throw at some of those books. But 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.000 half of them we use. 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:40.720 And then maybe there's one or two in there that 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.679 are probably maybe that are like maybe sentimental. 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.240 Here's what I think if it's a novel and you're like, 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.080 I am so proud that I read this book and 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.520 I want to read it again someday, keep it. But 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:56.080 books are trophies, essentially, their trophies their trophies to like 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.520 display of like look at how smart I am, like 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.960 all these books that I read, and so unless they're 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:07.520 being used as a reference, stugy it is, unless they're 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:10.000 be to me, Unless they're being used as a reference, 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.480 or you know that you're going to lend them out 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:16.240 to someone else after I've read it, I'm just like goodbye, 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:18.640 oh good bye. I don't need you anymore. Like I'm 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.760 never going to read My Court of Thorns and Roses again, 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:27.480 Like I already read it, you know, right right, right right, goodbye. 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:36.320 We have a lot of books in our bedroom book 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:38.120 most of them are like books we plan on reading 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:43.920 and then. But I also like I I. 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:44.600 Have my whole life. 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.200 I still don't really have this, but like you know, 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:50.040 when you see it in fancy houses, there's like a 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:53.800 study or like a room with a big bookshelf. I mean, 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:55.920 I kind of have a big bookshelf, but it's like 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.840 in the kid's room, and you know, the top half 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:04.160 of it as mine. There's something aesthetically beautiful about that. 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.280 And I also find it, like, I don't know, cozy 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:10.960 and comforting. So like for me seeing books around that 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:16.400 we've read is just there's something visually kind of cozy 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:20.720 about it that I just joy looking at. And I 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.480 just also have a dream of having a room where 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:27.320 there's like a library, a library, yeah, where there's like 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:30.080 all these books and it's not about like the books 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:35.200 we've read or haven't read or you know, trophies. Let's 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:38.080 be real, it's true not And I do like to 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.280 go back and write. I do like go back to 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:41.920 reference like reference books. 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.360 But I don't know, I. 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:47.040 Just it's just something that is like cozy and comforting 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.640 to me. Like I will sit in that room sometimes 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:51.960 and like stare at all the books and be like, oh, yeah, 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.120 remember that one, or like I still have we have 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:58.760 all the plays that we've read or like worked from. 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:02.760 There's like one that's like full of plays and like 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.360 I will thumb through that sometimes or just look at 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.520 it and be like, I don't know, it's like little memories. 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:11.520 I guess, yeah that makessonally that makes sense. I mean 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:16.200 I think library like I'm just saying, like with the notebooks, 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.400 what are the notebooks in the drunk drawer? Like what 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.880 are are they like spiral notebooks? Are they? Like? Are 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.080 they also to look at? Like what is the deal 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:25.960 with these notebooks? 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:29.720 Yeah? There is, Yeah, there's a couple spirals. They're like 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.320 David and I are both list makers. Otherwise we can't 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:38.680 remember shit, right, so we have so those sometimes are 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:40.640 I think like the top two notebooks are like our 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:42.400 notebooks that we grab sometimes when we have to make 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.520 like bigger lists because we also have like pads of 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.040 paper in the kitchen junk drawer, but that's more for 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:50.640 like shorter lists and groceries and stuff. 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:54.480 This is junk so far these things belong in the drawer, 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:56.160 Like oh yeah, junk drawer is. 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:59.400 Just like a phrase. And then there's a big notebook 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.600 in there that's like a leather notebook that was given 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:04.200 to me as a gift that I was supposed to 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:05.680 use as a journal and I never did. 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.199 But it has a very sweet inscription in it, and 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:11.120 I have written in it a little bit. But my 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:13.919 brain is like, rip out the inscription, get rid of 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:18.520 the leather notebook. I can't. I refuse to buy an 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:21.520 ugly notebook. This is like, oh yeah, that's pretty. It 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.800 has to be esthetically like pleasant to be out on 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:25.320 the counter. 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.760 Yeah, yeah, yeah, in case it's out on the counter. Yeah, 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:29.520 I do that too. 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.400 This one that I'm holding up is like covered in 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:35.439 flowers and stuff. Like in the drawer next to me 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:39.359 is it's my desk strawer, And there's like a compartment 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:43.520 for everything, Like there's a it's this is the desk drawer. 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.760 But if I need a lighter, I know exactly where 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:49.359 it is. If I need the pencil sharpener, I know 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:51.919 exactly where it is. If I need the glue, I 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.160 know exactly where it is, the stikler, whatever, whatever. 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:58.800 The junk drawer can be organizational. I wouldn't say I'm 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:00.680 trying to think of what else is in that drawer. Oh, 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:06.119 there's there's some eyeglass cases in there in case you 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:06.640 need one. 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:07.760 We both were glasses. 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:15.640 It's like, and then there's like some travel stuff. There's 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:19.959 like a ziplock of like charging cords and extra like 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.080 squares that. 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.560 Goes with the suitcases. There does not need to be 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:29.280 like in the suitcases. It goes with the travel stuff. 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:34.120 Yeah, but sometimes we're putting suitcases inside suitcases in our 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:38.560 little like storage area where the suitcases go for saving space. 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.840 There's a little area needs to be near this travel 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:47.719 stuff where like you keep your little travel bags and 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:50.760 like your You're like, yeah, but ours is like outside 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:55.800 and like in the garage. And then there's like, let me, 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:59.240 here's the thing. Different things work for different families, Yeah, obviously, 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:01.000 but like I mean, I feel like we're both saying 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:04.800 the same thing that like isis guys. Our producer was like, 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:06.840 this will be a fun episode, and like as she 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:08.840 said it, I was like, a' so fucking moly, not 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:12.800 it won't. It's gonna give me anxiety. My shoulders will 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:19.360 like up on my ears. I hate liss, I hate it. 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:23.560 I like I will say that things do get tossed 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:27.480 in that drawer a lot, and so every few months 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:30.320 I will empty the whole drawer and throw out shit 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:32.600 and then like kind of just keep the shit that 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.480 I know we still use or grab and like, and it's. 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:38.240 Always like half of what was fucking in there. 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:40.960 Sometimes you're just you know what it is too. Like 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:45.920 David a little bit more than me hates like clutter 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:49.199 on like the counter eat on our dresser or like 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:52.760 right and so. But sometimes there's things that you're like, 0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:55.199 oh fuck, like I'm you know, I can't throw this 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:59.119 out yet, I might need to get it later whatever, 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:01.320 or I'm not sure, so it just goes in the drawer. 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:04.880 It's also like just like a like a quiz can't 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:07.439 see me, but I'm rubbing my face because you're just 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:10.240 like trying to declutter quickly and you don't have time 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:12.639 to like go through every fucking thing and check with 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:14.040 your partner do we need this? Do we not? 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:16.439 Can't throw this out, so it just gets like shoved 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:18.919 in the drawer and then we go through the drawer 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:20.280 when it's full. 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:27.440 System. It's a system. Hate it. We have a kitchen peninsula, 0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:30.840 and like Brad is amazing in so many ways, he 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:34.359 will clean the whole peninsula. Everything is like spick and span. 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:37.159 He loves to clean. And then in the middle of 0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:40.600 the peninsul will be a giant mountain of just bullshit, 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:45.679 like bullshit that what just put it away? And like 0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:48.960 I've realized in our partnership, I am the one. I 0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:51.200 am the one that needs to put these things away 0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:53.720 or choose whether or not they go in the trash right, 0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:58.240 and like I try so hard, like the systems that 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:01.000 I put in place, I try to get him to 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:03.679 understand what it is about the system that I want 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:07.280 to have happened, Like there was there's like a bookshelf. 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:09.680 We do have a big bookshelf in our living room 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:15.679 that has bottom is kids books, middle is like reference materials, 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:17.920 and you know, there's lots of pictures on the shelf. 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:19.320 And then on the very top of the shelf to 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:22.600 the right is where we're supposed to put the bills. 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:26.840 Incoming bills, outgoing bills. Chargers are in a little box. 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:29.320 And then both of the laptops are supposed to sit 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:31.920 right on top of each other. And that's it. That's all. 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:36.080 It's supposed to be there. Every time I pass by 0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:38.679 and I look at it, and Marie Kondo talks about this, 0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:43.080 the visual eye clutter of that is like so fucking 0:21:43.320 --> 0:21:46.119 it makes me fucking insane. I want to put my 0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:50.040 fists through a wall, like it is horrifying for me, 0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:53.920 Like I can't handle it. I can handle it visually, 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:57.320
