Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. What is a Yellow Aura? [01:31]

• Yellow auras: Characterized as curious, organized, and self-improvement focused.
  • Find joy in creating systems and making life flow more smoothly.
  • Organization is “aesthetically pleasing” and brings comfort.
  • Organization may manifest in different life areas (social calendars, pantries, spreadsheets, etc.)
• Michaela’s anecdote: Mentions her stylist who loves deep-cleaning as an example of yellow behavior.

Quote:
"Yellow auras are curious, self-improvement focused, organized individuals who love to learn... They find organizing...aesthetically pleasing. They find it peaceful."
—Michaela [01:36]

---

2. Authentic vs. Inauthentic (“GSD”) Yellow Aura [03:18]

• GSD (“Get Stuff Done”) Aura: Sometimes non-yellows briefly “wear” yellow aura energy under pressure (e.g., at airports, DMV), but it feels stressful, forced, and depleting.
• True yellow aura: Feels uplifted, calm, and at peace when organizing or systematizing.
• Key marker: Authenticity is consistent enjoyment versus stressful duty.

Quote:
"If you're wearing an inauthentic yellow aura...you're gonna feel anxiety, stress, exhaustion, and a distance from yourself as you’re wearing it."
—Michaela [03:24]_

• Episode reference: "GSD Auras" in Episode 254.

3. The Yellow Aura Approach in Everyday Life

Organization and Preparation [10:41–14:07]

• "Tomorrow favors": Do things today that your future self will appreciate (e.g., prepping coffee, laying out clothes, making lunches).
  • Crowd favorites: Leah and Tessa’s advice got many upvotes from the group.
• Getting help: Yellows sometimes create visible lists for the whole household to share the load.
• Common yellow theme: “Get it done now” prevents feeling overwhelmed later.

Quote:
"Be your tomorrow self’s best friend."
—Leah, relayed by Michaela [11:19]_

Time Blocking and Routines [15:22–19:07]

• Time-blocking: Structuring the day in hour-by-hour chunks for calmness and productivity (e.g., 5–6am for self-care, 6–7am for breakfast, etc.).
• Allowing leeway: Consistency over perfection—routine matters more than doing things perfectly every day.

Quote:
"You don’t have to do it all perfectly, 110% every single day. You just need to be consistent."
—Jessica [18:09]

Lists, Alarms, and Life Systems [19:08–22:54]

• Lists for everything: Shopping, chores, project steps—be it digital (Google Calendar, Notes app) or literal paper.
• Color-coding events: Many yellows color-code their digital calendars.
• Alarms and reminders: Use phone alarms for transitions and tasks.

Quote:
"I have a list for everything in the notes app on my phone, to get all the chaos out of my brain."
—Rachel Crocker (as relayed by Michaela) [21:06]_

---

4. Motivational Yellow Energy & Common Struggles

• Motivation comes from action: For most yellows, motion, structure, activity = calmness and control.
• Pitfalls: Leaning too hard into yellow can lead to paralysis or burnout if things can’t be done “perfectly.”
• Soft landings: Yellows value ending the day with comforting rituals (TV, meditation, journaling).

Quote:
"No matter how the day went, I always end it in a way which feels calming and safe...organize my day to have a soft landing."
—Jessica [18:59]

5. Real-Life Yellow Life Hacks (Community Favorites)

Segment: Group Yellow Advice [10:42–26:27]

• Be your future friend: Prepare in advance for a smoother tomorrow.
• Shared lists: Display family to-do’s for communal accomplishment.
• Time blocking: Schedule blocks for everything—personal care, chores, tasks.
• Routine > Perfection: Commit to routines, not rigid perfection.
• Digital color-coding: Google Cal/Notes apps get personal color schemes.
• Top 3–5: Focus on your three to five priority tasks daily.
• Set timers/gamification: Make chores into time-bound games.
• Do dishes immediately: Don’t leave dirty things around (“Never have a dirty sink.”)
• A cluttered space = a cluttered mind: Physical chaos mirrors mental chaos.

Notable Walkthrough:

• "Martha Stewart Day": [26:33]
  CJ’s routine: Self-care, put on a cute/comfortable outfit, start a crockpot meal, tidy and organize, play music, clean until immaculate.

Quote:
"When the world crashes, the yellows don’t look like they went through it...Everyone’s like, how are you handling this so well?"
—Scotty [25:13]

• Empathy in action:
  Sometimes yellows become “hyper focused” and push aside empathy for the sake of efficiency but usually return to it after.

Quote:
"When I’m in a full blown yellow, I’m not mad at you or anyone. I’m just hyper focused...please do not stop me and explain a better way to do things...Let me plan and work."
—Ashley (as paraphrased by Michaela) [26:10]_

Transcript

[Michaela]

Foreign.

[Scotty]

Michaela spiritual family. Welcome to know your Aura with mystic Michaela. Today, live life like a yellow aura. We are doing a little series over here on know your aura podcast where we talk about the life hacks, life advice, and life inspiration from each aura color. Now on episode 309, we did our first installment of the series, live life like a purple aura. And today is yellow. And because I'm purple, I can't tell you when the next episode's going to be or which aura color it's going to be about, but here we are. Today is yellow. But first, hey, Scotty.

[Michaela]

Hey, guys. And I and I just want to tell the turquoises. Yeah, eventually there will be one that covers turquoise.

[Scotty]

Oh, yes.

[Michaela]

So we will not forget you. You might be last. Probably you're gonna be last. So what do you got another six colors to go before we get to you? And who knows how many episodes? Cause Mr. McHale just tells us we don't know how many episodes that's gonna

[Scotty]

be because if I commit to it, it won't happen. That is my purple problem. But Scott and I are not yellow auras.

[Michaela]

No, we're not.

[Scotty]

So of course we have reached out to the wonderful, beautiful, perfect mystic Michaela spiritual family over on the Facebook group. And that thread was. Was divine. Like, you want to change your life? Go read the yellow aura advice thread over there.

[Michaela]

Right? All right. Now, we've talked about yellows many, many times on this show.

[Scotty]

Yes.

[Michaela]

But let's just go yellow 101. Give us the basics of what's a yellow.

[Scotty]

Yellow auras are curious, self improvement, focused, organized individuals who love to learn, who find joy in. In the challenge of creating systems that make life flow and work better. They find organizing and moving things around and doing that, they find it aesthetically pleasing. They find it peaceful. They find it something that brings them comfort. I have a yellow aura. My stylist, my hairdresser, she's yellow aura. And she tells me her favorite thing in the whole world is when everyone leaves the house and she can deep clean. She puts on her music and she just goes after the baseboards. And I'm like, wow, that's not like I can't relate to that. But that is yellow aura behavior. And yellow auras usually have. They're not organized in every single facet of their life. Like sometimes I see yellow auras. They concentrate their organization on social, like their social calendars really together. But some their pantries really together, you know, or in some they have their spreadsheets totally worked out. With all their bills and stuff on the computer. So it really. It might be some place that you're yellow, even if other places you're not. If you are a yellow aura, if that makes sense.

[Michaela]

Okay, so now let's say there's someone like you.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

Who's purple and indigo.

[Scotty]

Yes.

[Michaela]

But if you listen to this podcast, you know, you get yourself around an airport travel day.

[Scotty]

Oh, yes.

[Michaela]

Some yellow might pop into your aura just a bit. Okay, so how do we. And I assume that's enough. We call that GSD Yellow. Inauthentic Yellow. I don't know what you call that, but inauthentic.

[Scotty]

Yes.

[Michaela]

So how do you know if you're an authentic yellow or you're just kind of wearing yellow inauthentically?

[Scotty]

And I did an episode about. We call them GSD auras. Get stuff done auras episode 254. I highly recommend you listening to that. Yeah. Because there's a difference. If you're wearing an inauthentic yellow aura or a GSD aura. The difference between being authentically yellow and just wearing that color to get you through something is that you're gonna feel anxiety, stress, exhaustion, and a distance from yourself as you're wearing it, if that makes sense. And also, it's usually put on you or it's something that you gather around yourself when you're doing something that's truly not joy inducing to you. It's more like something you have to. I just have to, like, suffer through this or I just gotta, like, plow through. Or I just gotta put on my big girl pants and just get it done. That is a feeling that's separate from yellow auras who on the daily have this type of organization and this type of flow worked into their life already where they don't feel. Feel anxious by it. Now we all have moments. Like, yellow auras can lean too much on their yellow, by the way, and then they can feel everything I just said. But it's just that it's the consistency factor. How consistent do you act this way and do you usually act this way in situate? Only in situations where you have to go deal with the 3D physical world that has systems in place that really don't align to you. But, you know, you have to deal with it. Like the DMV or like I, when I just registered my kid middle school, and I brought every single bill that I could think of, plus my passport to the school office.

[Michaela]

Right.

[Scotty]

Because I'm like, I don't know, knowing me, I'll forget something so I'm bringing everything, you know, like that.

[Michaela]

Yeah, I saw a little yellow emanating off of you.

[Scotty]

Oh, it comes off. Yeah. It definitely shows up in these moments.

[Michaela]

But I guess it worked because you were the most organized person there.

[Scotty]

I was.

[Michaela]

And you're purple.

[Scotty]

Indigo.

[Michaela]

Yeah.

[Scotty]

Because, you know, I get stuff done.

[Michaela]

Right.

[Scotty]

You. You know, and the difference between, like, inauthentic auras and get stuff done auras is that, like, I feel like when you have a GSD aura, it's. You've graduated.

[Michaela]

The books get all the books out. Book confirmations and the readings and all that. And I know when I'm talking to a yellow.

[Scotty]

Oh, yeah.

[Michaela]

It's like so. So evident right away immediately. Yeah. Like, if, you know, if I get, let's say, a big book. I just had a big. We had a decent sized book order, and it was with a yellow. I knew the person was yellow.

[Scotty]

So.

[Michaela]

Okay, I'll do this. We could get this done. Right. Because they had everyone's picture with their name, what book they wanted. Everything was just laid out so labeled, and it was so easy to do.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

You get a purple with a big book order and you might have a problem.

[Scotty]

Yeah, they're like, I gave you four

[Michaela]

pictures, three of the labels exactly the same. Like, you're wondering, is that that person? Wait, no, it's that person. There's no name on them.

[Scotty]

I know.

[Michaela]

They're like, you specifically.

[Scotty]

Specifically say no sunglasses. They're all in sunglasses, right? Yeah.

[Michaela]

They've listed, like, three books that they want, but you're not. Is it. What. What's my aura? Is it Book of signs?

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

Psychic Workbook. Which book do they want for this person?

[Scotty]

Yes.

[Michaela]

It could be a disaster.

[Scotty]

Well, and as a purple myself, I notice when I'm doing something I'm not familiar with, I do it all upside down, you know, and so I. We definitely love dealing with people that aren't yellow, obviously. But you can tell, like, when I'm reading somebody, like, let's say I'm in the middle of a reading, like a phone reading. This happens. Yeah, this happens all the time. And they forgot to include a picture of their dog, but their dog is, like, talking to him. Like, do you have a dog? Yeah, I have a dog. Like, your dog's talking to me. Do you have a photo? Because I need photos to, like, really do my best work. And if it's a yellow aura, all of a sudden, like, a photo just pops up on my phone or my email and I'm like, oh, wow. I Don't even know how they did that. I'm like, thanks. Okay, but if it's like a purple, I don't mean to pick on purples. They're so easy to pick on. Sorry, guys. But if it's like a purple, I can say it because I'm purple. They're like, oh yeah. And they're like scrolling. I can't find the right. Oh, what's your number? You know, and so you know the difference in that too.

[Michaela]

Look, you know the difference. When they call for the reading, okay, a yellow is going to call. They call like two minutes before the time. Like the time is 11:25, 11:23. That phone rings a purple. It could be 11:28. You don't know, it could be the next day. Oh, I didn't know.

[Scotty]

You're like, oh. Immediately I'm like, do you not know the time zone? I. I'll email them. I'm like, hey, baby, like the time zone. They're like, all the time zone. It's like, it's okay, right? So just little things like that, which I myself, I call them Meggie steaks because like I make them all the time.

[Michaela]

I call them Mickey Steaks.

[Scotty]

But. But yes, but today is about the yellows.

[Michaela]

Yes, we need to get life inspiration from the yellow auras. We're gonna take a quick break. When we come back, we're gonna consult our group, all the yellows in our group, to find out this info.

[Scotty]

Everyone is talking about them GLP ones. You know, they're so easy to get now.

Hey, Scotty.

[Michaela]

Hey, guys. All right, so you put up a post asking the yellows for, you know, advice. Done.

[Scotty]

Yes.

[Michaela]

That seems like the overall theme. Do you think that was kind of what you got?

[Scotty]

I noticed with yellows, they like to be on top of things, but I also notice with yellows, when they are leaning too much on their yellow, they feel like if they can't do something perfect, they won't do it at all.

[Michaela]

Yeah.

[Scotty]

And then they can kind of actually go backwards or get paralyzed in their processes. I notice that a lot with yellows, and I feel like a lot of this advice actually goes into like, nope, stay on top of it so you don't do that thing.

[Michaela]

Okay.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

All right, let's see what you have.

[Scotty]

All right, so my first one's from Leah. And this one got so many upvotes, so I had to pick this one. Do yourself quote tomorrow favors example, Set your coffee pot for tomorrow morning so all you have to do is hit brew when you wake up. Make your kids lunch the night before so there's no scrambling in the morning. Pick out tomorrow's outfit for you and your kids. When I look at laundry that needs to be put away, I think, let me do myself a favor. I'll appreciate tomorrow by doing it today. I always thank myself for my tomorrow favors. Makes for a smoother morning and day for all. And I love that. Yeah, I think that that's great advice. It's like, be nice. Be your. Be your tomorrow self best friend.

[Michaela]

Right. And I actually picked one that's similar. Tessa does the same thing. She said, prepare for the morning, the night before. Coffee has a mug in place. The beans are ready. Lunchbox are open and pre filled with perishables. Breakfast plates are preset. Clothes are laid out. That's a lot. Car keys by the door.

[Scotty]

That's a lot.

[Michaela]

Here's my disclaimer for the yellows and I think as we go through these.

[Scotty]

Right. Yes.

[Michaela]

These are all fantastic ideas.

[Scotty]

They are.

[Michaela]

They're great.

[Scotty]

It's a great idea.

[Michaela]

And, you know, when I. When actually I left the house to go to work, I would actually do. Do some of these things.

[Scotty]

Okay.

[Michaela]

But that was only because I wanted to sleep longer in the morning. Well, yeah, but I used to do. I used to put, like, the outfit. I was like, the biggest thing for me.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

Was to pick out the outfit I was gonna wear right. To work the next day. I hated doing that in the morning.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

Half asleep. I couldn't think of it.

[Scotty]

You know, iron a shirt in the morning, like, things like that.

[Michaela]

Right. And it would take forever. I'd be like, if I didn't have an outfit picked out the night before, before, it would take me like, 15 minutes to figure it out. But, yeah, if I had it out the night before, it saved me like, 15 minutes.

[Scotty]

Yes.

[Michaela]

So yellows, they come up with great ideas.

[Scotty]

That is a great idea.

[Michaela]

The only problem is sometimes as, I guess as a red and maybe you as a purple.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

You get rebellious against these ideas.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

And it's like, I kind of want to just, like, scurry around for my keys.

[Scotty]

Right.

[Michaela]

20 minutes.

[Scotty]

But I like her thought that. Yeah, I like that. I like these two thoughts where it's like, instead of getting rebellious, be like, hey, I have to be my own friend. Like, what would I even do for a friend? I'd make sure that their day was efficient and happy and comfortable. So it's kind of like looking. Maybe it's not. And this is like, more from your empath color, probably from your yellow aura. It's like, how can I be my friend tomorrow? So I guess, like, if you do get stuck in the rebelliousness, which I sure do. It's like, wait a second. Let's be nice to the me tomorrow who's gonna wake up and tired. I get that.

[Michaela]

All right.

[Scotty]

All right. So Elisa, she said, I'm going to say I really love this, and I'm going to do this. This is why I chose this yellows advice. I'm going to say the thing that we yellows have a hard time saying, and I'm ready for the down votes. Sometimes we need help. During these rare occasions, I make bigger to do lists with a marker, tape the list up where the whole family can see, and we complete. Complete the tasks together. I loved this because, like, before a trip, like, we just went, you know, to Buffalo, and, you know, I have to. I like to have the house because I want to be my friend when I get back and the house is clean. So, like, I'm kind of clean. I think I have to do everything myself.

[Michaela]

Right.

[Scotty]

But if I put that list up. And then she went on in the comments to say that everyone helps and they'll just check it off themselves. It's kind of like this natural, like, family thing. Like, bring the family into it. Like, let.

[Michaela]

Just. Cause it's the easiest to do.

[Scotty]

Sorry, purples.

[Michaela]

It could be any color, but we'll just say purple. The purple. Let's say the dish, you know, with the dishes.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

The purple might leave it for the next day or two hours later or whatever. Three hours later. The yellow is telling you, once you finish that meal.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

You get it done.

[Scotty]

Right. Right. Just get it done now.

[Michaela]

Right. So there's a lot of. That's a common theme with.

[Scotty]

That is a common theme.

[Michaela]

Get it done. We have. We have a version of that, too, which you're saying she has, like, a board and she loves the list. Our thing is every, like, few months, we just all freak out. Like, all right. Everybody's going to start doing things, and all of a sudden you see, like, the kids, you know, mopping.

[Scotty]

And we had.

[Michaela]

Cleaning the baseboards.

[Scotty]

It's true. We had a baseboard day. They were disgusting.

[Michaela]

It's not planned. It's just, like, one day we look around and we look at each other and we're like, all right, let's go.

[Scotty]

This is nasty.

[Michaela]

We're like, everybody on board.

[Scotty]

Like, I only am able to see dirt, like, maybe once every several months. And I'm like, oh, my God. I think we're supposed to be cleaning the doors.

[Michaela]

Right.

[Scotty]

And we haven't been.

[Michaela]

Once we get to that point, hopefully it's not today.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

But once we get to the point that we're just like. We are all hands on deck. Let's go.

[Scotty]

Yeah. Like, they probably think we're insane because they're just living their little kid life. And we're like, get downstairs.

[Michaela]

For two months and 29 days, nothing happened. But then that day, we're just like, okay, all right.

[Scotty]

All right. What do you got?

[Michaela]

Oh, it's my turn. Okay. All right. I have Annalisa, and she's for time blocking.

[Scotty]

Oh, this is interesting.

[Michaela]

Set your day up in chunks.

[Scotty]

Okay.

[Michaela]

Okay. So she has it down 5 to 6am get up. Exercise, shower and coffee.

[Scotty]

Okay.

[Michaela]

All right. Well. Right, there's a problem. I'm not getting up at 5.

[Scotty]

Well, this is about. You just read her time blocks.

[Michaela]

Okay. Six to seven, finish getting ready breakfast, get up, get the kids up and get them ready.

[Scotty]

Okay.

[Michaela]

Seven to eight, reset the house and out the door. Eight to nine, drop kids off, get to work. Set up your whole day like this. And it feels like a more calm situation. And you'll get things done.

[Scotty]

I like that. Well, I like that she makes the five to six. Like that's her time.

[Michaela]

Five to six. Yeah, but you got to get up at five.

[Scotty]

But I have noticed that Yellows will get up earlier to get stuff done. Like it's kind of like this quiet time before the rest of the house, like, needs you. Like, I do know. I, I noticed that in the comments a lot and I think that's it. It could be like a good tip from Yellows as well. It's like if you don't feel like you have enough time, make the time now you have to steal from sleep. But like, you know, maybe one outweighs the other sometimes. I thought that was. That's interesting.

[Michaela]

No, I think this is great advice.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

Just not for me.

[Scotty]

Right, of course.

[Michaela]

Yeah.

[Scotty]

But we can take little and the points of these episodes is we're going to take little tidbits, sibit for our life.

[Michaela]

Yeah.

[Scotty]

I like the time block every once in a while. Yeah.

[Michaela]

I wonder what would happen if you're true, like a real yellow and the workout goes to like 6:15. Oh, does that mess everything?

[Scotty]

That won't happen.

[Michaela]

It wouldn't happen.

[Scotty]

That's not done. They have a timer.

[Michaela]

But what if. Okay, so let's see. Now you're a purple and you're doing it. All right. You're like, I'm gonna do this and it's 5 to 6 and then it's like 6:15. Then that throws off the second one it does. Which is getting, you know, finishing, getting ready.

[Scotty]

I gave my daughter, like Brianna, our daughter is 17 and she's taking all these AP classes and she's constantly like stressed out. I'm telling the. You already know this, but I'm telling the viewer, the listeners this. And she was like, I have to do this. And she was getting overwhelmed. And because my inauthentic yellow and my friendship with many a yellow and my MMSF yellows knowledge all comes together. I told, I gave her like a time blocking idea for studying and she, she religiously uses that now.

[Michaela]

She does. Yeah.

[Scotty]

She puts like, okay, I am doing 20 minutes for chemistry. And then when the timer goes up, she is done. Like if she's in mid thought, she's done with that thought. And then she's 20 minutes for history. And so that has helped. And I see her doing it on her own now. So it gave her some sort of structure of feeling like I have control, I have comfort with the time blocking. So in that one context, I feel like that helps her. Yeah, but. But I feel like that's yellow advice.

[Michaela]

Yeah, that's good advice. Good advice.

[Scotty]

Jessica writes, this is more like. This is like a pep talk from the yellows. Okay, Pep talk for the yellows. Yeah. She writes, consistency over perfection. You don't have to do it all perfectly, 110% every single day. You just need to be consistent. For example, I have a consistent morning routine every day where I make my bed, do my skincare, make breakfast, go to the gym. Some days I have time for a full on breakfast, facial and hardcore workout, but some days it's just a 30 minute walk, a slab of moisturizer and a granola bar. But I'm still consistent in my routine. And she continues by saying, give yourself a soft landing. I always organize my day to have a soft landing at the end of the day. No matter how the day went, I always ended in a way which feels calming and safe. Whether it's watching TV under a blanket or my long hot shower, meditating, journaling, anything where I can forget about what I did or didn't do and just reset. I thought that was good.

[Michaela]

That's really good.

[Scotty]

Yeah. Like, so she does kind of the time blocking too, but she's not so rigid right. With it.

[Michaela]

There's a little leeway.

[Scotty]

Yes.

[Michaela]

Okay.

[Scotty]

All right, go ahead.

[Michaela]

What do you got? All right, I have Jan. Yeah, I know Jan. Lists, lists and more lists.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

And organize your next morning chores before.

[Scotty]

We love yellow's in the morning.

[Michaela]

Yeah.

[Scotty]

It seems like they have a thing for the morning guys ready that night before.

[Michaela]

But. But I, I don't know why. And yellows give me advice all the time.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

And they have like great advice.

[Scotty]

You love your yellows.

[Michaela]

They, you know, they would tell me. They always tell me. And I think I've already said this on the podcast. Like if I just created some spreadsheets, it would save me so much time.

[Scotty]

That is true.

[Michaela]

But I have like this weird index card method.

[Scotty]

That's what you do.

[Michaela]

Which is a mess. And I know it takes longer and

[Scotty]

you're the only one that knows it. Yeah, it's like a card catalog that only you created.

[Michaela]

And I'm never giving it up. Like no matter what technology comes out.

[Scotty]

Well, to do your organization like to find anything, you have to actually be you. You have to.

[Michaela]

We have lists for everything here, you know, because there's a lot of, you know, confirmations for the workshops and everything. Everything's on lists. But all the lists are on, like, paper.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

Like handwritten things and. Yeah. So yellow probably would be. This is insane people. And they would look at us like we're insane. And I would actually say, you're right, we are insane.

[Scotty]

Well, any list that you see a yellow's done for me.

[Michaela]

Like, for example, like an organized list.

[Scotty]

An organized list. Like the. Thank you, Dr. Shelby. I call her. She's boutique book nooks on IG. She made an aura sheet with every celebrity I've ever mentioned. Like so. And it's like searchable. And so you can go in there and just like, people are like, they can operate it themselves. I could never have made that. She did that. And awesome. You know, Rachel Crocker here, she gave actual, like life hack advice, which I like, live for this stuff. When. When a yellow tells you, like their life tip or their life hack, listen. All right, so she gave a bunch. I use my Google calendar on the month setting. I don't know what that means. And events are color coded based on if it's personal, work related, doctor appointment, etc. Only yellows are doing this. And I really, I know this about this. They color code. They're like online calendars. I also put them as an all day event, then put the time of the event in the beginning of the title so that I can see everything each day throughout the month. I have two to three jobs plus grad school, so this is a must. All right, she's got another one. Lists. I have a list for everything in the notes app on my phone to get all the chaos out of my brain. Yeah, outsource the chaos, put it on a notes app. I get that. Alarms. I use alarms on my phone as reminders. For example, one alarm for where I need to get ready for appointment, another for when I need to leave an alarm for me to call somewhere for something, etc. Here's mornings. I do a quick morning cleanup each day where I pick up from the night before to help me mentally set up for the day. Even though I actually do hate cleaning pets, I keep a note on the fridge marking the date when I give my dogs their monthly medicare medicine and when the next one is needed. And then she says, follow the big three or big five method where you know what the top three to five things are. You have to do that. Are time sensitive. And get those done first. I feel like I do these things. Like, I do that one. That last one.

[Michaela]

Yeah.

[Scotty]

But, like, sporadically. And only when I'm, like, really stressed out. Like, oh, my God. Like, I'm about. I've overwhelmed. I've procrastinated, and now it's like, call the doctor. Did it. Like, that kind of thing.

[Michaela]

Well, that's. Yeah, we have that day, too.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

It's called the doctor day.

[Scotty]

Oh, yes. There's baseball day, and then there's doctor Your doctor day.

[Michaela]

And I'm like, no, no. Everyone gets, like, their appointments all made, and it's. It's like a whole day of just you making everyone's appointments.

[Scotty]

It's an awful day. It's a terrible day.

[Michaela]

I'm like, leave me out of that day.

[Scotty]

But Dr. Day.

[Michaela]

Doctor. There's doctor right now that. It's interesting. As we go through this, we actually see what we're doing.

[Scotty]

Right.

[Michaela]

Probably doing.

[Scotty]

We could just spread it out and give ourselves less stress.

[Michaela]

Right. All right, so Madison writes, when she needs to get stuff done, she sets a timer.

[Scotty]

Okay.

[Michaela]

That's another common theme. Alarms, timers. Bells whistle.

[Scotty]

Yeah. The time blocking.

[Michaela]

I'll set a timer and see how much I can get done before the timer goes off. And also helps to be like a game.

[Scotty]

Like. All right.

[Michaela]

I could see, like, kind of a red getting behind that advice a little bit. All right, let's see. Set my timer. Yeah. 50 minutes.

[Scotty]

That's what you do with, like, little kids, too.

[Michaela]

Yeah.

[Scotty]

Like, I'm. I'm setting the timer. Let's see how quick we can get the toys cleaned up like that.

[Michaela]

She's yellow. Indigo.

[Scotty]

Okay.

[Michaela]

Okay, that makes sense.

[Scotty]

I like that one.

[Michaela]

And I'll just do another one. Again, this one. Also piggybacking. Stephanie K. Is writing, do those dishes immediately.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

Make sure they're in the dishwasher. At the very least, get them in the dishwasher. Dirty things around. Suck out your mentality.

[Scotty]

Yeah, that's true.

[Michaela]

Interesting.

[Scotty]

Yeah. Chaotic. That is true. Your mindset. Can't everyone look around themselves right now? Because, like, what you're looking at is your mindset. It's a direct reflection of how your mind is. So right now, we're recording at a podcast table with 4 billion tiny, random things on it that we have not dealt with.

[Michaela]

Exactly. Okay, I got a broken light bulb.

[Scotty]

Yeah. I have a deflated rubber duck. I don't know where that came from.

[Michaela]

I got a shipment of books that have to go out. I got a Weird black thing with.

[Scotty]

That's an outdated charger for a phone that I probably should throw out, but I feel bad about throwing out. Okay. So, yeah, that's what I mean. So, like, your. It is true. Like, clutter is your mindset. Yes, that's true. That's like, just, like, spiritual, too.

[Michaela]

Yeah, that's great. And never have a dirty sink. Never have a dirty floor. And when you get up, you make your bed right away.

[Scotty]

I'm going to tell you something. If there's an apocalypse, yellows, they vacuumed, right? Okay.

[Michaela]

Like. Like aliens. Like, you see them in space with their ships.

[Scotty]

Guess what?

[Michaela]

They're still going to get the vacuum out.

[Scotty]

They will abduct you looking at your clean floorboards. Okay. Like, when the world crashes, the yellows don't look like they went through it. They might feel like they did, but they don't look like they did. Everyone's like, how are you handling this so well?

[Michaela]

So alien invasion is eminent. Still going to mop the floor.

[Scotty]

You're a yellow if you. If we live in Florida, so if there's a hurricane coming, you know, you're a yellow if you're like, oh, I'm going to vacuum everything.

[Michaela]

I don't know.

[Scotty]

Like, that's a. Yeah, just yellows. Know what I'm talking about?

[Michaela]

Yeah.

[Scotty]

And they're like, doesn't everyone? No. All right. Ashley kind of just started doing. I thought this was just funny, so I'm just gonna read it. All right. She's just like, saying that she drops empathy sometimes to be in the survival mode. Okay. Meaning that, like, yellow is her only color present sometimes she feels. So her biggest thing is that when I'm in a full blown yellow, I'm not mad at you or anyone. I'm just hyper focused. I might get slightly perturbed if you get in the way, but I look a lot more annoyed than I actually am. Also, please do not stop me and explain a better way to do things, especially if you are mal and need to mansplain, because then I will get annoyed. I will coldly dismiss you until I process it and then maybe agree with you later. It's best to step away and let me plan and work. I'm not seeing the big picture and my mind is hyper focused. My empathy will come back. So I feel like yellows can sound you. You know, So I just thought that was interesting.

[Michaela]

All right.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

Yeah, that's good. All right. This will be my last one. It's a long one, so I'm just going to paraphrase. It.

[Scotty]

Okay.

[Michaela]

So CJ writes about having what she calls a Martha Stewart Day.

[Scotty]

Oh.

[Michaela]

And she has organized this day very well.

[Scotty]

Okay.

[Michaela]

It's very nice and tidy in paragraph form, and. Which is very interesting. So the first thing you do on your Martha Stewart Day is you wash your face, you do your hair, you shower, you put on all the lotions.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

I don't know the lotions and potions. She writes, keep your skin looking good. Get a cute outfit on. Cozy outfit.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

She tells you actually what you should be wearing, like what kind of sweats and everything. Put on some perfume. The point is that you feel and look amazing and. And you're comfortable.

[Scotty]

Yes.

[Michaela]

Okay. So that. That gets it started. Then you got to make a meal.

[Scotty]

Okay.

[Michaela]

All right. Take out your crock pot. This is crock pot time.

[Scotty]

Crock pot time.

[Michaela]

So you're doing a crock pot meal.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

Then while that's like cooking, you know, or you're making your chicken noodle soup or whatever you want to be making, then you have to tidy up the house.

[Scotty]

Okay.

[Michaela]

And while you tidy up the house, you listen to your favorite music.

[Scotty]

Okay.

[Michaela]

Taylor Swift would be a good one.

[Scotty]

Okay. All right. Yeah.

[Michaela]

Then you organize, do some organizing, decorating project, something like that. Rearranging.

[Scotty]

I need a nap.

[Michaela]

Cleaning to the point where the space is immaculate.

[Scotty]

Oh, okay.

[Michaela]

All these things you do. And she gives you the step by step to have a Martha Stewart Day.

[Scotty]

A Martha Stewart Day. That sounds so much good advice. Over on the. On the thread, I'm going to end it with advice my yellow grandma always gave me, which is not unlike Martha Stewart Day a little bit. She said, every morning especially. Especially on the mornings where you're feeling down or you don't want to do something, go put on red lipstick. And that was her way of saying, once you put on that lipstick and, you know, obviously do your hair and make it like, you know, make yourself feel good. Get out of the house.

[Michaela]

Was she yellow?

[Scotty]

Yes. Yeah, she was yellow. And it was like, get out of the house. And now there's always something to do. You know, there's always something to do. There's always somewhere to go, get moving like that. And that was her way of being like. Motion is for her. And I think for a lot of yellows, motion and activity and purpose is a feeling of calmness and a feeling of control over one's life. But I love my yellows. I always say my good friends have always been yellow auras. I find them to be so compassionate and empathetic in Action. You know, they show up. They always show up. And if you're yellow, I hope you understand how you showing up is. You know, I see the work behind that. And, you know, and you. You should see the work behind that too, because that's not easy.

[Michaela]

All right? And to my double empath friends who might be very overwhelmed, they're like, whoa, wait, I can't do this. I can't do this. I'm having a panic attack. Yeah, that's okay, too.

[Scotty]

Yeah, it's okay. Just go listen to the purple one where we basically say it's okay to just lay around.

[Michaela]

309. Episode 309.

[Scotty]

Episode 309.

[Michaela]

You'll be fine.

[Scotty]

We're going to give you totally opposite advice now. What do you do for yellow purple aura? Huh? You listen to both.

[Michaela]

Wow. Quick overtime.

[Scotty]

Yeah, overtime. Let's do overtime. Rules of overtime. You can go now. We strongly recommend that you do go now.

[Michaela]

This is actually. This is a more tame one. There's no Jumanji in any of this. Right. So it's a tame overtime.

[Scotty]

Everybody just left.

[Michaela]

Yeah, they did. We're talking to ourselves.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

All right, so what's it. What do we want to do? What do I do for overtime?

[Scotty]

Okay, so over time. So on episode 309, which was live life like a purple aura, we talked about how we fixed the fridge.

[Michaela]

Yes, we did.

[Scotty]

And we are like. We felt such a rush of, like, self esteem. Esteem and accomplishment. And like, talk about a vibration raise.

[Michaela]

Yes.

[Scotty]

And. And so crazy enough just in time for Live life like a yellow aura. We just fixed another major appliance.

[Michaela]

Right. And I have made a pact. It's like a. An oath. An oath. A blood oath.

[Scotty]

It's a blood oath.

[Michaela]

There's nothing stronger in my life than this oath.

[Scotty]

You sliced open your palm as you said it.

[Michaela]

I don't even know if our wen vowels are this strong. Okay. This is how strong this is.

[Scotty]

Like red or oath.

[Michaela]

Yes, the. And this all. And you know this if you've listened to the podcast.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

I paid $212 to have someone come to my house and tell me to defrost the fridge.

[Scotty]

He'll never get over it. And the shame, embarrassment.

[Michaela]

There will never, ever be. There will never, ever be another appliance repairman in my home. Never going to happen. It's never gonna happen. There's either two things that are gonna happen. One, I'm gonna fix it. And that's what I'm trying to do. I'm gonna fix it.

[Scotty]

Okay?

[Michaela]

And if I Can't fix it. I'm just getting into one.

[Scotty]

Right.

[Michaela]

I don't care. I know it's, like, wasteful. I know it's horrible. I know it's wasting money. I don't care. There will never. I will never have the feeling again of a repairman coming to my house, doing something so simple, and then charging me an absorbent amount of money.

[Scotty]

This is some redora resolve.

[Michaela]

That's. Yeah.

[Scotty]

That's a red or a rant. Because of a red or a rip off.

[Michaela]

Yeah. So from that $212, there's good news. I got my new spirit guide, Mikey.

[Scotty]

Mikey from New York. Yeah.

[Michaela]

And I now fix everything in the house. Yeah.

[Scotty]

Mikey's like, he's really come through for you.

[Michaela]

Yeah. So the other night we're just, you know, relaxing. We actually just had gotten home from a trip.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

And of course, you know, we're doing the wash and put the clothes in the dryer, and then all of a sudden we hear. I don't.

[Scotty]

I hear like a boom. And I'm like, that doesn't sound good.

[Michaela]

I'm like, oh, it's nothing.

[Scotty]

And I'm like, I don't know. So I go upstairs and immediately I. I just figured out something. I'm like, something's wrong with the dryer.

[Michaela]

Something's wrong with the dryer.

[Scotty]

I'm like an appliance psychic. Because I, like. Immediately I'm like you. I know nothing about appliances. I am girly purple. When I'm like, I'm out like that. But immediately I'm like, belt broke. How did I know that?

[Michaela]

Dryer belt?

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

I don't know.

[Scotty]

I'm like, dryer bell, bro.

[Michaela]

I don't know how you do that.

[Scotty]

And you're. And I'm like, I don't know. I'm like, I feel like we need to. I made the mistake of saying I feel like I need to get somebody just to come and do the belt, probably.

[Michaela]

And then he lost. You heard the speech. There will be no. We are gonna fix this ourselves or I'm going to Home Depot right now and buying a new one.

[Scotty]

It's like an address on a hill. You were just like, so you shall not pass.

[Michaela]

So now we do have help from YouTube. That's our source. We. You get all these weird YouTube videos that these people are, like gifts from the heavens.

[Scotty]

Who are these angels?

[Michaela]

Angels.

[Scotty]

Who is Bill, the angel from Canada who know greed? Bill, who, for whatever got into him one day and he decided to make, just for fun, a YouTube video. About the Kenmore Series 100 dryer belt replacement.

[Michaela]

Right. And of course, the first thing he says, you're not. And I can't even believe it. You're gonna need a nut driver. You need a nut driver. And I'm like, holy crap.

[Scotty]

We just need a flip.

[Michaela]

We did not learn from the first time.

[Scotty]

Yeah. We never.

[Michaela]

We bought the nut driver.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

You know what? The first thing I did, I bought a nut. I finally own A nut driver. A 516 nut driver.

[Scotty]

516 nut driver.

[Michaela]

It took me this many years on to be on this planet, but I now own a 516 nut driver. Is my most prized possession worth the 6 bucks? The best 6 bucks I ever spent. Yeah, I. You know, I did the fridge. We did. We did the refrigerator pair without a 16 15. 5 16.

[Scotty]

Yeah. We're a team.

[Michaela]

It was a pain.

[Scotty]

We're a team.

[Michaela]

I'm gonna tell you, this nut driver works wonders. You just turn it a couple times like butter. Like, the screw comes out. It saves so much time.

[Scotty]

I mean, we're so fascinated by this regular people stuff.

[Michaela]

Right.

[Scotty]

I feel like this is very green, and we're not green, you know?

[Michaela]

Yeah.

[Scotty]

And you're like red or. I think a lot of red ores know how to do this kind of stuff naturally, too, but just from your upbringing, I don't feel like you had that type of training. No, you're open to it. You're open to it.

[Michaela]

I want to do it. I just never had no one, ever. Yeah.

[Scotty]

I'd love to put you as an apprentice with Bill from Canada.

[Michaela]

I would.

[Scotty]

The YouTube guy.

[Michaela]

I would enjoy that. And the thing is, you know why? The other part about this that's so great is I have no fear anymore.

[Scotty]

No.

[Michaela]

Because if it doesn't work, it's just going in the trash. I don't care. But nobody's coming to this house. So if we mess up, I'm like, all right, it's gonna be bought, and that's it. And I. Yeah, I know that's wasteful, and I know that's horrible. It's like wasting money. And I don't like to do that either.

[Scotty]

It's awful.

[Michaela]

But I'd rather do that than have someone come to my house. But all right.

[Scotty]

Anyway, long story short, we took this whole dryer apart. We take this apart, which, by the way, dryers are crazy, man.

[Michaela]

There's a huge drum in there.

[Scotty]

That's nuts.

[Michaela]

Who knew?

[Scotty]

And the belts are, like, really thin and wimpy.

[Michaela]

Who knew? Like, this one little belt, like, makes that thing turn so many times.

[Scotty]

It's really tiny. It's like a shoelace.

[Michaela]

Yeah, it's like a shoelace.

[Scotty]

It's insane.

[Michaela]

Like a rubber. It's like rubber, though, right?

[Scotty]

Yeah. And I'm not, like, strong enough to do it, but I'm good at, like, the instructions.

[Michaela]

Yeah, you're good at the instructions.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

And then.

[Scotty]

And kind of like. Yeah. Maneuvering.

[Michaela]

Maneuvering things and then figuring out. And then I'll take over and I'll, like. Because, like, sometimes you need to, like, pull it a certain way. Force something there or force the door open. I'm good at that.

[Scotty]

Yeah. Good at that.

[Michaela]

I'm good at forcing.

[Scotty]

We're kind of like.

[Michaela]

Although they say never forcing.

[Scotty]

Tweedledee and Tweedledum fixing appliances.

[Michaela]

When you take the. When you take the dryer drum, like, once you take the door off, the dryer drum just falls off.

[Scotty]

Just falls off.

[Michaela]

It's not even attached anymore, you guys.

[Scotty]

It's like, who.

[Michaela]

What? Green came up with a system where a dryer. The dryer drum isn't attached to the machine.

[Scotty]

But I need to tell you guys something. Like, replacing a dryer belt isn't that hard. I don't want to, like, downplay our success, but it wasn't that bad. But when we got it going.

[Michaela]

Oh, my gosh.

[Scotty]

And we, like, we, like, first try.

[Michaela]

First try.

[Scotty]

We high fived. Like, we, like running. Chest bump. Yeah. The kids are like, okay.

[Michaela]

It worked because, like, Bill said, like, sometimes you.

[Scotty]

Bill, he's like my best friend.

[Michaela]

He said sometimes people mess it up. You know, Sometimes people lose a screw.

[Scotty]

Oh, yeah.

[Michaela]

We. We came up with systems.

[Scotty]

Well, he was really good at being like, hey, don't just.

[Michaela]

Yeah.

[Scotty]

Before you do this, don't do that. Which, honestly. Thank you, Bill from YouTube.

[Michaela]

Yeah.

[Scotty]

Because everything he said don't do, I was about to do.

[Michaela]

We were going to do all those things. But the thing is, we do these things step by step. We stop the video. We do, like, we turn. We take out a screw. Stop the video. Take out a screw. Yeah, stop. You know, stop pictures. Take the door off.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

We do everything, everything, everything. There's always one thing we mess up.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

Like, we forgot to take. When we did the fridge, we forgot to take the picture of how things go back together.

[Scotty]

So I was like, the fridge was more. That was more complicated. Dryer's not that bad so far. Knock on wood.

[Michaela]

We did. We did real well.

[Scotty]

Well, we just had to share with you guys how awesome.

[Michaela]

If anyone. Look, if anyone. You know, we'll do this for people, too. It doesn't have to be on our stuff. We will help you. Or we're going to break it and it'll never be able to be fixed.

[Scotty]

Yeah. We also break things. Successful. Yes. Yeah.

[Michaela]

Either way, you're gonna win.

[Scotty]

Yeah.

[Michaela]

Yeah.

[Scotty]

All right. We just had to share that with you because, you know, you guys are proud of us.

[Michaela]

Yep. I think we're more proud of ourselves.

[Scotty]

We're really proud of ourselves.

[Michaela]

Like, if. I don't know if you have many green guys listening, but if there are, they're probably. I did that in two minutes.

[Scotty]

I know. Like, who else do you brag to about this? Like, we. We stopped hyping ourselves up and now we had to make it in overtime.

[Michaela]

Yeah. Hopefully nothing else goes, though.

[Scotty]

Stop.

[Michaela]

Okay.
