It looks like there are kitchen drawers right next to your work desk. Could you consolidate some other kitchen supplies so you could use those drawers for your office supplies? ☺️

Highly recommend getting one of those little silicon scrubbers for washing your makeup brushes! It's minimal, so helpful, and lasts forever :)

I’m so happy for you guys!! 🌷 Long time follower here. I’m sorry if I missed it but what city did you move to from Ottawa? I also did a bit of a journey from Victoria back to Toronto so I can relate!

Such a beautiful new space!!

I so loveeeee GCal! Been using it as my digi-planner and organizer for over a decade. ❤❤❤

Everything you share hast been so helpful. Thank you for your work! I'm going to work less, which means a lower wage, yes. But this will give me back my freedom and my peace of mind. ❤

Jamie Oliver’s Chicken and Milk. It’s a simple dish but taste DIVINE!!!!! If you want to get fancy you can do a bone in lamb roast. It’s really easy. Pat the roast dry. Pour 1/4 cup of olive oil, couple of tablespoons of fresh chopped rosemary and 4 cloves of minced garlic in a bowl and mix. Spread the mixture all over the roast and then heavily salt and pepper it. Throw it in the over at 450 for about an hour or until the internal temperature reaches 145. You can also throw some baby potatoes beneath the lamb and then all you have to do is come up with a vegetable! Hope these help!! 🙌😂

Love that you’re comfortable being human. 💕 Gorgeous space. So happy for you.

I can relate to that very much...

I use a small rolling cart next to my desk for supplies. I don’t have drawers either. It works well and I just push it under the desk at the end of the day. It forces me to be minimal and tidy since it isn’t hidden in a cabinet. Efficient too.

I am 66 and am retired and am close to,ditching my car. I live in a modest town with good public transportation and I would rather spend that money on experiences.

Your new place is so nice! I had a very minimal desk and traded it out for a desk with drawers and a panel across the back that we already had. Even though it's technically bulkier, it conceals cords and reduces clutter on top of the desk. If you don't want to buy a new desk, the Alex drawer unit from Ikea is a popular storage option.

What books that help with cycle syncing would you recommend? Tank you:)

Thanks for this Anika, i am 51 years old and have struggled in a cycle of burnout and recovery. I am going through the process of resetting my relationship with Technology as that's been a constant challenge. Rest and peace is so important and finding a pace which is manageable. Glad i stumbled on your channel.

I don't have a "morning" routine exactly. I'm a third shifter so my "morning routine" for 7am-2pm is to sleep lol. But I'm a creature of habit so I have a "wake up" routine. I have to shower, have coffee, and eat some sort of breakfast. If I haven't done those three things, I'm not going anywhere/being productive. I also try to tidy up my space a much as I can before I walk out the door or do things I can do WHILE walking out the door. I unload the clean dishes I put in the dishwasher the night before, take out the trash, and before I come home I stop at the mailbox to pick up my mail.

Flowers in a teapot is actually a great idea! I found this really cute ceramic creamer pour at the thrift shop, which was green with clovers and flowers all over it, and used it to hold all my makeup brushes. I have another mug with tropical prints that I use for my scissors and pens/stationary items. If it's cute and it works, why not? 🤷‍♀️

I just found your channel and this is me in every way. Trying to find who I I’m and living a more slow life. Can’t wait to see some of your other videos. Christie

In 2017 I tried and failted twice to take my life, and then experienced heavy alcohol abuse that turned into full vlown alcoholism. Recovery from that period of life FORCED me to slow down. I was forced to go on medical leave (a blessing in disguise), forced into intensive outpatient therapy, forced to slow down. It felt life ending. I mean, my life DID end. But now in 2024, my life is drastically for the better in most ways and its because I allowed myself to slow down. And the slow life that I have now, although embarrasingly humble, is no longer one that I want to end.

You're fire girl!😍

You should talk a lil bit slower next time.

I've just started my journey to slow living and I'm slowly noticing positive changes! Thanks for this video ❤

Thank you❤ i feel the same as you!

I really like your style and agree with your quit-list. Tired of being a slave to a phone. Avoid fast foods like the toxins most are; still working on reducing clothing options and curate a simply quality closet.

I am not a long subscriber of your channel but since I found you I feel so in peace when watchin your videos. It's like I get out of my daily life watchin your video and feelin inspired to keep going even when it feels hard on some days. Thank you so much for being so vulnerable and honest about everything and sooo inspiring. I hope all the best for your new start and the best move in your new home <3

My morning routine is dope. I drink coffee and read for a hour or two, then brush my teeth and go to work.

I'm so happy for you! And can't wait to see the new apartment. This video was perfectly timed as I start my first full week with a new job.

All the best Anika! I would suggest you incorporating meditation in your daily routine. Just search inner engineering online and you'll thank me later💙 Welcome to the new chapter 😉🙏🏻

Just halfway through the video and relating to every bit of it. Thanks for the video Anika! 💙🙏🏻 Love from India

Hope you have a great move. I love your video's!

The best thing you can do is become homeless. When you have nothing there is nothing to worry about.

pure compassion is the door to self realisation self liberation , awakening

Would love to see a summer capsule tour!

All the best Anika! This year is also a starting over for me at 37. I quit my job and I will make content for youtube full time.

OMG you are SPEAKING MY LANGUAGE. I feel better knowing someone else FEELS the same way I feel. I am a Single Mom and my biggest hurdle is getting my kid to school on time and he gives me a hard time almost every single morning which throws me off + with juggling so much right now while I do Gig Work / Freelance work while looking for a full time job -I can't seem to get into a strict routine. I recently started finding as many Slow Productivity videos just to ease the way I feel when I can't get everything done because I have so much to do! Things popping up going wrong, one time deadlines + upkeep of my body, skin, my household = it's all driving me nuts in my daily life. It's too much and life is burning me out already. It's only when I work for someone else with that structured full time job I can put everything else in my life naturally at a routine. My days are NOT the same. If i suddenly get an Etsy order - that is my first priority to get it to the post office THAT DAY so I can keep my Seller Status in good standing. Somedays I get out and do Gig Work first thing in my day, while other days I need a full day to relax a little into content creation and being on a laptop most of the day. I too have reached a point where I will ditch my huge To Do List for a simple post it! Just b/c sometimes it gives me ANXIETY to see anymore than 2 or 3 things to do THAT DAY.

You are a story teller. 😊 keep up the good work.

Can’t wait to see what comes next!

You are so inspiring to me. Thank you for making these videos ❤

Looking forward to a tour of your new digs.

I honestly thought you were a natural red head! My husband has red hair and your color looks really natural

Sigh. Here we go again.

I. So. Needed to hear this❤ you have no idea

I’m so happy you can realign from your external space outward and inward… if that makes sense?! 😁

So happy for you both 🥰

I can really relate to this so much! Congratulations on the move and here’s to more adventures and personal growth in the days ahead. 🤗

Lately, I've been contemplating retirement, uncertain whether my 401(k) and IRA will ensure a secure future. I've also invested $800K in the stock market, experiencing fluctuations without substantial gains.

Congratulations on your new apartment!☺

So happy for you guys!!! ❤

First ❤😊

Hello dear Anika :) What is your favorite Doom weapon?
