It really is a kind thing to do for yourself

[@susan5661]

Great suggestion to take social media apps off phone. I am going to do this and keep only on my tablet to look at once a day. Simple living is so wonderful

[@jennieadlam6005]

I was totally mesmerized by your art work behind you. Its gorgeous. To me it looked like heaven & earth. Your very talented 🤩 xx

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you so much 😀

[@sonohrina2012]

Your ways actually worked for me at first I was skeptical not doing laundry everyday sounded weird but it works so all for me

[@keylalipo7778]

Oh man I used to have a cow whenever someone would break something. But like you, now I'm like "it's not a big deal". 😀

[@shannontorrens1]

I was the same way! Finding minimalism has made me change the way I think about everything.

[@keylalipo7778]

@Mary Doyle 😄

[@vazlet]

Shannon Torrens Same here! With a 1 & 4 yr old, it's expected, and there's no point in getting upset. Actually now I see it as, one more thing that's gone from the house! 😂. Lety from Chicago

[@diannemaloney5501]

Tip 1: Do More of What we Love : this was mind-blowing for me, but so true. I really need to start asking myself if I really like whatever I am doing, and if not, then why am I spending so much time and energy on it. Thanks for Tip 1.

[@shannontorrens1]

I found focusing more on what I love to do really helped me streamline everything I do. I am so happy this tip might help you as well.

[@klarab84]

I Agree in all the tips! The recycling bin is a treasure for my kids, they use the things to build all kinds of “inventions”, by using scissors and a glue gun. (Plus, nice to see you mum, I really enjoyed the videos you made together! Trying to help my mum declutter (well, before COVID and hopefully soon again...) those videos were so fun !) /Klara, from Sweden

[@shannontorrens1]

Yes the recycling stuff is always fun for crafts and building. I am so happy you like the videos with my mom, we need to do more decluttering at her house. I hope you have a nice day.

[@emilywoods4869]

When a dish breaks now, my immediate reaction is, “oh well, one less thing to declutter!” 😅

[@simplesgood7694]

Hi Shannon, I’m trying to give our main bathroom a quick clean every 3 days or so. I really don’t like cleaning the bathroom. This way I never have to clean a really dirty bathroom. It’s really working for me. I definitely try not to sweat the small stuff. Life is just too short. I would like not sweat even the bigger stuff eventually It just doesn’t help!!!!

[@shannontorrens1]

That is a great idea! I can't stand cleaning the bathrooms too, it is my least favorite chore LOL.

[@OrganizedWithJoy]

Great tips Shannon! I love the tip to have a list of groceries that you buy every week! That is so smart. A long time ago when I actually grocery shopped myself (I do curbside pick up now) I had a spreadsheet of all the foods we bought typed out in the order of our grocery store layout and kept it on our kitchen counter and would highlight things as we ran out of them. That system worked well for a long time, but it makes sense to keep the list digitally!

[@shannontorrens1]

That is a great idea to have the list in the order of the store! Wow, that probably saves the headache of searching the aisles.

[@Mrssupermumm]

You said you don't sweat the small stuff, that's so true and such a great feeling, this morning I broke a glass, long story but it really didn't register how unbothered I was, hearing you say this reminded how lucky I am to be at this point. Thank you. X

[@shannontorrens1]

It feels great to be at that point where little things just don't matter =)

[@amysho2192]

These were perfect!!! Love all these ideas. Thanks for sharing the wisdom!

[@heatherf1159]

Great video again Shannon! Thanks for the helpful tips. Have a great day!

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you! You too!

[@cynthia6055]

Beautiful top on you Shannon and wonderful tips for all. Thanks so much! Happy new week ahead!

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you! You too!

[@nikkiperdiz7058]

I love this video! Would love to see more finance related videos, as well as maybe some for the mommies on here! I love your content 💕

[@shannontorrens1]

Great idea!!

[@samantharowley125]

Good ideas Shannon! Pretty thorough list. Been doing similar things too. With repainting my kitchen cabinets, I have found many items to declutter. Always an eye opener on the amount of items we own.

[@shannontorrens1]

That is great! I hope you have a nice day.

[@janjentz1053]

Thanks for sharing. All good tips. Hope you and the boys are having a great start with the homeschool year.

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you Jan, we are doing ok with school so far. It's going to be a learning process for all of us lol

[@SriYukteswarGiri]

Hello Shannon, THANK YOU for your helpful tips. The video format is great, so you can memorize the individual tips very well and illustrate them nicely. Love from Germany Bavaria

[@shannontorrens1]

Glad it was helpful!

[@LibbyWithnall]

I'm the same with shopping. I used to do so much (partly to escape the home mess when the kids were young) but these days I only enjoy shopping when on vacation (when I can vivsit differeent stores to what I have at home.

[@shannontorrens1]

Thanks for sharing!! I agree about shopping on vacation, even if I don't buy anything sometimes it is fun to see what different cultures are selling.

[@nelipopova1030]

I love your channel, can’t stop watching

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you Neli !

[@j.m.7056]

I am going to list each of these on a sticky to post inside a cabinet. Quick, easy, and instant gratification. BTW, your hair looks super in this video and the dark top looks great too!

[@shannontorrens1]

Yay! Thank you!

[@NancyHaydee23]

Great tips!! Thank you!

[@shannontorrens1]

Glad it was helpful!

[@happycrazyfun5883]

Great ideas! Thanks!

[@shannontorrens1]

Thanks for watching!

[@DimiGiota530]

I find your videos very helpful . thank you for sharing your ideas . take care :)

[@shannontorrens1]

So nice of you

[@mirelaxo]

Great video. Love the top you are wearing. It really compliments your eyes

[@shannontorrens1]

Oh thank you!

[@rebeccarendle3706]

So agree.. I hate shopping.. Have since about 20yrs.. I just find it stressful. Even food shopping.. Which I now only do once a month max! I am still decluttering home.. Hard with kids changing age and then needing new rooms, and separating 18yrs marriage stuff.. But getting there.. Been doing it since Jan 17.. Now on round 3-5 in some areas. I do that to.. Clean as you go.. Then not to overwhelming or time consuming. And have 1-2 days for washing! Clothes I have various sizes.. Due to burn out and depression weight is up and down.. So keep in boxes.. And only what I fit in out in wardrobe. Decor is hard.. I have so much from travels.. Love it all. I have done that with groceries.. A list I reuse. I used the system from "do it on a dime" you tuber.. I have 2 file boxes per kid with memory stuff from birth to 20yrs old.. Easy for them to take when they leave home. Their toys they have to decide.. Hope it won't be to much! Great summary!.. Yes. I have reached that point with things breaking.. It's great! Very freeing mindset! Thanks Shannon.. Super video!

[@Carolmaizy]

I follow the Fly Lady routines, modified to suit my apartment and my lifestyle. I do quick 10 or 15 minute cleanups, often, so the house is never messy. I also declutter as needed, and the longer I get into the habit of doing it, the less I find to get rid of or organize. Check her out !

[@julie9475]

Hahah I know that tree at 00:33! I had to go run and tell my husband lol

[@GemShob]

What phone case do you use ? Thanks and also love your content and videos so inspiring ❤

[@shannontorrens1]

Thank you! I have added a link in the description box to the exact case. =)

[@e.krams7777]

Hi Shannon! Thank you for the tips! I'm curious how you took KZbin off your phone. Did you disable it? Thanks so much!

[@shannontorrens1]

Hello, I just took the YT app off my phone. If really wanted to go onto YT I could still go online and go there, but I am way less likely to do that. =)

[@loraraicheva3644]

In order to not have this much free time while at home with my son, because it makes my anxiety grow, I spent so much time on my phone, as a result I can't get to my tasks at home in time, that make me even more anxous 😣

[@shannontorrens1]

When the quarantine started, I took to my phone to check what was happening all day long. It wasn't good for me, so I know what you mean about the anxious feeling. This is why I started to focus on my hobbies and took all the apps off my phone.

[@donaldjohnson1838]

Could you please tell me what kind of bar shampoo and conditioner you use? Thank you very much!

[@shannontorrens1]

I was using Ethique, and I really liked it, but my hair became way too dry. Also another drawback is we all share one bathroom and the bar was always getting ruined in the water. I ended up switching back to Costco brand economy size shampoo and conditioner for now.

[@justines1919]

Shopping can be fun even if you do it less too

[@michelleprice5945]

I also just removed the Instagram app! 👍

[@shannontorrens1]

See if it gives you more time in your day. I was shocked at how much time I was spending on that app. 😀

[@DD-d6d3]

Hi Shannon, as a hard-of-hearing person, it's next to impossible for me to understand what you are saying when you have even soft background music playing behind your words. Thanks for keeping it to a minimum. Love your content!

[@shannontorrens1]

I understand, I try to do low background or no background music. I am still figuring out the audio thing with these videos, I know it can sound like I am in a tin can sometimes. 😀

[@janetmathias1766]

You can turn on subtitles. Click on the ‘flower’ button on screen

[@AMcDub0708]

Maybe if someone TRULY loves shopping (my mom LOVES shopping for my kids and it becomes a burden for me) why not shop for the needs of local schools/women’s crisis shelters/children’s group homes/church youth groups? If you’re going to spend your money anyway, why not make a positive impact on your community without bringing clutter into your own home or someone else’s?

[@karynagibson05]

If I follow your advice in this video and unplug KZbin from my phone, I won't be able to watch your videos. 😪

[@shannontorrens1]

Don't do that lol. I still have KZbin, I just took it off my phone because I felt an urge to check it constantly. I don't have that same feeling with watching it on my computer or tablet. If it isn't a problem for you then it's fine 💛💛💛

[@karynagibson05]

@@shannontorrens1 ❤

[@geebisi]

I think I should delete KZbin... I do spend too much time here

[@shannontorrens1]

I stopped going on Instagram on my phone, now I only use it on my computer so obviously I don't spend nearly as much time as when it was on my phone.
