[@sashamarielundnielsen348]

the thing I started doing, to simplify, is keeping a 60 seconds rule. if I see something, that needs to be done, and I can do it within 60 seconds I do it.

[@valerieblomquist1253]

I try to do the same. I also have begun to adopt this mindset of identifying what’s bothering me and trying to change it, starting with what’s in my house because all that is the easiest to change and surprisingly really affects my mood and productivity. Can be as small as the dishes stink every time I’m near the sink. Well then do them already! Or as big as, I don’t like this aspect of my job and trying to grow past it with education or finding a new job. It can also be applied to relationships and social life. Got it from Jordan Peterson.

[@kassandraann1397]

that's such a good idea!

Thanks good information, I will need to do the make a to do list before bed more often just not a daily thing yet sounds like it's a good start

[@meghanlivingstone]

Loved doing this collab with you! Such helpful points. I love carrying a small purse because it helps me carry less - definitely an area that can get so messy! xoxo

[@AshlynneEaton]

Yes! It was so much fun getting to collab with you too Meghan! And absolutely. Switching to a smaller purse made such a big difference for me. 🤍

[@anaelgodik1297]

Heck yes! To preparing clothes the night before. I have been doing it for years. It's been such a huge improvement. In terms of screen time, I actually find it helpful to delete social media apps and use them only when I want to post (which is very rare) because I have school during the year.

[@juliawashburn675]

What I've done once, is I logged in to the photo center from my phone, loaded a bunch of photos I wanted to print from my phone, and ordered prints! Omg!!!!! Why have I not done that before?!!!! For some reason I was waiting for a good time to transfer the pictures to my desktop computer.... just do it from your phone straight to the printing service....

Now that in working from home I've recently decided to focus on going for a walk in the morning and going outside during breaks and over lunch to soak up some sun. I also like to do chores during the week so j di'nt have to do them on my days off. That is easier working from home too, I think.

Great video! I’ve been taking better care of my skin, buying healthier products and It’s something small that I look forward to 😊👍

[@luanamayana6742]

Thanks for the Unroll Me tip! Really useful for my cluttered inbox

[@lizouimette]

I keep my phone on mute for everything except phone calls. If someone calls me it is probably important. And very few spam calls get through my filter. Everything that isn't a phone call must not be that important. Even at work, when someone texts me... If it is truly important they will call and if I don't respond to texts right away I MUST be working too hard to notice... Or so they can assume.

[@KhaJani16]

Such a good video, thank you so much! :) I have a long morning routine with everything in it what is important for me to do in my life every day (for example reading, sport, dancing, writing, going outside).

[@Berleen]

Me watching this on my first break after three hours of constant working: Hmmm, interesting.

[@entrepjournal4699]

To improve focus and productivity, I follow the 3 tasks rule. I list down all the things I need done for a week and prioritize 3 most important and urgent each day. As a result, I get things done and gain a little more time for my sanity.

[@joanie5262]

New to your channel. Love it!

[@shandrakor]

All excellent and I will be putting some of these to work today, thank you so much! Just to add to the breathing, if you take time to practice either deep breathing or box breathing, (in - twothreefour hold - twothreefour out - twothreefour hold - twothreefour) ( I call it waltz breathing) it will be immensely helpful when you get anxious or hurt yourself as you will just start breathing like that without thinking. I practice at least ten minutes a day and it has helped decrease the time of my panic attacks so much.

[@LoideMiriamSantos]

Love it so much!!

[@the_okoh]

Literally watching this while eating.

[@CourtneyJoDavis]

Loved this! Especially the outfit combination. I have way too many clothes I’m trying to declutter because I end up wearing the same few things anyway. New subscriber :)

[@kandreasworld4374]

Everything sounded great except the airplane mode when sleeping. The few times my phone accidentally was turned to silent, an emergency happened and people were desperately trying to get a hold of me. So that can end up being a real regret that you will have to live with.

[@crystalatkins4001]

Thank you ashlynne for another great video they really inspire me. And i was watching the other day and my boyfriend overheard. next thing i knew he decluttered 35 items of clothing. i was so shocked. so thanks for inspiring everyone x😁

Hey Layla! So good to meet you! 🥰

[@blairchuaford7876]

I don't know how can I go for a walk anymore. Before I am really a extrovert but when I realize that I enjoy the silence in my own room, and I'm more comfortable alone, I don't go outside anymore. I don't know, it feels like I have a social anxiety now. I remember when my mom and I go outside, I'm not comfortable and I notice that my hands are shaking, and I'm just looking down, scared to meet people eyes.. I don't know what happened to me, I really thought before that maybe I'm just really introvert, but when I go outside I remember the signs of "social anxiety" that I've read online, and it's really defined me.

[@isisfross8370]

I love being alone at home. Hibernating feels so safe and increases my creativity

[@StamperWendy]

Every time I take out my totes full of mixed media art supplies from my storage nook, I always put them back, the same day, to avoid a cluttered look in my apt.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Keeping an uncluttered apartment is nice, but don’t let that keep you from expressing your creativity if that’s what brings you joy! Art supplies can always be used, enjoyed, then put back later 🥰

Keeping phone on airplane mode or switching off, but what if someone wants to contact you or there is any emergency for which they want to reach you?

[@AshlanMoore]

Yay! Another Ashlan (Ashlynne)! So glad I found you. We have so much in common. I’ve been binging your videos!

[@jennac.3173]

I once tried the turn the notifications off thing and it surprinsingly didn't work for me. When they were off, I actually found myself even more oj the phone to check if I got messages. When I had the notifications on I just had to check on the display and decide wether I wanna answer now or later. And with them being off I often found myself opening the messnlenger app itself to see if I have a new message. So for me that didn't work, but at least I tried it!

[@kichapi]

This works better for me too! :) My phone's notification is on but it's also on vibrate mode (and away from my desk) so it's less distracting. Every 2 hours, I check my phone screen to prioritize messages / alerts.

[@oriflameleaders8931]

[@MilnaAlen]

My ADHD brain can't focus on vacuuming or dishes without something more interesting in the background. Maybe it's less focus and I end up washing a plate twice, but a whole lot of better than getting unbearably bored after 5 dishes and having to eat from dirty ones.

[@jenniferr4738]

Caring less with me is hard hahaha I like to bring tissues, lotion, sanitizer etc haha

[@AshlynneEaton]

Totally understandable Jennifer! My encouragement is just to ask yourself if there’s anything you often bring with you but don’t regularly use. Keep what you use, remove what you don’t 🥰

[@wishIKnewHowToLove]

carrying a water bottle is the best advice. Not only it reminds u to drink, but also the more u drink, the less you carry... lol also I like the advice on timing yo tasks esp annoying ones. Like decluttering photos etc. 10 min a day is totally doable. But I put it off EVERY day bc when I just think about how much needs to be done, I don't do it at all.

How do minimalist wear/use a small purse? I've tried it so manny times. But if I go to work and bring my lunch I have a glass container of soup, glass container with Nuts, apple, banana and my work clothes. And my wallet, phone and Keys. (They fit in a small purse) And in the weekend i take a tripp to the library. Or do grosery shopping. And then again a small purse doesn't the job. So i always feel a maximalist because my purse is a totem bag 😮 (i use the same for over a decade haha)

[@EclecticHottie]

This continues to be a huge problem for me as well because there are so many thing I really want to take with me! I always wear or have a jacket and have my every day carry~ a little zippered bag (6"×4") that holds my cards/cash, travel headache stuff, lipgloss, keys, etc., which goes in one pocket, my phone goes into the other pocket. I have an amazing ukoala purse (awesome for going places you want to be hands free), a canvas bag (to go crafting at a friend's house or shopping), and a backpack (usually for overnights) when I *have to* carry more. I was amazed at how little I actually need on a regular day 😀

[@Dedreea]

Thank you for a great video! However, everyone please research unroll.me before you use it. A couple years ago it came out that Unroll.me was selling anonymized information from user's inbox to third parties (Uber for example). Their website/service is no longer available in the EU after GDPR (our personal data protection regulations), so it's probably still fishy. You don't just have them search through your inbox for subscribtions once, you give them access to your mailbox whenever they want it.

[@TerriB88]

Focusing on one thing at a time is a little more difficult when you’re a parent, I will say that. There’s so much going on in our brains! For example if I took a walk with my kids, it’s great to try and focus on the trees and the nature around me, but part of my brain also needs to be focusing on the safety of my children. If I am working at home, and my kids are home, my focus is always divided. It’s hard; not impossible, but hard.

I am a slight minimalistic person...... I go thru my entire house at least every 3 or 4 months and throw away multiple trash bags full of stuff or donate and dont like to take in or buy things that I dont truly believe would be loved ....... And in my personal opinion, I do not want to upset anyone because I'm not meaning this in a rude way at all like I said I am a very minimalistic person but in my opinion I think that a lot of minimalism is really more of OCD issues then it is mindfulness and that doesn't go for everybody but I think it does for a lot of people including myself for me even though I want to be a mindful person I think it has more to do with the fact that I don't like clutter and I don't like things that are just sitting around the house that are not going to be used🤗🤗 does anyone else feel this way?
