That’s awesome Noor!! 🥰
when i do laundry I put my clothes up right away I also clear my desk and tidy up and put all my tech away in my tech pouches so I can use them the next day it feels good to have a cleared and clutter free desk same with clothing as well. I do enjoy your videos
I clean as I go or when I see its crazy im like okay gotta tidy up
Ashlynne Eaton super helpful tips! One thing that I do is to have a base level of cleanliness/tidy that my house must be at before I can leave for work or go to bed.
I wash a load of laundry every day and soon as I get it going I fold the load from the previous day and put it away. That way we never have a big pile of dirty or clean laundry to deal with, just little bits every day, it usually takes less than 10 minutes.
*Summary:*
1. Make your bed
2. Keep your counters clean
3. If it can be done in 90 seconds - do it now
4. Clean your dishes after every meal
5. Tidy your desk at the end of the day
6. Put your shoes, bag & coat away immediately
7. Put your clothes away after changing
8. Spend 10 minutes tyding up before going to bed
9. Create and stick to a cleaning schedule
Bless ur soul
My tidying tip is if I get tired of tidying the same thing over and over again, I get rid of it or reduce it in some way.
I do the same!
Amazing tip
Btw don't make your bed first thing after getting up when you're allergic to dust mites but let it breath a little so the warmth doesn't stay in your bed, cause the warmth helps the dust mites become more, that's not great for you allergy! Helps me a lot if I let the bed air out 30 minutes and then make it
When we got a new closet I designated one drawer to put clothes I wore but are clean enough to be worn again. I always hated to mix them with unworn clothes and now they don’t pile up on a chair 🙂
I love this one! Thank you!!
LOVE that idea!! 🤍
Ashlynne Eaton Thank you 💕🙂
That’s Pro tip
This is a great idea i must use this one
I make my bed first thing in the morning but I don’t make it right away, I like to let it breathe for awhile :)
That's a good idea. Probably do it after showering.
This seems like a smart idea. Probably wouldn't hurt to spray something nice on the bed, too. Some sort of fabric refresher. I'm a terrible that maker... So we let our bed breathe all day until my husband comes home and makes it. 😂 I spend like I swear 15 to 20 minutes making my bed and then he will come home and remake it because it doesn't look good enough for him. 😂🤷♀️ So I stopped bothering. I'm not offended I know it looks like trash when I make it. 😂
@@MeganSaidThis oh wow was he in the military before lol. Maybe just fold the blacket/sheets up so at least visually it's tidy until he comes home to make it picture perfect lol
@@MeganSaidThis 😂 Love it!
Same here! I open the window (closing the door if it's winter). I have breakfast and then I make my bed.
to HABIT 9
i use alliteration to guide me. for example, on Mondays i clean mirrors, the microwave; Tuesdays toilets, wed-windows, Th toilets/ shower, friday vacuum & mop floors
saturday: shabbat💙🤍💙
sunday: sheets and towels
I can not tell you how happy it made my soul to expand your comment and see shabbat for saturday
watching from the Uk and hearing to put your kettle away, really hurts my feeling haha. I have like 20 cups a day if not more haha
Alice Gale in Australia and same + more if my mother-in-law is over not to mention pre-boiled water for endless baby bottles.
I'm in Canada and agree. 3 minutes a day? I drink at least 3 cups of tea a day haha.
I am a Russian and tea is love 🍵
I was thinking exactly this as soon as she said it!
@@polinaracheeva9163 tea is love, tea is life haha
I follow the flylady systeem for cleaning. Morning and evening routine, ones a week weekly home blessing (aka power hour) daily zone cleaning. Love the system!
Hi Ashlynne Before I make my bed in the morning I let my sheets air out for about 30 minutes and I always do the dishes after every meal. Hand washed. Thank you for sharing❤
Randomly I’ll call out “clean sweep” and my kids will know to do a quick tidy of the house putting random things in their homes (I help too). “Shoe patrol” is another one that I’ll call out so they know to put all the shoes on the shoe shelf in the garage.
Such a cute idea!
Oh I loved that! We used to play the laundry game when my kids were small. They all ran their clothes to their drawers and towels away while I folded quickly. It was so fun, and useful.. then they grow up and laugh that they I had convinced them it was a game.
Decluttering is one of my favorite hobbies. Yes I’m weird, albeit interesting 🧐 Even though I’m not a minimalist in the traditional sense, minimalism influences my life on a daily basis. Principles over aesthetics in my case. Have an awesome day! 🌿
That’s awesome Josh!!
I use a tidy tote. If I see something out of place I put it in the tote. I do a 5-10 minute clean up before bed and in that time I return and empty the bin nightly.
One thing that really helped me is taking something that doesnt belong to the room you already are when you go to another room.
Me: *minimalist, has a clutter-free unlived in looking home*
Also me: *excitedly watches video*
I have the same sort of rule-the 5 second rule. If it can be put away to the count of 5, do it right then. If it would take longer, you get to decide whether to do it now or later. It’s amazing how I suddenly look up and realize how much clutter was so close to its home.
My golden habit is: cook only once a day (several dishes if needed be, several portions so I have leftovers to freeze or for lunch) and clean the kitchen right afterwards. Putting everything in the dishwasher and then wiping all the surfaces and shining the sink takes me 8 minutes (I timed it once :) and the house looks totally different with a clean kitchen.
I cook almost all of our meals at home, so I'm cooking 2-3 times daily. I do cook some veggies ahead for meal prep, but I've never gotten into a routine of cooking our full day of meals at once. You're a flipping genius!
Chastety Cooper Thank you! You are very kind! It is easy as Spaniards don’t cook breakfast (we usually have milk and coffee and toast or similar). We have to pack lunch for my husband anyway as he takes a tupperware to work. And I get home rather late to start cooking lunch so it is easier to just heat a tupperware too. And keeps my kitchen pristine until dinner! Our first step was: cook twice as much as you need each night and freeze the leftovers for another day. It worked fine for a long time. Now I made a weekly schedule so we know what to eat and what to have for dinner every day, so I make sure we eat the right amount of vegetables and fish. Both systems work great!
Great tips! 💞 My advice is also doing a little bit of cleaning everyday. I used to do a massive cleaning at the end of the week but I realized it took all my weekend even my house is a total clutter-free one with a very little furniture. So now I clean a little everyday and a tiny bit more at one weekend day if necessary.
I returned to regularly watching your videos after drifting away for a while and I'm really impressed by the level of your presenting skills! Stellar job, I can see your hard work and dedication paying off :)
Good Video. So, I never leave any clothes on the flour, or chairs or anywhere else. I just can't do that. I always put them away, after I change. I always tidy up, after I did something, it is just how I am 😄 I admire the people, who don't care that much of having everything tidy. I get very uncomfortable around messy space. 😁
Same here!!! 👍🏽
At such a young age u r so clear in ur thoughts that is a very big thing to achieve❤️... definitely want to become like u one day...also I love ur voice❤️
this is a great reminder to do the little things now. and i would like to add one habit: everytime i get up and leave the room, i take something with that doesn't belong in there (e. g. the coffee cup from the couch table to the kitchen). this saves you one way and you don't forget about that coffee cup, snack bowl ...
I love the suggestion of putting appliances away. 💜
Absolutely love the colour theme of your home.. Grey, White.. black.. green.. ❤️
Hi Ashlynne :)
I started to tidy every item once I'm done using when I had a place for everything. Since then, I don't even realize that I tidy little by little all day long. It just became obvious and uncounscious :)
Thanks for being who you are
I definitely struggle with keeping my counters clear. No matter what, I make sure to clear my desk at the end of the day...even if that means staying a few extra minutes at work. It's so mentally refreshing to come to work and not see a cluttered desk. Now that I'm only in the office once a week though, I've had to make sure people know where to place things in my absence to avoid seeing piles of paper in my chair or placed haphazardly on my desk. Great list.
i go to bed with a clean kitchen and picked up playroom as a working mom - refreshing to wake up to start coffee and have kids begin open play time in organized playroom!
I feel like even before I became a minimalist, I was a pretty clean and organized person. Nowadays, I realize that cleaning and organizing really doesn't take much time once you get started, and minimalism has definitely made it less stressful 😊
yes I feel this way too! :)
I run the dishwasher every evening and unload in the morning while the kids have breakfast. This allows for an open dishwasher to put items in throughout the day - after meals and snacks.
Wow 😍 I can't stop wondering Your voice is beautiful😁
Oh wow thanks Diana!! 🤍🥰
I think that makes the channel more pleasing
What list app are you using for that weekly routine?
My favourite tip is "never leave a room empty-handed" so that cups, plates, items that belong in other rooms get taken out throughout the day as I'm going to another room anyway :)
Making the bed is a yes and changing clothes and looking polish up 😁💕
Love your videos! I definitely feel more stressed when there's a mess, and feel so much more relaxed and clear headed when I clean.
I love the Organised Mum Method for cleaning!
I always tidy up the kitchen counter and the coffee table in the living room before bed. When these things are clear, I feel more calm. And I like waking up to a clean and refreshed space.
A one more quick habit/tip works wonders for me is brushing my hair at the balcony and put away the fallen hair as soon as I get home so there will be so much less fallen hair on the floor. 😅
Loved this!!! I was literally looking for a video like this while I was itching to tidy my room yesterday and here you are with the perfect video 😁
You're shining, thank you for inspiring me!
Wonderful video full of valuable content 🙂 I'm going to start doing things that can be done in 90 seconds right away instead of putting them off
That’s awesome Marielle! 🤍
I love cleaning in general but the kitchen sometimes gets a bit messy and I LOVE a clean sleek kitchen! I love putting appliances away and always wiping my counters down.
I have a handle once rule and I clean anything as needed. Much easier to clean when needed rather that wait and to all at once😍😍😍
Thanks for this video, Ashlynne! One of the most impactful habits I have adopted over the last few years, is a nightly reset. As you said, it only takes a few minutes. It makes the world of difference to wake up to a space that is neat! ❤️❤️
I love how I already live a tidy and minimal life but this video still has tips I can use. That’s the key to making good content. Love it!
i love you and your videos! you inspire me to live a better life
Oh wow you’re so sweet! Thanks Camila! 🤍
Here's my question: how do you have the energy to do anything after doing so many tiny tasks all day long? It sounds so simple but i find it so draining to be constantly picking up and straigtening and tidying all day x.x
Edit: love the video btw, I am just a very low-energy human :(
Personally I find it to be a lot less work doing them as I go throughout the day, then having a giant mess to pick up at night! 🤍
Tidying up is just a part of life, but I think that overall doing it bit by bit throughout the day makes the burden a lot lighter in the long run
It really helps if you’ve simplified your stuff and automated your systems! It takes less mental energy that way
I would suggest you figure out why you’ve got such low energy first. And if you have that low of energy perhaps you don’t make as much of a mess as you might think 😉
I’ve o my been very low energy when I’m in a state of bad mental health, but that may not be your reason at all- just a suggestion to look into it!
I have to say though, tiny little steps do make a huge difference 💕 take care!
I'm a low energy human as well, that's why I'm big into minimalism...less to pick up!
@@cinthiaham1517 thanks! Been trying to figure it out for years. No luck yet :/ i dont make too much of a mess, but my beloved cats sure do xD and husband... lol
Love your hair in this video! 😊
Oh thank you so much!! 🥰
Always deal with post when it comes in as it soon piles up in our house!
Yes!! That’s such a good tip! 🙌
You are so pleasant to watch! Your voice is too soothing to my ears!🥰
Oh wow you’re so sweet Gerardine! Thank you! 🤍
I love you Ashlynne ..thank you for taking the time to make great quality videos❣️
Aww so glad you enjoy them! 🥰🤍
I'm much more productive too when theres less crap everywhere!!! also making the bed is a brilliant one! TFS xxx
+ you can just have 1 plate of each type per person, so you always need to wash them :)
Happy that I'm already following these tips.Love the theme of your video 💖💖
Clean My Space here on UA-cam helped me creating and sticking to my cleaning routine. Melissa has all the answers to any kind of cleaning question 😊
Loved the video ❤️
Thank you for helping us. I am making changes also. I have been
making my bed as soon as I get up since I was a little girl. Part of our morning routine ! Now I m putting away electronics I use once a day, thanks to you!
I have a weekly chore list and try to check each chore off before the weekend. I had a similar cleaning schedule to Ashlynne's and personally, it just didn't work out for me as I find days vary a lot. All I want to know is that everything's been done 👍
I love the idea of #9! Would you share your cleaning schedule?
Tengo todos esos hábitos 😁 me encanta el orden y la limpieza. Da muchísima paz 🙃
She said, "I have all of these habits. I love the order and cleanliness. Gives so much peace."
I assign saturday as my laundry day!
I do the DISHES DAILY FOR 10 mins in the late evening after my dinner.
I lay out the clothing before taking bath with jewelry during corona period in morning.
Just after i wake up i go to sink ,fill my mouth with water and splash water on my eyes,it's good for better eyesight everyday,it's a new habit .
Then i drink half liltre of water in the morning itself.
aFTER all this i make my bed then tea then do ANULOM-VILOM(kind of breathing process it is,very beneficial for health and eyes),
then MEDITATION for 10 mins.HEHE! Recently i have doing it by closing the window,switching off the light and fan,and concentrating on the SOUND OF THE TICKS OF THE CLOCK.
oh yeah! GRATITUDE EVERYDAY AFTER BREAKFAST! 10 things i write i am grateful for and i just list down what happened good the previous day.
At night same i do meditation for 10 mins,it's a very new habit of doing meditation twice.
I know i am also a very productive person,i became slowly by slowly in 2 years by 66 DAYS HABIT FORMATION THING.I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE CHANGED SO MUCH WHO WAS USED TO WAKE UP IN THE EVENING.
Great daily habits video, Ashlynne!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Ervin!!
You're Welcome, Ashlynne!
I love love love this video. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️🙏🏼
I've been binge watching these in the hopes that my little bit of work each day will eventually leave me half as "together" as you 😅
Love the content and idea of it all, but i truly have an issue with having and wanting too many material things!
Thank you for making this video, thank you for your smile! I have saved this video for watching again and again! ❤🙏
Great video and a beautiful voice!
Love from Germany ❤
Thanks Celina! Hope you’re doing well! 🥰
Your voice is sooooo relaxing. Your content is very helpful, you deserve more subs. Keep it up ❤️
I like to pick out my outfits for work on Sunday night. It's kind of fun. It's stress-free and I have more time to experiment with the wardrobe I already own. That way I can sleep in an extra 15 minutes everyday 😇
ur voice is so relaxing!!!❤❤❤
Aww you’re sweet! Thanks Martina! 🤍
Your Videos are always Inspiring 🥰🥰
I clean my house and then the next day I dive into small jobs, like organising an area, or a task I haven't done yet. This way means it's easier to do these tasks as my home is clean and organised. Two daily tasks I do is clean the bathroom basin and the kitchen surfaces.
You are living my ideal life 💡
Where is your comforter from? It’s so cute, simple and cozy looking!
Tip # 16 for saving your money, is your cable bill too high, well you can buy an indoor antenna from amazon for around 17.00 and get channels for free, make sure first that your in range of a cell tower of at least 25 miles or less, the best rated one on the market is called, Mohu Releaf HD.
I used to use my blender on a daily basis so I kept it out on the countertop. Now I realize that my habits changed and currently I am rarely making smoothies . So I will put it back into the drawer. Hence my tip is to adapt those little things to your current habits, everything flows...;)
Now that I am 25 and start living with my sister i am a cleaner person and more organised. This video inspires me more 🥰😻
Such useful advice! Thank you Ashlynne 😊❤
1. Make your bed each morning
2. Keep counters clean
3. Immediately do things that can be done in 90 seconds
4. Clean dishes after every meal
5. Tidy desk at the end of day
6. Put shoes, coat, bag away upon arriving at home
7. Put clothes away upon changing
8. Tidy up 10 mins before bedtime

OMG I love your couch! I particularly like the pull out part of it. Can you let us know where you got it?
My daily tidying habit I've been trying to implement is putting away all of my work stuff at the end of the day.l
I love your couch - where’s it from?
It is from IKEA, she mentioned it in the tour around the house video. Hope it was helpful 😊
Hey Ashlynne,
I really enjoyed these easy yet brilliant tips. For me, I want to do better at putting coats and shoes away as I come in the door.
I also had a question about where your couch was from, and if you remember what the model is called?
Thanks for taking the time to put this type of content together.
Thank you Ashlynne for posting this videos. They help a lot. Keep up the good work 👍🌹
Glad you enjoyed it Fjolle! 🥰🤍
When I'm done with an item put it back where it belongs, so I dont have to set time aside to clean and put away items that could've been put away as soon as I'm done with that item. And make my bed as soon as I'm up for the day.
Love that! And totally with you on making the bed! It’s always one of the very first things I do!
Love these! Do you have any tips on how to get your partner to engage in them too? :P My boyfriend always goes to bed later then me and thus wakes up later, but he doesn't reset things before bed so I end up doing it every morning...
If you get some tips, let me know!!! I’m desperate 😂 I’ll ask my husband to make the bed after I go to work in the morning but he thinks it’s stupid and will never do it 😒
*I cannot say i am a complete MINIMALIST but i try as much as possible.I also show case in my vlog channel the same. Many of my frds have labeled me cheap or stingy but i cannot stand clutter*
I love your couch! It has multi uses. May I know where you purchased it?
I was going to ask the same question! 😆
Great tips, as well! Love the video!
Looks like the IKEA Friheten to me! (I had one)
Would you consider doing a video or blog post sometime delving a bit more into your cleaning schedule and how you divide it up over the course of the week? (looking at 8:07 in the video) Curious how long it takes you each day? This is something I've struggled with; the idea of doing one chunk each day sounds like a great idea, but sometimes I have a little difficulty with implementation. :) (usually due to busy days so I don't feel like doing even the little chunk) If this is already in another video or a blog post, apologies! If so, could you please direct me to the appropriate spot? Thank you!! Love your videos - I've already implemented a few habits that you've mentioned to help me have a more relaxing, minimalist lifestyle! I do try to keep things picked up in my own home as well, and I totally agree with you about cleaning the dishes after every meal - it's *so* easy to let them pile up (believe me, I know)! (oh and making the bed too - every day, first thing!)
Yay! I do most of these and I would love incorporate the rest!🧡
This was so helpful! Thank you so much! I love your videos 🖤
Excellent!
I like to take a close look at a room before leaving it, just in case I can out away anything while am going into the other room. Not going into the other room empty handed.
Clean kitchen before bed! Wipe sides and wash pots 🙌🏻
Love that!!
I love you so much!!
🤍🤍🤍
wait, for real you hide the kettle after every time you use it?! Seems bizarre to me, but I guess different habits work for different people XD
Yeah .the best relaxing video 😌❤️✨
nice videos cant wait for another video
Kinda random but lately the square and rectangle things hung in my home are driving me nuts, have them on little picture nails and they always end up crooked. I have not had a chance to put them up with command strips yet. LOL. My goal in the future is to buy and use less things that can become crooked like round things or shaped (decor) things (sort of like the holiday decor on wires but something year round.) And also just using like blankets and towels and things to decorate with instea dof stuff on the wall. I've been looking online and there's not a ton of options out there for round or things that don't get crooked easily. Part of why this is bothering me is that I have a baby and the extra few seconds to straighten this crap every day is precious time I could be using better elsewhere in my day. As for daily habits I just clean as I go from room to room. I also keep a to-do list just for projects and if I have a large chunk of time I look at it and see if I feel I can tackle it during that time (usually when baby is asleep).
Ashlynne...can u plz say ...where u got ur coffee cup....i juz luv that so much.....😍
I always make my bed first thing!
Yess!! Love it 🥰
Where do you put your bag when you get home? Closet? I always feel like I’m doing this one wrong haha!
personally I have a hook by my door so when I come in and shut the door I automatically hang it there :)
Skyler Adriel, I have made a spot in my closet for my bag. I also have a hook with my car keys right above it. That way, as I leave the house, my bag and keys are always in the same spot so I don’t ever waste time looking for either. Works well for me!😄
Great Job
Hi Ashlynne! I’m not sure If you’ve mentioned this in another video, but where is your desk from? I love it!
Great video Ashlynne! Mind telling me where I can find your bedroom night stands please? ❤️
