What’s one small thing you’ve done to simplify your life? 🤍

@amandalashley3819 3 года назад

I have a two week meal plan that we rotate through, I planned it out so that both weeks meals use the same ingredients so I'm buying the same ingredients each week. So I always know what we're going to eat and I don't have to sit down and plan it out each week. This has saved me so much stress, decision fatigue, time, and money because I'm way less likely to impulse buy food.

@minister314 3 года назад

I will try refraining from internet usage for some of the day and spend time thinking creative ways to live freely on the outside.

@sunuman4454 3 года назад

I have laundry baskets for certain colours. X. From the UK.

@DeerfieldDiscGolf 3 года назад

I made it a rule to not use my phone for anything on the weekend except for making phone calls to make plans.

@amandagibson1697 3 года назад

In one of your videos you said something like "replace instead of accumulate" and I have repeated that to myself when shopping. Not only has it saved me money but also prevents clutter. Thank you!

@duaashukri308 3 года назад

1. Create healthy meals 2. Delete unused apps 3. Put your clothe away immediately after folding 4. pay expenses annually 5. Spend less time cleaning 6. Get smart home technology 7.

@camiluvya17 3 года назад

I was with you until the last one. I live in MA and living closer to certain cities are way too expensive for a lot of folks. Especially because really good jobs are in those locations. It would be so nice to never commute again but unfortunate some of us don’t get that luxury. Love the video otherwise 💜

@AshlynneEaton 3 года назад

Thanks much for sharing this perspective! There definitely are situations that make that one impossible. 🤍

@fallonrocks 3 года назад

I agree that living close to work can be difficult which is why during my commute, instead of listening to the radio, I’d listen to podcasts, audiobooks or listen to youtube videos that don’t require a ton of visual attention like Ashlynn’s videos or Bailey Sarian’s ❤️

@DazzleDust32 3 года назад

Yes, definitely! In London, many of the jobs with large organisations are in zones 1 or 2. Even flats there are at least £2 million, which is out of the price range of most people.

@bysarahalexander4426 3 года назад

Same. I was on board until that one. Short commutes are a socioeconomic privilege in many cities. I understand the guidance to carefully consider location vs space, but some people simply cannot afford to live close to work no matter the size or condition of the unit.

@elainekrystel8591 3 года назад

Yes! Personally, I live near the beach and I love it. My job is about 1hour away, but i would never leave the area where I live just to get closer to my job (which is located in a mountain). I'd rather live where I want rather than sacrifice it for my job.

@amandaknight1406 3 года назад

This seems a little strange to say, but I started seeing a therapist. It’s an extra thing that I need to spend time and energy on, but I’ve been truly blessed to find someone who has been challenging my perceptions and helping to shift my perspective. I never thought I would feel as free as I do, now that I’m not in constant worry mode.

@pandabossanna 3 года назад

Such an inspiring video! My commute is the most depressing part of the day, the recent shift to remote working has been the best thing ever. I'm dreading when they tell us to go back

@shelbizzle131 3 года назад

I’ve implemented several of the things from your (previous) videos such as: setting a morning/evening routine, keeping counters clear of clutter, taking breaks, saying “no” to extra, unnecessary tasks, picking out clothes the night before, etc. It’s made SUCH a difference, thank you so much!! 😩💖

@AshlynneEaton 3 года назад

So many good ones! I love that!! 🥰🤍

@XiaoTaor 3 года назад

I always feel SO happy when I see you have a new video here! Love from Sweden. ❤️

@AshlynneEaton 3 года назад

@jenifermayer9881 3 года назад

I would love to see a video that goes more into detail on this meal plan idea. Maybe any suggestions on foods that you use for this🙂 thank you for sharing! I always look forward to your videos

@AshlynneEaton 3 года назад

This is something I’ve been actually wanting to do for a while! Thanks for mentioning it!! 🤍

@lindseyhoffmann9550 3 года назад

I love the delayed start setting on my washer for this exact reason. Who wants wet clothes just sitting around wet if you know you won’t be there to put them in the dryer? I can still “start” a load before I leave the house and have it start the cycle just in time to finish when I return.

@simplyrhiza 3 года назад

Hey pretty lady! U are a breath of fresh air. I downloaded ur videos, so i can watch them in my countryside house where internet connection is a big problem. I visit the city once a week so i can check if u have uploaded a new video. U have inspired me in so many ways. I've been a subscriber since 2020. Love from ur filipino subbie🥰

@AshlynneEaton 3 года назад

Oh that’s amazing!! 🥰

@LizzieOktambe 3 года назад

I don’t agree with the last one. I recently moved a bit further away from my job and now it takes me around 45 min. to get to work vs. the 20+ min. it was before and finally I have a commute time that allows me to enjoy the commute. When I was driving to work 20 min. I was loosing time with the drive since I didn’t have a chance to do anything while driving. It was a lost time. Now I’m able to listen to music or audiobooks or podcasts, making the time my own instead of loosing it. Just another perspective I guess.

@blueowl8928 3 года назад

I feel like the last tip is kind of elitist/out of touch. Not everyone has the luxury of living close to their work or working from home. If you can, that’s great, but not everyone can.

@TylerAndToast 3 года назад

An hour and a half every day just to get to and from work sounds exhausting

@jessicakoppers1121 3 года назад

I agree with most of these ideas! 💕 I would love it if you could do a video on how to organize/declutter a computer using a hard drive - I have always found this difficult and scary to do cause I worry I will lose something transferring it over so would love advice and help there! ☺️ One way I have simplified is by not only decluttering but organizing so that I simply can do things without worrying where to find something - its amazing how having a home for everything makes a difference in your day.

@lillianlowe6846 3 года назад

I want to try a capsule wardrobe, but I have no idea how to pick a color pallette. Could you make a video on this?

@amyli092 3 года назад

It feels like your videos have improved so much over time for the amount of time I've been following you, Ashlynne. The introductions and exits to your videos aren't as long, but you still are able to pack in all the information you want to talk about. I appreciate everything you're doing to help others- myself included- to live a life that's more simple and intentional :)

@pattiadkins2736 3 года назад

Since I am retired I like to insure that I am productive. As I do things thru out the day I put it in my calendar, whether it’s cleaning, crafty, exercising or anything. Plus, I write in my calendar up coming events or task that are scheduled.

Inspiring ❤️ I keep a small basket in my room where I keep putting all random items that do not fit any particular category, and then once after the days ends I keep all from that basket to its respective place. This way I don't have to duplicate my efforts.

I like to put out whatever I'll need the next day such as, books to return to the library, clothes to the discount store. I also like to put out my clothes the night before. The start of ones day can be hectic enough without trying to remember lists of items.

@AD-jj3hd 3 года назад

For the commute part, we both work about 10-15 from our work but we want to buy an acreage for our commute will be about 40 minutes, anything less is crazy expensive and we could never afford it, we both work healthcare so no option to work remotely and my partner has to switch locations all over the city for their work every 5 years so cant really chose their commute unless we want to continue to rent for the rest of our lives. Also lots of people commute from far places out of necessity for pricing or they can never own. Its wasted time only if you look at it like that. I think I'll start listening to audiobooks, have time to relax after a long day, is listening to a podcasts or new music.

@mjleroux4074 3 года назад

I simplified my life by getting risk of bad friends and family, that drags you down. I thought that I would miss all these people, however I am so relieved and my life is so much lighter.

I just subscribed to your channel; everything you talked about is such an inspiration, thank you! 😊 Can you please tell me where you purchased your travel bag/case? I've been searching for quite awhile for something that size and style. It seems it would allow for great travel organization. Thank you so much!

@ingerfalch-jacobsen1717 3 года назад

To 7: I just have to keep the bottom neutral - jeans, black or blue - then I can use any color top. I don't like wearing every color anyway, so I have a "natural" palette - when I just got around to weeding out everything (work in progress!) I don't really wear. Simplicity can be mindblowing!

@christinefindorff5328 3 года назад

I really like the idea of putting clothes on the bed to force yourself to put them away. I’m definitely guilty of leaving laundry in the clean laundry basket for days after taking them out of the dryer.

@Shiryone 3 года назад

I'm currently working on eliminating & replacing all white or light clothes and linens so that I don't have to do separate laundry loads. As much as I do like whites and off-whites I find they get dirty faster and also when wearing them outside bugs are attracted to them.

Hello! I love your channel :) I've begun trying to slow down my life and pursue some goals/hobbies I've had for years, one of which is starting a blog & youtube channel! Do you have any advice for this?

@PatrikKron 3 года назад

I actually quite enjoy my commute, at least one the days where the train works correctly (on time, all train cars are there so that it's not crammed.) Although I have also worked within biking distance previously, and it's nice to be fully in control of when you arrive at work.

@PatrikKron 3 года назад

I did though really dislike the commute I had a few years ago, it was much shorter, but often crammed enough that you had to stand on the buss the entire way.

@roxanne7185 3 года назад

In the Philippines, commuting to work can get as long as 3 hours! 6 hours in a day! This is serious. This is not because your work is essentially far, rather it is due to heavy traffic. In fact, we measure the commute with "Time" than "Kilometer". So getting to work with in or less than 1 hour is a win!

First let me say that I have always loved your videos! However the paid sponsor ideas can be extremely expensive. For those of us that are saving money and trying hard to be a minimalist, buying these expensive items goes against, the need vs wants and just thing we don’t need.

Props girl for getting those views end the bag from views. Our house is 100x nicer and all white shiplap, farmhouse style. Never thought to get some nice editing in and read off an online list and make some money. Good for you girl!
