My end of work week ROUTINE | FRIDAY procedure 

If you're looking for sources, I've tried to collect as many as I can here: www.benitalarsson.com/sources

I would love it if you had a video series on your favorite parts of Stockholm. It would be great to discover your city with you, streets, parks, shops and other places. I'm sure other viewers would enjoy this too. ☺

Isn't being able to do what you love on your own schedule what most of us aspire? Again, congratulations to you, Benita on living your best life on your own terms.

Lovely vlog. I retired 3 years ago and realized I needed some sort of routine. The first year was joyous and then when the pandemic hit...well, we all know what happened. So I had to regroup and create projects that kept me indoors (I did continue to run in the park). With a sense of normalcy in the air, I am happen that I disciplined myself and kept busy; it's still serving me. Be well, Benita and thank you.

So glad you are able to make a living at your passion. I have followed you since blog days, and feel a jolt of happiness when I see a new video! Keep up the inspiration! ❤

I retired a few months ago and I am reorganizing my routines. Thank you so much for inspiring me with your videos, I love the simplicity of your life. 😊

I was as mesmerized as your cat by you wiping down that counter :-). Great video as always Benita! I have been following you since early blog days and thoroughly enjoy every piece of content you create. Glad to see you thriving! ❤️

I have been struggling to establish order into my newly retired life. Such chaos after a strictly regimented schedule of work and home responsibilities. This video has given me encouragement to keep moving toward harmony 🙏

I really enjoy your vlogs; they’re so relaxing to watch. I love your aesthetic and style. I also appreciate how much you clearly adore your cat. I love my cat that much too and smother her with kisses all day long. 😻

When you walked down the stairs on your walk, I got truly excited about the colors of the leafs. So pretty. Your home oozes calmness, love it.

Your cats are so gorgeous. My cats bring so much joy and fun to my life that I just can’t imagine life without them! 🐈💞

Oh my goodness! I love your Friday routine! Everything is so purposeful and goes a long way toward you having a lovely, stress free weekend! Love all your content!!

My thoughtful sister sent me a link to this post to help inspire and lift me up after a particularly trying week. A few hours later I had worked my way through nearly all of your videos! Just letting you know you have a kindred spirit with many common traits 5500 miles away in California. We are close in age, of Swedish heritage (though me only 25%), formerly married for nearly the same interval, have single sons (just 1 year apart in age), love simplicity, routine and order, are introverted and unsentimental, go to our happy place when organizing, could eat the same meal every day, prefer not to cook, adore cats, the list goes on and on! I have struggled all of my life to feel comfortable in my own skin, and I am just now coming in to my own so to speak; better late than never I guess. It is comforting to know that there are kind people such as yourself living in all parts of the world. I am grateful to know you are out there, living your best life, and sharing it with folks like me who are doing the same but still wobbling a bit. You dropped into my life when I needed it most. Thank you so very much.

What a great way to end the week and head into the weekend. I really like how you make a point of packing your desk away. Mini & Bonus seemed a lovely Friday routine too😻

Great video Benita - it was nice to see your new routine. I'm not retired yet but I plan to in 2 years and I'm already thinking about what my routine will be like when I do, so thank you for the inspiration. I always like when you take us with you on little shopping or walking excursions -makes me feel like I'm there with you. Love your kitties too. Take care

there is almost nothing more relaxing for me in this world than watching your videos. your channel is like a therapy to me. thank you benita!

I love your balance between comfort and simplicity 💚 seems more inspirational / achieveable than other minimalists I watch. Grateful! 🙏

One of my favourite videos you’ve ever done. The atmosphere, the tips. I just loved it x

Watching this on a Friday after a busy week! It’s so relaxing to see someone else’s end of week routine. I hope I can do something like this for myself one day

Great to see how people live on the other side of the world, beautiful place to live

I’m in the fortunate position of no longer needing to work and I absolutely LOVE my lifestyle now. Being able to do what you want/need to do when you want to do it is so liberating and I no longer feel constantly exhausted. You’re not quite at that stage yet but I’m sure you’ll soon reap the rewards of not having to run to catch up with yourself 😊. Having the weekends off is at least part of the way there for now. 💛💐

I have been watching your channel only for a few days & have managed to binge watch all of your videos, I find the content & how gentle you speak very relaxing, your home & style is so calming & your kitties are so cute! This is just what I am needing at this moment in time due to getting divorced here in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧

I love the act of getting fresh flowers on Friday for the weekend. I’m going to adopt your Friday routines for cleaning & errands. Even though I am retired from a 9 - 5 job & work for myself, I am still doing cleaning, laundry, etc. on the weekends out of habit. Thank you for another great video! Oh and I ordered a few T-shirt’s from Organic Basics & I love them!❤️

I’m in the midst of reorganizing my routines, your videos have been inspiring (and a joy) to watch. Thank you for sharing. 🌻

A most enjoyable video. Thanks. I have been retired for 20+ years but find that a routine is helpful..... wash the towels every Thursday, change and wash the bedding each Friday etc. Some think it is crazy but it works for me.

Very important to give yourself a routine when working from home, all too easily could slip into lazy mode! Due to health issues my daily routine has changed somewhat. Its all about adaptiveness, flexibility, awareness of one's abilities to carry out what is necessary to take on our challenges in life. I have to say in all the time i have been commenting ...i keep omitting to say how lovely, sweet and well behaved your two kitties are. 😻😻 😀😘

This was so peaceful. I especially love the scenes in which you hug your cats. ❤️

Hi Benita, have you considered doing a “work with me” video? I love the calming sound of your voice and music choices, and often have repeats of your videos on in the background while I work. I work alone from home and like the background noise. It would be cool to have a long video of you working with keyboard sounds and music choice, Kitty cameos etc. Love your work. Good luck with going solo. Sophie x

Love your videos, so calming. It’s great that you can alter your work commitments to fit your lifestyle. You are good at keeping your work time quite disciplined and to know when to turn off the computer. Personal time is like gold dust. Enjoy your beautiful autumnal days in Stockholm. Keep well.

Hello, I am following your channel for a while now . And I can’t help watching your videos again . It’s so inspiring . So first of all : thank you ! I see in this video that you have a organisation with digital tools . I’d say that I might be interested in ways, tools and tricks about organisation and productivity . Bests , Damien .

I love how you move in the world.

I love routines and yours are simply perfect 🤩😍🇳🇴

Thank you for this video. Your life is so similar to my own. It’s time for a wardrobe update, especially with the season change, please do one. Enjoy and stay well. ☺️

I love when you take us along for your walks, errands and outings! Your cats are so cute.

What sweet flowers. I love watching your watching your neighbourhood walks

There’s something special about your videos. I could watch a DITL vlog any day, all day!🥰 I love watching mature vloggers and I’m not aware of very many good ones. I look forward to retirement next year. Excellent work!

A minimalistic healthy happy life.

That’s a cool cat you have…so calm and relaxed..🐈‍⬛

Lovely to see you. Do you have a hobby? What do you do when you don’t have any tidying or decluttering to do? Read, is so, what? Knit?, sew? Jigsaw puzzles? Fin

Good morning, I can´t stop to follow this video, Madame Benita! Whats marwellous environement you live! So clean, clear and beautifull....So calming life you live....I wish it to you, really.

One month ago, I was fascinated by this vidéo (more movements / subjective eye than in the other ones before). Today, I've almost seen them all. And it's an amazing work, passionned and passionning. And it's quite weird : I think I know you, I appreciate your content so much and even recognize some common points (or obsessions) but you don't know me. You're part of my life now. I began to declutter and organize my whole appartement because you gave some tricks, inspirations and even motivation to do it. And I'm almost done. So thank you. Very much. Bests from Paris, France. Damien

Super proud of you for switching over to the content creator lifestyle fulltime-it takes a lot of courage to pursue such a demanding task as new strategic communication major with a focus in social media management seeing stories like this inspire me to keep pushing towards my goal of a degree to help content creators continue to thrive! Keep going :)

Your videos are so calm and comforting, always happy when you upload a new one. I love your style and personality and of course your kitty cats. Thank you for being here!

I used to love your blog and was really sad when you stopped it. And a couple of weeks ago, RU-vid suggested one of your videos - I'm so glad I've found you again :) Your content is useful, qualitative, real, beautiful and calming - the perfect blend of function and style, so Scandinavian. I don't even skip your commercial bits because they're so nicely integrated to the rest of your content - I'm a marketer by trade, so I tend to be really cynical about ads haha I used to go to Stockholm regularly when I lived in Europe, and hearing the tunnelbana voice and seeing the homeware store full of neutral-coloured goodies made me feel so nostalgic! Kram fran Sydney, Australia

I always apologize to my cats as well if I accidentally bump into them. I enjoyed your video!

Such a relaxing routine… inspire me to keep my Friday’s simple and wind down, ready for the weekend. Thank you Benita 💜 x

Hi Benita, haven’t had the chance to see your vids lately. So today I’ve gone to your channel to catch up - your playing quietly in the background as I tidy my space. Letting the ads play out to save you a few pennies. Have a lovely Christmas and I look forward to your content in 2022. You have been a very positive influence for me and just want to say a big thank you!!

I really, really enjoyed this video. I'm so curious as to how people live their lives in other countries, and watching you go about your business is so interesting. I love the city views and shops. Maybe one day I can travel to Sweden.

You have two beautiful cats. They're cute!

I am really inspired by your way of living! and also your style, so I am trying to see if I can simplify my closet :D Just love your videos and the calmness in them

is so calm, admired your life style and attitude.
