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 💜

[shelbizzle]

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!! 😩💖

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.

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

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.

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

[amandaknight]

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.

As for music, having one favorite artist with a great musical variety: Taylor Swift 😜

[nidhirakyan]

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.

[ToFinallyLive]

Thanks for the tips. I try to simplify my life by not overthinking and just living and savoring the present moment.

[lillianlowe]

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?

[AD-jjhd]

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.

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

[TheImperfectReader]

Ash! You can be a hand model...amazing.

[PatrikKron]

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.

[simplyrhiza]

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🥰

[lindseyhoffmann]

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.

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!
