ABOUT A TO ZEN LIFE
Along my journey to let go of 30 years of clutter, I accidentally became a minimalist and it was life-changing.

Before, I was an emotional hoarder with nothing but the clutter from lost loved ones — and $25,000 of debt — to my name. Now I have a beautiful home in Europe, a happy family, live debt-free, and — best of all — wake up to a life that I’m EXCITED to live every day.

Do you agree or disagree that we all have the same 24 hours in a day? 🤔 Please give this video a like + comment below to share your thoughts!

I don't think we all have the same 24 hours a day. Someone with a full time job, plus a family of their own, plus a caregiver for elderly family member truly does not have much time to themselves. Same goes for those with chronic illnesses.

We use a paper calendar for our family’s appointments as we are a single car family. Whoever ‘books’ the car first usually gets it and if there are conflicts we work out compromises. We live in the country and so cannot walk or bike to town. We also look at the calendar in the morning and before bed so we can plan our days. It is our ‘command center’ and works well for us.⏰

awh, yes mommy-busy in no joke.

i habit stacked exercise in to get movement in throughout the day. for example, i do sit-ups while my coffee brews & some wall push ups after i brush my teeth, that sort of thing. i link the movement to something non-negotiable! ☕️☕️☕️

I like the batch idea and also use it for my cleaning. I used to pick one room at a time to focus on for a deep clean but you have to get a bunch of stuff out so now I batch chore. I deep clean both bathrooms at the same time, I change all the sheets the same day.If I see the light switch plate next to the garage needs cleaning I make a quick pass through the house and wipe every one.

I still use paper lists because I like writing and the art of crossing off. I do have a lot more time but now fight feeling lazy…

After 2 years off of social media, I reactivated my account exactly 1 month ago. To that I restarted perusing the major online news channels.

I lost about 8 days’ worth of time!!!

Point taken.

Amen to Mom busy. Even when they are grown. Also I’m glad I’m not the only one that has to set multiple alarms to remember everything, love all the tips and your videos keep them coming.

[LilyLightOne]

⏳️ having kids or even pets in your house definitely changes what you end up doing with your time. Thanks for your tips, I appreciate what you do 😃

[karlyp]

Batching tasks together helps so much!!! I try to do this as much as possible

[darlenebergantzel]

Love these tips. I remember having a full-time job (with long commutes each way), going to college, and raising 2 kids all at the same time. I was really productive with my time back then and somehow had time every Sunday for fun family activities. It’s funny that after graduating college, I seem to have less free time and things became more hectic.

[carmenlheureux]

Very useful habits. Thank you! Can’t wait for a house tour!

[tammycrookshanks]

Love your Germany home can't wait to see the tour of your new home!

[eileenalmeida]

I am 70 yrs young and still have not mastered this, but I keep on trying😎

[TheSunnySA]

Yes! Nothing like mom (plus teacher!) busy!!!

[blujeans]

I prefer paper calendars and reminders, since - like notifications - it is beyond tempting to scroll a little bit every time I use the phone. Excessive scrolling - like now - is a habit I would love to break. But without us 'junkies' you creators would be out of work...and you all know you follow all the tricks in the book to keep us watching!

[ValyaDream]

About notifications of appointments - so true! I add them to calendar one day earlier to remind me. And when I plan smth, I open the calendar and can understand which days are occupied

[brzoskwinka]

Watching fourth time. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[ashley.hulsey]

I do the exact same thing with my phone calendar, and I have since my son was born 11 years ago! If it something my husband needs as well (kids school day closed, sports practices, sports games, play dates, etc), I send the invitation to his calendar immediately too.

[eileenheinkel]

These are GREAT ideas; many of which I use and they are indeed fantastic time management ideas.
