    Around 13:00. Right on! Say "no" to social invitations that are not "best" for you (not best timing, not best size of crowd) and your need for energy reserves. On the other side of the coin, respect those who do say "no" and don't badger them with reasons to attend that fit your needs, not their needs. I like to reserve Sundays (no outside events) for self care and home care. I have to set really strong boundaries to say no to social invitations on Sundays because friends "need" to socialize. They will try to undermine my resolve with their agenda. I like to share my father's wise words..."Take care of yourself; do what's best for you; and don't jeopardize what you have built for yourself".

    I have gotten rid of almost everything in my house, & the items that I have are in a precarious place. There is almost nothing I want anymore! I got rid of my full sized refrig. & bought a dorm sized one. It works for me! Keeps me on my toes about keeping "left overs" to long & cooking too much in the first place. I could go on & on about how much "down sizing" I have done, but I will put it this way....if I don't use it every day, it's gone! I live alone & am 76 yrs. old, but I do worry about myself. I wonder a lot if this is normal or is something going wrong in my head. I do love the results. If I could just have a one room cabin & about 3 acres of land I would be happy in my mind. I wish minimalism had been going on (in my world) 30 years ago & accepted by people! I don't want to live in a tiny apartment crammed together with many, many other seniors, that is not my way of living. I know why there are so many street people, because they feel like I do & can't stand to live in senior housing & don't want to be tied down anymore to the "American dream"!. Today is the first time I have seen your vids & am enjoying them very much! Thank you for sharing your knowledge so young people may not have to be tied to unreality all their lives! LOL Judie

    Just before I started minimalising I brought some storage units for all my craft stuff that I might use or I might use for work. One, I've got rid of all of that stuff. Two, I was watching a new craft on youtube and thinking shall I buy..., then remembering that the three craft things I kept I realy love so spending time with those. Third, the storage units I brought are sitting empty in one of my rooms-I've been thinking about them the last few weeks I must take them to the charity shop.

    On the point of food....I wish fridges were smaller. The trend to larger appliances in the kitchen is not one I like. I used to have an "apartment" sized fridge in my home and it fit just the right amount of food. I had to buy a new fridge and it is so much larger than the old one....food gets lost in it! I was over buying at first to have it look "full" the way the old one did, but all that happened is that food went to waste. Now my fridge looks almost bare, but it is the right amount of food. Strange situation......

Smaller fridges can be found with some hunting and are worth it if you are customizing a smaller space. The big box stores all looked at me like I was a freak asking for slim fridge and micro washer I had seen on a boat. I found them after hunting. A small footprint.

    Becoming a Heart Mom : Silence your Notifications in Settings, then the sound or volume. It should be there somewhere. *Alllll those silly continuous notifications are stealing your attention from life, distracting you and taking you "out of the moment". Your mind is instantly shifted away to your phone. Don't let it!! Having a designated time after supper and dishes in DW or washed, etc would be better for you And your family. It takes a decision. Kids grow up too fast anyway, if you have kids, or other family enjoying time w you or just having a Conversation(!). *It's NOT fair to them whatsoever* for your full attention getting broken up Often because of having the sound On for all those relentless notifications...❤

    Skincare is actually pretty simple: all you really need is a gentle cleanser, moisturizer (put on a damp face after cleansing), and sunscreen. Sunscreen is very important.

    Should we add Pinterest . Gawd, I love that time-sucking app, lol. However, what I used to view as virtual scrapbooking has turned into a dream list. Time to start deleting...because it has caused me to hunger for things I didn’t even know I wanted.

    I look forward to your videos. I think they're good and I look forward to the coming changes. My husband and I do watch TV together. We don't have cable, but we do have a couple of subscriptions. We only watch while we're eating (we use tray tables in the living room). We also talk about the show while we're watching. We only watch about 30 minutes and don't mind stopping in the middle of an episode. Since we do it together as a hobby and it doesn't take up any time we normally wouldn't be taking for eating I see it as a good use of time. I go to bed earlier than my husband and so it's precious time for us to be together. It wasn't always the case and we used to watch a lot more, so we've definitely had to make it work for our lifestyle.

    I am at the point where I feel so burnt out with social media. I only have instagram and youtube.as for instagram, I dont follow much people. But for youtube it's even worse when i'm no longer interested in videos because they all talk about pretty much the same thing. Maybe I need to spend time offline so when I'm back, I have different things to see.

    I can completely relate to that. As a youtuber, there is an expectation that I am posting on social media, but I really don't like it that much and often don't feel like it is worth the time and mental energy! Definitely take the time for yourself if you need it!

    I think people binge-watch here in the states. There's a quiet war going on: the Minimalist Movement /Sustainable Simplicity (this is what I lean toward), and the Amazon Must-Have's/Hauls including beauty & so-called Lifestyle Guilt trips/(semi mindless consumerism) ... Also, I think the Millennial and Gen xxx can say No to other people a lot easier than the parents-generation. All the best to you as you concentrate on perfecting your videos. 100% support scaling down to improve your output.
