I love cooking and doing laundry. I don't mind doing the dishes and counters. Even putting stuff away is ok. Actual cleaning is the bane of my existence. I'm so thankful I'm at the point where u can get a cleaner help me once a week with that so whatever I do besides that is a plus and I can just choose what I like to do
OH! Hooray! You just reminded me I need to go hang my laundry (It's currently 93 degrees F and 13% humidity here in Boise Idaho. I will save $ utilizing the power of the sun)! House cleaner for sure! I don't mind laundry, don't have a dish washing machine and I LOVE to cook.
My aunt, she loved laundry but hated cleaning.She would iron her pillow cases.Iron her sheets, iron her kitchen towels, the dishcloths. you name, she would iron that fancy crease in jeans and dress pants 😮
Chef, please! I can put off the other things until I feel like it. 😆 I enjoyed learning about SDT and it made me think of a RUclipsr who discussed how much they hated to break down cardboard boxes when tidying up. That task is super easy for me because I use to have a job where I broke down hundreds of boxes every shift so the few I have to deal with at home seem like nothing.
Wow, this video was so full of new ideas! I haven’t seen new-to-me ideas on the cleaning/decluttering subject in a long time. Starting with tasks you like is a completely new concept to me. What an interesting idea! SDT -why have I not heard about this?!? The more we do it the more we like it? If I actually take time to ponder on this idea, it is true! I think I conflate repetition and boring - and this hinders consistency and thus improvement. Wow! Thank you for all of the ideas in this video!
If I could have someone come do the deep cleaning in the “wet” rooms (bathrooms and kitchen) that would be my first choice. Window washer would be a huge bonus! 😊 Great video, lots of food for thought.
Thanks for the video! I realized with the right products and technique that make cleaning so much easier you can even like to clean the toilette 😊The only thing I never liked ( and always had to do in my teenage years) was cleaning the dishes. The first thing I bought in my own apartment was a dishwasher!
I would definitely choose a chef & dishes person. Oye. I will do everything else that needs to be done and leave the dishes for last. Sometimes I will watch an episode of "Hoarders" just to get some motivation to clean the kitchen. You're wearing a hoodie. Is it still cold in Vancouver? We are broiling here in south central Tennessee.
agree with the flow thing! i like a tidy house so i do a bit along the way. friend here is so opposite. i got to where i just shut the 2nd bedroom door so i don't have to look at the mess. hard to enjoy cooking a meal when i have to move a bunch of stuff to have room - dude dishwasher is right there; why put dishes in sink?!
I’m your girl, but here in RUclips land! LOL. Keep working on it (especially the mindset pieces) and you’ll be your own fairy godmother before long! 💪🏼🩵🦋 (Also, I have coaching services, if you’re interested’ check out my website for more info!)
Ouch. Hard decision. I love gardening but now it’s so tough on my back and bad ankle (severe tendon issues) . That said, I never learned to cook, and that means standing after caring for my grandchild. Hmm chef, my garden is tiny anyway.
I love and I mean love cleaning. I love to go down and get the toothbrush in between the baseboards and behind the toilet. You name and I love it, but I loathe, and I hate. I hate I hate sorting papers..
Interesting! Maybe you could sort papers for 5 minutes and then clean for 10 as your reward?! Good luck. Happily, much of the NEW things in your life could become digital, so the piles of paper that you have are a finite amount and you can likely prevent new piles from arriving! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
I'd like a Jill of all trades, to do whatever i don't feel like/up to doing! It's not always the same thing. ATM, she could do the edges and mow the lawn!
Chef. I don't mind the other chores but I'd love it if someone cooked healthy meals for me without me having to stare into the fridge and pantry and wonder how to turn ingredients into something edible.
🙏🏼🌿💛 Maybe you could find some “ready to eat” meals that would be just that! There are lots of options… and also strategies to do it yourself. I hope it gets easier! 🌺
Good that you’ve gotten the hang of it and okay that you have this boundary of needing to be alone! Have you tried cooking on your own? If you live with other people though, I hope you can also share the cooking! 🤞🏼💪🏼🙏🏼
And to think that some people actually have one! Seriously though, there are so many “made in advance” options these days, so I hope you can find something to cut corners in the cooking department if you want to! 💪🏼
I keep the house very minimalist and tidy but really dislike cleaning! So it's neat but sometimes grungy and I really have to work at it. Mopping is my downfall.
I hear you! There are definitely cleaning routines that work better at different stages of family life! My advice is to start getting them involved, even in little ways. Also, you can make sure they have a snack and then say that you are going to go clean a certain thing and if they ask for more food, say that you’re in the middle of the cleaning and they need to wait. Not sure how old they are or how many, so you need to adapt these to what makes sense for you! 🤞🏼💪🏼🦋
I laughed when Robyn asked the question because I already (happily) pay someone to mow, trim and blow the yard. I have the crew come for seasonal cleanups a few times a year. The growing season in my area is from early March into late November. Every Wednesday my yard looks so nice whether I do anything out there or not. What a treat for me.
I decluttered so much cause l detest cleaning. Less l have less cleaning. I no longer at 65 am precious re stuff. It depresses me. Clear tables and floors, little furniture. I am now saving for a easier floor to clean and hoover. My most hated job...bloody floors.
I love being domestic! I adored Rachel and Phobie from Friends but I’m a Monika unfortunately. I never had to reckon with a clutter problem to content with Just addicted to minimalism videos lol (like minded people I guess)

I totally agree!
I would want a housecleaner 😂 Cooking, laundry, putting dishes away, and tidying I don't mind.
Maybe you could get one!
Or imagine that you are your own house cleaner and then “pay” yourself with a special meal or something!
I do not enjoy cooking, so I would happily let someone else cook every day.😁

Ironing used to be a WAY bigger deal than it is these days, eh? I’m sure there are re a bunch of reasons for this, but wow… yeah… 🙏🏼

You and me both!

Awesome! 👏🏼
Yes
It’s all about the mindset and the equipment!
Cook hands down. I love cleaning 😅
Lucky you! I love cooking! I wish we could swap!
I love vacuuming, since you get to see how clean your carpet becomes with the sweep of the machine.
I love it! Great! 😊
Your kitchen is beautiful! Great suggestions, love your videos , they're very helpful.
Thanks so much! 😊 🙏🏼

Really enjoy your videos..keep them coming!
Glad you like them!
Yes❣️. I can’t do anything else if the kitchen is messy. lol. I also eat some of my dessert first, then my food 🤣. Great video 💜
haha, that's fun!
All of em!!!!! 😂 But house cleaner would be the top.... But they also have to help me declutter and organize first.

Thank you!
Thanks for this awesome video!!! :0)
Glad you enjoyed it! 🌺
Good Morning, Robyn! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Good morning!!

Oooh! That’s a good one! 🤞🏼💪🏼🦋
Chef. I don't mind the other chores but I'd love it if someone cooked healthy meals for me without me having to stare into the fridge and pantry and wonder how to turn ingredients into something edible.
🙏🏼🌿💛

I hope it gets easier! 🌺
I already have a chef (my husband) and I don't mind laundry so I'd have to go with housekeeper/cleaner.
Sounds like a great balance and I hear you on the cleaning and deep cleaning! 🙏🏼
Can you link your under the cabinet trash cans?
They are from Home Depot 🙏🏼
I need a cook. I dislike cooking. I’m getting the hang of cleaning, but only if no one is in the room with me.
Good that you’ve gotten the hang of it and okay that you have this boundary of needing to be alone! Have you tried cooking on your own?
If you live with other people though, I hope you can also share the cooking! 🤞🏼💪🏼🙏🏼
Chef please!! 👩🏼🍳😘
And to think that some people actually have one!
Seriously though, there are so many “made in advance” options these days, so I hope you can find something to cut corners in the cooking department if you want to! 💪🏼
Cheeks sent me high - that's how I pronounce the flow guy's name 😸
I love cooking, but would want someone to clean the mess.
I hear ya! That’s why we have a rotation on dishes duty here. I hope you can find a system to help you too, even if you live alone! 🤞🏼🙏🏼🦋
Chef!!!
Right? We have to have dinner EVERY day??
@@MinimalistHome yea and I had to be careful what I eat so someone who could prepare what I need without me thinking about it would be awesome 😆
I keep the house very minimalist and tidy but really dislike cleaning! So it's neat but sometimes grungy and I really have to work at it. Mopping is my downfall.
Thanks for sharing! Maybe you need a new / easy to use mop! 🙏🏼💪🏼🤞🏼
@MinimalistHome also though, I bet your place LOOKS clean for a long time if it’s fairly minimal!
What can get in your way
..... Children. Any flow i get into stops abruptly with needs. They have a lot of needs. They eat a lot.
I hear you! There are definitely cleaning routines that work better at different stages of family life! My advice is to start getting them involved, even in little ways. Also, you can make sure they have a snack and then say that you are going to go clean a certain thing and if they ask for more food, say that you’re in the middle of the cleaning and they need to wait.

I want a gardener. Now. Please.
LOL 🍓🌷

Chef. Then I might eat “right”.😊
Ooooh! Good one! 💪🏼🌿
I love being domestic! I adored Rachel and Phobie from Friends but I’m a Monika unfortunately.

🌺🙏🏼👍🏼
I would choose a chef so that I could eat healthy.
No sound
Oohh, try again. I think it’s working for others.
Ouch. Hard decision. I love gardening but now it’s so tough on my back and bad ankle (severe tendon issues) .
That said, I never learned to cook, and that means standing after caring for my grandchild.

Oh man!
