In a nutshell - 1) 20 minute daily cleaning - morning and night 10 mins each 2) Scheduling deep clean on weekly/monthly basis 3) Clean the fridge everytime you do grocery shopping 4) Clean as you cook 5) Fold the Konmari way (its a specific folding method precribed by famous japanese author Marie Kondo) 6) Make a home for every item! 7) Create a declutter bag 8) Scan important items Hey! But pls do watch the whole video. ❤️ It's a treat for the soul, like always. So aesthetically and spiritually pleasing if that makes sense? Amazing work like always, Sophie! ❤️
Such a great tip isn’t it? I’m incorporating it as well. Particularly helpful with a small baby, when I feel there’s no way to spare large stretches of time :)
I used to make my bed as soon as I woke up as well, but then i learned that, actually, it is very important to let your bed "breathe" every single morning at least 30 minutes after you wake up: in this way, your bedsheets will have time to 'breathe' and let go of all the trapped air from the night before. I felt like giving you this advice since i find it very helpful for my personal higene.
Absolutely correct, Emma! I also got to know about it recently. I make my bed after I am done with filling my gratitude journal, brushing my teeth, chatting with my husband, playing with my dog. If I am not doing anything and I look at an un-made bed, it makes me uncomfortable 🤷 So I do it just after I am done with all morning chores!
"If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way." - small things become great things. "Either you run the day or the day runs you." - it is both. Sometimes, you will find the moment when 'this' time is manageable, and often, you will find the moment catching you..
I think since I pursued minimal lifestyle, cleaning and organizing a home, I noticed I have greater peace in my mind, fewer distractions and my focus is much higher.
I live in Sri Lanka. Our country lacks knowledge and inclination in this regard. I would love to simply live the way you have so far. But I do not get any support from my wife for this. But I am committed to it to the best of my ability. It's nice to see the experience of people like you. Thank you so much
Sophie, you truly are a gem. Didn't realize it, but I've been doing 5 of the things you mentioned for years lol. (Great minds think alike). The other three were super great tips. For cleaning, I never leave dishes lying around, all goes to the kitchen, (even if I, on rare occasions don't do the dishes). I'm not a busy body when people visit, but at the end of the evening,, it's nothing to cart dirty mugs to the kitchen sink! The idea of waking up to dirty cups in the living room etc creeps me out. Blessings
This is one of the best videos I've seen on this subject. I can actually envision doing these things and can see how effective they'd be. Thank you. Simple is relaxing and relaxing is key to good health and a positive state of mind. I'm looking forward to finally tackling the area of my life concerning belongings and organization. I love your channel. Thank you.
I’ve been loving your videos Sophie!! They are so calm, peaceful, and helpful in this day and age. Please keep up with the good quality. I really miss Maui and I wish I could go back soon, what a paradise on earth
Well done Sophie!!! I love the idea of spending 20 minutes daily cleaning while your energy levels are high. Today I tackled the bathroom drawers and found long “lost” items. Now I’m motivated to do the cabinets too. Here’s two things that helped us reduce clutter and keep track of receipts: I labeled 13 pockets in an accordion file. The first pocket I labelled “current” . The second pocket is labelled January... the third February, and so on through December. Whenever we come back from shopping, we place the receipts in the “ current” folder. When a statement comes in the mail, I check the receipts against the statement. At the end of the month I place the receipts into the appropriate month along with any statements for Mastercard, Visa, or Discover. We save all of the receipts and statements for one year, in case we need to return or follow up on a warranty . When the receipts and statements become one year old they are shredded. However, major purchase receipts, like appliances, are kept throughout the life of the appliance, in case we need warranty work done. This has really helped keep our bill paying organized! The other thing that has helped us is that I have a large envelope labeled for each year. Any pieces of paper that we think we will need for filing our taxes, are placed in the envelope. When we’re ready to file, everything that we need should be in the envelope!
I always love reading how you and Gayle do things in your home 🥰 Sounds like such a great system and way to organize everything. I will definitely borrow some of your tips! Thank you so much Mark!
@@MalamaLife thanks Sophie! I know it’s a little dated because we’re going more and more away from paper receipts, but we seem to still collect quite a few. It’s better than putting everything into my sock drawer! 😅
I have watched all your vids, and I resonate with your simple lifestyle with mental and physical well-being, and just loving ourselves first and taking care of ! I love to cook and bake, and clean as I cook most of the time, well, a, pretty well-organized.
I started to watch your channel when you had about 7,000 subscribers. It's so cool to see that your channel is growing so fast. It's so peaceful and helpful, amazing that more and more people appreciate that 🥰
Thank you for supporting me from 7K!! that is so cool :) and I am extremely grateful for this community. I feel like I have the best people watching these videos..
"We all deserve to live in a clean and welcoming environment." Great video! I love practicing minimalism. My landlord just told us he's selling our house, so we have to move. Minimalism makes the moving process much easier, too. Looking forward to continuing minimalist practices in my new home
That moment when I started decluttering again while watching or listening to this video...and it was like almost all of your videos were played.❤️ Thank you Sophie!🙂
Over 2 months ago since you posted this video, I know. As all your minimalism videos, I LOVE it. We carry so much weight on our shoulders! Make time to fly light, lol.
I like to let our bed air out for at least 30mins before making it. I open windows if I can or at least turn the fan on high, and pull all the bedding back. After tea and before getting ready I can then make the bed. We release a lot of moisture while we sleep so this allows the mattress and bedding some time to release that moisture. It also helps to dry out dust mites.
I heard this from another comment! I had no idea but definitely an important step because we sweat a lot during our sleep 😂 thank you for sharing Sarah ❤
GREAT video!! While I make our bed every morning, I open the window (even in winter) and pull the top sheet and blanket back and allow the room and bed to air out as I take a quick shower. This removes any odors from sweat as we slept. Then I make the bed. As minimalists we are also zero waste so we avoid buying packaged foods as much as possible. And we do NOT buy soda and other 'food' items that lack nutrition and value because it's a waste of $$$. And yes, we take care of what we have so we don't need to replace items. We also avoid fads and adhere to the 'a place for everything and everything in it's place'. Which saves a LOT of $$$$ because one isn't buying things they already have. Cleaning as we cook is so important. We also do the dishes as soon as we are done eating. Something Bea (Bay ya) Johnson of the Zero Waste Home also stresses.
Thank you so much for sharing! living a zero waste lifestyle is something that I am quite interested in. So much of everything is packaged and it's so so wasteful. I love all your ideas 🥰 thanks for watching Beth
Thank you for another beautiful video Sophie 🙏 I've adopted the cleaning principle of '5 minutes matters'. So, similarly to you, I try to clean up as much mess as I can while waiting for my dinner to cook. The '5 minutes matters' rule can easily turn into longer, however as I've only committed to 5 minutes it doesn't feel overwhelming to start with. Once again, a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS ON REACHING 50,000 SUBSCRIBERS THIS WEEK 🎉🎉🎉 I'm positive you'll be reaching 100,000 in no time. Blessings from Queensland, Australia 🦘🇦🇺🐨
I love the 5 minute matters rule! Most times, that's all it takes to put things away and clean up :) also 5 minutes isn't so intimidating so its a good starting point ❤ thank you for all your support and kind comments Amanda! I appreciate you so much
I really enjoyed this video Sophie, and found it so relaxing 😌 Thanks for reminding me about the little things that I've either got out of the habit doing or need to start doing to make life easier, less stressful and more peaceful ❤
Your system is most affective and always works with myself. Caring for your home environment is an important fact of the way we live. Thank you for sharing another brilliant video ❤ sending blessings 🙌🙏❤
Hi, my name is Ana, and I live in Brazil, I started to accompany you these days and spent two days translating this video. I paid all her advice and loved it. Keep posting, I will continue to follow you. A big kiss Malama❤️
There is some great advice here for someone who might be struggling in their life, to help simplify and streamline. Sophie has a very calm and at peace tone in her voice.
I too have started to clean the fridge everytime I grocery shop. I need to do better with the declutter of my bag. I find the schedule clean up of good help in having a clean environment.
Your videos are so calming and so beautifully and aesthetically made! Thank you for sharing with us all of this advice! Also, good choice on choosing FAGE brand for your yogurt. One of the best original greek brands and I confirm that, for I'm greek. Kisses from Athens!
Valuable information - which is really required in the modern days. I think in our era of living , except breathing the rest people missed to follow . According to our own tradition and culture there are lots of examples laid by our own ancestors and family in terms of organising things and how to live but we forgot to follow or we least give importance by saying we are modern. I’m glad that You are bringing it back like gentle reminder 👍👍👍 Great work keep doing
Wow! That is something I’ve been doing for years, making my bed. One tiny difference, I have to run to the bathroom first. I also remove the comforter to shake it off, clean my bed, sanitize it. Takes less than 5 minutes.
Hi Sophie. I've started going through paper documents received in the mail and requesting digital statements for banking, retirement, health care, insurance, etc. This has really helped reduce paper clutter! I also made shortcuts in my browser to the necessary websites so I can get information immediately, instead of digging through stacks of paper.
Oh I love that you made shortcuts on your browser. I am sure it saves you time and effort to access those websites. I felt really anxious about the all the paper clutter, so this is a good system :) thanks Sean!
I wish 10min morning and afternoon cleaning would work for me. with four dogs that conatantly go to the yard and bringing dust to the house, and shedding , with working from home situation, I need to take atleast 30mins in the morning and 1:30 at night for daily cleaning, deep cleaning every three days! but I enjoy doing them though it's very time consuming and I have lots of others things to do. seeing dog's hair around, messy home and dusts every morning are the signs of happiness, joy and warm home. I'm grateful for that
That's really heartwarming 🥰 I never thought of it like that. Having two dogs feels like a handful, so I can't imagine having four. Dogs make the house messy and dirty of course, but for me I wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks for sharing
Another thing I like to do, similar to the cooking routine, is clean up on little thing while in the area. Like I'm I'm in the bathroom, wipe down the counter with an antibacterial cloth. Then the next time, do the toilet. After a shower, spray and wipe down the shower. It's really a great way to clean things up.
Your decluttering videos motivate me a lot, so I also really appreciate these cleaning tips! The declutter box is a very nice idea that I'm going to try out. Thanks ❤️
Thank you Patricia 😊 the basket makes things so much easier for me to declutter! Also gives me time to think about the items if I really want to get rid of it 💕
Getting a high quality air purifier helps remove and prevent dust. Also breathing in clean air (pollution and bacteria/viruses) is healthier. I have a robot vacuum, so it’s very easy to keep the floor clean. I also want to get a robot mop.
I always clean while cooking haha so that I can eat straight away without having to stop to clean dishes first 😂👍 but the cleaning fridge after grocery shopping is such a good idea! Gonna try that
Again great video. Now documents are on-line so I do not have to print or scan them. I love books, but audiobooks take way less space. If you have an account. You have an offer everyday. You pay maybe 10% of the value of the book. So it's nice. Also you can learn a lot about everything. I also can listen a book while I work. I love it.
Another great and helpful video. Thank you. Some of these I already do, but cleaning the refrigerator before putting away groceries is a new idea. I'm going to start this week. :-) I love the KonMari method so much. I tend to practice that more than minimalism. It truly did change my life.
Thank you Susan 🥰 I used to dread cleaning out the fridge, but now it's just part of a routine. I hope it helps you too! I love her folding techniques so much. It makes it so much easier to see everything.
Love this... the one thing we haven’t tried is the upright folding method. We have only a few things that aren’t hung in our closet, but we are definitely gonna try this 😊🖤
please make a video for super busy people, how should they manage their little time? (4 hours a day spare time, when they have to eat, shower and prepare for another working day). this would be highly appreciated. thank you! keep up the good work and the beautiful relaxing videos.
I also try my best to clean as I cook. Its a challenge because while say chicken is cooking I am cutting up and washing vegetables or making a salad or prepping or cooking the side dishes.

Hello sofie after few days that i found your Channel i almost finished watching all your vedios and now im just looking forward to your new vedios coming.I feel so calm when u speak and you speak from the heart with the clarity voice.I hope you make more and more vedios to inspire other to live more intentionally.New subscriber and forever Fan of you....
Hi there, I'm a new subscriber I really love your contents. I am a person who's living in a very fast paced life and when I came across your videos and channel I'm slowly discovering that slow living is exactly what I need. When I started watching your videos, I'm now trying to slowly incorporate slow living in my life and watching your videos have been my guide. :) you are a great blessing. Just continue sharing and doing what you do. God bless ^_^
I used to put everything in junk drawers, but now I tell myself to make the extra effort to put it away 😁I hope you try it and hope it works for you too!
Loving all of these beautiful tips Sophie 💖 Thank you. I would love to see a video with your favorite clothing brands. I’m trying to find more stores that are organic and sustainable (one thing that I find difficult is that these clothing stores can be expensive for me) if you have any stores that you recommend I’d love to see it 🙏🏼
You make such beautiful and useful videos! So glad I found your channel. I’d really love to create a capsule wardrobe with pieces I love... and I love your olive green shorts!!! Where are they from?! 😍🌺
🇬🇧 You must let your bed air first before making it. I normally get up, pull the covers back and open the window, have my breakfast then go and make my bed. I have started to declutter cause what is the point of holding onto stuff you don’t use, let someone else make use of it. X
In a nutshell -
1) 20 minute daily cleaning - morning and night 10 mins each
2) Scheduling deep clean on weekly/monthly basis
3) Clean the fridge everytime you do grocery shopping
4) Clean as you cook
5) Fold the Konmari way (its a specific folding method precribed by famous japanese author Marie Kondo)
6) Make a home for every item!
7) Create a declutter bag
8) Scan important items
Hey! But pls do watch the whole video. ❤️ It's a treat for the soul, like always. So aesthetically and spiritually pleasing if that makes sense?
Amazing work like always, Sophie! ❤️
Thank you so much for this Sonika :) I appreciate it so much.
No I'm not gonna watch it
Thank you!!!
My favourite (underrated) cleaning hack is cleaning/organising my room before I travel. Coming back to that welcoming space is bliss.
I always do that as well! Such a good feeling coming back to a clean house 🤩
Wao
I love that! 🥰 hopefully when we can travel again, I'll use this cleaning tip :) thanks for sharing
So true 🥰
I agree with this. I love coming home to a clean house when I get back from traveling. ❤
10 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes in the evening. I started today with that cleaning habbit. Thank you! 🙏
I'm so happy to hear that! 10 minute morning and evening works really well for me 🙂 hope it helps you too
Such a great tip isn’t it? I’m incorporating it as well. Particularly helpful with a small baby, when I feel there’s no way to spare large stretches of time :)
You never failed to inspire me

Yes you are correct. I didn’t read comments before posting, but do the same. Read before posting 🤦🏽♀️
Absolutely correct, Emma! I also got to know about it recently. I make my bed after I am done with filling my gratitude journal, brushing my teeth, chatting with my husband, playing with my dog.

Yes! It really saves me time 😊 I wish I did it sooner. Thank you for watching ❤

Daily cleaning is so powerful! It even calms you down mentally :)
Yes! has huge mental benefit for me too 🥰
I live in Sri Lanka. Our country lacks knowledge and inclination in this regard. I would love to simply live the way you have so far. But I do not get any support from my wife for this.

I love the idea of spending 20 minutes daily cleaning while your energy levels are high.
Today I tackled the bathroom drawers and found long “lost” items. Now I’m motivated to do the cabinets too.
Here’s two things that helped us reduce clutter and keep track of receipts:
I labeled 13 pockets in an accordion file. The first pocket I labelled “current” . The second pocket is labelled January... the third February, and so on through December.
Whenever we come back from shopping, we place the receipts in the “ current” folder. When a statement comes in the mail, I check the receipts against the statement.

You are so fortunate to be like..enjoy yourself, keep it up👍
Thank you so much Jesse 💕😊 I appreciate your support!

@@MalamaLife You are most welcome! Looking forward to more calming and informative videos. keep it up! ♥
I wish 10min morning and afternoon cleaning would work for me. with four dogs that conatantly go to the yard and bringing dust to the house, and shedding , with working from home situation, I need to take atleast 30mins in the morning and 1:30 at night for daily cleaning, deep cleaning every three days! but I enjoy doing them though it's very time consuming and I have lots of others things to do. seeing dog's hair around, messy home and dusts every morning are the signs of happiness, joy and warm home. I'm grateful for that
That's really heartwarming 🥰 I never thought of it like that. Having two dogs feels like a handful, so I can't imagine having four. Dogs make the house messy and dirty of course, but for me I wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks for sharing
Another thing I like to do, similar to the cooking routine, is clean up on little thing while in the area. Like I'm I'm in the bathroom, wipe down the counter with an antibacterial cloth. Then the next time, do the toilet. After a shower, spray and wipe down the shower. It's really a great way to clean things up.
yes!! I love efficiency
Your decluttering videos motivate me a lot, so I also really appreciate these cleaning tips! The declutter box is a very nice idea that I'm going to try out. Thanks ❤️
Thank you Patricia 😊 the basket makes things so much easier for me to declutter! Also gives me time to think about the items if I really want to get rid of it 💕
Thank you for all the great tips! I loved the video!
Sophie, another great video and happy Sunday!
Happy Sunday Nicole! thanks for watching :)
I am also inculcating minimalisim into my life. so helpful to watch your videos. alsoo house tour awaitedd.
Thank you so much 😍 I am so happy to hear that! Many more videos to come :)
Getting a high quality air purifier helps remove and prevent dust. Also breathing in clean air (pollution and bacteria/viruses) is healthier. I have a robot vacuum, so it’s very easy to keep the floor clean. I also want to get a robot mop.
You’re an inspiration Sophie 💕 Love you for all that you are and all that you do 🌺
Thank you so much Elan 🥰
I always clean while cooking haha so that I can eat straight away without having to stop to clean dishes first 😂👍 but the cleaning fridge after grocery shopping is such a good idea! Gonna try that
Dishes is my least favorite chore, but ever since doing this, it's been a breeze 😁💕 loving it! Thanks for watching!
Ooomoooo!!Your subscriber is growing,..Way more to go!! Congrats, Sophie!! 👏👏DESERVED!!!💕💕
Awwww you are so sweet. A BIG THANK YOU!!! :)
I started taking photos of my important stuff also! Especially recipes & paperwork! So much easier to find on your phone ☺️☺️☺️
Yes I love that i can type it and find it right away 😍 so efficient. Happy Sunday 💕
Again great video. Now documents are on-line so I do not have to print or scan them. I love books, but audiobooks take way less space. If you have an account. You have an offer everyday. You pay maybe 10% of the value of the book. So it's nice. Also you can learn a lot about everything. I also can listen a book while I work. I love it.
Another great and helpful video. Thank you. Some of these I already do, but cleaning the refrigerator before putting away groceries is a new idea. I'm going to start this week. :-) I love the KonMari method so much. I tend to practice that more than minimalism. It truly did change my life.
Thank you Susan 🥰 I used to dread cleaning out the fridge, but now it's just part of a routine. I hope it helps you too! I love her folding techniques so much. It makes it so much easier to see everything.
This video was a great addition to my Sunday morning coffee time. ❤️
yay! 🥰 I'm glad to hear that! enjoy your Sunday
Thanks for making this video🙏. This exactly what I need now. Thank you.
🥰 thank you so much
Just found you on my feed. Great video and well presented. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching :)
Perfect for this long weekend! Definitely using this later today 💗
Thank you so much Nicole! enjoy your long weekend 🥰
Thank you for sharing helpful tips, looking forward for your videos.❣️
Thank you so much Elani 🥰
Waiting for your videos..... listening your voice makes my mind soothing and relaxing. I love your way of explaining things. Love from INDIA 💝
Thank you :) makes me so happy to hear that!
Hi Sophie. I tell family members that everything should have its own place...great tip btw🥰🥰
I love that you have a system for your family members :) I hope it works and your home is nice and tidy
Love this... the one thing we haven’t tried is the upright folding method. We have only a few things that aren’t hung in our closet, but we are definitely gonna try this 😊🖤
I know that it's not for everyone, but maybe it'll be helpful for you! definitely try it :)
Absolutely loved these tips ❤️ Am in the process of decluttering of my home and all these cleaning habits will really help me ☺️
Yes I hope so! these cleaning tips really help after we have decluttered our homes :) happy Sunday!
please make a video for super busy people, how should they manage their little time?
(4 hours a day spare time, when they have to eat, shower and prepare for another working day). this would be highly appreciated. thank you! keep up the good work and the beautiful relaxing videos.
I also try my best to clean as I cook. Its a challenge because while say chicken is cooking I am cutting up and washing vegetables or making a salad or prepping or cooking the side dishes.
I've learned English and I watch your video to learn it,your video is really great,I really love it,thank you for your sharing
Hey, if u r looking for ways to improve ur English, then I make podcast episode about being the best version of yourself. Hearing the other people speak helps a lot and I have done things like that in my past.
Here’s the link to one of my episodes:

Hi there, I'm a new subscriber I really love your contents. I am a person who's living in a very fast paced life and when I came across your videos and channel I'm slowly discovering that slow living is exactly what I need. When I started watching your videos, I'm now trying to slowly incorporate slow living in my life and watching your videos have been my guide. :) you are a great blessing. Just continue sharing and doing what you do. God bless ^_^
Such a sweet comment. Thank you so much 🥰 I appreciate it! definitely excited to share more
I love minimalist it gives me peaceful and in order to have few stuffs inside my house...
I agree! The fewer the stuff, the easier it is to clean :)
Love👏🏼this! 🙌🏽 Feeling motivated to finish up some overdue home organization projects!
Yay! Happy to hear that :) I'll also be cleaning and organizing today haha
Such useful tips! I especially like the idea of putting everything in a designated place. I’m terrible for allowing things to pile up on countertops 🙈
I used to put everything in junk drawers, but now I tell myself to make the extra effort to put it away 😁I hope you try it and hope it works for you too!
New subscriber! I'm totally in love with your videos! They give calm and motivation 😌
Thank you so much Alejandra 🥰 thank you for your support!
Loving all of these beautiful tips Sophie 💖 Thank you. I would love to see a video with your favorite clothing brands. I’m trying to find more stores that are organic and sustainable (one thing that I find difficult is that these clothing stores can be expensive for me) if you have any stores that you recommend I’d love to see it 🙏🏼
I am planning a video on this for the future 🥰❤ stay tuned! Thanks for watching
I love your videos ! 🧡

Aw thank you so much 😊💕
Really love this❤️
🇬🇧 You must let your bed air first before making it. I normally get up, pull the covers back and open the window, have my breakfast then go and make my bed.
I have started to declutter cause what is the point of holding onto stuff you don’t use, let someone else make use of it. X
Thank you for this! some comment mentioned this and I had no idea :) thanks for watching Carolyn
Loving your videos, so calm & inspiring😌 Where is that round ceramic looking diffuser from!??
Thank you! It was a gift from my sister actually I'm not sure what brand it is 😍 happy sunday
Are you the musician in your home? I’m curious about all the instruments 😍😍
I'd like to think that I am the musician in the house 😆, but the true musician is my husband! 😍
Feeling motivated to do some cleaning n decluttering
Yes!! happy to hear that :)
