Video

Great video, paper plates and foil baking trays make a huge difference to me with my chronic pain/illnesses and yes laundry.

This video is how I found you! I had migraine at the time and now I have added lupus to the mix to keep it fun😉. Your videos have really helped me to get through some rough patches. Thank you!

I live in Qld .. I’m also chronicly ill …. On funded support, with some level of hoarding disorder... It’s so hard to get the right help. Thanks

Sarah I'm so glad you get to do this again. ❤

So good to see you You are my cheerleader!!

So lovely seeing you Sarah! I’ve been thinking of you and praying that you’re feeling okay 🥰

So happy to see a post from you and especially as it’s on a subject that affects me . Sending all the love ❤

Sara, thank you so much for this thoughtful video! I have enjoyed consuming content from very young, single, healthy, and/or male minimalists, but THIS video hit all the more realistic parts of my life, and made them feel doable! I felt especially seen when you mentioned that sometimes we have to own more items in order for our life to work. It’s hard to reconcile, as a person who wishes to live simply, that sometimes I need to own and wash more dishes because I just don’t feel well some days to keep up with a one-day supply. Thank you for bringing this up, for sharing your wisdom won through experience, and for being an uplifting influence in the simple living conversation! ❤

Oh Sarah, I’m glad you posted. I was thinking of you and praying for you last night!👍❤️🙏 so right about the amounts of things vary depending on circumstances. I can’t always do the laundry AND make the bed with fresh linen- very often those tasks need to be completed on different days hence I have 2 sets per bed. I do a dishwasher load every other day so my extra dishes are essential. I need to do a saved grocery list for delivery. I forgot the milk last order due to brain fog. I have MS and my husband died in March. I’m managing but I love tips and tricks from you as another survivor of chronic illness and the followers here who post their solutions. I’m Margery on the other socials

Maybe it doesn't directly relate to SOD but it is a start. czcams.com/video/okD7EBViQi4/video.html&pp=ygUmRHIuIFBhdWwgc2FsYWRpbm8gYW5kIERyLiBDaHJpcyBrbm9iYmU%3D

The right amount of stuff is sooo true. I cant wash dishes by hand, have to machine wash them. But I cant just fill the whole machine with four plates/mugs etc, one needs to do a whole load (otherwise wasting water & electricity). So the right amount for us is enough to fill the machine and then a little extra for use when the machine is working 😊 Similar situation with laundry. I dont just throw everything in one load, I separate whites from darker colors. Some things needs hot water, other things a cold and delicate cykle. So need enough clothes and towels etc to last in between 😊

The right amount of "stuff" is different for different people: right on point. Before I retired, I could only count on doing laundry on the weekends at the most. In case I had to skip a week due to pain levels, I kept at least two weeks' worth of clothing (sets of underwear, bras, socks, pants, and shirts). That way I still had the clothing to be able to go to work. Paper plates are a necessity in our house. Before I married, no-cook meals and convenience food were my necessities because I do not usually have the energy to fix something most of the time. In fact, protein bars and milk are still my breakfast staples.

Perfect video

Talking about bugs.. i have decided to do floor sitting with an aim to do floor sleeping. I am currently sitting where 2 days ago a huge Huntsman walked from under my couch, between me feet and to under the TV. But being an Aussie, such spiders are part of life. I caught it and put it outside. Day 1 of sitting i felt drowsy, lay down where i was and began to drift off. Getting up of the ground is a forgotten habit but i think an essential one.

I want a new faucet for you. Something higher.

When I was in business school a few years ago I came up with the idea of a toy library not knowing they are becoming a thing! I love the idea of being able to use some of those big bulky toys for a bit and then giving them back.

Love the idea of floor sleeping as long as I have hardwood floors. I would rather sleep standing up than on a carpet floor since I am a clean freak and no matter how hard you try, carpets are the most disgusting thing ever

Thanks for this. We made 4 cups of dried TVP in the crockpot. Skipped the pasta sauce. Soaked the TVP then drained and pressed it. Added back in the crockpot with the 2 cans of diced tomatoes and some seasoning. Added the Beef broth dry mix. Worked great. Saved the Broth and part of the TVP to make Beef-ish Veg soup. Thanks for this version of how to make it. Much better than the 1st time we tried.

I've been sleeping on the floor for at least 2 years, I think. And honestly, I've been sleeping better on the floor too. Less back pain and all that. Anyway, I recently bought a Tablebed. It's a big table that converts into a bed if needed. Now I've got the option to sleep on the floor or on the bed. And I have to say, it's really great to have both options. P.S. It's always been a bit awkward to tell certain people that I don't have a bed in my home. But now that's not a problem anymore!

Thanks for this video and coupon code! 😊

Hope you’re ok ? ❤

Hello, this is a fantastic video, thank you, our kitchen is about the same size and I am struggling! Question, where do you keep your trash cans? We need recycling, food waste, and garbage bins here in Toronto (Canada). Thanks!

My one concern about putting the futon out in the sun is if a bird were to poop on it. How would I clean the futon or prevent the bird poop. Assuming I don’t have a covered deck/patio.

Ur nasty for that thumbnail. That’s head head if you know you know disgusting

I used to think that protein powders were a waste of money but now buy them for emergencies & the times when we don't feel like eating but need our essential amino acids throughout the day.

LOL an Australian WOULD describe Japanese winters as "extremely cold."

Beautiful video, Sarah. I was just sharing your channel with a like minded mumma and it made me revisit your channel and I found this one in particular to be a gem. I find I am already pretty good at cleaning, organising and minimising, but I am like you and I can get a little too wrapped up in it and forget to enjoy the little moments which make up our lives. I am always telling my husband, you know these are the good times we will look back on when our kids were young and everyone still lives under one roof. ❤

I love the bed, live in the US. Went to Amazon but not sure what to type. I like when you talk about rhythm instead of rules! Hope you are doing well! I like my kitchen clean morning and evening and tidy pick ups during the day. I have my Alexa remind me of evening tasks but not in the morning

I used to live in FNQ and pest control on the regular is essential. Non negotiable. As is vacuuming and not eating anywhere near your room. Carried this with me to Victoria. Still do the same hygiene habits here. Plus, don’t people know cockroaches can climb??? Just as much risk getting them on a raised bed.

Looks like you are sleeping on a giant duvet ?

Sarah, I discovered you from Minimal Mom ❤

I love your candor, and expressions of acceptance for others situations as well.

Sydney has loads more roaches than most cities in the world.

cleaned my nasty slow-draining sink. Thanks!

What I would be worried is the weight to pick it up to air it out. I am not allowed to pickup more than 10 pounds or 5 if repeating.

I am New here. I just subscribe. I am bouncing all over your channel watching some of your older videos. I just saw the interview you did with DAWN the minimal mom❣️ I have Autism, bedridden chronic pain and am a hoarder. Fighting and figuring out what is best for our family. Struggling with life is life for me.

Here in the USA, goodwill became a corporation, that occasionally helps out the community if they get 3 or 10x in return. It has become over priced. However, if you are blessed to find a good Thrift stores they are diamonds in the rough ❣️❣️

Forget the bed frames I'm putting my mattress on the floor

Please link the floor sleeping video. I’m very curious about this. Thank you so much!

Primary cleaning product is dish soap - same!! And the hand dusting! Omg thank you for normalizing these 😂. Weirdest thing I've found... we had lost track of middle son's favourite stuffy (a beany baby owl) and found it a week later in the drawer underneath the range. He went through a phase of loving hiding small things in random places.

Years of needing this content and finally learning about you today from Dawn @ mm. Subscribed.

I realized you can just put some blankets down and use that as a sleeping surface. Polyurethane fleece blankets work well. They are mold and moisture resistant.

So glad you are back The music is a little too loud compared to talking

Idk why people worry so much about bugs crawling on them like they cant when youre on a raised bed lol. Its dumb 😂

I just got one of these 😁 have chronic pain and get vertigo regularly. I am hoping this floor sleeping helps ❤
