I have 5 words I repeat to myself every morning - bed, bathroom, hoover (vacuum) kitchen, washing (laundry). A quick once over of these areas just makes me feel like my house is reset & we’re ready to start the day 👍🏻
Loved this. I got a iRobot vacuum that runs daily so my basic daily list is Dishes, Dinner, Laundry, Garbage. “Leave each room better than I found it” - is my motto so beds made, bathrooms; I clean something every time I go in to use it, I wipe the kitchen counters after each meal. I decide on dinner by 9 am so I have time to thaw any frozen ingredients, and I frequently do the veggies at the same time- leaving them ready in my electric steamer. I have health issues so my energy isn’t good at dinner and doing most of the work early helps streamline dinner hour. I run the dishwasher after dinner and unload every morning. That way the kitchen stays clean all day.
Definitely a clean hallway for me. I hate opening my front door to chaos. It gives me anxiety.....even if the rest of the house is clean. We are a large outdoorsy family with 3 dogs so every muddy boot gets dropped at the entrance. I have a big box that I drop the wellies into.
An everyday essential for me is a quick wipe of the toilets and sinks as well as all of the things you mentioned. I feel like I’m on top of things if these things are done, the earlier in the day the better. Thanks Sarah!
Yes to all of this!! 🙌🏻 I do much better in the mornings so I love getting it done early too ❤️ You and I are definitely kindred spirits, I wish it wasn't so far for a cuppa ☕️
Thanks for the vacuuming tip, as a fairly new pet owner-it's really thrown a curve in my cleaning routine. Would love any additional tips sprinkled in!
Nice, adding in the vacuum something everyday- that's good advice! I usually try to get the whole floor at once, which sometimes leads me to not doing it at all if I'm short on time... so I'm going to try this out! Loved your video, love your accent, keep doing what you do!
I make my bed everyday, swept up, wipe down the counter tops. I do my laundry twice a week. I vacuum one day room a day. It’s to exhausting and time consuming to vacuum my whole place in one day. I am so I glad I live in a small villa and not a large home like yours. It’s so much easy to keep clean and tidy. I keep my place reasonably clean I not obsessed with cleaning.
Daily vacuuming is a good idea. Just this past year, I started doing the dishes daily and that was a game changer for me mentally, esp being home with 3 kids all day (thanks to Covid). Thanks for your example, Sarah!
O my goodness! Yes the kitchen surfaces are totally magnets! In my house, I have a rule that nothing is allowed to live in the countertops. If my family sees one thing sitting there, they dump so much stuff along side it. I refuse to go to bed with anything sitting out.
For a "crazy busy" mom you look adorable 🥰 I do preety much the same. We have a murphy bed that is super heavy and hard to open and close but I still do it every single day, so I think there are no excuses for not doing it 😊
Thank you for these tips. I do roughly the same but, with 7 people at home, it's 2 loads of dishwasher every day and 2 washing machines, because here in the north of France it's much colder than in Australia !
Thank you Sarah for your encouraging video. I have been watching your videos for a couple of years now and I always feel so encouraged by you. I'm from the U.S. and have just recently, wanted to start eating a whole foods plant based diet. I've been eating that way for about 3 weeks now. Also, about 2 weeks ago I had a health scare with my heart that ended me up in the hospital. I still am waiting on results of what it could be but I had to have surgery that ended up being unsuccessful on what the doctor thought it was. Anyways, I just wanted to say that I really appreciate this video because I think breaking things up into smaller jobs is great and doing those main little jobs isn't so overwhelming. Maybe you could do a video on some of your main plant based meals like you did in the past. P.S. I run on Jesus and coffee too! Angela
Hi Angela, I'm so sorry to hear about your recent health challenges, I know how stressful that can be. I will definitely try to add some of our meals to some upcoming videos ❤️
I struggle with vacuuming just because it is so heavy. I am thinking of purchasing a Dyson but I am worried that it doesn't do a good job picking up all the crumbs.. Another one to add to 5 things to do daily for me isa quick toilet clean. You look great, by the way! Hugs from Belgium!
Yes toilet cleaning is definitely on my list too 🙈🤣 Honestly my dyson is one of the best purchases I ever made, mine is a V7 and its very light and does a great job picking everything up ❤️❤️
Hey from across the ditch 🤗 I like to follow a very simular routine to yours Sarah, keeps things flowing smoother and stops the anxiety creeping in 😉 💓 Love ya vids , keep em coming!
My laundry routine is for 2 people so I do laundry every 2 days because I only have 3 work unforms so I washed every second day I only do a hot white wash once a week it easy
hI Sarah, I am wondering if you feel you are less minimalist now than in your previous house? I know how we define minimalism is different for everyone but I notice now you have coffee tables, and photos up in frames etc.
I don't iron very much 🙈 I actually really love doing it, but I tend to just do a heap of the most needed items like school uniforms once a week. They are still here, the kids have been having a "camp" in the lounge so I pushed them back 🤣⛺️

Love this Jo ❤️
We always go to bed with a clean kitchen. I hate waking up to a stack of dirty dishes.
Same 🙋🏻♀️ I don't think my body would let me sleep if it wasn't done 🤣

Love all of these!! Such good advice ❤️
Have a wonderful week 🏵️
I won't go to bed without a clean kitchen ,if I wake to a clean kitchen it's a good day,
Great tips. I do all these. The biggest help is getting rid of anything you don’t use, need or want. Keeping my large home is a breeze now.
Definitely a clean hallway for me. I hate opening my front door to chaos. It gives me anxiety.....even if the rest of the house is clean. We are a large outdoorsy family with 3 dogs so every muddy boot gets dropped at the entrance. I have a big box that I drop the wellies into.
Oh I totally agree 🙌🏻 that feeling when you get home is so important ❤️
I have my daily 5- make the bed, dishes, trash, laundry, and pet care. If those get done we can function pretty well and the house looks okay.
Love it!

Melissa thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave such a sweet message ❤️

Pets definitely turn cleaning into a whole new ball game 🙈 Little and often is my current strategy 🤣

I love this ❤️ Its so much more manageable when you can stay on top of it ❤️
Love the cleaning motivation you give 🥰👍

Thank you Sarah! Making the bed first thing and clean and tidy kitchen are my priorities! And laundry of course 🤣. Warm wishes from England! 🥰🥰

@@SmallChanges 😄
Do you iron alot ???
Where have your armchairs gone ☺
Yes 🤔
I don't iron very much 🙈 I actually really love doing it, but I tend to just do a heap of the most needed items like school uniforms once a week.
They are still here, the kids have been having a "camp" in the lounge so I pushed them back 🤣⛺️
