Do you even understand how quickly I clicked the video. This is so healing and uplifting even as you describe challenge. You genuinely inspire, not only art wise, but also in mindset, approach and keeping a calm but efficient rhythm. Love, just love.
so well said! ❤️🙏
Maybe when you get an idea and no time you could put the idea on a scrap of paper and put it into a jar, then when you have no idea pull a piece of paper of out jar and GO!?
I'm always so impressed at how organised, and self improving you are! It inspires me to take a look at my own routines and see where I can improve too. Thank you as always x
Dr. Oto Kano so true!
I just want to say that in addition to your art being wonderful and this content being helpful, your video editing and framing skills are like... DANG. SO GOOD. I always want to live in your home, it looks so so so beautiful!!
Ikr? I love how she edits and frames her videos! It's so satisfying to watch !
I’ve been unemployed for a long while and it’s making me feel really unmotivated in terms of my art but I think giving this a try would help me a lot! Thank you 💖
I liked what you said about having anxiety about going outside the longer you put it off. I am that way too... Good video as always. :)
I adore those moments in your editing where you keep talking and at the same time Minnie is listening and finishing the thought. Love it. Fantastic editing. And yes going to do some plans and follow up on my routines as I genuinely got inspired. Love and hugs!
Beautiful. Love how the cat sits in your lap while working. I’m sure this lowers each of your heart rates.❤️❤️❤️
your voice is so relaxing, you and your art are absolutely gorgeous and I just overall love you and your art. you have helped me through rough times, procrastination, and getting stuff done.
My for the past 20yrs... my working artist (graphics-marketing- consulting-design & fine art) daughter works from home........has a regimentated scheduale & uses the cell,laptop & desktop & drawing board! AM is work.she LEAVES home for hour lunch either yoga class, work out, coffee, meet up lunch w/ friend, etc.Comes back for afternoon, makes all her client appts, run to printer, etc. in the PM part of day...she stil is flexible regarding client appts. She is also working on her PhD. ~
Don't forget it's YOUR OFFICE....treat it as such..you just happen to be the Boss also! Good Luck!!
It is SO nice to see a youtuber caring about adding transcriptions to their videos, thanks so much, #accessibilityInMind
Shoutout To You For Taking The Step To Begin A Routine
Here's To Sticking To It And Also Forgiving Yourself If Things Change!
This is my first time watching your video. Your soothing voice and organize video format makes me stay 🥰 I like your voice..it's calming.
I'm about to "celebrate" 10 years since I started working for myself full time, and the start of this year has been quite similar to yours; Trying to set better routines, trying to go for a blinking walk before the sun goes down! Tonight, I'm going to try and set a more specific schedule for tomorrow as a start of respecting work, creative work and home time by dividing them more clearly. Here's to putting real clothes on and getting some vitamin D every day!
To me You are the most precious gem on TH-cam. I love your voice, your smile and your art! ❤️I wish you could see yourself through the eyes of all of your Minnie-fans and get to experience how much joy you bring by just being you:)
Thanks so much for sharing your anxieties about going outside. I have a similar issue - sometimes can be weeks before I leave the house. I know I should but somehow I talk myself out of it - weather’s too cold or I can do without bread for another week 😂. You’ve inspired me to try. 🙏🙂
I love your approach to how you scheduled your non-work time in the morning. I typically work later in the day so I have a lot of time (4ish hours) in the morning to myself. When I first started my job, I had a mourning schedule like the one you tried, but I've gotten away from it. You've inspired me to get back to that!
Preparing what to wear in advance is soooo relaxing. I've done this for years now and it's nice to be able to just grab that little pile in the morning. 😊
You have an energy that is really unique. Whenever I see your videos, your style and your personality, even the "volume" of your voice are so unique that I find myself feeling honored to spend time with you on this platform. In a society where we follow the trends trying to be one of the cool kids, I appreciate your honesty and insividuality. Thank you.
Let me just say- the way you edit your videos is flawless!! It’s very professional and welcoming at the same time ❤️
I am impressed how you managed all this while filming all along ! As a new youtuber I have many ideas of videos but this filming part is a huuuuge source of anxiety ! I really loved this video, very high quality, a real exemple for me, thank you !!!!
I need this video right about now.
Wow! I can't believe I only discovered your channel now!
your videos are very informative and a great help:) I am trying to do art full time as well and your videos are awesome.
Love your personality!
I love seeing you experiment with figuring out your ideal day! I have been trying different productivity methods/systems. I found a video called the block schedule system by Jordan Page here on TH-cam. It is where you schedule tasks into different blocks of time like 2- 3 hours but a block could be more hours according to your schedule. I will probably try this method. My goals are also walking more and spending more time in nature. Like your idea of no tech in morning, for example no tech till 10 or 11
I honestly love the chilled vibe of your videos, great stuff.
As an insomniac, it’s really difficult for me to get out of bed early in the morning on the days when I don’t have school, but that would be really useful. I wish I could try that, but I sleep really horribly during the week, feeling really anxious because of the alarm. But that’s something I plan on working on with my therapist.
And your video is really motivating ! Plus it has such a calm vibe about it, like always. Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us ! Wish you an amazing week 💚
Gosh I soo feel you. the anxiety bit and pushing oneself to go outside even for a walk rn. Phew . Godspeed sis. Love your content 🙏✨✊
Omg the organization. The list. The plans. Your making this Virgo very happy lol
I find your videos so soothing to watch :)
watching these kinds of videos gives me a sense of productivity and structure while i'm still procrastinating my day away. might have to implement a few of your tips into my worklife. lovely video as always!
So glad I found your channel!! You are so refreshing and I love your perspective of work/life balance. Definitely picking up tips. Thank you!
You have such a peaceful, organized and motivating lifestyle. I want to be like you in my next life. lol I doubt I'll make much change in what's left of this one.
But thank you for sharing who you are!
It always puts a smile on my face when you post. I wish I could set up a schedule like this but toddlers throw a huge wrench into that, so I work from when she's sleeping into the AM.
I was literally just searching through your videos for a new one to watch and here you are!!! Yayy💐💐💐
Love YOU, love this. It is so helpful, extremely so. I will never be this good at it, but soon as I get out from under my January gnarly downer cloud funk, I'm going to do my best. You've given inspiration and a template, AND a practical example. Very generous of you, thanks!!! It might even shorten my Jan/funk. It's getting old...you rock. Thanks so much Min.
Thank you this video really inspired me. This year I to want to be more organized with my schedule. I write everything I want to get done from reading for fun, research, chores, filming and editing TH-cam videos to my art after I get home from work and having a schedule really helps so far I have gotten more done then when I was just running about without a plan.
💗💕💕💕💝 Have a wonderful, blessed and beautiful January
I love this! It’s something I definitely want to try too. I think being realistic about how long each task takes is really important but I love the way that you can plan in (guilt free!) the breaks -and prioritise time for creativity as well. Editing always takes me sooo long too! 😊
Today was my first day of class so this came at the right time! Helps me start this semester right with some motivation to get organized! Thanks! 🙂
Thank you for this! Your videos are always so calming and motivating at the same time!
i love it when you do videos like these! they inspire me so much and really satisfy the organiser in me!
You have no idea how I love that you post on Sunday's evenings! I always have a bit of anxiety for the upcoming week and you're so calming and inspiring :3 Also, I adore the burgundy cardigan you had and Imma get a similar one for myself :D
7:52 - I thought I was the only one who sat down on my desk with a blanky on my legs but now I see more people do it 😂
On another note, I'm so happy every time one of your videos comes up, it's always so inspiring and relaxing to watch them!
Hope you exercised but even if you didn’t, good on ya for doing everything you set out to accomplish! What an amazing feeling!!!
Everytime I watch one of your videos, I always get motivated to do something. Thank you
This was really helpful and encouraging; exactly what I needed to get my year off to a better start.
Thanks so much for this video. Very relateable and helpful 😊👍🏻
This reminds me of the good times of working from home and finding a routine that really suits yourself. I am stuck in an office job for a little over a year now and I hate the typical 9-5 arrangement you have to obey by. Mostly because I still work in an creative field and I feel like creativity is nothing you can put a time stamp on ...
Hey Minnie!! The video is amazing! This type of video is my favourite kind from you! Thank you for being such a inspiration!! Your videos always make me feel creative,relaxed and ready to make art!! I also love your editing style
Much love Evie
Edit: I recommend Chloe Tings workout videos as they are really short! Or Mad Fits videos as well but they are a bit longer!!
Try working out first thing in the morning.....thanx for the motivation.
Love your videos, Minnie! They are perfect for de stressing and for a relaxing day! 💜
Happy New year gorgeous girl! Secretary to Minnie Small = Thierry ofcourse! This was hugely exciting you did soooooo well, routine is key I've had a good start too 😘🐾
i appreciate your honesty in every video. thank you 💕
Minnie, I am also starting a new schedule with hopes of using simpler, stress free ways to be more productive. I am a mom of four children, ages 10 months. 2 years, 3 years, and 5 years. My husband went back to school for the spring semester today and works full time in the afternoons until 11pm. It was lovely giving my new schedule a trial today while listening to you start yours 💕
I’m always so amazing by your discipline in yourself and perseverance. If I was in charge of my entire routine and didn’t have outside forces to anchor me to certain times I would 100% get distracted staring at a wall for 2 hours without realizing
i love your voice! it's so calming :)
This takes me back to my college/ university days where I would plan every minute. Omg!
There are so many pros and cons to this detailed hourly approach. I hope there’s a follow up on this - if you find it useful throughout the week or mainly on admin days.
Thanks for sharing your process.
I love how inspiring how relaxing your videos are
Yeah, another upload! Thanks fo s sharing!
Really inspired by this! Thank you 🙏
Really enjoyed this video and idea!
Loved this video! It’s so interesting to see other artist’s work flows. 😊
Wow I love this video. This is what I'm going through right now with setting up my ideal schedule. The one thing that gets in my way of productivity is food. I don't want to eat out but I get annoyed that I need to make time to make breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I guess I need to meal plan but cooking has become such a drag. I used to like it and now I just do it because I need to eat
I love your videos. Thank you for sharing your life and talent. (And you remind me of a former coworker who writes really neat and tiny.) :D
I recommend checking out Zuzka Light for short workouts. She does 15 minute HIIT.
Wow she writes out her own subtitles for her videos?!? Legend
This really motivated and helped me understand the importance of a schedule and to keep in detail your every little move you want to achieve . Can you update us on how your schedule/routine is going? I’m still new on this being an adult and setting my own schedule and goals and this video has helped me a lot, thank you.
11:44 I have that exact same glass spray bottle! I use it to mist my plants
Try the popsugar fitness channel, they have a lot of 10 minute workouts perfect for squeezing into your day
You are an inspiration!
loved it!
I literally tried creating a routine for myself like two weeks ago. I planned out my time in google calendar and honestly, get used to often changing your schedule at the begining. It takes time to built a habit of sticking with a routine, so allow yourself to be a little flexible and don't be afraid to change something if it turns out it doesn't work for you as well as you had hoped. I'm still testing mine, I think this 'trial run' will last another two weeks at least. But good luck!
@Maroxa’s Way I haven't managed to establish one for over 20 years now, so maybe they got their numbers wrong ;P
Usually I don’t like sophisticated English accents, but you’re the only exception
ugh just so refreshing
Good job! If only my life was as organised! I feel it is way too unpredictable (at the moment, anyways)... 😭
I love your video editing btw.
Hey hey! Looks whose being productive!
Love ur work x
Fantastic go! I’m just working on task listing for the next day.
I literally attempted my ideal day yesterday then you upload this today!
Good job! I have a tough time scheduling in my exercise time because I despise it so much. I'm not a morning person so the thought of a workout then is agony. I seem to run out of time as the day progresses but I'm aiming for a daily a 5 pm bike ride. We'll see... sigh.
This is literally me!
@@minniesmall LOL! The struggle is real.
tis accually stresses me out a bit, we are all so different !
I love your editing and content! I just started uploading art stuff to my own channel (which I had since 2011😰) and find your videos really inspiring🔥
I work from home as well and started doing Sydney Cummings work outs every day to get that activity in. Subscribe to her on You Tube. She has a workout video daily, and a lovely stretch video on Sunday. It's a great workout!!! Love your video blogs and art!!!
Love your videos soo much!
Love your videos! :)
Maybe try splitting your workouts into smaller chunks? I know if I think about how long my workout takes, I never want to do it, but if I break it up throughout the day, I find it easier to get it all done.
Hey there! Always super excited to see new videos from you 🥰 I wanted to ask, do you still work with any apple products? And if so, are you able to move between your apple products and windows desktop effectively for projects, or do you have issues with compatibility? I hope for more videos from you soon! You're my fave 🥰💖
Finally 😍
🤗
Hey Minnie, I was just wondering how you added labels to the colours on your Google calendar? I love your videos and you inspire me endlessly, have a good day x
This is so nice. I am about to start my Business on the side and i have 2 entire Days each week for that. So it is even more important to make the best out of every minute. Your structured plan gave me an idea on how to achieve this. And as an idea for workouts i recently startet Lucy Wyndham-Read´s workouts she has a lot of really short but great routines, that you can combine as you like and so define the length of your workout.
Do you ever end up making prints from a sketch in your sketchbook?
That was really inspiring. How long was that work day all in all?
Hi Minnie. Had to play back your video. Having a shower AFTER breakfast??? Please don't do it hun as it increases the risk of heart attack/ stroke. God Keep you safe Amen. Peace Love and Light from England.
How did you manage to squeeze all that in in one day?
I would not be able to keep this pace.
What kinds of books do you read?
How do someone get 1000 subscribers because there is definitely something I am doing wrong
Maybe you felt like you had less time because you had the majority of your day blocked out before the day even started? Maybe before you allowed yourself the freedom to get up whenever you wanted to, so with that you felt like you had more time. Just a guess
