What do you do if you have extreme ADHD- reread paragraphs on and on, rewind movies all the time, can't remember anything and the last thing you have is focus?
I've never been diagnosed but I've had pretty bad problems with focusing, couldn't even listen to an interesting conversation for more than 30 seconds straight. Meditating daily has helped me tremendously. It's super stressful at first but give it a shot. Also make sure you turn off all notifications on your phone. That stuff cripples our willpower and attention spans. If it's urgent, people will call.
Seems like such a small thing to write 5 goals... But I never underestimate the advice you give. On my way to living a simpler and happier life - Thanks Melody :)
Hi Melody, I love all your minimalist videos but I think this topics you are currently talking about are very interesting and practical & I would love you to go into more detail. Much 💕 💗
I love your channel so much! Thanks for your inspirational yet practical advice - it has truly helped me on my journey to living more intentionally. You are one of the few minimalists I have found whose advice translates into the world of families. Thank you!
Excellent advice! I’ve watched it 3 times already and been making notes and finding habits to focus on. Thanks for sharing your thought process. It’s very succinct and practical 👏🏻
Melody, I would love to see a bed time simple routine. I am unsure how to properly fit the ear plugs in. I've been working on just reading instead of phone use. I'm reading a lot on hygge, but I think you already do a lot of that with your cosy couch corner and your lighting. Anyway, hope to see something about that soon. I always find your videos helpful and have been using your vacuum and push top cleaning dispensers all the time.
LOVE your videos! Plz keep them coming! And your home is so peaceful, it can be felt through screen. I am working on mine, and so far love in it. People judge me but I dont care a bit!
I like all the tips but the timer one is awesome! If you feel the need to clean another area, you can assure yourself you’ll soon be done with your current project!
Hi Melody - love your work - I would love to know more about your wardrobe minimalism - how you cope with only a small amount of clothes - and what I would love to know is how you transition your clothes from summer to winter :)
I've achieved my dream of a zero email inbox. Also 4 out of 6 MBTI's say I'm an INTJ but I got INFJ on one. Thanks for reminding me of that test. Now I'm obsessed with hacking my personality type...
Thank you for the beautiful gifts of efficient living. You've given me endless food for thought. Your channel is *such* a wonderful investment of my time. Again, thank you.
I really want to change my life. Now I am lazy, with unhealthy eating habits, sad, depressed, feeling alone, negative...and so on. Deem it is do bad. But I want to be happy!
Rima Kin ~ start with a list of things you want to change. You just listed a few. This will allow YOU see it daily. Goodluck. Start a little each day. You CAN do it.
I love your ideas about organization and efficency but when you talk about personal growth and so, this view of life in such tight categories gives me anxiety
manulivyvita ❤️Manulivyvita, you feel anxiety because what she’s saying is ‘hitting home’, and deep down, you know she’s right. Do you think that could be it?
4977abc thank you for your suggestion! I guess it could be but, I dont want to be offensive, I don’t usually find what she says about psychology/human nature matters particularly enlightening. What gives me anxiety is how she refers to this arguments using such broad generalization, it feels like text book material. It feels like she is teaching me how to organize my kitchen so I don’t have to lift two pots at the same time anymore. Maybe that’s it! I maybe sometimes make dull generalizations myself and that’s what “hits home”.
yesenia zleisy ~careful what you ask for. Last thing we need on this channel is Paleo vs Autoimmune paleo vs Vegan paleo vs Vegans vs Vegetarians vs Keto triggered into debating here. :) :)
One of the best habits is watching your videos! 😅

This has to be one of my favorite videos. You have changed my life! Thank you Melody!
Another great video! I am always amazed at how wise you are at such a young age.
Your minimalistic look of your home makes me feel so calm. Love it! And love your vids!
"Be the change you want to see in the world." That's my favourite quote! :)

i think it's time to replace the word 'goals', i'm not sure with what, maybe something less wishywashy/lofty like 'tasks'
You mentioned positive and wise people then you mentioned books....
can you name your top few book choices.
Thanks

Such a wise woman! You always inspire and have taught me a lot (even though you're half my age 😊). I appreciate you❗

My bedroom and kitchen . This was a good video!
Hi melody! I have been watching your videos for awhile! I like what you have done with your decor recently!!
Thanks for a great video as always. Just wanted to say your hair looks lovely shorter it really suits you :)
I've achieved my dream of a zero email inbox. Also 4 out of 6 MBTI's say I'm an INTJ but I got INFJ on one. Thanks for reminding me of that test. Now I'm obsessed with hacking my personality type...
I will be reviewing this video every time I need a pep talk. Excellent video!

Love your videos! Would love for you to address your hair cut and also your meal plans.
Wow you go girl! This content is stellar
Love the wooden slate as a laptop desk in the bed!
Great video! I really like the bit about not letting minimalism get in the way of your goals. Btw is that your beaker of alcohol?
It's water :) Going to have a video on organizing with only glass soon.
Lol. Cute comment :) She mentioned drinking water when her camera showed this cute glass bottle. I assume it's for nightstand water??
I love those pants you’re wearing in the b-roll while you’re vacuuming. Where are those from? Great video!
I really want to change my life.
Now I am lazy, with unhealthy eating habits, sad, depressed, feeling alone, negative...and so on. Deem it is do bad.

beautiful tray at 7:20 where did you buy it?
you should be a middle school teacher.... seriously . This kind of organization is superb!
I am a middle school teacher and I love it too! :)
should let your students listen to this video, could help them alot in life to hear it
MELODY: Eliminate distractions from your environment to achieve your goals. ME: Right! Sell my children!! MELODY: That's not what I meant, damn it!
Haha I accidentally put an overlay of Pat where I said that and changed it. :)
Childfree rules, #zeroregrets
More power to ya, girl!!! (Although with five kids, I clearly didn't get the childfree memo!) :-)
knittingdoula haha perhaps the kids can fall high on the personal priorities just maybe :-)

I'm so curious where you live: the climate must always be very warm as you wear sun dresses and slips all the time.
hawaii ....watch her videos and listen
She lives in Tennessee but is originally from Hawaii.
she recently moved to California
Veggie Soup that's what I thought...i live here in Valid
and remember on a video she shared she wanted to move
Thank you melody for your awesome tips. :) very helpful. Question: would you ever go over a meal routine ? Or a what you eat in a day ?
yesenia zleisy ~careful what you ask for. Last thing we need on this channel is Paleo vs Autoimmune paleo vs Vegan paleo vs Vegans vs Vegetarians vs Keto triggered into debating here. :) :)
While I liked what you said, some the footage included seem super random and not related to the subject of the vid.
What books have been the most influential to you?
Hi, Pat :)
Do you time sex also? I can't imagine the insanity of your life or mind. How do you keep a boyfriend or husband? Does he love this?
I served in the US AF
Are you married?
You never heard of Bitcoin?
