Summary:
napkin box
plate for cleaning/cooking
microwave hole
transfer shoebox (for tools, makeup, cooking)
store like with like (modules)
use thin dish towels for mirrors
paper clip tape
mosquito repellant tips: light colors, clean body, avoid staying out uncovered at dusk/dawn (mosquitos hate wind), minimize getting heart rate up (exercise, spicy food, alcohol) outdoors, use peppermint oil (my most used oil)
vertical storage first (in kitchen, recycle area, bathroom)
perfect fold with only one paper!
----
How to fold with paper:
fold to the right 1/3 of the shirt
fold to the left 1/3 of the shirt
fold in sleeve sticking out
fold halfway up
fold in half twice
= perfect envelope
(Use paper as a guide at first. I eyeball now.)

My living room modules:
electronics/cords, mail, wrapping, cat, first aid, toolbox
----
Recycle area:
glass bin (separate donation place), curbside recycle bags, returns bin

Thanks for watching! - บันเทิง
I have loved all your tips but I have to say that the t-shirt folder is superfluous- I was taught how to fold in the exact same manner and taught my husband. We used brown paper at the store where I worked but at home it’s not necessary. It works great. Another wonderful video, thank you so much 💕
I love all the practical tips and helpful hacks that you have. I learned so much from you and feel that my place is so much more relaxing, efficient, and peaceful because of you. Thank you for all your hard work. you are my favorite you tuber
I've really learned so much from you over time. A lot of it from the times you're just "chatting" in the video.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh I can't even describe how much I love your videos! thank you for all the quality content! And, also I'm requesting a few what you eat in a day videos because well you're super fit :D
Melody, I just so appreciate your channel- and your blog! It's my weekly treat to watch your new video! Thank you for being so faithful to sharing!!
Plate vs bowl, who would have thought! Paper clip at end of tape, I usually ear tag end of tape, WASTING SOME OF TAPE. Will try this, and hopefully not waste as much.
I love your tips & enthusiasm, Melody😊
That Tshirt folder reminded me of Sheldon Cooper!!😂
I wish you would post more often!!
I love your videos...watch them a few times over when I'm needing motivation or reminders. Thank you so much!!
Great video. My house is pretty organized but my attic is a mess!!! I lay in bed and think about all the junk up there and feel so overwhelmed I don't know where to start? Can you do a video on how to tackle a large overwhelming organization project please. Thanks have a great week!! Stephanie

Hi there
I was exactly like that last week I had 2 rooms like that the rest of the house was spot on so this is what I did
I did 20 minutes a day in one corner
Second day I did 20 minutes
In second corner
I did this for a 5 days bit by bit it gave me time too think and I was excited and looking forward to the mini project were I wasn't getting overwhelmed because I new I was here only for 20 minutes
The second room I did was call my friends I told them I will make you tea and a lovely cake and some chit chat gossip if u come and help me clean my room
They were all up for it there were 5 of us it took us 2 to 3 hours to do and the rest of the time we enjoyed our tea and gossip
Hope u can get something out of this
Good day 😊
Depends on what you have to organise but I really like the KonMari method. A 4hr audio version of Marie Kondo's book is here on TH-cam. Very inspiring/motivating
couple of tips from The Minimalists. First, "the best way to organize your stuff is to get rid of it" ;) Secondly, you can try something called the minimalist game, for 30 days. Day one get rid of one thing, day two get rid of two things, etc.... so that on the 30th day you get rid of 30 things. Lastly something I did when starting out was to challenge myself to have my curbside garbage can full every time it was picked up and to donate a box full of stuff a week to goodwill. I also agree with the person who recommended Kon Mari. Have fun!!
I had the same thing, kept saying to my husband to help me in the end I woke up and just went up there and got rid of the stuff. I think it was hard letting go of my daughters baby bits. Took a little while to go through, but once it's done it's done
How lucky you are to have a cat that comes to help you fold the shirts up :)
Places 2 Go Travel I’m gonna watch this now.
Your such a amazing person, I watch all your videos and your tips and tricks are amazing. Keep up the great work!
Loved the plate tip. Thanks Melody.
I use the napkins in my car, my kids already know they are either in the glove box compartment or passenger side visor. Whenever anyone sneezes or needs a napkin for whatever reason, we all know where to go. I know some people keep a roll of paper towel in the car but is much better to use what you already have.

I don't like to use the napkins because, most of time, it's the same person who is handling the money that grabs the napkins with their bare hand. I consider those napkins contaminated.
Your voice and videos are very soothing. Love your channel. Thank you and keep it up ❤️
I'm totally obsessed with your video!!!
Your life hacks are really simple but so efficient!
Otherwise, I'm trying to improve my English and it's really useful for me hearing you talk because your English is really clear!
Please come just 3 days to my house, I need you! :)
Cheers from Italy!!!
attic don't think about organizing. first purge just the broken items and trash. Then ask yourself how you want to use the attic AFTER you are done. I am not talking about "organizers". I mean uses and zones. That way you can visualize using the room, even if it is still for storage and retrieval. Konmari discusses this a bit. Then Konmari's theory may help get to what you want to KEEP. I recommend "Cleaning from the inside out" a book and video that goes into detail about the pre organization visualizing process.
I use most of your tips, except one: I always use a garbage bowl when cooking. (We live in a rural area & compost). No longer....why haven't I thought of using a plate before? We can always learn from one another. Thank you.
I use a "Garbage Bowl" when cooking too... because it contains everything... if I used a plate I would have stuff everywhere! But I do like the plate ideas for the things mentioned.
Melody, I love your ideas, The plate is a great idea. Tfs.
Great tips and your table is GORGEOUS
I learned the hole in the center when microwaving this year, and it's one of my favorites!
I really love your videos. So enjoyable. One of the very few I would actually collect.
for years I have used cloth napkins, I have bought them @ thrift stores, or make my own, use kitchen towels for cleaning , yes I use vinegar too.thank you
I've always been terrible at folding shirts, until now
Very helpful!
Why does anyone give a thumbs down? These are great life hacks.
Another great video! Love all your hacks 💗💗!
congrats on almost 33,000 subscribers!
Thanks, Keke! Love your comments :)
Mosquito in a past life!! LOl LOL I have the same plate but in an off-white. They are very resilient except if they land on tile floor at just the right angle and velocity - then they shatter into a powder that can cover an amazingly large area. Love the microwave hole in the food tip. Duh, why didn't I think of that. Thanks
I used to use that blue board but found a cheap dollar store clip board works just as well. Paper is a bit too flimsy. I love "filing" all my husbands t-shirts. Makes finding a particular shirt so easy.
Buying plastic bins to put in drawers that serve the same purpose is not minimalism, it's organization.
What color and type of paint did you use on the tv stand? It's so pretty!!!
Yes, love the life hack videos!
that hole in the center of your plate when microwaving - so smart! :)
Hi, I was wondering if you could do a video on a minimalist toolbox.
The blade is reusable though. I load a new tape roll on the dispenser.
It was a super tips. Thanks.
you're amazing, thank you.
Wow, this was a great way to fall asleep ...
"Maybe I was a mosquito in a past life" LOL - great video, awesome tips! :)
Love your videos; here do you find the blue folding board?
I use a magazine to fold t-shirts as it is easier to feel the edges.
Great tips
Thanks !
I am new to your videos and have really enjoyed the ones I have watched so far. I have a question about elevating things. Is it just for the aesthetic look because it would seem as if you just have one more thing to have it sitting on and still have to clean around it (example-under the sink or above stove). I like the idea but just trying to figure out the reason. Thanks!
yas! I was looking for a way to get rid of that ugly pile of napkins on my table
Do you think the peppermint oil would work for fleas?
I think konmari's folding method is more practical.
Me too
I am trying to organise my makeup amongst other things in one container and cant seem to do so. Any tips for getting rid of stuff ie make up that is by its sell by date. ??
You are so smart!
THANK YOU ;)
I use your paper clip trick!
Yes, me too!
Excellent tips!

Love u Melody!
Do you prefer the Target towels for mirrors or the microfiber ones from Amazon that you mentioned in a previous video? Also, can you link me to the dish towels from Target?
+1Fom That`s great if you actually have a newspaper, but now a days, most people read the news online. The only people I know who receive the news in paper format, are my grandparents. I`d prefer to have a towel that I can use over and over again.
"Maybe I was a mosquito in a past life." LOL! I say stuff like that. We would get along swimmingly. haha. Thank you for these tips. Great video.
Do you know if the microfiber towels are available online? I'm looking at the website, and I can't tell if any of them are the ones you have ... if you have a link to what you are using that would be great! Thanks :-)
Don't you get lines all over your t shirts when you fold them?
Those orange peels? Make marmalade; it's easy!
Cool Linux Shirt
I bought a clear tape with a blade and put a new roll of tape on when I ran out.
What product is the "puff pack" that you refer to? Thanks!
PUFF tissues that come in a pack of 3. They are in plastic not in a box like Kleenex.
Melody could you do more on the recipes and food you eat. Are you Vegan?
Thanks, greta info. I like both coffee and tea. Do better with just a couple cups of tea.
are there people out there that don't know that the tape dispensers with the blade are reusable?!
I use a clip board for folding.
you can refill most of the tape blades with new rolls of tape.
Love it🤔😀😁
Everytime I watch your Videos, you remind me on Lia from Lias Lab.
Too many folds for the T-shirt. And IMHO way too much time on your hands if you're folding clothes using a piece of plastic. (Although I understand if you have OCD issues.)
Cool Linux Shirt! :) Are you a linux user?
I'm shocked about that blue thing to fold clothes and even the paper... I have done that forever without using any tool...
Mami Santana me too. I can fold my t shirts nicer, neater and faster without any tools. Who has time for that (using paper and blue folder)
Where are you from?
Mosquito in a past life... lol
you cat looks just like my tom cat :)

The plate tip worked much better, thanks!

Packaging tape dispensers are reusable!

One litre of water weighs one kilogram water is heavy

Can you do a video on the hygiene products that you use. :-)
plate addition: if u use it for biological food waste you could afterwards use it as plate for eating :P

Hey. Your a minimalist and you bought and now store a t-shirt folder ? Shame on you !!! Just teasing. . .left a like . Thanks 😋
:)
Really?
why you label so many of your video life changing? it's not that dramatic, just little tips here and there. label it accordingly
Susana Ip maybe she labelled them life changing because they are life changing in long run......I mean think of it
- you are making less clutter
- minimising on things
- saving more
- spending less time on cleaning so have more time for other things......etc.
Maybe it was life changing for her. You'll live longer is you're less salty babe!
T-shirt folder? really ? that's not for a minimalist ! thats for hoarder or a garbage collector...
