    I just paused this video to clean out my purse. Now I'm going to go clean out my junk drawer. Be right back. 😁💖

      The biggest "minimalist" thing I did for my wallet was to a) go cash free and b) get loyalty cards integrated into my regular credit/debit cards, or c) get an app instead of a loyalty card. So now all I have is 2 cards in my wallet! There is no way I would ever remember to clean my purse out regularly...

    • @ABeautifulHorizonTV
      @ABeautifulHorizonTV 6 лет назад +10

      I started saying "no" when the gas pump asks if I want a receipt. That helps too!! 💖

    • @ABeautifulHorizonTV

      A loyalty card app is an awesome idea!

      @eizhowa 6 лет назад +3

      +A Beautiful Horizon So true about receipts. Whenever I clean out my purse, that is the main reason for any clutter :S
      I have noticed that more and more loyalty apps in my country are giving you electronic reciepts instead, and I really hope it will catch on!

      Pick Up Limes I got a lot of towels, blankets, old fashioned sheets, quilts after my grandma death and animal shelter was more than happy to take it.
      Another place where I donated part of sheets and blankets which was in better shape was hospice.

    I'm not a minimalist and is not likely to ever be one, however I found this video really inspirational. I've actually been doing a little bit of these in the past two weeks. Spent several long nights just decluttering my documents (I've actually been hoarding documents, receipts, etc for well over a decade and it's just silly really), and I've also done a lot of clean-up on my computer, and now I feel inspired to want to tackle the rest. I just started a new position at my job which has given me more time and energy, and I would really love to actually do some decluttering, so thank you for this guide.

    A Part of decluttering that I’ve added before the year ends, is to declutter social media (Facebook, Instagram, youtube, Pinterest). Unfollowing/unfriending the people, companies or groups that no longer bring joy to my life. Opening my social media now is more enjoyable and no more pressure or burdens added to my journey of clearing my life/mind.
    Thanks for sharing. Your videos bring me joy and a sense of calmness. ♥️

    We just evacuated Puerto Rico and were able to bring very little with us (we were pretty minimalist down there anyway) I am so excited to begin a new life in a new city with a minimalist plan! Moving is so much less scary (and cheaper) when you are not bogged down with things, and you are not interested in buying many things for the new place! Thank you so much for your videos, you are such an inspiration!!

  • @MauniMayumi
    @MauniMayumi 6 лет назад +24

    I desperately need to do this but it fills me with anxiety.
    I live in Japan. I don't have access to clothing in my size and my weight fluctuates frequently. I'm of lower income and I just don't have the money to replace things at short notice.
    The waste makes me feel incredibly guilty as well. Thrift stores aren't a thing. Japan has a massive disposable mentality...
    I have mental illness (it's stable atm though) which I don't think really helps the situation but because of my bipolar I have a LOT of what if items because my hobbies are so diverse :/ I've got to do this...

    • @jessicaspeckman7928
      @jessicaspeckman7928 4 года назад +9

      Something you have to keep in mind when watching decluttering or minimalism videos is that it's based around simplicity to make you happier and de stressed, not just to get rid of stuff. If you need the things you have, then consider organizing each category (not even with fancy containers just reorganizing) and cleaning them instead. I don't live in Japan but I am a college student in the US so I understand at least your situation with not having the income to replace clothing or furniture sort of thing.

    Theses aren’t tips that will help us only to following minimalism. They are actually tips to organize our whole life! Thank you so much Sadia for such awesome tips!

    Hello Sadia,
    Thank you for creating such a wonderful guide to cleaning day by day towards minimalism. Usually, I’m really stubborn with lifestyle advice because of cliché statements in the self help community, but this plan is very well organized. Also, I am someone that gets overwhelmed with cleaning and this guide truly helped compartmentalize my life. I recommend it to anyone. Thankyou Sadia

    I am nearly 16 and I am sick and tired of my cluttered room, mind, and life in general. School became my primary focus and I lost control of everything else. I am done with this lifestyle. I am going to do this. I am really hoping to be much happier when I head into my last two years of high school​ and start my career. I nearly cried when I realized how much junk I really have. Thank you for this video - it has motivated me to change my life for the better, both mentally, environmentally and physically.

    Love this video! I'd recommend things like old towels and sheets could be donated to animal shelters to give the puppies/kittens a nice snuggle blanket!

    I've just started my minimalist journey. I've got a chronic illness which was my main reason for wanting to make a change. I've watched many RUclips videos but the advice was always information overload. I was finding it very hard to declutter all these things at once because of the pain I struggle with. I love how informative and helpful your advice is breaking it down in to categories will help me so much! Thanks you're very easy to understand and don't overload with too much information.

    This was a very helpful and nice video. I'll be sure to use some of your tips! I just didn't like how you spoke about dictionaries. What is wrong with still using one? I found it condescending to say "it's now called google". Not everyone loves to exchange books for digital media. And PS, before anyone hates, I'm 20. Not all our generation lives in the digital world.

    • @PickUpLimes
      @PickUpLimes  6 лет назад +23

      My sincerest apologies, xSilentHope, as this was meant to come across more as a joke more than anything. The tips I offer in any of the PUL videos are just meant to offer some suggestions, but as you may know: I always encourage people to do what feels best to them. If an item makes you happy, then by all means keep it - there is nothing wrong with it in the least. I hope you can understand and sending much love ❤

    • @raraavis7782
      @raraavis7782 6 лет назад +12

      xSilentHope I'm sure it wasn't meant that way. Keep in mind: if a youtuber/public person always censors what they say so no-one could possible ever be offended by it, things get pretty...unspontaneous and tense. We all want to listen to people who are genuine and open...but that also means we might get confronted with something that rubs us the wrong way every now and then. But as long as there was no bad intent...why not shrug and respond: "I LOVE my dictionary!'" ☺
      Or think about it that way: Who is the person you're hurting most by being offended? YOU! Same with anger...or most negative emotions. Yes, they are completely natural and sometimes useful to mobilise the strength to defend yourself...but mostly they are just a waste of time and energy. It took me a long, long time to learn that...to calmly (and humorouly) make my point if I disagree, without letting it get to me emotionally...but it makes for a much happier life.

      xSilentHope so so so true what u said.. there’s no harm in having one or two dictionaries that too from our childhood..

    • @sugarbomb187
      @sugarbomb187 6 лет назад +10

      I study literature & so I use dictionnaries on a regular basis but I understand Sadia's point. So many people keep dictionnaries without using them just for the sake of it. In the line of a minimalist approach, keeping dictionnaries without using them is pointless.

  • @lemonielala3080
    @lemonielala3080 3 года назад

    These kinds of videos make me both inspired and deeply depressed.
    I have anxiety and chronic depression (bipolar) and not having clutter or mess around me helps keeping me relaxed and balanced. So I'd really like to live minimalist and have purged large parts of my belongings.❤️
    However. I have a husband and three kids under 12yo and none of them are particularly interested in minimalism or even tidying..... So even though I now have very few thibgs that are mine there is stuff EVERYWHERE. The girls wast all the craft stuff in existance and barbies+accessories galore, my husband has instruments and random papers on every surface and my son has more lego than all of Denmark and an impressive collection of cups and glasses on his desk. And the clothes, oh the amount of clothes...!! I feel like I run after everyone else picking up their sh*t to have a house that is even almost tidy enough not to raise my pulse. It just seems hopeless and like I'm never going to have a home I love. 😔 If I could choose I would have a bright and uncluttered home like you. Maybe some day. For now though, I let your videos calm me. 😉❤️❤️

    I never knew I was starting to be a minimalist until I went through this vid. Just last week when I opened my pouch and saw some unnecessary receiptssssss, out of nowhere I threw them all away (which I don’t do so often) and also last week, I had cut down photos on my phone from 9200 to 3000. Ghaaad I am loving this. To a more organized and peaceful life, self. Hahaha. Thanks for this vid ❤️ Great one

      @CC CC 🏅 ⭐️ 🙌🏼 Congrats to you. I'm assuming you had a small space, and/or not a lot of possessions to start with. Doing it all in one day isn't possible for most households with adults beyond their 20's-30's (more life experience very often also equals more furniture and household items, and a larger home. )

    Hi this is Issy from OZ. Recently I have started decluttering becoming quite over enthusiastic. I have just watched your 30 days to minimalism and it is the answer to my prayers of keeping me organised and not make even more mess than I have just created in my enthusiasm. Thank you.

    I want to thank you so much for this great video and that totally possible looking declutteration project, I really needed that right now. I'm currently in my last year of school, I'm going to turn 18 by the end of it, I have to apply for future education and I also make my driver's license at the moment. Life is getting so stressful right now but once I took all my finals I'm gonna do this minimalism project, so thank you so much for giving me something I can look forward to.

    Great video. But I am really shocked by the dictionary "now called google"
    1) google keeps track of your data
    2) the act of searching in a dictionamakes is learn. It's a process and the search helps memeorize. Have you noticed that we often search the same thing online again and again and don't remember it ?
    3) what do you don't when the internet connection is poor ? Speaking of being 24/7 under wifi is not healthy and now that we are forced to switch to 5g we will be irradiated day and night. A physics researcher friend confirmed that wifi iradation is harmful to the brains development for children especially.

    When I feel like I need to do some de-cluttering, what helps me is to choose a few "sections" of my room or area, like today is the bookcase, once that is complete moving on to something else, like closet or desk. It makes it seem way less overwhelming, so i agree with the categorization method!!!!

    I watched a video about minimalism just yesterday and the woman who was talking about it made not only myself but quite a few people in the comment section upset. She spoke with such a judgmental tone, as if we should be ashamed of ourselves for not living more like her. I wasn't going to make anymore searches through RUclips because of her videos. However, this morning your video popped up in my suggested list and I'm so glad I watched it. Not only were you informative, you were also very kind and understanding. This is a pretty huge lifestyle change for some people. The way you approached things, the advice you gave that this wasn't going to be the easiest and it wasn't going to happen over night... I mean your attitude alone was so refreshing that I subscribed almost immediately. With that I say thank you and I can't wait to see what else your videos have to offer!

I am a new vegetarian (due to health and am thinking of going one step further and becoming Vegan, your videos are really helping me with that.
