Does having less stuff make you happier? Inspired by Marie Kondo's book and following my interview with the founders of The Minimalists, I decided to give decluttering a go.

I'm 16 now and the first time I counted my items I was 15 and I owned 765 things. I say my age to show that I haven't had time to accumulate a lot. A year after my first counting I counted again and was down to 430. Everyday I continue to make that number smaller and I hope to one day be able to live an amazingly free life, and maybe even live out of a backpack.
That's impressive stuff! Keep it up and remember that it's not about the number of total items you own but rather the number of items that you own that actually bring you joy. Keep it up!
You are blessed...you caught yourself early
This was 3 years ago. I wonder how your doing now. I'm 17 and just started minimalism :)!!
Waow boy u r an inspiration
Don't forget that the aim of minimalism is not to have less stuff, but to have only the important stuff so that you can focus on what matters most to you.
Absolutely
part of it IS downsizing though. no hoarder is a minimalist. that's just not how it works.
Video Games Are Fun Owning a lot of stuff is not hoarding, not knowing when to throw things out is hoarding. Have as much as you want and need, just understand when its time to throw things out.
I still like the idea of having less stuff tho

WELL SAID.
445 is already virtually nothing. The average American household it's 300,000.
I know, it's nuts...
biscuitdave :-O
You also have to take into account that the average American household has more then one person in it. It averages at about 3 to 4 people in each household and many have even more people then that.
I'm not so sure on the 300,000 number. My family has a lot of stuff and I think more than most people but I don't believe that.
But this is only his cloths basically. Not including anything else that is in the house, kitchen, bathroom, books, etc.
Also, I don't think fixating on a number is the key, as he said in the video, that might be a good goal, but what you should keep in mind is more what brings value to your life without weighing you down. Or as Mari Kondo would say, what brings you joy. :)
Here is the thing. You don't need to have a certain number of things to be a minimalist. Just only own what things that have value and also give you joy. You don't need to deprive yourself but it is a good thing to try once in a while to see if you really need it. Cable television and mobile data were two things I knew I could live without but I only knew that by semi-depriving myself.
100% Brad, it's not about "how much you own" but rather "does what you own bring you joy?". That's why my idea of 100 things or less was silly. As it wasn't about that. But the process did help for sure!
Mark Leruste Totally! Good work on the project and I'm happy for you!
Thanks Brad, good luck with your projects too!
True, i like to cook and have a good collection of kitchen stuff, but I use all of it, after giving away what I never or rarely used.
I use wifi and my mobile is red pocket only $10 a month lol
I find videos like this very calming! That book did in fact change my life, I let go of a lot of things, and never regretted any! I had over 160 DISHES lol and have lived just fine with about 20! I used to shop as a hobby, but now I volunteer to do it for other people who can't get out & about. Happiness will never be found in the crap you a own. Good for you !
That's a lot of dishes :) Love this "...Happiness will never be found in the crap you own" Keep it up Tracey!
That's an incredible gift you're giving to people for sure!
Help me!!! I am a shopoholic! I want to be like you!
I'm hoping I have gotten through to my wife. She shopped for sport, too
Good ideas.. I began being a Minimalist in a spiritual rebirth in the 60s. A true seeker should "Put away all covetousness and seek contentment.." "He should be content with little, and be freed from all inordinate desire." ~ Abdul-Baha, Baha'i Writings
Moving was an amazing way to see what I owned. Not only did I pack my entire house myself, I also had a chance to really ask - why the hell do I own this? and that was priceless.
For me it all started when I would tidy up the surfaces in my room and I live by the saying of clear space, clear mind. Then a couple months ago I decided to purge my room and had like 8 boxes of stuff to get rid of and 2 big black bags to trash. Not quite done, yet. It's not easy when you love cute stuff and knick knacks, but I'm sick and tired of useless things lol. As someone with anxiety and depression I'm pretty confident that this has cleared my scrambled mind by 60%
I've been a minimalist my whole life without noticing. lmao
Good for you!
Did your possessions just consist of clothes & shoes? No kitchen equipment or homewares from your flat?
P.S. You had a lot of shoes for a guy 😉
Good question, I didn't actually do a video for the rest of my stuff but I also did it for my kitchen equipment and homewares
You make it sound like you only own what's in that room like no mattress blanket sheet pillow silverware or dishes. Pairing down your closet is very different from pairing down every item in your house.
you also have to own toilet paper, medicine of some kind, etc. you can't just have a few items or what you see. others are necessary.
The marikondo method goes by category, so maybe this is just part of it and the rest were sorted separately
Hiya Mark I have been going minimalist for about a year and have recycled, past on, given to charity and sold 90 % of what I had previously this wasn't just clothes but books items toys jewellery and paperwork. I took 4 car loads out if my loft one week, a lot had been brought in by a prepper I had staying with me for 8 months who would skip for items, wood and other things.
it's been a journey. I am now going to minimise what I have left so laying it all out will be good to do, I will film it and share. loved the way you filmed this inspiring.
I have been folding clothes Marie Kondo style for a month now. I have simple ikea units for all my possessions now 16 drawers in all and hope to get it to 12 soon.
love the minimalist feeling more room for yoga and a Zen feel.
So glad you're getting a good feeling from all your efforts! Hope you're well and good luck with the rest of your projects! Cheers, M
I had the mindset of a minimalist without knowing for at least 2 years without knowing. I still kept buying stupid stuff thinking I might need it one day. I somehow stubled upon some videos about minimalism and my whole world changed. I'm 20 years old now, and knowing this will absolutely make my life a whole different.
i used Marie Kondo's book to help de-clutter my space -- she also taught me to roll my clothes instead of folding or hanging -- sounds trivial but it really makes a big difference to my peace of mind
It does!
I’m 16 rn so I’m living with my mom. We have a lot of stuff, not like hoarding but decorations on walls and stuff we also have quite a lot of pets due to me loving animals. I want to make my room an open space. A space that I can freely be in. I do have a lot of rigs I don’t use anymore including more than 100 books that I no longer read or interested in reading again. Clothes wise I don’t have a lot, it’s mostly other things like small trinkets and other things I don’t need but I have the mentality that I want to keep it and there isn’t a reason to throw them out. Thank you for this video! Because of this I’m starting my journey to becoming much more free creatively and life in general!! I’m hoping to have my mom and sister join me to make the house less cluttered and make it a new lifestyle for us!
Great video! I started decluttering my closet a few months back & got rid of a ton of stuff. Every now and then I declutter again. It feels so good to not own too much things :) I always thought of me as a person who can be emotionally very attached to items, so I feel proud that I managed to minimize my belongings :)
And so you should be Anja! Well done for making more space for the things that matter most in your life. Keep it up!
To be honest, I dont see a point in counting my possessions. Technically I could do it, its just counting, but the number has no real value. Whats the point in counting single socks, cables, plates and cuttlery etc. They are different things and it makes no sense to put them into one single number. I personally think, that you should know what you have got - you dont need to get it all out and put it onto the floor to know that. Just go through drawers and shelves from room to room and make sure that you know what you own and make sure, that you love the items that you own and that none of the items give you a bad feeling or connects to a bad memory. The most important is being happy with the things you own and not spending too much time on thinking about what you own :)
Can I admit I'm jealous you're starting out with an amount you can sort in less than one day? Grant it, I'm married with 3 kids but still. I would love to get to where we could move house in 24 hours if necessary. We have too much! I think it's wonderful that you're doing this while you're young and single. Hopefully you'll be really conscious about what you let in as you life and family expands.
I agree. There’s a program I watch about debt collectors and they kick families out of their homes. They’re given like 4 hours to vacate, and I always think wow I’d need atleast a week with my family.
I had 40,000 items. I've been decluttering and going towards minimalism since 2008. I've had 9 garage sales. I've donated TONS of stuff to charity. My goal is to become finally free of crap by next fall- 2018. I don't miss any of the stuff! One day I counted my socks, I had 328 pairs of socks! Now i'm down to maybe 100 give or take!
Good on you for trying and for keeping at it, keep going
Was so excited that I found a tutorial 'bout how to be a cool minimalist. Passionately counted my stuffs and found I'd only got 42 items. Realised the reason I don't hoard is poverty. FML.
I'm an aspiring minimalist. I started a week ago. I'm taking it step by step. Seeing 5 Items a day.
My criteria if something stays or leaves is this.
1) what it means to me?
2) does it serve a purpouse in my life?
3) am I going tu use it and how much. For example I lived a year in US and moved back home to Puerto Rico. So the winter clothes I had are useless back home. Because we have summer weather the whole year.
4) do I Need This?
It's really helpful to see where you started from and watch you go through it. Many minimalists show the end result and talk about it, but if I stare at what they have and compare it to what I have, my belongings begin to feel incredibly overwhelming. Seeing that you're starting with a lot provides a comfort that it's supposed to look like it does. It inspires me to look at it positively and begin to transform it, instead of getting rid of something that got out of control. Thanks!
Thanks Britt, so glad I was abel to make it feel OK to be exactly where you are! Keep it up and good luck with your Minimalist journey.
What a great video! I have never counted how much I have .. i only know that I have roughly 40 items of clothing incl. shoes and accessories. It's freeing to only have what you need 😊
It's never too late to start counting :) And so glad you enjoyed the video too
+The Minimalist Ninja that’s pretty impressive to say the least!!
im reading her book 4 the 2nd time, what a relief to let go of clutter!!!
Glad you liked her book!
im actually going to add decluttering service to my house cleaning business since reading her book.. she has a concrete method that i didnt find in the other books ive read on this topic... thats a lot of shoes dude! homeless shelters will love u!
...btw i love that grimy dubstep intro :)
I've just finished my clear out and have ended up with 101 items of clothing, bags, etc. I only started with 147 and so I've only got 1 bag for the charity shop. If I'd been more ruthless, I could have got down to 85-90 as I kept 25 tshirts but I really like them all. Realistically, I only need 10-12 tshirts. I also kept 3 ties that I'll probably never wear but I love them.
Over the next couple of months, I'll keep an eye on what I wear and, maybe, a few more items will go.
I've been working through all my things using the KonMari Method for about a year now. After I finished the first time, I realized I could get rid of more and did another whole round. I must have made ten or more trips to the Goodwill, plus, in keeping with honoring your possessions, I took some items to special places I thought would find them a better home (collectibles and antiques to a shop, a set of drums to a man who refurbishes them and sells them, and vintage tees to a vintage shop in LA., etc.). My house didn't feel or look like a hoarder's house before, but I just can't imagine how I kept all that stuff! My house feels cleaner and calmer now, and I hope you find that same feeling. Enjoy the journey, I know I did!
Thanks for sharing your journey! I know, I don't have that much stuff (or lat least didn't feel like it) and since I've done the clear out of my stuff i'm amazed at how much stuff I actually had. I've already felt some peace of mind since and I continuously give stuff away that I don't use. It feels great actually. Good luck with the rest of your journey too!
I own about a week's worth of clothing, a messenger bag worth of art supplies, skates, my art desk, a pair of shoes (I am looking for a pair of running/workout shoes), a couple electronics, a few other things such as weapons, and Archers cage and his things.
Sounds like you're on your way! Keep it up!
I'm about to start packing to move house - and this has been the most useful video so far about culling your wardrobe (mostly because you're also in the UK, not somewhere hot so can live with only t shirt, shorts & flipflops!). I think it will also be tricky for me because I've been wearing a uniform at work recently, but will go back to my smart clothes again in March... Will certainly keep these tips in mind though :)
Thanks Alex and glad I could be of help! I often say to people don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's a process. It can take a while you know? And I'm now down to over 80% of everything I own (since January). But it takes time. You'll notice that this or that item can be actually replaced by one. And so on. Good luck with the process!
445 thinks is pretty less, compared to >10,000 items. Nice progress.
Great job. I did the decluttering and it was so refreshing. You will have to do it again because I did it once again :-(
Great video! I started decluttering roughly a year ago and just kept at it slowly removing things that I didn't 'need' I now have it down to a 40L backpack. It weighs 11kg but I'm hoping to get this down over the next month or so between 7-10kg. My productivity has gone through the roof :)
That's an impressive effort! Happy to hear your productivity has gone through the rood, good luck with the rest of your projects!
Your videos are so good! I’m still decluttering and it’s been a month. I’m almost there
Im getting anxiety just thinking about getting rid of shit!!😭😭😭😭 but it feels good when i do😏
I've counted some categories of clothing,but only after extensive decluttering. We moved 6 months ago, so I got an idea of how much total stuff we had - not just clothes. I halved my personal possessions and am working on doing so again, but there are a lot of things to finish with first, esp. books to read up.
To be honest, numbers don't bother me and I don't think it's necessary to get down to a certain number of possessions. Minimalism is a mindset that goes beyond figures and quantities. I want to make future moves easier and streamline my life (or I should rather say continue streamlining my life😀), I definitely don't feel the need to meet a 100 item requirement.
OK, now for the book vid!
Just for fun, I just counted my clothes and it's approx 85 not including socks, unders, night stuff or coats etc. :)
Hi Elisabethle, I agree, I think it's not about a certain number, rather about what brings you joy and what doesn't "hold you" down. Good luck with the streamline for next move then. And 85 items isn't bad at all!
you own like no electronics and a literal ton of shoes. I can not relate
I hear you. To be fair I didn't record the video I did on decluttering my electronics. As I did have quite a bit.
You could declutter your sentence by not using "like" in it, and speak like an adult.
this is awesome!!!!! I have been thinking about becoming a minimalist for a year now, and after watching this give me lots of motivation
Great stuff Annie, good luck on your journey to having more meaningful things around you :)
Annie Shih
Go for it Annie.
I'm sure you will find it to be absolutely rewarding.
Good luck.
Books are tough to get rid as you get very attached to them. They seem to create this feeling much more than clothes or accessories. Thanks for the video and do share more videos about decluttering books. :)
I have a lot of stuff :( In the process of decluttering now because I'll be moving to a new city and don't want to bring over lots of stuff I don't even use. I've moved like 6 times in the past 8 years and have needed a bigger truck with each move. It's amazing that you can fit everything into one room!
I hear you! And just take it day by day and the only way to get started is to, well, start! Good luck with your big move :)
If I don't count the items in the kitchen I am under a hundred items, if I do count them it adds a big chunk to my total item count, and most of that is from things like a 28 piece pot set where I use a grand total of four (or five, I do occasionally use the steamer insert for the 1.5L pot) pieces out of it.
Nicely done Liam!
I think what I'll have to do is just pick out my favorite 100 items and then divide the rest for donations and selling.
That's a plan for sure, good luck with it Jillian!
There's this Finnish documentary/movie called My Stuff that might interest you. The summary of it pretty much is: 1) One year experiment 2) All stuff into a storage 3) One item back per day 4) Don't buy any stuff. You can find it online, it was pretty interesting and might be an inspiration.
Maiju E Thanks Maiju, I just watched The Minimalism documentary by the folks over at The Minimalists. It was really good actually.
ok I will do all your suggestions.thank you so much for fast respond. I am ordering now
Great! Here's the link just in case: amzn.to/2k2H0oq (also put it in the description of the video :) )
I've mixed feelings watching ..but mainly want to cry !! I've gotten rid of lots but soo much to still go ! I got rid 40 bags worth in lent then have attempted a bag a fortnight and try to rid an inch file of paper work a week . My home has 20 years of clutter from me and my son. I'm trying to think how many of anything do wee need ...its helped me to think 17 socks or 17 of anyone thing im wondering anything that you let go of you have now regretted and has it helped your mental emotional health as i feel dragged by stuff but the anxiety of the thought of having it in one place .......gonna try ! thanks Janice
I hear you and good luck with all the process, sounds like you've already done loads so go you!
Brilliant! Fun video and thanks for the idea about Marie Kondo's book. I believe you will reach 100 items or less without much trouble once the amazing feeling of lightness and freedom of being de-cluttered really sinks in. Good luck and thanks for sharing!
Thanks William, glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck with your journey too!
its taken me 2.5 years, have one shelf and one mystery cupboard to go!
Good luck! :)
In counting your items, do you count everything? Furniture, notebooks, pens, bottles of hand sanitizer, etc.? I usually find it easy to get rid of clothes, shoes, bags, but find I cannot get rid of furniture, or the more practical items like bottles of lotion, etc.
Such a nice video! I do this every so often and I try to keep my spending on clothes low and people actually have been calling me crazy for throwing out my stuff. I'm just happy I got to help others with the stuff that didn't even add anything to my life and I am happy to see that I'm not the only one, I hope more will join!
Thanks for your inspiring video Mark, hope there will be more! :)
You are so welcome and yes totally, it doesn't serve anyone to have stuff in our closest that we simply don't use :)
I used to preach to others that they ned one carbord box per m^2 they have when they moved. But when I was moving from 74 m^2 a bought 50 boxes, then I had to buy 10 moore, and 10 moore and 10 moore before moving.
wow
This video is one of the best at really illustrating the process -- and progress! -- of minimalist transformation. Well done, amigo!
Good job!! I like the way it feels to give stuff to charity. It seems I am redeeming the situation. Now it’s available to those who cant afford things and can use it now versus me just storing it and being burdened by excess. My minimalist journey is ongoing, productive, and positively benefitting every area of my life and well being. Minimalism continues to amaze me how it gives focus and ability to do life purpose better.
I have counted things in the past or have a container of some type for a boundary for excess. I plan to go thru my things again a couple more times before the end of the year. I’m inspired to count them again to see where I am in my journey. Soon I will go on a medical mission trip and I look forward to how that will effect my mindset. The people we will be helping have very little in terms of possessions but I have a feeling they will be rich in other areas. : ) Thanks for sharing your progress!
Thanks for this awesome video - I'd like to cut down what I own so I can focus my attention on the 5 things that matter most to me, including music, health, and adventure. I definitely have hoarded WAY too much clutter and clothing over the years. I would love the clean, open feeling of a decluttered life - it just seems so far away from where I am now. I think I'm mentally preparing to take the next step...
I just moved across America to New England and gave just about everything away except for roughly 50 items that fit in my suitcase and the trunk of the car. Funny enough, I want to keep downsizing to around 20-30 items and really keep what I love, but we'll see.
Thanks Jasmine for sharing your journey, and hope you find New England to be a new home for you!
How to become a minimalist... Join the U.S. Navy!!! LOL, Some may not get it!! LOL
I think the less stuff you have makes you happier. I think the things you own or continue to buy that you don't need tend to weigh you down and you end up losing yourself in all the mess.
Totally
I'm gonna get rid of 100 things by the end of the summer! Great inspirational video!!!
Its sad that we attach emotion to things that really dont matter to us.... Im cheap which really makes it hard i dont want to rebuy things😂
I'm working on this for myself it's so nice to hear from you doing this. What about the kitchen. Bathroom
How do you really count like how many things do i have?...how do i break it down? Clothes includes socks and panties? What about make-up? Bags? Books? Shoes? Hats? Sheets? Socks? Im sure i very easliy have over 150 shirts alone. I want to live like a minimalist so badly but its overwelming when i have no idea where to start.
I can't do it like that, it's too overwhelming and time consuming for me to do everything at once. So, instead I go at it by section. Like the closet now, then this shelf, that shelf, etc.
I own two runners, two dress shows and sandels for shower and work boots
I enjoyed watching your video. I like how you explained what you were doing and how you started it all. I myself feel like I have a lot of items. I have not made time to go through everything that I own. I am also slowly progressing on a zero waste lifestyle which is why I feel the need and was inspired to go through my stuff. I honestly feel like I use/wear only 50% of what I have.
Always amazed to look at anyone else shoes, i only have 1pairs of sandals for everyday because i lived in tropic country. 2 pairs of flats, and 4 pairs of heels.
I should take a page out of your book! That's impressive. And I'm sure ultimately I could survive with one pair of flip flops and one pair of trainers. But then again, I also enjoy variety sometimes :)
+Mark Leruste yes, its fun to have extra pairs, but i ended up wearing the same pair again and again, so i stop buying sandals. Always go with neutral for everyday, so you can wear it with every color of clothing. I go with white for sandal or flipflop. Black for flats. And nude, brown, and black for heels. You will find its easier to pick what you want to wear when you keep your basic and fancy separately and control the amount of each category. Maybe easier for me because i dont keep up with fashion, only basic and classic suits me best. Have fun decluttering, Mark. :)
Thanks for the tips! :)
I probably own 400 comic books.. does that count? 😩
445 itens??? You were already a minimalist! Just kiding! :) Thankyou for this video, I've just started my process to become minimalist, and then I found your video. Pretty sure your videos will help me! Thank you! God bless you in your fantastic journey! Greetings from Brazil!
Thanks Leilah and glad I could be helpful!
So you are doing it by sections like in the KonMari method. I got confused cause I thought that was everything you owned in general.
Yeah do it by section it makes it more manageable!
I think actually counting the items (which I've never thought of before I saw your vid) is a really good idea. I think that way you really get to gauge the number of items you have. Nice channel, you got a new subbie :D
i admit im a mess...i currently stil have an apartment and a house packed chocablock..mostly with clothes and books....meaning around 100 pairs of shoes, around 100 bags, around 2000books and clothes items.....around 2000-3000 easy...and all this is after i gave 80% away to charity as keeping the storage facilities for my stuf was proving too expensive,....i love my stuff and d memories they bring with them...but id like to fit everything into at least just d house as i need to sell the apartment.....but no matter how much i give away..its never enough.....yesterday we donated 3 huge garbage bags of toys from d kids room and u dont even notice!!!
Congrats for having the intention to do so and for giving away so much. That's amazing.
I've been working on de-cluttering, I have one passion which is writing so I keep a few notebooks and pens but I use them to help keep track of my de-cluttering! I want to get rid of excess clothing but my boyfriend doesn't like when I do that... I don't know what to do :(
I appreciate the video. My biggest clothing items I hang on to is socks and underwear and recently I threw out two trash bags full of socks and one of underwear. That added up to over 200 pairs of socks and 100 pairs of underwear. Then I donated 24 pairs of pants/shorts and 61 shirts. My clothing (outside of my work uniform) is now 5 pairs of pants 3 pairs of shorts and 24 shirts. I still do have about 30 pairs of socks and 30 pairs of underwear but they all match and don't have holes hahahaha.
That's some impressive decluttering right there David!
I enjoy these videos. it brings a new perspective to my mind that we dont need everything.
Thanks!
Does this include everything you have in your living space like pots and pans dishes cleaning supplies?
Excellent thanks for the motivation - going to empty out my closet now !!
Awesome! Good luck :)
Almost objects from a wardrobe or laundry storage... Is there also the « kitchen » stuff ? Bathroom ? ...etc.
Thanks for this video, I'm gunna do it right now
You're welcome and good luck!
I'm going to do this
i would keep all the shoes and clothes. just stop buying new ones, thats all.
That's one way of going about it, and yet, that would be hard to do if the point was to declutter, as by nature, that would mean you would need to give away / sell some items you possess.
Mark Leruste
you will eventually declutter, just by wear and tear.
Awesome video! You got a new subscriber! Going to start my minimalism journey this month, exciting but scary! Going to be epic!
I'm in the middle of this process. It feels good to me. By the way, your beard is amazing, Mark.
Thre is still a lot of things in your pile I can see that are excessive, of course that is my opinion. If you want to see what you really wear, when you do laundry every week mark the items that are still in the drawers. You will find you don't need more than 1 week's worth of clothing if you can do laundry every week- 2 if you do it every 2. Once you figure out what you don't wear by adding a slip of paper do that for 1 year. You will find that there are still clothes and items you still don't use.
Being absent of everything isn't the key to enlightenment or anything, it is a perspective changing event. Changing your perspective can lead to enlightenment but only if you do it multiple times in your life. You've done great going from 450 items down to 130 items... you still have a good way to go. Good luck!
I love this "Being absent of everything isn't the key to enlightenment". Thank you for insight :)
I'm going to do the same, but try and fit everything in to 1 removal box
Good luck with that Eleanor!
Thanks a lot for this video!
Hi Mark! Super inspirational video, you have a new subscriber. I've tackled some areas of my house but I own a looooott of stuff so I still have a long way to go!
Thanks! Appreciate it :) And don't worry, although it may seem like a massive mountain to climb, take a chunk at it each time and you'll be fine! Good luck!
thank you!
Where do you sell clothing items you no longer want?
I enjoy watching this type of exercise...Especially with a successful ending. 👍
Good job!
Thanks Fred!
Great Job Mark! Thanks for sharing! Abundant Love ❤️ Beloveds!
Thanks Empress!
thanjs this was helpful... i hv been following konmari principles lately... i am thinking of minimalism since i saw tge minimalists documentary....
konmari and minimalism are the same arent they?
I haven’t counted how much I have, but I should, and I should get it down to at least 200, bc I know 100 is slightly unrealistic for my lifestyle
who does need that many pairs of shoes? I have never been a big shoe person but always have been a big crap person.... for me to lay out all of our stuff. (Family of 4 in America) I would probably need to use our whole yard.... maybe more space. We have let go of alt but still have way to look much.
I hear you and I had no idea how much stuff I had until I actually put it all out on the floor! I can only imagine how much stuff a family of 4 would accumulate. I'm sure when the time is right you'll give it a go. Check out Marie Kondo's book, it's a good start!
where did you get the background music?
Not enough. Gotta get rid of more. Still look like a hoarder with over 100 items left
You did a great job!
All minimalist should like this videos just to support each oter
I think it's important to support every otter too :)
I loved this video! Thank you for the advise. I just counted all my stuff, it came to 1200 in total!
Thanks Ninjella and I'm glad you enjoyed the video, congrats on counting. Good luck with the next steps of the process :)
You only own 1 BJJ Gi? What do you do if you want to train on two days in a row?
Thank you ! I watched this so I could get a good start ! ......It's working out well ! :)
Great stuff, good luck!
Good result👏
In the video you mentioned an interview with the founders of minimalism.com. I can't find the video. Is it an article or blog? I'd love to see or read about the interview!
Hi, in case you hadn't seen, the link was in the description of the video. And to save you some time, here it is again :) www.markleruste.com/episode/24
I wish you had talked us through your decision making process with each item. Other than that great video.
Interestingly enough, it's not so much a DECISION process but rather a FEELING process. I know it sounds strange, but if you read the book you'll get what I mean. It's not about making a decision about an item but rather how you feel when you pick it up. Strangely, it works! Glad you enjoyed the video
That can't be everthing? I'm pretty sure you own stuff like spoons, single papers, toilet brush..?
I've never counted my items. I've been reducing stuff regularly now and I think I might have around 400 items now but I guess I've started with 800/900 🙈
Hope I will manage to get to 100 items one day 😂
This was so helpful dude thanks !!!
