Today I go over a few methods I used to declutter the unnecessary things out of my life.

I wish you posted 2x a week
I agree!
He is helping you minimalize your RUclips consumption
@@luisseg 😂😅
Me too
I don't I like that he posts when it suits his personal schedule. He has a full time job. Once a week is impressive enough knowing that
Thank you for the video and suggesting going slowly. I've been decluttering for two years now. There is no way I could have let go of so much without regret if I had forced myself to do it in one sweep. I've been able to let go of more than 75% of my stuff and it feels great. I still have a bit more to go, but mostly now it is maintenance. Also, as a side note, I;m not a minimalist. I'm a "letting go of my excess stuff because it was driving me nuts"-ist.
Feels good to see @Nicholas smile.
This is really lovely. I'm so happy I found your chanel and subbed.. People have been so nasty to me about being a new minimalist but I've never felt happier and free! It makes me feel comforted seeing videos like this. Thank you.
So good and so very helpful! Totally Love the box idea and will be checking that out this week. Thank you for your time in creating this insighful video.. All The Best!
I find hoarding comes naturally to me, i have to be very mindful about decluttering or else things slowly start to get cluttered again.
Brother make a video on minimalistic items we use on daily basis and what are some good quality clothing brands as a minimalistic we should wear and how to start minimalistic item business that would be great. Also tell us about some minimalistic high quality genuine skincare routine and products I've almost tried everything on my skin
A good idea! Noted.
Thank you for really nice videos. Going slowly forward towards owning less stuff and getting rid of excess things. There is a lot of motivation in your videos to proceed on this path.
Slowly but surely is the way to go. Thanks for the advice.
How do you meal prep as a minimalist?
Would you consider doing a video on your habits and routines again?
Working on it!
@@NicholasGarofola I love your videos bro ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing these thoughts Nicholas! I am getting more and more inspired by your lifestyle. 🙏🏽
Thanks!
Cracked up when you were cuddling the plant!
I absolutely love videos like this about minimalism. Decluttering might be a bit addictive I swear. So watching smth about more careful consideration really helps to stay reasonable 😁
Helpful tips ❤
Talk about timing! I really appreciate your content 🙏🏽
🙌
The box idea is quite smart, not just in term of time. But you just fill a small box and fill less overwhelmed about decluttering. One small box at a time.
Love your videos, they make me happy, make me smile. I found you like 3 days ago and i've watched them all. Keep it up brotha :)
Awesome! Thank you!
Super helpful vid! Thank you!
Quality content as always 👌🏻 I’ve been a follower and a silent viewer since you have around 8k subscribers crazy how it grow so fast. I like how you smile more often and added a little bit of fun clips in your videos now, love how you are experimenting with new opening music as well : )
Keep up the good work 👏🏻
Thanks for the kind words Kristine! And thanks for sticking around so long 😄
Oh my gosh, I just discovered your channel and am massively inspired to simplify even further! Will definitely be binging your videos as I love learning more about minimalism and simple living. Also, your videos are great aesthetically too.
Thank you so much Nyah!!
This is a very nice video. Great job!
Another valuable video, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love your channel and editing style so much! 👏🏾
Thank you so much!!
Love the message in this video but would just like to say, the editing and scripting is on point! Watched loads of your videos now and this is my favourite. Especially the intro, you just nailed it :)
I appreciate that!
I find myself doing what you do before watching you videos, but I watch them either way. Excellent methods and beautifully articulated
Thank you very much!
Great tips. I've been on a decluttering journey for a while now. Some of these tips or the way you convey them are refreshingly different. I may not ever be a minimalist. But I sure need to "lighten up" and your videos are very helpful. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Taking a picture of things I want to part with is so powerful to me for many reasons. I highly suggest having a folder on your phone with "Thrown away!" or something like that and start. It's really really useful and trying it doesn't cost anything. To me at least, best advice ever when it comes to decluttering.
Great video as always Nicholas! 👌🏾
Glad you enjoyed it!
You're definitely one of my favorite channels on youtube.. I've been following you videos for a while and I've only just realized how underrated you are and the fact that I haven't yet appreciated your content enough.. So, Best of luck my guy.. I'm sure someday you'll get the reach you deserve.. until then keep making amazing content as usual..
Thank you so much!
I love how I just noticed that we have the same iPad and iPhone set up. I literally have the 13 and the mini as well.
Love the video! I followed the same process when I started my journey!
That's awesome!
Great ideas to help declutter! Thanks!
Thanks!
You are definitely the one of the healthy inspirations on my way to minimalism 🙌
Thank you!
I’ve benn following you for a few months and your content is crazy. Keep it up and greetings from Italy ✌🏻🔥
Awesome! Thank you!
Amazing video, brother!
yay thanks for the insights! #minimalistnewbiehere🙋🏻♀️
I’ve been getting rid of stuff the past couple days and this video pops up, keep grinding hopefully you hit that 100k subs
🤞
Thank you videos are really helpful. 😊
Glad you like them!
quality content as usual.
keep up the good work bro!
Appreciate it!
Hi Nick. Hope all is well with you. A great video, thank you😊
All good! Thanks Gillian
4:53 exactly what I am struggling with 🌱😅
Using my home office for two years straight forced me to purge a lot of stuff I kept, I but never used.
Love ur videos
Can’t tell you how much I adore your videos. I put it on whenever I want to relax and listen to something meaningful. Do post more. Love from India🇮🇳
Thanks!
Lots of great things to unpack here. We seem to have had a similar journey in our paths towards a minimalist lifestyle. My goal was to get every item to fit into one black tote bin that I could easily take anywhere in the country. As a fellow Floridian, I also totally get the weather NEVER cooperating! Still gonna rock my black skinny jeans though... I look like an out of work Warped Tour roadie. 🤣
Can totally relate! Oh man do I miss Warped Tour, used to go at the South Florida fairgrounds. Hope you were safe during the storm!
@@NicholasGarofola Same! My first year that I lived in Florida, was the FINAL year of Warped back in 2018. And yes, thankfully was on the outskirts and didn't get hit bad at all. Hope you were good too!
Please do a video on food , does minimalism change the way you eat ?
Thank you
I try to declutter after the holidays. I keep a box by the door and add things. Once it’s full it goes to goodwill. Video suggestion: dealing with gifts during the holidays or birthdays.
great video brother real informative
Much appreciated!
I do declutter every end of the year as a minimalist. I spend and prioritize experiences and health.
I was the 500th like. So satisfying lol 😌.
In another video they said that there is no declutter police and it really resonate with me. Sometimes we put pressure when we don’t need to.
Well said Laura!
inspiring, thank you, totally agree. we have unplanned emergency works where i rent. and sincerely i felt unsettling at first to box all in rush but then.. i felt so liberated.. and after living days, weeks that way as the works at home are lasting. i realised what i really feel to take back from the boxes.. :) i already have not so much as i changed countries many times younger living with two bags only.. i settled few years and with, without realising accumulated a bit.. and for me, i felt too much and like lacking breath.. feeling back the ability to move easily, i felt back my young confidence and serenity and even more creative ideas to life situations coming back :) i sincerely advice to each one feeling time to let go.. to dare to do it.. even step by step... even with maybe piles.. there is no rush as the goal is not to feel pain but better in fact :) step by step :)
That’s awesome to hear 😄
Bohat badiya hai video
I've been minimalizing for a few years now (the first round of decluttering was huge lol....Salvation Army had to send a whole truck for everything), and I'm subscribed to several minimalists on youtube because I need the advice and inspiration, but I've never come across you until today. Where have you been? 🤔
I really like your calm and simple approach. And your cat is adorable!
You have a new subscriber.
Thanks so much!!
Hi! Congrats on your videos as I really love them! May I suggest a video showing how you create your video graphic animations? Or maybe a video on RUclips you can recommend to learn it? Big thanks and keep up the great work :)
Thanks for the idea!
Ваши видео очень интересные🙂
My family thinks I'm going crazy hahaha Getting rid of useless furniture that does not serve a purpose and the millions of mugs that are falling out of cupboards... Ya I'm the crazy one!
This is the art
Thanks Anastasia 😄
7:27 Great shot idea :)
Thanks Martyna!
I just discovered your channel, I really enjoyed this video. I'll watch the others you have and subscribe. :)
Thanks!
I love this video. What is the name of the font that you use here? I think , it is similar to Vimala Alphabet. Where can I get this? Thanks
Let me get back to you next time I edit, I've completely forgot the name
Hey how are things in florida terrible hurricane! Another good video! 🙂
I got lucky here, thank you!
I watch this video while my chrome taps are supper clutter.
❤❤❤
I have a box full of my decluttering things. Some of them are still in good condition but nobody wants it, nobody want to buy it. But throw away is just a sad thing for me :(
How do you balance between being a minimalist and your attachment to items of sentimental value? I know you mentioned taking photos of things, which is a great option, but it’s not the same as holding a movie ticket stub from a first date. I have so many things in this category (my high school graduation cap, a note from an ex, a book signed by an author), which I don’t “need” per se, but I also don’t want to throw away. Perhaps more generally: aren’t physical items like this necessary to reconnect more clearly with those memories?
I struggled with this a lot at first but it got easier over time. I find more comfort in valuing the memory over the item, but please by all means keep the things that make you happy even if it’s not something you “need”
Your hair looks GREAT!!! (I'm a barber) x 😃
Appreciate that!
Which iPhone case is that?
I really like watching your videos...if that makes any sense!
Thank you!
This video is different cause u r smiling, that added the colour in minimalism
Is that a card holder on the back of your phone? Where did you get that?
Apple wallet
Very honest of you to admit you bought jeans because Matt D'Avella wore them. It's kind of ironic that even youtubers that build their image around minimalism still make us buy stuff (in a way). When I started with minimalism I couldn't tell the mindset and the aesthetic apart so I just copied what I saw on RUclips, which led to unnecessary purchases. It's good of you to emphasize that these choices must be personalized in order to work in one's life.
Yes! Still guilty of being heavily influenced by those who inspire me. Ultimately it just has to make sense before it's purchased. Thank you Ksenia!
Can you upload a house tour?
Working on it
Do you follow the minimalist principles while creating and editing your videos also? I ask youtubers this because I find the process so overwhelming but I feel the same message can be conveyed simply and still have people watching and save time. Just a thought.
I enjoy the process, I need a creative outlet 😄
Ok I am done. Another Sandisk ad
I wish you visit coffee shop
Hi
Dont you have a kitchen?
Keep your privacy if you need to, and I will understand! But, if you have a girlfriend or boyfriend do they become pissed at your money-watching? Being social (and I hate being social; this is easy for me) is expensive! Thanks.
I don't understand why do you need to fit your life in a car? People have jobs and family and a place of residence. You go travel and come back.
this guy is a joke, try to be minimalist and having a family...
all of your tips are for people who lives alone. just an opinion,.... I really like your content
