1. They don't have sentimental attachments to things.
2. They don't save everything.
3. They tidy up throughout the day instead of letting dishes, papers, stuff pile up.
4. They are not scared of deprivation.
5. They don't say yes to everything.
6. They don't try to keep up (with people nor things.)
7. They are not content (constantly learning and working on themselves, giving back and helping others.)
I will add to the list, "Bought for a special project and did need it but probably won't need it again for another decade." I just bought things because my door panel needed gluing and because my car got a ding in the window and because my driveway had cracks that I wanted to deal with and once the project is over suddenly you have to store everything.
Do they make themselves at home iin the youtubers space? 😆
That's me!
I think the best thing about minimalism is only having and experiencing the best.
If you only own your favourite 7 t shirts then every day you feel amazing and it motivates you to stay on top of washing them too whereas if you own 30+ t shirts you can just keep using them and letting them pile up.
Same with keeping a clean home as you mention it's much easier to spend one minute 5 times a day cleaning up after yourself than dreading a huge clean at the end of the week and feeling mentally cluttered throughout the week.
Very true always wear your favorite stuff and use your favorite stuff
I can say, keeping things "just in case" has actually helped me and my family many times. From digging through the cans of random screws/nuts/bolts/washers/nails, the rarely used tools, boxes, automotive items, plumbing items, electrical items, batteries, etcetera; I'm the only one out of the whole lot that really looks back and thinks ahead. I admit I've probably saved too much in some areas and could use much better organization in all areas, but I/we have been in many situations that would have been a lot more difficult had I not been prepared.
Since when did Nick Jonas become a minimalist?
Since I started chasing happiness ☕
Haha i know right?!! I'm seeing his twin here ;)
funny. I thought of Simon Baker AKA The Mentalist
😂😂😂
hhh I recognize that too, I told him that he looks like Heath Ledger and Nick Jonas son. he got the best from each.
It sounds like you are saying Minimalists think for themselves. They don't automatically accept cultural values and desires driven by mass-marketing, social media; and the status quo, etc. I fear that many today are like lemmings, going along with the crowd, overly concerned with being politically correct, conforming to the culture of the day as well as going into debt as they pursue things to make them happy...
Minimalism seems to be one way to escape the "group-think" of the day, as it requires self examination, and a reflection on one's values to enter into it. I can see where not being hindered by the pursuit of excessive possessions, and the time to maintain them...can free the mind and soul, enabling self growth and peace of mind - exactly as you were saying.
Thank you for your interesting video.
I think of it as living off the grid.
Short & sweet is my usual answers at work. I got work to do!
I agree with all of this. Maybe I'll need it is a curse. Everytime I change apartments I Purge. Clothes are where I struggle. I wear the same 10 outfits, why do I keep the other stuff? Out it gets tossed!
👏
Good job for you!! A lot of charities can use men’s clothing 👌
Ok I've watched a great deal of minimalist videos, I'm subscribed to all the channels. Thought I had a good handle on steps I need to take and then BAM! You pull out the etched wedding glass and actually USE it! Thank you for the AHA! moment - I'm running to my 15 yr old stashed wedding glasses and pulling them out for use right now! Usable items....should be used! Mind Blown!
Yes! Why never use the best stuff? I'd rather enjoy it!
Good for you! I'm sure you will enjoy them very much. :-) I have this 'issue' with designer handbags, I have them to use them, not to be pretty on a shelf.
My mother used to say "con poco si vive e con niente si muore" it is so true... so little is necessary to live but with nothing we die... let us stop to work so much snd let us stop buying almost everything... we now know that we are going to throw away.wgat we buy... stop buying and stpo working made me free...
Wise mother. 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I really like your authenticity and your genuine and humorous attitude! Good vibes! ☀️
On top of giving legit minimalist advice, I appreciate how you often include in your videos that the time and money saved are used for good purposes and service 😌
🙏☕
Loved the video. Some really useful information shared here. I’m 17 and I’ve just started documenting my journey towards living a minimalist life on my channel. Videos like this one really help so thank you ❤️
I’m an aspiring minimalist and I can’t wait until I don’t have to constantly clean!
I love the iPhone example!!! My friends have iPhoneX and I still have my iPhone 6! 😂😂😂😂
💯
Yeah i get that. Sensible. I have upgraded as I don’t have a camera and the picture quality improvements were worth it for me.
wish RUclips had "❤" buttons because this channel would get so many. I love your way of thinking Gabe, and I'm actually working towards this minimalistic lifestyle. As you've said in one of your other vids, don't do it too quickly... so every now and then I bottom out cupboards and I'm finding that the "get rid of" piles are getting bigger! It's awesome and I feel lighter! I like what you said about sentimentals.... but mark this day! I am taking out the good crockery and out with the old!!
Saying no more often has made my lifestyle much calmer and I love it. It’s nice to have me time.
Ive decluttered my kitchen this last summer and its been so helpful! Helping me want to cook bc ive meal planned and its a organized kitchen My kids minimized their room so they dont have toys or a bunch of clothes everywhere. Ive started my closet and master bath which has helped me daily to get ready faster everyday for work. Im using every lotion, shampoo, perfume, makeup i have until its all used up. Im on a no buy on hygenic, beauty items only until I need some. Im going through the kids old clothes and stacking them my size and calling my sister and sisternlaws to get what they want, then donate the rest. Christmas was so easy to decorate bc last year I decluttered and organized four bins.
I’m a minimalist in a small one bedroom apartment and it means my place is most always tiny and cleaning takes mins... ahhh it’s amazing. Yes total I enjoy having people over! It’s a joy! Not a pain! Love it!
💯👏
You are so right. I love being a minimalist!
👍💯
Love your positivity, energy and content...keep it up! :)
Thanks sheryl!
You are a true motivator! Going through my stuff today.
my biggest trouble is mail accumulating. I try to be good about opening, reading, paying, recycling... but it's a work in progress.
Happens to us all
Keep growing Gabe! Thanks for great content.
You are so right. I have collected and never gotten rid of much.
Thanks for sharing, Gabe! I'm really trying to be a minimalist, and you helped me :)
Great content! We are buying our first rental that we will live in and I am purging decor and find myself almost afraid to get rid of THINGS because we will be strapped financially (optionally and frugally) for a bit. I don’t like when I am living happily with minimalism and want to get rid of something and fear others may think of my home as cold instead of cozy. I like to be cozy but love minimalism. Lol
Congrats on getting your first rental!
Focus on what makes you happy. If you feel relaxed in your home when others come over, they will feel your positive vibes. Don’t forget they already love you for who you are. Why change?
You could also put the items that you're most nervous about getting rid of in a box in the garage. See how the house feels without them, and if after a few months you find that it was nothing but beneficial, remove the box permanently from your home. Decluttering towards minimalism isn't supposed to be full of anxiety, it's supposed to feel liberating.
Thanks for making this video! I like all of yours but this one really helped me know that I'm not alone in what I find value in. I've always felt pressured to fit in to the "normal" of having stuff and things. I just want to sit and read, volunteer in the community, and do my own thing. Thanks!
That's awesome you're definitely not alone! being normal is for losers lol
Excited to see one of your earlier videos, Gabe! Such awesome wisdom! I resonated with you advice about saying no, and further reading habits after finishing school. Yes! #52booksin52weeks
I really enjoy your videos!!
Loved this! Great job! We love you!
That champagne glass is cute! 😉
Thank you for them :p we have used them 2x this week
My in-laws giving us things is killing meeeeee. The stuff stresses me out. And if it doesn’t stop, I’m gonna have to start breaking shit and blaming it on the dog. 🤣😂😅😅😅 Kidding but not really
Sell it out, is what i do. And I don't even hide it, at some point they just top doing it xD
There's quite a few good videos out there on how to talk to family about what being minimal means to you. Some family members may understand, others may not, but it's worth attempting the converations.
Donate things!
many older people saved/accumulated things because they were brought up poor and/or had relatives that lived through the Great Depression or a recession. It's a defense mechanism many people acquired to get through hard times. True, it makes no sense to hold on to things you will never wear or use; it might be comforting to them just knowing they have them. we've tried to adopt the mantra...when you bring a new item in, an old one has to leave
I love your channel! It’s really inspiring 😊
Thanks!
Great video!
The phone thing is true, I prefer phones with home buttons so I’ve kept my 7 plus regardless of what’s latest
Awesome video
Great video
Reaching back out after being disowned is a
Minimalist self denial attitude
Especially love this one!!!
Thanks !
Did you get a new camera? The quality of this video is amazing!
Oh and the content is helpful too! Thanks for the good ideas.
Yes I did!
Glad you enjoyed it
@@GabeBult what camera are you using if you don't mind sharing?
I declutter daily. At this point, I don't have much to declutter. So decluttering is easier. I do Fly Lady cleaning.
Fly lady cleaning?
having less stuff has made me feel so much better
Well Said 👍
I am not quite a minimalist. I am a trying to live within the storage that I have. I do have more clothing than a minimalist has but I haven't had to buy clothing in years and the clothing I do have eventually gets holes and gets thrown out so I am happy with my system for that. Cleaning and sanitizing gadgets and cooking gadgets is where I went overboard and am still not happy. Mentally, I am going through the list and I do think there is an "I might use that" depending on what recipes I make and the sanitizing gadgets are more related to COVID and certain house projects.
I love your videos. It gives me happiness! God bless you. From India🇮🇳
this may sounds odd but i actually don't like accepting gifts 😂😂 unless they wanna buy me things i want which is rare. instead i would ask them to treat me some food 😋
I agree haha
same here. most physical gifts end up just being clutter at my house. i'd rather be treated to some dinner or maybe receive gift cards. so i also never buy other people gifts anymore these days, because i don't know if they would need them. i'd just treat them to dinner. if i really like the person, i'd treat them to a fancy restaurant.
Yesss 😋 foooooood
Not odd at all! My husband wanted to get me something for Christmas, but he knew I didn’t want or need anything. He got me a Cracker Barrel gift card so we can go out on a date to Cracker Barrel. It was a perfect gift.
Same.
Constantly learning and working on yourself and giving back leads to more work sounds good but there is the vanity of pursuits too as well as a vanity of possessions. Which may take more wisdom to know about. Contentment is a good thing. I'm reminded of the passage of scripture "to the reading of books there is no end" ECCL 12:12 After a while you need to start coasting in life.
I live with three other adults; I'm related to all of them. The hardest part for me has been getting them to buy in to this philosophy of home living.
I keep a small amount of useless materials such as empty cardboard boxes 📦. They come in handy for packing ( being frugal so I don’t have to purchase any) and a window of mine broke and I covered it with the cardboard. Empty jars come in handy for storing food or other items. Cmon there are more ways to be frugal than a minimalist.
Excellent
I really liked your video. I too am a minimalist. I also think that minimalism helps to stay focused because of the organizational skills we have. It helps me a lot at work! My co-workers are usually scrambling around looking for their things and I am the only one in the room that knows where everything is especially in my work area. It is ridiculous sometimes, I just sit back and watch my co-workers suffer especial because they do not take time to put things back in their place. Literally I work with someone that every time she gets something out of her closet, things fall out of it. It's really painful. Would you do a video on sloppy people versus minimalists and how it is difficult to be around people like this!! Thank you for sharing!
👍
@@GabeBult like seriously I need a lecture on this Gabe cos my co worker is always like that.thanks
Awesome 😎
Haha! I love this vid !
Kristy Michas me too
Before I actually started minimalism I would watch the videos about how it makes cleaning easier and I just did not believe that it would make a difference. I thought you still have to vacuum and dust etc. But then I decluttered and it's like magic...because I still don't technically get why cleaning is so much easier but it really is! Cleaning is just so much quicker and easier...more time to do what I enjoy.
💯
A few months ago I donated one of my favorites vintage shirts that I used for years. My husband was shocked 😱🤪🙊.
He didn’t get it.
I told him I didn’t need it anymore. It was time to let go.
It really does not matter what your
husband thinks or thought. It is
your choice what you do not want
to keep - things, friends, family or
even partners.
Saying no is refreshing, I’ve gotten good at it.
YES👏
You're a wise young man.
Good kid is what others say about him.
When you keep your environment organized, you feel in control. When you are disorganized and messy, you feel out of control and lose self respect.
That intro tho
According to this guy, I'm a minimalist. Who knew?!
Just in case means you already have bought, when convenient, something that bought in emergency costs a lot more... naturally has to be something you know useful for your life style... doing that i need so a little money to live that i can work on a part time job and I FEEL FREE...naturally this is only an aspect nevertheless so important in saving si much money... minimalism willl show in future its weak point (ob my opinion)
Francesca Checchin some things are worth keeping “just in case” like my inflatable mattress for guests. Some other are not, like my husband’s box of advertising t-shirts. He kept a couple “in case he needed to paint a wall” and donated the rest. When we go through our things in our basement/garage/attic we usually find real useless things that we didn’t want to declutter right away and that we have even forgotten what they are, those are the ones to declutter
I agree, champagne tastes like salt, IMO. :)
💯
Ugh we got so many personalized glasses when we got married lol
It happens lol
💚
Why do minimalists all have similar decor?
I do 27265 rounds of cleaning throughout the day, I feel both calmer after and pissed at everyone in my family who can’t put things back where they belong (like dishes in the dishwasher you know!)
Holy cheese balls I’m a minimalist. I didn’t even know what that meant. Lol
Teslas are rad tho
Oh my God! You look 17 here! Becoming dad has done you well
One good thing is to photograph your sentimental values and get rid of it. :)
You know your a minimalist when you don’t wear shoes to smash a glass you don’t want
What books do you suggest reading?
That depends on what you're interested in I have a few recommendations in my description
Does anyone ever wonder if they found a fairly benign synonym for schizophrenia, and schizos started doing a lot of videos, that they too would couch their behavior in the most virtuous ways?
In some ways some of the minimalist vids I've seen are not much different than if a psychotic put himself out there as "not being afraid to be introspective" or a sociopath "not being afraid to do what must be done."
Here I am trying to be a minimalist prepper. Definitely an oxymoron
Man what's the secret about that hair?
Mimialist meets hoarder love story.
should be 7 normal things normal people should do :)
Minimalist usually are smarter than stomping on broken glass in bare foot
It was a joke lol nothing was in there
You don’t need to destroy I’ll get rid of the box you can give it away to someone else that might need it that is so tacky so unforgiving because there are many people like a power use you in the box that you crashed and a glass that you broke
I didn't really brake the glass it was a joke and donated everything I could that I own
AMAZON MINIMALIST
fix ur headtop fam
What's that
It's true, champagne tastes like shiteee
Agree
Did you just get divorced 😱
No haha
I sense that you are a Christian ✝️
Oh no - horrible possibility
Why make it like a religion? Why make up all these rules?
It’s Nora Bohr rules at all. Actuelle minimalism is something that can be interpreted differently by different people. Those things he has mentioned are basically just ideas a lot of minimalist share.
Having no rules can be a religion in of itself. These are side steps.
Why don't you make a better profile picture!!!🙄
I like you, you are charismatic, but i find your content far from insightful
