    As I was organizing my nightstand I thought of this video and laughed so hard I woke up the cat and scared the dog. The family is used to me, so they slept through my mirth.
    What sparked my joy was this: as a good minimalist-in-training, I had purchased a Himalayan pink salt nightlight. Or pink Himalayan salt nightlight. The terminology is still new to me. I got a night light made from salt. As an aside: I'm not fully committed to being a minimalist yet, hence the nightlight and not a table size lump of salt. (I actually got the nightlight for my kitten, who has chronic sinus issues due to a cleft palate, so I was more interested in the potential health benefits for Hardy. Plus, I like the cool pink glow in my room.)
    Anyway, the light came in this nifty little box and I promptly organized my nightstand. And burst into laughter at the thought of Marie Kondo and her room dedicated to storing empty tiny boxes. I was happy I had just kept that one and not consigned it to the shredder, to be made into compost--oh, wait. I'm getting minimalism crossed with zero waste. Right church, wrong pew.
    Anyway, the point is: you made me laugh.
    ETA: the minimalist in me does come back to edit my posts and remove the extra space RUclips puts between paragraphs.

    I just discovered your videos and they are great! I used to watch a lot of minimalism videos years ago but I stopped because they all kinda say the same things (and there's a lot of "woo-woo" factor). Your ideas are intelligent and down to earth, and I relate to them a lot. You're quite the film maker as well, and funny! Also, you quoted Bruce Lee, so you win a lot of points with me 😂

  • @AWanderingEye
    @AWanderingEye 4 года назад

    PSA
    On off chance someone new to minimalism pops in here, Lefie likely knows the "20 20 rule" really is 2 decluttering questions:
    1. Can it be replaced in 20 mins?
    2. Can it be replaced for $20 (or less)?
    If answer to both is "yes" proceed to remove. If not, keep it.
    These 2 questions are only for difficult items you cannot decide whether to declutter or not. It ends up with you keeping the unique and expensive stuff you sorta like/want/need/use.
    Most of the time, folks don't run out to replace these things because by the time they actually miss the thing, it's gone obsolete, that version no longer is available and/or its price has increased and they now cannot justify the purchase as they are a minimalist and know they don't really need the thing, merely want it, it's a one trick pony, etc.
