I currently work full-time in Japan as a "Salary Man" but I'm currently on my way to becoming a full-time creator and contribute to society through making content that I believe in and matter to me.
This is my dream and I know won't be able to make this happen without the support from each and every one of you. So it would be great if you could support my life journey by joining "The Community". The link is down below!

Summary: 7 minimalist habits according to Sena:
1) Decluttering.
2) Focus on your progress, and you don't need to compare yourself with others.
3) Being intentional with what you purchase.
4) Use what you have as long as possible.
5) Keep what you want to do really simple everyday. Don't try to do too many things in a day.
6) Learn to say no.
7) Organize space. If you're surrounded by a messy place, your mind becomes messy.
Thank you, Sena🙏
This list is Brilliant. I will write it in my journal
Thanks Tiara for the summary.
Noted
You are an inspiration!
Thanks for save my time
MY FAVORITE is #5: "Don't try to do too many things in a day." That is so true! And when I get that hard task done early in the day, I feel so calm, relaxed , and accomplished afterwards. One hard task . . . done . . . chill 🤓
I’m not a minimalist in any way, but thank you for being unpretentious and thoughtful. Too many minimalists come off as self righteous and superior. You’re very pragmatic and, dare I say, normal acting! And your life philosophy is especially refreshing and goes beyond minimalism and is just good food for thought in general.
I think his 8 years in NZ hv made much difference. Japanese in general are polite n considerate to others. Kiwis by n large are easy going n generous people. Imo.
@@rjleslee I’ve visited both places and really enjoyed both for very different reasons. I really fell in love with New Zealand, though .
@@belasco2 i'd think so. For short term visitors NZ is a v enchanting country with great natural beauty. Living in a foreign country over many years is a different story. One has to adapt.
Why are you so interested in minimalists if you're not pursuing the lifestyle?
I’m into minimalism but always get lost along the way. Thanks for this.
Just looking at you and listening on your voice relaxes me....
I am going to give this a try. AAAAAND!!! Sena has my heart. He's adorable. So precious.
Currently, I'm decluttering my Dad's things. He abandoned them when he became ill. I sometimes will hold these things close to my heart. The sadness for me is that he worked so hard for all this stuff and most of it has either corroded, rusted, dried out, etc. The things of value, such as his woodwork, and his fly-fishing lures that he tied himself, are of such great beauty, to me that is his heart.
This is why I'm minimizing, simplifying and decluttering I want to get to the heart, the very centre of this life I'm living. What is truly beautiful and important?
Smudge the things so they can go were they need to go and your not stuck with his illnesses energetic imprint.
“Just stop comparing” this words i will remember 🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏😌😌😌
I completely adhere to the minimalist idea. It took me years, but my home is emptier and cleaner every day (quite zen-like). Order greatly helps both your mind and your mood because it makes you feel relaxed. I only buy things really important to me (mostly some books that I love and re-read frequently, though the number of them is strictly limited so I don't need much decluttering on that front!).
Coffee and decluttering - the two things minimalists love the most 😍 😂. So true! Love your channel, safe hugs from Berlin!
Cheers for watching this video!
...and plants. There's usually at least one green plant in every shot
Right On! I thought I was the only one who felt like that. I really enjoy purging alot of my stuff. I found to my embarrassment, that I had more than one of the same thing. How Ridiculous. I got rid of alot of stuff and gave it to the Charity Office nearby that they really appreciated. Books on how to Use Excel, Piano, and the like which I think will help someone who may not be able to afford lessons.
@@laminage a lot* 😊👍
Yeah, I love divesting myself of stuff I don't need.
@@judylloyd7901 Isn't it amazing and so beautiful. I've watched other Channels and I've learned so much. There are people in my Family who "Brag" about what they ahve but in reality they are in a very bad shape but they feel that they have to keep up this image in order to get attention.
Thanks for watching this video! I'm interested in knowing your habits that you do every day :)
Let me know in the comment section if you feel like it hahaha
動画のご視聴有難うございました！
皆さんの日常で行う習慣って何ですか？もしよければシェアしてください：）
Reading and running everyday, Sena. Thank you for your videos keep it up
@@TrackAttackShow Great effort bro :) Thanks!
Walking focusing when I’m eating on what I’m eating spending time in nature
I also appreciate you dispelling the myth that people who are morning people or make themselves wake up early are somehow superior to people who aren’t morning people.(Not sure if it was this video or in another.) Refreshing. Challenging the status quo and finding the root behind social norms rather than merely accepting them is the mark of an original thinker. Thanks for also admitting to your own laziness and how you use that knowledge as a way to motivate you to do chores. Most people who feel shame about being lazy let it immobilize them into being even more lazy which makes the problem even worse! I suspect a lot of people described as “lazy” actually are just busy being deep thinkers or creatives.
Dear Sena,
It is easy to be a minimalist when you are single. I presume you are still unmarried since I don't see a woman and children running around. However, it's going to be difficult to be a minimalist when you are living with other people in the house. Please comment.
There are a lot of things you said here that I have figured out myself, and it's so rewarding to see someone else also feeling the same way 😌
I decluttered my closet this past couple of months. It saddened me that I spent so much money for stuff and some of them, shoes, disintegrated. They don't last at all. Sold 9 handbags, it was so satisfying.
After becoming a cyclist, most of my shoes are rubber.
This was a seriously great list....plus, I found it awesome how you have two accents when you speak....Very cool 😎
This is one of the reasons why the Japanese are beloved all over the world!
Hello Sena! I’m glad I found your channel! I learned a lot so far and I feel like I feel a lot things that you experienced in your life. Wish you all the best!
I'm in love with your living room. I can totally relate to you in being sluggish and I agree with the saying Less Is More.
His ideas are well structured and easy to follow. makes me think I can do this.! Great video
Thanks for sharing these practical and applicable advice!
wow.. I just want to thank you for this wonderful video :) It's exactly what I needed to understand. Greatings from France
Thanks for your insights on minimalism. Love watching your outlook in life.
Love your approach on buying 'stuff'. I do the same thing where I will wait to buy something instead of rushing out. I can sometimes take up to a year or more before buying something. It mostly comes down to a need vs want decision. There have been too many times I buy something on a whim and regret the purchase later on. There a many levels of minimalism, but whatever your level is I think it all boils down to 'simple is better'. I like your videos. Thanks for sharing :)
Your presentation is really good Sena...enjoyed this so much. Well done and thankyou.
I learned a lot from this video mate, thank you! ❤️
I really like the way you speak about minimalism as intentionality and simplifying your life. Really enjoyed
I just started having this feeling of living minimally just yesterday and started watching videos. I like your videos and it made me think I can live my life in a simpler way m. Thank u
Yes, coffee and decluttering 💚
To be minimalist, there is a rule. It is yourself. If you say that there is no rule, that is a rule...😉
Hahaha that's really deep! I like it!
YOU CRACKED ME UP
When you said
It's your lucky day
I'm going to tell you exactly how to be a minimalist.
I live by the Mantra "Less Mess, Less Stress!" Now more than ever I keep My Home clean. I am not a Hoarder but after watching The Show, I am determined to keep The House Clean. You're life is more organized and clearer and more efficient.
Thanks for this, Sena! I am moving to a new place and I'm practicing to be more minimal this time.
Great video. I am trying to be more minimalist by reducing purchases and donating what is no longer useful to me. I have been surprised how other people have become uptight about me reducing my belongings and I hesitate to use the word minimalism because of this. Something you said made me realize that the flip side of minimalism is basically materialism which is not something I want to pursue, so I now feel better about the path I am following. Keep sharing your positive message, it is something so many of us need to hear.
love the topic very interesting. awesome vid cheers
Decluttering... I really need this!
Really loving your videos..
Keep up 👏🏼👏🏼
You tell it in a very nice Way. Thank you when people find a way of life that helps themselves it is a blessed things. And people are all different so I love how you tell the story. Two many people out there try to put a number on how much you should have and its not the number that matters its what you truly need and its ok to have that. Yes I love Turkish coffee!😋
Thanks for this video! I did appreciate it!
great vid as always-- love the book choice! Also, i love those air forces!!!
Cheers!
Love this, thank you so much! ❤
Thank you for watching this video!
I so love minimalist videos like this. ❤❤❤☕☕☕
This helped me, lovely channel. :)
Just subscribed today, to learn and perhaps get into the idea of living as a minimalist.
Glad I found this vidio
Thanks for sharing and enjoying yr clarity English speaking. I always wonder what will happen to all my stuffs if one day I died 🤪🤪 I realised the mess during covid and started cleaning n throwing unnecessary things away as we all mostly busy with daily routine like work etc . I love the idea of minimalism as it makes our living simple n settled mind ❤️❤️
Great video! You mentioned about Ikigai. Would you mind to make a video about it? It would be interesting to see a perspective of japaneses minimalist.
Hello,
I am new to your channel,in fact this is my first video yours..I do appreciate your information and I do agree with... looking forward to see others videos yours.
Greetings from London.🙏🏻
Nice meeting you too.
Grew up in a minimalistic household with weekly decluttering. I like my stuff that I have accummulated : / If minimalism works for you, great! You seem happy :-) Waiting has been a good habit for me. It doesn't always work, but I try to practice it as much as possible. Kakeibo is the best way to keep track of my money, and it shows me the impact of my spending decisions. U R 😎 brilliant. Thank you for this information.
I've learned something from you video. Thanks Sana
Cheers for watching this video!
My habit that i do everyday is, open youtube and wait for sena's new video~ Lmao~ 🤣
10:20 Learn to say no~ I wish i could say no decisively to my boss in workplace when he requires me to do something i really dislike. Lol~ 🤣
Before i being a minimalist, i am quite a hoarder.
I seldom declutter my room before i start practice minimalism.
Because i was so reluctant to discard my stuffs which have accompanied me for many years
and i have tons of memories attached to my stuffs that always remind me of my wonderful past, and my loved ones.
However, i'm still forcing myself to throw them away eventhough i was so unwilling to do so...
because, i learnt, happy memory should keep in mind instead of stuff. If you forgot about them, that means, it's no longer important to you anymore.
Nowadays, i try to review my daily life and declutter my memory (as well as my stuffs) in every certain period.
because hoarding too much memories makes life heavier to moving forward.
This is one of the habits that i often do after i started minimalism lifestyle.
Hahaha thanks for watching this video!
I know! It's impossible to say no to your boss like I can't even do that lol
But if there was an situation where we could choose to say yes or no then we should carefully think about how we would respond!
Love it 😍
Great video man.
I just realized that it's hard to declutter when there's a lot of people giving you a lot of stuff😅🤣
Hahaha that's true!
It's also hard to be a minimalist when a partner is a hoarder.
The more things I get rid of the more things come my way.
You should ask for cash presents.
Just say no, or I don't need that, or no thanks, or I'm trying to declutter my life, but thanks for thinking of me, etc.
I am married with 2 children. It is difficult to be a minimalist because of my status, but I believe that being a minimalist is a state of mind which means anybody regardless of his status can be a minimalist. Thank you , Sena. I love the way you think.
I do know why this clip popped up on my screen. It seems that RUclips can read my mine. Thanks for producing such a great content.
I can relate to your thoughts on minimalism.
同感できる考えが多いなと感じました👍色んな方向に興味を持つのも1つの人生ですが、自分はそれだと疲れちゃうタイプです😅
Thanks for watching this video!
自分もあまりにに色々なことを一度にやろうとすると、めちゃくちゃ疲れますｗ
I really appreciate your videos. I try to have also a simple life.
I’m a new subscriber and am enjoying your content. I was wondering if there is a video that you talk about your bed? It seems quite minimalist and I am looking for a good alternative. Thanks!
Happy to be here 🥳
Cheers!
Hi, Thanks, Focus on the water! 9:56 with a few water we can wash the dishes
Hello 😍 great video 👍🏼
It would be interesting to know about mental minimalism, having fewer thoughts.
I’m definitely not a minimalist but I believe I’m working towards minimizing. When I moved into my new house, I purposely had it designed to have fewer cabinets and drawers. This has forced me to keep only things I need. With less storage, I am forced to not purchase unnecessary stuff.
Ikigai is a great concept!
Hi sena ¡¡ im latino from México., but at this time im living in usa. I just find ur vídeos on yt.and i love it .Im pasing a truble time in my live.. and after i watch some of your vídeos.. i have some inspiration yo live my live . And the truble im pasing at this time on my live .. i think now its not to bad ., because i have my self to fix it ..
New here. True UI do love coffee. Great English. Im Filipina. Thankyou
I have no problem doing only a few things during the day. 😌
very good content
I cant stand coffee. My anxiety plus daily coffee would set my brain on fire
Me too. I think a lot of people are getting anxiety from coffee and they don't even realise it. I only realised when I stopped. I only drink water now and I really appreciate it's purity and simplicity.
I have ADHD, coffee makes me sleep. But I know for a fact that for normal people, it causes anxiety.
Try tea, nothing wrong with not liking coffee. Drink what you like.
@@hambeast3966 Really! The Girlband Icon Sarah Harding of Girls Aloud (1981-2021) who died on September 5th 2021 had it but she did a great job controlling it.
I'm started declutettering for my tommorow how if's..
When you said you declutter your apartment once a year, I did say is that it?? lol Great video as usual!
Hahaha cheers!
ミニマリストの端くれとしていつも参考にさせていただいています。ついつい衝動買いしてしまいますが、本当に必要か？と自問自答することが大事だとしみじみ思います。
自分もまだまだ「真のミニリスト」からは程遠いですが、これからも楽しんでやっていきます：）
what a cool!!
Cheers for watching this video!
Your video remind me of a question my psychology prof once asked. Why is it we notice the objects around us more than the empty space around them? This is more involved than it appears.
one to remark, either true or not doesnt matter just to share another view of idealism. People said if you are messy inside you tend to think everythings are disorganised. I do have this problem, so end up no matter how I did with my house things still looked not quite right. Just like my hair, I have years doesnt satisfied with it since I lost my self in some way.
Hi sena! 💕
Hello!
Good Job^^
Learn to take care body and mind happy by your own.
Peacefully.
Many people make hard work for empty goal.
Work to buy things
then more work to take care things not yourself.
Work then work then work then die....
Can not see what is the real goal.
all good. thanks for sharing the lifestyle tips.👍🏼👍🏼😊
can i make a joke? @ 7:55 "in wop wop land, telly not necessary. we watch the curtain instead."
Wopwop haha yep NZ has had a big influence on you for sure😂
I declutter weekly. Little by little I’m getting rid of things. Now if I bring something in I take one trash bag of stuff out. Today I loaded 2 trash bags, so it was a good day.
I gave a thumps up
My mom used to give me all her things she doesn't want anymore, I usually throw them out.
I am watching all videos at once
Excellent Video Sena...In love with all of them and I have discovered myself and what I need to be successful happy and focus in life....that is the be a minimalist.
Question: What if someone who enjoysbeing minimalist and finds his happiness and success in being minimalist, but then after a few years he gets married to a lady who isn't minimalist...then what happens ? Not everyone is a minamilist and what happens when u get a partner who isn't? .....Does the guy end up being single/unmarried all his life or find a minamilist wife/partner or change the partner to be minamilist? Not sure if thats a great question or if you can answer it Haha 😃
タイトルの「７つの習慣」を読んだときにコーヒーが必ずでてくると思った私はミニマリストになれる可能性をすでに秘めているかもしれません。確かに人と比較しないことで自分に集中できて、自分にとって本当に価値あるものに焦点をあてられますよね。断捨離で物が少なくなると、環境もシンプルになって快適さと何より時短になるのが良いと思います。最近は消耗品なんかも同じものを買うことにしているのであれこれ悩む時間もなくなりました。
Anyway, drinking three cups of coffee and three protein shakes are my daily habits.
□Do I like coffee? Obviously! Yes!
物が溢れている今のような時代には、ミニマリズムが役に立つのかもしれませんね：）
Hahaha that's a perfect habit to have!
What type of use u video shutting camera and phone pls reply
Hi Sena. I have been collecting Zoids since 1984. I collected so many, I don't know how to "declutter" them.
While I agree with these principles, I think the biggest factor in life is really changing your environment. It's hard to change your personality it takes real effort most people don't posses. For example, if I go and live in China then I must fit in to that society (you have to adapt), learn the language, culture. It is challenging but easier than trying to learn chinese culture while living in western culture.
You are funny and educational
❤❤❤
This helps in so many ways, thank you. I think I'm a 'clutterist', but I'm wanting to change my ways :-)
@rowan orre That's wonderful, I'll check it out. Thanks!
@rowan orre Much appreciated :-)
Interesting, I was always taking the minimalism way towards everything in my life... without actually knowing it, I mean, knowing that there is a movement somewhere in the world on this issue.
I am extremely rational about my daily routine, relationships, my home, my spare time and all the things I don't really need. I devote my time and energy on one thing - learning. I'm insatiable, many areas of knowledge are... just demanding exploration... and since the learning is two way process, I really enjoy to pass on my knowledge to anybody around.
What else can you do with your life? ;-)
Where is my quote at the beginning of this video. WHERE is it?
i too waited for 1.5 months before i couldnt take it anymore and got a guitar ;D
what is that massage thingy
I have lived in Japan for 20 years. I like the wabi-sabi, open-space clutter-free esthetique one might associate with old Japan, before furniture, with a tea ceremony space, or possibly with Mari Kondo. I like your approach better! It is more planet-friendly! Don`t just toss things but think very carefully before making a purchase, any purchase, even a bottle of soda. That empty bottle - will it take up valuable space and even some of your energy before you find a day/place to dispose of it. Yes, I too feel a strong connection between outer order and serenity in my home, and my mind. Maybe it is just blood type A people or something...
I take issue with you calling this Japanese. It is more just "Senna." Most Japanese don`t entertain at home, host home parties or ever give a tour of their homes because if they have lived there for any amount of time, and with others, it is likely cluttered, more than I have ever seen any Canadian home (and I used to babysit, petsit and housesit back in Canada). This may be changing as we start working from home and part of our inner world is exposed to the public through video. I am just saying, older generations keep everything in Japan, just in case having grown up during war time or just after. Furthermore, shopping is a Japanese national pastime. And in Japan watch movies, eat and study in the same space, shared by the family which makes it harder for the housewife to declutter (other members`s stuff). Heated/air-conditioned space is also at a premium so often if there is a spare room, usually with no A/C, everything is pushed into there willy nilly. Thank you for your thoughtful videos!.
He’s also a very very handsome guy as well as being easy on the eyes.
Yup!
I click this because you are my type. Simple as that ;)
interesting....wish yo know you more
