Loved the domino with the laundry clips, when talking about removing temptations. I enjoy all these little editing tricks you mix in each video to keep it engaging. It's got to be a challenge, when shooting most of the b-roll at home, but you def make the most of the situation!
None of the videos that I have watched over the years made me follow minimalism, or to be honest, I didn't exactly know the real meaning of it until I was exposed to your channel. I am really grateful to you for coming up with such great contents week after week. Keep shining, Cheng. 💪
Thanks for the nice words Ajay! I'm grateful to have you here as well! 🙏
i've been into minimalism for 2months now! ❤️ but im having a hard time of not buying things that fall under the category "wants" hehe
You can do it! give it some time before you buy them, you might realize they are just impulse!
@@CKSPACE yeah , happens to me most of the time .
The first rule of minimalism is: YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT MINIMALISM.
Raúl Vélez ❤️
Set your rules for minimalism. Minimalism is different for everyone. Start with a clean slate. As much as we all hate to admit it, there are some items in our homes that are just junk.
I only few things left that just sit around collecting dust from before the digital age took over. Dvds, cds, 1 alarm clock, pokemon cards, 1 harry potter book, A couple of pc games from when they use to come on discs and not just digital codes. As a Millennial I'm kind of jelly of Gen Z they get a clean slate right at the start of the digital era of everything lol.
I'm currently 26 and already feel like a dinosaur lol.
I want to start being a minimalist. Thank you for this. ♥️
Glad to hear that from you! Hope this can help! 👍
“ Why” for me = Less Visual Distraction so I Can Focus Better [am in IT]. Liked point of not tossing/donating everything but being conscious of what one might need and value. Thx for beautiful vid- watched twice.
I’ve started with this lifestyle about 2 months ago thanks to you. From one of your videos, I then discovered The Minimalists and have been listening to their podcast since. From there on, I discovered a book by Dan Harris called 10% Happier. As a person battling with major depression and borderline personality disorder, this whole process has been enlightening and eye opening for me. So thank you. Keep up with the good content ❤️
Hello... aware - in a general sense-of the health issues you mentioned, but wanted to say so glad you started 2 months ago and that it’s been helpful to you, @ Afifah Zulkefli. I’ve heard if that Dan Harris book- we saw some interviews- he was a journalist who had on- air panic attack I think. Anyway, we like the intentionality and value of things so this is appealing. Take care. Greetings from Chicago.🙂
Hi Afifah, thanks for the kind comment and support! I'm so glad to hear that minimalism and living intentionally is doing well for you! I should check out the book soon. Hope you are doing well. I'll continue to work on more meaningful videos. Meanwhile stay safe and positive! ❤🙏
I think i inheritied my immigrant Parent's hoarding habits as they grew up not owning alot of stuff. Now that we live in the U.S. we have much more random items just because we can,and I don't blame my parents for that since they grew up in rural villages so this Western Lifestyle is new to them. For me though,I'd like to declutter my living space Marie Kondo-style so this video helps alot.
Tony NewGuy ❤️
Thank you! I'm starting to a become a minimalist, as a student this might be helpful to focus on study and to release the stress.
Glad to know that it helps with you studies! All the best to you Melvin!
I really appreciate you making these type of videos. They're so well edited and very nice to hear for more knowledge on minimalism. You're also very inspiring with your videos especially the minimalism challenge video. It spurred me to try it out as well.
Thanks for the useful and actionable video for all of us trying to get started! I totally agree that the "why" is super important whenever starting something. For me, minimalism is about more freedom/time and less stress/fatigue.
You are so welcome! Glad that it can be helpful!
Appreciate your comment Ryan!
love your videos dude, keep it up
I find your videos really helpful with maintaining a minimalist lifestyle and not falling back into bad habits. thank your for your amazing videos!
Decluttering is just so relaxing. Thanks for this vid!
Hi, CK! High quality content as always. And all good reminders for those of us who have been on the minimalist path for some time now, but have not quite decluttered everything just yet! I’m glad you focussed on the different ways to mindfully discard things. The chore of properly getting rid of stuff is, I think, one of the best deterrents for not bringing more stuff into our lives. Now, most times (but still not always), when I am considering a potential purchase I also think about where it will go when it no longer serves me. Why, just this morning at the Oxxo (Mexican 7-11), I had to decide between buying a tin can of beans and beans in a plastic pouch. I chose the tin because it is more easily recycled, and even if it doesn’t get recycled, it will break down thousands of years sooner than the plastic! As always, fabulous edits! The sequence with the clothes pegs was so fun to watch! How many takes did you need to get them to fall just right? Saludos desde México 🇲🇽!
Hello JoAnn! Glad to know that it serves well as a reminder for you and you are using to make better decision that aligns with your value! 👍Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful video. Very creative eye. Great message!
I have been watching your videos for a few months now, and you really inspired me to start my own minimalism journey! Thank you for providing us with your tips and information. All is so clear and easy to follow. And I appreciate the effort you put into all your videos !! :)
Thank you so much for creating this channel. It really adds a lot of value to my life. I find that when I'm dealing with stress or anxiety I often watch one of your videos. It relaxes me and helps remind me that anyone can be a minimalist if you just take it one step at a time. Keep up the excellent work!
I look forward to every tuesdays for your uploads because it's always so timely and it brings so much value to my life. Plus, the quality of your videos is amazing! Love from 🇵🇭
Same here. 🇵🇭🙌
Mabuhay!
Can't do it without support like this! Appreciate it Aaron! ❤🙏
Amazing man. Stay safe out there brother!
It is indeed a friendly reminder and guidepost for a minimalist-in-process .. let's ride the journey fella ^^
gizralnork ❤️
Great video! Both for the content and for the way to edit it. I like your channel
Your shots just just keep getting better and better. Also out of all the minimalist channels, I love how you explain the best.
Corey Walvatne ❤️
i really do need to take it easy because ive been almost obsessively decluttering for the past month. its not too much at this point, but after decluttering over half my possessions, I still feel as though there's a lot I should get rid of. I always feel I'm holding on to too many sentimental things, that are not even giving me any value. But I should take it slower, I guess. Before I over-declutter. I'm a compulsive person, especially when it comes to decluttering and cleaning. I'm always feeling like I could declutter more.
Violet Chadwell ❤️
I HAVE BEEN DOING THE SAME! I keep trying to convince myself to keep it for now, at least, and maybe try again later on if I do end up not needing it! Also what helped me was taking polaroids of sentimental items that I really felt I shouldn't keep anymore. I hope you can overcome that feeling!
@@telekinisa Aw, thank you! I appreciate it (✿◠‿◠)
The shameless plug was hilarious! Love your videos, the way you pronounce purchase genuinely makes me so happy. Thank you so much for continuing to create!
Love your channel. I approach minimalism like Bruce Lee did martial arts - Be like water. Adaptable and focusing on utility. If this sounds interesting, I shared my thoughts on this recently 🌿 Have an awesome day everyone!
Great video as always Cheng!
Thanks again Kris!🙏
Have searched your channel for new video yesterday. Been waiting.
Who likes the video even before watching ?
I keep on falling for u, watching every videos. How simply u put together all difficult to-dos. M one of those who wants to take the path of minimalism. I requested for this video and Thank you, this is exactly what I needed rn. Hope I can be a minimalist someday.
Sir, seriously I become minimalist after following you.
Nice, hope it is doing well for you! 🙏
Excellent advice, as always!
Thank you for this CK. Even though I live alone, don't technically have much (as people would tell me), & I don't have furniture (I'm not trying to permanently stay where I am forever so I choose not to buy any). I still have a lot of crap. Bad habit of holding on to papers, it's bad. But I plan to go through it all & then my other things. I try my best to only buy what I need or buy something I know will last me longer then the previous item.
I don't have an issue with going through & getting rid of things. It's just having to get the motivation to do it & also deal with my mental health as well..... I've moved so many times that I'm tired of having to haul so much stuff. Some things that are useful & other things I hold onto that are hard to let go but I need to. When I look at all the packed stuff it just makes me want to throw everything away & start over! But then again I'm very particular about things so I would still go through it.
Have you ever had moments in your past where you felt overwhelmed by your things, to the point where it made you want to just throw it all away? But you knew you had to go through it but just didn't want to, knowing it'll bite you in the butt later?
(Sorry for the long ramble CK 😣 )
Thanks for sharing, it really helped me a ton.
Glad it helped! Thanks!🙏
I just started on my minimalism journey last month.
My reason for practicing minimalism is because I want to free myself from the anxiety and depression. I want to overcome procrastination and become more productive. And I found that minimalism has helped that part of my problem. Decluttering unecessary and unused items felt like a huge burden has been lifted off my shoulder. Minimalism also helped me become mindful of what I purchase. It taught me to be grateful and content of what I have now and to be resourceful, instead of always looking at what others have and constantly compare myself. Buying only the things I need at the moment, and not giving in to impulses. I am improving at self-discipline as well. My room is easy to clean up now also.
really honest and good tips!
Definitely needed the reminder to reconnect with my intentions behind minimalism. Coming to the end of the minimalism challenge and looking forward to the future!
Wonderful! All the best to you and your minimalism journey! 👍
Thanks so much for this! 🌸🌼✨
You're so welcome! Grateful to have you here! 🙏
I love your videos! Greetings from Puerto Rico!
🙏 great content CK. Since you only post your content on Tuesdays, this week I used that to remind myself to slow down and be more mindful of how much time I sit on social media 👍 practicing the art of being bored!
You got this! Appreciate it Benjamin! 🙏

Good morning! Thanks for being here! 🙏
You are only my favourite youtuber ( because of minimalism and your b-roll)
Glad that you enjoyed them! Appreciate the support! 🙌
I don't consider myself as a minimalist yet, but I have started to follow your steps and advices.
Since I am a cosplayer I have many tools and costumes to store, but they still bring me joy and I still wear them occasionally.
And minimalism also brings effect to my spendings and studies too.
I’m always very happy for ur videos! You always inspire me for my minimalist life! Keep doing this Amazing videos! As usual, regards from México 🇲🇽
Glad to see you here every week Juan! Glad that my videos can help! Will continue to work on more videos!🙌

Hello From Philippines here I love your videos so much 🖤 So inspiring 🖤
Very nice video, methodical and easy to understand. Great tips for those just starting into the minimalist life style. Thanks. :-)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Lorraine! 🙏
Hi CKSPACE, i love to see your channel grow. Your the only asian i can relay to in this minimalist journey of mine. And may i just say that for me you are a deep thinker, made me assess my self even more. More power to you. Watching from the Philippines 💚💙💜
I love your voice and how you explain everything little thing 🌟
Hi I'm from Indonesia, my thesis is about minimalist lifestyle in this pandemic era
i want to read it! sounds interesting :)
@@blakel.7926 on going Sir
I d really like to read it too
Lol I'm doing it 😂😂
I love the new watch strap! Where did you get it? After watching your videos I really liked your watch and got one for myself.
I subscribe today. Thank you for the tips. listening to you actually is very therapeutic for my ears.. I'm still trying to complete my wardrobe capsule then I'll declutter more.. Been giving out old stuff to my friends or colleagues that want it or if it is still brand new I'll sell them.. Hopefully I'll reach my goal this year.. My relative just live besides me and so much clutter even some of their stuff is in my space already and I've been having anxiety how my space or theirs looks like.. I'm trying to tell them to gave away the old stuff that collects dust for years but they won't listen so i just let them be.. but whenever i see the items cluttered around the house or outside makes me feel stress.. 😅😅😅😭😭
Your videos feel like they're dripping in Dharma. Nice.
Thank you
I love your editing
Glad that you enjoyed them!
awesome content! Looking forward to the following week. Anyway, can you make a video about online classes? Thank you!
Thanks for the support Simon. What kind of online classes you are looking for?
The best tips
This is out of this world. I stumbled upon something with a similar message, and it was absolutely astonishing. "The Joy of Less: A Minimalist Living Guide" by Matthew Cove
I done watching all of your videos . Just waiting for new updates
Thank you so much for these tips. I discovered minimalism because of you and i am so grateful. My life has simplified and i am finally at peace.
P.S :Keep smiling, i love it.
Appreciate the kind comment! I'm happy to help! 😊
Thanks for this is a good guidelines.
as for me a filipino chinese who live in the Philippines it is so hard to live a minimalist life😊
Great video!!! btw where did you buy those glasses?!?! they look NICE!!
Thanks! They are from owndays
Thank You 😎
You're welcome 😊
Hey let me know how many new minimalist are here ...... Welcome to minimalism family peaceful and happy life 💓
Very cool 😎
He sounds so smart and convincing 👌
I click and watch even if title is same as others, coz i know content is 💯
Appreciate it!🙏
Just tried listening to this video and no watching, I think your podcast on minimalism would be as amazing as your YT uploads❤️
Thanks Ankitha! Might make that happen!
Cool videos !
Thanks!
Hi, do you have a planner/diary? Wondering how you do it the minimalist way. If you can do a content on that. Thank you.
I started minimalism because of your videos and right now I am on Capsule Clothing and I keep on track of buying things. When I want to buy something, I will have to ask myself first if do I need it? Is it worth the price or of quality. Or I buy something that has multipurpose.
3:30 this is such an important point, know why you are getting rid of something and look up how many people are selling that thing online. If you need another one how much would it cost? Is it a rare book that you can't find anywhere else or is it something that is sold all the time at an affordable price?
What do u do when it comes to updating your glasses? I have to get new glasses yearly and some I cant reuse. I know before Corona u could donate old frames but not now.
I love all your advice and videos, I look forward to your new videos
Appreciate the love and support! Will keep working on more! 🙏
nice haicut man :)
May I know what watch is that with the black nato strap?
Any other millennials feel like a dinosaur already from the major advancement in tech in the past 20 years?
I first grew up with a walkman, to cd, to ipod, and now a smartphone + digital everything Gen Alpha is gonna have it so good by time they come of age.
Can we all appreciate the like to dislike ratio 💯💯
You're early 😂
i decluttered alot of my clothes, more than half but now i have a few sentimental things left and i want to get rid of more things but im scared that i will declutter something useful to me, do you have any advice on that?
You just broke the first rule of fight club 03:00
🤐
4:51 I disagree because if you really don't want them you won't be tempted to take the items back, so looking through them again is ok to solidify your decision
Minimalism isn't fight club LOL!
What a cute dog :) Saw it in another video of yours the other day. Is it your dog or are you dogsitting? :)
Thanks Anna, yes he's my dog, he's always in my room!
@@CKSPACE Aww :) Please pet him for me
I love your watch! Is it non-minamalist to ask what make it is?!
😂It's a seiko 5 snkl51
