Signs You Have Too Much Stuff [Minimalism Series]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2018
- One reason I chose to become a minimalist, was because I seriously had way too much stuff -- way too many clothes, shoes and anything you can think of. So I decided to declutter A LOT of those items.
In this video, I am sharing some signs that may be able to help you determine if you have too much stuff. For example, if you have to buy extra storage containers in order for the space around you to feel less clutter. You probably have too much stuff.
----
Comment below and share some other signs that I may have forgotten. Are you struggling with decluttering your space? Do you have too much stuff? Let me know.

![8 Types Of Clutter and What To Do With It [Minimalism Series]](/img/1.gif)
Comment below and share some other signs that I may have forgotten. Are you struggling with decluttering your space? Do you have too much stuff? Let me know.
Ronald L. Banks , I have way too much stuff. I have crap under the bed. I have crap in the closets. My kitchen counter is soooo cluttered. I’m gonna get it together before the end of the year.
Kenni Barnes that’s a really good goal. Start with one area and slowly work your way around the house! You got this!
If you have to constantly move stuff to 'hunt' for stuff, that's too much stuff.
That’s a great point Arlene! Thanks for sharing!
I personally don’t have a lot of stuff, but the two other people in my house have way TOO much stuff. If I had my way, more than half of the other peoples’ stuff would be gone.
I think just the fact we have to ask ourselves, “do I have too much stuff?” is probably a sign we have too much stuff.
You’re absolutely right! That’s a really good way to look at it!
sausha Aka My thoughts.
sausha Aka lol that’s true
Yup. You're right 👍🏿
Word.
"Special occasion" items! Growing up, my mom had closets and dressers full of stuff for "special occasions" and most of it never got used. Not even once. Curtains, bed linens, tablecloths, towels, dishes, etc, all stored away for some undefined event that may or may not ever happen. I say LIFE is a special occasion and should be celebrated as such daily. ❤
Elysa this is a good one! I can definitely relax to the “special occasion” items you mentioned. Holding on to things you know you’ll never use! Also, you’re absolutely right! LIFE is a special occasion!
I love the positive energy Dana!
Elysa Francisco my mother in-law is the same way.
Great topic! This is probably a leftover from the time when special occasion items cost more and were stored away for special events. Most people bought these items only once and looked after them carefully. But then mass production came along and people could afford too many. So, not surprisingly, older women as the wise keepers of the keys still had a remnant of these habits. These days though the older wise women are showing how to live simply and well bringing back many of their great habits that have worked for centuries.
@@patriciamcdonald6149 That's definitely true. In special the "special occasion"-dishes and the silver cutlery as well as the sunday-church-dress and the blouse with the special jewelries inherited from great grand ma... everything just used on christmas, easter and maybe sth like the 60th birthday from a close family member or a 50-year anniversery... For everyday very simple and cheap items were used. But todays lifestyle would probabyl fit last century special occasion life style in most days...
I knew we had too much stuff when my husband thought we needed a bigger house.
Laurie McMillan 😳😳😳
Laurie McMillan 😂😂😂
I approve of your last name. Respect from Scotland.
😂
😂😂😂
I think another sign you have too many things is if a) you can't find something you own or b) you buy something only to realize you already had one but forgot about it
Two great points, thank you for sharing these!
Yep. Im just like that.
Yeah, I know I have bought 3 label makers over the years and can’t find any of them. Also scissors seem to constantly dissolve into thin air.
@@naomiquinlivan905 😆
Yes
If you feel like no matter how much you clean up, your space still feels full and overwhelming, you may have too much stuff.
Great point! Thanks for sharing!
Yessssss!!!
Being a minimalist also means you can see any potential spiders better. Just in case you wanted any more motivation.
So true 😂
Yasssssss!
Very under-valued benefit
And I have arachnophobia ...
and why we should not paint walls a dark colour!
When you find yourself scrolling Airbnb fantasizing about trip taking just so you can stay all night in a clean, uncluttered space, you might have too many things! *raises hand*
Omg, yes!
If cleaning is stressing you out then you have too much
If you are renting space to put more stuff then yeah, you have too much
Great points Yunior! Really great points! Thanks for sharing.
Wow. I felt this!
When u buy storage containers for your storage containers
Lol!
First time I’ve ever heard this! 😂
Best comment! Hahaha
vacationboyvideos hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
YES!
If you dread moving day as the worst experience ever: that is a sure sign. I used to hate moving. Now it's much less daunting
That’s a great example! Thanks for sharing!
Currently me, just starting with my journey thanks to my little toddler and new live in boyfriend. This vid gave me that extra push.a huge purge is going to happen before moving day.
Annlaug Maria Tolo Moving is a great opportunity to ditch almost everything. Instead of hauling everything to your new home, haul it to Goodwill or the junkyard
it was a nightmare for me. Now I am trying harder to declutter and hopefully my next move won't be so tiring.
You are just adorable! Great talk! My husband and I can say that we have a clutter-free home now. It has been a 3-year wonderful process. Lots of donations and selling. Social media deleted for mental peace. Now working on a healthier diet, getting rid of chemical cleaning products and finding ways of having a more sustainable lifestyle. I have minimalism in my veins...lol. Greetings again from Brazil!
This is awesome, I am also making an effort to use more natural products and limit the chemicals I bring in my home.
Sandra ozio How great is no social media .. I got off Fake book a few years ago .. I played around with it twice - when it first came out and then a few years ago .. I cannot stand it .. I find RUclips educational and helpful .. Sending positive vibes to you and your husband 🙏🏼🇦🇺
He is adorable!
I wish I knew Minimalism a long time ago!
If you have multiple storage units outside your home.... you’re a hoarder
The clothes storage is practical for those of us with 80-90° summers and -20° winters. Winter/summer storage is needed for some of us 😂
I know what you mean. I live in the Midwest and you’re right. The winters are crazy cold and the summer months have a mind of their own. Keep growing on your journey!
DuckPin2011 Yes yes - I’m in NY & we have 4 seasons... I definitely have 6 coats & 6 pairs of boots,
hey it is what it is..
Or 80 in the day and 32 at night
Once a month we have clear the cupboard week. We eat from what we have until we cannot put together a meal. Keeps from having old good but also makes you think when you buy because you know you will be eating it within the month
That is such an excellent idea! I might have to do that!
My clothes were the only thing I had trouble decluttering. I couldn't seem to make decisions, took too much time and kept too much. One January 1st I turned all my hangers around and told myself when I wore something I'd put it back the right way. I kept a basket for donations in there and if I pulled something out to wear and didn't like it I didn't put it back. The next January I donated everything still on a backwards hanger. After 3 years I had about 1/4 the clothes and it has stayed that way. If I buy something I get rid of something.
Love this strategy!
Ive heard that and it makes perfect sense. I need to try that myself. I still have clothes from HIGH SCHOOL that I know will never fit me again. You know... menopause and all! LOL.
poodlegirl55 I really like this concept and will do the same thing ... great idea 🙏🏼🇦🇺
I have read that a lot but haven't implemented yet. The problem is that I need to find second-hand hangers for environmental purposes. I haven't found that many yet (or not much time to dig around goodwills).
This video is almost 100% me right now. I feel so overwhelmed by stuff.
Sebastian Blake time to start giving!! 🤙🏾
My mom, my sisters, & my brother all have 'too much stuff'. So easy to see! Eventually I noticed all the books stacked around my bedroom because my bookshelves were already full. I saw all the clothes that didn't fit in my closet and in my drawers. I saw... all my 'too much stuff'. Yup. Been decluttering all year & making progress. My books are up off the floor📚 My clothes all have a hanger or a home🧦 My junk drawer is now a utility drawer🔧 And my husband can breathe. Now he wants to play the minimalism game too❣️
I’m really happy to hear that you’re making progress and that both you and your husband can breathe now! I definitely hope that you continue to grow on your journey little.kitten!
Good job little kitten!
I recently had to get new heating installed and the workmen needed to access many areas at the same time, I had a massive task of trying to prepare for this. When I saw all the things piled up and was trying to move them around, I realized I had way too much stuff. I know this isn't something everybody has to go through, but it sure did make me think :)
Sometimes it takes situations like this to open our eyes and make us think! I’m excited for you Jessica. Keep growing on your journey!
This is similar to my situation. The power company showed up, unannounced to change out the main power supply box. It was a wake up call.
But did you get rid of some excess?
You have such a fabulous smile! I can tell you are truly happy with the direction you have taken your life. 👍🏼
I am! It’s a journey and I’m still growing and learning but I’m really am enjoying it!
I’m always purging closets, food pantry, and basement; wish I could say the same for my husband. I try not to put any emotion to an item unless it is super special. I sometimes like to give things away to the person that says “I like your.......” I will turn to them and say “Thank you, Do you want it?” Surprisingly, many times they will reply “yes.” Then I feel really good about getting rid of that item!
"If you have to store things under your bed" well i sleep in a loft bed, almost everything I own is under my bed :P
But seriously, love you❤
Lovely to see a black man doing this 😍
Why? I don't understand what you mean-no offence meant.
I discovered I spent valuable time searching for something.
If you have moved more than once and still haven’t used the item it just travels with you...guilty 🖐🏽
Who let you in my house 😂😂😂 I feel personally attacked 😂😂😂 this whole video is so me and thanks I needed to hear this
Haha 😂 hey I was honestly sharing truths about myself. I’m really happy to hear that you can relate. Keep growing on your journey!
Have you started getting rid of things yet. 2020 is coming to
an end ad well.
I’m actually going to be working on clearing out things this week. The clutter is adding stress to mylife. Time to get it out of my life
@@NoirChat22 Start
small. Like one drawer. If you
do not use something regularly
then recycle or give it away. Do
not trash things. Very bad for
the environment. For clothes -
if you do not like say a top, if
it does not bring you joy get
rid of that. Read articles on
theminimalists.com and also
minimal life journal has nice
things to read. Or play the
mins game. Day 1 get rid of
1 thing, day 2 and so on to
day 30 / 31. Repeat this
regularly. Get rid of pent
up feelings. Get toxic
people out of your life.
Even if it is family or any
relatives. Kind greetings
from Switzerland.
111 thank you so much for your advice. Don’t worry I don’t trash things if they can be reused I either sell them or donate them to thrift shops or give it away for free to someone who can use it. If a piece of clothing is to far gone I cut it up for rags or reuse it some how. I’m huge into recycling ever since I was 6 and am so happy other people like you are also. Thanks again have a beautiful day/night 😃
I had "expired" clothing. I thought I had all these options for nice occasions...but 90% of them no longer fit...
For me its a sign I own too many things when I find sth in a drawer and think "i forgot I had that"
Oh I know that feeling for sure. I had stuff stored under my bed and everywhere. Forgot I have a lot of stuff. Keep growing on your journey!
You are right about The Medicine Cabinet. After My Dad died, we did a lot of cleaning and got rid of stuff, Old Razor Blades, Shaving Cream, Expired Makeup, Old Dental stuff ie Orajel although I keep this Razor for sentimental purposes. He had a lot of stuff that he didn't want to get rid of but it was making up for what he didn't have as a Little Boy.
I'm a minimalist by nature, but still have to turn it up a few notches several times a year to live comfortably in my RV. Just dejunked several cabinets. Very liberating!
The one about the clothes under the bed in storage bins hit home. As did the one about standing in front of my closet for hours.
One sign I had this weekend is that I had 2 pairs of the same pants and I had no idea until I saw them side by side
This was my whole life in one video 🤦🏽♀️ I got rid of nine bags of clothes and I still wanna throw my whole closet away every time I come home
Not only are you smart and charismatic, you radiate kindness and humility. I love to watch your videos.
Bro! You hit every category I'm guilty of.
As you mentioned the storage containers, I looked over at the now empty containers in my home office since I've been purging and minimizing my things. I didn't realize how much stuff I had because everything was put away. Great video.
Exactly! I know the feeling! I use to have containers under my bed and in the closet. I was definitely surprised at how much I had once I pulled it out also. Keep growing your journey MsSassyMT
I had too many movies in my collection. Always thought "but
people will come over and look at my collection and even borrow some."
The reality though these days is that no one comes over and if they do, they will surely not look at one's movie collection. No one cares.
So I downsized my collection and donated most of those which I removed. Had like 300, now about 100. Will try to achieve a top 50 movie collection if I dare.
Keep growing! I use to have a lot of dvds also then I realize I haven’t watched any of them in years.
@@RonaldLBanks I will, thanks!
I was the same way with books!
I think the more clothing you have the harder it is to figure out what to wear, most of us wear the same thing over and over again anyway
That’s a very true statement Michael! You’re right, most of us do wear the same few items all the time and barely touch anything else. Keep growing!
"Just in case"..... Oh yes! I've become sort of disabled so am unable to do yard work or house work like I used to. And even though I KNOW I won't be able to use another broom, vacuum, mop, trimmer, clipper, etc I can't declutter them because..... you know..... "just in case". I feel you Ronald!!!
I know I have too much stuff. We have gotten rid of a ton of stuff since last spring. Yet, with 4 kids and a hoarder hubby, I still have a long way to go! Thanks for the inspiration to keep going!
I am certain you have been to my house-you are describing me perfectly-have just decided to change my ways
Haha I’m happy that this video resonated with you so much Marlene! I’m glad that you’re starting your journey as well, that’s awesome!
It just occurred to me the other day that, what I thought was constant rearranging to find the best solution for our families needs, was actually just trying to fit too much into a cluttered space. Thank you for your validation. I'm starting, family of five, baby steps...
Drawers stuffed to the max! That's me!!! 🤣🤣🤣 All my drawers are like that!
I hate when I have a house full of stuff, doubles and triples of some things. Then I will start a simple project - paint a plant pot, hang a picture, some little gardening thing. Then it will take me over an hour sometimes to locate the simplest supplies that I need to do my project! Why can't my stuff be in a place that makes sense? Why can't my stuff that I need be all together in one place? Why do I have to look through the house, garage, even the trunk of my car to find the few things I need for a simple project??? Ggggrrrrrrrrrr......... You are my inspiration, Ronald! Luv ya!
Hey Judie, thank you. I appreciate the love! Keep growing and learning on your journey!
Love this. I knew I had too many things when I started to misplace things too often in my home. It would then take ages to locate the item sometimes
I know the feeling! When I first started decluttering I found things I thought I got rid of a long time ago!
Thirty years ago, after I stopped laughing, I listened carefully to George Carlin’s monologue on “STUFF “ and that set me on a path to becoming a minimalist. Detaching from consumerism and the need to have stuff has been the most freeing thing I have ever done for myself.
Your advice and tips are “spot on”. I wish I would have been able to see this video back then....my path to minimizing would have been easier!
Yess to these “just in case” 😩items 🤦🏾♀️ that’s the next step in my decluttering process.
If you have multiple clothing items with tags still on after months you probably didn’t need them. Buy what you need. Use what you have
Haha, "too many things if you constantly rearrange the room." That's me!!! Subscribed.
Oh how I feel ya about the two drawers coming out together when you only pull one out! 😂.
Unfortunately, it’s my husband’s drawers when I’m putting away his laundry. I have no control over that, but all the annoyance. 😛
When often happens that you need that piece of stuff and you know exactly where it is, but you give up reaching it because there are so many other stuff in that place that the time you spend in digging it out doesn't worth the effort.
That could be a sign that you own too many things and that's the reason I'm here. 🤔
The way I knew I had too much stuff is if you try to do 1 thing e.g. get dressed, do a piece of art and it looks like your room has exploded!!!
That’s a really good one! I use to have clothes all over my bed when I would get dress. Thanks for sharing Aisha!
Wow, your comment hit home & made me laugh! Lol! So true! On a serious note, it's overwhelming realizing there is too much stuff! I suddenly woke up & saw it all! Where did it come from? Is it breeding more? Who did this...? Geezy this is gonna be a venture. Well, I'm in the game now. Bye bye, chaos & stress. Hello, clarity & ease.
Your right about people coming over. I feel like they can go all over the house except my bedroom and garage. Im glad some people commented that it does not happen overnight but we do have to keep working on it.
Yes your journey is going to be unique to you, remember that. Decluttering is not a competition and it’s definitely not going to happen over night. I talk about slowing down in my recent video “why decluttering can be addictive” check that one out if you haven’t seen it. Keep growing on your journey!

Emotions or in remembrance of someone we hold things for long time. Although we rarely use them.
Decluttering is the only solutions for feelings too...
❤️ & ☮️
Lol!! This is SO me!! The drawers coming open together, storage containers I "knew" would make the clutter go away, living out of my laundry basket-Ha!!! So me!!! You cracked me up!!! Thank you SO much for your honesty. You're a doll. New subby!
Living out of my laundry basket!!
You caught me... 🙄🤦♀️🤫
Time to do something about that...
I live out my laundry basket because I have so few clothes. If I'm not wearing my clothes they're being washed... I own three pairs of trousers 😬
3? so many, I have none, just an old rag I hold over my privates whilst I'm in the office or supermarket. wish i could get rid of that rag, so decadent.
“Just in case”. Yessss! Everything I picked up and said, “just in case”, “maybe...” or “someday...” got tossed. And the whole “turn your hanger backwards and wait 6 months” thing applies here too. It’s possibilities and not reality. If you haven’t used it, you’re not going to.
I love the motivation in your comment! Keep growing on your journey!
I moved five times in 10 years from a 4 bedroom house to a smallish 2 bedroom apartment. I have been going through this process for the last year now. When you realize your packing and moving stuff that just ends up in a closet or draw never to come back out until you move again!
I think we all have those things we tend to forget about sometimes. I’m sure I’ll come across a few things like that once I decide to move as well. Hey keep growing on your journey sue5!
Yes, we have too much stuff we have bins in my sunroom3 of them and extra blankets in the garage my husband has a large bag of clothes. We are working on giving stuff away. Thank you for the encouragement. We are currently working in the garage, one room at a time.
This is so spot on man. I'm going to be 50 this year and I relate to EVERY SINGLE one of these. Well done.
I used to get the extra containers. I would buy more hangers. An extra shelf. A new bin. I never questioned myself. I thought I needed these things. It never occurred to me that I had too much stuff, and if I would just reduce or maintain my inventory, I wouldn’t need to keep buying more storage. I get it now, and I have been letting go of the stuff, and the bins, and the boxes, and the shelves, and probably at least 100 hangers! Thanks for the channel, love it.
Having only enough hangers for my clothing. Absolutely no extras. Easy to put away, Keeps everything neat!
Are you sure you're not talking about me🤨..... I never have any one over, I don't like sharing my space, I work two jobs no time for anything other than eating, sleeping, going to work.... repeat. OH, my, now you're talking about laundry. 😂.. I'm convinced you're talking about me....
Every single one! Started my journey two years ago now and just this morning I had to go through my can cupboard again. A bag full!!!! Uhggg. What is that? Am I secretly afraid of starving? Am I that moody that I buy things and buy the time I put them away I have lost interest? I have to say the biggest mystery for me in this journey has been having to go back into some key areas again and again. But all aspects of myself, mind, body and soul have changed, opened, relaxed. Thank
you for being a great inspiration point. I feel like I am listening to my own inner conversations when I spend time with your videos.😘
the one about the house not being presentable was a GOOD POINT! we keep our home very tidy and I clean it deeply daily and EVERYONE wants to hang out here. another reason it needs daily cleaning. people have even said you would not want to see my house. you are so clean lets hang there. . .
OMG, you described me and my house exactly. I have just started my journey and I am working my way through the different areas of my life. I am finding it hard to let go of things from a happier time in my life. Things with Emotional attachments are the worst to let go of.
Things that have an emotional attachment you should definitely attack those things at your own pace. Don’t feel like you have to let go of everything now just because you’re starting to declutter. If you need more time to decide what you want to do with some of those items than take your time. Your journey is going to be unique to you, remember that!
It is good to leave those things til the last. By the time you have decluttered all the things you don't really care about, you have a better idea of what you really want. Decluttering is mainly just a matter of practising. Keep what you love, and keep nothing that makes you feel bad or sad or guilty. 🙂
Great advice. 80% of what you said applies to me! I have been purging for 2 weeks now and am determined to become a minimalist! I don't want to be so materialistic. Also, no more shopping if I'm bored. I can make better use of my time
I like the way you’re thinking! Keep heading in the direction you’re going. I’m excited for you!
I can't tell you how much this sounds like me. 100%. Until about 3 weeks ago anyhow. I stumbled upon one of your videos, and they have been so helpful! As a full time working mom of of 4, I always felt defeated before I began. I took baby steps to declutter and it took off like wildfire. My entire family has noticed and loves the change. Our home is cleaner and more organized and now I don't stress cleaning. We can always find what we are looking for. And the best part is I don't feel now that I'd need to devote an entire weekend to just try to clean. It would actually get done. And the perk is I am not worried about someone just dropping by. Thank you so much for your great tips and content in your videos!
You are a really smart guy. I'm so glad you are sharing this wisdom with the world!!
Every year I buy less and less and I've thought that would be enough for things to start disappearing lol. I'm probably never going to be a minimalist because the souvenirs and gifts I get from friends mean a lot to me, but you've inspired me to clean out my closet. It takes me a while to do laundry, you're completely right. Love from Serbia xx
Minimalism is about getting rid of the things you don’t value/need or use. If your souvenirs are valuable to you, keep them. But don’t forget to look at the other areas of your life you may need to declutter
Less is best...have only what you truly love and use ...great video thanks
So many of these things rang true for me.. good food for thought as I try to continue clearing out my life. Thank you!
Cleaning stresses and overwhelms.....constantly trying to redecorate/organize to create more breathing room.....embarrassed to have people over. Me, me, and me.
I've watched so many minimalism videos and this is the first one that really nailed it for me. Thank you for the motivation!
I’m really happy that I was able to connect with you and motivate you Jamie! Keep growing and learning on your journey!
I’m gonna need you to stop talking about me!!! Gosh I needed to hear this. I’m making changes and will get better.
You're an inspiration Ronald, thank you for having the courage to say these are things you are also working on. Hats off to you brother...
I can listen to you all day 🥰
That’s awesome Michelle. I’m happy that you’re enjoying the videos. Keep growing and learning on your journey!
Mr. Banks: Whenever I feel a bit blah, I turn to your videos. They give me a great upbeat feeling. Thank you for who you are and what you do!
I have a lot of clothes, jewelry, shoes, books and hair and skin stuff. I am a hoarder
. I love my stuff. Don’t know if I could ever be a minimalist. But I can believe what you feel and you’re living your truth; more power to you
You hit the nail on the head! Thanks for sharing.
Love your comments and ideas..
I have been downsizing and decluttering for a few years...I donate ...give to friends...and have a few yard sales each year...I inherited a lot of stuff from my parents and grandparents and trying to finish going through their stuff as well...we all have too much stuff and don't need it!!!
Just found your channel, very good videos! I just started my minimalism journey, it's a process, especially since I live with 3 other humans!!
Living a minimalist lifestyle definitely has its challenges. I’m glad that you’re enjoying my content and I hope that you continue to grow along your journey!
Getting people to change my furniture around because it's too heavy for me to change most of it.
But no matter how I arrange it, the place still looks cluttered!!
Man you nailed this! I've been purging for days!!! I'm actually loving it 😁
Omg! The "just in case items" made me laugh. That is definitely me. They are all in containers which never get touched, and are taking up valuable space. What a great and enlightening video. I am slowly going through my "too much stuff" and donating to charity shops (I'm in London UK). It has been daunting, draining, and difficult. But I am beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel. I just keep chipping away each weekend. Thank you for sharing your views. I have just subscribed.
Hey fierybeverley, sending love all the way to you in the UK. I appreciate the support and I’m really excited for you! It hard when you’re first getting started but when you see the life and things around you start to change it makes it worth it! Keep growing!
I do my all my laundry once every two weeks in those tiny laundry machines, I'm SOO grateful I have access to a dryer!
Thanks for these videos! I only found your channel this morning but put a bunch on whilst I was doing my weekly clean. It was great to keep my mind on why I was doing what I was doing and set my day up with some great positivity!
It’s like I’m watching and listening my inner self 😃
Thanks for the inspiration to live a happy and minimalistic life! Love your videos! Keep up!
Great video and I’m definitely guilty of all of the above. I’ve made significant progress. But also when you walk into your home and just feels overwhelmed, that’s a sign. I also remember wanting to clean up but not getting started because I had that “where do I begin feeling.” Keep the videos coming. 😊
Very valid points. I used to re arrange all the time. Pull it all out, "sort it" into said new containers etc, making it look beautiful for a few days.......well you know the story. Since clearing out and reducing stuff I virtually no longer move rooms around to create more space.
Wow, what an inspirational guy!! Man I swear I literally laughed about the organized storage containers, if that didn't hit home. I got rid of all that crap and the junk that was in it. Its so hard to say goodbye,but what a relief!! The journey isn't easy and I can't call myself a minimalist yet but I am working on it! Another interesting thing is to find videos on youtube about my journey. My initial thoughts were WTH, they have videos about this stuff. I am impressed and its refreshing to know that I am not alone in this journey.
I’m glad I came across your channel I need to change big time🤦🏿♂️
This man described my life!!! Time to get decluttered!
These were so true and really spoke to me. I never thought about some of this stuff before! Definitely time to declutter.
Thank you for this video, very good points!!
Hello, i am from Portugal and i really love yor vídeos. I want to say thank you because you inspire a lot of people. I'm new to minimalism and i'm in the begining of my journey and love poetry too. I feel myself changing for better with these new way to see the life and the world around me.
Loved this one too!!!! I started this journey the past couple of weeks. Getting rid of stuff is freeing. Good for your soul. :)
Yes I agree, it makes you feel good when you let go! Keep growing on your journey Denise!
You just described all my clutter issues. You make things more clear to me than almost anyone I've watched. This is of great value to me. I will be watching and waiting for your ebook.
I found myself having to stop the video as you were talking about the signs as I found that I recognised some of these and I had to think about it as I recognised them. Phew!
Whats interesting to me about this vid is that I have NEVER seen another like it... you see the typical vids on minimalism but this one actual gives a different vantage point and helps to look at things differently.... So many times I have seen people buy furniture/ containers etc to store the stuff they dont want in places better used for other things to try and make the home acceptable....
I have ALWAYS been minimal... grew up that way and there is soooo much pressure to amass items. You presented the idea of not letting people into the home due to excess...I didnt invite others into my space because I didnt want the critique of not having anything .. Made me smile... thank you for that...Opposite issues but same result... Well done... Like that you are a thinker... a good mind gets stronger with time... Jennifer
Omg this is fabulous...my girls dad is like this...he lives alone and our daughters n I decided to clean out the house....this man still had all my stuff I left behind when I lived there 20 yrs ago!!! My hygiene products in the cabinet under the bathroom sink were still there coverwd in dust....Im sending hom your videos so he can see its not a chick thing to declutter....THANK YOU RON 💜
