10 Minimalist Hacks To Live With Less / I believe that less is more. Less clutter, more clarity. Less distractions, more life.
Minimalism and simplifying are essential practices in today's fast-paced world, where overstimulation and clutter can overwhelm our lives and diminish our well-being. Embracing minimalism means intentionally decluttering our physical and mental spaces, adopting minimalist habits, and simplifying our lifestyles to focus on what truly matters.
Ultimately, minimalism and simplifying are about reclaiming control over our lives and focusing on what truly matters. By embracing minimalist habits and simplifying our lifestyles, we can create space for joy, creativity, and fulfillment while reducing stress, overstimulation, and clutter.
In my own journey to simplify life, I have learned a lot of ways how to live with less and keep things simple. In this video, I’ll share 10 of those. Hope you enjoy!

You know any other hacks or ways? Lemme know 👇😊
After 10+ years of practicing minimalism, I’ve learned the decluttering process is much easier, and much more satisfying, if you do it frequently (once a week works for me) and just focus on one VERY small area - one cabinet, one drawer, your wallet, your shoes, just keep it limited to a small space or just one category of items. You won’t feel overwhelmed, you won’t have to make a million decisions and it will feel like a very do-able and enjoyable task. And you won’t feel like you sacrificed too much, and will gently feel the benefits of what you’ve done over time. This approach works for me and after all these years, and having a very organized environment, I can still find something to donate, sell, throw out or recycle each and every week. It’s such a good feeling! Thank you Seve for all the great videos and encouragement!
I agree with that, great approach! 🪴 Thank you!
Re "purposefully over-minimizing"
Paul Graham wrote an excellent essay called "Stuff" (2007) where he shared a similar experience to yours:
< I first realized the worthlessness of stuff when I lived in Italy for a year. All I took with me was one large backpack of stuff. The rest of my stuff I left in my landlady's attic back in the US. And you know what? All I missed were some of the books. By the end of the year I couldn't even remember what else I had stored in that attic. >
100%! I've had very similar experiences. I think that's one other benefit of travelling - you learn how much you actually need 😉
Why do I own three irons?
When I rarely iron my clothes?
Because I've moved so many times, and always the iron, not being important to my daily life, ends up hidden away in some box or dark recess of the closet, under the bed, etc - and I forget I even have an iron after the move.
Then it happens one day, I need to iron clothes - so I pick up a cheap iron at the shops. And put it in the closet when I'm finished.
Then, upon moving again, I discover I have duplicated the iron, once again.
I own three irons.
If they are almost unused, you could always try selling two of them 😉
im glad i found your channel bro, you dont own a bunch of expensive shit and larp as a 'minimalist' but neither do you gatekeep and always manage to keep a realistic perspective. Subscribed.
Thank you for the comment and subbing! ✨ I am glad you found me!
@SunnyKindJourney, you put things very clearly, Sève. It is a philosophy that rejects myriad external validations in order to suppress insecurities and confirm that appreciation, respect, and amiable living has been gained in one's own socio-economic situation. It takes courage to be content with being oneself.
I've heard people say, "I am looking for a challenging life". My automatic response: are you nuts? Life hands challenges to you. Life is a continuous sporting endeavor. We have to make it sustainable and pleasant. It is easier if you keep it simple.
Thank you, and well said! I think solving meaningful problems is an important part of life but I wouldn't say I want more challenges, especially meaningless in my life, before having the opportunity to solve the existing ones already 😄 So yes, sustainability is so important if you want to keep things healthy and simple!
Congratulation on the milestone and great video! Having decluttered and wanting to go minimal on and off over the years, a couple of things I've learnt that has worked for me so far:
1. Learning to want less. There's little point in decluttering now only to buy the same item back in the near future (I've done that). Learning to want less and not be affected by things you see on social media is a healthier and more sustainable way to go about it.
2. Mindful declutter. Ensuring that the item you are giving/throwing, is indeed a non-essential. This also ties to maintaining a neat and tidy living area as much as possible. Sometimes the frustration of mess could lead to obsessive declutter i.e. just throwing things away because they take up physical space, only to regret it later.
There really is no one-size-fits-all method in my opinion, it's more important to experiment and understand what works for each individual. I do still buy the occasional non-essential item, but i've learnt to think thrice before doing so.
Excellent tips, thank you! ✨ I'm sure they will help many who are reading this
So well said ❤ I totally agree. Thank you! Ah! And congrats on your RUclips success 🤩

Thank YOU for this

Thanks man 🙏🏻
Thanks for watching🪴🪴
The "temporary living as extreme minimalist" also shows us how much less work it can be to have much less (less to clean! easier to cook, easier to find items) as well as for me a feeling of lightness.
True! 🪴
Love your house, smile and voice
Thank you 😊
Another great video (even though I'm not into minimalism, not physically or to declutter unfortunately ). I had to check your sub count when you said 20k, was sure you had hundreds of thousands! You deserve it. 😊
One thing i noticed was that even you put certain things on the screen down the bottom eg you need to upgrade, it was hidden behind the subtitles so i had to rewind and turn subtitles off to read it.
Yay! Thank you! 😊 I'll definitely keep that in mind with the subtitles. Thanks!
Congratulations. I think about 80,000 more people could benefit from your advice. At least.
A woman I knew took a social studies class where their book showed families from all over the world standing in front of their dwelling and next to a pile of their possessions. It went from a family next to a pile of goods that the man and woman could have carried to a family of Americans. (God help us all) We all got too much stuff.
Bless you and on to 80,000 more.
That's so true! Thank you so much, Yvonne ❤️
on youtube "Stuff -- A Cluttered Life: Middle-Class Abundance (Ep. 1)" a study of US American material life
@@ros8986 I believe the comment is referring to the famous photographs by Peter Menzel, from the 90s, in a project called "Material World" - very well known and reproduced many times.
@@dustyoldhat thank you!
Congrats on your success… I just found you on utube yesterday 💕🇨🇦
Thanks for subbing! 🌟
made me smile ☺x
Happy to hear that 🌱😊
What happens when one partner becomes enamored with the idea of simple living and minimalism, but the other partner has no inclination to come on board, and in fact, continues with the old ways of accumulation, clutter, etc? In a shared space, how to navigate this?
This is a tough one. Is there a space in your house that you all agree can be yours alone? If you can keep that space the way you want, it might provide you with a sense of peace.
I live more or less in a relationship like this. We have minimalist values but how we express it is a bit different. What I suggest is to have open communication of what the ideal home looks for both of you. From there you can start to set the middle ground to common spaces, and yes, if you can have your own space, at least in one room, that would be helpful for the mind 😊 Also talking about the benefits of simplifying life helps a lot!
Great video! New subscriber here! 🙂🙂
Thanks for subbing! 🥰🥰

isnt it a bit hard to say men need a nice car and woman needs beouty products ??
I'm totally not saying people need those, just giving examples of what the society tells us we "should" have. And yeah these were stereotypical examples on purpose 😄 I think the most important thing is to think what is important to you personally and what you think you should buy (if anything). We buy a lot of things because we think we "need" those
