I found out (the hard way!) that the more stuff I have, the longer cleaning will take. I have recently started taking everything out of a room, except large, and necessary furniture, and plants. You're supposed to live with the space for 24 hours, then just bring back in what you really need and love. I like the uncluttered look so much, I live with it all week! I also take the chance to give things a good clean. Living without the stuff in my living space helps me to let go of it, too.
Although my room is minimal, lately I have been feeling the call to minimize even more. The Japanese simple life is beautiful and my room is also inspired by the design. ❤ Thank you for all the helpful tips Aki! 😊
ありがとうございます：）Thank you so much!!
Same here

Σας ενημερώνω ότι στην Ελλάδα, περισσότερο από κάθε άλλη μεσογειακή χώρα, οι άνθρωποι γνωρίζουν αγγλικά. Προτιμάμε όμως τη γλώσσα μας. Υπάρχουν πάρα πολλά ιαπωνικά κανάλια, που δεν αγνοούν την επιλογή γλωσσών...Φυσικά, δικό σας το κανάλι, δικές σας οι επιλογές
Καλησπέρα σας

@SamuraiMatcha Greek subs please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Determining the theme of the room sounds like an excellent idea. I also like the idea of limiting the number of items.
I loved everything about this. Thank you. It comforts me a bit because I love the feeling of empty spaces. It’s just peaceful…and easier to maintain and clean.
When I practiced a more Buddhist lifestyle, I've always had a phrase in my head, "Messy room, messy mind." Over the years it's helped me greatly reduce the amount of unnecessary things and to create that space you mentioned. I love that computer desk idea with the smaller drawers! 😊
Interesting and you don't practice said lifestyle anymore? What happened if you don't mind me asking? One my sisters is a practicing Buddhist and she finds that it helps calm her ADHD mind as she goes about her day.
@@thelifewithnate I feel like I did everything to be the "perfect" Buddhist - and that's where I went wrong, haha. Perfection is silly. There's nothing wrong with meditation, it's just that my hardcore approach to it made me lose my sense of self. While I don't have ADHD, I believe routine and a regular meditation practice would greatly help your sister. I hope she finds comfort in it like I did.
日本人も再認すべきことたくさん載っててすごい良い！
I have always found the Japanese way of living respect worthy and fascinating. Personally I feel the more one grows spiritually the more one gets drawn towards minimalist lifestyle.
Once you start decluttering your mind and soul you naturally want to declutter your physical environment.....!
I agree, I think our outward environments are often a reflection of our inward environments.. cheers :)
The concept of a clean room is one that cannot be overestimated! I find that when my home or surroundings are dirty, it creates a ton of additional unconscious stress for me as I try to go about my day.
Like when I go to my normal day job and the apartment is a mess, all I think about is "dang, I need to clean everything up today!" and I run out of time! I got to implement some of these tips just to breathe more normally. Arigato, Aki!
Your inner self feels very pleasant and you seem happy. Nice to have found you, I like seeing you. Best wishes from Germany. 🤗
Thank you for yet another exceptional video. Since I started following your content, I've noticed a positive transformation in my life. While I may not embrace minimalism to the extent you do, I've made a conscious effort to incorporate many of your insightful tips into my daily routine. I've stopped impulsively buying unnecessary things, gotten rid of some unnecessary items, but most importantly, you've awakened motivation in me to clean up. I used to dread cleaning at home, but your videos have changed my attitude towards this task. I no longer see cleaning as an unpleasant duty but as a way to relieve stress and bring order not only to my surroundings but also to my life. Greetings from Slovakia.
as a tea student myself, I noticed some of these principles creeping into my life, too, the longer I practise. Such as assigning places, minimizing on the essentials, focusing on the beauty of the space and minimizing storage - after all: We do not LIVE in the storage. Life is activity and that means space. And I do find these changes extremely liberating. Still, you gave me some more ideas like the 5 second rule and the number of items. Thank you 🙏
お茶の先生が渋めのお掃除術や片付け術を低音ボイスで教えてくれるチャンネルかと思って再生したらめっちゃ英語で脳がバグりました。
内容もすっきりしていて勉強になりました。５秒ルール実践してみます！
Thank you. Your videos always bring me joy❤
Your videos have really helped me recently. I’ve completely overhauled my room in the last week and I finally feel like I can ‘breathe’ in there. I’ve thrown out so much stuff and really lightened up my room and my mind.
Thank you for the help!
I refuse to waste my life or mental energy looking for lost things. Time is precious and better spent. It takes no more energy to put something where it goes than to just throw it anywhere. 💗
Determining the theme of the room is such a helpful idea. I’m definitely going to use that.
I also really like the idea of limiting the number of items to 3 or 5. I’m also going to use this. I was at the store yesterday and they had a really good sale on shoes. There were quite a few in my size that I really liked and I do need new shoes. But I couldn’t figure out how many I needed at the store. I didn’t buy any because I just couldn’t make a decision. Having a pre set number is such a helpful tool.
I have been doing well with minimizing so far but I love the idea of a theme so much! I chose the theme “heart and forge” after your advice. I even write it (badly 😅) in caligraphy and hung it on the wall! I chose this because I only have one room to pack everything I am in, so I will now only allow things that are close to my heart and that support my creative work. 🎉
Hi, Aki, my storage space IS small… and that’s the reason for a constant mess. I understood you well… I’ve to say GOOD BYE to things. Another weakness ist PUTTING BACK… well, even after retirement I’ve a job to do now, self employed 😁. Thank you for showing an admirable result. Love, Monika❣
Simplicity is calming
Aki, your positiv mood and positivity is heart Warming and I'm always glad, you share your Daily life with us. Thanks a lot!
The idea of a simple THEME is brilliant. ❤
I just had a micro tiny house built for me. Even though I own less than most people, I have more than I need. Deciding on a specific number of items I will allow myself is a great idea.
A micro house? So when is the RUclips tour? :D That is so fascinating! Where did you even get one?
I paid money to have it built.
Your timing is perfect. Cleaning and decluttering right now in this moment, just paused to eat something. Thank you so much and now Im gonna enjoy your video and learn something new.
And I noticed that your video editing gets better and better every time. Keep up your great work! I hope to see you in the future again in germany so I can say hello
Edit: The tipp with the theme is pretty awesome since you limit yourself and dont add unnecessary stuff.
So glad!
This is what I've needed - simple rules to create tranquility.
Thank you for sharing this wisdom. I now understand this concept of empty space. Having just downsized my kitchen, I now feel the peace in that room. Please keep sharing, you make a difference❤❤
How u downsized ur kitchen
I’ve found that everything having a set place it lives to be really helpful 😊
It was a profound but simple idea to regard space as a thing.
茶道を少し習ったことがありますがこういう視点で考えたことはありませんでした。目から鱗です。
経験を活かすとはこういうことなんですね。
多分僕しかこんな捉え方してませんね笑 でも、茶道からは本当にたくさんのことを学ばせていただきました：）まだまだ学び中です。
"Turn around three times before entering the bathroom" better not to have any emergency 😂 By the way I love your channel. I'm already familiar with Japan and minimalism but seeing you feels more... Cozy? Relax? Well better than most other videos I've seen 👍
Your videos are wonderful❤ combining Japanese tradition with great tips, it's unique! Thank you.
Combining the modern need to declutter with Japanese traditions of old and ceremonies is an amazing combination. Pretty interesting since I implemented some of these tips myself!
Thank you for the useful tips, Aki. I hope you and everyone reads is well and achieving their goals.
As someone with ADHD and Autism, the "address for items" is essential for me.
I love your energy. Hearing your voice raises my vibration and makes me happy
茶道を通してお片付けを教えていただき、とても刺さりました。ありがとうございます！
love the idea of 30% empty
You're always so inspiring and supportive! This video is completely unique from any other organization videos I've seen...and I've watched many! Thank you for your wonderful perspective!
"if something feels bothersome people tend not to do it" - yes. We got a battery powered vacuum cleaner as a gift. We've been using it a ton since then. Much more than the "normal" one.
It's easier to get started, easier to clean the dust when it gathers in the container (container is smaller), no cables to fiddle around with when you go around the house. No need to look for a socket to turn it on.
All these small things make it like 2 times more enojable to use.
Hi Aki. Thank you for this useful video. I had already employed most of your suggestions in my life and They Work!!! After thinking about how to organize my belongings and life, I reached the same conclusions you did about what can be sustained in the long term to keep your surroundings clean and tidy and allow the open space for calmness. I am so much happier.
That’s incredible! You are a master of decluttering! 😉
This is very helpful way to minimize stuffs and asthetic life style as well.
This was wonderful! Open space brings peace. Peace brings creativity. I bow to you🌄
Thank you Aki
Greatly Inspired by your yt
no work today (uk fri 19 Apr '24 15:30) i have watched 5 of your videos, now looking at my room - not good !
I have set target of 1 hr per room for the rest of today.
I will be keeping your message in mind.
Wish me luck !
Doumo Arigatou Gozaimasu🙏
Keeping the room clean makes me do anything easy. I don't know about tea seremony or Zen but to live with minimal belonginsgs have been in our heart, I believe. 1year had passed since I started minimal life. So comfortable, everyday!
I enjoy your quirky personality and unique perspective. I think it is very interesting that your minimalism is inspired by the Japanese tea ceremony. I think your 3 or 5 guideline might be very useful and something I will think about more in my own life. Sending well wishes from Canada! 🍁
Love this video. You’re absolutely right about big spaces! I did notice my attitude towards big spaces. There’s this feeling that I want to fill in the big space with more items only to realize I don’t need them at all.
Very helpful! I will go and make my room more simple right now! 😃
Thank u!
This is a different approach to think about organization and space, I like it. I will think to purpose when organizing my rooms from now on.
Amazing video! I really "felt" what you were conveying. Your lovely persona is so nice and just surrounds me completely, making me feel light and airy! Thank you for that gift.
I like your personal dressing style very much! Would love to have clothes similar to wear in the house.
Thank You for practical tips like these, showing a way to navigate a stressful world
Lol to rotating your ramen twice before eating😂 But I do like the tip of determining the number of items. Thank you
Thank you! 🤩 I have to see my room is calling for organising 😊
Fun idea to tie it to tea ceremony's rule. Always enjoy hearing abouut your new ideas. I think the theme for a room is fun. Also, I could imagine setting a theme for something like your bamboo bike trip. You knew that was the theme, so you didn't need business suits, etc. Thanks for posting!
I love the idea of having a theme for each space or having a number of items. If it’s worn out or broken you simply replace it instead of adding to the pile.
I love the idea of limiting items to 3 or 5 and plan to incorporate this into my spaces. Thank you. ❤
I could listen to his voice all day.. so kind and caring 😊x and lovely do -able advice
Thank you for your enlightening ideas. I believe you just brought a new perspective on how I will be looking at my home. Have a peaceful day.
An enormous amount of wisdom and good suggestions for a living philosophy here. Many thanks ❤
I loved the 70/30 rule. It suddenly explains a lot, especially about my closet LOL. A great video!
Love the idea of Japanese tea ceremony 🍵. Thanks for the great tips
Wow really loved how you translated the tea ceremony steps and concepts to minimalism, very insteresting. Got a lot of value out of this video 😊 thank you for sharing this with us, I will try to apply a lot of these ideas to my home, thank you 🙏🏼
Your videos always give me motivation. Thank you!!
Excellent video. I recently came to the same mindset on my own that many of these minimalism tips address, so it is good to get a detailed explanation of the thinking behind them. I am actively working on getting rid of excess/unneeded things in my man cave, and having a designated place for all of my belongings. Less things, and a designated place for what I keep makes for a less stressful daily life.
Can you give tips for self control like a samurai did... I appreciate your videos every time you upload.
Ohh great, I want that too. We have the same last name you know Hahaha great to see another last name.
Thank you for your video. I'm currently in the process of cleaning up my apartment. With your tips I'm making great progress and clearing out is really fun. I used to try to clean up many times, but always failed. Now it finally works. Thanks to your video.
The theme and numbering ideas are excellent. I am excited to try incorporating them and seeing positive results. Thank you!
I love this. I try and keep things simple but there is more I can do. Thank you for the inspiration
Thank you very much. You are a great person and it makes me happy to see that you are so happy sharing your knowledge with us. I will certainly try and find an adequate theme for my house that makes me feel calm and fills me with order and peace.
God bless you.
Inspiring as usual. Thank you.
It’s the kind of thing I unconsciously know; “I have too many of this item!”
But we’re so conditioned to want to consume and buy cool new stuff, and we might have a bad day and buy something we already have too many of, just because.
And I know it’s not making me happy! But I do it anyway.
It’s definitely pens/art supplies for me. But looking around my house, I notice also:
-coffee mugs
-Blankets
-Hair ties
-Random little toys
All of these are the kinds of things I tend to buy when I’m depressed. And it makes me feel better for a second, but then I get it home and the stress sets in! Where is this going to go? Do I even have room for it?!
I’ll try to remember this next time I’m out and I’m in a bad mood!
Thank you for sharing these great tips. 👍🏻😃
I developed good habits last year because of your ideas.
I would like to try keeping numbers of my items from now on. 💪🏻💪🏻
I love the idea of applying lessons from the philosophy of channou to something else!
The most important rule I've implemented is one I took from a film, even though the lesson was meant as a joke! "Everything has its place and there is a place for everything."
what a creative way to incorportate the spirit of the tea cerimony! Aki, can you do a video teaching the japanses calisthenics? i was just watching one of your older videos and you mentioned this as a healthy habit.
thank you for these very helpful tips ✨
It was adorable at the end of the video, when you popped out of the closet 😂❤ Such a heartwarming example of making the most of your space 👍🤗
I am grateful to you for making this video, and I'm grateful to he Universe for having led me to watch it. 🙏
I learned a lot from you, please accept my thanks from the depth of my heart 🙏💕
The idea to determine the theme of the room is the one that I find it the most helpful :)
But all the tips were really helpful! Thank you very much! :)
Thank you so much for this video Aki, I love how you use the framework of the Chanoyu as a template for everyday life! Much appreciated, and very helpful. I am still hoping you will make a detailed video of the chanoyu ceremony ( step by step instructions) and especially how you use your travel kit 🤞🏼
Thank you for excellent advices!
So excited to determine a theme for my room! 🤗
I really love the theme of your room ❤️
Decide on a theme for the room first and limit items to 5 or 3. I really like these tips!👏🏽
Really enjoyed watching! Thank you for your intelligent production! 🙏 I love the idea of having themes. It's the reason why I keep messing up my main room. I designed it to practice Taiji. But I also need to use this room for desktop work and relaxing, therefore intentions sometimes get confused.
Thanks for your videos samurai!
Absolutely loved it. ❤
