    My grandpa used to say: "Dont buy what you need but what you can't live without". Do that and buy quality when you buy something. Has worked for me.

    one thing that's helped me cut back on social media is getting prints of my photos. this is definitely less minimalist, but it makes me happy to see pictures of my favorite people and places framed around the house. part of what i liked about having an instagram profile was the feeling that i am documenting my life in a way. now i do the same thing, just privately through the decorations in my house. no ads and no random people from high school judging me.

    Nice video. I’m glad you are also minimalist in words and actions. I get bored with other minimalist presenters who sip coffee (oh so cool) and ramble on and on. I hate wires too. Funny to see you going retro - a watch, a clock. I’m looking forward to seeing how you cope with a whole house and several kids.🙂

    Also, would like to share my way of storing files - I've recently upgraded my hard drive to OneDrive, so all of my files are stored on cloud. I had to because the hard drive I previously used ended up malfunctioning and I don't want to endanger my files again ever. Unsure if this is one good step to living a minimalist life, but I do hope it is!
    Good luck! I am now subscribed. :)

    Hey another great video!! Every single time you come out with a video it brightens my life and helps me excel. I know this kind of goes against minimalism but I believe that a fountain pen my be very ncie in your life. I see your love for worn things and wabi sabi so I believe a brass pen will be the best thing for you, if i had to recommend one it would be a lilliput kaweco ( not sure if that is spelt correctly) but even though it is adding things into your life right now only having ne pen and an ink will clear up your life of stationary for a lifetime.

    Great tip about using the watch at home. Got a really nice watch last year (I decluttered my jewelry and kept the valuable ones only), wore it everyday, and finally trained myself to look at it for time instead of my phone.
    But because of lockdown, most of the time I'm just ending up looking at my bare wrist THEN I'll go over my phone 😂.

    I would suggest getting multiple harddrives though. Harddrives will fail, that's a certainty. In IT we say that a file doesn't really exist if it's not stored on 3 different media in 2 different physical locations.

    • @Richie33404

      @@annetcell-ly4571 not to be a smart @ss but "A thousand physical photos vs A Hard drive that can store more than a thousand photos..." not a hard choice really ..if you are afraid that data might get corrupted then like what comments above said... store it on another hard drive... 2 hard drives that can potentially store more data isn't a clutter at all...

    Great video. I did the simple wardrobe thing for about a year. Half a dozen plain t-shirts and two pairs of jeans (I even removed all of the branding from them) other than some jackets and underwear and socks and stuff. I had a physical labor job so this essentially meant I only had my work clothes - this created a lack of a barrier between work mode and home mode for me. I got extremely tired of it and felt repressed. Clothing is one thing, as a minimalist, I truly enjoy. I wear stuff for a long time but I love having a variety of clothes since it is a form of creative expression for me. I also have a lot of tasks that require different types of clothing: workout gear, causal clothes, and clothing I get dirty doing yard or mechanical work. People also thought I was "dirty" all the time which wasn't true but it caused issues with my employer at the time.

    @eightyninetreasure 4 года назад +2

    Me personally: I do two things. 1) When I wake up if the incentive is high then I jump out of bed, not only the income but the reason why I wake must have purpose and meaning. 2) I put my phone across the room, I have to walk over to my phone and shut it off. Then I’m cold and annoyed, and persuade myself to keep going. Or I could totally run back into bed. -- In the end it’s all about discipline and what you deem important. We can own whatever we want without explanation. However if the goal is to own less or be more frugal. Then as long as you can afford the item and the space, then it’s all good.

    If I can suggest, replacing external storage media with cloud storage; I used to have so many different size usb sticks, different model and size camera memory cards and external storage hard drives, all with different connectors and adapters and readers, that the act of archiving my digital clutter became clutter itself. I signed up for the 2TB storage plan on Google Drive and sorted and uploaded all my data to the cloud from all my different media. Benefit is that it is all in one location, all easily accessible from my laptop, my phone and iPads at the touch of a button, and anything I record or capture on my phone and iPads is immediately synchronized to the cloud. No hassle and fuss with cables and connectors and adapters to process any future archiving, it’s done automatically.
