Matt D'Avella coffee brand?
Your channel has definitely opened my eyes, Matt! Thank you!
thanks matt.. i am minimalist now for 7 years. i am one of the founder of the group in my place cebu , philippines.
the video quality is brilliant.
Matt D'Avella hi I would love to be a minimalist but I’m a teenager, share a bedroom and my family definitely won’t become minimalists. Any tips to at least make a little change in my life? Thx
Damn right the Rock picture stays.
From the time he started I was just looking at that pic. If he had removed it I would've flipped
Me thinking: "Don't you dare throw away The Rock picture !!! "
Read the comments before it came up in actually thought mountain rocks😂 now i get it yes there would be outrage😂😂😎
I'm a minimalist because I can't afford anything else
lol same
most of your wealth goes to israel and the banks anyways :)
@@naturecollision You have clearly never been in Israel :)
Lol thats how we all start 😂
best comment! epic!
"if you don't create your own definition of success someone else will do it for you"
someone else has been doing it for you from the get-go.
Thats kinda what *the world* is doining now a days
Dude you're on fire lately. Love the work, keep going
But your Work is also amazing

Hi there. Your videos are good too.
Only 80 likes for Nathaniel Drew?!
amazing crossover
The first and only time our nipples have been on camera. Well, first time in a PUBLIC video.
Hawt
Vestigial parts of the body are unnecessary, you should throw them out.
Love your content
bahaha!
Lawrence Hu no
The quality of his content is insane
ikr, he deserves more subs
You’re the first minimalist who has explained it in such a way that it’s made me realise I fill my time with stuff because I find it hard to focus on myself
He said "i had 97 thousand dollars...
...in student loans"
E: no i dodged that bullet and graduated abroad with 50k in savings
"I had a small loan of a million dollars...
... a student loan to be exact"
That is so much money, in France a year in a public uni isn't even 500 euros even when it's a masters, for my first year I paid 170 euros and got my money back because I have a scholarship
@@anadacosta4043 here in Germany it's almost free or completely free depending on the uni
@@anadacosta4043 In France we also earn around two to three times less (adjusting with the social security, maybe 1.5 to 2 times less) than in the US, depending on your degree.
at least he didn't study gender studies or that classic phd in underwater basketweaving. i assume he got a degree that taught him real skills for the real world.
That red balloon in the background is giving me some strong Pennywise vibes. Great video Matt!!
omg i was jsut thinking that
And we never heard from Matt again...
Matt D'Avella Pennywise could probably use some of your minimalism tips tbh. Dude’s been hoarding in the sewers for years 🤦♂️
oh hey, its the goal guys, love your videos too
@@ok.7014 yes, me too
Everyone can have their own definition of minimalism and thats ok!
My definition of minimalism is people who love slicing 5 year old girls' fingers off. Is *that* ok?
@@arsality i thought that was zerowaste! I was always confused because theres *a lot* of waste
i personally define minimalism as owning as much stuff as i possibly can. it's not hoarding though, i define that as owning the least amount of stuff possible, and that's ok! 😂
No it's not. That's a anti-definition.
@Lynda Lynda And you calling me a gamer is based off of what?????? I could say "just another depressed midwife" and it would be just as relevant
All your videos are aesthetically pleasing and peaceful. They are wonderful.
I used to be a hoarder. now I'm a minimalist......I'm so much happier now
Same as me, saved tons of money too.
Do you live alone or with your family?
@@AasthaHingar alone
@@myvenusinuranus I see. Living with family and incorporating minimalism is hard.
@@AasthaHingar You just have to find your own space among your family. A place to keep clutter free allowing you to do what you want there and nothing else.
Love what you said about living based on your OWN definition of success, and not doing things just to impress those around you. Really great video!
You’ll get The Rock on the Ground Up Show, I know it
Thanks brother.
*throws math book out of the window*
4:00 hahaha 😂
Tolis Tsipos Its 3:47😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
to trully be a minn imalist you must throw urself out window
@Dopamiine Perhaps.....
I really cried when he talked about the books. I'm a minimalist at heart but somewhere I always felt guilty with having books and art I love and everyone else marie kondoing them away.
on the flipside, books are nothing but fuel for a fire and a fire hazard if you need to escape your home for some reason. ditto for cleaning up a flood or just cleaning in general. when you have less stuff, you have to clean less stuff. that gives you more free time to spend doing what you love which ironically could be reading those books haha. but you can go digital on an iphone or android and not even need a kindle.
if they have value in your life then keep them! it's not about depriving yourself of things that you love instead it is being mindful and aware of what you chose to purchase and bring into your life. Ofc having a kindle or online books may be less clutter and more sustainable but personally I love how books feel and look
I used the Libby app. Pair it with your library cards. Free ebooks you keep for 21 days at a time.
Books are sacred. They preserve knowledge and create an atmosphere of cozyness and much more...
Been there. Went to the depriving side of things and now I’m realizing it somewhat did create suffering. Now slowly finding the balance for myself to ensure I’m doing minimalism more suited for me.
Sorelle Amore love your vids..
Love your vidsssss, you are awesome
I died when Ryan and Josh had no shirts on hahahaha perfect, just perfect
Without shirt on is one Of the Minimalis😆
Damn, u thirsty!
As a girl with anxiety, your videos have helped me a lot to get through dark nights... I decided that 2019 is going to be my year and I am doing great so far; my room is so damn organized, I get rid of things that does not make me happy and I faced my greatest fear, driving. Thanks a lot, you are helping to change the life of a stranger in other country and who speaks other language. I hope you are aware of the good impact that your videos have in others people lifes. Thanks from Mexico💫💞
Minimalism helped cure my sever depression. I can see clearly now the clutter has gone!
Zoemma me too!!
minimalism: The plain shirt cult
Alex Moore we don’t talk about it
Instead of holy water we drink single origin pour overs.
Awesome video by the way! So cool that you take the time to read and reply to your subscriber's comments. We really appreciate it :)
Hahahaha :D
The Plain Shirt Cult would be a great band name!
Minimalism is something I’ve practiced unintentionally.. but now I will apply myself more to it until I have perfected it.. I’ve learned a lot from this channel thanks Matt!
Thank you!
You used too many characters for that message. You have a lot to learn grasshopper.

I love the lonely red balloon 🎈 in the background 😂
It made me think of IT :)
You'll float too
thank you for putting captions in your videos! this makes your videos accessible for far more people - deaf, hard of hearing and for non-English speaking people/ppl learning English!
Yes!
I’ve been watching a ton of your videos recently. I’ve always respected minimalism, but only very recently have I really started looking into how I can apply minimalism to my own life. Your videos help to make minimalism seem much more approachable!
Gosh this video is so well made.
Thanks Hugo!
He's a film maker and big inspiriration to me

‘If you don’t make decisions about what to keep, by default, we will hold on to everything. ‘
Thank You! 🌸
Stuff and clutter stresses me out. The less things in my house, with minimal visual stimulation, the more relaxed I feel. This has also helped me to be able to afford purchasing beautiful key pieces that I really love rather than surrounding myself with a bunch of cheap stuff. Also, minimalism helps me focus on life rather than stuff!
I like that you swear just once per video :)
Sometimes more. I actually cursed 2 times in this video I think. But I try to make it count.
Minimalism right there...
Keeping it PG-13
@@hawkeye4359 Yeah gotta keep it PG-13 the grown adults that complain like children - Oddly some of the smartest and most successful people curse more than average - so not sure the problem if he wants too
Y'all need to put down the wet towll and just enjoy
@@RockDavid and some people need to learn the difference between a light hearted joke and complaining.... did you see me complaining?
I’m a maximalist, but watching your videos and feeling your beautiful spirit through these videos leads me to embrace minimalism! ❤️
PrettySimpleMusic I think it’s called maximalist
William Christiansen Wennersten thanks!!!
PrettySimpleMusic haha wow
Marxism confirmed
marxism 😂😂
To quote Fight Club: The things you own end up owning you.
We don’t talk about that.
That's so very true. If we are really mindful about the activities we do, we'll realize that most of the time, we are just taking care of the things we own. Cleaning up, dusting, repairing, searching, refilling, packing... Your life is possessed by stuff.
So true.
Very true.
In tyler we trust
“If you don’t create your own definition of success. Someone else will”
Love it! 😍😍😍
I declutter every 3 weeks. I can identify everything I own in my head.
RunningFromAdults wow! My goal right there 👍🏻 (kinda hard with two kids and a husband tho 😅)
Nice. I'm doing this from now on
Varietygirl1 People think decluttering means like getting rid of dresser or something. No literally little stuff that sit around anyway or clothes that never get worn in rotation. They get analyzed, I debate it’s value after 3 weeks and I declutter. Little phone charger cords, phone charger outlets, books ive read through, or thinking you have to keep the coupon paper with the code written on it when you literally just have to take a picture of it and recycle the paper.
JAN KHALABI Who said I’m replacing things. Even if I am, it’s with things I use daily and find value in. It’s not a puzzle you can play with over and over again (also...board games? Ugh throw it out lol no seriously see if you even remember how to play it after you blow the dust off of it) you simply declutter. Even seeing that. Your brain feels like it’s shredding a file of overloaded responsibility to something that has zero value. Here’s a soothing practice to get started. Clean out your wallet/pocketbook. Remove the extra limbs we call “trinkets” from your car keys. Just your hand being able to grasp something that’s been the same for so long and is now different. It just feels good inside. Without sounding too floaty and cliche. It’s just fact.
Sammeee
Wow, this is what I love about this channel. All his videos are so aesthetically pleasing, he is bringing in a new point, he has an amazing point of view\perspective. I love his ideas so much. Keep it up man!❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching, Sapphire. Really appreciate it.
Matt D'Avella of course man, thank you for noticing me!
lovely kid JAPAN ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man... You have so much talent... It's INSANE !!!!
I’ve been watching your videos like crazy lately and damn you’re an amazing person, and very skilled and talented at filmmaking. Every video I watch is so well put together with the transitions, graphic displays, montages, the music, everything, dope.
The framed picture of The Rock haha that kills me
It's my life lol
@@mattdavella It's so random I love it haha also I just checked out your Patreon man! Been loving your videos lately and when I move back home to Canada from Europe and start using dollars again, consider me an official Patron! Can't wait to binge watch everything :)
"The key though is to not take it too far. If you get rid of things you truly enjoy, then you're doing it wrong" - #Truth. It puts things into perspective about what you truly enjoy and what brings joy to your life.
A few months ago, I decided to be a minimalist, there were some downs, but I just saw this video and it's a boost to start all over again. I have around 15 pairs of shoes and material things are just stressing me out. Thank you Matt!
This video just pulled me out of a mid-exam-period anxiety spiral. Thank you. You're both calming and inspirational at the same time. Keep doing good things!
His craftsmanship and effort gets better every video and it shows.
Thanks Matthew.
Josh and Ryan with no shirts on had me dying!! Great content as always brotha. You’re inspiring to a lot of people with the content you create, myself included. Keep up the great work!
First off, this video was shot and edited so beautifully and seamlessly. That alone kept me watching. I appreciate how to the point and intentional you are with your video!
Your approach to minimalism is outright positive. Been exploring how minimalism can work for myself. Great videos. Keep it up. 👍👍
*Minimalism* _is all about subscribing to quality youtubers like _*_Matt D'Avella_*_ and unsubscribing other time-wasting channels_ 😃✌️
That emoji is retarded
@@nicolaisoodoo5248lmao idk why but u made my day
Like T-series
dont sub to pwediepie in anotherwards.
what is your left hand doing on your right arm?
Hey Man. Just a simple and big Thanks, I've watched your videos lately with more interest. You've helped me to think different on my day to day life.
No ads. Great content. What a very amazing person you are. I always watch your videos
I have to say that now you are my favorite youtuber period.
Thanks man!!!
Can you do a video on your feelings when getting rid of your stuff.
I am so happy to have found your channel! The contents are great and the thought, well-composed photography of your videos is amazing. Keep it up man!
This video really has an added value. Thank you for that, Matt. Not just the quality of it and the content, but most importantly the way you are communicating it. Discovered you just a couple days ago but I've already fallen for you enriching content haha. Keep it up! :)
*What do people do with all the extra time they save by writing ‘k’ instead of ‘ok’?*
Shower thoughts 😮

Why say lot word when little word do trick
They probably are minimalists tryna save a letter that’s not needed 🤷♂️
A lot of ink.
Josh, Ryan, and Matt in the same video = Classic
Grateful for your input! Have been working a lot on getting life more simple back at home, Lisbon, Portugal. Wish you all the best. Less is more :::)
Much Love
Matt, I love your videos , this one is pretty one of the best I have seen so far
Me: I'm going to become a minimalist!
*throws out everything except my Dwane the rock johnson picture*
Sofia Velarde hey hey... priorities, man!
You get it.

Awesome video my grandma is a hoarder so I have tried to be more minimalist in my life. I have a passion for technology and photography and the history of it so almost every thing I own is related in some way or another and having someone voice minimalism in this light, bringing it to the public eye Is Awesome keep up the great content
I just finished watching the documentary you directed on Netflix. Great job👍🏾 Afterwards, I literally cleaned out my dresser drawers down to half of what was in there, and will be donating tomorrow. Thank you
Thank you Matt, this video sums it up perfectly. I got into Intentional Living-ism last year before finding your channel however your videos are the ones I show people to explain stuff to. You are definitely one of my favourite creators on RUclips. 👍🏻
I love this. I remember a video by Jenny Mustard, in which she said you're not obligated to get rid of everything you own because you're supposed to keep what brings you joy. And then she explained in which aspects she wouldn't be a minimalist, because she had too many of some objects. I've been trying to declutter for years now and I've made progress, but it definitely is a skill you need to master. Even then, things I love like my art supplies and school books I still keep, because it wouldn't bring me joy to have just one brush or read only from my laptop (also i have a million scarves).
I have a million shoes I can't seem to get rid of. It sparks joy😂😂😂😂
I’ve been slowly trying to become more minimalist- but I also don’t like the word. I think “essentialism” is a much better way to describe it!
Great video Matt.
Hi Matt, your videos are so well made and the message you communicate it`s so clear that now I consider a fan of your work. Kudos man, your videos, the light, the music, everything makes sense. Thanks for sharing your life experiences with us
Matt you are killing it with your awesome videos, man!
Your eyes are the coolest blue ever :o
wow. i wasnt the only one who thinks the same thing.
Colour grading
ran dom its also like that on far away shots
Omg I'm FINALLY early! Love your work, the minimalism documentary was one of the cementors in me becoming a minimalist
Thanks Jasmine!!! You made it :) Thanks for watching.
Loving your videos. Hint to everyone. If you want to be a minimalist do no buy for a year except for absolute essentials. You'll use up what you have and find it easier to get rid of things...
Find the clothes you love put them in a cupboard and try putting on all the other clothes to see if they fit or if they are past their best.. I do this as and when and it helps me find clothes that fit well and makes getting ready a lot faster.
Minimalism can change your life if you let it start by following Marie kondo advice and thinking carefully before buying anything
I want to shape my messy lifestyle into a minimalist.
I always love the idea of minimalism but somehow can't manage to do that, but thanks to your videos I'm motivated more.
Thanks for not throwing away the Rock.
Killer stuff as usual! Totally inspired as I build my channel...
Hey :) I gave you a sub. Hope to see your channel grow
Maxon Mendel thank you!!
Varietygirl1 not specifically, but I do a lot of DIY and how-to’s, and one of my upcoming videos is about keeping it simple and minimal when it comes to renovation.
This is insanely good video!!
Also your videos feel so clean and smooth without the adds! Huge respect. Love your stuff
thankyou, i love you and the minimalists! i got into minimalism through the minimalists, they are the best people to follow and read blogs and their books from :)
1:20 the picture of the rock omg I can't ahaha
Lol.
This was an epic video Matt.. I just watched your documentary on Netflix and will be giving a persuasive speech on minimalism in my public speaking class. Thank you so much for the videos you make and for inspiring me to start including aspects of minimalism in my everyday life.
Found your channel last week and absolutely hooked, great style and approach to your content, funny humour and very similar interests! Much love from Germany
Loving your videos. Super motivated to clear out things.
Thank you for inspiring me Matt! I've donated more than I bought this year. Also be grateful and value every thing I have.
Flawless storytelling skills!
He is gifted with words. "A smooth talker" 😉
I don’t know when was the first time I have watched you, all I know is, your vlogs inspired me to live my life simple. And I am excited for the results. Trying one day at a time. Thank you 😊
Your video just popped up in the playlist when I was watching something else and here I am, practising it little by little. Wow!!!
Love your videos man! Best greetings from germany!
An empty house is my dream! But I still need a closet full of clothes. I get real sweaty so I need multiple backup outfits.

You channel changed my life. 3 months ago I was spending a fortune on clothes that i didn't wear. Now i have a minimalist lifestyle. Cheers Matt.
Hey, Matt hope you read this comment. I would like to thank you for creating these videos, they are cool and gives me the motivation to do my work or what I need to do. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Thanks friend, needed a reminder today :)
Thanks, you're inspiring, Matt.
I'll send this to my friends and family.
Keep it up!
"If you don't create your own definition of success, someone else will do it for you." Honestly, I love this. Only recently I started asking what do I want, and that quote puts my feelings into words.
I will definitely show this one to people asking about minimalism.
Thanks Matt. Found your channel right before my fiancé and I moved a few months back and it was a huge motivator to help us declutter! I'm also taking a social media break. Love your content!
Zach T. Smith social media break? Why are you here then?
Thanks awesome. Thanks for watching man. Best time to declutter is when you move. I always find random things around my apartment that I'd rather toss then bring with me.
@@alinaaziz3521 I didn't specify when this break was starting, I didn't classify which branches of social media I was taking a break from and quite frankly, I can do what I want. Cheers.
Love the colors in this video
Love all your videos! You've inspired me to taking the step to get rid of unnecessary stuff in my basement, and shift focus from gear/stuff/consumption to spending time doing fun things and enjoy life :)
Dude! I’ve seen a handful of your vids and loved your work! Me and the wifey were scrolling through Netflix and saw the minimalist documentary. I saw “directed by” and I was like wait! I know that guy!!
Keep killing it man! LOVE your cinematography!
Had you heard about low time preference and law of marginal utility? They seem like describe the concept of minimalism with accuracy, but 250 years ago. Austrian economists were talking about that repetitively all the time, especially how capitalism, in its natural form, is about savings and intentional decision making, not consumerism, after all capitalism is about capital accumulation, not capital spending.
Definitely headed towards being a minimalist !
I love your videos!!! They are so diverse and inspires thought and personal change. 💜
One more awesome video. Thanks a lot for your work. I just got to your channel and already love it.
Matt is generous, keep minimalism topic up!
lmfaooo “don’t touch that” @1:25
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I love your editing and angles on your videos. So Profesional and well made.
Thank you for your honest words, you are very inspiring and one of the only youtuber who brings really good inputs into my life.
