7 Weird Things I Do As A Minimalist

😊 Check out these if you want to learn more:

I’ve been a minimalist for years, and over time, I’ve discovered that my lifestyle includes some unique things that might seem unconventional to others.

While these habits or practices very much align with my minimalist values, they might appear strange especially for non-minimalists but I think some of these can still be weird even if you are a minimalist yourself. Enjoy! 🌿

What’s one unusual habit you have that helps you stay organized or simplify your life? 😄

[elmyrvl]

I can relate with the #7. Cleaning extremely relaxing that sometimes i think i’m becoming a clean freak. 😂 thanks for the insight Seve!

I so love your honesty! I don't think anything about you is weird but rather wondrous! 🙂 I love that you can go to the store every couple of days instead of doing a big grocery haul. I appreciate your reminder that just because it's free, doesn't mean we need to bring it home!! Everything has a cost! Waiting in line forever for something free? Time is money! Thanks for sharing your honest OOPS in bringing home the free cap! ha. You're human, and you prove that minimalism is an ongoing practice! I just started two months ago and am currently doing a no-spend August with my husband. I want to build the habit of really evaluating every single item I bring into my home. I am an AVID Amazon shopper, so this will definitely be a challenging process for me. You've been incredibly helpful to me on this new journey of mine!

I completely relate in re-evaluating every piece of clothing each time. I didn't think anyone else did this, so it's nice to know someone knows the feeling!

It's so true, I get hooked on shows and videogames, sometimes even books so I do these activities when I am sick to fill my time in a pleasurable way. Sadly I get sick oftens or for long periods of time so I catch up on a lot of stuff lol.

[katsfarm]

This is so true. I've started to decline items because I really don't need more stuff.

I loved this video Seve! Your take on avoiding freebies really resonated with me. It's so easy to accumulate clutter just because something is free, but your insight about the hidden cost of storing these items really hit home. It’s a great reminder to be more intentional, even when it comes to “free” stuff. Thanks for sharing these unique habits and helping us all stay focused on what truly adds value to our lives!

Great idea to only buy perishable foods for the next 3 days or so. I'M IN!

Hello from Montreal. We have 3 grocery stores within walking distance. We also have "store cards" that collect points when we shop. As well, weekly, items go on the "points" list. We shop every 5 to 8 days, (that's what my granny cart will hold). So, we get food on offer, and the points to go with it, and when we reach certain thresholds, we then get a lump sum off of our final grocery bill at check out. A very useful tool not to buy needless crap. We only buy what we eat on a weekly basis.

I did a clothes sweep a few days ago, and got rid of the final push "stuff." At bedtime, I always clean my surfaces, sweep the great room/kitchen, and tidy up before I go to bed. We don't do tv here either. I don't bother with episodic tv nor Netflix. I am content with YT and a pod cast before bed. I don't have any social media, on my desktop nor my phone.
I do the mindful slow walking to and from the store and through the park near home when I am out.


We will soon enter the "Closet Swap" period when the summer clothes go into storage and our fall wardrobe gets hung out. My clothes choices are always suited for layering. I don't buy seasonal clothes, if they cannot be used across the year. I have my base layers, my long sleeve shirts, and pants/sweats, than can be layered over a base layer in the winter. Minus (-20c) is very cold without layered clothing for sure.

Amen on the TV point, thought I was a weirdo for not doing that.

10:30 same with cleaning and tidying. It really is meditative. I sometimes take all the clothes out of my dresser and closet and put it back just to relax

[sbyco]

I really relate to your short walks! I do this as well. I have some nice woodland near to me. I'm usually the only one not walking a dog.

[DiegoPuig-nhbp]

4:02 i can’t do the groceries the same as you. The grocery store is not close by and my wife and i love to meal prep so we actually have lots of stuff in the freezer but we have an inventory we keep diligently so nothing gets wasted.

Thank You Seve for giving me a refreshed perspective of walking for air. For example, a 5-minute stroll or 10-minute stroll. Just lingering, slow, truly stress less linger. Being American, I got fed up with obsession's with performance, most speed, most distance, most no pain no gain! Faster, Longer, nonsense. 5 minutes of quiet, relaxing, "non-expectation" moments to, as you say, to reset, rejuvenate, relax and relish the moment. 😀

I do the same things except I’m not able to walk to any stores living in the woods ( too many bears ) 😁 I have to drive to places I need to go but it has helped that I have cut my spending.

[natashadenness]

Loved this video - I do most of these things! 👌🏻

[elespiritudelradium]

I think that hat is very cool. I'd kept with me. 1:42 😅

[Geemeel]

Great vid, very well presented, def. sub here. Great tips 👏🏾

[alanbirkner]

I'm 74, I have very few clothes. I get most free or second-hand. Every few years, I buy a pair of shoes or nice slacks. I volunteer at 3 places where I get tee shirts.
3 of us live in a 2BR apartment near Chicago. When we travel, we use carry-on only. Dressy tops and sweaters last years. Off-season clothes are stored in our suitcases. No pop or alcohol. Tina, Al's wife

I like that thumbnail implying that you have no actual food😅
I know that is a truth for many people but it still made me laugh 😂
