4 Ways to Start Decluttering | Minimalism

#minimalism

Today I go over a few things that helped me when I first started decluttering.

Hey everyone. My name is Nicholas and I make videos most about my experiences with minimalism, frugal living, tech, and things of that nature 🌱. I like to make content that feels like you're having a coffee with a friend ☕. So if that sounds good to you consider subscribing and I'll see you in the next one ✏️.

I’ve found “The hanger method” to be a great way to declutter a wardrobe with the “1 year rule” so you hang your clothes the opposite way to how you normally would, let’s say hook facing you, that way when you wear something and put it back the hanger hook is facing away from you, at the end of the year all hangers that have the hooks pointing to you you didn’t wear that year, so they go, I’ve found that super useful

I think your "what's in the way to getting what I want/need" is a really good decluttering point. Thanks!

My favourite part about your videos, is the vibe matches the point ✨️ not overwhelming/overstimulating information in the way of what you were seeking, calm and informative 👍

I received a nice platter for my bridal shower - FORTY-TWO years ago! I've used it (a few times) in 42 years. I don't know that it's ever been a part of my decor per se. But I've hung onto it (it's a super cute platter - even 42 years later!) But was it really serving me? So today, it was off to the Goodwill! I was decluttering "23 things before 2023" Which ended up being 2 large black trash bags and a BIG box! I have another black trash bag worth of stuff in a pile in my bedroom to go! It's amazing what keeps creeping back into our space!

A place for everything and everything in its place! Yes! This practice also saves time ‘searching’ for items.

Giving things a home is really a great and underrated tip. I used to do the moving things around but keeping it thing.
Deffo keep going at it a bit of a time instead of rushing when you start too.
Great video again buddy!

def agree with being able to simply buy stuff again if you let it go.

[YMO]

I whole heartedly agree with the last point you made. I find that minimalism can become very complex, so it helps to revisit those basic ideas. Your video on digital minimalism helped me realise that I got rid of my physical clutter, just to keep a ton of it on my devices. Very solid video man!

Another great video, Nick. I wish there was a video like this when I first started my journey; I'm glad it's here for other people, though.

Nice one, thanks for the reminder to keep on top of this stuff. Nice to step back and reset.

Just what I needed now that the new year is around the corner. Thanks!!

I strongly agree about the 1 year, it goes rule. I move stuff to other locations when I’m on the fence about them to see if I can go on without them. That would eventually lead to a year without it.

Love watching these videos while I declutter. 😁

Refreshing comments as usual, Nicholas! Hope the bad weather isn't affecting life too much for you at the moment. Have a great new year!

As being a girl hard to be a minimalist but i try my best not to buy too much stuff and donating things which I don't use :)

[dukeharris]

Awesome Awesome video I have been wanting and needing to declutter as well. Please can you make some more videos on this topic. I want to get started and can use all the help and suggestions. Thank you again

I’d love to see a “What’s on my iPhone?” video from you

I love your channel. I would like to know what do you watch for entertainment on Youtube, and how do you control you screen time on social medias. Watching you from Brazil!
