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

Teddy Roosevelt's quote that Comparison is a thief to joy is so fitting. I find that not comparing myself and what I have to other people or being concerned with what other people think or say about my choices and life are keys to being comfortable happy and satisfied with me. I do care what respected friends and family think to an extent but strangers, acquaintances and the like I pay zero attention to. It is very freeing once I could do it consistently.

2019-2022 were my years of Minimalism. And then I moved back to my parents home. The stress and anxiety made me need more stuff. And then I started accumulating things I don’t need, duplicating just in case I loose one. Now I’m at a point where I want to go back being a minimalist.

Hopefully by end of 2023, I can finally declutter my home and keep things minimal ✨

Moving stresses me out, so not owning a lot of things makes it much easier. I don’t have seasonal or monthly cleanings, I just keep everything generally decluttered.

Just reading the comments shows me the research on clutter and how it affects us is so spot on.

There are so many takeaways from this video!! Organizing both our physical and digital spaces is essential to living a minimalist lifestyle. I keep in mind that putting something back in its correct space right away when I use it and doing the 5-second rule when I have to do something I often procrastinate. I don't like doing the dishes and other house chores but once I start they are usually completed before I even realize it. Also, creating the burner email is informative for me because hundreds of emails arrive in my email box every single day but most of them are not interesting to me. Your tips will help me to make my space organized and clutter-free. Thank you!

I've just recently discovered your channel (3 days ago), and even though I'm 17 and can't yet apply most of the principles you discuss, I enjoy the calm, clean ambiance your videos foster. Playing your videos in the background helps me feel more at peace and connected to my inner self. Your videos are like a meditative experience. I've found myself more productive and organized. Thank you, Nicholas!

Congratulations on passing 100K subscribers!! Great video as usual. Like you, I can't work if things are cluttered. In the middle of a big all-house declutter right now and am finding so much joy in assigning ownership to things my daughter wants to hang on to, so now they are hers to manage. And spouse is being a really good sport about letting stuff go, which I know he is doing solely for my benefit. Love the "Burner" email idea! Also, like you I am de-committing to many things these days both large and small. Wanting to create a clean slate to open up new opportunities for the future.

All I can say is thank you. Your advice is to the point and very valuable.

I also function better in a clutter-free environment. It makes creativity much easier in a minimalist space. Fantastic video as always! I especially resonated with your point on the 5 second rule. I’ve been implementing a similar principle this year and it has been a big help with daily tasks.

I love your videos Nicholas. It’s not so fancy or anything, I t’s just the information itself. They’re so useful and well thought.

Congrats on 100k, I’ve been here since before 10k. Glad you’re getting the attention you deserve brother.

No joke, was trying to predict what you would say to click the like button and I though "give the like button a ninja kick." Pretty close.

I try very hard not to do chores on the weekend. Chores like laundry, groceries, batch cooking are all during the week. Friday night I reset my apartment after work. I dust, do a bit of batch cooking, dump trash/compost/recycling and vacuum so I am all set for the weekend.

Hey Nicholas! I love the burner email idea, I do it too. I don't like clutter in my main email : )

[anastasiiamatkovska]

Oh my god yes, why am I just finding you now?😂 I did the same thing with my email, we all need more digital organization
