“not spend hours watching videos about it” 😂😂😂😂 I’ve been doing that for months…in fact…I just found your channel as I have been going thru shit this weekend I haven’t touched in 3 years that built up over the pandemic because I was 2nd guessing my own intuition to get rid of it. I’ve been minimal for years…but recently want to go more extreme. Even though I have way less stuff than anyone I know…it’s still too much. I can feel it draining my energy every time I walk into my apartment 😳🤦‍♀️ NOW I’M READY‼️

[lyssaharsin]

I love the box idea! And am joining your coffee as a food group cult😂😂😂

[kfitz]

As I declutter, not only does the space feel lighter, but my physical body as well. So fascinating. This week I got rid of the dresser in my bedroom. Feels good.

[virginiavilas]

👍👍😊 Ha!! Great video !! Had to laugh as you reminded me of having decluttered a bit TOO MUCH after moving from NYC to Florida. I went back to the Thrift Shop where I’d donated several kitchen items and “bought back” my favorite teapot 🫖!! 😂😂 -V

As an extreme minimalist my favorite quote is: “Setting the mind aside is the ultimate in extreme minimalism”.
So true.

[vicke]

Great advice. Wondering how you determine how much stuff to keep, like clothes. How do you decide how, many clothing items, how many books etc to keep?

[barbarashirland]

All great advice! I want to see whoever uses that cool striped bed behind you. Cat? Dog?

[lynnoorman]

I'm not an extreme minimalist but over the past 9 years ( I moved house 7 years ago) I've been getting rid of 40 years of ' I'll deal with that later syndrome ( whilst quickly filing away the paperwork)! As I get less and less stuff so life is easier to manage. Before I buy something I consider whether I would want to dust, clean, store or use it. One tip for the almost overwhelming job of digital decluttering is to do 1 minute per day. It is amazing how many emails one can delete or file properly ( if they are essential) in one minute. Loving your videos. Very inspiring!

[shinetta]

Aww, you two are so cute together!!! I love all your tips, but #5 is my favorite. I'm ready for a nice reset in my life and your video is very motivational.

[jed]

brilliant video. Great ideas, I'll definitely try the box method x

[AngelaDike-gjip]

Every item I have regretted giving away can be replaced for twenty US dollars or less. Thank you for this wonderful video! ❤

[afroditigreekmom]

I honestly have been enjoying decluttering and living with less. I am having a difficult time getting my spouse on board. I work around him and focus on the children's items, home items, and my own. I have decluttered three times since October. It's amazing how many items we are able to declutter when we revisit things and realize they have no true purpose in our lives anymore. I am now even more mindful of what I bring in, even food so we are not wasteful.

How did I not know about your channel!?! You are, by far, the best thing on the internet. Wonderful message! I’ll be making my way through all your videos ❤🙏. (Hell yeah / No 😂😂 This. Is. Everything!!)

[teresakeith]

This is a very simple approach to what I've been needing in my life! After having alot kids and being known for having anything and everything, I'm more than ready to focus on me and what I need to begin a life with less "noise" and more peace♡ thank you for helping me begin! P.S. I shared this so the people I know can benefit too.

[georginagyuriska]

I am 41 years old I have learned more from minimalism I'm less stressed I don't have to fight with my family over hours of sorting out stuff that's overpriced over cluttered and have free time to enjoy the hobbies and the wife that I want

[lh]

Love you both ❤ the message is so clear and I agree with you completely. Actually very comforting for me to watch you both!

[extrememinimalism]

I find digital clutter to be more overwhelming and time consuming (consumption of it and decluttering it) to be more costly than any other type of clutter. Followed by close relationships where decluttering them is not as clear and the mental clutter of never feeling good enough.

[helenmcpherson]

Great video! Very helpful tips and tricks. I especially liked tip #5, I think I need to work on this 😊
Thanks ladies and enjoy the rest of your day ❤
