1. Flat surfaces (tables, top of the fridge, etc.): stuff/paper clutters on it. Solution: Eliminate flat surfaces and pick up after yourself. 2. No systems for doing things/no places to put things (example: your keys, wallet.) Solution: Designate a place/"home" for everything to go. Things get less dirty (messy?) by having a place for everything! 3. Messy digital storage. It's like having a messy closet; you can't find anything. Search online for how other people organize their digital problem areas and use their system; it will save you a lot of time. Gabe's video on this will be tagged at the end of this video. 4. Not embracing minimalism soon enough. Thinking it's weird or whatever. Just jump in and it will be done and you will notice/reap the benefits right away! Not sure what tips 5 & 6 are? Good video though!
I got rid of the coffee pot and purchased a small coffee press and tea kettle. The counter is clutter free and the tea kettle sits on the stove and is used all the time. There truly are ways to minimize stuff. I clean and organize homes and that is when I became a minimalist. There is too much going on in the world without having to worry about where things are in my home.
I'm with you, Gabe. Nothing had a place, till now. It still is a work in progress, but feels so good when I know where something goes, and where it is when I need it. This process had continued to keep me donating stuff. Thanks for talking about what's going on with you.
I’ve been a subscriber for quite some time. Your quirky approach/personality/being real is so much fun. Your content is relevant. Thank you for being you. I’m in Portland, Oregon.
Having a designated landing place for the things you carry every day is so important! You get so much time back in your life instead of searching for things!
Yes! Agh, as a messy person, I also struggle with flat surfaces. They either need to have *nothing* on top of them or not exist. 😆 if there is a piece of decor or something on top of them, I will inevitably pile other things on top. 🙄
Thank you for your awesome videos! I love that you have other videos going on while your talking, it gets so boring when people just video themselves talking the whole time. I also love that you have the same issues as me and make everything really relatable. Thank you for showing your catch-all room, I have one too and while it doesn’t have wall to wall furniture anymore, it still gets the stuff I don’t know where to put. It’s getting better though, lol! I’m so glad I found your channel, you do a really great job.
Hi ,I've just recently been watching your videos. And haven't stopped.ive just downsized from a three bedroom housing corp to a one bedroom so struggles is real😱loving the minimalist so I'm applying that too.its a lot easy that I live alone thanks for sharing your inspiring videos cheers Lia from new Zealand ...
I seem to have had similar issues, only just getting onto it. Keys, digital and flat surfaces do collect things unless you are on to it. I also seem to be collecting stuff at the moment for gift giving and making at the moment but haven’t taken the time to find a place for it while I am doing it..... I am noticing the clutter. Want it clear again!
File system for video creation: In any hard drive that you want, create a root folder (it’s like entering into your house). Then create different rooms in that house for different needs, and inside of each room, you can add additional locations like dressers. Imagine you have inside of that room a place for your t-shirts, pants, jackets, underwear, etc. Example: Root folder: “Creative life.” House rooms: TH-cam, clients, papers, etc Now, in that dresser “TH-cam,” you will create a folder or space for each video. Before the name of the video, you can add the date, first, year, then the month, and then a descriptive name for the video “20-11 First year of minimalism,” inside of that folder, you can create a few more folders like “videos,” “audio,” “images” (inside of images you can add the thumbnail), extras. So if you want to find this video's thumbnail in a few months, you would go to Creative life > TH-cam > 20-11 First year of minimalism > images> and look for the thumbnail. I have created a lot of content, and I have tried soooo many different systems, for me, this is the best one. Don’t use dates or tag names. Just use short and really descriptive words. For example, if you go to my computer and I ask you to find a photo of me in the Eiffel Tower, without me saying anything, you could find it. The location is root> photos> travel> Europe>France>Paris, and then you look for the picture. I always imagine my folder structure like places in my house. If you want a fork, you go to the kitchen. 😉 Thinking like this, you can also create assets that you can share with other projects. For example, in the root> TH-cam, you can have one folder named videos (inside of this one you create a folder per video), audio, images, etc., or just assets, this ones you will be sharing them with all your video projects. Your background music, sound effects, motion graphics, model releases, receipts, references, etc., go there, and you don’t need to duplicate files. I hope this helps and I really enjoy your content. Wishing you the best of success in your adventures 🤗
Greetings from 2022. Thank you for this video. Your sense of humour about this topic is inspiring, as is your practical advice. Last month I turned 50 and my greatest achievements to my mind was 1. to hang a hook on my door for my keys; 2. to always put my glasses in their case next to my bed (avoids confusion when I wake up in the middle of the night and urgently need to see what is going on); 3. to have a hook for my hairbrush in the bathroom and 4. to make sure I never run out of toilet paper 😄 I hear you about those stupid flat surfaces. OMW. Thank you too for showing the murder room. It was really encouraging. Sending 💖 from Cape Town.
It is really nice of you to share your "stepping stones per say" to how you got to where you are at as a Minimalist. We all have various ways of approaching and achieving success with Minimalism. I liked using the dynamic approach, but had spent years contemplating my idea of change prior to jumping into it. The "flat surface and clutter stories" you shared are so relatable. Having less surfaces and specific spots to "put everything" like keys makes a world of difference. Speaking about worlds, happy to hear you are getting great results for your "pins on the globe project".......pins will be one purchase made out of necessity .... Lol :-)
Yes. But, honestly, if it weren't for the "stupid flat surfaces" I wouldn't ever even have needed to watch minimalism videos. They are like having a smoke detector.
Hi Gabe I have started to take your advice and started to decluter my house. It is hard but I am getting there. I have put a lot of stuff up on Facebook market place and have made over €100 so far and I am waiting for the lock down to end so I can put a stall in the local flee market. Thanks for the inspiration. Reg Shannon in Dublin Ireland
I did a little decluttering today. I threw away a plastic broken hanger, a piece of packaging to something I brought & broken glass. That's it for today.😊
For filenaming on the computer: "This is my regular file [yyyy mm dd]" where [yyyy mm dd] is the date as year, month, day in digits. This way all of the files in alphabetical order are also in date order with the most recent one at the bottom. Someone told me this in a job in 2001 and I've used it ever since.
The shots of you searching were hilarious. I just leave my key in the apartment door key hole. But in Switzerland it is very safe Every house door key or building key is different. Keys are the flat type. My apartment door has 3 metal and three metal rods that run through the door middle. These go into the floor, door wall sides and A area on top of the door. This key also opens the main door of all apartment buildings.
Some of this is weird because keys go in my purse or a key ring holder but I always have my purse in every room with me. I sold my laptop 2 years ago and use my smartphone for almost everything, I really don't need a laptop or computer for emailing or anything anymore. I mostly but bathroom products that I use or food and then bills for overhead and medical.
That is a great list. For me it was trying to perfect everything where I needed to make sure I've 100% decluttered and organized everything in my house to the point where it would distract me from other important tasks and a much worse distraction compared to Netflix and YouTubw. Hope this could help anyone if they have struggled similarly and have a great night:)
Loved your videos! Learning a lot and i can totally relate with the "flat surfaces".. and im like looking around at the flat surfaces in our house right now and mentally thinking which items i need to throw out after this 🤣🤣 Hi! from Bacolod City, Philippines 🇵🇭
As I am watching this video, I found that I really need to work on my digital filing system on both my laptop and my external drive. Hmmm, next task and adventure..
I’m like a dung bettle, just hauling stuff around.. hahaha , probably more like a messy minimalist, but give me time and I will get there! Kudos to the good bugs!
I need a system for my systems. I have my relational, home & educational stuff. Than my outside stuff. Constant balancing act. Would love to have it all in order all the time but not my reality with life 101
The biggest flat surface I struggle with is the floor. I never understood the key thing, I just leave them in my pants pocket and change the pocket contents in the morning to my new pants; place for everything is key though when it comes to cleaning up. My biggest mistake is not getting of the 'buying something as a replacement for doing something, treadmill.
This is really cool video. Omg the murder room is so random. I definitely don't think I could ever be in a room red like that one. Burbank California dont forget to put a pin on the globe for that one.
I don't have a kitchen table ether my family thinks I am weird. But I have an island that I have stools at and that is we are me and my daughter eat, do craft, home work. I place multiple uses
The worst flat surface is the ground. I can get rid of the tables and cabinets in my room, but then the floor always ends up being where all those things go instead.
I have a dedicated place for keys but my default is to put them in my shoes. I will probably put those shoes on again the next time I go out and in that process I will find my keys. I know. I'm a genius.
I recommend finding reasons for why you want to declutter, here are some of my reasons: • more floor space for exercising • making everything lighter to carry so my next moving experience will be fun rather than stressful • with less stuff it's easier to keep my space clean, I have a bit of a dust allergy so it helps a lot • having a nicer space to look at that feels more like home I have 30 or more reasons but I don't want to ramble lol
Dang, I’m pretty much done with the initial hustling and juggling, got myself to a spot that I can rethink my whole situation, but it hasn’t always been like this, want to invest I. The younger folks, like Gabe and the crowd here so they can get to their goals making less mistakes (at least avoiding the ones I made).
Not everyone can declutter all at once. I’ve got health issues so little and often with a few bursts when I have the energy. My personality is like yours but I’ve had to learn to do less, slow is fast for my situation 😊
I've also got health issues and need to pace myself. Rachel Hoffman's books Unf*ck Your Habitat and Cleaning Sucks are awesome. She writes about how to adapt her approach based on your own unique abilities and challenges.
Just love your videos. I have been decluttering very slowly, because I live with 4 other people, who are the opposite of minimalist))) Please add Azerbaijan to your globe. It is a very small, but wonderful country right on the shore of the Caspian sea.
You should try the app Notion. It's AMAZING. There are a bunch of TH-cam creators that have videos on how they use it for their projects, maybe you could check them out. The first one that comes to mind is Thomas Frank, the guy uses Notion for absolutely EVERYTHING and has a bunch of videos on his channel. Plus, he has a bunch of really cool other videos that you could check out ;) Hope it helps!
Gabe Bult You too?! 😅Funny, my dad is an amateur flipper. He has a rundown one story house to flip near us. It’s designed awkwardly, it debatably has 3-5 bedrooms or multiple living rooms , (it has wall openings instead of doors, so it’s hard to tell). We call it the Rainbow house because it looked like a rainbow exploded inside: as some parts has no floor & each room was a different color (kitchen sky blue, attic room green, and the mystery rooms are yellow). 🤦🏾♀️ Love your channel! I’m a wannabe real estate investor & minimalist myself so your channel helps a lot.

Yes. But, honestly, if it weren't for the "stupid flat surfaces" I wouldn't ever even have needed to watch minimalism videos. They are like having a smoke detector.
The things inside the closet don't bother me much at all. It is the things I see that cause enough stress inside of me to make changes.
I agree! No matter how many times a clean my surfaces and put things away it just builds up again.

This is so me. Before Marie Kondo every drawer was a junk drawer.
my declutter method is periodic and when it happens it is gradual, little by little I get rid of unused stuff.
41k ! You're killing it :)

I’m trying to become minimalist, I get bored part way through and give up, I’m from the U.K.
Take it slow, there’s no right or wrong. It’s about the journey and healthier habits.
I recommend finding reasons for why you want to declutter, here are some of my reasons:
• more floor space for exercising
• making everything lighter to carry so my next moving experience will be fun rather than stressful
• with less stuff it's easier to keep my space clean, I have a bit of a dust allergy so it helps a lot
• having a nicer space to look at that feels more like home
I have 30 or more reasons but I don't want to ramble lol
@@spring7643 for me right not is the whole idea that less stuff = more time, once I get to have more time I will see where I take it next.
@@Channelbxyz I agree. More time to focus on the most important stuff. Upgrading yourself takes a lot of time.

It’s designed awkwardly, it debatably has 3-5 bedrooms or multiple living rooms , (it has wall openings instead of doors, so it’s hard to tell). We call it the Rainbow house because it looked like a rainbow exploded inside: as some parts has no floor & each room was a different color (kitchen sky blue, attic room green, and the mystery rooms are yellow). 🤦🏾♀️
Love your channel! I’m a wannabe real estate investor & minimalist myself so your channel helps a lot.
