I think your criticism is perfectly valid and Matt D’Avella would probably say that the goal isn’t owning nothing, rather it’s being intentional about what you own. If something adds true value to your life, then you shouldn’t get rid of it just for the sake of owning less.
ok. Enjoyed the discussion. This sounded more like a personal issue. Minimalism or maximalism extremes smell like an OCD or some other problem. That’s not a judgement. It’s probably the case. If you are not organized you can be min or max and it does not matter. This is all personal. I am always reminded that just in the case of how some of the best podcasts were started due to someone trying to fix themselves it can also help people that listen. That all being said it’s a good discussion.
Not just him, every healthy minimalist/essentialist
I became a minimalist after a break up and moving a 2 bedroom apartment to a room I was renting. After a year I moved into a studio. February I'm packing everything I own into a bike trailer for a tour. It's not for everyone but for me I'd rather be a suitcase away from gone.
there is a part of me that did not want to comment on this because in reading most of the comments as is the case with most things now a days everyone pretty much follows someone and the “bubble effect” is in full bloom. To my understanding the way this is presented has nothing or little to do with the true meaning of minimalism. Someone on here said they thought minimalism regresses creativity? How? The idea of minimalism is not only about stuff. It definitely is rooted in that and in no way am I going to tell anyone what to buy or keep, ect. You can do whatever you want. I enjoyed the premise of this video as a way to have a discussion. It just feels like what the word really means or how you live it was kinda lost. That’s it.
@@roguewavecreative I agree with that, I think minimalism was initially just an attitude towards a change that some people felt they wanted to make which leaves their lives less cluttered. To me that definition absolutely makes sense, but from the outside it looks like it slowly morphed into almost a contest. I'm generally for consolidation of functionality in tech, for instance why own both a desktop and a laptop when you're not moving around. But Sara's point and I think what your citations point is regarding creativity - I can see how someone who is in a race to get rid of all their things could unknowingly end up being limited by lack of proper tools that they may not even realize they can utilize.
@@runesbroken I could not agree with you more I think the issue is is that her not an issue but an overall feel is you have to think about it responsibly and I get with Sarah saying but to be honest with you in the same vein I guess is the right word or the same thought I’m not singling out her I’m thinking more friends of mine they also have so much crap that I’ll guarantee you they hardly ever use it again like I think I mentioned earlier who am I to tell them what to do I could care less I mean the whole thing I think with tech and I think the pandemic really bored this out is that people were so bored or antsy I guess bored I don’t know I think they probably bought a lot of stuff that they didn’t need but again I feel weird saying it as I am not going to tell someone how to live. I really think this thing also with a lot of what she said and also when you look at her space I mean let’s be honest Amy situation is almost like I would say a 1% or and again I don’t mean that in a bad way it’s just that I think most people look at that and sometimes try to emulate it when they don’t have the financial means but again it is not for me to tell people what to do I mean I like having less because it actually opens up my mind more versus the other way around where when I get cluttery I get paralyzed but again that’s me
@@roguewavecreative True, I agree that it comes down to trying to un-clutter the mind as the end goal
Nice man. Same reasoning for me. I've lived in 3 apartments over the last 5 years. Being able to pack up everything I own in half a day makes moving so much easier and I'm not exactly ready to settle down in any one location yet.
Resonate so much with this. I've had people tell me personally I'm "a bit of a minimalist" after seeing my living space, but my hobbies and work...oh yeah, so far from minimalism. I prefer: "what is simple?" "what is necessary?" and finally, "what do I want?" Sometimes, those questions make you realize "yeah, I would like a little more." 😀
Yes. I’m a minimalist in the things I don’t care about…I devote time/money/energy to my passions though for sure
I’m glad someone said it. Minimalistic ideas are great but I like things, and tech, and toys. I think it’s more about keeping things organized rather then getting rid of everything. Also know what you actually need and can hold onto. Thanks for the video. 😊
Minalisme is if you don't want to clean or rent...or have problems in life. You not gonna spend endless in a hole for nothing if there stays nothing of it left bassicly.....or if you hate were you life ,same as you search Single mens houses you only see a couch and a tv, they can only sleep eat and work, and or otherwise spend time outside.....
I suppose it's "much ado about nothing;" waves come; they're maximal; waves go out; they're minimum; a hurricane brews, and they're overbearing. so I think it's about breath. my sister, who's a minimalist, ultimate bought a house and gardens; who's to say what minimalism or maximalism is? tiny houses are about affordability, as much as anything else. with the prices for traveling going up, I find myself breathing with my family; we're finding better value closer to home. perhaps the waves will come in and we'll go to Europe, or someplace like that.
@@mn1233 if you need to be able to escape tomorrow you want no stuff, If you have a heavy table , while you don't have people to carry the table then you have a problem, my minlism is pure that i can even still have something except for clothes and a watch(smart) and phone and laptop, i have a laundry machine and a tv tho.....But it's to""" favella """"too invest bassicly in.
In a normal house i would buy trees or something of course! Or like palm trees in small and let mature make it big or a Duck shaped tree
@@juriaanoussoren some people want to leave no trace for the next generation too; others buy a huge house so their extended family can live there in a minimal footprint.
@@mn1233 hood point, my child lives in Brazil so my money all 100% goes there
Do i rather have nothing so he can have everything there or have everything there so he can take it over once I'm I'm dead
It's all for the little guy
I can still only drink bassicly for him or something
Everything is in moderation. I approach this by defining genres/fields of 'stuff' that 'sparks joy'. Adding more shouldn't be viewed negatively. Focus on what you love, and what you don't, only have what you need.
Your Husky is making me rethink everything I have ever used to organize camera gear. I LOVE IT
I was temporarily minimalist due to not having money to move all my stuff across the country. It wasn't a lifestyle I could manage long if i wanted to and I ended up re-purchasing things over the course of a year. One thing this video made me realize was that BEFORE I left NYC, I used to hoard every laptop I've ever owned that never broke down, but at the same time, were too obsolete to use anymore. I think I'm kinda glad I parted with them because i was able to make space for my first ever macbook/art tablet setup, but I do kinda miss looking nostalgically at my stack of 2000s netbook-era computers!
Love the office setup!
The key is buying things of value and figuring out where you want to spend your time. I built myself a full size claw machine in the middle of 2020 because that's what you do in lockdown, but have since realized I don't want to build things with wood. So I've unloaded all my tools except for basic things like power drills and screwdrivers, etc. for basic handyman needs.
In 2016 or so I really got into designing circuit boards and building things with Arduinos. I've now unloaded a lot of those things because I reduced my project to something much simpler that doesn't require hot things or sharp things or custom parts.
The things I buy a lot of have value. I have so much Disney art, I've now bought gallery hanging systems to display it.
Still got the claw machine?
@@TheTimeRunners yep. Total cost was about $1000. I need to get better stuff in it though. Oriental express is okay for bulk items. If you look on the tags from items you get from arcade claw machines you find the distributor often doesn't sell to individuals.
This resonates so much. I still rememeber back in 2020 (when you were supposed to be at home...) the only videos that trended in the productivity category was either directly/indirectly related to the minimalism guide to workspace, study table, bedroom etc. Even brand logos were mindlessly reduced down to a minimalist approach, which tbh made me a bit uncomfortable after this. The minimalism movememnt definitely helped me with life improvment in genenral, but at some point it started to give me OCD.
I definitely like a balance between both lifestyles. I definitely use everything I have.
Some people do take minimalism to such an extreme that they basically live like a homeless person or like they never evolved from college dorm life. I don't like clutter but I like having everything I use and need in it's place plus I love having my home nicely decorated.
I completely get where you are with tech gear. I still hold onto my old film cameras and old phones. I could easily live without the old phones.
At 60 I am a total Maximalist and always have been. Maybe I'm a bit OCD but I have 2 of everything tech wise you just never know when you might need something. My Wife keeps telling me to get rid of stuff but I hold on to things anyway. But that's me. Congrats on your impending wedding day, I truly hope it's everything you and Jon hoped for as you start life as Man and Wife.I still remember our wedding day like it was yesterday and it was 40 years ago January 1st it was a sunny 70 degree day and we're still in love and enjoying every moment of life!

I went through a similar experience several months ago, and while I did manage to sell off a lot of unnecessary computer gear I went overboard with my primary computer. NEVER downsize the primary computer is now my motto, and it was an expensive lesson.
Congratulations Sara & John🎉🎈Wishing you a happy married life🥂
I got introduced to minimalism as a 16-year-old, and I thought it was the answer to all my problems. It kinda became an obsession, and now I know it was just a neologism for organizing everything in your life and keeping it clean. Organization saves a lot of time and I learned a lot of it during my minimal phase, so I guess it just adds another layer of complexity to my personality, which is good. I tell others stories of this phase like an old man tells about how the town used to be.
My late mother a depression era child was one who hated knickknacks around the house. Very much a minimalist. Use to always say one more thing to clean.
Might have do do what my late father use to always do when he was done with something. Put everything back in the place you took it from, and clean up.
Sometimes people will create a whole new naming of a thing they are not willing to quite read to understand.
Minimalism is just keeping only essential for your needs. If your needs require 20 cameras, that's still minimalism, if you have a camera that you can't quite explain why it is needed for you, or you have two cameras that do exactly the same thing with not enough alteration for you to justify having it, that's what you should get rid because it is just a unecessary weight to you, if you don't feel so, just keep them.
I have that same issue. I see stuff I don't think I need so I get rid of it and when I do, I end up needing it pretty soon after. Such is life -.-
From Mr. Google Pants: "In terms of lifestyle, a maximalist is often a collector, displaying groups of objects that they may have acquired from travels over time. Rather than embrace the need for simplicity and order, maximalists tend to [This is what you need to do.] find comfort within chaos and excess, finding it both exciting and motivating." But this is probably not responsible maximalism.
Oh I have literal crystallized Pokémon statues on my shelf at home 😂 pointless but I love looking and collecting haha
Minimalist or Maximalist that Huskey tool cart organizer is super sick !
Probably the nerdiest thing I've ever done but I basically went through took inventory of literally everything I own and where it is, then put it all into this massive excel spreadsheet. Now whenever I need something I quickly look it up on the excel spreadsheet and BAM I know exactly where it is.
I like minimalism as explained by The minimalists (how I found it) in terms of being intentional. And as someone who gets stressed out by having too much useless stuff just being everywhere it’s a good thing for me to utilize. But I don’t have nothing and on the design side, I lean more into maximalism design with intentionally bough pieces. It feels more homey have dark colors on walls and things I really like everywhere, but not overcrowding
Great job on the video Sara! Thanks for making it. My biggest problem is that I absolutely love (it's nearly pathological) being the guy that has just the right thing. So it means that I hold onto stuff that has long-since outlived it's usefulness. I recently did a accessories purge, and I finally got rid of a VGA to Component video adapter. Now I'm looking at that new FX30 and wondering what I can get rid of to make cash happen. I would sell my a6400, but at this point it's not going to make me enough money to be worth not having it as a secondary camera, so I'll just keep it. And that's exactly how I end up with so much surplus in my office.
If you sell your A6400, you will have some money to put toward an FX30, you'll have less stuff in your office, and someone else will enjoy the A6400 that you no longer use.
Thank you Sara😊 that was awesome. More please and all the love and blessings and joy and happiness for the two of you and your future.
The Severance idea would've been so cool to see come to fruition! One of my favorite shows of all time for sure. Shame it would've been so expensive!
Might do it when season #2 comes around 🤔
Minimalism to everyone is different. To me it is not to be tied down to stuff. Live like a traveller, as some people say.
You can’t be a minimalist if you and your neighbours hardly talk to one another. If we live in a community, then we can borrow each other’s tools. We don’t have to buy them.
right...
So:
Minimalism = Own things that essentials only and just amount that you needed.
Maximalism = Have everything you need and potentially needed but organize them with storages, more storages to shape your living spaces to be exactly what you needed and comfy for
So What I am? I'm a minimalist in things like clothing, foods, kitchen utensils, sleeping things, etc.
But I am a maximalist in my hobbies like photography, gadgets, audio like mic/speakers/etc, my scooter (my daily transportations) to carry me anywhere between cities or even go into jungle. And yes I do need so much storages lol.
Just realized there's a term of Maximalist.
I totally agree. I’m a middle of the road person but with an emphasis on less. I know the areas I can keep excess, and the areas I don’t. It really depends on how things look in your life. Not what is presented to be trendy. Overall good thoughts on the topic
Congratulations! Good luck to both of you!
The beginning of this video has such a good flow and vibe.
I LOVE this title! I am a maximalist, for sure. I have stuff that I love and memories from travel. What’s wrong with that?! NOTHING. PS, congratulations on your upcoming wedding!! 💒
Some might say you’re a hedonist and you had a lifestyle tied to a huge carbon footprint that suffocated the next generation.
very keen observations...I agree. I have also known people that sell things they dont need only to have seller's remorse. I'd rather aquire tools and keep them, and as we get older we need to develop organizing skills
Give everything a home
NICEE DTF printer! good luck! I have one as well! just make sure you run it everyday! what I do is print out shirt size tags to put on the merch. and a few tester pages if I have nothing que'd up! GOOD LUCK!!!!
Im not gonna lie you have some of the best lighting/colour grading skills of anybody on youtube
Congratulations Sara!
Congratulations, so you're going tie the knot, many heartbreak is on the cards, but hey, I'm super excited to have some glimpses of your happiest moments in photographs and videos!! Keep the upsurge with the earnest it started!!
Totally agree, 3 years ago I was a minimalist, wanted just to travel the world with my backpack and today I see I bought so many stuff necessary to make art
I still like to maximize minimalism. Ive soldados 4 cameras an still need to sell 2...
I really think that reasonable maximalism like you presented it here and healty minimalism are not that different.
The main point is being intentional on what you have, and getting rid of thing that you actually never use (distinct from you use less often) and thing that have no value (sentimental value or value on the things you do).
Glad you are experimenting, hope that you end happy with the results c:
Ohh and being organized enough you dont loose your own stuff
Center Cam has so much potential! Love it.
I'm a maximalist as well, in a minimal way. I buy everything I know I'll absolutely need, and arrange it in a minimal way. Imagine a Japanese woodworker or samurai sword makers work shop. Full of detail and tools, but simplified and refined. That's my current youtube setup. I made videos about my maximalist space as well.
What I know about maximalism: That one documentary about a suburban family with too much stuff and renting two storage lockers. That one Instagram photo about a overdecorated room
Congratulations Sara & John🎉🎊🍾 Happy new life 💕
Minimalism isn’t dead, it’s cyclical, it’s just gotten bigger than expected.
I'm a collector and have procured various things over the decades, be it tech or gizmos or action figures or miniatures or just gifts and memorabilia from places I have visited. I had all this stuff stored in boxes for several years but now I have a large enough space with enough shelves to have it all displayed. To others it sometimes means nothing or messy or pointless but to me each piece tells a story. Its like a scrapbook of my life but with actual things instead of words. Like having a shelf just for all the phones I've owned. When I look at them individually they take me back to the memories of that time. I think Minimalism is learning and adapting to live with the least amount of things possible whereas Maximalism is having everything you need and learning to organise it efficiently and creatively.
It looks like a lot of people never understood what minimalism really is. It never meant getting rid of everything. It means not buying or owning something unless you need it or it makes your life better. There were far too many videos on TH-cam produced by people who did not understand the concept.
Example: Minimalism says that if you have a closet full of clothes you have not worn in years and have no intention of wearing again, you don't need them. So get rid of them by passing them on to someone who will enjoy them. It does not mean getting rid of everything except black t-shirts and a couple pairs of jeans.
Very well said. Being judicious and intentional with your surroundings is key. I love my hobbies so living in a van wouldn't work for me.
"A place for everything and everything in its place."
Always like a good Dietschy deep dive into topics like these
I agree with what you're saying about minimalism being like a religion, and the irony of getting rid of something, only to buy it again in the future... there's also a huge market around minimalist products! But, maximalism probably isn't the answer either, it's not like we need an excuse to be any more consumery than we already are (myself included) for obvious reasons. What about a middle ground where we just take a little more consideration before buying things (do we really need it/want it). Also we can be more aware of where we are buying certain things from as well as getting some things on the used market, more local shiz, etc.
Which affordable lens do you recommend for making indoor TH-cam videos ?
what have said is maximalism is minimalism, is to have what you think fulfill your needs
I’m only a minimalist when it comes to clothing and cars. When it comes to tech, food and travel…GIVE ME ALL THE THINGS!
loving the mac classic in the backgroound
I also did the buying and selling and buying the same thing again, and selling again. I it has been so costly :( I will still be minimalist, but not in an extreme way anymore.
Minimalism feels soulless to me, how the subtleties around us are replaced with boxy, simplistic, robotic designs. Maximalism is also super chaotic. That being said, my room started with minimalism and transformed into maximalism. Entropy FTW xD
Grats on the wedding Peachy!
🙏⛑️💜🇵🇭🍻
That ending is exciting. You know how The Rock says "Finally, the Rock has come back to [Insert city here]!!!!!!" I feel like, "Finally, Sara and John are getting marrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeddddd!!!!!"
You need some kaizen foam. It would make the huskey amazing
So. It sounds like your saying, I'm not quite happy with the way things are. I want to improve things.
If it's a fad you're doing to fit in you will regret it. I've cut back quite a bit in the kitchen and I cook and bake so much more now. Cleaning is easier and enjoyable where I've cut back too. ❤ It's a matter of values. For me it works great from a Christian and pretty cottage loving perspective but if the life you want doesn't match it then it will be a problem.
Minimalism in my opinion does not apply to certain things like cameras, lenses, camera bags and accessories. But I seriously need to spring clean the rest.
better keep some clothes! I am happy to take over any extra cameras etc.... i should show this video to my wife. i don't have this much tech and gadgets........
Congrats to my favorite TH-cam power couple on sharing an office!!! and getting Married 🎊🍰🥂
I thought I was minimalist, turns out I’m just poor :) Watching someone organizing of that much of “essential” stuff makes you realize just how huge divide there is in the world between US and almost anywhere else.
I just can't do stuff. The more I have in my phone, around my house, makes my brain just feel so chaotic and exhausted and takes away from simpler things or just more individual things. I'm a quality over quantity guy, and even then i'd rather just put all my love and energy into less stuff than a little love and energy spread far across tons of stuff. I'm only one man, only have one life, as I got older I realized damn...there just isn't enough time in ones life to spread it so thin:( Also just better for the world/environment/etc but that's a much broader explanation lol.
But do your thing Sara everyones different, don't waste time being a minimalist/essentialist if you love ya stuffs. Don't go overboard tho I have some hoarder friends and I can barely walk thru there house...there are only small pathways that allow for movement lol
When the US economy fully breaks, you'll be fortunate to get food, much less anything else. It's time to prepare for the coming economic crash and hope that you will be able to make it through it.
id like the black magic 4k , that would be so dope to own a camera my favorite female TH-camr had ! like dream come true! Cause you rock girl and I learn so much from you. I hope to be half the creator you are!
I do have money lol IM not asking it for free, but would pay for it . thank you again for what you do!!!
P.S. how did you like that Texas heat this summer, and also you should check out corpitcristy Texas? they say its beautiful!
there is a very fine line between maximalism and being a hoarder
It's about functionality more than anything else. I want to get into beekeeping next year so am I suppose to limit the hives to 500 bees a piece or what will upset Matt and them? Pfftt some things you can't minimize because it's all about utility and function. If those dudes were true minimalists they'd be monks.
i feel like i have always been a maximalist. Since i was a kid, everytime i got a new lego set, i would always keep the box, every receipt i got, i would always keep it, anything that i didn't need, i would ask for and always tell myself "maybe ill need it someday". Today, I live in a room where I cannot even walk.
Dude, that's not maximalism. That's hoarding
@@omarashraf27oh, i mean, i just could relate to the video, that's it lol
PSA Organizing doesn't mean minimalist. It just means things are in an easy to reach space and structured in a way that you can get to anything you want easily. Idk where this give away your life you will feel happier with just a phone, a bed and a plant came from.
Disorganization is not hoarding and organization doesn't have to look attractive.
At the 2:00 minute mark, Sara's comments about people selling (getting rid of) things to just turn around and buy it again, then get rid of it again, only to then buy it again - If that's how you're doing 'minimalism', then you didn't research it properly are totally 'doing-minimalism-wrong'.
Oh my God, those equipment is just too much! Good luck with optimising everything as you want to !
The art of not subscribing to either and just living ethically and sustainably
Wow! Dreaming work place! I am not really minimalist and love the cameras and tech in general but no money 🤣.
Nice video thank you from a French creator from Japan!!
Minimalism doesn't mean having least stuff. It means having least unnecessary stuff. Especially useful for people whose mind is too disconnected, or too active. It is said that your thoughts come from your surroundings. It has been seen that minimalism had a greater calmness for someone. It works great for people who tend to forget stuff, and for lazy ppl. Less shit to worry about. And it is essential for people with a budget. One needn't sell or throw existing stuffs, just stop purchasing unnecessary things for a start.
Maximalism is not for people who check prices before purchasing things. Especially not for people who are lazy. It is for people who love to arrange stuff regularly. Keeping lots of stuff and not maintaining is nothing more than idiocy, carelessness.
funny that you made this video, as ive been maximalising more lately now ive moved to a bigger place too! you convinced me, im gonna double down! more organisation, different areas for the things i love (i am building a studio, study, living room, and meditation area) and just making this space into a place i love to be.
Please make the severance video 😊😊
In my opinion all you need these days is: good cell, portable tripod, portable led light, portable battery for your cell a wired or wireless mic, a small and easy gimball like a Snoopa Atom, a cell cage, a small bag to pack this all and a laptop. You can create awesome videos with just these minimalist items! Less is MORE!
Can’t wait for wedding updates. 💕💕💕💕💕💕
So is it better to minimize maximalism, or to maximize minimalism?
THIS is the question.
very sane approach!
Whatever this is what I am doing lets call it qualityism because I don’t think it’s about quantity but quality. you can own only 100 things yet they can all be annoying compromises
Minimalism - life-restricting lack of things.
Maximalism - typical common sense every day life activity.
Hoarding - when maximalism goes too far, it becomes hoarding.
One thing you should never let go of: a good lint roller :p
Am jealous...I have been trying to save to get myself a blackmagic 6k pro ...hope this Christmas i can get one for myself
Hmmm, our church could use a couple of those black magic cams. It would fit into our BM ecosystem. We record and sometime stream our Chruch service. We are an NPO. Think tax deductible donation?
If you had to sell, what kind of price are you thinking? I'm down in Waco.
Btw, looking pretty well organized with that Husky. congrats.
As a tech junky it's hard to be minimalist
I remember wanting to clear up my space and googled how to downsize and Rachel Aust's book helped so much then I saw Matt's documentary and I loved everything about minimalism. But then the internet created this high standard to be considered a minimalist and I fell off
Minimalism is not dead. The consume less part of it is desperately needed if you want your children's children still have an earth left to walk and live on. I case you missed it. About 6 weeks a go we passed the early budget of all the things, resources we use from the earth and have available every year. The remaining part of the year we live in debt making it worse for the future. And that dept is a dept that comes with an high interest. Loan shark level interest.
Lol. “The Center Cam quality is the BAAYYEST”
The big question - will it be maintained??? 🤔
I like how Sara keeps on evolving.
the most difficult thing is to maintain order after 2 weeks. greatings from germany.
yay! another video from sarah not about phones! love it
Minimalism is a repsonse to the sad economic situations we have to endure. Minimalism is actually unnatural.
I feel like most people confuse digital minimalism with minimalism in general(or analog minimalism you may call it). So buying the latest MacBook isn’t digitally minimalistic, it’s physically minimalistic. You’ve got this powerful CPU that can run a lot of apps at once which is not digitally minimalistic. I have 2 old laptops (Core 2 Duo, Core i5 2gen)running Linux, one is for school work and one is programming and it’s digitally minimalistic , cuz they have only few specific purposes and thus,there are less distractions.
It’s kind of minimalistic digitally and maximalistic physically but both are pure, meaning they don’t have parts of each other in them(they are truly separated)
Oh wow big brain thoughts right here 🙏🏻✍️
@@saradietschy yeah, you just buy stuff that has only a few purposes to sort of isolate yourself from the noisy world. There’s one guy who does the same thing, a TH-camr named James Scholz, his videos are like literally vibes from 90s
Best of everything one needs.
Hearty Wishes for your wedding 🙏🕊 & a nice video :)
Really enjoyed your video
I must ask, how is being a responsible maximalist having that many phones… 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
