Hey guys we're going international with this video. I've included subtitles for Spanish, German, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, and English. Let me know if this helps and is something you'd like to see more of in the future :)
I love that you have a 5 year old Macbook - that’s what it should be like. none of this “nothing’s wrong with my phone but the new version just came out”
and software. Yeah it's not at all about how to organize and do a file structure and how to keep things clean long term. Actually for me this video was very pointless and didn't help me at all. Way too long and with a lot of useless information. It's more about Matt talking about stuff to remind himself xDD
Great! Portuguese subtitles, now my girlfriend and I can watch together, she doesn't know English and I was responsible to translate everything for her while watching the videos, now I'm free! 😂. Cheers from Brazil!
It would be true flexing if he had a custom beast rig. This guy just got some cheap shit with a hint of “get fucked you mindless consumer” I’m talking about the Mac if your mental ping is too high. Ahh it’s nice being a no life internet asshole. Btw my cat sleeps a lot. But it occasionally barks and lives in a fish tank. Of course then I woke up. And the only thing barking was my alarm clock
I love Matt's humor he always inserts a joke and it comes when you least expect it. Love that the video is so serious and suddenly you find yourself laughing. Well done Matt.
I have been conscious of digital minimalism for a long time, everything digital I have is extremely organised and uniformed. One thing I would recommend to anyone trying to be more conscious of your digital footprint is to make a note with every single website you have an account on, once you have made it go through and delete all the ones you no longer need.
Creepiest comment I will ever write in my life: I never understood ASMR until now. Please whisper all of your minimalism videos from now on thanks dude 10/10 whisperage
You are so right dude, it was so enjoyable, I really don't know why. Maybe Matt has a good voice (physically), which is pleasant to hear when he whispers.
Best thing I ever did was to use my email as a to-do list. I went through every email and if it was actioned I deleted or archived it. Now each day as an email comes in I action it as a to-do and then archive or delete it. Feels great to see my inbox empty.
I've used the GTD method for half a year now an it really helped me being organised like I've never been before (even though I was quite organised before). This method really helps managing tasks better. I agree, managing to-do lists with emails is really useful and clearer. I still use Evernote as well so everything has its own place, I like it that way.
Digital minimalism is something i really need to adapt more, i’m wasting tooo much time on my phone. Much less than before though, as i deleted many apps already! Everyone having this issue should give what matt said a try. i am! Hopefully it makes you and i much more productive!
I suggest you to read "Digital Minimalism" by Cal Newport, it explain well how to make it a suistanable, long term habit. The moment you star using your phone or similar less, you will have more free time, and it is important to have some kinfld of plan for that, otherwise it's easy to fall back in the old mindless consumption habit!
Hello Matt, I'm a fan for like 3 years now, I learnt so much from you so thank you so much ❤ I would like to say that in Islam, minimalism is an essential way to success, in fact, prophet Mohamed PBUH says "The few things that are sufficient and enough are better than what is abundant and distracting". And you were the one who helped me put this say into work. Thank you.
Going through all your devices and sorting everything is quite a tedious process, especially after years of junk stored everywhere. I'd love an update video on the impact this has had on your productivity in a few months!
Yes! And I would add that I ’m particularly interested in how you manage names of the folders and files and how do you look through all these hard drives? Because there could be huge effectiveness or mess! I would love to see what did you find out in this side of minimalistic process.
I'd love to see a video addressing how your minimalist lifestyle (purchases, energy use, produce selection, transportation) contributes to helping the environment. It's clear to me that you are making a positive difference in these areas of your life, I think it'd be awesome to share that with all of your subscribers and make them more aware of that. Thanks!
Hey Matt, awesome video. Here are some tips that have worked for me, and that you and others may consider! 1. Get a GSuite Business account. You get unlimited Google Drive storage for $12/user/mo. Works with your Backup And Sync App (which for me works BETTER than the Drive File Stream App), and allows you to back up all your photos at Full Quality on Google Photos. 2. Disabling all notifications is a big win! Completely agree with you here. 3. FILE NAMING. I recently started using a file naming convention and it is amazing. I know where everything is at all times. This is what works for me: File Type Folder > Application Folder > Year Folder > Project Folder (with MM/DD) Example: Pictures > Photoshop > 2020 > 01-14 Best Cell Phone Plans > bestplans.psd (relevant resources for this PSD file are also here) Example 2: Documents > PDFs > Taxes > 2019 > 1099 - Betterment.PDF 4. For DATA BACKUP: if you opt for the GSuite Business account and use the Backup and Sync app, all folders you select will be kept backed up. If you’d like to use an external hard drive like Matt, PARTITION your hard drive and use TIME MACHINE. Time Machine automatically backs up everything on your Mac, but the backups will expand to FILL THE ENTIRE SPACE OF THE DRIVE. My workaround is to partition your external hard drive so one partition is 110% or so of your actual computer storage. 500GB storage? Then Make a 550GB partition. Use this partition for Time Machine. It will fill it up, and you can use the remaining space on the external hard drive as a normal hard drive. 5. PRODUCTIVITY APPS: Consider Fantastical & Todoist! These apps are phenomenal, well designed, and well built. They support natural language input, can be used completely separately, or integrated beautifully together. Best of luck and stay productive 🙏🏻
SOOOOO glad you covered this. Can't find a whole lot of content on this exact topic especially regarding use of each device and it's plagued me with productivity and financial issues. This helps so much!
I like to keep things simple. Helps to stay focused and really get the most out of your time.Just do this:Set up your real life and digital environment for the purpose you want to use it for.Only use things/apps, that serve this purpose to reduce friction.Always look for those tiny distractions during your working process and get rid of them, so they no longer can distract you. That's it. It is that simple. Just try it out and you'll see the benefits of living you life that way. It is just a matter of awareness of the things you do each day. Which ones will improve your life in the long run and which do not?Greetings from Germany.
Honestly I recently sorted my inboxes out and the relief was like no other! The advice I would give in regards to digital minimalism would be, slowly but surely, find what works for you. Its subjective for everyone I think, but once you figure it out, so helpful!
I really like that Matt asks the question "Is this video worth making". Creating content is all about proving value, and that's something I've been trying to work on recently. I always aim to improve my content and provide value, but watching videos by Matt shows you just how much further you can take it. Thanks for being an inspiration as always!
dev some time ago he was doing some videos like “i stopped drinking coffee for 30 days ” every month. Then He started to receive some feedbacks like “stop doing stuff for 30 days” and that’s it
Muito bom ver que o canal que eu mais gosto começou a colocar legendas em português. Nice to see my favorite TH-cam channel putting some portuguese subtitles. Keep going Matt :)
Awesome video! Quick tip on notifications on your Mac: if you don't ever want to receive notification for any app (like myself), instead of disabling it for every single one, you can go to system preferences -> notification -> do not disturb -> and then enable it automatically. I have it set up to enable automatically from 4:01am until 04:00 the next morning (that's the only way I figured out to always keep it on).
I plan time in my day to work on specific tasks, but almost always end up watching TH-cam. It never feels good after and I always wish I did what I set out to do. Expect for when a video from Matt comes out. Matt always makes things better.
As a professional IT guy, officially a Systems Administrator, I would say I'm very interested in seeing how you plan to set up your server in your new office! Definitely not boring!
Loved this video mate, I have a very similar approach to my digital minimalism. Just a quick note to anybody “backing up” content; it is only a backup if you have two copies. Transferring files to an external drive isn’t a backup, it’s just a single copy and thus isn’t actually backed up. I would recommend having two drives, one that is the copy and the other is the backup, ideally kept somewhere away from your property so in case of theft or damage you don’t lose both. A digital backup is also great and can be accessed remotely.
Man! At 7:44 the change in the feel or something for the square space portion was awesome. Such a different perspective for me as a viewer, I’m so used to you addressing the camera. That zoom in and what seems to me as a technique change from the previous scene was so cool, felt like inception lol, a layer within a layer. I don’t know much about cameras but I know when something is rad! Love the content, I feel like I’m writing a yelp review. Anyway, not deleting.✌🏽
Don't waste your potential, because potential not acted upon turns into pain and depression. Whenever I make consistent progress with my TH-cam channel I feel most fulfilled. Even though I'm just starting and my videos go practically unseen I stay at it. Tom Bilyeu says success is being able to accept yourself when you're by yourself. Taking consistent action will get you there. It's worth it.
I'm amazed at the growth of this channel in such a short amount of time. It doesn't feel like long ago when I was watching and this channel only had subscribers in the thousands.
I really need to get rid of my excess computers, because I was kinda 'collecting' ThinkPads and I've now got too many. I can list the ones I use first: I have my "best" ThinkPad, a T440s that i bring with me when I travel. My X220 that I use at home on the couch because of the neat size and the dock which I charge it in. My Yoga S1 that is at my parents' house whenever I visit, so that I don't have to remember bringing a laptop. Also my X201i which is a dedicated music PC in my bar at home. And that's about it. This does not include my two desktops, my main minimalist blacked out "gaming rig" (rarely play games anymore) and my HTPC for my TV. I also have a couple of T420s, couple T61, a T43 and an X301. These are never used and could probably be sold, although the T43 is a novelty being a proper IBM and rare to find. So I might keep that... maybe. help. Oh and also an L440 at work which is my private laptop that I can install custom software on since our corporate ThinkPads are locked down. Working as an automation technician I use a lot of different programming software in the field.
So I used an approach inspired by the concept of focusing on your strengths rather than your weaknesses. I tried limiting my time on social media and other apps that added nothing to my life or productivity but never worked, I kept coming back when I was bored. Then I realized I am a fan of technology and I can’t stay away from it so I found different activities to do on my iPad / iPhone. Now I have at least one or two books downloaded on my books app. When I’m bored I just open the app and start reading. This has also helped accomplish my reading goals and use my down time more efficiently. Now the most used app is the books app by more than 5 hours from the second most used app. Hope this helps anyone ✌🏽
Man, I was glad to see Russian subtitles, it’s much more convenient to watch you, thank you for that! It would be great if you added this to each of your videos! Keep up the good work, you are the best in your field!) (Привет из России)
The Notes app on Mac is so underrated. I never opened it for ages, but a few years ago I have it a shot and now it’s one of my most used apps. It makes everything SO easy to sync, and it’s great for video descriptions.
I've been following your channel since the very beginning and I'm so happy to know that this channel have been progressing very greatly! And I love that this has been the video I've needed to get my things together HA! Have a fun time horseback riding with Nat! Keep making awesome contents!!
If you use Facebook, the Social Fixer plugin is a must. You can hide parts of the Facebook page that you don't use. I use it to hide the stories tab, ads, the birthdays and all those eyesores. Essentially my Facebook homepage only contains just the news feed now. But then again, this is Matt's channel. I guess everyone here knows Facebook is cancer anyway. I just use Facebook for the Spongebob memes and for communication with people in college. Edit: i forgot to mention, the best thing about this plugin is removing the 'people you may know' tab which is just god damn creepy
Claude Kristoffer it’s funny, Facebook blew up, and now it’s either Mums who post everything, or people like you, who use it for the reasons Facebook was created in the first place
switching to free software really helped me as a minimalist. no ads, no dopamine traps, everything is customizeable, i update when i want to and hardware is super cheap.
I haven’t finished the video yet, but a friend showed me to go into the accessibility settings of my iPhone and to setup the triple click home button to turn on black and white mode, it makes everything black and white which helps eliminate the urgency of all the red alert dots everywhere. The colors have been design to create sensory overload I think, so this tip has really helped to make it easier to not get distracted and constantly be picking up my phone.
Going paperless has been huge for me, I constantly take notes by hand so I bought an iPad Pro + Apple Pencil and it's cut down on my use for notebooks big time. Plus I used to have a 2-3 different colored pens since I preferred to differentiate and highlight specific things in my notes but now with the Apple Pencil I have every color and highlighter that I'll ever need in one pencil. I would highly recommend it to anyone who can afford it, it takes about a week or 2 to get used to, but after that you'll never go back. I've even taken drawing up as a hobby on the iPad since it's such a pleasure to use, it just inspires creativity. I find myself drawing more than I ever have and not just watching Netflix/TH-cam like I'm prone to doing on my laptop.
Hey, I’m Kamoliddin. Thanks for making these kinds of videos. They all are really helpful and productive. Matt has a good sense of humor which I really like when I catch these moments and sometimes can’t stop laughing. Thank you Matt! ✊ Keep it up 👍🏼. I’ve started changing with your help. Appreciate ✊🖤
digital minimalism is so underlooked but it is yet so important. in an increasingly digital society, being able to organise urself is extremely improves quality of life and reduces stress.
I was recently put in charge of my company's 'filing system'. which could be better described as a stack of paper as tall as me, 17 times. There was no digital filing system, and the physical filing system was 2 years out of date in places, so they didn't even know if they were missing anything. i cannot even tell you how much easier EVERYONE's job has gotten now that I have physical and digital files of everything, and where they are. really, digital organization can solve so many problems
I have been working on my computer alot in the past, and came up with a good system. of course it's always changing a little. I have a promise to myself to always keep my desk-drop empty, at least on the main screen. And even if I'm an artist I have this dark gray background that feels good for my eyes.
Came for the minimalism stayed for the ASMR. It seems that large internal storage on devices has become redundant due to the use of multiple work devices. Small SSDs like the T5 are a game-changer, fast enough to work on the go, even edit videos, then come home and plug it into the main rig without worrying about bulk and reliability. The only thing I can't get used to is cloud storage, because I need to constantly access assets from old creative projects which would mean downloading them every time.
In this Digital world, everything seems practical. "At the End, the stuff doesn't work & the loop continues day after day". With endless scrolling & regrets
I'm gonna keep watching videos without any subtitles. I actually like your voice and your videos are helping me to practice my English. But anyways thank you. Greetings and much love from russian subs
I use ONLY TH-cam now (because it helps in my studies). Removed all other social media, except reddit which I use for 15 mins every day. Gotta say it feels liberating.
because Google sucks at protecting your privacy... some days ago there was a big skandal around leaked google photos.. th-cam.com/video/wpa6gQCOmhw/w-d-xo.html

So after watching this video I cleaned up more than 7,000 junk emails which I had never opened since 2016. Thanks Matt, you're an inspiration.
Every TH-camr on the planet rn: uploaded Galaxy S20 video
Matt: Digital Minimalism
This video was literally buried between 100 S20 videos.
And they’re all saying the same thing 💀
This is a good point! It is refreshing to have someone who has an opposite take on the latest gadgets aka consumerism. Urg.

That zoom in and what seems to me as a technique change from the previous scene was so cool, felt like inception lol, a layer within a layer. I don’t know much about cameras but I know when something is rad! Love the content, I feel like I’m writing a yelp review. Anyway, not deleting.✌🏽
Where do I find those 'quick' pics, Matt? Asking for a friend.
hahaha
😂 😂 😂
I am so obsessed with ASMR for OCD. Satisfying, sigh. You are always great to watch and always inspire me. Thanks 🙂
Don't waste your potential, because potential not acted upon turns into pain and depression. Whenever I make consistent progress with my TH-cam channel I feel most fulfilled. Even though I'm just starting and my videos go practically unseen I stay at it. Tom Bilyeu says success is being able to accept yourself when you're by yourself. Taking consistent action will get you there. It's worth it.
Andreas Rydell - Vlogs & Self Development not much „consistent progress“ with your channel, hm? What do you think is the problem?
I'm amazed at the growth of this channel in such a short amount of time. It doesn't feel like long ago when I was watching and this channel only had subscribers in the thousands.

You are literally the reason my digital life is minimal. Thank you Matt!!
I really need to get rid of my excess computers, because I was kinda 'collecting' ThinkPads and I've now got too many. I can list the ones I use first:
I have my "best" ThinkPad, a T440s that i bring with me when I travel. My X220 that I use at home on the couch because of the neat size and the dock which I charge it in. My Yoga S1 that is at my parents' house whenever I visit, so that I don't have to remember bringing a laptop. Also my X201i which is a dedicated music PC in my bar at home. And that's about it. This does not include my two desktops, my main minimalist blacked out "gaming rig" (rarely play games anymore) and my HTPC for my TV.
I also have a couple of T420s, couple T61, a T43 and an X301. These are never used and could probably be sold, although the T43 is a novelty being a proper IBM and rare to find. So I might keep that... maybe. help. Oh and also an L440 at work which is my private laptop that I can install custom software on since our corporate ThinkPads are locked down. Working as an automation technician I use a lot of different programming software in the field.
So I used an approach inspired by the concept of focusing on your strengths rather than your weaknesses. I tried limiting my time on social media and other apps that added nothing to my life or productivity but never worked, I kept coming back when I was bored. Then I realized I am a fan of technology and I can’t stay away from it so I found different activities to do on my iPad / iPhone. Now I have at least one or two books downloaded on my books app. When I’m bored I just open the app and start reading. This has also helped accomplish my reading goals and use my down time more efficiently. Now the most used app is the books app by more than 5 hours from the second most used app. Hope this helps anyone ✌🏽
Oh wow I’m really excited for this video, I’m currently overloaded with tens of thousands of photos on my phone and intimidated
The day you remove unnecessary photos is the best feeling ever, I deleted over 15000 photos while on a long haul flight and it felt liberating 😅
Man, I was glad to see Russian subtitles, it’s much more convenient to watch you, thank you for that!
It would be great if you added this to each of your videos! Keep up the good work, you are the best in your field!)

i am the Vietnamese and i'm really into watching your video to improve my listening skills and learn more tips to be more productive in my life
I'm so glad I chose to stir my coffe and not drink it right before that "quick pics" joke. Saved myself the mess.
I didn’t get it... :( Confused
@@luscious_sky I would've spit out my drink, getting it on my desk and computer screen. Hope that helps.
The Notes app on Mac is so underrated. I never opened it for ages, but a few years ago I have it a shot and now it’s one of my most used apps. It makes everything SO easy to sync, and it’s great for video descriptions.
Love it. More on Digital Minimalism please 🙏
Never got ASMR until today. Absolutely love hearing you whisper...weirdest thing I’ve ever said but still so true.
Thank you for this video, matt. (*whispering*)
OMG!!! Filipino vlogger, right there!
Hi!💛
this is my fav channel on TH-cam atm
I really expected some ASMR from that link in bio :(
FOR REALLL
I've been following your channel since the very beginning and I'm so happy to know that this channel have been progressing very greatly! And I love that this has been the video I've needed to get my things together HA! Have a fun time horseback riding with Nat! Keep making awesome contents!!
If you use Facebook, the Social Fixer plugin is a must. You can hide parts of the Facebook page that you don't use. I use it to hide the stories tab, ads, the birthdays and all those eyesores. Essentially my Facebook homepage only contains just the news feed now.
But then again, this is Matt's channel. I guess everyone here knows Facebook is cancer anyway. I just use Facebook for the Spongebob memes and for communication with people in college.
Edit: i forgot to mention, the best thing about this plugin is removing the 'people you may know' tab which is just god damn creepy
Claude Kristoffer oooh do they have one for Instagram?
Claude Kristoffer it’s funny, Facebook blew up, and now it’s either Mums who post everything, or people like you, who use it for the reasons Facebook was created in the first place
Claude Kristoffer Any one specifically?
@@jessicasantiago2478 what do you mean?
@@wereallpinkinside8452 we've gone full circle with Facebook lol. Hopefully we get to see it crumble sometime soon
You don't just do your methods, you share it with all of us and all I can say is Thank You!!
I got so many PICTUUUURES and deleting some of em gives me peace
switching to free software really helped me as a minimalist. no ads, no dopamine traps, everything is customizeable, i update when i want to and hardware is super cheap.

Next video: *DMT for minimalists*
I haven’t finished the video yet, but a friend showed me to go into the accessibility settings of my iPhone and to setup the triple click home button to turn on black and white mode, it makes everything black and white which helps eliminate the urgency of all the red alert dots everywhere. The colors have been design to create sensory overload I think, so this tip has really helped to make it easier to not get distracted and constantly be picking up my phone.
*I'm not a big fan of most social media sites so that helps a lot with digital minimalism!*
Going paperless has been huge for me, I constantly take notes by hand so I bought an iPad Pro + Apple Pencil and it's cut down on my use for notebooks big time. Plus I used to have a 2-3 different colored pens since I preferred to differentiate and highlight specific things in my notes but now with the Apple Pencil I have every color and highlighter that I'll ever need in one pencil. I would highly recommend it to anyone who can afford it, it takes about a week or 2 to get used to, but after that you'll never go back.
I've even taken drawing up as a hobby on the iPad since it's such a pleasure to use, it just inspires creativity. I find myself drawing more than I ever have and not just watching Netflix/TH-cam like I'm prone to doing on my laptop.
You should definitely contact Linus (LTT) for your file server
Hey, I’m Kamoliddin. Thanks for making these kinds of videos. They all are really helpful and productive. Matt has a good sense of humor which I really like when I catch these moments and sometimes can’t stop laughing. Thank you Matt! ✊ Keep it up 👍🏼. I’ve started changing with your help. Appreciate ✊🖤
You should consider doing the ASMR thing more often 🤣
Agreed
Oh my god, this "Compose email" one click link was is such a time saver! Thanks a million!
- Scoffs in Linux -
You call this digital minimalism?
@Owen Carey Don't forget Linux Mint!
@Owen Carey A window manager is overkill when you got the terminal bro.
Wow thanks matt, it is insane how transparent you are with us!
Those 2% people (me included) interested in your server build have already watched a ton of Linus tech tips 😂😂😂
I'd love to see what percentage of Matt's audience sub to Linus
These videos should be nominated for an Oscar just for their edition. Perfect job
iBeer free 😂😂 Buddy your Sense of Humor is so underrated
digital minimalism is so underlooked but it is yet so important. in an increasingly digital society, being able to organise urself is extremely improves quality of life and reduces stress.
9:25 "Lucid dreaming research"
Guess we know what to except for the next video
I was recently put in charge of my company's 'filing system'. which could be better described as a stack of paper as tall as me, 17 times. There was no digital filing system, and the physical filing system was 2 years out of date in places, so they didn't even know if they were missing anything. i cannot even tell you how much easier EVERYONE's job has gotten now that I have physical and digital files of everything, and where they are. really, digital organization can solve so many problems
2:20 I have to admit that I laughed more than I think I should xDDD
nah it was so funny!!! lmaoo
I didn't even smile
This compose gmail link is golden! As an productive enthusiast this helped a lot. Thanks!
We want, the server video on TH-cam. Team up with Linus tech tips?
Loved the inbox shortcut. Thanks Matt
It has been almost 2 years since I've been a part of this channel and I feel it's time for us to help Matt call The Rock on his podcast.
Anubhav B you are one hundred percent correct!
I have been working on my computer alot in the past, and came up with a good system. of course it's always changing a little.
I have a promise to myself to always keep my desk-drop empty, at least on the main screen. And even if I'm an artist I have this dark gray background that feels good for my eyes.
Oh come onnn, I just installed Instagram after detox and now this ugh
Simplifying everything should be the name of your channel... sir you are an OG for less.. love your cinematic video style
2:26 The Office. Man. With. Culture.
I've mostly implemented your tips and they are working out great for me so far (since your 4 tips video) and the habit calendar. You're Inspirational.
iPhone “Ten” S
Came for the minimalism stayed for the ASMR.
It seems that large internal storage on devices has become redundant due to the use of multiple work devices. Small SSDs like the T5 are a game-changer, fast enough to work on the go, even edit videos, then come home and plug it into the main rig without worrying about bulk and reliability. The only thing I can't get used to is cloud storage, because I need to constantly access assets from old creative projects which would mean downloading them every time.
Do I have to do my homework? Yes
Will I still watch all 16 minutes of this video?? Also a yes.
😂😂😂
I tried turning on Hindi caption and it’s perfect.. appreciate your efforts on reaching to a wider variety of crowd.
In this Digital world, everything seems practical. "At the End, the stuff doesn't work & the loop continues day after day". With endless scrolling & regrets
I'm gonna keep watching videos without any subtitles. I actually like your voice and your videos are helping me to practice my English. But anyways thank you. Greetings and much love from russian subs
I think deleting TH-cam would save many people much time.
I use ONLY TH-cam now (because it helps in my studies). Removed all other social media, except reddit which I use for 15 mins every day. Gotta say it feels liberating.
@@saloni.sharma a man of culture who use Reddit
There are many educational videos on YT. It depends on the viewers what they promote or view :)
@@navs9896ah! a fellow redditor. Nice.
Me too I only use TH-cam
love the bits of humor you now include in the videos :)
The video should actually be called "apples favourite consumer"
jesus for a second i thought cody ko replied to my comment
Man I need this wake up call... and on my birthday of all days! Thanks, Matt... keep em coming!
Using Google Drive and Photos, and most of the Google ecosystem, why don't you get a Pixel?
because Google sucks at protecting your privacy... some days ago there was a big skandal around leaked google photos.. th-cam.com/video/wpa6gQCOmhw/w-d-xo.html
Yes to asmar for ocd ppl. To be fair I watch your videos not only for content but because they are soothing.
Glad to hear you got a team now.
