Just an informal survey, but how many viewers really pay for an off site storage? If so, what's in it - clothes or furniture?
We had a storage unit for furniture and books while we we’re living at my moms house but now that we have bought our home, we no longer have a storage unit.
Growing up in Poland some 30 years ago we never had any storage units just a little basement. We had basic stuff that people needed and there was no clutter. Now people in Poland are nouvelle riches and they have too much and it hurts bc they even throw out food . :(
I had a storage unit when I was sent away for military training for months and was up in the air on my next living arrangements. Storage unit was cheaper than renting an apartment.
Beckala67 ...embarrassed to say I do. Working and therefore living overseas as a minimalist (and I love it). Paying $140/mo. for storing my “stuff” back in the States. Think I’ll give everything away on my next trip home and save the money to buy what I need if/when I return to U.S. to live.
Books mostly.
Great video. I watched it because it was 15 things in 3 minutes, not 3 things in 15 minutes like many others.
Finally, a minimalist channel for males. Good.
I am a few months into "Breaking the Twitch" and living an intentional life. It is really a journey and not a destination. I am seeing the money flow in and the junk flow out. More important than the money is the peace in your life it gives you. Anthony is far better than me to explain this, but coming home from a long day at work to a neat and minimalistic home is the perfect way to end the work day, you can sit and relax or cook a meal or actually talk to you spouse . It is crazy how much that helps. Every piece of "Whatever" that leaves my house give me another piece of my life back!!! Thank You Anthony!!!!
So happy to hear about your journey and experience. Thank you for this!
The clean house is definitely a benefit since most of our visitors tend to randomly call when they are in the area. Thankful that I never have to run around like a mad woman picking up things. Awesome video.
Thank you! :)
Good grief! You've blown your production values sky high with this one Mr O! I am in awe. Top class video my friend.
Thanks, man!
Wow, I agree. This was a joy to watch.
I completely agree on the last one. Too many distractions in our daily life.
Nice condensed truth about everyday minimalism. I have exactly the same experience!
Yes, yes, yes! I went through my kitchen cabinets this year and cleared out lots of duplicate and superfluous items. Did I really need 7 flower vases? No! I can find what I need for meal preparation so much more easily!
At the beginning of the video I thought you were losing your hair 😂
Esîlle Folkène Hahaha yeah me too 😂
That is absolutely hilarious. And likely not untrue. ;)
Taking minimalism to a new level ;-)
hahaha :D
I sold my motorcycle and car, sold my house fully furnished... me and my man hitting the road soon .. at the closing of our house, my husband shook my hand and said Congratulations Mrs Riccio..you are officially homeless! .. we laughed so much , right there in the office of the title co. ..Minimalist ,,,, Ninja Level !
Well I hope u r having a gr8 time ❤️❤️
Sounds awesome
This seems like the worst period.
Even the market are now very unpredictable.
Started investing recently when the market prices were a bit high, today I am more than 60% down!
Don't be confuse buying the dip in a bear market, with guaranteed future returns.
Just because that company is down 60% + from ATH does NOT make it a sound long-term investment. Make sure you're investing in great companies. kudos to
Sylvia nicolas.
I agree just reached my goal of $500k monthly trade earnings. Setting realistic goals is an essential part of trading.
please educate me, i am willing to make consultation to improve my situation.
Woah for real? I'm super excited. sylvia nicolas strategy has normalized winning trades for me also. and it's a huge milestone for me looking back to how it all started
Yeah, 143k from sylvia nicolas., looking up to acquire a new House, blessings
Yeees, I totally agree with all of these. Living with less makes life so much easier on so many levels :). Loved this video!!!
Great video! I especially loved the "cabinet Jenga" part! Thanks for sharing these ideas.
I loved watching every minute of this video. So well put together.
The editing... mind blown! Well done.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking the time to comment as well. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Life goals 😍
Just starting minimalism to improve my inner self. After being a stock market investor since the age of 16 I've been learned that life is all about stuff and that happiness is something you can 'HAVE', and today I'm starting to learn that nothing is less true. Happiness is a state of being, you can become happy, and clutter free, you can never OWN happiness. And people like you, man, are the reason I got interested by this state of being, I really hope this works out well and I am looking forward to seeing more videos of this kind. A big, big, BIG thank you!
Keeping only those that matter... Makes sense.
When you want to fly high get rid of things dragging you down. Awesome video.
So very true!! People here in Hawaii who are affected by the lava flows & needed to evacuate can really relate to what you said!! Literally thousands of people was affected!!,... I should add the eruption affected a small portion of the population of this island of almost 200,000 people!
I genuinely enjoy these videos. I have a really big final in an hour and watching your videos really helps calm me down to focus on something else.
I'm glad it could help you find some relaxation, I hope the final went well for you!
Awww! Felt so good identifying with every situation! From the clothes, to the cabinet (i have a very very similar organization as yours haha), to the clean desk, to the just having pens that work, to the easy and fast laundry! I'm happy and proud of my minimalism ❤️ btw... Fucking awesome video!!! 👏
Be proud! Choosing the right life and situation where you can thrive is something to be really, really proud of. Thanks for your kind words and I'm glad this one hit home!
Wow. Just amazing. Fridge decluttering part one over for me
Thank smirk after he catches those keys HAHAHA love this video
I love how you described a messy cabinet as playing Jenga. I used to play Jenga with my Tupperware containers. After this video, I have cut down on my Tupperware and I have an assigned spot in the kitchen for my Tupperware. Thanks!
Thank you, Anthony! Great video! Simple and clear.
So makes sense, I’m heading towards it. Hopefully. Thanks
I also agree with Andrew. Your voice is very pleasant to listen to & the video just flows like a gentle stream.
your content is very simple and easy to understand. Your videos are fun to watch. You are doing great. Best of Luck.
Love your voice, your rationale, and your expertise! In a dream world, I imagine my husband serenading me with these sweet words (and actually doing these things).. : ) Thank you.
Haha, thank you!
Good point. I think a minimalist haircut (buzzcut) would also go well with the concept.
I really like how well put-together this video is. So smooth! And great list of benefits I've started to notice as I progress through the minimizing process, too.
What wonderful tips and, this sounds kooky, but reassurance that the tasks I'm doing to live 'intentionally' are for good reason. Thank you for the reminder.
totally agree about not loosing things ! I used to be so bad for this but now its easy because everything has a place :)
Love this! I've been working towards living with less and it feels so freeing! Thanks for sharing these ideas!!
0:46 OMG SERIOUSLY?! Never knew that!
I love what you said for minimalist
One of the best video in web about minimalism! Short and simple - i love it!
Thanks for your kind words, Tomasz-glad to have you here.
THAT INTRO. 👌
Lol that cup cabinet
What a great little reminder of why keeping life simple works. Thank you!
Thank you!
Very well made and a blast to watch! And it goes without saying i love the content!
Great tips, we are currently trying to minimise our stuff but I still feel we have way too much!!
Awesome! Trying to get there, and I'm so close! Deadline 17. may - a new life of minimalism for me and my family! Already started to get the benefits of my new lifestyle with more money, better health and more spare time! Loving your channel, a great inspiration! :)
That's so great that you're already seeing the benefits! Congrats on embarking on a new life of minimalism with the fam! Glad my channel has been helpful, and thank you for the kind words. :)
This was a perfect explanation, thank you! Becoming Minimalist blog sent me here as he added this video in his Weekend Reads.
Anthony it's so good to have you back making quality videos. It's so rare to find guys talking about minimalism. The subject on TH-cam tends to be saturated by shouting girls in their early 20s
It feels good to be back making more videos! More to come in the following months. :)
I agree. Or just static shots of people rambling about a whole range of topics with no real theme to each post.
Jo Norman yes!! Some TH-camrs stick 'Minimalism' in the title for the hits, then spend the first 3 minutes rambling about nothing before they say 'So let's get right into it'
Pretty much all of these can be achieved without getting rid of your stuff. You don't need to do sell or throw away your items to achieve the mental and inner peace that minimalism gets you.
I enjoyed watching this video. Very entertaining. I was really intrigued by all the visuals.
I think I’ve become an expert minimalist over the past few years. Feels great 👍
It is a good video, thank you. Probably will recommend it to my friends.
Double Thumbs up!! Thanks..
Tapes, dvd, books. It is all in the mudroom now. No storage. units anymore.
simple & Perfect ✨
Thanks!
That doorbell made me go answer my door... Like - exactly like what mine sounds like.
Also, thank you for making a list video where each point isn't over a minute long when it can be 10-15 seconds. Thank you! (And mad props on the improvements in your technical skills).
Haha, several people now have mentioned the doorbell-didn't mean to startle everyone! Thanks, Paul!
Anthony! Loved this video! If this was the “experimentation with more voice-over” that you mentioned in the podcast, you nailed it! Super smart editing and utilization of visuals that perfectly pair with your narration. Keep up the great work!
Thank you
Listened to you on Matt’s show. Great stuff. I’m trying to go minimalist as well. For the time being I cleaned my closet
Thank you! Appreciate the note and excited to hear that you're exploring minimalism and what that looks like for you.
My dogs freaked out at the doorbell sound and scared the crap out of me. But it allowed me to refocus my attention on your video. lol
I like your video.You have a soothing voice 😊.A lot of people on their channels speak very loud which is annoying.I will go through my closets and drawers soon...
Ugh, this video made me itch. Time for a declutter spree, it has been way too long!
Love your videos!
They inspire me!!
This is really awesome and well produced video! Thanks
Thanks, Sarah! :)
Not my MUGS anything but my MUGS!!!! I Feel like I need to remove a cabinet just to set up a Mug display shelf.... Mugs ♥♥
Love the points. So true! My favorite is that everything has its place so easy to clean up, easy to find. I enjoy my things more when they aren't stuffed somewhere. What unexpected things did you benefit from? What surprised you?
Surprises? Focus, and a higher rate of finishing things. Fewer projects have gone to the graveyard unfinished in the years since doing this. Perhaps that's a personal development thing in addition to the decluttering, but I see it all as one. :)
Makes me want to get out of bed and donate 80% of my stuff now!
Do it! Or maybe start with 10% and work from there. :)
I'm loving this new format on your videos! Much ❤️
Great video!!!!! I love having an uncluttered closet, and want more poodle!
Your narrative is intricate and captivating; much like a book that was intricate and engaging. "The Joy of Less: A Minimalist Living Guide" by Matthew Cove
Great Video! Thanks
I love your videos
So helpful! Thanks for sharing !!
Awesome. Thanks for your note, Mariah.
TOYOTA, subscribed.
And then you have a kid and have to figure out the balance all over again. Or maybe that's just me lol
Natalie Reddy
Not just you, i feel the same 😂
I have 1 messy kid 1 baby and a maximalist husband who likes to buy buy buy
Tori, did you ask your husband if he would rather want to invest some money and save some for your kids' future?
Uncle Acid we have a savings for the kids but he has taken money out twice for his selfish reasons. The struggle is real when your partner isnt on board with minimalism.
Oh, this isn't good :( Have you spoken to a marriage or financial counselor about this, or maybe on reddit? But anyways, you should definitely make an Excel sheet for both your finances to show him how much money he spends senselessly - maybe you can convince him to spend less with a well-made finance sheet :)
I got stressed when I heard that doorbell at 1:46. I hate when mine rings and I'm also in pajamas at 5:00pm lol
You nailed it! Entertaining, funny and informational. I may watch this several times and definitely sharing it. :-)
Really appreciate the kind words and thank you for sharing the video! :)
lol, I already have a minimalist fridge. It's called a tight food budget and an extreme hatred of food waste.😂
Nice video 👍🏼
A lot richer, reducing your carbon footprint and change in mindset.
Love this (don’t come to my house though-because it’s jenga with all my kids stuff). Side note-miss you! Come to LA! It’s my one year youtube anniversary which means it’s been almost a year since I’ve seen you!! Come visit ❤️
I would love to see you sooner rather than later, I'll keep you posted. I'm in AZ for a chunk of the year now so LA trips are much easier! Excited to meet the littlest one, too. :)
Great ad for minimalism, I want it, where can i but it ? :)
Great ideas
Love the music/vibe so much. Just subbed 🖤
I like the fact that he just messed up the stuff he had to make it look like more stuff. Lol
Seems like being a minimalist isn't so much about getting rid of stuff but not buying so much shit in the first place.
I think you just enjoy being able to tell you're a minimalist. Pretty much the new equivalent of "I'm a vegan" or "I'm a van-lifer"
I couldn’t care less honestly. Minimalism is a great way to do more of what matters to you (remove what doesn’t matter to you to create the space for what does). But it doesn’t matter what you call it, or how you get there. Just a common way to refer to a mindset.
I love your videos!
Thank you for brightening my day. :)
What video production! New Subscriber here. Matt D's podcast got me here. I love your tone btw! :D
Welcome to the channel!
Nice video!
I've got that Tortuga backpack!! It's awesome!!
I like this style of video :)
Your voice though!!!
Love all your videos. You and your partner seem to mesh well, my husband is a maximalist so it’s tough dealing with him! Lol
Thanks so much, Tori. Amy gets tired of me every now and then but we tend to work together pretty darn well. After 11 years together, we might be starting to figure this thing out, haha!
Break the Twitch haha that is great!!
I tried get rid of old dusty toys and some stuff like this...i have fights with my family,,,,they don't want get rid of them neither clean them ,,just cluttering🤷♀️
Great video as always :) thanks for sharing your views
Thank you, Isa! Appreciate you.
Yes! _such_ a good video!
Your avatar is amazing! And thank you. :)
But why is the Rum gone?
Great 👍
I was minimalist and didn't know.
The best kind of minimalist. ;)
Beautiful video ☺️👍🏻
Really appreciate that, thank you.
