I did this with shopping for clothes when I started. If I had doubts I didn't buy it. Why buy it if I don't feel my best in it? There's no reason to wear something I only feel half good in.
this is such a true philosophy. It is really interesting when you pointed out that when you make one decision about purchasing something you are technically making two decisions- saying no to something you could've used that money for. very very interesting and helpful.
You should write a book… SERIOUSLY. I would buy it. All the years of research you have done on everyone else’s years of research is epic and so helpful
This really resonated with me. I’ve always asked myself with each individual item if it sparked joy but when you said the idea about if it’s your favourite pair of jeans etc that hit home. Such a great way of thinking about it and I think that’s going to help me a lot!!

I love this video, Gabe! I already have decluttered a lot but my life partner still says I have way too much stuff. This video will really help me in decluttering and in my future purchases. I love the way you're a minimalist. I mean I like the way you explain things. It helps so much. :)

Great presentation Gabe, thank you for all the effort you put into them. I have been stung before with getting rid of items. So we put them in the charity box in the wardrobe and leave it there for a while, then once a week or so I wander past the shop and drop it in. I did that with a pair of jeans once and missed them so much I knew where they were and bought them back, (i was lucky) so at least I gave to charity. I also had 50 different cotton reel colours, so instead of getting rid of all, I kep one in every main colour, down to 20, I did the same with artist colour pencils and tee shirts and tee towels and towels, anything which I have several of in different colours, then the spares go in the charity box, at 62 I love clearing the house out, less to clean, less to fall over, but what I have left I really like. Mark from London
3:44 Couch? I need no couch. Couches are (for me) a huge distraction because couch = chilling = movies = sedentary lifestyle. My peeps think it’s odd, but I’m odd so there ya go. 🙃
Lots of trials give us thick skin and prepares us to be more disciplined. Life 101 is one of my best teachers and I get them a lot. But triumph is rewarding.
I use this same type of thought process when helping people close to me! I ask them those types of questions before they make a purchase 😄 It's hard for me not to!
I am A BRAND NEW SUBSCRIBER To your channel! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your content!! Thanks so very much for all the effort that you put into your videos so that your audience and reap the benefits of your knowledge. I JUST started decluttering two days ago! I can't believe HOW HAPPY I FELT just decluttering my kitchen counter top! It feels GREAT! I am going to try your challenge and get rid of 1 thing per day for 30 days! Again, thank you very much!
Hi Gabe, I just wanted to say thanks for your channel. I really like your content and it has encouraged me to start my own channel. A lot of the stuff you've posted until now inspired me a lot at the start of my (ongoing) journey. And you're much younger than I am!! Keep it up
What I do is eliminate so that I don't have to do routines. If I have too much to do, I'm working from the outside in vs inside out. The approaches are very different.
Thanks for the free trial. I've been telling potential employers than I can use Excel for the past 6 years, probably time I actually learn how to use it.
This is a really good video with a ton of great advice for downsizing and simplifying your life. I've learned a few things for minimalizing my tiny home RV life even! Thank you
I like "the look" very uplifting & building others up. So many come from a shame based identity of harshness. You have done awesome and I love you that you inspire!
I love the comment of time as people often ask for things that take your time that cost them nothing but have no benefit for you. I also like the spending comment, as it shows the cost is not just financial but that "time is money is time".
It's not selfish to actually take care of yourself. Others come along in life naturally and just a smile or word of encouragement helps rather than time consuming calls.

Very good wisdom here. It took me until 57 years on this planet and having made those mistakes many of times in order to start thinking of things like he mentioned in this video. What I learned is not to bring "UNDUE" maintenance into your life which is un-necessary . For example, used electronic items, Recreational vehicles of any kind (this is a big one), An old house that's in need of repair. Best is to rent the Recreational Vehicles than to own them. Same with renting a home in some cases. Think it through before committing to such things. Nevertheless, the temptation/lust to possess can be great at times.
Hey, Gabe, I Love your Video on the 90% Rule!! It's totally Black and White!! 😁..... Well I Love( All ), your Videos!! A BIG THANKYOU SOOOO Very MUCH!!

Hey Gabe ....this video came at the perfect time since holiday season is upon us and this is usually the time when we forget how much ( be it time or money) to spend. So thank you for reminding it. For me personally, applying this 90% is going to be very helpful. Thanks again!
i have ordered cloths online that i think look cool then when i actually get it i dont want to wear it because its to flashy and draws to much attention so i dont wear it at all so then it just takes space I just donated all those clothes and dont buy anything fancy anymore im happy with just an easy plain shirt
Thanks for your effort, i need to try this out. Ive be3n having trouble to decide what falls into my 90% and above. Ive lost half my weight and dont have any clothing left so im very confused what are basic clothing that i need and will wear, what is my style (never had one), how to go about that etc.

Relationship is always more important than being right is something someone told me and I think that is what brings success in life.
I find when the pressure mounts from doing too much, I will take the day off and commit to NOTHING. Usually that's all I need to reset.
This is a really interesting rule. My mom used to tell me 90/10 as in 90% of things you cannot control so you should focus on the 10% you can.
This really resonated with me. I’ve always asked myself with each individual item if it sparked joy but when you said the idea about if it’s your favourite pair of jeans etc that hit home. Such a great way of thinking about it and I think that’s going to help me a lot!!
Part of the 90% rule is wrapping things up. Keep short accounts, don't let things pile up for yrs and get bitter.
