The first step to minimalism is being satisfied with what you already have.

Perfect❤️

@Bishakh Sen Just shut up

YOU STRIKE ME, AS A COMMENTER WHO HAS NEVER BEEN SATISFIED.

Yaaaasss 👏🏾 but does that include food??? I always want to buy more veggies.

The biggest myth about minimalism is that it only applies to physical things. You can live in a mini apartment and only own 10 things but if you are binge watching youtube videos and are on the internet all day, you are definitely not a minimalist.

What is that shirt?

For me minimalism means have stuff but in a efficient way, like chargers for example, you have the less amout of cables around your house, or fornitures, you don't need that big and expensive one if you don't have many things to put on them. I think in minimalism in that way for me and my life style, idk if that's correct or don't, i don't care that much because I try to live more lighter.

The guy got a nike football boots there👀👀

Intentionalist.......

By the way, I am totally down to take that camera gear and drone, oh and the drone, off your hands. (Don’t forget the drone)

Great video! Keep up the good work mat your video are seriously changing my life!

I told my friend about minimalism. She said that she might suggest it to her mum with her 12 kids. Get rid of the ones that ✨don’t spark joy✨

I really liked when you said "we think the key to happiness.... is collecting all the right trophies." That is so spot on.

Not going to lie I think this is really good and I want start now also as someone with ADHD it seems that this would be helpful because I can't control it sometimes and then I just buy a lot of things

WoW 🤩 awesome i do big clean few Times a year

Hey Matt, why did you change your keyboard and mouse?

thoughts on speechify.com?

Anyone else notice that the ps controller buttons are reversed in the thumbnail?

Gonna try this

Okay I’m getting into minimalism but sorry. I will have to buy a picture frame and put that photo of The Rock on it.

It’s a cry for help from people who are scared

i feel like there's a desperate need (in some people at least) to define themselves and the things they do. i get these things exist and to a certain extent i also get why they exist, but nonetheless it kinda strikes me as silly. why would one build some sort of orthodoxy around who they are and how they live their life? i suppose these people think they're embracing some kind of cool, oriental sounding life philosophy but in all honesty they're just constructing a whole canon around a preference or a life choice. i mean: you like a tidy, decluttered home? fine. just don't make it an ideology, cause it isn't. some people make personal inclinations look like communism in the ussr. a doctrine. and this is true for minimalists, hipsters, vegans, vegetarians and so on and so forth. i'm like: just chill, live your life the way it suits you best and pursue anything that makes you feel fulfilled at the moment. i know it might seem tempting to align oneself to a doctrine of some kind, but doctrines are a double edge sword: they provide you with a set of rules but they're not so adaptive, therefore there's a chance they can also limit you at times. life changes, and so do people, so i'd rather be adaptive and change with the flow than feeling dragged down by some kind of borderline moral rule i chose sometime in the past. why would you define yourself so thoroughly that that very same definition becomes a cage for yourself?

I have always understood minimalist is just not trying to attain more than one needs, not getting rid of everything.

His thumbnails are the most aesthetically pleasing ones on YouTube🤩

It doesn't matter how minimalist you are. In the end, you will always have a Macbook! :-) Just kidding! I arrived here at Ph Santos (He is a brazilian filme critic: https://www.youtube.com/user/rapha7000). He was talking about the book "Essentialism" and also quoted a video of yours about it. I know it is a matter of semantics, but I prefer the term "essentialism", because it reminds me more of quality than quantity (this superficial idea that minimalism is about having few or almost nothing). In the end it's all about these questions that bother us. When you read a book on personal development and spend more time thinking about the answers than reading and turning the pages, you are on the right track. And you may need to close the book and think for a day or two.

im so in love with minimalism and it saddens me that i can't apply it to my daily life cuz i'm with my family and they're exactly the opposite of minimalism. i can't wait to live alone and live with this kind of lifestyle

I've started to practice minimalism and watching your videos do help, but also brings me joy and laughter so thank you :) just wanted you to know that you do have an impact !

I consider myself a minimalist even with a closet full of clothes and a library of books I will never get rid of- because I chose them with intention. I got rid of everything that wasnt serving me or the life I wanted to live and what I'm left with serves me. I don't keep a book if I hated it and I don't hold onto any clothes out of guilt or attachment. I keep only the things I love and I consciously consume, so I consider myself a minimalist.

One question I have about minimalism is that if it's wrong to be emotional attached to stuff from the past that we don't need anymore? I have a ton of books that I read when I was younger, and even that I don't read them in years, they are still really meaningful to me. Do you guys this that's a bad habit do have?

Hitting that 10 min for the algorithm nice, commenting for the algorithm.

Where are you now Matt and Nat?

Hello, does someone knows where to find this nice glass and corck cup at 6:24 and 7:55 ? It's for a non-minimaliste friend !

My channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtOX2vDsRpYbzb_YYwoWbYw

As always, quality videos right here!

Minimalism is my lifestyle just cause I can’t afford anything else

If there is anything that would remind me of matt’s channel it would be that flag pillow

Im a mnmlst

Thought that candle was a grinder

Who else is under 18 starting a more minimal lifestyle?

Things you can't* have too much of as a minimalist: 1. Biceps 2. Tweets @ing you by the rock 3. Videos about minimalism 😂 Much love

As a photographer and videographer I feel you. I do think having a video game or movie collection is ok though like having a book collection just not as socially acceptable

Sure someone may be a minimalist but are there shirt hung up in a logically organized way?

0:18 The rock on the left cabinet

I'm minimalist but can't get rid of my Batman action figures, I like them so much lol

I love the idea of minimalism n bro Matt's videos

My living quality has actually improved since I decluttered stuffs.

My partner is a hoarder... I really want to throw all his stuff out. Can a hoarder be cured?

I didn't realize I've always been a minimalist my entire life until I have watched this video. I always thought it just my anxiety problems lol Now time to get reorganize my room : )

This is the only channel where it makes me happy to see advertisers supporting him. I know for so long he stayed away from him and i am ok to sit for an extra minute threw an ad to know that he can make YouTube a full time job. Love you Matt!

The reason why many think have a negative perception of minimalism is because they think it’s the same as being frugal. Which is... very different.

I'm Brazilian but I've been living in Russia for the past 6 years and I try to have the minimum stuff possible here but I cleaned my wardrobe (and made wife do the same, against her will) a few months ago, and I try to keep the minimum possible here because I never know when I'm leaving to another country. Every time I go back home, I clean my bedroom in my parents' house and I always throw many things away but I still cannot get rid of the majority of them. The other problem about getting rid of unnecessary things besides sentimentalism is that I'm always worried about where is my rubbish going to end up? I mean that here in Russia and in Brazil, like most developing countries, there is not really a recycling system so I don't want to bring more trash to the environment.

You can't declutter when you are poor, coz you have nothing.

I'm the cheatiest minimalist ever; about 95% of my books, games, dvds, CDs and records are all in my wardrobe haha. As long as they're all boxed up in some sort of order (which pretty much all of them are, games all in one box, books all together etc) I don't have any desire to outright get rid of anything, but justify it to myself that if I'm going to get something out, something goes in the box to take it's place. In my living room I have a tall standing lamp, sofa, armchair, tv stand with tv, ps4 and switch, a desk for a imac/music stuff and a small dining table. My kitchen cupboards are pretty modestly full as well and there isn't multiple appliances spread over my kitchen worktops at all times (except for the toaster, kettle and microwave). All of this encapsulates the essence of minimalism for me without going completely overboard in my opinion.

first step to minimalism is drinking a lot of coffee

Там Русский блогер минималист очень тебя любит)) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exRlCBIgwBU&t=25s&ab_channel=NickChernobaev

can you tell us the secret how to cope up with a family that is not a minimalist or not even open to it?

i am a huge fan of the rock too and i am 20 , will want to try minimalism for sure

Minimalism = everything white. LOL ...

How do you become a minimalist with three kids ?

Uhm, that hoodie is pretty damn cool. Where can i get that?

Okay what _Minimalist_ has a UNION JACK cushion when they’re American and wife is Australian?

I wish my bank account would stop being a minimilist

I like you👍 bro you awesome 😎

I have been muttering in the back of my mind that 'only _____ years....' before I get to start my f*cking independence. I hate how parents keep buying unnecessary things then giving children them, can't they f*cking see that they are directly influencing their child's character by buying crappy junk??? 'If I wanted something, I'll ask for it,' why is that so hard? Love my dad, but he can be an *ss with all the clothes filling my closet. As soon as I have the chance, I'll take the bare minimum and runaway

When you have everything... You can do that. You still living in luxury.. That isn't minimalism.

Where could I get that hoodie?

Consom.

Matt I have to know, is that plant real?

Why do you have a framed photo of the "Rock"?

New Subscriber! Great points on minimalism. Thank you Matt! ☺️

i just realized he already did that slow mo coffee joke 😂

👍👍👍😭😭😭

viewer from France, great content! I'm minimalist but I have got dozens of action figures so what lol I'm so fond of this stuff!

I have just found out your channel. You have such pleasing voice. You are a great story teller.

you and all of your videos about minimalism have changed my life in a huge way, thank you so much

Did I just see a pair of Nike tiempo legend 7s in your closet?? Are you a soccer player???

I like minimalism and simple living.

"Things that don't live up to your expectations" that's most of the junk in my house😏

You’re the risen I embarrassed minimalism I’m so thankful 🤍

Admit it, matt: this is just a video to justify how cluttered your gear closet is. 😂

I think minimalism is also about getting rid of things, because you don't see value in it, and after a while of abstinence, re-buying the thing because you reconsidered that it had value to you. Never judge you for your actions in the past, folks.

That is the best fitting jacket I’ve ever seen

I love Matt's sense of humor

Get rid of the British flag cushion and I might start liking your videos.

Never get rid of the picture of the most electrifying man!!!

I was a minimalist when I was a kid because I had no say in the matter. Now that I have ALL the say in the matter, I love having cool shit!! 🤣😀👍

Do a give away for the drone lol

Just wondering what's that book title at 0:19?

I stg halve your videos give me deja vu about other videos from you 😂

Actually , i started practicing minimalism for about 3 months till now and it really changed my life not 100% , but i started to rearrange my priorities and to think before buying any new stuff whether i do really want it or just gonna buy it because everyone else is buying it , thank you for the video and for the clarifying .

Did you dye the coffee for the thumbnail or did you just edit it?

What is minimalism? 🤔 Can someone explain?

Not accumulating stuff you don't use, and being mindful of your spending. The opposite of a minimalist would be a shopaholic.
