A lot of people don't realise minimalism isn't just about having less its about letting go of things you don't need, if you own a 100 plates and you need and use them every day then that's minimalism. But don't prioritise minimalism over happiness, if you want to fill your house with things that make you happy then that's fine.

I am a hoarder who slowly got rid of many simply useless things in the last year. I'm still not done with the process of decluttering, but I will not go to the extreme of possessing just one plate or one pair of jeans. It's simply too extreme. I train myself always to ask the question if it's necessary to buy something or not. Balance is key.

Since lockdown started a year ago, I have been sifting through my belongings to triage them in to 'Do not need', 'Need', and 'Nice to have'. I have carried out this exercise twice this year so far, and each time I do I feel better for having recycled items or sold them to other people who want them now. Owning as few items as I need is my objective, and I don't want to have to spend lots of time triaging in future! Minimalism is an ongoing process rather than an end state, at least for me.

I definitely relate to this. Keeping my focus on my needs vs my wants is liberating. Your mind tends to set its attention on what is actually essential rather than dabbling through millions of permutations. It adds to objective decision-making as well. I am trying to apply this to my educational needs; I tend to think I need to study and learn everything, but this sometimes wears me out, and I procrastinate. I would love to understand your journey through minimalism.🙂

Elizabeth - just a quick note/comment; I so admire how you can put your thoughts out there in public! What I perhaps most "admire" is that have actually given them enough thought to organize and verbalize them. I personally think doing so is ultimately both cathartic and healthy, however, I really struggle with all elements of doing so. I actually fear that most of us just aimlessly wander through this adventure and really never much think about things, let alone organize and analyze our preferences - both good and bad. I guess all I am trying to say is - well done!

For the last few years I've been slowly decluttering and getting rid of more and more stuff, but it feels like a slow boil to death I'm avoiding instead of maybe just taking the plunge. For the last 3 months I've been telling myself daily I'm going to become a minimalist and I can make a fun video about it so I need to plan it, but now I'm wondering if it's just an excuse to not rip the bandaid off. I think it was the "kill your darlings" quote that got me. I am so overwhelmed by the constant clutter but can't let go of the fear of "what if I need it". I think it's time to yolo into it. Thanks Liz, you da best. Banger video as always!

@@AbhishekRanga It's easy to clear it that doesn't mean you'd get a scholarship for medical school. I can't afford medical school and education loan plans here for medicine are pretty much non-existent. You may have cleared it a couple of years ago when there weren't that many candidates attending the exam but currently, in 2020/2021 almost 2 million candidates are interested to get into medicine. The syllabus for the exam is easy but the competition amongst candidates is hard so cutoff scores are very high. Also, I meant that I've been preparing for NEET for 2 years since 11th grade this year it'd be my first attempt. Not to mention the quality of online classes here since the pandemic. I've honestly studied almost 60% of my senior year syllabus by myself without any help from professors or teachers. So, it is a difficult exam especially for students of 2021.

I've become a minimalist over the years and it's so freeing, I'm still working on it and how I wish my family would be more minimalistic but I'm only interested in buying things that I truly need and will use. For example, if I need a pen, I will buy just that 1 pen and use it up until I get another, rather than having loads of pens lying around. I'm also a big thrifter and prefer to decorate my home from thrift stores and when I do need to get rid of something I don't throw it out I will donate to my local charity shops. The one thing I do admit I have troubles with are books, but I'm starting to only allow myself to buy a book that I truly want in my collection and will re-read, others I borrow from my local library.

I love being semi-minimalist! It's just that I live with family and they have a hard time, like really hard time, opening up to the possibilities. They have, but not enough according to my mindset. I used to have a big hoarding problem, and I still do. But, every so often, I will look at what I've hoarded and gently kill the items I longer care about by throwing them away or recycling them. I really admire your character! I like you for who you are, which is artistic, dedicated, emotional, genuine, authentic, intelligent, hardworking, and so on. You're doing your best and it shows! Best of luck to everyone reading this. BUT I feel like sometimes I could benefit from being less minimalist, especially when it comes to physical papers and files. I am running out of space in my home and I have been putting off reorganizing everything since I simply do not have the time or even familial consent to do so. I really want to sort all my physical and digital clutter. I'm pretty good at mental clutter. This is a nice topic to talk about, thanks for sharing!

Some people hear “people who own or believe they own things tend to over value them” but what I hear (and experience) is that people who *don’t* own a given item tend to *under* value them. What they should study is giving people a fragile heirloom and then see how they treat it, long term, based on whether they are told it’s theirs or not theirs. I think owners who want to sell a cup for $8 probably have a cup worth $8. 🤷♀️
