What are some differences between essentialism and minimalism?
@sweetchilli1077

Essentialism is your core, not goals but what you yearn for. Minimalism is a tool to get there period.

Minimalism is about having less materialistic things and essentialism is about doing less and focusing on fewer, but more beneficial activities. Quality over quantity in both cases.

Minimalism is a short-term decision making process - the here-and-now. What habits to break or replace. What shirt to keep or donate. Which entertainment show to unsubscribe from. Etc. Essentialism is a long-term decision-making process - the long-term perspective. How to prioritize my time, categorize my life, and make decisions based on changing myself internally for the better.

As someone with a degree in Philosophy and who also has a minor in Gender Studies, I really feel as though now appropriating the word "Essentialism" and turning it into a lifestyle / design neologism is really going to make talking about ideas super cluttered and confusing -- which is not a very Minimalist thing to do.
Being unavailable became my superpower a couple of years ago. It is a life changer!

My microwave broke after only 3 years. I decided after not having it for a month that I really didn't miss it. Made space on my counter too. 😍

Hi. If your microwave has gone "black" - no lights show, etc. This is a $1 fix! Open the back, and you will find a small fuse that has blown. That stops all electricity from flowing. The fuse is usually held in two metal brackets and pops out easily. Take the old fuse to a hardware store and get a new fuse. (I always have bought a "stronger" fuse). Pop the new fuse back in the brackets, and you will be back in business. * If, on the other hands, you have lights but NO heating capability - that is a dead microwave, and it is cheaper to buy a new one than to try to fix those parts, usually it will be the magnatron, or another part I fail to remember the name of. The new parts will cost more than a new microwave. Strange how that is, isn't it!

I would like to get rid of my microwave went it dies out. It seems like a pain though to re-heat soup on the stove (another pot to clean), make oatmeal or other food that would be quick in the micro. If you have ideas to share I’d love to hear them.

@@bria2596 BE VERY CAREFUL about opening up electronics! If you don't know really well what you are doing, don't do it. Capacitators in electronic devices do have the potential to kill or seriously harm you. This includes those in "harmless", everyday devices like for example microwaves or camera flashes.

I had moved into an apartment a while back that didn't come with one, and I couldn't afford to get one at the time. I found I enjoyed my food more when I had to make things myself instead of buying instant things to pop onto the microwave
Essential/Essentialism as a word itself is a term I can better relate to than "minimalism" (I'm in neither movement nor camp). It is more realistic, pragmatic, practical, intentional and purposeful, and that also doesn't evoke a bare to the bones room, with just 3 items in it.

I've always thought minimalism was a sliding scale. It's not the same for everyone. This is a better term.
I read an article years back about a team of nurses in a hospice who asked those in their care what they regretted....the number one answer was not spending enough time with their loved ones. This has been a big influence on me for decades. Once my family's basic needs are met there's no need to sweat buckets providing more and more stuff.

One of your best videos. The 'if you have 20 priorities, you don't have a priority' really was an eye opener. I'm guilty of going in too many directions at once. The word was meant to be singular. Real mind shift there. Thanks!
“The 12 Week Year” by Moran & Lennington is a favorite. It’s ideas and format for accomplishing 4 12-week years (and goals) within one calendar year are something our production company has built into our structure, and we’ve found a lot of success from it! Would enjoy hearing your take on it.

"Become unavailable" ❤ cripes! I was 50 before I realised how much I run around & take on responsibility for other people's dreams - or whims🙄 I enabled their entitled narcicisstic behaviour. Holy doodle! The outrage & pushback when I withdraw & deign to care about my own dreams & whims! 🫣 I guess somewhere deep inside I always knew that was the threat keeping me pleasing them. But now I only have half my life left, so I don't have time for that bullshit☺️ Thank you Gabe, for persisting in your KZread dream🌸
Your 20 Lessons are realistic, attainable, and easy to incorporate in your daily living🙏❤
I appreciate Gabe's positive outlook on living an authentic and rewarding life. But I must add my 2 cents. As a 70 year old, single gay man, I have experienced a great many 'ups' and 'downs' during 5 decades of adulthood. Many 'downs' were due to poor choices on my part and some I had no control over (such as my partner dying). Most of the 'ups' were because of hard work and some were just luck. I've had lousy jobs and have been taken advantage of. I tried to invest and lost all my money. I've been in abusive relationships. I don't maintain close family ties (by choice). And my few attempts at self-employment all flatlined. Yet, each time, I found a way to bounce back and re-invent myself. I guess what I've learned from all of that is: Work on your strengths, take care of your personal self and don't trust anyone too readily. Life is mainly about "self-preservation".

While you have some good points, I have to disagree with your last sentence. Self preservation ultimately fails in the end for everyone. Living life for anything but God means you’re living for something temporary. Your relationship with God is eternal. Anyway, I am sorry for the pain you’ve been through and hope you have a great week.
I loved this video👍... but at the same time I kept thinking "I hope you go back and revisit it when your daughter is older and in school and has extracurricular activities.. because then you will see that unfortunately you are "FORCED" to do things you PERSONALLY do NOT want to do ie. "waste your time on", but you "do it for your daughter/child" to help and support them and their interests and goals, so that they (hopefully) grow up into "nice, happy and useful members of the human race, and can survive on their own two feet someday." Of course we could argue that we chose to have kids and we chose to be good parents...which we did.. but it still means compromising your own wishes, needs and our most valuable commodity "time" to accommodate our childrens needs.

Ok. Lots of people on here coming down on Gabe about spelling and grammar. I get what you’re saying, however I believe that it shows you don’t have to be perfect at everything to still become highly successful. Gabe keep killing it man. I would be happy to edit your work for free if you would like.
The book "Essentialism" can be life-changing. In my opinion it's the "7 Habits" by Stephen Covey of our day. Thank you for this video.
Toxic Mother & Sister 📚 would be great! I’ve seen a tremendous tear down of a brother and it is sickening!

Really enjoying your Essentialism videos!
I love this book. I got it based on a previous recommendation by you. Two things that stood out for me: 1-Just because something might be a good opportunity or item, doesn't mean it's the best for me right now. And 2-the difference between important and essential. I've always had trouble setting priorities sss! because everything seemed important. But when the word is essential, that draws a much bigger line in the sand and helps me filter for the thing that is a priority for me, now, in that realm of my life. (I have realms in life such as financial/family/artistic, etc.) Great video about a great book, thanks!
Thank you! I needed this.
Thank you! I really enjoyed your content, as always. Have you read ‘The 12 week year’? Would love to hear your take on it?
Your best video so far :)
This book is so underrated!
one priority at work, one priority in love life, one priority in family matters... you can separate your life in different and unrelated thematics and have multiple priorities, just one in each box.
I want to see a Gabe video on Ikigai! ✨🥺✨

I looove these type of videos about books, you make me want to do better for myself and also realize I'm nowhere near as bad as I see myself in my head because I already implement many of these. Thank you, Gabe, for the great content you put out there. Ps. I'd love for you to make a video giving pointers about investing. Because of you, I'm motivated to do so soon, it's been brewing for years that I've been watching you, and even though I'm almost ready to take the plunge, I need more advice from you.
"Doing" KZread is not actually a "one thing." It's what you use KZread for that becomes your purpose. In other words, your content on KZread is what counts. 😊😊
Loved this, and bought the book! Your videos look great - can you share what camera and lens you're using?
Possibly one of the best videos I've watched for a long time. KZread suggested you to me and I'm so glad it did. Loved the content and virtually every point resonated with me. Now I'm going to binch watch your previous videos 😄
Great video. Where do you buy your shirts? 🔥
THIS! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Love the videos! Would really be interested in a few videos of you explaining in depth how to get started with rental property, such as how to structure an llc for the rental property, type of insurance you need, tips on how to make contact with a lawyer for future problems that may come up, once you purchase a rental ideas and tips on how to efficiently run it in hopes to reinvest the income into another rental etc. I know this is a long comment but would love to see videos on step by step ways to make passive income rather than just the idea of what to do. I know rental property, storage units, vending machines etc are great passive income streams, but I would really like your take on how to get started and how much money would be a realistic amount to start any of the ideas I mentioned or any you may have. Keep up the great work brother!
This is such a fantastic video! Thank you for doing this review! I'm now going to listen to the book, I've been on the fence about it, but you've convinced me. I would love to see a review of the book Company of One by Paul Jarvis.
Gabe, this was one of your best videos yet! My personal favorite by far. Throughout the entire video I was thinking "oh yea🤔" The priorities and decision fatigue parts really hit home for me. Thank you again for another great video! Your content is truly so helpful😊

Awesome life changing tips! Thank you for sharing. 👍🏽
Many times, when I participate in certain activities, I question whether or not it's worth my time. The friends I see, how influential are they? And lately, I just ask myself, is this the best use of my time? This is not living my best life. I just recently lost my job. I earned a great salary. I am now faced with possible $15 to $20k drop with a new job when I felt I needed $10 or $20k more before. I had just started taking strong action to improve my finances and planned to leave corporate life after 2 more years. Well, I am scrambling a bit but do have emergency funds and large food and essential supplies...prepared for emergency. Well, here I am. All of your tips still apply, and I'm working all angles. It's hard, but determination and tenacity will help.
Somewhere between 2-3 I think, real estate in Sydney is priced so that house hacking is virtually impossible. Most rents won’t come close to covering the mortgage here which sucks! 😂
@GabeBult Time stamp 7:15 - 7:38 The research you mentioned is credited to Dr. James Beggan at the University of Louisville. The term is “the mere ownership effect.”

I’d really like to see you do Miracle Morning Millionaires or maybe a book that you read on becoming a parent. Thanks!
Essential and great video! However, there are some quality control issues that needs to be ironed out at 6:21 - 6:23.
Can u do the video about the new thing feel , Looking old product as a new one feel as we have it in a bought date . I think thing drive me to the update product which I don’t want .
The book looks interesting. Do you need the goal book also, as suggested??????
What is the name of your water container/purifier in the video?
Didn't know till watching this video that there was a name for how I live my life: Essentialism. EVERYTHING you said struck a cord! Every moment affects my future self. I often do a tiny bit here, a tiny bit there, to make things easier for future-me. And when I decide to not do something, it's because I know future-me can handle it, but present-me needs a break. Every single thing in my life is prioritized, categorized, and pre-planned. And a major part of my time is spent on RELAXING. Guilt-free; because I've learned how important it is to be happy, healthy, and developing positively.

Not necessarily. I will have to find it in context, since you didn’t mention the time mark, but he may pronounced: Expedientially is an adverb that means done in a way that is best under the circumstances. It can also mean based on self-interest or what is advantageous, as opposed to what is right. Expedientially is rarely used….okay it’s at 10:21…probably exponentially, but it’s cool to think how either would change the meaning a bit…
This all hits hard. Gradually working towards a life like this. Thanks for the inspiration. Side note: 6 mins 22 seconds edit Qusetions
