good point!

I used to be super cluttered but then I moved in with my minimalist bf. He only has one small clothing rack with ~20 articles of clothing, a bed, 2 chairs, desk in his room. I was surprised how quickly I was able to adapt with paring down my clothes (about 25 items) to fit in his clothes rack. From watching him, his rules are: 1. Keep it clean -He does laundry twice a week, which includes washing sheets/towels once a week -We clean the kitchen/counters/glass stovetop/sweep + swiffer kitchen floors/sink/dishes after EVERY time we cook, about 3x a day (this is a college apt, things get gross quickly since everyone cooks so much) -Clean bedroom daily, everything has a place, vacuum/sweep floors 3x a week because things get dusty -Deepclean bathroom weekly, sweep bathroom floor 3x a week -Since he only has a clothes rack, we hang all clothes immediately after taking it off and never leave things like socks on the ground, clothes on the bed. Clothes are either being worn, in laundry basket, or hanging on the rack. I’ve never found it so easy to keep a room clean before and laundry is so easy! 2. Keep it simple -Limit clothing to 20-25 items for whole year (for him) or season (for me), minus thick jackets which are stored away and not in season -Batch cook sauces and freeze (homemade pasta sauces/bolognese, takes 6h to cook, lasts him the whole month) -Tight fridge management - use up kitchen items, condiments, snacks ASAP, never buy things you’ll only use once or will clutter up counters (spices, sauces, especially for making very specific ethnic foods) - this keeps grocery bill super low -Aesthetics of room should follow a cohesive theme. For example, our room is white surfaces, black legs, so we only get furniture that follows this theme. 3. Keep it cheap / reuse when you can (He cuts down Amazon boxes to size to use as underbed drawers) -Everything has multiple purposes -Craigslist is your friend for cheap furniture 4. Lighting -Get some nice lighting fixtures/bulbs, they add so much to a room -Get dimmable lights that can be controlled by app or voice -This is the only “aesthetic” thing we splurge on, it totally changes a room -You want this lighting to be as practical as it is aesthetic. Make sure every corner of room that needs lighting gets it. (Ex: more lighting near desk, less lighting + dimmable lighting near bed)

Well came here to learn something and leaving this place learning more stuff thanks 💪

The food bin w/the charcoal insert... I didn't know these existed! What I do is, scrape moist food items such as kitties leftovers, or potato peelings into a plastic sack like a Wal-Mart sack, and put the sack into the freezer till trash pick-up day. It freezes fast enough it does not cause anything in the fridge or freezer to smell!

Best line: "Mountain of junk living RENT FREE, that I was paying for."

The vacuum thing. I _felt_ that🙌🏻 I don’t like debt, but I broke down and bought a Dyson on a charge card. I made a plan *on paper* to pay it back before the promo period ended so as to avoid paying interest and I’ve never been more satisfied with a debted purchase IN MY LIIFE, lol. I highly recommend-especially if you are in a small space-that if you can get your hands on something cordless and quality, to do so. _ASAP._ It made the biggest difference for me and my tiny space and most days I vacuum daily simply because it’s 👏🏻that👏🏻easy.

Charge cards / credit cards are absolutely fine, safe, and should be encouraged to be used wisely. Don't think about it as debt, but as an extra step to transactions where you basically have a free mini accountant lawyer that handles transactions for you - but they don't know how much money you actually have. That's how a credit card should be used. They offer protections debit cards do not, and give you FREE money just for using them responsibly. They are incredibly simple: 1) Don't charge to a credit card anything you cannot immediately pay off. This means NEVER carry a balance for interest to even be a possibility. 2) Pay it on time. I have had a single credit card from Capital One for 2 years and I have a 750 credit score for just using it in place of my debit card. I have not paid a cent in interest.

it's because "less is more"

I keep food scraps in the freezer to keep them from stinking. ...... You are the first minimalist I've seen that mentions air quality and air purifier which I feel is important. .... Another hint is to use thin bedding to make it easier to launder.... Lighting is also important for your health. Really happy that you mention real and practical concerns and applications. Years ago I adopted a habit where I only bought what I needed or stuck to marked down items. This aided me years later when I needed to get my car worked on and had health problems as I had the savings to help me. For me, saving money was the ultimate motivation behind my minimalism.

@karenael2748

@@j.r3987 Though not a sub for air purifiers per se, houseplants do cycle out CO2 and add oxygen in a home and it is worth it, it definitely feels fresh. The classics were spider plants and sansevieria, maybe vining philodendrons/pothos. Easy care, readily available plants and they do nice add a bit of color/visual interest to minimalist spaces without creating clutter.

It's interesting that huge, spacious mansions stress me out much more then smaller apartments. I like it when space is used in a intelligent way instead of filling huge rooms with unnecessary stuff.

I moved into a one bedroom apartment that is still quite roomy BUT the dryer was one of those ones that are expensive and throw out moisture all over the walls. So I bought a HEAT PUMP or CONDENSER dryer. It is very very energy efficient and basically steams the clothes dry. It is so gentle on my clothes and I can steam any bedding as well to freshen it up. The water is collected in a tray that I empty every now and again. I LOVE it!! Also plants help with air quality too!

My sister moved a couple of times in rental homes so she was constantly decluttering. Now being g in her home for five years, she said she forgot how quickly it accumulates. She just donated, posted and threw out some items.

I wanted to watch for some ideals, but his smooth voice is hypnotizing me💯.

Okay, I've watched all your videos now. This self-quarantine situation is a great way to discover quality content!

Tip with damp, install a positive input ventilation system into the ceiling. It blows air into the house from the loft and increases the air pressure which in turn completely eliminates damp issues. It really works SO well. Zero condensation on windows in the morning too

Aloha Daniel! While not a minimalist and I live in a very small space, I've taken this Covid Quarantine period as a great time to de-clutter. AND as you eloquently say, to create a home for everything. I've never been a "slob", but I definitely need to expand my consciousness around my environment. My days are very peaceful, particularly when I wake up each day feeling gratitude for my small home, then go about my day living out my beloved rituals, messaging friends, enjoying KZread videos, movies, etc. and sitting in silence. At the end of the day, anything left out that's not in its "home," I gently put away. Life is God/Good. Thanks!

Overtime I've become very organized. I love knowing where everything is and keeping it clean. My husband on the other hand is a hoarder 😭 these last two years have been hard 😭

I just discovered this channel and I really really love the thought, editing, and overall production quality for each video. Binge watching everything!

great advice and love how simple and calm your home is.

This is a great video! Thank you for taking the time to make and post!

Great video. This was absolutely solid advice and recommendations! Changing your bed more was a big one for me, I'm an absolute slob, so forcing the 2 week thing obviously improved my small room vibe immediately!

This is so helpful. I'm moving to Hong Kong where apartments are all designed into an extremely multifunctional use.

I’m with you on the air purifier. Total game changer.

Your videos are fantastic. You have a brilliant my voice for talking about minimalism too - calming, and concise. More, more, more!

These are such good tips. I've downsized to a small space recently and I could not agree more, especially about the air quality point.

This is actually great advice. I'm impressed. It's all advice I would give myself from a few years ago, even if seems obvious

Putting your compost in the freezer is a lot more effective at preventing smells then a filter would be. We keep all the paper bags collected while shopping for this.

I just ordered an air purifier trying to see if cooking smells go away as well as dust. It is incredible how much dust gets accumulated in small spaces. So, thanks for these micro apartment living videos. They are great and now I totally want to get a dehumidifier.

This is great! I love my Levoit air filters and the model is inexpensive enough to give as gifts! I feel like I walk into a room full of fresh air and I am! Better than the two larger models I bought before at 3.5x the price!!

I use two broom sticks in the bathroom which span across the shower area where I can dry clothes and sheets. For towels I use linen ones which dry faster. If you need things to dry faster - after they've been drying half a day, turn them inside out. It's all about air circulation. If you can shirts etc on hangers to dry (and save ironing) make sure the air can circulate thru the sleeves. I'm lucky I live in dry / non humid place

All the things I've been doing. Great content!
