My mistake, the app for the analog clock is actually called “Clear Spaces”.

Hey Nicholas, can you tell where to find this app? I searched and searched but the ones I see do not seem to be the one that you have. Thanks.

last year i deleted twitter, facebook and some online shopping apps on my iPhone. i don't even have games in it anymore. so far it's going great.

Another great video, Nicholas! Thanks for sharing these tips with us! Cheers from Brazil!

Thank you again, Nicholas!

My school gave me an iPad and it cured my phone addiction. I basically just loaded all my apps into it and deleted everything except music & gps on my phone. I leave my IPad in a stationary place. First thing that ever truly broke my addiction. (Also, no web browser ever on phone!)

I love your content! Your videos are always amazing, and love the way that you express your ideas and of course, the way you edit your videos. Your hard work is noticeable, keep it up!

Thank you for this video, I've reset my phone today and only kept apps that I really need, and made my homescreen simplistic.

I look forward to your intro!! It is so simple and clean. Great video! Keep creating

Extremely helpful! As always, I appreciate your insight on helping us live more intentionally. I share a couple of these methods, but definitely found the rest worthwhile! Great work on the video 👍

amazing tips!! and thank you for the wallpaper links! really made a difference. i'm using the white variations to hide the dock and folders on my phones (having just the bare minimum apps i use on a daily basis)

Your videos are truly motivational. It’s been over a year since I decided to be more mindful of my phone usage. I’m not going to lie, i have found myself taking a few steps back and going to the bad habits of scrolling more than I wanted to. But it’s okay, I learn from my mistakes in order not to be back to square one. Life is trial and error at the end of the day :)

Hey Nicholas the video is as good as always but can you make a video on the essential things in kitchen....

I'm revisiting this video. I'm working on this again, deciding what I use and need. I've reduced a lot and it feels almost perfect. My only game is sudoku which helps me with stress and brain function. Cleared my home screen except for my clock, weather and steps which are 1x1 widgets, so I got a lot of clear space. Then my calendar, Google Keep and screen time widgets are on a second screen. I archive messages from people I still text sometimes, but don't want in my face all the time. It clears a lot of visual overwhelm for me and any negative feeling that person/family member gives me

👍i agree with the phone beeing minimal. Working on that very good video😁

I just discovered your channel a the other day, and I'm so grateful I did. You have truly inspired me and validated so many of my feelings. Quick question, do you have a video about subscriptions, fees, etc? I just deleted most of mine and I had the hardest time cancelling my KZread premium.. but then I realized that KZread is free. And instant gratification and the benefits of this subscription just enabled my other habits- like allowing me to listen to a video while on other apps (which is usually is me shopping or scrolling on IG). So I decided to give up this subscription too. Wondering if you have KZread premium or not too? And the benefit of saving? Tysm and hope this comment made sense :))

Thanks so much! I don't use KZread premium, I could understand why one would, but I can live with the ads.

Can you please share the wallpaper link (Using Android Phone, even I couldn't find the clear spaces app)

I hope those offloaded photos are stored in more places than just the single hard drive. A true backup is two copies and every hard drive is destined for eventual failure.

redundant hard drives for your photos bro!! at least 2. minimalism is one thing, loosing your photos is not it! great channel!

Good quality and simple advices. But monochrome mode is not for me. Couldnt even use it for 10 sec.

The clock on the home screen ???Which widget?

Thank you for the great video. I hope minimalism catches on and becomes a “main stream movement” understood by everyone. (most people don’t get it.) because, we have been “Brain washed” to believe we need to be massive consumers. Always in pursuit of affluenza and trying to achieve the same level of wealth that the baby boomers did. When the “Game” is rigged for failure. I know so many people that get up at 4 am and drive 2 hr.’s to get to work. Work 10 hrs. then drive another 2 hrs. home every day, just so they can have an expensive car to try to “Show Up” everyone. I’m done with all that B.S. I don’t care about impressing anyone any more. The veil has been lifted, it is all a lie and I will no longer play the game.

Maybe it was on purpose!

This content is truly exceptional. I once read a book with related themes that altered my life's path. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze

Good video but these changes are only interior to the phone and not yourself. One can make all the changes to their phone to be minimalist but unless you make changes in your own life to be more mindful of phone usage, changing your phone ain't doing nothing.

What about Facebook and Instagram?

Hi) I can advice you to delete it as an app and log in in browser. I’ve done this a year ago and it helped! You still can watch and like your friends’ posts, but browser hasn’t got that comfortable navigation as apps so you don’t stuck there for hours.

If you are going through newest then i have some information for you I know if you are watching this video then you have nothing to work on, Basically jobless....so instead of watching this improve your life...get a job and you will crave for social media but don't have enough time for it.

You really dislike you’re phone 😅
