I think most of us are pretty reasonable as to not expect others around us to adopt a minimalist lifestyle. The problem comes in when you live with Hoarders. Its one thing when someone keeps some "just in case" items and another thing when someone holds on to so much crap that expired food occupies every cabinet, rooms are completely in inaccessible, the back door is blocked and there are goat trails in the hallway. My Dad isn't a minimalist in the slightest sense but his possessions don't infringe on anyone else on the house. My mother however has completely taken over and makes the house look like a department store and storage unit. She flipped when I tossed some expired food to make space for something I was going to use. It's embarrassing to invite anyone over and the house is so uninviting, not to mention everything is twice as hard to do because there is so much crap that has to be moved just to do basic chores or cook. My advice to anyone in this situation is to temper your expectations with those around you and start working on moving into your own space.

I used to be a hoarder myself, but seeing how bad my parents’ hoarding tendencies slapped me back into reality. It’s not fun when you’re the one who cleans the house 🙃

I can’t explain how frustrated I am living in my home with my husband and grown son who are anything but minimalists. It’s literally like pulling teeth, if not harder, to get them to declutter anything. Because I’m married I cannot just declutter the house as my husband thinks everything we have is necessary or if we have duplicates we may need them someday. I honestly sometimes break down and cry as the stress and anxiety I’m having is overwhelming. The only things I can declutter are my personal belongings, ie. mostly clothes, shoes, jewelry and similar. I’ve been trying to declutter our office which is basically a storage room for junk. I have an autoimmune disease which slows me down so much and I have barely any energy as well as pain on a daily basis. I love videos like yours and that of others but there are times when I’m watching them and I’m just getting more frustrated as I can’t reach my goal. I really appreciate you doing this video as I’m sure there are others in our same situation.😊❤️🙏

Hi there. Now I don't know your exact living situation but it could help if you could explain to your family that having less stuff is important to you. That it could help live a simpler, more enjoyable life because you feel overwhelmed by your things. Of course they still might not listen, my family certainly didn't, but I just decluttered what I had control over and made peace that the rest of the apartment does not reflect that. However, I did realize that my family started to declutter some stuff as well after seeing how tidy my room was and how easy it was to maintain that. I wish you much strength. Do what you can, it is enough.

If the reason behind your husband's refusal to declutter is his just-in-case mentality, then you need to address that. I would suggest inventorising everything you have in the house and identifying their usage purpose. It would help your husband to realise how many options he has when a certain item breaks down/emergency happens, and he will be more willing to let go of the really extraneous stuff. But if it doesn't work....then you need to let it go, for your own peace of mind. Just create a clutter free space of your own and leave him to enjoy his junk lol.

Sorry for the long response in advance. I'm a minimalist currently living with my partner who grew up extremely poor so he has a hoarder's mentality of "I need to keep this in case I need it because I don't know if I'll have the money to replace it". I also don't know your guys situation, but I feel like there might be a case of conflicting mental health needs. On your side is just the very fact that if the clutter is bringing you to the point of breakdowns, that's a serious issue of damaging your mental health, which your husband needs to take seriously if he cares for you (it might sound harsh but like, it should be a simple fact that you don't want to do anything that causes your partner mental harm let alone a full breakdown). As well as the fact that you have an autoimmune disorder, living in a cluttered house makes it so much harder to clean can negatively affect your physical health, which again your husband should care about. On his side, if he grew up in a situation similar to that of my partner's or has some other deep rooted childhood problem, he will need work over time to address and I'm always a big advocate for therapy. In the immediate, having an emergency budget might help, or like showing that you can sell duplicates for those "just in case" needs. Def agree with what @Evelyn Teo said above. I would also add that even just going through all the stuff that you have to keep and finding proper organization and aesthetic homes for everything helps a lot (with or without your partner). My partner is messy and when he moved in with all his shit, it stressed me out how everything piled up and he just wasn't good at cleaning. At some point I decided I couldn't live like that anymore and without throwing out anything (unless I got his permission) I took note of what he used a lot and what he didn't and found homes for everything that was both easy for him to find and was aesthetic. I installed shelves, got nice boxes, etc. So even if he doesn't clean, since everything has a designate spot it takes so much less time and effort for me to. Our apt building also has storage lockers we can rent, so we did that as well and that's where I put most of his "just in case" items. But yeah, honestly, ask your husband for help to inventory everything (you can even phrase it to him in a way he'd be willing like "what's the point of having just in case items if we don't even know what we have/if it still works," it's kinda like double checking your emergency medical and food supplies on regular basis). and if he still refuses to get rid of duplicates or unnecessary items, then maybe you can box those up separately, keeping the better version more easily accessible, and store those in harder to reach areas to leave more room for other stuff. And honestly check in to see if he forgot you even had some stuff. That's a sign that he might be more willing to declutter.

Oh god, I completely sympathise. I didn't think there were other people in the same situation! It's hard living with a maximalist, all I can say is that in my situation it's taken a long time but my other half has slowly started to declutter 👍 not at all on the scale I want but it's a start! I'm sure I'm time your family will see the fruits of your labour and want to get involved themselves. Lead by example I reckon? Good luck 🤙

After watching a lot of videos and channels on minimalism, I’ve come to the conclusion that I am more of a maximalist. I learn about minimalism because of the intentionality behind it, the aspect of quality and doing the most with your time and resources. However, I live in bright coloured home with things that make me happy, because of memories connected to those things. Not every maximalist I know is messy and dirty and not every minimalist I know is clean and lives in a dust-free home. I think for both, intentionality is a keyword in how you experience it.

in apartments like in new york city,. stuff also invites bugs of all kinds because everyone lives so closely together and you will always have a dirty person in the building. when your house is filled with stuff, bugs find more places to hide and it is harder to clean crumbs off the ground/surfaces as stuff is overloaded there. if you also move often, moving with stuff is a huge nightmare. so minimalism depends on many things, including the city you live in. lastly, remember one thing. when you bring stuff into the home, that is each square footage of space you are paying to rent that space for that stuff instead of you using it to openly walk around/about. no one has thought of this before in this angle at least never heard anyone say this but each item represents a rental/mortgage fee on your property.

You are SO underrated! I wish you had more views! You have inspired me in my minimalism journey. I personally follow spending more money on investments . And in doing so, i make sure that i t looks good. Very solid advice!

I was needing this video. I live with my parents and it's hard being a minimalist with maximalists

When you said decluttering issue, that hit hard. As this is essentially what some minimalist identify with. I live at home and am very fortunate that I have parents who respect my space and I respect theirs. I just help the, to understand the importance of not letting our things over take us. Declutter and breath happily.

“Remember the tabs she had on her laptop? Atrocious.” I laughed out loud at that one. Reminds me of trying to ever use my boyfriend’s laptop. Scary.

I love your videos - this one is great ! "Minimalism starts with you." It builds compassion towards others, not a war with others' realities. Tough, but minimalism can cultivate genuine compassion in a human. Thank you for that episode. :)

Enjoyed this. Thanks goodness I now live alone. And I love it - would not live with a maximalist ever again. The worse is when some people have a lots of things, because one.......day...... they might need it. Although the day for needing never comes. I buy and keep what I like and actually use. Enjoy my simple but rich life - easy to keep my studio apartment clean, no debt and have all the free time I could ever dream of. Less is more - how true this is. Kindest greetings from Switzerland.

This is so relatable. I appreciate showing some of the cluttered spaces. Sometimes, I am embarrassed to film in those spaces but I've come to accept that that is what my space will look like living with family.

I love 'never too small' as well. Another nice video.

OMG, I absolutely LOL'd at the 'move out' line. I definitely have that motivation at times. And I definitely have a 'declutter issue' at this point :-) Totally appreciate your message of accepting differences.

I laughed so hard when you said “atrocious” ! Haha 😆 Sooo many tabs !!

Great video. Another issue is when your maximalist significant other has so much stuff and is so disorganized that they misplace something of value and it then costs either a lot of money to replace or we have to spend time searching for it. Then when you present the idea of taking the time to declutter and organize things to avoid this issue later, they are not interested. This is incredibly frustrating!

@Londonfogey

If that happens I get asked 'where did you hide it' or 'you must have tidied it away somewhere' etc. Clutterers never seem to understand that things get lost because they just get left lying where they are dropped.

Maximalism is not the same as Clutter, disorganized and hoarding according to deidre sullivan :A common misconception is that maximalism encourages hoarding items and overstuffing rooms. While it embraces the idea of excess, it's not in the way you might think. It promotes repetition, patterns, bold palettes, intricate graphic details, and one-of-a-kind possessions. Maximalism is a loud style composed of mixed patterns, excessive, but curated collections, and saturated colors. Its strongly opposed counterpart minimalism encourages paring everything down to its bare minimum, but maximalism encourages utilizing your space in the boldest way possible

I love how you pace your words, it is so calming. Watching your video to better understand how to cope living in a maximalist household.

Ah, it’s so fun to see more of the context of your life! I like to see the contrast of the “normal” or messy spaces with the little oasis of peace you have created for yourself. I always appreciate your humor and visual storytelling.

It's funny. I wanted to organize my home so I started watching videos for inspiration, but I felt so frustrated that I thought, the only way to feel better about my space would probably be to get rid of everything as I always felt overwhelmed, then I came across videos on minimalism and I found the answer to my organization problem. I needed to purge my home of all the unnecessary things. I've started doing that and my anxiety is gone. I feel such a weight off my life since I started getting rid of stuff and feel so much better about my future. I look forward to organizing and cleaning my home and I can finally relax without feeling like I should be doing something. We are a family of six and not everyone is in agreement with what I'm doing (especially my husband), but I will continue with whatever I can control. Tfs...I really like your content.

This is actually very sweet. I don't like ideas or movements that alienate yourselves from others.

I live with a maximalist. As a compromise, I keep my bedroom very clutter free and we have a house rule that things can't be left sitting on surfaces - items must have a home. Most of the time this works well.

Smart young man living at home. Better to live at home so you can save for future. I hope you are saving....my youngest son, did not save while living at home. He was too into fashion, cars, girls. 😁 Older son did so. Okay home is cluttered because business related. Emma, NYC

I really love your videos! It's refreshing to see another minimalist that is more in tune with how I practice minimalism and not judging and verbally attacking me because I own a toaster (lol that really happened).

the b-roll on CKSPACE videos is always so good

I'm glad that you addressed the objective of minimalism! I kind of have a low opinion of people who take this as a trend without having a clear purpose or because they are merely trying to justify their lack of belongings.

Growing up I didn’t know what minimalism was but my dad hates having excess stuff around; my mom loves surrounding herself with stuff. Every yr my mom took a trip to visit her sisters my daddy used to throw away everything ( now my mom doesn’t buy stuff she doesn’t need) LOVE MY DADDY.

Don't know why but I like the way you speak. Very stable and humble

Not a minimalist here, but I find minimalist perspectives very helpful in my daily battle with the clutter monster. My grandparents were avid collector married to spartan minimalist and madly in love with each other to the end of their days (90 and 96j years old). Their lives were different and they gave each other time and space to be their own persons. Their house was a good size and they had common rooms and they had their own areas. The common living areas were very clean, tasteful, not minimal, but not cluttered. Grandma had the run of the attic where she kept most of her collections and she would rotate pieces in and out to and from the common areas. She liked to do international travel and cruises and brought stuff home. It made her happy. Grandpa had a den and bedroom that were his and had very few things. He rarely bought anything new preferring to repair and reuse. By the time he died he had a bicycle that he had actively ridden for 30 years while his friends bought a new bike every year. But they gave each other the space to be themselves and didn’t try to control each other’s personal styles. Their lives were somewhat independent and they really enjoyed the time they spent with each other. Maybe a weird marriage but it was 1000% successful.

"Pack up backpack, move out" 😂😂😂

'Minimalism starts with you, not your surroundings.' That is so true, and that is why this is the best video so far I have found on this topic. A true minimalist should be able to peacefully co-exist, if he has to, with an extreme hoarder, because minimalism is a Stoic philosophy about one's own inner being, not the kind of house one lives in. I have long since given up, for example, getting my wife to change her clutter habits which were driving me mad. I simply say to myself 'yes there is clutter, but it does not affect me or define me' and try to retain a sense of inner calm. I realise also that my 'ideal' home where everything is perfectly in order and to my own taste cannot co-exist with other people; if I want that I have to live alone in 'splendid isolation' which comes with its own problems as well.

Thank you for being honest and sharing your experience.

I love watching your videos while I declutter on weekends.

If overwhelmed with other peoples' clutter, I find it helpful to ask myself, 'why do I want a tidy, ordered, uncluttered home?' The answer is always 'to have inner calm and peace of mind.' Note that it is INNER calm. One day after getting really stressed and depressed about clutter, I just said 'I choose the inner calm regardless of the external circumstances. I don't need them to change in order for my mood to change'. It's been difficult but I find the more I do this, the easier it becomes. Being obsessed with tidiness and order can be just as bad as being a clutterbug.

Omg this really hit home for me because I still live w my parents. But I REALLY want to become a minimalist. And it seems almost impossible to become one because whenever I tried to get rid of clothes my parents say that I’m wasting money or perfectly good clothes even tho I wear 20% of my closet. I want to get rid of things but it’s hard bc they’re always like “we paid good money for that” and I’m like 😑 this entire dresser is EMPTY. But I wanna get rid of stuff and completely redesign my room into a minimalistic space but it’s HARD to declutter living w maximalists XD but I’m always understanding and I’m excited for the prospect of making my room minimalist XD anyways thank you for this video ! You’re so underrated !

Thanks for your open mind and inclusiveness. My friends are maximalists, but are slowly starting to understand the benefits of intentional choices. I don’t try to change them, as I was like that a few years ago and my journey is on going. They just see how much flexible time I have, and that small changes can have a positive impact in our daily life.

Co-exist, not move out, that the point

You're confusing maximalist with messy and cluttered. Have you seen what good maximalist style looks like? It's supposed to be a cohesive mix of colors, textures and patterns that when done well, can be just as freeing as minimalism. It's actually harder to pull off good maximalist style in a home without making the inhabitants feel overwhelmed in the space.

Great video. I struggle with this kind of situation a lot lately. My issue is mostly having to clean a more maximist space. I live with my girlfriend and while I don't mind doing my share of the cleaning, sometimes it irks me having to move 13 separate items just to dust off the top of the TV stand. Quite a few spots in the home are that way. It almost feels like I simplified my life, but can't live a simplified life because I have to live in someone else's complexity.

I found this encouraging! Thank you!

I've seen many of your minimalism videos before, however the grace and gratitude flows throughout this one...just so nice to see :) Good work man. Keep up the amazing work. Love from India. :)

This articulates my thoughts precisely! Particularly relatable in an Indian household, where growing up we have learnt to value and prolong the life cycle of products. Seeing the visuals of your home made it real and brought acceptance for my own environment and family. I subscribed today 😬

Such a good video. Loved it.

Love your thoughts! Watching from the Philippines...

I couldn't pick up and travel at a moment's notice. I'm a musician, I have instruments and related gear. I can't just work from a laptop. But everything has a purpose. I don't shop (I may have spent an hour in clothes shops in total in the last year), I don't spend a lot of time playing games or on social media, we live fairly simply. We have a lot of stuff, but we're working on it. Quasi-minimalist :)

Family is one thing, but messy housemates who are completely oblivious to their hoarding and mess... I could never go back to that. It is fine for people to live how they like, but sometimes that needs to be done... separately. As a minimalist I had all of my belongings crammed into a single tiny bedroom, and was unable to enjoy any of the benefits of minimalism, because my housemate had run of the entire house and wouldn't change their habits or behaviour. My partner and I now share a house together, and have shared values, and respect each other's space; it's a dream.

Your videos are always so helpful
