Agreed
"every degree counts" is going to be my mantra from now on
I’ve been a minimalist since I was a child. I visited an Old Order Amish home and loved the sense of peace and the quiet I experienced there. I decided at that young age that I wanted that peace in my home.
Your big arms give me so much confidence because I'm the same body type because of my athletic background. So glad to find normalcy in it!
I love your content sooo much. I'm sure you'll get big. Keep the good vibes.

Your advice is so practical. Not only for minimalism, but everyday life and goals. We don't share much in common, yet, I find your clear-eyed view of change and growth both refreshing and timely. I'm glad I found your videos when I did. And, yeah, I'm giving a less extreme version of minimalism a shot. Kudos.
How are your videos doing so well?! 😭 No extra bs in the description Basic Titles No hashtags or links Just pure GOOD content, that’s it. 🤯🖤

Needed this! I’ve been on my journey since 2015 and I would say it’s not quite second nature yet, although it is much more of a lifestyle now than it was back then! My habits have changed significantly as far as acquiring new things and holding on to old things. I’m so happy I found your channel- the videos are brief & the editing is on point! Your personality shines through and it’s SO refreshing to watch someone who is genuine & down to earth.
Love Walden Pond, love Thoreau, and love the king fu reference!!!! Kindred souls!
I love your editing style and your personality, you're still really likeable without being all bubbly, it's refreshing
Im so glad you mentioned H.D Thoureau, Walden was the book that made me discover the simple life and no one is giving him the importance he deserves, most of youtubers are just talking about how to declutter everything and marie kondo speach, which I personally found very empty so thank you for bring Walden to this channel :D
“He also said don’t drink coffee, so I’m done with him” lol “how do you live in the woods and not drink coffee” , you read my mind! For the first time, I’ll be hitting the little bell to find out when you upload.

I love your enhusiasm and changes of camera angles.
That one degree metaphor really got to me. I’m awful when it comes to comparing myself to others... but it’s not about them. It’s about me and my one degree.
Hi Lefie! It's Nicki from Spain. Just starting with minimalist and those nice words at the end about step by step and wait until it's second skin for you... Really appreciate it! At the beginning it's a bit exhausting 'cause you are changing your roots. Your words were just the perfect touch one the exact spot. Thanks so much!

Hi, Nicki! Spain, huh? That's so cool! I like how you said it's exhausting because you're "changing your roots." That's so right, and such a good way to say it. But it totally gets easier! Best of luck!
I love the analogy of a one degree shift making a difference in 50 miles.

lefie is one of the best youtube channels ive found this year so far - sharing with my friends
thought provoking ideas and great execution. just binged your whole channel and can't wait to see how it will grow :)
i come from a bit hoarding family, nothing could go to waste. everytime i was trying to declutter my wardrobe and throw away clothes my grandma was taking them out of trash and bringing back to my room. they weren't even new in the first place, we were poor so everything was bought secondhand. When i grew up and started to move between different flats i realised how plenty of stuff gets in a way and gradually decreased amount of items i had. I am far from black and white empty aesthetics and i own now more things than i probably like to, but minimalism and idea of simplyfying my space is for long time with me.
Minimalist, actress, director, author....you have it all girl! Your channel really stands out! Keep up the good work 👍👍 you will get big I am sure 💛
Love your videos! ❤ You're really inspiring in the way you tackle minimalism and give inspiration to others. Your videos are a breath of fresh air! 🙌😊
I love minimalism, I've edited so many things that for awhile I didn't know I had. They were in boxes, drawers, closets, etc. I feel lighter, freer.
Holy shiz, I just binged watched your entire channel. I love your content.
I love the way u think and express your ideas !
I love living a minimalist lifestyle. Just wish I would've done it sooner. I would've saved ALOT of freakin money 💸💸💸

True, I think loads of people look in all the wrong places for happiness. Most folks think buying crap and more crap will make them happy, I guess because we are brainwashed by media. When in reality, being in a cool place like the Grand Canyon makes lots of folks happy....Not buying years and years of crap from Walmart, that just makes companies happy!
I'm obsessed with your videos. Even your videos are minimalist, artistic, your dialogue is entertaining and engaging...loving this channel
I remember receiving a collection of Thoreau works, as a gift, in my early 20s Walden was my favorite. I was a walking addict, and wanted to trek cross country (TX to OR). I was just going to leave everything behind. The month before I was going to leave, an ex-girlfriend called me and asked if I wanted to go have a drink. That was "the beginning of the end". Married, child, work, divorce, bankruptcy, work, work, grandchildren. Now, I'm retired (finally), eager to travel & live out of my SUV, and work on a photo journal for the granddaughters. Needless to say, minimalism has revisited my psyche.
I'm loving your videos Lefie! I love your creativity, and the fun you add to these videos, along with being truthful it's awesome!

I love your content so much. While I’m far from minimalism (read: closer to maximalism), I am working to minimize. The ship metaphor was really inspiring and something I’ll keep in mind. Keep up the awesome work!!
Your creative and mindful spirit is inspiring. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us!
so glad i found this channel! Love your content and super chill vibes.
I just found your channel today and watched all of your videos 😀 I really like that not only the theme is about minimalism but the style of your videos are very minimalistic too. There are no long intros, no outros to follow you on 200 other platforms, no absent-minded talking and unnecessary babbling. I feel like I got more information from a 3-4 minute video than some other 20-30 minute long videos and I also got entertained. Great job 👍🏻

I need A LOT of stuff. Tools mostly, I'm self-employed and do A LOT of different kinds of work. I also do art work out of recycled junk. But I do love the concept of the minimalist.

i just found your channel and i love your videos a lot. keep making them they're so unique and smart and exactly what i need to see right now
Life advice disguised as a guide to long term minimalism.. These videos you do inspire me greatly.. Please keep going and thank you.
I'm glad I've discovered your videos. I've been looking at the last few years of my life as 'trying to start' a minimalist journey and decluttering, donating, selling, basically just getting rid of clothes, books, etc little by little... But your explanation of shifting even one degree at a time making a difference further down the line helped me to feel like even the small steps are getting me closer to where I want to be eventually. So uh... yeah. Thank you.
just finished watching all your videos, and now i'm so glad that i've clicked on the "self-dicipline with minimal effort" one on my recommended. keep the good work, you're doing an amazing job!! +1 sub
i have watched all of your video’s, they are great, honest, relatable and down to earth, no pretentious speeches, great for someone (me) who is still on my minimalist journey
I just got up at 430 am over here in Europe and hit that play button so fast, when I saw your new video! 😆😀😂 I enjoy your stories so much!
I've been on my minimalist journey for a bit over a year now I think...I think you are one of the most down to earth and inspiring KZreadrs.
I like your short, to the point, informative videos.
I really like your vibe - very funny, but also very smart.
Stay authentic! Your vlog is amazingly refreshing. It is truely as I pictured perfect vlog 2-4 min long, humorous, everyday like so I can compare with.
The whole theme for everyone for this century should be "SLOW DOWN"! Very good video.
Your videos make me really appreciative of what I have, and what I have accomplished Thank you for making them!
I just hit the notification buttom , the wit behind your videos is refreshing, will be here when you get 1M subscribers!!!!
Hi Lefie, thank you for your content. It's great to see where minimalism can lead you. I have only started to navigate my life towards minimalism 3 years ago and my appartment still feels cluttered with stuff.
Exactly! It's definitely been around for a long time. My mother has always been one out of instinct I'll say. It was just a way of life not to buy or own very much. I grew up with it , and without a label. I stumbled upon the label online when I was looking at adorable tiny homes online. Thank you for sharing Lefie!
Just finished reading Walden!! I love this video and I enjoyed your analysis of the connection of minimalism to Thoreau’s life and work
I discovered your channel yesterday and I'm in love! Great Job!
You just keep getting better and better. Love those shoes too.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! You're so right! Committing to a lifestyle is not done overnight mostly, it takes time and patience. I've been on my minimalism journey for about 5 years and still not where I want to be.Taking small steps is the way to go. I recently just figured how far I got already, by telling people that I packed just 3 KG for a 3 Week trip to Japan. For me this totally normal now, but by their impressed faces I realized that I should be thankful for my journey already. :-) Thank you soooo much!! love your content! Greetings from Germany - Alexandra
Thanks for encouraging me
Your absolutely adorable and addicting!! Im in awe that I finally found someone else who makes that same little click sound that I do. Keep on keepin on!! We will watch you!!
Now I feel like going to Walden Pond. Its only a half hour away. Love your videos!
Thoreau brought his laundry home for his mom to do! No lie! I've lived in very small spaces with not a ton of possessions my whole life. I'm 60. Never knew it was a thing. It's just how I am.
Golden words "one degree change". Thank Dear. love your videos.
I’ve just binge watch all of your videos 😅 can’t wait for another. I’m on my minimalism road, slowly moving forward Great content 👌🏻🌺✨ You’re funny
Thank you for another awesome video - really like your realistic views on minimalism and your advice. I'm on my own journey to try and become more minimalistic. It's hard at the moment, but I know I'll get there some day.
Another amazing video! Minimalism has inspired us and we are slowly getting to that mindset and it’s been about 1 year now
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing your journey and insights.

I think KZread recommended one of your videos to me and i love your editing style, your mannerisms etc. Looking forward to watching more videos :) xx
I so needed this. Prior I felt like I lived a lie saying I was a minimalist because I have not met my idea of what a minimalist is. And this video helped me refocus that this is a process
I was just at Walden the other day. I only live a few towns away so I go there often, every season, to hike,walk and swim in the sacred Walden Pond. Great video.
I read Walden for the first time 12 years ago at 43 years old. Immediately connected on such a deep level. Love all the golden wisdom tucked inside his ramblings. But, it still took another 10 years for my husband and I to slowly go through our transformations in order to be where we are, living in our tiny home that we built entirely by ourselves on our own acreage with no debt. If we had tried to go any faster, we wouldn’t have been truly ready.
Great sense of humor, intelligent. Winning. Thank you .
