    I have been conscious of digital minimalism for a long time, everything digital I have is extremely organised and uniformed. One thing I would recommend to anyone trying to be more conscious of your digital footprint is to make a note with every single website you have an account on, once you have made it go through and delete all the ones you no longer need.

    I've used the GTD method for half a year now an it really helped me being organised like I've never been before (even though I was quite organised before). This method really helps managing tasks better. I agree, managing to-do lists with emails is really useful and clearer. I still use Evernote as well so everything has its own place, I like it that way.

The moment you star using your phone or similar less, you will have more free time, and it is important to have some kinfld of plan for that, otherwise it's easy to fall back in the old mindless consumption habit!

    Loved this video mate, I have a very similar approach to my digital minimalism. Just a quick note to anybody “backing up” content; it is only a backup if you have two copies. Transferring files to an external drive isn’t a backup, it’s just a single copy and thus isn’t actually backed up. I would recommend having two drives, one that is the copy and the other is the backup, ideally kept somewhere away from your property so in case of theft or damage you don’t lose both. A digital backup is also great and can be accessed remotely.

    I like to keep things simple. Helps to stay focused and really get the most out of your time.Just do this:Set up your real life and digital environment for the purpose you want to use it for.Only use things/apps, that serve this purpose to reduce friction.Always look for those tiny distractions during your working process and get rid of them, so they no longer can distract you. That's it. It is that simple. Just try it out and you'll see the benefits of living you life that way. It is just a matter of awareness of the things you do each day. Which ones will improve your life in the long run and which do not?Greetings from Germany.

    I really need to get rid of my excess computers, because I was kinda 'collecting' ThinkPads and I've now got too many. I can list the ones I use first: I have my "best" ThinkPad, a T440s that i bring with me when I travel. My X220 that I use at home on the couch because of the neat size and the dock which I charge it in. My Yoga S1 that is at my parents' house whenever I visit, so that I don't have to remember bringing a laptop. Also my X201i which is a dedicated music PC in my bar at home. And that's about it. This does not include my two desktops, my main minimalist blacked out "gaming rig" (rarely play games anymore) and my HTPC for my TV. I also have a couple of T420s, couple T61, a T43 and an X301. These are never used and could probably be sold, although the T43 is a novelty being a proper IBM and rare to find. So I might keep that... maybe. help. Oh and also an L440 at work which is my private laptop that I can install custom software on since our corporate ThinkPads are locked down. Working as an automation technician I use a lot of different programming software in the field.

    Man! At 7:44 the change in the feel or something for the square space portion was awesome. Such a different perspective for me as a viewer, I’m so used to you addressing the camera. That zoom in and what seems to me as a technique change from the previous scene was so cool, felt like inception lol, a layer within a layer. I don’t know much about cameras but I know when something is rad! Love the content, I feel like I’m writing a yelp review. Anyway, not deleting.✌🏽

    The need to get rid of stuff, clear our devices and tidy everything around us is a sign of lack of clarity in our mind. Organising our surroundings is relieving, but what is really needed is introspection and sorting out our thoughts and feelings.

    Awesome video! Quick tip on notifications on your Mac: if you don't ever want to receive notification for any app (like myself), instead of disabling it for every single one, you can go to system preferences -> notification -> do not disturb -> and then enable it automatically. I have it set up to enable automatically from 4:01am until 04:00 the next morning (that's the only way I figured out to always keep it on).

    Don't waste your potential, because potential not acted upon turns into pain and depression. Whenever I make consistent progress with my KZread channel I feel most fulfilled. Even though I'm just starting and my videos go practically unseen I stay at it. Tom Bilyeu says success is being able to accept yourself when you're by yourself. Taking consistent action will get you there. It's worth it.

    Going paperless has been huge for me, I constantly take notes by hand so I bought an iPad Pro + Apple Pencil and it's cut down on my use for notebooks big time. Plus I used to have a 2-3 different colored pens since I preferred to differentiate and highlight specific things in my notes but now with the Apple Pencil I have every color and highlighter that I'll ever need in one pencil. I would highly recommend it to anyone who can afford it, it takes about a week or 2 to get used to, but after that you'll never go back. I've even taken drawing up as a hobby on the iPad since it's such a pleasure to use, it just inspires creativity. I find myself drawing more than I ever have and not just watching Netflix/KZread like I'm prone to doing on my laptop.

    If you use Facebook, the Social Fixer plugin is a must. You can hide parts of the Facebook page that you don't use. I use it to hide the stories tab, ads, the birthdays and all those eyesores. Essentially my Facebook homepage only contains just the news feed now. But then again, this is Matt's channel. I guess everyone here knows Facebook is cancer anyway. I just use Facebook for the Spongebob memes and for communication with people in college. Edit: i forgot to mention, the best thing about this plugin is removing the 'people you may know' tab which is just god damn creepy

    I haven’t finished the video yet, but a friend showed me to go into the accessibility settings of my iPhone and to setup the triple click home button to turn on black and white mode, it makes everything black and white which helps eliminate the urgency of all the red alert dots everywhere. The colors have been design to create sensory overload I think, so this tip has really helped to make it easier to not get distracted and constantly be picking up my phone.
