10 Things You Can Get Rid Of Right Now

[@sallydixon8529]

I agree with all of it, except for the book one.Sorry I'm going to keep my books,I'm not into e-reader I love the feeling of a actual book in my hands and the feeling of turning the page.

[@ellieben4415]

Sally Dixon me too😊😊😊😊

[@lars4488]

Sally Dixon I was going to comment this, books also just look good

[@coolnewpants]

nah

[@arabella4865]

I think she meant the books that were never read or you are over with... you don’t have to go to ebooks, she mentioned the library and there is many books you can flip and turn pages with yo hands.

[@juliawhittaker8214]

Sally Dixon i

[@nope_118]

Or you just pack everything in boxes and pretend that all is fine and while you experience existential dread you can at least have it in a clean space

[@Chelsea-vc8mq]

Everything was good until you said get rid of books. Nope I need my books! ebooks are just not the same. I love the feel of an actual book.

[@sumasian3911]

same - plus i find that my dyslexia is worse on a screen

[@violetprushnev4946]

That's the exact moment where I turned off the video and said ''No. Get lost. Get out of my life. Not now. Not ever.''

[@karenadams8439]

Chelsea Broadaway I agree!

[@gigimarie41]

Haha same. I was like 'hmm those are good ide... nope'

[@Gumbier_Than]

You DO understand!! 😂

[@dontask3497]

“Books you’ve already read” **looks at overflowing book shelves and stray books across my floor** Don’t judge me

[@Patchwork_Dragon]

Stray books need homes too.

[@animemenga125]

when you watch a video and silently go "NO I NEED THESE THINGS"....and then realize your totally a hoarder lolz

[@KitsukiiPlays]

15 extra pieces for my blender? *I totally gonna need them some day*

[@corduroy99]

Don't get rid of books, they work even if your batteries are dead, or if your reader is not working. so NO!

[@erica130]

corduroy99 plus you don’t have to pay for the electricity to charge a device or e-reader

[@xIsabellaNightmarex]

i've been going out of my way to buy more books because I want to have my own home library for me and my future kids...

[@linanjiang4336]

Why would you only read a book once?

[@pelicanman96]

Linan Jiang why would you read it more than once?

[@arquillanofamvlogs2582]

you-are-the-pelican-man uhm maybe because it's fun, entertaining, it enriches your knowledge and even when you re-read a book you'll be surprise on how many lessons or messages from them you missed from reading it the first time. Books have a never ending knowledge in them and it does not spoil kids to be so dependent to technology. They don't have system requirements, they don't need electricity, no phone/laptop/computer. They're just them. They are book we can rely on. Unlike internet wherein you can hardly figure out who's lying and who's telling the truth. Sorry for the rant I just love my books. :)

[@HirilElfwraith]

i would argue that if you really like a book, it's worth keeping, but donating books you're not going to reread is a reasonable decision. also don't get rid of pens! ones that don't work, sure, but don't just get rid of perfectly functional pens for the sake of minimalism. one day your favorite pens will run out or get lost and then where will you be? not everyone can just buy more. get a pencil box for storing stray pens if you don't want to feel cluttered, but honestly you can never have too many pens.

[@EmeraldMara85]

@Invisable Soul Artists don't just use 3 pens, we use all the sizes we choose to buy because line thickness is used everywhere (based on depth of the perspective or the differences of clothes to skin) even in just a simple picture otherwise it would look flat.

[@elizabethhager9170]

The book thing bothers me when she says to get rid of the ones you have read, aren't you going to read them again? As for using an e-reader, that's just not the same thing because it doesn't feel like a book and my book's battery is never going to die.

[@RehtaehBarr]

Elizabeth Carol Hager the book and DVD thing annoyed me so much. Like great if you have no issues with internet connectivity or power outages but not everyone can go all digital for everything.

[@zoebicknell2200]

I personally have gotten rid of a lot of books recently as a result of moving house and therefore being faced with the sheer volume of books that I could no longer store. I made the decision to re-read (and read for the first time) books that I felt I had grown out of or remembered the story enough to not be too bothered about losing it. Before I allow myself to get rid of a book, I must first re-read it. It has forced me to read more books than I have in recent years whilst giving me a sense of productivity, but donating the books makes me feel better as they are going somewhere where someone will appreciate them maybe more than I did. I had an entire book series that I hadn't even touched since buying them and I realised that someone else should have the joy of discovering that world rather than them sitting on my shelf.

[@cluelessbluebird]

I don't care if book shelfs are taking up space, they are way better than digital books

[@nadahanina6346]

yep, definitely true

[@michellekraeva7260]

Getting rid of books? Hell no!

[@MahulaKr]

owning a book in real is the best thing ever! I would never put any of my precious books away..!

[@Sophie-ho1zq]

I found the book one appalling. You don't touch my books and I don't touch an e-reader

[@mpatriciaeb]

Just gonna say MY BOOKS ARE MY BOOKS AND I WILL BE BURIED WITH THEM. That's all, good video by the way. 😂

[@thatgirlsuzette]

Never will I ever give up my books #HermioneMoment

[@sophielouise1854]

"Just go digital!" Yeah and what am I gonna do when the electricity goes out and I can't charge my e-reader? I'll get rid of my books when the world ends lmao #FightMeTechnology

[@sabrinaashlynn3831]

Lmao I will absolutely never get rid of books that I enjoy 😂😂😂 I intend to make my own personal library

[@Vxjx15]

She literally said "Get rid of books you've already read."

[@katiebayliss9887]

Vivienne Joy-Reill but I read them more than once.

[@arquillanofamvlogs2582]

Actually, why not be neat and organized? Then you'll have your things with you (most importantly: your books) while also having a clean home/room. You don't need to get rid of things just to be clean you can arrange them properly and if you put it in stack place the ones you mostly use on top of the stack. You don't need to throw away stuff just to be in. Who cares if your minimalist or not? Just be yourself just cleaner and organized.

[@sabrinaashlynn3831]

Katie seems to be the only one who got my point so

[@PatriciaSilva-zh8lp]

Get rid of my books???? I think I'm about to have a breakdown!

[@Homesteadmommy62]

so buy all our books and DVD's again to have digital copies? wish I had that kind of $$$$$$$ :)

[@imaginationlord]

Invisable Soul But probably not for the same price you paid for them/enough to buy them new again

[@alicebosch3229]

You should not throw away attachments for the blender or vacuum, chances are you will need them for a recipe one day or for cleaning a shelf. If you have picked up travel samples, only keep the ones that haven’t expired, and if you never travel or never have guests than it’s probably better to just throw them away.

[@kitkatkiki677]

Please keep posting these!! I am a hot mess, and this video helped a lot. Will seriously watch this a bunch of times so I can think of more crap to toss out! This video named my biggest weakness: 1) duplicates (I will misplace one so I’ll buy another and then 10 of them show up- how to prevent this??) 2) OFFICE SUPPLIES IN GENERAL- I am a sucker for notebooks... 3) I’m becoming a teacher so I worry I’ll become a school-supply hoarder...maybe do a video for teachers on how to handle school supply clutter (it will be a fact of life, so how to maintain and organize?) 3) not just old chords, but what about laptops and appliances that don’t work? 4) can you do a whole video on clothes and how to build a wardrobe? 5) do the same with toiletries! What are the essentials for a good skin/makeup regimen that help with minimalism? 6) CRAFTING SUPPLIES-what are the essentials and what can be tossed out? 7)Also, maybe discuss the psychology behind hoarding- like interview hoarders and their motivation and maybe have a psychologist recommend some tips on how to undo these habits. I am crazy-inspired by this video, btw!! I am a messy person, and it’s something I’ve been working on lately. Hope these suggestions help!

[@scp049hasbreachedcontianme9]

*wants to de-clutter life* Everyone: Get rid of books you've already read or ones you're not going to read in X amount of time Me: 🎶Fuck this shit I'm out🎶

[@celt1954]

I'm sorry, but what is wrong with having books in my apartment? I don't hoard magazines or circulars, but I do enjoy my books......especially the older ones, like Maugham, Woolf, Wilde......

[@eilidhmacleod9125]

It’s just a suggestion! Maybe just get rid of the books you didn’t really like and won’t reread again.

[@piercedsiren]

but.... physical books are the best. i'd rather have a wall of books than a single e-reader. it just looks ..pathetic to me.i like seeing my books, they decorate, and seeing them makes me wanna read them again and again. i'm not getting rid of my books.ever.

[@atlasgaskins8010]

Save for a few exceptions, this has been the first introduction to minimalism I have seen that is ACTUALLY helpful.

[@faimiah]

Buzzfeed is always forgetting their password 😂😂😂

[@Patchwork_Dragon]

If I even dare to THINK about getting rid of one of my books I immediately slap myself across the face for thinking of such a heinous act.

[@nereidenene7731]

I read Platone, Manzoni, Dante... on my dad's old books. That was priceless and emotional. I restyled and wear my mom's old dresses again priceless and emotional. Old do not means garbage!

[@ChiiXxTohru]

Some great ideas, except getting rid of books. That's a horrible suggestion books are amazing!!!!!!!!!!! The feel of the page against your fingers as you turn it. The smell and weight. Kindle and e-readers can get lost. Sincerely a book lover (and librarian)

[@RoxiriOrSokai]

ChiiXxTohru I get lost in my books whether it's physically there or an e-book. That's such a weird statement, just sounds like old people that don't understand why online relationships can be extremely meaningful also.

[@Hibiol-of-my-decay]

I used to have a small collection of magazines, but then I get rid of them. But guess who needed them later? *facepalm

[@Cassmari1986]

I actually did declutter my book shelf and my closet is due for one as well. Also being an art and crafter, i have noticed i have hoarded papers and other stuff as well for my art and crafts box. Need to declutter that as well!

[@athickie]

This came in perfect time bc I'm moving at the end of the month 😭😭😭

[@cheetah944846]

can this be a series??

[@jers8850]

Omg I thought she was going to say audible instead of ereader and get into the “sponsership” lol

[@fabulousjenny17]

the art department of my school really appreciate when people give old magazines and picture books to them for scrapbooking and collages

[@baguette584]

*reads video title* your kids?

[@tarry_ny]

you have 10 kids?

[@mariahhoofer9794]

You can also donate magazines to local elementary schools! Teachers typically have projects that require students to cut pictures out of them. Just cut/tear off the address part first

[@bandgleek15]

Keep your books everyone!

[@angelafink6029]

Hands off my books neat freaks no offense to anyone

[@paigeb6783]

I love this video! You should make a minimalism series

[@neumillennium]

I was all ready to go ahead and get into this video but I realised I'm someone who is obsessed with nostalgia and save clothes for future trends that tend to come back 😂 I also love my VHS tapes and my books to switch to digital sorry. This was a very cool video though!

[@isabellar772]

This is perfect. Today’s goal was to declutter so yay :))

[@aryadroettning836]

FLOOR. That's where I could use declattering and schedule. .. I need more time

[@bellabiddle2902]

another really great thing to do with old magazines is sell them cheap on ebay (like in bundles for a little over the price of postage) art students are needy and collage materials are expensive if you buy new magazines every time you need something

[@strawberry2651]

the music reminds me of the video on buzzfeed when they showed us air on screen.... and the fart part 😂😂😂

[@m_vick_md]

Me: *spends hundred of dollars on books* Video: give them away? Me: lmao

[@Bree_999]

But what if I need one of these things on my quest?

[@RitualCat]

I agree with everything, except the books! It’s my dream to have a room dedicated to my books

[@ericatheepic8047]

This is the reason i love Nifty channel.

[@charlotte_6205]

If you have really old magazines/newspapers donate them to art teachers or art clubs it really helps

[@Seriously-though]

Absolutely the bast tips I've come across in too long...thank you!

[@CB-br9jc]

I decluttered today! 💪🏼I had so much crap. 🤣

[@Iheartjareddiamond]

FYI as a librarian most libraries do not accept book donations! they just are too much money to store!

[@erinmcgovern4385]

SOME PEOPLE DONT LIKE TO READ ON A SCREEN

[@yilnazbahwauneka8357]

I have that exact same pink hairbrush

[@danapamelakolega9168]

A lot of these thing are actually useful.

[@adaharrisonn]

Haha, I have that blue blanket with the white stars on it

[@honestlynope6599]

Hang onto that diffuser for your hair dryer though! Lol I got rid of mine & my hair mysteriously went curly this year... hormones. Now I have to but a new one😑

[@cassidyreice2765]

The only thing i have a problem with is the books because i would never give mine away only because i would probably re-read them eventually and its easier than going out and buying a new copy

[@CookieMonkey88]

Tiny travel sized toiletries can be donated to homeless shelters

[@julelauterbach]

Love your Intro! 😍

[@Andresfin]

Hell no! I will never give up my books!!!!! They are my life.

[@muffycrosswire]

i usually save boxes in case i have to ship something and i need a box.

[@khushidodhia3796]

The tips were really helpful but: I like holding real books! And if I use an e-reader then I have to pay for the books again! Some people don't read their books only once you know!

[@crazyshow7204]

Would love for you to do a video for our non for profit about donations etc ty

[@herself_hanna]

Storage room(for old stuffs)

[@SAMMIE_SCRIPTZ]

We use the same towels my dad grew up with😂

[@RoxyTruthHunter]

My brain simply does not absorb anything I read on electronic devices plus it hurts my eyes. There's nothing better than reading an actual book before bed. Ebook would only make it more difficult for me to fall asleep. I struggle with sleep enough as it is.

[@arinaiovu6495]

De clutter my lifeeee😂😂😂😂

[@angeloa6972]

Id definitely do this, but the hard part is SORTING YOUR WHOLE HOUSE FOR IT

[@laumaat9251]

I have a lot pens, but I use them in art, so I put them in little box and they dont take any space

[@sarahyoung7935]

Paper work letters and toys are nightmare for me to sort out plus finding the time to do it! :(

[@kamnamehrotra7984]

Omg this helped me a lotttttttt

[@alyciazamora775]

towards the end, I kept mentally shouting "noooOOO"

[@wilmaknickersfit]

My problem is that I can't remember what the cables are for, so how can I give them away? Binning is the only option.

[@EmeraldMara85]

If the label is still on, you can read from that. Otherwise just see the port part (like is it a USB or a Micro A plug) identify it, use Google as there are sites that do tell you which is which.

[@thekarinao17]

I once read online about how minimalism is something that most poor people just can’t do. Sure it’s nice to be de cluttered but things break!! You run out of stuff or have a month where you just can’t buy more cleanser/shampoo/etc and those samples are what you need. It’s what my mom said all the time when I was a kid “you won’t have it when you need it, so why get rid of it?” Is it hoardy? Yes absolutely no doubt lmao

[@cynthias.5156]

My book collection is my pride and joy

What kind of monster would get rid of books?!?! You unholy demon!!!

[@frhneil1463]

Why this video hit me up so hard 😂

[@aell_-ti1rl]

what if you have a bunch of books that are annotated thanks to your english class??

[@aishbacon4468]

I need my 4 shampoos,2 hair brushes and about 400 hundred books and magazines,thank you very much

[@wanchingho8797]

Don't get rid of the attachments!! After some years you won't be able to kind those for your model and... there's not that much anyways. But do pack them together with gadgets they attach to, so you know they are there and can make use of them whenever necessary.

[@awkwardspaceboi]

I plan on devoting an entire room to be a personal library. Screw space. Books are life.

[@PhuongNguyen-rx5lp]

Not relate to the video but 1:30 got me so hard 😭😭😭poor puppy

[@elliotmydude]

I thought this was a cool video but you will have to pry my books from my cold, dead hands. Thanks

[@sarahglover1262]

Some of these are good, but you will let my books out of my cold, dead, cluttered apartment.

[@mekamom3676]

The moment we decide we won't need and throw something out and then comes a need for it! Life is like that!so throw only that is beyond repair.

[@Катюша81]

I just want to be a minimalist... Thx

Cool Video!

Okay, but the book and CD one can kiss my ass.
