50 Minimalist Rules That Changed My Life

[@GabeBult]

What rules did I miss?

[@maricamaas2326]

Carrying a heavy load already with as many rules 😅 One principle I had been finding useful towards maintaining order in and around the home: Doing any task that will take 2 minutes or less, immediately - without delay. Contrary: Remain aware how a chaotic space in reality develops in 2 minutes or less.

[@jdskinner]

I have found that if I NEVER buy new hangers, my closet stays uncluttered, and my clothing selections are easier to make. When I find that I haven't worn a certain item for a while, I'll throw it out or donate it and I get a new hanger to potentially buy a new shirt.

[@frodiesel0]

The Pareto principle hard at work! 80/20 rule is more of a natural law.

[@frodiesel0]

@@jdskinner instead of throwing out old clothes I made them into rags in the garage and I never buy paper towels for the garage or my projects.

[@kaynwood]

The nightly reset is called "putting the house to bed" in our home! We can't go to bed until the house has been put to bed, makes it part of a normal bedtime routine instead of it feeling like a burden keeping us from our bedtime routine.

[@palacsintakat]

Yes! I am 28 but found myself being decision paralyzed by certain stuff and started telling myself " you're going to have to do it eventually, might as well just do it now". Like with rinsing the empty peanut butter jar for recycling or cleaning the annoying reusable water bottle, etc.

[@wenkaywc]

I cut back on social media back in 2018 and haven't gone back. The only social media format I have stayed with is KZbin, I'm only subscribed to channels that teach and inspire. That's why I watch this channel. You're never too old or too young to learn new things from others. I have also recently joined the Life Reset Challenge because even though I have cut out Social media considerably, I still struggle with finding time to reach and complete my goals. Thank you Gabe for this opportunity to learn how to reset. 🙌😀

[@CaedenV]

Yeah... Social media sucks. If someone has an announcement to make, and I am part of their life, they will let me know directly. I don't need to keep up with the polished press releases that pretend to be real life. And I don't need the pressure of following my friends as if they are impersonal businesses. Broad social media is such a stupid toxic waste of time! I follow a few topics on KZbin. I follow a few message boards. But all of that is for news, education, and entertainment. Anything social is in a chat group, email, text, or phone. Life is better that way.

[@camdexta]

@wenkaywc. I hear you. KZbin is the only media format I follow. I will follow your advice now and subscribe only to the channels that teach and inspire. You made me realise that everything else is a distraction and a waste of my precious time. Plus, I really feel drained after watching some of the fearful doom mongers out there that i am sure affect my psyche negatively.

[@janeteeaker]

We have a declutter rule in our house: whenever you go to the thrift store or we shop online, we must get rid of something. This keeps clutter in check by not adding to it.

[@kristinstewart5556]

Similar approach I try to make it at least 2 or more similar items per taken to the thrift stores.

"A place for everything and everything in its place."

[@Narbyful]

Experience: We did that with our sons for Christmas once we landed in their late middle school/into high school ages. We traveled at Christmas time. They are now in their 20s, and we have great discussions about those trips, but I sincerely doubt we'd have happy, laugh filled talks about whatever toys or...stuff...we would have given them instead.

[@merryworld4776]

Great comment. I remember my travel experiences with my family much more than any 'item' I've received. Except maybe my Mickey Mouse t-shirt from Disneyland... 50 years ago. 🐀 I still have those memories.. don't have the shirt !! ❤

[@roxtendo]

Become unavailable is something that changes so much. It took some time for my people to accept it but after a couple of weeks it was normal that I respond in a few hours/days and no friendship or family relationship is damaged. You don't have to be available 24/7 and the right people in your life will respect it

This isn't new to me, but watching your videos (and rewatching) gets me back on track. And your rules aren't crazy strict, which makes doing things much more realistic and manageable.

[@KatWomanHikes]

I’m doing a massive purge and downsizing. I’m going from a rented two bedroom townhome, to renting a single bedroom and house-sharing with a friend (2024 version of Golden Girls) 8 boxes of books went to thrift store (I kept 8 boxes I can’t live without 😆 hey it’s still progress), all the clothes I kept fit on a single clothing rack (no closet on my bedroom). My bed is a foldout Japanese futon mattress (no frame) on top of a tatami mat. I fold up my bed in the morning and my workout space is right there. Nice and simple, easy peasy. I’m moving on less than two weeks and my soon to be old house is chaos, but it won’t be for long.

[@KatWomanHikes]

The channel @Samurai Matcha helped me a lot before I found this one

[@Kelly_Ben]

Good luck on your journey! I spent a year renting a room in a chaotic house with 5 other people, after several years of financial backsliding. It was actually fun, and changed my financial situation drastically. I then was able to buy a big condo, and rented out a room/ bathroom to others, passing on the same life changing opportunity, while helping my own finances. I hope your experience is wonderful!

[@elissedaily3150]

Friend sent me here . I struggle with anxiety which has become more of easily irritated. Plus I need to stop blowing money. I have already started in the areas of my house where I'm in alot. I have lots of rooms to pile stuff into that I need to work on. But just getting rid of cluttered decorations and spaces has made me feel so much better. I actually watched another video and she said don't decorate just to have decorations. Make it work and make sense. I think when you see too much or when I do it stresses me out . Now I'm gonna binge these videos

[@davidconstantine5819]

I like the idea of the box. I once read that the most important thing in a paperless office or household isn't document management software and such, it's the paper recycling bin. This is kind of a similar situation.

[@nieco8746]

I agree with everything except for Black Friday sale If you are looking for some appliances or high end purchase Black Friday sales is one of the best days to get the best discount and finally buy something you’ve been holding off buying for a long time

[@nancy78811]

You're missing the point I think. Shopping a sale for something you need is a great idea. Shopping for shopping sakes, because everyone else is shopping, is not a good idea.

[@indiakxoxo]

He’s right about the house on fire rule. I literally cleaned out everything from my room and closet and i was shocked how much I got rid of and still have a lot of stuff I feel. I’m about to do it again in a month.

[@jen2157-n8b]

I love your videos. I recently watched something on Swedish Death Cleaning. The concept that if you were going to die tomorrow, would you want your family to have to sort through it all. If you don't want them to have to deal with it then get rid of it. It has really helped me a lot!

[@davidbooher5559]

I thought that just applied to the idea of dying in dirty underwear. Vet y embarrassing. I think of my sister and her family having to travel across the country only to find my house a complete mess. I need to clean it if not for myself, but for her if I should die.

The great reset - no spend month edition got us our house deposit in 3yrs. We bought our house in 2022 ❤ were also practice upgradelessness, quality purchasing and experiences over stuff. One i would add (unless i missed it, its a lot of content) is a goals check in with yourself and your other half! Really dig into it not just a single sentence so you know you (and they!) are working towards the same thing itll help you move there with less resistance.

[@maryhaire3032]

When comes to buying high quality I agree. Here is a twist on that. Seems the modern washers and dryers don’t last very long. We found a guy that rebuilds appliances so we bought an older washer and soon after an older dryer this guy rebuilt. He guarantees them and they are simple no fancy bells and whistles and they do the job quicker as well. They were commercial grade. Cheap and they do a great job! We also just bought a new stove but it is high end and worth the money for us.

[@kart182]

[@grannyprepper1181]

I love the nightly reset. I live alone and it’s SO easy to say “I’ll do it tomorrow!” STOP doing that!

[@MattMcConaha]

the "one thing" rule reminds me of something in the fitness world called "periodization." Periodization is, as the name suggests, having periods of time where you are more focused on doing different things. You don't get your optimal gains by having a constantly evenly distributed focus on every single one of your fitness goals, it's actually more helpful to focus on the growth of one aspect of your fitness, then on another, then on another. There is a certain really high stimulus that is required to make really good gains in one thing, but it doesn't take a whole lot of stimulus to just maintain it. If you try to maximally stimulate everything at the same time, you'll probably either burn out (mentally or physically), or you'll just not actually have the ability to provide enough stimulus. Instead, keep maintenance on everything except for a couple things that you really want to improve at the moment, and cycle which things you are actively improving. It's not a requirement for making progression, but it has been shown to be more optimal. And if you generalize the reasons that it works, it makes sense that it would work pretty well for other goals unrelated to fitness.

7:04 There are phone apps you can use to allow certain numbers or secret phrases (via text msg) to come through your phone when it's on silent mode. That way family can reach you on your cell in case of an emergency, even when you are unavailable.

[@darknevangelist]

Nightly Reset - this reminds of the quote by Admiral McRaven "Make your bed". It refers to a mental health tactic to stay above water by doing the simple things so that they dont compound into bigger issues. do you have a couple dishes, do them real quick so that it doesnt become a sink full. Do you have a messy bed , make it when you wake up so you at least have a comfy bed to come to at the end of the long day.

[@ruckbarbie]

Getting rid of the 80% can be made easier if you hide or store things away from use for x amount of time. If you don't miss or need it, you can feel comfortable letting it go. We this with our tv's (for parenting, not for minimalism) and only pulled them out of storage to sell them in exchange for the aquariums added in their place. This was in 2018 and our aquariums are still thriving in a tv free household:)

We live in a world and a time that moves faster than our brains are trained for. I sometimes long for the pre-Internet era when life didn’t feel so overwhelming.

The 80% get rid of thing is problematic. Of that 80%, some is likely going to be part of your 20% in the future. It’s wasteful to get rid of perfectly good clothing.

Find a form of exercise you actually enjoy. If energy is a struggle, so the running and boxing, and try a walk in the woods or park. Exercise, especially outdoors, has been shown to have serious anti depressant affects, relieves stress, and will make you more healthy to have more energy later!

Now I live with my wife and 10 month old daughter. I keep trying to get back to this but it feels impossible because my wife considers these sorts of habits actively destroying who she is as a person. It's really frustrating. Do you have any tips on convincing someone to participate?

I try so hard to get rid of the things I don't use... and everytime I throw or donate something I inmediately need it or think about it... Once I purchased 6 phone stands for my friends, but the bases were really lightweight. I considered using coins to weigh them down, but unfortunately, I had already discarded them 😢

What do I do if lots of things in my house do not have a home, but I don't have the time to make homes for it all? And I don't have that much storage space.
