Moving stresses me out, so not owning a lot of things makes it much easier. I don’t have seasonal or monthly cleanings, I just keep everything generally decluttered.

Teddy Roosevelt's quote that Comparison is a thief to joy is so fitting. I find that not comparing myself and what I have to other people or being concerned with what other people think or say about my choices and life are keys to being comfortable happy and satisfied with me. I do care what respected friends and family think to an extent but strangers, acquaintances and the like I pay zero attention to. It is very freeing once I could do it consistently.

2019-2022 were my years of Minimalism. And then I moved back to my parents home. The stress and anxiety made me need more stuff. And then I started accumulating things I don’t need, duplicating just in case I loose one. Now I’m at a point where I want to go back being a minimalist. Hopefully by end of 2023, I can finally declutter my home and keep things minimal ✨

Congratulations on passing 100K subscribers!! Great video as usual. Like you, I can't work if things are cluttered. In the middle of a big all-house declutter right now and am finding so much joy in assigning ownership to things my daughter wants to hang on to, so now they are hers to manage. And spouse is being a really good sport about letting stuff go, which I know he is doing solely for my benefit. Love the "Burner" email idea! Also, like you I am de-committing to many things these days both large and small. Wanting to create a clean slate to open up new opportunities for the future.

I've just recently discovered your channel (3 days ago), and even though I'm 17 and can't yet apply most of the principles you discuss, I enjoy the calm, clean ambiance your videos foster. Playing your videos in the background helps me feel more at peace and connected to my inner self. Your videos are like a meditative experience. I've found myself more productive and organized. Thank you, Nicholas!

No joke, was trying to predict what you would say to click the like button and I though "give the like button a ninja kick." Pretty close. I try very hard not to do chores on the weekend. Chores like laundry, groceries, batch cooking are all during the week. Friday night I reset my apartment after work. I dust, do a bit of batch cooking, dump trash/compost/recycling and vacuum so I am all set for the weekend.
