Oh his life is definitely full. Every night he eats a egg roll for dinner

[@ms_ch]

Key thing here: Places to go. He goes to sauna and baths. He eats out once a day. He practices sport at the gym. Even with a very full house, it is important to go out and have welcoming places to hang (by yourself or with friends).

[@Kuchenwurst]

Spending a lot of life outdoors instead of at home also eases the amount of items you'd need at home. Since this man mostly eats out, his kitchen is quite barebones. Not much bathing equipment needed at home, since he uses public bath. Also, reading manga and books digitally: no physical collection needed.

[@scarlettsutherland5808]

Why is no-one talking about that shopping bag he designed? So cool!

[@yessir-cop]

fr. i would lowk cop that

[@nitsirkroy]

On their website it’s only like $15 but who knows about shipping

[@Volkbrecht]

Because it is an overengineered thing that fixes a non-problem. Pretty much every normal cloth shopping bag folds to pocket size, and in order to clip it nicely to your door you need a metal door. Otherwise you'll end up storing it in a cupboard/closet.

[@scarlettsutherland5808]

@@Volkbrecht looks like it clips to itself in the folding process which keeps things neat, and you could stick it to your fridge too. I think it's neat

[@Volkbrecht]

@@scarlettsutherland5808 Neat, yes, necessary, no. And at a price point of 15 $, probably plus shipping, you have to want the "neat" a lot to prefer it over what you most likely already have, when you are a shopping-bag user. That's all I'm saying.

I live in a 40 sq ft and with only 212 items total it indeed feels too big. Problem is, at least in EU, there is no other option. 20 sq ft or less houses are rarely available or non-existent, so you are forced to pay more rent. This is why people end up hoarding.

I love minimalist videos. It gives me something to aspire to. It feels so relaxing to be in a space without clutter and dust. Stuff everywhere is just so stressful! I have been declutterring for years. This is on another level that I will not be able to handle but still it is so inspiring.

[@shellturner6857]

It sounds like his sense of minimalism allows him to really focus on the things that give him joy. And I'm sure it's an enjoyable hobby in itself.

[@bzomeful]

Is it that the minimalism allows him to focus on the things that give him joy or that focusing on minimalism, in itself, is the principle thing that gives him joy? Or it just so happens that his three main passions (design, samurai theatre and gaming) don’t necessarily require a large amount of items at home or completely mesh with his love of minimalism. For example, if he was an avid golfer, he would probably be conflicted given a full golf set has tons of items (14 clubs, a bag, balls, tees, etc). I’m interested in where he keeps his tools and equipment (rented workshop space maybe?) especially if he is designing and making his own clothes and items.

[@stevechowder3896]

Is wearing a wig considered a hobby???

[@loniagarwala9608]

⁠@@bzomeful yes, somehow it seems a “fad” because it’s self indulgent and one has to make a special effort to be minimal which itself defeats the purpose

What's not to like? He's clean, neat, organized, clearly knows what he wants in life, interesting, funny, passionate & consistent with his hobbies, creative, tech savvy, geeky, which I like... ya, I can see many ppl liking him as a bf/husband. Just the minimalist part is a bit difficult. But hey, rooms n items can be divided n she can have her section & he'll only have to mind his part. It could work if both compromise a bit. Also, sincerely hope he sells his shirt & shopping bag. They are kinda cool.

[@DaysAreForgottenBaby]

As a woman I find him attractive. I think he’s creative, independent and has very clear ideas. Having an empty home forces us to look at ourselves, whether we like it or not. I find it fascinating and I don’t think he’s lonely at all. His shirt is the best creation ever 😳

[@TheBlueClover2012]

@DaysAreForgottenBaby ya, I agree. But unlike him, I do enjoy collecting "useless" trinkets, so I just respect his lifestyle, knowing I can't/ won't do it. But those that can, might find him to be an ideal partner.

[@kenelmpijay]

I suppose the difference in value attached to items/"stuff" can be hard. Love and compromise can go a long way, but it's such a different outlook on life... Starting a family would be very complex. How many rompers would he buy for a baby?

Putting aside he's a minimalist, he has a recognisable system to me. When I lived on my own, I can tell you, I learned so much, because you don't have time. I was studying and working. I had little time to organize and clean my home, not to mention do the groceries, laundry, shopping. Like him, I put my life in boxes. Everything is organized in boxes and baskets. I'm married now, I have decorations in our home for example, but they also have their boxes I just chuck them in when I need. This guy rotates clothes. We do that too. We have our going out clothes and the everyday clothes that we rotate (gym clothes included). We also go around thinking of ways to make our lives more effective/organized and how to get rid of things, but we are not minimalists. (The way he held his phone. My guy is young!)

He is so stinking cute! You can really tell he finds a lot of pride in keeping his space organized and small. I hope he can find someone who shares his passion but kids need stuff so that may be a issue. His bag coat is brilliant too.

[@dreamingofpemberly]

That shirt is awesome. Love the hidden storage for necessary stuff on the go

[@BettinaSchnerr]

A wonderful piece of clothing indeed :-)

[@dreamingofpemberly]

I got a well-needed laugh that he got stopped at the airport for lack of luggage while wearing this. Makes a person rethink the concept of big luggage suitcases.

[@tarraingart]

my problem would be i’d forget something in one of the back hidden pockets and wash it with like a cable or something in

[@tor.exe_]

@@tarraingart Yeah I also wonder if the person in this video has had that kind of experience lol. But maybe by being minimalistic, he has become extremely mindful of what stuff he does or doesn't have; or what stuff is placed in this or that place.

I need that bagless shirt!!! I love Sibu's perspective when it comes to moving and realizing how many things you actually need or use in your daily life. Also love the gift you gave him! The fact that I knew immediately it was going to be used as a trash bag and was correct made me laugh out loud XD

I’m buying his shirt my next paycheck. These people are freaking intelligent and living life to the fullest 😂

[@CaCao_Fm]

What a blessing. I'm not the only one. I've been traveling the world since 2006. I have been living in a new country for 3.5-5 years in different regions and cities. At the beginning, I had the usual amount of things and when I moved, I sent things by delivery. But still, every move I rethought the need for each thing, evaluating whether the thing was worth moving on with me. Then it was important for me to fit into 1 large suitcase. Now I am already an experienced minimalist. I travel with a suitcase for carry-on luggage, a musical instrument, a tea set and a supply of pu-erh (this is not always easy to find in a new country), equipment for filming, I create content and my hobby - I make sacred jewelry for prayer. All this: a suitcase for hand luggage, a bag for a musical instrument and a backpack. At the same time, the quality of my life and the feeling of comfort are always available to me.

Moving in to a new place is usually one of THE most stressfull things a person can go through in life This fellow makes it look so easy. It seems minimalismd does have some good points. 😃

[@dontbeanahole]

Acquiring more than you need prohibits movement and freedom.

[@Epke1174]

You can go too far too. Some people are willingly homeless bc of ‘freedom’ where you going bruh? 🤣🤣

[@dontbeanahole]

Read “more than you need.” Obviously “need” is subjective, but most have more than they need, which tends to require more space than is needed, which tends to cost more than they have, which tends to curtail freedom.

[@jacksonsmith5490]

If moving is the most stressful part of someone's life, they are unspeakably lucky.

His folding bag invention is so cool and useful, folding into a thin enough square that it can fit into your pocket, AND magnetized. I really love it, it's so smart!

trying to become a minimalist myself. I recently moved from a 3 room to a 1 room apartment. This inspires me A LOT! So easy with the clothes to have all in the same color. Almost no other things, only the most nessesary. Love it!!🤩

[@tamiwithani]

I love that even though he's minimalist, he has all his hobby stuff. lots of minimalist talk about hobbies and the related things like "if you dont have 2 shirts and sleep on the ground, you aren't minimalist. you have a switch? not minimalist. go and read Thoreau or something "

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

I am an artist and maximalist with adhd who loves colour and the idea of living here makes me desperately unhappy 😅 however i love his efficiency and that he's designed so much of his own stuff!!

There's that overused, beaten to death phrase people think is a gotcha. As for your attempt at sounding superior (and failing), I doubt you would ever willingly participate in a minimalist lifestyle, hand over your phone, computer, and 90% of everything you own or shut up.

@@bellebonebag8096 actually it became popular in the art world back in the 60s. But of course, overtime it came out of the arts and started being a part of every day life. Edit : but yeah, I don’t understand how minimalism is a form of torture. I honestly think that everyone should do the less is more because we are overstimulated and are constantly pushed into believing we need more to be happy by the media.

While minimalism may not appeal to everyone, the reality is that we often accumulate more possessions than we truly need. Addressing this tendency is a crucial first step toward freeing ourselves from unnecessary burdens and possessions, ultimately leading to a more simplified and fulfilling life.

[@The_Rising_Phoenix_]

He is right, we all have things that we dont need. Somethimes less, is more. My old Apartment burned down, and after losing all I owned, i realized that yiu dont need so much things to be happy. And yes, you are not alone, my clothes are also all black since 25 years.

[@ABC-ed8cg]

Colors are very visually distracting and tiresome to me. I prefer clean, plain & homogenous surroundings without any colors to break up the lines. White spaces allow me to relax and think.. White also enlarges a space.

[@Fnugilet]
