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.

[@aakashbalaji8320]

[@Martina-vc5lr]

I suggest you to read "Digital Minimalism" by Cal Newport, it explain well how to make it a suistanable, long term habit. 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!

Hey Matt, awesome video. Here are some tips that have worked for me, and that you and others may consider! 1. Get a GSuite Business account. You get unlimited Google Drive storage for $12/user/mo. Works with your Backup And Sync App (which for me works BETTER than the Drive File Stream App), and allows you to back up all your photos at Full Quality on Google Photos. 2. Disabling all notifications is a big win! Completely agree with you here. 3. FILE NAMING. I recently started using a file naming convention and it is amazing. I know where everything is at all times. This is what works for me: File Type Folder > Application Folder > Year Folder > Project Folder (with MM/DD) Example: Pictures > Photoshop > 2020 > 01-14 Best Cell Phone Plans > bestplans.psd (relevant resources for this PSD file are also here) Example 2: Documents > PDFs > Taxes > 2019 > 1099 - Betterment.PDF 4. For DATA BACKUP: if you opt for the GSuite Business account and use the Backup and Sync app, all folders you select will be kept backed up. If you’d like to use an external hard drive like Matt, PARTITION your hard drive and use TIME MACHINE. Time Machine automatically backs up everything on your Mac, but the backups will expand to FILL THE ENTIRE SPACE OF THE DRIVE. My workaround is to partition your external hard drive so one partition is 110% or so of your actual computer storage. 500GB storage? Then Make a 550GB partition. Use this partition for Time Machine. It will fill it up, and you can use the remaining space on the external hard drive as a normal hard drive. 5. PRODUCTIVITY APPS: Consider Fantastical & Todoist! These apps are phenomenal, well designed, and well built. They support natural language input, can be used completely separately, or integrated beautifully together. Best of luck and stay productive 🙏🏻

[@Marwen_Pekae]

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.

[@Pine_Peaks]

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).

[@WillReil]

I plan time in my day to work on specific tasks, but almost always end up watching KZbin. It never feels good after and I always wish I did what I set out to do. Expect for when a video from Matt comes out. Matt always makes things better.

[@samvholt]

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.

Came for the minimalism stayed for the ASMR. It seems that large internal storage on devices has become redundant due to the use of multiple work devices. Small SSDs like the T5 are a game-changer, fast enough to work on the go, even edit videos, then come home and plug it into the main rig without worrying about bulk and reliability. The only thing I can't get used to is cloud storage, because I need to constantly access assets from old creative projects which would mean downloading them every time.

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.

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 tried limiting my time on social media and other apps that added nothing to my life or productivity but never worked, I kept coming back when I was bored. Then I realized I am a fan of technology and I can’t stay away from it so I found different activities to do on my iPad / iPhone. Now I have at least one or two books downloaded on my books app. When I’m bored I just open the app and start reading. This has also helped accomplish my reading goals and use my down time more efficiently. Now the most used app is the books app by more than 5 hours from the second most used app. Hope this helps anyone ✌🏽

I have been working on my computer alot in the past, and came up with a good system. of course it's always changing a little. I have a promise to myself to always keep my desk-drop empty, at least on the main screen. And even if I'm an artist I have this dark gray background that feels good for my eyes.

Do I have to do my homework? Yes Will I still watch all 16 minutes of this video?? Also a yes. 😂😂😂

I am so obsessed with ASMR for OCD. Satisfying, sigh. You are always great to watch and always inspire me. Thanks 🙂

In this Digital world, everything seems practical. "At the End, the stuff doesn't work & the loop continues day after day". With endless scrolling & regrets

[@mikeoxlong4043]

16:31 - ASMR for OCD actually makes sense. its similar to the satisfaction you get after cleaning your room, or organising your files.

I just recently went through my phone, and deleted a bunch of old apps, and photos, and contacts, and pretty much everything else I was just holding on to for some reason. Now I have everything on one screen, and I feel so organized.

Using Google Drive and Photos, and most of the Google ecosystem, why don't you get a Pixel?

[@hansnotig6250]

because Google sucks at protecting your privacy... some days ago there was a big skandal around leaked google photos.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/raHEZ5qHeLSgntk

Loved the inbox shortcut. Thanks Matt

I think deleting KZbin would save many people much time.

[@saloni.sharma]

I use ONLY KZbin now (because it helps in my studies). Removed all other social media, except reddit which I use for 15 mins every day. Gotta say it feels liberating.

There are many educational videos on YT. It depends on the viewers what they promote or view :)

[@saloni.sharma]

@@navs9896ah! a fellow redditor. Nice.

[@indrayushroy1151]

Me too I only use KZbin

[@rye3248]

I didn't realize how much I needed this. I keep a clean and synced media foot print myself, but I loved hearing someone else's approach in a logical method. Makes me feel sane haha great video !!

Actually, HDD is way better than SSD in a long run. Those “moving parts” make it last longer than SSD’s limited number of memory cells that get damaged with many R/W operations. They are faster, but don’t last as long.

[@conan_der_barbar]

love the bits of humor you now include in the videos :)

Yes to asmar for ocd ppl. To be fair I watch your videos not only for content but because they are soothing. Glad to hear you got a team now.
