5 Methods For Decluttering Your Life

[@KA2HRO]

I’m glad to see minimalist videos are still being produced. All the people I used to watch seem to have gone away. 😢

[@LarsDahlin]

I lived in India for a short time. One day I realised that I didn't miss all my stuff I stil had at home. I really couldn't care less if it all burned down. I had all I needed with me. Such a profound Aha-expericence. And for your video... Great as always!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thank you Lars!! Well said as always, India and Sweden are probably a worlds of difference!

[@ocin7917]

Your cat is adorable and I love how he/she is mentioned or seen in nearly every video. Gold!

[@NicholasGarofola]

She’s going to be a regular from now on 😊

[@Antody]

Get the things that matter, let go off the rest. Powerful message, thanks for that!

[@selina.1211]

Such a good video that gave me so much food for thought. Especially the resistance items, so clever. I also really liked the editing of the video with so many nice shots. Hope you have an awesome week.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate the kind words

[@gabewally]

Digging through other clothes and untangling wires to get the right one is relatable. It’s tumultuous when I’m traveling and I need the correct charger.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Yup! Royal pain in the ass

[@thechrischia]

The friction items, such a simple concept but so true. I never thought of it. Fantastic as always. Thanks for the tips!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Glad it was helpful!

[@unicainna]

I watched this video and this is my sign to declutter 😁 This is very timely as I started posting my extra stuff. Thank you for sharing good tips and you inspire me to be a minimalist

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thank you!!

[@roycelabor4339]

Nicely done Sir! You've given me some great ideas to declutter my life. Keep up the great work!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Glad to hear it!

[@zuhibsparadoxzon]

i not only did swanton bomb the subscribe button, but also twist of fated the like button. I was really interested and still am in the concept of minimalism and frugalism but for like 1-2 years, i have stopped actively working on myself to achieve my goal of becoming a minimalist. This and many of your other videos have motivated me to get back into that direction. Thank you!

[@achookangaroo]

"Would I buy it again" is a huge tool. I move every year so that has been my decluttering point. If I got rid of the stuff now, would I rebuy it in my new place?

[@BenEdwards984]

Thanks for this. These pointers are really useful! For me, having too much generally makes me irritable, especially when stuff is not getting used or is getting in the way - I'll definitely use your tip on resistance items, as I've noticed they always pointlessly return to the same place and remain unused. Here's hoping I can lighten the load some more! Thanks again 😊

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thank you!

[@roxtendo]

My backpack is for quite a time now something like my storage for cards, ear buds, power bank, disinfectant so that I have only to grab my phone and I'm ready to go. Also have the alternative to start my pc via phone and control it if I need some specific documents, scan on the go. Summer and winter I add some items like a towel that is perfect for cooling, a hand fan and for winter I have some USB pocket warmer. Its important not to pack much as possible because traveling with light stuff is always better and if I decide to buy something I have the space for it

[@NicholasGarofola]

Well said! Power bank is a great idea.

[@aveekbhaduri3802]

I love all of your videos and have made a conscious decision to give up hedonism and become a minimalist. Your videos are very well made.

[@hajnihercz]

I really like the idea of decluttering resistance items, such a great concept 🙌

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thank you!!

[@HomeworkMachine]

You're a true inspiration

[@thisisalanskiy]

Can't agree more! When the time comes, I will be able to pack all my stuff in a 23L backpack and a crew luggage to traver anywhere I want. It's so freeing to know that I don't have clothing and stuff that I don't need/use.

[@thequietcatlife]

this is the first time I heard about resistance items, and it makes so much sense in determining what to declutter

[@MikeRago]

Would you ever consider making a work lunch setup vid ( since I think you have mentioned in the past that you work an office job). Also love to see the scripture reading

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thank you!! And that’s actually a great idea, noted.

[@itshaezel]

The cat poke haha ❤ I’ve always dealt with a certain problem in decluttering.. when I sell or give away something because I know I don’t use it/need that item.. I would happen to “need” it again at a certain time then I would have to buy again… it’s making me think I shouldn’t have sold it. 😅

[@NicholasGarofola]

I struggle with that sometimes too 😅

[@lowrence.e]

BAH GOD! A Jeff Hardy reference from the top of the ladder! 🙌

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thanks JR!!

[@shco3279]

In the past few weeks my husband and I have twice had to prepare to go to the basement because of tornadoes. Luckily we had some warning and in that time grabbed our respective backpacks and gathered items we individually deemed important and when it came down to it, it wasn’t that much.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Hope you’re safe! Tornadoes have been horrible last few weeks

[@michaelbevan1081]

Great video. I do have a lot of packs but the one I gravitated to - if I had to get up and go, not in a prepper context - would be the Bugatti bag I bought from Costco. The laptop sleeve is 17” so I can’t complain, and there is also sleeve for a tablet. It’s called “ Bugatti Hybrid 2-in-1 Duffle Bag/Backpack.” Despite the name sake: for affordability? It’s relatively mid, for price. From Costco Canada, could be available in Costco US too.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Gonna look into that. Costco quality in my experience is usually pretty good

[@RicParks]

Proof merino wool shirts! Love them.

[@NickALiberty]

like the fractal case upgrade

[@thedeekan]

The only thing I love more than your videos are the gloves you use to wash pans!! Keep up the excellent work my dude!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Glad you like them! 😂

[@ArdentCompass]

I love how you ask us to do crazy things to your like button in all your videos

[@CindyClough]

Declutter friction items... hmmm - good descriptive term. Thanks for something to consider!

[@NicholasGarofola]

Glad it was helpful!

[@amymaude5798]

Okay, I had to stop the video and watch "Jeff Hardy’s wildest Swanton Bombs" Oh My! On another note: The question "would I buy it again?" is my go-to question. Most of the time it's a strongly answered NO. Happy to see Kitty and that she's first in line for the GoBag! I often play the game "what would I grab if I had 30 seconds?" (rearranging/paraphrasing great R.D. line from Heat). Thanks Nick, always enjoy hearing your thoughts on living a meaningful life.

[@NicholasGarofola]

Thank you Amy!! And yes she’ll always be the first thing I’ll save 😅

[@jillpolino6273]

Would I buy it again is very good trigger however I actually have found myself analyzing why I had bought it on the first place and realized the thought process behind that de idiom needs to not be replicated

[@abhyudayasingh964]

like watching your video make me feel calm and relaxed . Mind goes to peaceful mood i dont know why !! 👍

[@NicholasGarofola]

Glad to hear that!

[@caseythoren8318]

I accidentally crop dusted this video too. Whoops

[@NicholasGarofola]

This is going to be a running theme I can tell 😂

[@caseythoren8318]

😶‍🌫️😂

[@NOW-yy3ud]

Well, I live in an 1895 home that I've been restoring back to 1895 for 11 years and so I am a Maximalist 🤣🤣 BUT I love watching these videos because they represent my other half (I am a Gemini after all 🤣) and daydream about a Minimalist life 💝 I look foward to watching your videos 🥰

[@rezaulbari3404]

Hey Nicholas Garofola, You are looking great. Thank you for choosing a very nice channel niche and making cheerful videos. Your presentation is just fantastic! Your channel is already good, but if you incorporate some SEO techniques into your titles, descriptions, and tags, and take care of the channel regularly, I am sure your reach and engagement will increase significantly. Thank you!

[@sarahnalliannan1770]

I’ve started practising minimalism this year and your videos provide valuable guidance ! Also seeing you read the Bible is awesome and inspiring ( from a fellow Christian )

[@NicholasGarofola]

Glad you’re enjoying 🙌🏻

Love that Video man, what do you do with the pieces that were presents. Its hard for me to declutter…

[@NicholasGarofola]

Definitely. I plan on making a video about this one day

[@The_Kahsu]

Wonderful video as always. Glad to see a fellow Christian on the web

[@000dreamweaver]

Hello, thank your for your input :) can you tell me where are your shirts from? In a Video i can remember you said something about 72h to wear. Best regards Kai

[@NicholasGarofola]

Warning: they are hilariously expensive, but also the best shirts I’ve ever owned. huckberry.com/store/proof/category/p/83130-72-hour-merino-t-shirt-classic-fit

[@JAYDIZLEx]

If you haven’t already you should check out the book “ The ruthless elimination of hurry” by John Mark Comber. Anyways, love the videos!

[@moisesofficial8852]

great videos keep it up

[@rickcarr3532]

This- “next time you reach out for something, try to see if there is any resistance from other things that you can potentially get rid of.”

[@isaultra3405]

Your cat is your must have "item" ❤😀🖒🖒

[@NicholasGarofola]

I think so too!

[@magi404]

Come for the great content, but stay for the references to random fandoms I'm a part of. lol (Jeff Hardy Swanton Bomb reference was S tier

[@NicholasGarofola]

I have a lot of WWE references coming soon 😂

[@magi404]

@@NicholasGarofola hahaha love it, keep em coming!

[@RichaMahadik]

A bit off-topic, but what type of music do you listen to? Anyway, wonderful video! Thank you for the inspiration! :)

[@NicholasGarofola]

About 80% is instrumental (classical, lofi, anime soundtracks). Artists I like are Milky Chance, Hozier, too many to name! NicholasGarofola on Spotify if that helps 😅

[@ElijahsLab]

Brother we need to see a vid on that fractal terra pc build. You keep showing it in the b roll 😭

[@NicholasGarofola]

Will do, maybe on the gaming channel!

[@Giby321]

Great video and message, but I have to say your intros with the random like/sub joke and the blank face stare with the pause absolutely makes me laugh every time. Another awesome video. Keep it up!

[@NicholasGarofola]

😂

[@hayleabean]

1000% grabbing my cat before phone, keys, wallet, or even shoes 😂

[@NicholasGarofola]

Agreed. Also sacrificing myself for her if necessary 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@williampaul7435]

TLDR: The video lists 5 methods for decluttering your life: Utilize apps: Sell unwanted items through apps like OfferUp, Facebook Marketplace, or Poshmark. Reorganize: This helps you identify unused items and keeps everything in order. Declutter resistance items: Get rid of items that you have to move out of the way to get to other things. Would I buy it again: Ask yourself this question when you are on the fence about decluttering an item. The single bag method: Imagine you can only grab one bag of your most important things. What would you put in it? This helps you to detach from unnecessary items.

[@timyoungnc]

Love this and nice to see a Bible.

[@pauleckel8123]

nice kickflip

[@ralphseebaluck]

The Bible you are reading looks nice, I am looking for a nice Bible to buy. If you could share a link or name of that Bible , that would be great.

[@NicholasGarofola]

I personally use this one. amzn.to/3Xc4QhP

[@ralphseebaluck]

@@NicholasGarofola Thank you very much. It is very rare to see someone of my generation to be using the King James Version Bible.The leather cover makes it have a character.
