- How do you begin with minimalism? Often, the most difficult thing is simply getting started.
Just think about going to the gym, for example. It’s easy to overthink it. And come up with excuses why you shouldn’t go. An effective way to get around that is to commit to just a 5-minute workout. Anyone can do that, right? And from there, it’s easy to continue into a full workout! Remember, no one has ever finished a marathon without taking that first step.
It’s the same with minimalism. Decluttering that first item is a small win. You’ll get to experience a taste of what minimalism has to offer. Freedom, space, mental clarity. And now imagine having that tenfold, when you truly commit to minimalism and decluttering all your stuff!
It’s time to take the first step today. Let me know in the comments: what did you discard?

Cook books since I now get recipes off the internet. Love your channel!
@@kathleenlupole8546 Same here! I also used to have a lot of cookbooks. Nut now I only use online recipes. I like how cookbooks look and feel, but I hardly used them to actually cook 🙈.
Hi Peter! I’m so happy I found your channel. I’m an introvert-your channel is my cup of tea. Keep up the great work. 🙏
Edited to add: I got rid of my colorful clothes. I was never happy wearing bright, flowery, colorful clothes. Now I only have black and nude colored clothes in my closet. Basic but high quality clothes. I’m feeling much better. 😃
I stopped watching TV 2 years ago don’t miss it at all.
That's great to hear, Kathye! 😉
I've just started to get rid of clutter that I've had for years. Everything that I haven't used, looked at or thought about in a while I'm throwing away. It's a low process but it's making me feel great!
That sounds great, I hope you will feel lighter when you're done with decluttering! 😀
Just came across your channel on the very week I rented a large dumpster and started clearing things out. Thanks very much!! I look forward to watching all your videos!
Great timing, Christine! Good luck with decluttering and clearing everything out. 🙌🏻
Hey Peter, i really liked your Video about your evening Routine. It would be amazing if you could do a video of your Morning schedule.
Keep up the great work.
Adding it to the list of potential video ideas, Jarno! 😉
yes!
great tips, thanks!
Perfect pitch! Good with link throws to your other videos! One of our sheets is a little broken, will toss away today.
Thanks, and great first step to declutter that broken sheet! 🙌🏻
@@IAmPeterCook I consider myself as a minimalist since 25 years ago. It's like an onion. You take one layer away and there is a new layer under the old one.
6 bin bags of clothes, bedding and shoes donated to charity, trying to declutter our bedroom, one chest of drawers removed to make space too
Well done, Claire, good luck with decluttering! 🙌🏻
my problem is that i collect information...i always have multiple tabs open on my browser with articles, many of which i never get to read. I’m going to start by closing 2 tabs today! thank you for the inspiration!
Great idea, good luck! I haven't really made videos about digital minimalism yet, but it's definitely on my brainstorm list. 😀
I first learned about minimalism in 2013-14. I think that year marie kondo became huge so after a 7 year relationship ending, It took me almost a year to "purge" and keep what I felt was mine and not a reflective of my relationship. The biggest was getting rid of all my bags and purses. I had a lot..it was the best decision ever. I have a small men's wallet that i carry my cards and if I need to carry something, I use a tote bag. I stopped having back problems ...not sure why we men love to carry our life in our bags. I recently moved to a new city (i'm from Canada) and I had to purge again...i lived in my apartment for 10 years so i got rid of a lot but now that I'm in a new apartment...I am seeing that I bought stuff with me that i don't need but yet I am having a hard time getting rid of it? Its like you think about "what if you need it". I am going through stuff slowly to get rid of them again. My goal in 2 years is to travel for 1-2years with just a carry on so I am preparing for that. I think having a goal helps to be minimalist so you can reduce based on that goal otherwise it can be hard. If its just to be minimalist that you'll get rid of everything haha but we still need certain things in our life that makes us happy. CZcams recently started recommending your videos and I like watching you go through your journey and sharing your experience. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing, Chikolat, and happy to hear you're liking the videos. Traveling in 2 years is a great goal to work toward to. Good luck! 🙌🏻
Just found your channel yesterday. Great content…have you read Goodbye Things? It’s my favorite book on minimalism😊
Yes, I have read Goodbye Things by Fumio Sasaki. Great book! I have even made an entire video about the silent to-do list (czcams.com/video/Zt7pjXOyBaw/video.html), which is a concept from Goodbye Things. Glad to hear you enjoy the channel! 😀
I would love to get rid of everything but it’s my mom’s place 😐
It's a challenge to declutter when living with other people. But maybe there are things you can do when sharing a home, it all starts with taking that first step 😉
Peter, are you single?
