  • 50 Things I Quit to Simplify My Life
    I’ve been simplifying my life for multiple years now, and I feel like the more I have let go of things that don’t serve me anymore, the more I’ve been able to understand myself and my priorities better, and focus on the things that actually matter.
    Today I sat down, and the idea was to reflect and write 20 things I’ve quit, but then I went for a walk and they just kept coming and I decided to keep going. Some of these ended up being very practical things and some deeper things, so feel free to get some inspiration from this video, no need to quit everything I have listed 🤗
    Here are 50 things I’ve quit to simplify my life.

      Great video Seve :) You suggested me very good ideas and your videos are always brilliant and positive. I ve also quit most of those 50. Simplicity gives me peace and joy. There is one more thing we both ( I guess ?) quit which is consuming animal products. It helped me a lot in being more conscious and present while I purchase something. And also I don't waste time anymore waiting for long food digestions. (But that's a big bonus, first of all I am vegan for the animals)

    Minimalism is a journey. I stopped buying clothes, shoes and bags unless they are unusable. Even while travelling or vacationing, I stopped taking too much pictures esp. selfie or food pictures. If I do it, its for keepsake and will never be posted online. I store memories in my mind, replaying it over and over, giving me happiness. Everything u enumerated, I agree to most of it and its almost the same with my current lifestyle. #relatemuch

    I am so happy you mention the part about not needing to wake up early to be a "good person"...almost all the time when I was younger people told me that sleeping later was something "lazy" people do. My brain works different than most people, and I sleep at different hours but I always sleep the same amount of hours as most people. I sleep when I want to sleep. I think many times this is something cultural. This is a very good video. Thank you for making it 👍👍

    Good video, great topic!
    Here are my additions:
    - Quit complaining. Talking about your problems with someone and asking for an advice might help, but portraying them as a matter of your bad luck or just telling about it to 10 people wont do anything. Waste of time and emotions.
    - Quit eating excessive sugars. Sugar is a fuel for your brain, but dophamine is lile a drug - your brain wants more and more. I always notice how sugar deprivation affects my emotional self-control, and then it settles down after a few days of eating less sugar. Simplifies a lot of stuff (at least for me).
    - Quit trying to prove something to someone. You're not gonna change a person's view in an instant. Especially online lol
    - Quit forcing a creative output. As David Lynch said "Get a setup and just wait".

    There is no such thing as multi-tasking - that is why it was so hard for you. Then when we can't accompish something we are made to feel guilty. We can do one thing at a time well, anything more than that suffers. Good on you for recognising it! I enjoyed your video very much, and can relate to many of the things you've let go of.

    About memory issues, my memory started to sharpen back up again when I simplified my diet to not include grains of any kind, seed oils (also known as vegetable oils), sugars, vegetables, and fruits (except a few berries once in awhile). The change was nothing short of a miracle. It keeps getting better even after 2 years of simplifying my diet this way. I love being able to remember better now. Also, something to consider- if you take anything with Diphenhydramine HC (the active ingredient in Benadryl) or a similar drug class, it will ruin your memory and causes dementia). Best of luck to you in your journey! ❤

    A lot of good ones on the list.
    You also make a good job in presenting them more or less as a “pick and choose” list, and that you don’t portray it as if every tip is a need.
    Even though this list shares some tips with all the “X habits of successful people” videos I really hate (and I don’t think you can mimic) your presentation is much more laid back and guilt free and focusing on what really matters, getting yourself to enjoy your life on your own terms.
    Good job, from a friendly neighbour 🇸🇪.

    Since I've retired my life is very much like this guy's. So many things are no longer necessary. I live a life of minimalism, but the result is a kind of "anorexia of things". I reject consumerism, including consumption of experiences. I need nothing. I want nothing. I'm interested in nothing. I hope for nothing. There's nothing liberating about it at all. Each new day is another 24 hours of nothingness. I try to sleep as much as possible. I've gotten off the treadmill of acquisitiveness, but the alternative isn't much better.

      What's your purpose in life currently? I just listened to the summary of the book Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl, and it talked about this feeling of emptiness and how it can come when we lose the purpose or meaning in our life. Hope things will get better for you mentally!

    🎯 Key points for quick navigation:
    🗒️ Always trust my memory: Writing things down helps me remember and stay organized.
    💰 Minimalism over materialism: Less is more; I don't need material things for approval or happiness.
    📱 Tech upgrades: Grateful for what I have; avoid constantly upgrading technology.
    🧹 Accepting imperfection: Simplifying includes embracing a little mess and not obsessing over a spotless home.
    👗 Decluttering clothes: Regularly assess if clothes bring value; donate what's not used.
    💻 Digital declutter: Clearing out unused files on devices for easier organization.
    ⏰ Balanced productivity: Accepting that not every day will be 100% productive; it's okay to have off days.
    📚 Simplified reading: Focus on one book at a time for better comprehension and retention.

    Nice work! I enjoyed your points and was inspired by many of them. It’s nice to see a person who knows what he wants and actually does it. And yes, people waste too much potable water obsessively cleaning themselves and their wardrobe. What about flushing the toilet every time you pee? This may gross most people out, but think about it. That we do #1 and 2 into fresh water that half the world is literally dying to drink is a tragedy. A composting toilet is great, but, since most of us don’t have a choice re our toilet type, or being able to recycle grey water to use in it, this is an option for many.

      I am from India and in my culture - taking a shower daily and that too in the morning before saying your prayer is an absolute must if you are not sick. It is so deeply ingrained into my mind that I feel uncomfortable even thinking about not taking shower. Because I don't eat anything before I have prayed. I can't pray before taking shower...

      Great question! The value I get from those is about self-expression. The jewellery I have, all have a story behind them. When I see or wear those, I feel certain emotions attached to them. So these are one of the few items I own, that don't have a real practical value but an emotional one. I couldn't care less about some "icy" diamond necklaces or bracelets 😄

      Your priorities will change for sure and it will probably be more difficult. But it doesn't mean you shouldn't start a family if that's something you want to do. After all minimalism is not just about living with as few stuff as possible, it's about surrounding yourself with things that are truly valuable to you 🌿

      100%, it is a very personal thing. Minimalism is about focusing on what matters to you individually. The "actual" word is there to emphasize the point that not everything matter equally, you always value other things more than others

    All in until taking a shower everyday. Also, the wearing pajamas to wherever explains a lot to the unraveling of societal norms and why it's no fun to go out to diner at what should be worth the higher expectation of the diners. Thank god I didn't grow up in the era of social media and it doesn't surprise me that it is a revelation to share on U-Tube social media how wonderful living life off social media is! It's called the good old day's when you just dealt with life a day at a time and trusted the people who earned your respect and didn't give an F about people who didn't. I feel so sorry for people who judge their life on how many clicks, likes or followers they have. Yeah, and it wouldn't kill you to wear a nice polo when you go into town! Haha.
