Extreme minimalist challenge: 1 item per day for 30 days

NO ONE IS COMMENTING ON HOW COOL IT WOULD BE TO BE HIS STUDENT LIKE THEY PICKED BLUEBERRIES, MADE CHOPSTICKS, ATE COOL NOODLES, HAUNTED HOUSE. LIKE WHATTTT

This guy does more fun stuff in a week than I do all year

I learned to be a minimalist through poverty. You really don't need much to be happy.

"Each day, when I get one more item, the happiness increases." I think the challenge/art of minimalism is recognizing, when the increase of happiness stops/decreases and stopping to accumulate belongings at that point. Very interesting content!

I was wondering why this video felt so quiet and relaxing, and then I realized... There's no music or sound effects!

As a dressmaker it is always fascinating to me, how important clothes really are. Even an extreme minimalist would chose an item of clothing as his first item (not counting a roof over the head, drinking water and food). And yet so many people seem to think, this line of work was worth almost nothing - neither money nor respect.

Finally saw a video about a guy who can live happily by being a school teacher in a small village. Love it!

This was extreme, but I think essentials things used for hygiene should be present at all times. Detergent and soap should've been available during the first day like the samurai underwear. Anyways, damn didn't knew I would enjoy this video so much. GREAT CONTENT!!!

I am working towards a minimalist goal, but I am doing it differently. Every day I put out 3 things and choose 1 to keep and 2 to give away. It's a slow process but its working. Sometimes I decide to give away all 3. I've cleaned out 3 closets this way.👍

Clicked this video to see how the challenge went but I became way too focused on the curriculum at the place you’re teaching. So many cool and fun activities in 30 days only, what a dream school 🥺

Honestly I was super surprised you waited 6 whole days to get the mattress! For me that would’ve been day two most likely. Amazing video, I’m so glad I got this in my recommended. I will look at some of your other videos too, because I’m interested in the Japanese culture and minimalistic values that you talked about here.

I had to go through something similar. I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail last year. I committed to keep my pack weight less than 10 pounds (not including food and water). I did that but came close 3 times with hypothermia. It's was a good lesson. You only need a little water when thirsty, a little food when hungry, clothes to stay warm and some shelter to get out of the rain. I enjoyed the video, thanks

I had a "maximumalist" lifestyle with a cushy job and everything. Then mum got diagnosed with a terminal illness. I would travel each weekend to be with her, and slept under her bed. Sleeping bag, toothbrush, cellphone & charger, pen+notepad, 3 grey t-shirts, 3 shirts, 2 pairs of jeans, some girl things, and plastic money. That was all I needed. And when mum passed away in 2017, when nothing made any sense, I gave up most of my material possessions, lived in 5 countries since then. I definitely still enjoy the feel of silk against my skin, but do I care? No. I am happy in cotton. Now my principle of things I own: 1) Is it ABSOLUTELY necessary? 2) Can it do 2-3 jobs? 3) Does it hold any sentimental value. I have stopped buying clothes/shoes/make-up/books/etc. Life is simpler with more room for what I hold dear to me, leaving me time to find beauty. my goal is that when I die, my things can be wrapped up in one garbage bag.

this is actually really interesting. there's many non essential items that i would be completely miserable without. my guitars, my hoodies, my art supplies, etc. i'm honestly not surprised you did so well at this challenge. you don't need much to be happy, because your life is full of richness, experiences and joy on its own. that's pretty amazing, if you ask me.

I used to be homeless, living on the street. So for me, the minimalist lifestyle is just a reminder of what I went through: cold, dirty, and starving. I vowed never to live that way again, but I also now know what's truly important in life.

He is a master of discipline, creativity, and intentional living.

This is one way to see how someone in poverty would live. A way to be humble and thankful for things

This guy is unstoppable. People might do this challenge maybe, but only he would do it on a thirty days that are very busy. He had so many plans and tags to do and easily could’ve chosen an empty scheduled thirty days. I respect you

As a maximalist, this is a nightmare for me 😁 but everyone has a right to live a life they want to as much as they can :chillwcat::elbowcough:it also make me think about how spoilt for choices we modern folks are. tq for sharing

Very proud of you. Living homeless, I've learned to use less and be grateful, and I've carried those lessons with me and encourage others to simplify and prioritize
