Rob Greenfield is another one. He's a bit of a sensationalist but seems to have a good heart. He once rode his bicycle from one side of the US to the other, forcing himself to actually carry any garbage he created with him on his bike. He also lived in a very(very) tiny house, basically a large doghouse, I think it was like ... 5*5*8?, which he eventually donated. As I say, sensationalist, but certainly devoted to making people think about their impacts. https://robgreenfield.tv/

How to GYST (get your shit together) is one I've liked ... the site's run by a funny, chaotic Irish woman, between the accent and the humor, she always made me smile. She's a bit more mainstream, mostly focused on how to control a love of stuff and still have order and organization (now while raising a toddler.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FQfCanvU2M

That's the guy! lol.

Today I made a first visit to Joshua Becker's website.

I was impressed by the Archives, which contain 1-24 articles per month, going back to 2008.

A random example from the Archives: http://www.becomingminimalist.com/delight

I noticed that they present an on-line "Uncluttered" course, 12-weeks long, 3x per year, using a private Facebook group for participants. The course aims to guide decluttering of every living area of a home.

I wouldn't say she's my favorite because she gets a bit preachy, but Courtney Carver does offer a minimalist wardrobe (Project 333--cut down to 33 pieces of clothing and accessories) plan that is intriguing to me. Now that I don't need a work wardrobe, I may work on it further.

I have to say, my biggest minimalist inspiration are the Nearings! They had one bowl and one pair of chopsticks each. When people visited, Scott and Helen asked them to bring a stone, which they used to build their houses and patios. They are my aspirational minimalist heroes, and they remind me that of all the stuff we think we need, we REALLY need very, very, little.

Moneyless man Mark Boyle is another inspiration.

And of course, Peace Pilgrim, who carried nothing but a toothbrush, stamps, a pencil and notepaper in her tunic. You can't get more minimalist than that.

I don't watch a lot of minimalist YouTubers because I feel like my life is at the point where I am content with what I have and don't have. I will watch several YouTubers who are going through their own minimalism journeys which I do like watching. I also like watching cleaning videos but not those who have disaster messes to clean up. Those stress me out. More of the ones whose homes just need some tidying up and more akin to my house.
