I definitely fell into that first category for most of high school. I was busy, busy, busy all the time, and constantly figuring out ways to take on more and get even BUSIER. Slowly, and especially throughout this past year, I've been able to sort out what is truly important, and stop pouring my time and energy into what isn't.
I recently took Greg Mckeown's class on Essentialism on Skillshare, took a lot of notes (I think my note taking needs a dose of essentialism 😅), got clear on what my essentials are, and worked out a few ways that I'm going to commit to investing more in them.
I hope you find inspiration in this to seek out what truly matters most and do that to the best of your ability 🤗🌸

I talk all about this on my channel! I call the important things "values" and by placing focus on them and eliminating the unnecessary, life is just way more fun, playful and purposeful! I love to ask myself before taking on anything: "is this vital to my life at the present time?"

Really excited for this one - consumerism is so prevalent in the world and the only people it truly benefits are the mega wealthy. I appreciate that you are making essentialism more known ❤️ I can struggle occasionally with impulse purchasing but I’m hoping this video provides a new perspective 💕 Thank you!

Ok a couple things: 1) SO excited about this Skillshare promotion, I have been dying to take some humor writing courses and master how I make my videos, so THANK YOU (and skillshare haha) 2) your content is such a breath of fresh air compared to some other channels and it's so enjoyable to watch. Alright! Those are the two things hahaha keep creating!

I've realized that I really should learn more about this essentialism topic because I always want to be a maximalist in everything, do everything that's possible and I feel like I overdo it. Stress and sleep deprivation isn't the healthiest way to lead my life during my final grammar school year. I should change it. However, the more I want, the less I actually can do. Time just flows away without me doing anything meaningful. So, it's time to change! You made me realize that I don't need to do everything perfectly, I should just do a little every day while valuing my own work and effort. Thanks, Bliss Bean! You are truly motivating and your videos are so heartwarming and wholesome!

What I really love about this video is that you focus on productivity, time and mental health. Essentialism in KZfaq is usually addressed through the material side, decluttering and owning less stuff, and then, maybe using essentialism as a habit. But you went straight to the core of the topic and it turned out great. Lovely video! Hugs from Argentina ❤

@TheBlissBean 3 жыл бұрын

Honestly I didn't even think about it much on the material side, haha! I guess because the course focused on essentialism in your time and schedule 😂 But yes it's so important to balance the physical decluttering with a decluttering of your commitments and time 👏

Thank you. I will watch the rest later. You said your top priority was taking care of yourself, you can't enjoy the fruits of your labor if you don't. (And really if you dont' take care of yourself you can't labor...) I"m chronically ill and dealing with chronic fatigue right now. I didn't want to take a nap. It feels like it takes up so much of my time. (And really it does.) But me shoving myself through getting things done when I'm this exhausted is not going to serve me or anyone else. And whatever tasks I did manage, would probably be half-assed. So I'm going to take a nap. I'm going to listen to my body, and do the other essentials when I wake up. Again.

I am really glad I found your channel, and your take on "minimalism" is just so relatable for me. I don't want to get rid of 90% of my things, I just want to keep those that add value to my life and it doesn't matter if it's a quote printed on paper, a withered flower from the garden, old stamps, clothes from my grandma, etc. what matters is how important they are to the present moment and the future I want to build. It's all in the mindset, I guess. I'm now a Bliss Bean Baby lol. I will be binging on your videos tonight. They are very helpful and inspirational. I have learned a lot. Thank you and much love from the Philippines. x

Hey Beatrice, thanks for this video! I'm really enjoying the longer length videos that you've been creating & putting out.

They're my relationship with myself, intimacy with my partner and the freelance career I'm trying build to reach by my early 30s. All the best with the areas you've recognised as essential in your life! ❤️✨

I'm really getting in to routines so I started a morning routine and I want to stick with that so I suppose that's an essential because it really makes me feel ready to conquer the day. I also want to blog more and over the past few months I have gotten really good at planning and streamlining most of the work. 1) Keep daily routines 2) Write I think creating routines and streamlining my blog work has created a lot more time for me to do another things. It's very effective. Thank you for this video Beatrice!

Also, I noticed that learning Korean is taking too much of my time even though I did not set any time limit on it and it's not that important as compared to reviewing and studying. so yeah, I will definitely make a list of those essential and non-essential things first thing in the morning, a schedule, and a time tracker. :) 보라해! 💜
