please remember to do audio checks while editing :( it was very hard to listen with headphones since I cannot hear well in my left ear.

Only addition I'd consider adding would be a 28-34" monitor. Huge difference vs a single 13-16" laptop screen.

I feel like this is better titled "things I realized I don't need". Your talking points aren't all; some are preferences, and some are common sense.

My standing desk is a lifesaver. I do prefer sitting, but I understand the long term effects of sitting all day everyday. I alternate between sitting and standing throughout my work day and make sure it’s at least 50/50. My posture has improved, I have less back pain, loose hips (they used to be so tight and immobile), and funny enough, after years of sitting at a desk job, my butt started getting flat. Alternating in the least has definitely helped and there is a lot of scientific/medical evidence that standing is better for you.

Honestly, the standing desk was ideal during the pandemic because I wasn't allowed to leave the house. I even bought a walking pad. But now, I prefer going outside rather than walking at my desk.

Love my standing desk at work. Especially since I feel like I walk around to brainstorm with my team and stuff... it's such a hassle to feel like I need to get in and out of my chair to do something on my laptop and then also go to a meeting and come back, repeat. And having the option to switch to sitting when tired is so nice (rather than like, a permanent counter). I also find that rather than sitting, standing keeps me in a better working position rather than gradually leaning over and stuff as I sit.

I get headaches from screens (sometimes within 5 minutes when the screen is a normal brightness instead of dark as can be), but not when I wear the blue light glasses so it definitely does something for me personally and is one of my musts

I love how this video turned into a “I bought it so you don’t have to” video haha Great content! It helps me think how to use more and better the things I already have.

Hey, I'd stop using alcohol to clean your Mac screen. I would recommend just a microfiber cloth for the screen and light elbow grease depending on how dirty it is. Keyboard and aluminum body is ok with alcohol (dont spray the keys, speaker and connection holes, and clamshell fold directly). Tooth pick for the clamshell fold makes it *chef's kiss*

Can’t wait for your video on paper clutter. I just re-organized my office…and now that you are educating me, I think I need a ‘do over’.!❤

I find the point to be contradictory, you don't need headphones but at the same time you do. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think headphones are a 100% must. especially if you live with one or more people, your house is located in a noisy place, if your neighbors play very loud music, etc. Personally, I find headphones much better than earphones. They are not recommended much because of how "close" it is to your ear. You just have to find the ideal, comfortable product that meets your needs.

I always get motivated to clean or declutter, or organize when I watch your videos. They’re such a breath of fresh air. I also miss your podcast 😢

Apple clearly mentioned to clean apple products with (macbook with Retina display) just a water and a microfiber lint free cloth. I also have a macbook and i've been using only water and cloth from amazon basics, it really good , it cleans everything in one wipe. I'm just saying, they mentioned to avoid liquids having alcohol content, i just wanted to let you know.

I got a standing desk over Covid and ironically I loved it more for the fact it goes down lower bc I’m the same height as a 7 year old. I don’t really use it to stand but it’s helped a lot just by being adjustable.

Everything in this video: "You don't need this!! I have one though and might need it 😇"

Hello Krist Yu! Thank you for this video and up coming series! I can't wait to hear all your advice and put it to action! A few months ago you inspired me to make my own video on the furniture I am getting for my new room that I am moving into soon, and now looking back on it I realize how many things I don't need. Currently my room is very messy and a big part of that is having too much stuff! I think a lot of people can relate to having a messy bedroom, so you might want to do that for your next video!

I use my standing desk and headphones all the time!

my cat and I love to see a new Krist Yu video drop

I started using notion a long time ago because of you ❤️ love the notion sponsor ^^

This is good! I've been looking for a calendar to sync to my google one, thank you Kristine! Love your vids❤ they've helped me in my journey of moving out with my husband and taking proper care of our home. Looking forward to more vids!!

was the audio only coming in from the left ear only for anyone else?

Speaking of digital clutter I couldn’t help but notice all the icons in the status bar. Almost all of those can be shown in the control center. If you’re easily distracted by lots of things on the screen like I am I highly recommend changing these to only show in control center.

Seriously after watching your videos I feel like cleaning and being organized luv ya💗💗

excited for this series!

Although I complete understand your problems with headphones, for some people like me earphones just don't work, for the longest time I used earphones and my ears would genuinely hurt plus for some reason somehow my ears would always collect dirt even if I cleaned them everyday, so when I finally made the switch to headphones it was a game changer! just wanted to share, but I LOVE the video and the tips are very helpful & practical!🙌

Buy a laser printer! You do not need to replace the ink ever. It's around every 3,000 pages. It is more expensive upfront but it never breaks and will be a long term product. I hope the tank printer lasts long though!

Another banger Kristine, keep it up homegirl

omg perfect timing!!

Ahhhh finally! A new video! 💕 P.S. this video is just what i need.

I have a standing desk. And yes I do stand. I do spend time on my desk and I have my Apple Watch on me all the time (I know totally understandable if you don't like to wear a watch at home). The watch notifies me everytime to stand up, so whenever it does it, I stand up. I feel much better doing like this and weirdly enough I do feel more productive by occassionally standing up

N AHH THIS IS SUCH A GOOD VIDEO!!!! this really humbled me lmaoo, but honestly this was like a call back to reality and I love it! thanks tbh!

omg I love your videos so much

15:24 really hit me. Thanks Kris for reminding… 🎉🎉🎉 Keep inspiring!

What you dont need in your kitchen sounds super interesting!

Damn she's so minimal she made me realize i don't need sound in my right ear 😀

Instead of getting a standing desk, I think a good alternative would be to get an adjustable one. So one where you can adjust the legs to fit your length and the height of the desk chair you’re using. It’s better for your posture and really practical

For me, Headphones are a must have because I'm autistic. Even when Im by myself, I hear everything from appliances to even planes outside. The deep pressure from the headphones are actually another reason I like headphones too. I just found it interesting that the reasons you didn't like them were the same exact reasons I like them. I find those little nuances to be nice. The model of headphones you returned, I actually have that same pair in the same color, I've worn them out haha. Though it's not the bad worn out but rather I've broken them in. My only gripe with them is that debris easily gets in them when I have them around my neck. Though I realy love the ANC on them since noise cancelling helps me get through the day, it doesn't completely sound proof everything but it makes sounds much more bearable. I also like that they can fully charge in about 20-30 minutes.

Actually helpful. Thank youuuu ^^

Cant wait until bathroom, thats my worst clutter zone

Also for not earphone listeners the audio isn’t great, there is a lot of echo and flat sound to the talking :/

I absolutely agree with the SKADIS pegboard. So many minimal RU-vidrs shill those so hard which is ironic because it is literally a display for your clutter. It really bothered me after a few months and eventually discovered that it was just a meme. Standing desks are awesome though!

Thanks for sharing your minimalist ideas and you are SUPER cute too !!

Hey, look up organized 365 Sunday basket and that is an amazing paper organization system

Why is the audio so much on the left side? 👂🥲

I love my standing desk. I try to stand for at least 3 hours. Best of all it’s a hand me down.

I love your videos and your cat. Question: Where might I purchase your black labels with white block letters?

Can you do a minimal tour of your kitchen ❤?

How is your logitech keybard holding up? I want the white one but I'm worried it will stain or get dirty!

you should do a bedroom minimal home video!!

MOTHERR IS BACK

Hi kristine, where do you get the necklace ? Looks minimalist and pretty!

I have my laptop, my mouse, and 400 goddamn things that I just might need (and I've never used) But it's all hidden away in drawers, so I'm still pretty minimal, I at max only have 4 or 5 things on my desk top

Can you add a link to your office chair also? It looks great! Thanks!

Hey, just letting you know I was watching this Video with my AirPods in. And I was only hearing your voice on the left and only hearing music on the right side. Maybe there is something wrong with your sound settings.

Hi where is the case u have ur mose and in arpods in from? Ty

you have me as a subscriber! I am obsessed with Taylor Swift!

Blue light makes it harder to sleep at night. if you struggle to fall asleep this may be the reason. This can be avoided by staying away from screens an hour before bed.

“Things you don’t need in the kitchen” would be really nice 😊

Things you don’t need for your kitchen next!!

Yes, you don’t need a desk vacuum and screen cleaner. I bought these two and didn’t use it often. I always find myself using wet tissue to wipe my phone and desk. Such a waste of money so don’t do it 😅.

Does anyone know how to buy her Claw Clips again? I bought them before and I would like to purchase some to replace the ones I've lost...But Whenever I follow the KyndKare Link, I am redirected to shoes??? Please help!

Ugh clutters the hardest for me ugh I work myself up to do it then I go to do it and just can’t ughhhhhh

Just for your information you shouldn't use alcohol on your MacBook screen, just use water if you wanna clean it

please just do a reupload with fixed audio ffs this video is so useful

Won’t that screen cleaner damage your devices?

Alcohol is bad for the hydrophobic coating on your phone

Oh I actually vote a lot on blue glasses tho

I'm moving house soon and will have a HUGE reset, this series is coming at the perfect time!

Bathroom nexttttt 😶‍🌫️🫶🏻

wow found my guy :) subscribed

❤❤❤

where did you found the white box at 09:06 ? thanks 🙂

Why can't I find the old video of you making drinks for summer? 😢

I need a notepad and a pen, I don't need notebooks and books

Where are you based?

to me, a desktop pc isn't the "latest and greatest tech," you can literally upgrade individual pieces of a pc, like the graphics card (the actual "latest and greatest tech") when you need/want to. unless you only buy apple products, in which case, yeah, don't buy an imac, that's a scam.

Instead of YOU maybe use I dont need??? 😂😂😂

Unfortunately, can't hear anything with the background music going on.

fix your audio, guess you need a monitor headphones for you video editing

What's wrong with this audio why are you talking only on my left. LOL

That's not an ergonomic desk setup. Your health will thank you if you set your desk up ergonomically.

why sound fucked up ?

That is very bad audio. Voice in only left ear. That sounds awfull.
