How I Stay Digitally Organized | A Guide 

It is really nice and refreshing that someone else does the exact same thing I do as it relates to care for ones digital space and hardware. I don’t understand why anyone would keep phones, laptops, and tablets internally and externally messy. I get we are busy, but I get refreshed and relaxed when I keep myself digitally organized. I have ADHD and Autism, so I’m very, very, very particular about where things go, what it looks, and feels like for me so I can keep my anxiety low.

I'm braziliam and i am found this channel when i was shearching for minimalist lifes. Now I love this channel. 👊😃

Nicholas you changed my life so much to the point that i dont have social medias any more, and i deleated all the apps that i dont use to stay more focused on life and be more like a minimalism like you, keep doing what you are doing cuz ur doing a great job, have a good day.

Thanks brother, I can relate all your videos to me. Have learnt a lot and still keep learning from you😃🥳

Great video as usual, Nicholas!! Another thing I discovered was to put 'clean digital stuff' on the calendar on repeat ((I usually do weekly). It helps me remember and also motivates me to clean up my devices regularly.

Just thinking about when will you post new video😆👍 Came in the perfect time! Keep it up and only up!

Great video. I admire how clean your videos look.

Bautista bomb😁. I spent my day uploading 1200 photos off of 3 USB’s to iCloud. Once I’m not blind anymore, I’ll go in an organize them.

Enjoyed this, these kinds of videos always motivate me to stay in line and keep things simple and clutter free.

I accidentally found nich while scrolling through RU-vid...And this guy is life changing. Thank you Nicholas for this wonderful channel of yours. You helped improve my overall life.

Such a great content! Thank you for all your videos.

king of digital & physical minimalism 👑🙌 I would love to know more about how you organize and manage your video editing & youtube workflow. like how do you name files and store thumbnails, decide what b-roll to keep, etc?

Hi Nicholas, I'd been meaning to tell you how genuinely habit-changing your videos have been for me! I was looking into minimalism and the Danish concept of hygge, and thought I'd never be able to accomplish something so daunting... especially given my affinity for stuff, stuff, and more stuff. But, your videos seemed so genuine and with such practical advice, that I've effectively cleaned out my closet and most of the things I don't need. I still live with my family, but I finally have a room in the house that is wholly under control; a peaceful place I can get work done and sleep well. Thank you so much for your room tour! I even have an ipad mini now... that I use everyday. You've inspired me. Keep up the amazing work! On to the finance tips now.

Thanks, Nicholas for the informative video. Regards Arijit

For things like deleting contacts you don't need (as you mentioned), filing, photo sorting, deleting old texts, digital maintenance things, etc., I simply set a Google reminder (any reminder with repeating reminders would work) set to repeat at intervals. It shows up on my calendar and voila. Done, clear, updated. (I also add reminders for things like cleaning earbuds and keyboards. Yeeeeeesh, ew.)

Thank you once again the perfect video at the right time, after I get started witch decluttering my real life, i now slowly going over to the digital stuff, searching the mails with the keyword unsubscribe was a massive game change for me i could get rid of all the old newsletter very easily, without deleting my old e-mail account. How ist the write/read speed of the SanDisk SSD is it enough for editing ? thanks a lot mate and Keep up the good work 👍❤

Video's like this are so statisfying to watch 🤌

Love all your videos! Need that space wallpaper😍

I felt very identified in this video, it's almost a recreation of how I digitally organize my devices. Very good 👍

Very useful stuff. Well made video. Thanks

When it comes to backing up files, I'm a big fan of the principle of 2 is 1, 1 is none. I have an external HDD, a USB, and I use MEGA for cloud storage (this last one is only for files that don't contain confidential information, nor any semi-sensitive private information, with exception of my name)

Damn.. I should’ve sold you the 512 😏 lol Awesome video as always dude I’m definitely going to apply some of these methods since my computers starting to fill up haha

Thanks a lot for that new video. Love your stuff.❤

Nice video dude! Thanks for sharing ✌

Great ideas! I see your desk is collecting more items! 😂🤣

WoW 🎉❤❤❤😊awesome thank u so much 😊

Love the wallpaper! Anyone have a link for it?

Great content as always! An interesting video (and one we'd personally love to see) is maybe your process for creating/editing/organizing each video project? We've been trying to streamline and keep our creative process as simple as possible.

I've a bad habit of clicking too many pictures for just one scenario, how to avoid this..as my mobile always filled up with pictures of the same object/person and in reality only 1-2 are useful😭

Can I ask: is minimalism something that applies to reducing cognitive load as well as digital & physical stuff? I was interested to hear your methods for backup/passwords differ substantially from my own as I use a cloud based ‘set and forget’ backup system, and a dedicated password manager app that lives across all my devices. Have you considered either as a means to do away with the need to remember to backup and keep a copy of those passwords?

Love everything about this video! Inspiring as ever. Do you also back up anything to the cloud? I will re-watch your file org video, maybe you talk about it there. Do you run various utilities to "clean" your devices, or just rely on manual deletions of files?

Your minimalist phone Home Screen and laptop screen really reminds me of the methods in “Make Time” if you haven’t read it you should check it out 😊 it looks so satisfying but I don’t know if I could bring myself to do it I’m pretty set on my app layout now

Great as always!

Loved the video ❤

I'm definitely guilty of duplicate pictures of my bunnies.... Just went through a good amount and I'm going right back to it after this comment. I also need to put my documents into organized folders instead of organizing them on my desktop.....

Well first I gotta ask. Has your little mannequin man got a name? Love having a clear Home Screen and desktop screen, makes things more productive in a way. I always feel better getting rid of cluttered files that I don’t need. Same with unsubscribing from emails. I’ve done the same with not unsubscribing for years! I was subscribed to a place called Bella Italia for ages before I unsubscribed about a month ago. About 4 years since I last went to the place. I need to get on deleting duplicates too. I have a few mp3s off of albums a couple of times on my iTunes. Yes I still use them, bad habit and I’m old 😂 Great video again my dude 🎉

Nice!

I use the same Sandisk

I loved the wallpaper, where did you get it? Good content btw

great video thanks

Always look forward to your videos and what damage I can do to the subscribe button! Thank you!

I clean all my phones several times a day with microfibre cloths, they say most phones have faecal matter on them! I don't like grease or fingerprints or anyone's faecal matter on my phones! I don't like seeing fingerprints on touchscreens in MacDonalds or on self service tills either.

This material kindles deep intellectual curiosity. A book I read with related ideas deepened my understanding. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze

Make sure you backup your ext ssd!

You can use an cloud system we're you pay 1 time and not have a subscription. Would that get you to use the cloud. Because when your house burns down you lost all your files. Pcloud is an example of paying 1 time, and not have a subscription.

Subscribed, love it 🫶🌼

I hate junk and newsletters on my email address. If it’s not a site that I use often, I try to avoid making an account especially if it is a one time buy. I keep physical copies of important documents, and digital copies of stuff that won’t bother me if I lost them.

Amazing video what's the link of iPad wallpaper

Im struggling with digital clutter and too much tech. Wires drive me NUTS. I feel like ive tried everything. Nothing works

Do what’s on my MacBook minimalist edition

Keep it up ❤️

I would highly recommend you to get another hard drive and have it mirror the first one. "One copy is none, two copies is one to few" 🙂

How do you manage to edit off the external SSD? I’ve tried that in the past but somehow always FCPX makes a library on my laptop and I end up with the internal SSD full, even when having all the files on the external drive

Might share the link to that wallpaper?

Hey @nicholas! What browser do you use?

What carrying case is that for the hard drive?

We need that iPhone wallpaper respectfully

as an average iPhone user i have 109 photos, which I never clicked myself, the phone is 2 year old and never erased the memory.💀💀💀💀

hey where is your PC? are you getting rid of it?

My friends think I’m insane for having like 20 apps lol.

Plz share your iPhone wallpaper

Hide My Email is a great way to keep your inbox clean and your email address private

Everybody knows that your passwords are on an invisible folder on your ssd like you said on the other video.

I have 40k photos on my iPhone 😂

He still hasn’t made a haircut video 🥲

6:55 iOS 16 says otherwise.

Great now my day is gone as I spend the next few hours cleaning my phone and laptop. Thanks, buddy!
