So for the past few years, I feel like we've all had a little bit of a fling with minimalism.

是以，在過去幾年裡，我覺得我們都對極簡主義有了些許好感。

過去簡單式

I dabbled in it for about two, two and a half years myself.

我自己也涉足了大約兩年或兩年半。

基礎數量詞

I think so many of us on YouTube have definitely checked out channels like The Minimalist,

我想我們 YouTube 上的很多人肯定都看過《極簡主義者》這樣的頻道、

If you want to change your spending habits, change your relationship with your stuff, or simply find ways to streamline and simplify your life and your space, then I think minimalism is really great.

如果你想改變你的消費習慣，改變你和你的東西之間的關係，或者只是想辦法精簡和簡化你的生活和空間，那麼我認為極簡主義真的很棒。

But at least in my experience, I think it's also very easy to take it a little bit too far.

但至少根據我的經驗，我認為這也很容易有點過火。

There's been a lot of videos popping up on YouTube and social media talking about how minimalism is dead, and how the concept of minimalism can sometimes be difficult to make work for long term.

YouTube 和社交媒體上出現了很多視頻，談論極簡主義已死，極簡主義的概念有時很難長期有效。

And in my experience, at least, I think the key to minimalism is to just live with intentionality and think before you buy.

至少根據我的經驗，我認為極簡主義的關鍵在於用心生活，買東西之前先想清楚。

So even though I don't call myself a minimalist anymore,

是以，儘管我不再稱自己為極簡主義者、

The internet police in the comments would really come for me.

評論裡的網絡警察真的會來找我的。

And I definitely lean into more of a minimalist-ish type of lifestyle.

而且我更傾向於極簡主義的生活方式。

There are some minimalist rules that I still stick to even to this day, and that I still see a lot of benefits from in my everyday life.

有些極簡主義規則我至今仍在堅持，而且在日常生活中也能從中受益良多。

So I firmly believe that you don't have to identify as a minimalist or make what you consume or not consume your entire personality.

是以，我堅信，你不必認定自己是極簡主義者，也不必把消費或不消費作為自己的全部個性。

But I do think there are some minimalist rules that I think could be helpful for anybody who's looking to streamline their life and simplify a little more.

但我確實認為，有一些極簡主義規則，我認為對任何想要精簡生活、化繁為簡的人來說都是有幫助的。

So in today's video, I wanted to share with you the 10 minimalist rules that I think actually work.

是以，在今天的視頻中，我想與大家分享我認為真正有效的 10 條極簡規則。

Whether you're a minimalist or not, these are the rules that I still adhere to in my day-to-day that really just help me slow down and be more intentional in my everyday life.

無論你是否是極簡主義者，這些都是我在日常生活中仍然堅持的規則，它們確實能幫助我放慢腳步，在日常生活中更加用心。

For those of you who don't know me, welcome.

對於那些不認識我的人，歡迎你們。

I talk all about intentional living, intentional spending, and how to get the most out of what you've already got.

我談的都是有意識的生活、有意識的消費，以及如何最大限度地利用你已經擁有的東西。

I also have a Patreon that you can check out down below.

我還有一個 Patreon，你可以在下面查看。

Giving the video a thumbs up is another amazing way to help support me.

為視頻豎起大拇指也是支持我的另一個好方法。

Rule number one is to buy nice or buy twice.

第一條規則是買好的或買兩次。

I have a series on my TikTok channel and Instagram called You're Too Broke to Buy Cheap Sh**.

我在 TikTok 頻道和 Instagram 上有一個系列，叫做 "你太窮了，買不起便宜貨"。

我想，因為我們所有人都是如此。

And that's kind of a wise word saying straight from your grandmother in the sense that you want to make sure that you can buy the highest quality item that you can afford.

這是你祖母說的一句至理名言，你要確保能買到你能負擔得起的最高品質的商品。

Because if you just go for the cheapest thing, it may not be high quality.

因為如果你只買最便宜的東西，它的品質可能並不高。

And you end up spending more money in the long run looking to replace it.

從長遠來看，你最終要花更多的錢來更換它。

And buying nice in order to avoid buying twice, not only does this maximize the chance that you are buying a higher quality item that you're going to use and keep for a very long time, but it also in a way slows down your buying.

而買好的東西是為了避免買兩次，這不僅能最大限度地保證你買到的是你會長期使用和保存的高質量物品，而且在某種程度上還能減緩你的購買速度。

Because it takes a bit more work up front to buy the thing.

因為買這東西需要多花點功夫。

You have to go test it out to see if it's right for you.

你必須去測試一下，看看是否適合你。

So I think having the motto of buy nice or buy twice or my personal favorite, I'm too broke to buy cheap sh**, it helps slow down the buying and just ensures that you fill your space and spend your money on things that are higher quality that are going to last and things that you're actually going to use for a long time.

是以，我認為 "買好的，或者買兩次"，或者我個人最喜歡的 "我太窮了，不能買便宜貨"，都有助於放慢購買速度，確保填滿你的空間，把錢花在品質更好、更耐用、能長期使用的東西上。

And this doesn't necessarily mean that you buy the most expensive thing either.

這也不一定意味著你要買最貴的東西。

I think the key here is to focus on buying the best that you can afford and just using the heck out of it.

我認為，關鍵是要集中精力購買你能負擔得起的最好的產品，並充分利用它。

Number two is a personal favorite of mine.

And it is a quote straight from author and entrepreneur Derek Sivers.

這句話出自作家兼企業家德里克-西弗斯（Derek Sivers）之手。

And that is, if it's not a hell yes, then it's a no.

那就是，如果不是 "是"，那就是 "否"。

For so much in life, it is really as simple as that.

生活中的很多事情，其實就是這麼簡單。

Because if you allow things into your life that feel lukewarm,

因為如果你允許那些讓你感覺冷冰冰的東西進入你的生活、

I think that's when it's really easy to either build up a whole lot of clutter in your life, physical clutter, but it can also lead to things like resentment and burnout.

我認為，這時候很容易在你的生活中堆積大量的雜物，物質上的雜物，但也會導致怨恨和倦怠等問題。

Because if you don't say no for yourself, then people are going to start saying yes for you.

因為如果你不為自己說 "不"，那麼別人就會開始為你說 "是"。

And when I started applying the simple, if it's not a hell yes, then it's a no mindset.

當我開始運用簡單的思維方式時，如果不是 "是"，那就是 "否"。

It's really helped me weed out a lot of noise, a lot of clutter and just a lot of maybes from my life.

它真的幫我剔除了生活中的許多噪音、雜亂和可能。

If I don't feel excited or absolutely sure about something, then in my gut, it really means that I don't want it.

如果我對某件事不感到興奮或絕對肯定，那麼在我的直覺裡，這確實意味著我不想要它。

Number three is to get into the habit of decluttering first before you start organizing.

第三，在開始整理之前，先養成整理的習慣。

聽著，我喜歡井井有條的空間。

I love organization, YouTube, organization, TikTok, you know, those like ASMR videos where everybody's like organizing their fridge and restocking their pantries and things like that.

我喜歡整理，YouTube，整理，TikTok，你知道的，那些像 ASMR 的視頻，每個人都在整理他們的冰箱，給他們的儲藏室補貨，諸如此類。

It's very satisfying to watch, but I think a lot of those videos also really focus on buying more stuff to organize your stuff.

這讓人看了很有滿足感，但我覺得很多視頻的重點也在於購買更多的東西來整理自己的東西。

And sometimes, yeah, you do need to do that.

有時候，是的，你確實需要這麼做。

But the first step before you get there is to declutter first.

但是，在達到目標之前，第一步是先進行整理。

A lot of times if my space is feeling really cluttered up, overwhelming, disorganized, then it usually means that there's too much junk in the way.

很多時候，如果我的空間感覺非常凌亂、壓抑、無序，那麼通常意味著有太多的垃圾擋住了去路。

I think truly being organized doesn't require spending a lot of money or any money at all.

我認為，真正做到井井有條並不需要花很多錢，或者根本不需要花錢。

It's often more of a stuff problem and a clutter problem first.

這往往首先是一個東西和雜亂無章的問題。

So start there, get rid of what's in the way, and then organize it.

是以，先從這裡開始，把礙事的東西扔掉，然後整理好。

Otherwise, you're just moving stuff around at that point.

否則，到那時你只是在搬東西而已。

如果你不使用它，你就會失去它。

This is a rule that I think about when I am decluttering and evaluating on whether or not something still brings me joy, use, or value.

這是我在整理和評估某些東西是否還能給我帶來快樂、用途或價值時會考慮的一條規則。

I personally live in a small space anyway, so everything that I do own and bring in here needs to meet one of those three criteria.

反正我個人住的地方很小，所以我擁有和帶進來的所有東西都必須符合這三個標準中的一個。

If it doesn't, then it's just taking up space and it needs to go.

如果沒有，那就只是佔用了空間，需要刪除。

Because the thing about maintaining a more minimal, organized, or decluttered space is that it does require some level of maintenance.

因為要保持一個更簡約、更有條理或更整潔的空間，確實需要一定程度的維護。

So it's important to regularly evaluate your things, evaluate your spaces, decide whether or not you're still wearing or using something, checking things like your medicine cabinet and your makeup collection to see what you're no longer using or what's expired.

是以，定期評估自己的東西、評估自己的空間、決定自己是否還在穿戴或使用某些東西，檢查藥箱和化妝品收藏等東西，看看有哪些東西不再使用或過期了，這一點很重要。

Decluttering and keeping a minimal and organized space isn't usually a one-and-done thing.

整理和保持一個簡約有序的空間通常不是一勞永逸的事情。

It requires some level of maintenance and your taste and use and need for things is going to change over time.

它需要一定程度的維護，你的品味、用途和需求也會隨著時間的推移而改變。

第五個方法是，在微信上等待。

If you are an OG to my channel, then you know how often I talk about the importance of keeping a wishlist.

如果你是我頻道的忠實觀眾，你就會知道我經常提到保存願望清單的重要性。

So when I see something that I want, putting it on a wishlist is basically a non-negotiable for me at this point.

是以，當我看到我想要的東西時，把它放在願望清單上對我來說基本上是沒有商量餘地的。

Because what it does is that it separates the initial impulse of wanting from the actual buying of it.

因為它的作用是將最初想要的衝動與實際購買分離開來。

Since I started keeping a wishlist, it has significantly minimized the amount of things I bring into my space and the impulses that I act upon.

自從我開始記錄願望清單，就大大減少了我帶進空間的東西數量，也減少了我的衝動。

And it's basically gotten me into the habit of delaying gratification.

這基本上讓我養成了延遲滿足的習慣。

All I do is whenever I see something that I'm interested in or that I want,

我所做的就是每當我看到我感興趣或想要的東西時、

我會把它放在我的願望清單上。

I keep it in the notes app on my phone and I just set it and forget it.

我把它保存在手機上的筆記應用中，設置好就忘了。

Sometimes I'll journal a little bit more deeply about it,

有時，我會寫一些更深刻的日記、

I'll add the price of the item and maybe why I wanted it.

我會加上物品的價格以及我想要它的原因。

And I really make sure to be as honest with myself about that why as possible.

我真的確保儘可能誠實地告訴自己為什麼。

There's a lot of reasons why we want certain things, but a lot of times they are really impulsive and all you need to do is give yourself a little bit of breathing space.

我們想要某些東西有很多原因，但很多時候真的是一時衝動，你需要做的就是給自己一點喘息的空間。

This is especially helpful for things like online shopping and when you're scrolling social media because that is a huge trigger of wanting things.

這對網購和瀏覽社交媒體等行為尤其有幫助，因為這是你想要什麼的一大誘因。

But it also works to help you shop more intentionally in the future.

但這也有助於您今後更有目的地購物。

If I put something on my wishlist, then I know that when I'm ready to go shopping,

如果我把某樣東西放在我的願望清單上，那麼當我準備去購物時就會知道、

I end up sticking to that list and it really helps minimize distractions when I am shopping so that I stay focused and only buy what it is I want or need.

最後，我堅持按照清單購物，這確實有助於減少購物時的分心，讓我集中精力，只買我想要或需要的東西。

A place for everything, everything in its place.

This is such a great rule to help you stay neat, tidy and organized.

這真是一條幫助你保持整潔、整齊和有條理的好規則。

The one thing about minimalism is that, yes, it really focuses on minimizing what we bring into our space, but it also helps you keep your space feeling curated, tidy and clutter-free when you're in it.

極簡主義的一個特點是，它確實注重儘量減少我們帶入空間的東西，但它也能幫助你保持空間的規劃感、整潔感和無雜物感。

A cluttered space does lead to a cluttered mind and it's very difficult to focus and feel at peace in a chaotic environment.

雜亂無章的空間確實會導致雜亂無章的頭腦，在混亂的環境中很難集中注意力，也很難感到平靜。

And one of the ways that I just minimize that feeling is by putting things away where they belong.

我儘量減少這種感覺的方法之一就是把東西放回原處。

Now, sometimes things here and there still end up on the chair.

現在，有時這裡和那裡的東西還是會放在椅子上。
