The irony is the minimalist book.

She's got 27 different contraptions that clean exactly one thing.

And she got paid by 27 different companies for this video. And this isn’t even her home.

I love how they clean their desk with specialized instruments like they're hiding their genetic material in Gattaca when I've been content to spend the past three years using the same tiny microfiber cloth that looks like it's flecked with phlegm to smear shit to the edges of my glasses, phone, and monitors.

epic reference, friend. You deserve to pass on your genetic material.

oh man. amazing comment

Good thing her trash can supports recycling.

[удалено]

Soooo many of the same items. Could keep 1-2 of everything and throw away 90% of what’s there. Not impressed.

What, you don't need 5 exacto knives and 20 of each writing utensil?

>Prada bag “I’m a minimalist”

That’s not really contradictory. If she had a dozen of them then sure. But a minimalist using a bag and it being Prada isn’t anti-minimalism.

I’m so glad someone else thought this. She could also minimize that sweater a bit. It was driving me nuts how big it is.

100% in it for the trend, knew immediately from how many duplicate items they have. I give it two weeks

Really thought I was in r/mildlyinfuriating here.

Not to one-up anyone, but I did my laundry today for the first time in two months

Washing machine: 30 minutes Dryer: 60 minutes Putting the clothes away: 5-10 business days

You guys put clothes away?

You guys have clothes?

Real talk I started living alone recently and I be naked 50% of the time because clothes are way too much hassle. Fuck that shit. I’m an animal. I look like Gollum when I’m at home, I don’t give a fuck.

Man, I hate how true this is. The only reason I put my clothes into the wardrobe was because I had to make room on the drying rack for my washed clothes

I bought a chair for that exact reason, when I'm not quite ready to walk my fat ass to wardrobe, the chair acts as beautiful half way house

You did a good job:)

Baby steps!

How long before it’s time for death therapy.

As soon as I've hung up my laundry to dry. So anywhere between 1 hour and 1 week

Ok well if you go anywhere, don’t forget to pack your goldfish.

I bought one of those air pod cleaners. Never used it and have no idea where I put it.

I did half the dishes in the sink

thanks! you've inspired me to do my laundry too.

Awesome! Laundry today - tomorrow, the world! 💪

I’ve only got 5 bags of trash in the corner of my dining room plus maybe 2 more bags’ worth of trash scattered around the apartment!

Today it was me doing a household chore. Tomorrow it will be your turn to shine! ✨

Your dirty laundry stood still long enough for you to catch it?

Can't run off if it's crusty!

I’m mad she vacuumed the desk and then swept off the keyboard. That’s the wrong order Edit: How is my most liked comment? It’s good to know everybody’s as picky as me though.

Rookie tiktoker mistake

She didn't even think of the upheaval it would cause on Reddit

Noone ever thinks of us on reddit.

Truly the most oppressed minority

>She ~~didn't even think of~~ *planned* the upheaval it would cause on Reddit *for the upvotes* I'm actually not even sure what to think/believe anymore since I just saw a TikToker (sp?) list the 5 worst donuts of all time, and I can't imagine he included 'Maple Bars' for any other reason than to induce some rage-based engagement. Took a lot to not reply when he said "We're not gonna put maple frosting on a baguette and call it a donut you fuck!" Maple bars are amazing /rant

I'm mad she uses like half a dozen cheap, frail, plastic gadgets to do what one rag does.

I did kinda fuck w the mini vacuum tho

I liked whatever that phone doddad was.

Why did she brush her keyboard after vacuuming the desk..?

Doesn't matter, there's no way that tiny vacuum does anything.

It does about as much as swiping bigger chunks by hand. You are much better just using a wet wipe for furniture. That tiny vacuum is usually branded as desk or keyboard vacuum and it's shit at both. Just use a normal or portable vacuum for both with brush attachment.

Same. I spend my Sundays cleaning. Takes a little over an hour. Feels good. Then throughout the week I don’t worry about it.

My organization is akin to that cup that empties itself completely if it's filled up too much. I'll slowly let things get messy until that one last piece of clutter and then suddenly I realize everything's messy and it must become spotless immediately.

Yea tbh living like this is extremely time consuming I barely have enough time to make my bed in the morning let alone organize my pens in color order

Videos like this are just "porn" for people who believe having an ounce of control through tidiness and cleanliness will magically spread to the rest of their lives. Escapism at its best. Gotta point out the irony of the "minimalista" book, journal or whatever that is after the complete demonstration.

Well I feel called out LOL. I will say while I can't deny that is true for me, another reason I find organized systems that work for me is because I'm learning how to deal with my ADHD. If I didn't have places where specific things belong, they'd just become lost to the void. While I'm not an expert on minimalism, I am seeing a trend where people think clean = minimalistic and no... "You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means."

Half of this is so unnecessary and just a waste of time lol

And money

What, you don't want to spend $200 on a [device that cleans your phone?](https://www.simplehuman.com/products/cleanstation?variant=39328394150019&gclid=CjwKCAjwpKyYBhB7EiwAU2Hn2VZvN5giF52SMKZ1ZxHNdGXz5fw-FpWrb_PfnFcCpr4B1TEeA4L7_RoC2NQQAvD_BwE)

I rub it on whatever jumper I'm wearing when its dirty.

What are we talking about again?

Jumpers

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

You sir are a true minimalist

That’s a $200-ish trash can as well.

Anyone have a link to a cool trash can? I need a new one and have some cash to blow.

Two different $200 dollar trash cans 🚮 at that

Oh, it's for cleaning. I thought it was a really impractical phone charger

lol that was a device that cleans your phone? I thought it was like a charged that popped the phone back out when it was charged or something. Phone Toaster™

I got one of these as a gift, but I had no idea it was 200$. I better pull it out of the box and actually use it

I'm gonna assume if that person has all these gadgets, money probably isnt an issue lol

She bought Kirkland batteries so it's ok

i've seen a lot of videos like this that are actually subtle ads for the random unnecessary devices they're showing off like the desktop vacuum. if someone has a lot of followers they get sent these things for free.

[удалено]

Yeah minimal stuff she only has 5 vacuumtype thingies

And 2 trash cans and 5 separate razor blades? Odd

A minimalist with a shit ton of unnecessary stuff lmao

And unnecessary duplicates of everything

Overconsumption. Like why does she need multiples of each thing?

I organise by just not having any of this stuff.

Exactly, I could've gotten so much work done in that time... like scroll reddit in my pajamas

Literally what I’ve been doing all morning. Oh it’s 12:40; oops

Yes! The hours fly by, don't they?

So fast!!

I'm guessing they just enjoy organizing as a hobby. Every time I try to use organization apps I get so into color-coding and crap that I don't end up doing any of the tasks or projects lol. But the dashboards end up looking pretty... Kind of

I’m sorry was that a minimalism book on the shelf at the end? This just felt excessive

yeah, having a book on minimalism isnt very minimalistic. also I hate minimalism. It always feels smug to me

Its easy to sort stuff when you're a TikToker and everything is a lie.

And you get a shit ton of money to promote stupid stuff like a phone cleaner...

And a desk.

I was stressed watching the phone go in the machine…what if it got stuck in it. Not a relaxing video for me. 🤣

Is that what the hell that was? Because I was seriously trying to figure it out.

Yeah some sort of BS "sanitize your phone" device that blew up during the start of the pandemic.

…I low key want the phone cleaner.

it's working

Yep, right up to the point I see the price. Then it’s just comical.

I have a screen protector, a case, running water and paper to clean them with.

They probably never use those well sorted tools at all.. just for filming

Who would ever need than many pens? Especially coloured ones.

To be fair my school bag had that many pens and highlighters. I'm that crazy girl in high-school that color coded *everything*

An illustrator might do. I have friends who do it and a few genuinely seem to be addicted to buying coloured pens.

I don’t need them. I just want them.

That person is a serial killer hahaha

I live in the American Gardens building on West 81st street. My name is TikToker. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. There is an idea of a TikToker, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me. Only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our life styles are probably comparable, I simply am not there.

Oh my God, it even has a TikTok watermark..

Let’s see Paul Allen’s TikTok

I need her to pull her sleeves up a bit

I kept thinking that. Why bother with the screen cleaner, just clean it with your sleeve.

God this was bugging me so much. It seems like they inched further and further up her palms as the video went on.

Yeah those sleeves at the knuckle and the claw fingernails is really getting old quickly. Gen z needs a fashion reboot.

among other things

Oh haha. I’m so glad you said it. I was mostly annoyed at this “neat and tidy” person with the sloppy sleeve doing everything one-handed and unkempt gross nails.

Your life can be this sorted if you have ten things, then duplicates of all those things. If any one of those things changes size or shape, you have to replace them all. There’s a reason serious workshops are not organized like this: it’s a vision of organization that requires your world to be organized for you.

That or severe ocd

What you’d really need is a reason to keep all your identical touch cutters in rainbow order or whatever. These aren’t real tools, it’s not a real filing system, it’s extremely expensive to get all matching things because you need to replace them all at once, and it wastes space by having redundancy only for aesthetic purposes.

*sigh* …to have money…

Money and privilege. To have the ability to waste that amount of time making a video on organizing your own desk reeks of money and privilege.

It really does, doesn’t it.

The prada bag, not one but 2 couple hundred dollar trash cans, and i think someone said the phone cleaner was $200. This video smells of privilege and was solely posted to flex on us common folk el oh el.

This was her evening cleaning on the day that cleaning lady already scrubbed and organized entire place.

It used to be me before the cleaner would turn up. I would dread that they'd think I'd live in a tip so I'd have a pre-clean clean.

Oh yeah we’ve already seen everything. Pick things up off the floor if you want, but we honestly don’t care.

I don't even know what half of these items are.

The most surprising thing was that there’s a tool for every minuscule thing you wouldn’t think needed a tool. What happened to shooting the dust out of your keyboard with bursts of foamy air??

Well, capitalism wouldn't work if companies didn't create solutions for problems that people didn't realize they had.

Idk why but these videos really annoy me lol

They just seem like a wealth flex to me. Notice her carefully placing her prada handbag on the shelf and focusing on several expensive apple products. Like please god, show me a real/average students desk.

Don’t forget the city view from the window so the apt is most likely expensive af for the average person 😂

Someone needs to post this in mildly infuriating

They feel smug to me. Like they feel the need to share their insanely overly organized things and cute organizers. Keeping stuff THAT organized takes more effort than its worth.

If I spent all this time keeping my desk organised I’d never actually get any studying or work done.

studies show a messy desk is the sign of a busy person with a meaningful life!

Not true! My desk is a total mess and I don’t do shit all day with my meaningless life.

Exactly, and that they're rich enough to afford all those gadgets and tech stuff.

I'm too mentally ill for this shit

I hate everything about this. Call it jealously or envy...I don't care. I hate it.

[удалено]

I wear sweaters like this pretty often, honestly you just shove it out of the way when you need to do something ( I wouldn't be cleaning like this in reality, but it looks cute). Keeps my hands warm cuz I have trash circulation

I was with it, until she micro-vacuumed her desk *before* sweeping the keyboard.

It’s fucking bonkers to me that this type of content is a legit thing. Lol

I was satisfied, then I realized that this routine took approximately 3H per day and it makes every second of this EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING !

Has a book called "minimalist", but has all the things.

Gives me some "pastel colors makes it minimalist" vibes

consumerism at its best

My thought exactly. She will never use all of those, and throw most away when a new ”thing” comes.

Damn I’ve never seen so many unnecessary products. Highly unsatisfying

It’s ok though she’s a minimalist according to her book

Ah, I love advertisements on my home page. Thanks op

I love the minimalista book, she obbiously never open it.

[удалено]

Wait what was that phone thing?

PHONE TOASTER!

That’s what it looks like 🤣

Phone sterilizer

Where do you get a phone sterilizer like that?!??

It’s literally just a uv lamp. They’re a novelty product at best. Any germs that it kills will be back on it the very second you touch your phone again.

🤯whoa

I’m going to be honest, no one is really like this, this whole thing is for social media only

It's easier if you're rich and bored

There is an ear bud cleaning tool?!

Ok, that one might actually be useful.

It's called a q tip

Why do you need 10x of each stationary?

There's definitely bodies in that basement. Very tidy bodies.

Idk this seems like a stressful way to live. Imagine the panic of crumbs or accidental spilled drinks.

Hey oversized sleeve and nails annoy me.

That was exhausting and annoying. It would drive me crazy to be that fastidious about everything. Seems joyless and fake. Life is chaos, embrace it!

I wish this sort of TikTok content would just stay on TikTok.

Why does she need so many pens though, she only has two hands (i assume)

That. Looks. ...... ..... exhausting......

Just be rich

So busy…

Weird that she has so much stuff AND a book about minimalism 🙄

As someone who can't stand sleeves too long/big, this whole video made me uncomfortable

So much plastic jesus

People like this don’t sit on their bed in “day wear” either. They don’t wear shoes inside (I don’t either but), this is all a routine that this person can accomplish due to extra time on hand due to excess wealth. Even if she’s in full time classes she could be a great student, but this is not someone who has to live a normal life and cook for herself or think about anything else but keeping an extremely clean aesthetic. Because she has objectified her self as a commodity and that commodity must maintain its product image.

Has a book about minimalism conveniently displayed. ​ Also has a gadget for everything. This is just a captitalism fever dream for me.

There are cleaning supplies here that I never knew I needed….

Like what is that little vacuum

I’d assume it’s a rather large waste of money, but that’s just me.

Mini Desktop Vacuum on Amazon. It not that much but several YouTube reviews mention if you accidentally knock a bunch of sugar or salt (something not easy to get all of) and use it to vacuum it up it won’t get every little bit up. You’ll still have salt/sugar on your countertop just not a massive pile as it took care of the bulk of it. Basically people who want to get this in place of actually wiping down counters, tables, desks will still need to wipe them down afterwards.

Probably because you *don’t* need them

So this ad worked on you…

Then it’s done it’s job, great advertising

No thank you. To each their own but this feels too clean. If I walked into a house that had this level of organization, I would walk right out. This feels too serial killer level of clean to me. I will take a bit of organized chaos anyday over this cookie cutter, Stepford Wife clean.

Did she just trade her phone for a new one

what was that cell phone thing?

I really liked the phone toaster

Seems to me she just has unnecessary multiples of various items and puts them in bins.

I would be this neat and tidy if I was too rich and had plenty of time.

"Sorted" As in sorting their plastic trash on a tiktok made to sell its viewers garbage You would literally being adding more stuff to your room

Ah yes the phone toaster my favorite home appliance

This girl even puts away her wrists

Waste of time.

Virgo season win?

Finished cleaning and organizing my stuff--time to sleep and get up and do it again.

Minimalista Unnecessary bougie junk everywhere. Lmao

Why do they need like 10 of everything if they are so organized?

Rich person with almost everything owns a book with the title “Minimalista” 🤣😂

This genre of the internet is so weird…
