These are the channels I consistently watch on a regular basis for tips, tricks, education, and inspiration. There are other minimalist youtube channels out there, but these are my personal favorites and I can honestly say I would recommend them to anybody!

I would also like to add two resources for people with families. Leo Babauta is largely responsible for my shift into a minimalist mindset. He is a wonderful resource with so much wisdom and inspiration to share!

Stand Alone Videos About Minimalism
These are fantastic videos that specifically reference the topic of minimalism, however, these channels are not necessarily "minimalist" youtube channels. Most of them cover other topics such as fashion, philosophy and various lifestyles.
Jenny Mustard
Minimalist Videos
Hmmm...this one is a bit awkward! IMHO, Jenny Mustard started her youtube career promoting the concepts of minimalism and related topics such as veganism and sustainable living. However, if you watch her current videos, her topics seem to be focused more on fashion tips and tricks. I do not watch her new videos anymore, but these are my favorite Jenny Mustard videos from "back in the day".

To put it simply: I DEVOUR BOOKS. There are many authors in many genres that have inspired me and changed the direction of my life for the better. However, if I had to choose, I believe Alan Watts has been the single most influential author I have ever read. And that is saying a lot. I am a bookworm, bibliophile, and former academic library technician! When most kids were playing outside during recess, I was hiding in a bathroom stall reading a book.
