Declutter Your Chaos - Mindful Minimalism

Hi Friends,
Many of us can push ourselves to get things done: decluttering, cleaning, organizing, even life admin.  And we often feel proud afterward. But then we don't come back to it!  The motivation disappears, avoidance creeps in, and clutter slowly returns.
In this episode, we unpack why that happens from a nervous system and psychological perspective, why pride isn't the same as sustainability, and how self-worth, self-criticism, and threat perception shape our ability to follow through. This conversation reframes productivity, motivation, and decluttering through the lens of safety, conservation, and regulation, not willpower.

Hey Friends,
In this episode, we focus on decluttering office supplies, tech, and computer gear without overwhelm. If drawers full of pens, old devices, and random accessories make you shut down, this episode will show you how to approach them in a way that actually feels doable.
We use mindfulness to regulate the nervous system first, then take simple, practical action — so decluttering doesn't feel heavy or punishing.

In this guided decluttering episode, we tackle one of the most avoided office categories: charging cords and old tech.
Cords tend to pile up not because we need them — but because we're afraid of being irresponsible if we let them go. Today, we break that belief and walk step by step through how to deal with cords in a calm, practical way.

The 4 Categories of What to Keep as Reference
1. Identity & Legal
Documents that establish who you are:
Birth certificate
Passport
Social Security card
Marriage or divorce records
Name change documents
These are foundational and worth keeping accessible.
2. Financial & Tax
Documents tied to money and compliance:
Last 7 years of tax returns
Current-year financial records
Property deeds or titles
Insurance policies
Older financial paperwork is rarely needed beyond this window.
3. Medical
Documents that support continuity of care:
Vaccination records
Major diagnoses or procedures
Current insurance information
Stacks of old printouts are usually unnecessary.
4. Home
Documents related to the home you live in now:
Warranties for items you still own
Manuals you actually reference
Major repair or renovation records
If it doesn't support your current home, it likely doesn't need to stay.
