Declutter Your Chaos - Mindful Minimalism

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.
 
Hey guys,
In this episode, we focus on the Organize step — the point where mental clutter turns into structure. Organizing isn't about making things look neat. It's about deciding where something belongs so your brain doesn't have to keep track of it.
Using principles from Getting Things Done, we walk through the core organizing categories and how each one reduces stress when used correctly.
 
If you want to go deeper and have support decluttering your home consistently, the year-long program is open. You can find all the details at declutteryourchaos.com.

Hey guys,
Office clutter isn't just about stuff — it's about unfinished work living in physical form.
In this episode, I walk you through how to apply the core ideas from Getting Things Done to decluttering the office, so decisions feel lighter and overwhelm stops running the show.
Rather than using GTD as a productivity system, we use it as a way to reduce cognitive load, contain unfinished commitments, and streamline your tasks so you can get your office decluttered.
If you want to go deeper and have support decluttering your home consistently, the year-long program is open. You can find all the details at declutteryourchaos.com.

Hey guys,
In this episode, we begin a series focused on the office and explore why this space so often becomes the physical version of the to-do list — and what that has to do with overwhelm, avoidance, and self-abandonment.
We'll also slow the nervous system down together and walk through a simple, three-step plan for approaching your office without burning out or overfunctioning.
This episode isn't about productivity or finishing everything.
It's about beginning differently — with clarity, containment, and self-support.
