Description

We all know the stress that comes from a cluttered house—but what about the clutter you can’t see?

If your phone is full of screenshots you never revisit, your inbox is overflowing with unread messages, or you’re storing years of old files “just in case,” this episode is for you. Today, we’re tackling the growing problem of digital clutter—how it builds up, why it creates emotional weight, and what you can do to clear it out without overwhelm.

Just like physical clutter, digital clutter can quietly take up space in our minds, our time, and even our emotional energy. It can hold you back from being present, productive, or peaceful—especially during life transitions like downsizing, retirement, or moving into a new chapter.

In this episode, we’ll walk through:

  • What digital clutter actually is—and what counts
  • The emotional side of digital stuff (photos, texts, emails from the past)
  • Why you don’t have to aim for “Inbox Zero” to feel lighter
  • The link between decision fatigue and your digital life
  • Step-by-step ways to clean out your devices, without stress
  • Simple habits to keep your tech organized moving forward

This conversation is full of relatable stories, mindset shifts, and doable action steps to help you feel more in control of your digital world.

📲 Whether you’re downsizing your entire home or just your phone storage, digital downsizing gives you back time, energy, and clarity.
