    In this enlightening episode, host Amy welcomes Nadia Arbach, a specialist in decluttering, to delve deep into the complex world of clutter and the underlying psychological triggers. Nadia shares her unique insights and strategies on how to combat clutter effectively, focusing on both physical and digital realms. Nadia explains her "Seven Clutter Triggers" framework, highlighting the importance of noticing habits that lead to disorganized thinking and feelings of overwhelm. Especially relevant for neurodivergent individuals, Nadia outlines how disorganized thinking often stems from lacking a system for managing items, resulting in duplicated purchases or misplaced files. She also emphasizes how having too many interests can lead to a cluttered environment and disinterest over time. Listeners will learn practical strategies like using uniquely timed sessions (e.g., 17 minutes) to manage decluttering efforts and finding a personal organization system that resonates with them, be it Trello, pen and paper, or another tool. For those who feel overwhelmed by multiple projects, Nadia suggests creating a "master project list" and prioritizing based on excitement rather than importance. Nadia has also faced her own clutter challenges and draws on experiences from running her four businesses, including, Clear the Decks, to guide clients in managing both physical and digital clutter. She talks about her journey, influenced by the KonMari method, and the emotional aspects of letting go of sentimental items.
