Episode Summary
In this episode of The Launch Button, I discuss the importance of decluttering and making space for both personal and business growth. They invite Kitty Andrews, an expert in decluttering from Nova Scotia, Canada, who has spoken at prestigious institutions like Harvard and Stanford, to share her insights.
Kitty explains that decluttering your physical space can help declutter your mind, creating room for new habits, businesses, and goals. She recounts her journey from being a naturally organized child to building a career in decluttering, real estate staging, and organization. Kitty emphasizes that clutter in one's environment often mirrors mental clutter, and by simplifying and tidying physical spaces, people can experience mental clarity and increased energy.
She introduces her "One System," which involves tackling one room, one area, and one item at a time to overcome feelings of overwhelm. This system is especially beneficial for people with ADHD or those who struggle with organization. By focusing on small, consistent efforts, people can build momentum, boost self-esteem, and eventually stay clutter-free. Kitty also provides tips for staying organized long-term, especially for entrepreneurs juggling work, family, and other responsibilities.
The episode emphasizes that maintaining a tidy space can be a daily practice and that forming such habits will lead to mental clarity and confidence, helping people move forward with their goals.
