Most people struggle with decluttering because they focus on the stuff.
But what keeps them stuck is the thinking behind it.
In this solo episode, How Better Decisions Create Less Clutter, Heather Aardema shares a deceptively simple question that transformed the way she declutters, decides, and lives:
What were three of my best decisions this year?
What began as an inability to throw away old family calendars revealed something deeper - how identity, worth, and memory can quietly turn into physical clutter. By shifting the focus from what happened to what was intentionally chosen, Heather shows how agency - not force - is what actually makes letting go possible.
This episode explores why clutter often lingers long after we understand it, and how intentional decision-making can dissolve both emotional and physical buildup. When choices are made consciously, clutter loses its grip - before it even enters your home.
Listen to learn how one question can reduce overwhelm, prevent future clutter, and help you live more by design - and less by default.
