Pursue Simple Joy with Micah + Vanessa

Today’s episode is all about that space! Not outer space. Not physical space. We’re diving a little more into what we touched on previously back in Episode 6. We briefly mentioned in that episode how purging and decluttering can be applied to more than just physical possessions. It can also be applied to your mental space. And that’s the space we’re talking about today. A lot of what you hear in this episode is inspired by what I’ve read and researched so far of David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” methodology. This book has been an eye opener for sure, and we look forward to talking more about it in a future episode (so make sure to subscribe to the podcast and stay tuned!). How Do I Stay in the Know?

This episode is all about purging (as in decluttering)! We have gone through a number of purges over the past several years, and we have learned some interesting lessons along the way. The current world health crisis might make for a great opportunity for you to clear out some physical space (and maybe something more). Perhaps what you hear in this episode will spark you to take on your own purge. Make sure you grab your Declutter Workbook (I called it the "Purge Checklist" in the episode, I changed the name after this episode was recorded :P) so you can get started on your own Declutter Journey!

This episode sheds a little more light on our respective backgrounds. This time with more focus on the lifestyles we were brought up in and how they have influenced our current lifestyle. Interestingly enough, we discovered that there was a good amount of overlap between aspects of our lifestyle and the impact it has had on our current lifestyle trajectory.

Today’s episode is focusing on different habits that Micah and I have identified as “time-wasters” from our past. We know that there are countless habits that could fall into this category, and what those are specifically will vary from person to person, couple to couple. As a general rule of thumb, if the habit distracts you from investing time in achieving milestones and goals, it’s probably a “time-waster”.
