I'll say right upfront that this is a different kind of episode for the podcast, but stick with me, because today, we're diving into digital decluttering. I know firsthand the toll digital clutter can take. Raising neurodivergent kids means managing a ton of information — from school communications and teacher emails to scheduling appointments, handling assessments, and organizing documentation. It's a lot to keep track of, and it can really weigh us down. If you can relate, this episode is for you. I invited tech and productivity coach Amanda Jefferson, affectionately known as the Tech Whisperer, to help us tackle digital clutter. Amanda guides busy people through streamlining their digital lives and speaks about silencing society's noisy “shoulds.” She's a TEDx speaker, one of the world's first KonMari consultants, and co-host of the Good Enough-ish podcast. Her work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Real Simple, Harper's Bazaar, and Good Day Philadelphia. In our conversation, we discussed the importance of digital decluttering, particularly for neurodivergent families. Amanda shared strategies for securely storing essential documents, organizing email to reduce stress, managing passwords, and using what she calls “free assistants” on our devices to make daily routines run more smoothly. Even if you consider yourself tech-savvy, I think you'll learn something new in this episode. Enjoy, and hopefully, you'll walk away with some actionable steps!

What a milestone to celebrate on this episode with my awesome listeners, who have shown such immense support for the last 100 weeks! I was overwhelmed by the beautiful and hilarious audio messages so many people sent in from all over the world describing things they have enjoyed and learned from the podcast. It seems that keeping the organizing process simple (specifically to 3 steps) and shooting for 1% improvements toward your organization goals topped the list of motivational takeaways. That brings me so much joy, because as you know, I'm in the busy mom trenches with you. I always say, it has to be simple or it just won't get done! It has been my privilege to join you week after week on your car radios, in your earbuds, sitting in the carpool line, hanging out in your laundry room, chatting in your kitchen, and perhaps hiding in your closet, bathroom, or pantry floor as we connect through our struggles, successes, and mom life stories that are universal! I'm beyond grateful for this platform that has been such a fun, creative outlet for me, but most of all a way to serve and support you all as we tackle that never-ending mail pile, sort through sentimental treasures, organize the toys, purge the Legos, mount the kid art, toss the old, make room for the new, group like items, donate hand-me-downs, choose the right containers, and label our stuff if we are feeling especially productive! You inspire me everyday to create new content, test organization tools and strategies, and find ways to prove that “less is more.” Remember we can't do everything perfectly, but we can do everything with style! That's your style that's working best for you in the season you're in now. Thanks again for listening, subscribing, sharing, and letting me know what you want to hear about next.

Inspired by the story of Abram in Genesis 12, I dove deeper into what it means to pursue our purpose. (Yes, that's Abram, before he was called Abraham…you know like the song, “Father Abraham had many sons…”) So what's your purpose? Loaded question, huh? We multitasking moms could probably answer that in lots of different ways.

As you declutter digital media, what do you keep what do you get rid of? What do you actually even own? Most media seems to be more and more only available through streaming in a subscription model, what does that mean for media consumption as a discerning customer moving forward. Do you buy physical media only or let go and just subscribe or start to make your own media? Was ownership of media in the past just an illusion?
Digital Minimalism is something I’ve been thinking about for a long time, but Cal Newport’s book, Digital Minimalism, has definitely helped me to figure out what I want to do about it.I made a goal to publish 52 YouTube videos in 2020 and only published 6 by November 1st.

Connect with me through your favorite platform: https://pods.link/aardvarkgirlThere has been a big trend in the last few years with decluttering. Suddenly organization has become trendy, which is something I’m not mad about at all. Shows on Netflix like “Tidying Up with Marie Kondo” and “The Home Edit” have inspired many people to look at all their stuff and find better ways to put it away or display it. With more people at home during the pandemic, we’ve heard a lot about garages, pantries, and closets getting cleared out, organized, and looking better than ever. I’ve never heard so many people excited about spring cleaning.But what we don’t hear about is digital clutter. All those desktop icons, random files, and “miscellaneous” folders you plan on going through soon but never get around to. Trying to remember where you put a document because it’s not where you think it should be and you can’t remember the exact name to search. That nagging thought in the back of your mind that you really should back up your computer, but you never seem to think about it when you actually have time to do it.Digital clutter can have the same negative effects as physical clutter, especially when you’re trying to get your work done. It can be distracting, slow down your productivity, and drain you of your energy. The problem is, once you close your laptop or turn off your computer, you don’t see it anymore. It doesn’t take up space the same way as too many clothes in a closet or a bunch of unlabeled bins in the garage, so it’s easier to ignore. But it can take up a lot of time if you can’t easily find the files you need throughout the day. I know I’ve mentioned how I feel about notifications and how just seeing that little red circle can irritate me. I’m the same way with a busy desktop on a computer. When I see someone working and there are folders and files all over, especially when they’re not even in alignment, all I can do is wonder how they function.Some people will say they actually function better in chaos. That things might be messy, but they know where everything is within the mess. And I’m sure that can be true to some degree, but that’s more of a band aid than a solution. It’s like taking the giant pile of receipts and other documents and sticking them all inside of a drawer rather than filing them where they belong. Sure, then you don’t have to see the clutter, but somewhere inside you still know it’s there. And yes, I say this from experience. I used to do it all the time because, for whatever reason, I really don’t like filing. I don’t have to do it much, it’s not hard, it doesn’t even take very long. I just don’t like it. But, I also can’t handle stacks of papers and other things on my desk while I work. So I have to keep up with it, whether I like it or not. We all have our things.The best way to digitally declutter is to put a system in place and follow it. Make it part of your workflow so it becomes a habit you don’t even have to think about anymore. The worst thing is to say, “I don’t have time to do that right now,” and put it off and then by the time you get around to it you have so many files it’s going to take you significantly longer to do. Remember my 5-minute rule – if it’s going to take less than 5 minutes, do it now. Naming a file or creating an email folder shouldn’t take more than a few seconds, and you’ll be glad you got it out of the way.The trick is to figure out a process that works for your brain so it’s easy to follow and maintain. It has to make sense to you or you won’t keep up with it. The easiest and greatest system in the world for one person might be incredibly confusing to someone else. So keep that in mind, whether you’re listening to this, reading a blog about a similar topic, or actively searching online for the “best” solution. Getting ideas can be helpful to get started, but chances are no one else out there is going to do things in the exact way that’s perfect for you. And you don’t want to spend so much time searching that you don’t get anything accomplished. I’ve been there plenty of times and it’s not a good place to be!That being said, I’ll take you through some of my digital organization systems to give you an idea of what I’m talking about. Starting with the most important part of my business, my clients. Without them, I don’t have any work, so that’s why they are priority.I have a “Clients” folder that lives within my documents and is linked under my favorites so I can access it easily. Within that folder, everything is separated by year. That helps me keep track of specific jobs better. I don’t want one giant folder with everything I’ve ever done because that’s just more clutter! I’ll talk about archiving later, but I generally keep the current year plus the two previous years on my computer because, in my line of work, I do have to refer back to older jobs fairly often so it’s easier to keep those files accessible to be safe.Within each year, each client has its own folder, which is labeled simply as the name of the company or person. Inside of that, each project gets its own folder, and everything related to it goes in there. Sometime that folder will get organized further, depending on what is needed. Like for a production, I’ll have folders for receipts, releases, permits, internal procedures, and those kinds of things. It all depends on what makes sense for each project.Each file is named specifically as well. You won’t ever find IMG_3568.jpg or a series of jumbled letters and numbers for the name of a PDF I downloaded on my computer. As soon as I download something, I name it what it is. I have a system for this, too. I’m sure you’re not surprised. It’s usually something along the lines of CLIENT_Date_Description. As an example, a handout I created for a workshop I teach at the Voice Actors Studio is labeled TVAS_091020_BookkeepingBasics. One note here, I give each client a 3- or 4-letter code so I’m not ending up with ridiculously long filenames. Do you know why? Because that looks like more clutter to me.Basically the idea is that everything says exactly what it is. In theory, anyone could intuitively understand how my system works. Meaning you might not have any idea what I do, but if I give you my laptop and ask you to find a FedEx receipt for a shipment related to job X in 2019, it wouldn’t take you very long because of the way it’s all organized. Consistency is important with everything, and this is no exception. If you structure everything the same way, you don’t even have to think about those little things anymore.This naming convention also helps if I need to search for a file on my computer. That’s why I include the client or vendor code in the filename, too. In some cases, I’m working with the same file types for a lot of different companies. I’ll use W9s as an example, because I have a lot of those. Say I need to find a W9 for Person A and it’s not where I think it should be, but I know I have it. I can do a search for W9 and find it easily because the person’s name is right there. But if I labeled each one with just W9 because it’s in a folder that says that person’s name already, doing that search would present several files and I’d have to open each one to see if it’s the right one. Not efficient.I use this exact same method for managing emails as well. I briefly mentioned this in the episode where I talked about how I accidentally deleted all of my inboxes. Fortunately, when that happened, this system is what saved me and made what could’ve been a complete disaster nothing more than a funny story. My inbox is my to-do list, and once something is done, it gets filed into a folder. It’s organized by year, by client, by project, and whatever specifics apply to that job. The only things I delete entirely are things I know for certain I will never need again, like a Zoom invitation or the 23 people responding “Thanks!” to a group email. Everything else gets filed in case I need to reference it again at some point in the future. This has been beyond helpful in many situations.Digital organization is important beyond my client work as well. This podcast is a perfect example. I have a podcast folder and inside that, each episode has its own folder. Within that is another folder for the various assets, which are the audio & video recordings, images, graphics, my intro, and all that fun stuff. The only files I put into the main folder for each episode are the finished pieces – the MP3 file of the podcast, the video file (if there is one), the image graphic, and the transcript. I also have a master spreadsheet, color-coded of course, to help me keep track of each step of each episode. I have tabs on that sheet for planning, content, topic ideas, potential guests, and more. I like spreadsheets because I can keep everything in one file. Less clutter. It’s a pattern, see?Decluttering isn’t just about getting a clean desktop or being able to search for files, though. It’s also about record-keeping and taking care of your business. When you’re organized, you don’t waste time looking for things or trying to figure out what happened 3 years ago when a client has a question. You might think you don’t need to know anything that far back, and that might be true most of the time, but I’ve been called some names by my clients. Magical. Superhero. Things like that. I’ve been able to find details that seem impossible solely because of my process.I’ve mentioned that I was a project manager for the 2016 Presidential Debate in Las Vegas. I worked on that event for 9 months. It involved a lot of people and a lot of details. It was changing constantly. I was in charge of the budget and had to show the numbers in so many different ways - detailed, simplified, a pie chart, categorizing information in multiple ways, and how it evolved from one version to the next. There is no way I could remember all of that stuff years later. But, in 2019, that client was trying to find out a specific piece of information – on what date the debate had decided to eliminate the option of a third party candidate. They had been trying to figure it out internally without much success, so they called me. It only took me a few minutes – I got the hard drive, plugged it in, opened my client folder, and because of how my files were organized, I was able to pinpoint it to a period of 4 days that the decision was made. Not magic. Just organization.I also have a system for my invoices and payments beyond my actual accounting software. Yes, everything lives in Quickbooks. But what if something happens to Quickbooks? You can never be too cautious with your business. So I keep digital copies of client invoices and payments. If I receive a check, I scan it and add it to the invoice PDF so there’s an easy reference of what it was and how it was paid. I have PDFs of every expense receipt, whether it was emailed, downloaded, or a scanned paper receipt, all labeled by date, vendor & purpose. I rarely need those files, but it’s a matter of having a backup for those “just in case” moments.Speaking of backups. That’s an important part of digital decluttering as well. It’s not just about having important files in multiple places in case a hard drive dies, although that’s pretty important. If you’ve ever had a hard drive quit on you, I’m sure you know how devastating it can be if you can’t recover something. Sometimes they can be repaired, but it can be costly and there’s never a guarantee. So having copies somewhere is good for peace of mind.Here’s what my backup system entails. My devices are all set to automatically back up. My phone & tablet go to the cloud and my computers use Time Machine so everything is backed up to an external hard drive every hour without me having to do anything. Beyond that, I save important files to separate external hard drives every month. And I use another cloud service for additional storage of certain things. Is it redundant? Yes. Do I care? No. I would rather be overly cautious than not cautious enough.These extra drives aren’t just for backups, though. They’re also for archiving files I no longer want to keep on my computer at all. Just like you probably function better when you have clean space around you, so do your machines. If you are using most of your storage, they have to work harder and it can slow down everything you do. So it’s helpful to get stuff off of there if you can. Like I said earlier, I usually keep the current year plus the previous 2 years’ files on my computer. Older years have been archived onto external hard drives so I still have everything, but it isn’t slowing down anything I’m doing currently. The biggest files I’m working with are related to this podcast, so each month I archive the episodes that have been published. It’s part of my routine that helps me stay uncluttered.I got a new iMac earlier this year. The one I had was about 9 years old and not very robust. It had been fine for what I was doing, but it became clear that because I’m working with more video & audio files, I needed an upgrade. Typically, when I get a new computer, I copy everything from one to the other. But I realized I’ve been doing this for so long, there’s a good chance there was plenty of stuff on there I didn’t actually need, and I didn’t want to bring that onto the new one, so I started from scratch. My brother gave me some good advice about only storing documents and small files on the computer’s main hard drive and keeping the larger files on external hard drives. Back in the day, that could get pretty clunky, but hard drives are so tiny and cute now, it’s easy to have some 2TB SSD drives connected for all that stuff. So between the new, more powerful, less cluttered computer, & my upgraded Internet, I’m so much more efficient than I was when I started. A video that used to take me an hour to upload now goes up in minutes. So there’s something to be said about making an investment in new equipment. Sometimes we hold off because we don’t want to spend the money, but we don’t realize how much time it’s costing us. Something to think about.Digital decluttering might not be the most exciting topic. I get it. But maybe we can find the same joy in tidying up our machines as we do organizing a pantry. I apply the ideas I’ve talked about here to every document, spreadsheet, photo, and anything else that lives digitally on my machines. It helps me stay focused on what I need to do without wasting time figuring out where things are. I have been told I’m too organized. And I’m okay with that. I love having a place for everything. I love a good color-coded spreadsheet. This is what works for me and keeps my brain happy. Find what works for you and get rid of that digital clutter. You might not be able to show it off in a pretty picture, but you’ll still feel good inside.
How long does it take for you or your team member to find something? Are they in places that are easy to find? Or does it take 45 minutes to find the exact thing you’re looking for. This is quite common, especially in this digital era we live in, when it’s easier to just create a new document or video… but then the old, outdated one is still living somewhere, taking up digital space and causing confusion. This can actually be a huge inefficiency to your business. Think about it, if it takes someone on your team 5 minutes to find something, it’s all good. But if it takes 45 minutes to dig around, that’s costing you money and creating frustration. On this episode of the Run Like Clockwork podcast, Adrienne talks about digital clutter as a major source of inefficiency in business. Since being a Lean Six Sigma expert in her corporate/large manufacturing career, she has adapted the principals + tools for efficiency in small businesses. Topics Adrienne covers in this episode: The cost of clutter How to apply the Lean Six Sigma system called 5S to your digital + physical world Elaborates on the 5S’s: Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain How to use the Clockwork ACDC framework for organizing What’s at stake if you don’t set up and sustain a digital system? Well, you waste time and money, and cause a lot of stress + frustration by not having efficient systems to keep you and your team organized and standardized. Bonus tip: it does not have to be you setting up and maintaining the systems. You could assign it to a team member. #winning Let us know how it goes!

Still on the conversation of digital minimalism, we discuss how we've somewhat become overly reliant on technology to carry out even the most mundane & simple tasks. With the ever-growing presence of social media in our lives, we talk about some of the negative ways social media affects us as guys which begs to ask the question- “Is the digital domain becoming the new metrics of defining self worth?”
I declutter sentimental digital items, namely photos and videos of my personal memories. I also share my plans for this week, including an exciting backpacking trip!

Technology is our life line, keeping us connected and informed, but you can have too much of a good thing. Don't let it overwhelm and overrun you. This week's episode is about all the digital noise we expose ourselves to and the impact this may be having on our productivity and mental health.

The volume of information and debate, the questions being asked and the search for their answers - all this has been, in the words of my clients and friends, “utterly exhausting”. This podcast gives you permission to let go of some of this digital noise, and offers you practical solutions that will help you be a more responsible gatekeeper of how much you allow into your brain.

Nick Wolny is a marketing and media strategist for coaches, consultants and entrepreneurs and has been featured on a variety of publications including The Wall Street Journal, Elephant Journal and Mens Health for his expertise on productivity, automation and self improvement. Recently, he’s been featured on FOX discussing Digital Decluttering and how to curb your smartphone addiction.Tip of the Day: Monitor How Much time you actually use your smartphone and other devices.There are ways to do this now with apps like Moment and the Screen Time Feature on iOS. If you spend one minute a day at the beginning or end of the day to see what apps your time has been spent on and how much you’re actually using your phone. Many people find that getting into this empirical data and being able to know exactly where your time is being spent, can motivate you to change your behaviour. See if monitoring your device time can help you introduce some changes!Some of the questions I ask:When was it that you became concerned about smartphone addiction? [2:44]What were some of the first things that you started to try to do to address it? [5:42]What would you say to people who have concerns about not being able to implement a series of steps or protocols to be mindful with technology and use technology less? [12:20]Our culture has come to value the autonomy in working conditions that technology has bought us. How can we make our time use more intentional? [14:12]Are there any new techniques or ways of thinking that are now emerging that go in a different direction from amping up the level more and more? [18:16]From the point of view of consumers, what else can we do in addition to the protocols to take that awareness of how the marketing landscape is changing so that we can be protective of ourselves? [20:45]Do you have any motivation or small steps that you could recommend for people to try to be more mindful with their smartphone use? [23:16]What you’ll learn:How Nick came to be passionate about smartphone addiction by observing his own behavioural patterns around technology [2:51]Ways to be more diligent with your time [6:02]How flexible hours can actually be working against us [6:23]Some tips if you’re an entrepreneur in a client service based industry and a lot of your deliverables rely on being connected [7:12]The Wake Up protocol [7:38]A Warm Up protocol [8:27]The Completion protocol [10:03]Have a night time protocol [10:59]How our perception is that we have less time than we actually have available [12:58]The ubiquity of information and how people consume social media in a mindless state of scrolling [15:10]The game is changing on how to make people aware of brands and business’ because people’s attention is totally fried [17:58]How attention is currency and some of the ways you can get people into your corner from a marketing perspective [19:44]When everything is getting faster, it comes down to you and taking personal responsibility for your smartphone use and consumption [21:28]Take one of the four protocols and take the smaller steps to implement them into your life [23:41]Resources:Nick Wolny WebsiteMoment AppScreen Time AppGary Vaynerchuk See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Our personal papers (notebooks, journals, scrap paper, post-it notes, etc.) are where we capture thoughts, emotions, memories, quotes, lists, ideas, and more. When our papers become disorganized or we have simply accumulated a LOT of them, it can start to feel like we're drowning in paper. Or, as the listener who suggested this topic for the podcast shared, "I am drowning in my own words!" Today I'll share a few ways that we can address the personal paper flow from 2 perspectives: 1. Stemming the flow of papers coming in (or that we're creating) by using mindfulness and creating new systems. 2. Purifying the accumulated papers by committing time to sitting with them and using clarifying questions to determine what stays and what gets recycled. To be added to the Let's Purify! email list and receive your PDF of the 15 Clarity-Boosting Questions, simply click here and enter your name and email address. You'll receive two versions: one has explanations with each question and the other is consolidated with just the questions themselves. I hope it's helpful as you're sorting through your personal papers and beyond! If you're having trouble keeping your digital papers organized and efficient, consider listening to episode 013 Digital Decluttering with Sarah Steckler for some inspiration! In a future episode, I'll be addressing administrative papers like tax returns, bank statements, paid bills, legal documents, etc. Stay tuned! Thank you to the listener who shared this episode idea and for sharing your experience with your papers! If you have a topic idea for The Let's Purify! Podcast, please email me at michael@letspurify.energy and I'll see if it's a fit for the show.
Are your laptop, desktop, and phone a total mess with digital clutter?? I know all of mine are... Thankfully the wonderful and talented Sarah Steckler, Mindfulness Practitioner and Productivity Strategist of MindfulProductivityBlog.com, is here to help us out! Digital clutter can leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed and unproductive. It can also detract from the "sacred digital space" that our devices have the potential to be. "We build up a tolerance to physical and digital clutter - we don't realize how draining it is." So true, Sarah. So true. When we bring mindfulness, awareness, and intention to our digital lives, it is possible to create new habits and practices. We can begin to stem the flow of new clutter coming in and organize what remains. Sarah says, "My computer should feel just as magical and awesome as the rest of my home!" I couldn't agree more. I'm already making changes in my digital life from what I learned in this interview. I hope this episode inspires you to clear out and purify your digital devices. This can lead you to greater peace, serenity, organization and productivity. Win-win-win-win! Here is a link to the Forest time management app Sarah mentioned.
