Digital clutter isn’t just a bit annoying. It’s cognitively demanding - the invisible weight you carry around in the background that slowly drains your focus, decision-making, and energy.

In this episode of Messy Business, I’m talking about the mental load of digital clutter: the tabs you never close, the old offers you don’t run anymore, the Canva designs you’ll never use, the dusty folders called some meaningless name, and the inbox that gradually becomes a list of things asking something of you.

This isn’t an episode about productivity, inbox zero, or becoming some kind of minimalist monk. It’s an orienteering episode, because when everything feels foggy, heavy, scattered, or “I don’t know what I’m doing anymore”, sometimes the most stabilising thing you can do is remove the background noise.

I share what it’s felt like to start 2026 by making small, doable edits - like closing 65 Chrome tabs (yes, really), getting my inbox down from 1,256 emails to 35, and deleting photos so I’m not paying for endless iCloud storage. Not because I became a new person overnight, but because I needed to feel lighter. 

We talk about:

If your head feels full, your business feels noisy, or you can’t hear what you actually want anymore… this episode will help you reorient. Not by adding more, but by removing what no longer belongs.

✨ Sometimes the most supportive thing you can do isn’t to plan better. It’s to delete what’s been under-the-radar asking something of you for years.
