We all know how to declutter a closet—but what about decluttering our to-do lists, calendars, opportunities, and even relationships? In this episode, Marissa Hyatt and Ken Freire share the power of the Not-To-Do List and how subtracting things from your life can make space for what truly matters.

Key Takeaways

• Some Tasks Should Have Been Retired Years Ago. Are you still doing things out of habit that no longer serve a purpose? It’s time for a reality check.
• Meetings Are the Biggest Time Thieves. Most recurring meetings don’t need to exist—or at the very least, they need a serious time limit.
• Who’s in Your Inner Circle? You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with—so choose wisely.
• Not Every Opportunity is Meant for You. Just because you can say yes doesn’t mean you should. (Marissa shares why she had to say no to a dream trip.)
• Decluttering Creates Space for What Matters. This isn’t about doing less—it’s about making room for the things that actually move the needle.

We all love our devices—but let’s be real, they’re stealing more of our time and attention than we realize. In this episode, Marissa Hyatt and Ken Freire share 10 simple, engaging activities that help you step away from your screen and reconnect with the real world. Whether you’re looking for more focus, deeper connections, or just a break from the endless scroll, these ideas will help you reset.

Key Takeaways

1. The Reality We Ignore. Ken thought he was on his phone for about four hours a week. The reality? Four hours a day. If you’ve never checked your own stats, brace yourself.
2. Handwriting Is a Superpower. A simple note can have way more impact than a text—and Ken’s unexpected reaction to a handwritten card proves it.
3. Sourdough Is the New Tamagotchi. Marissa’s favorite hobby is oddly addictive, surprisingly meditative, and might just be the perfect way to reset your brain.
4. Lose the Destination, Find Your Focus. Walking without a goal might sound pointless, but it could be the secret to clarity, creativity, and real connection.
5. Try Something Totally Unexpected. Ken and Marissa each committed to one offbeat activity this week to unplug—will you take the challenge, too?
