Mini-Episode: Paper Clutter Check-In


Listen Later

Feeling surrounded by piles of paper—on the counter, in your bag, or hidden in drawers?

This 10-minute guided practice helps you pause, breathe, and tackle just one small stack without shame or overwhelm.

In This Short Practice
  • 🌬 Land Where You Are – a 1–2 minute grounding pause to settle your body and mind.
  • 📂 Sort One Small Stack – gentle, 5-minute sorting using four simple categories: Important, Uncertain, Trash/Recycle, Belongs Elsewhere.
  • 🧘‍♀️ Pause + Reflect – notice what shifted and give yourself credit.
  • Optional Next Step – choose a single, easy action to wrap up.

This isn’t about finishing everything—it’s about starting small and creating momentum.

What You’ll Need
  • A small pile of paper clutter (from your desk, counter, or bag)
  • A timer or phone (optional)
  • A few minutes of quiet space

Why It Helps

Small, mindful resets keep paper from taking over and give your nervous system a break.

You’ll leave this mini-episode with less visual noise and more breathing room—inside and out.
