    The 4 Categories of What to Keep as Reference 1. Identity & Legal

    Documents that establish who you are:

    • Birth certificate

    • Passport

    • Social Security card

    • Marriage or divorce records

    • Name change documents

    These are foundational and worth keeping accessible.

    2. Financial & Tax

    Documents tied to money and compliance:

    • Last 7 years of tax returns

    • Current-year financial records

    • Property deeds or titles

    • Insurance policies

    Older financial paperwork is rarely needed beyond this window.

    3. Medical

    Documents that support continuity of care:

    • Vaccination records

    • Major diagnoses or procedures

    • Current insurance information

    Stacks of old printouts are usually unnecessary.

    4. Home

    Documents related to the home you live in now:

    • Warranties for items you still own

    • Manuals you actually reference

    • Major repair or renovation records

    If it doesn't support your current home, it likely doesn't need to stay.

    Hey guys,

    In this episode, we focus on the Organize step — the point where mental clutter turns into structure. Organizing isn't about making things look neat. It's about deciding where something belongs so your brain doesn't have to keep track of it.

    Using principles from Getting Things Done, we walk through the core organizing categories and how each one reduces stress when used correctly.

    If you want to go deeper and have support decluttering your home consistently, the year-long program is open. You can find all the details at declutteryourchaos.com.

    Jan 20 2026

    Hey guys,

    Office clutter isn't just about stuff — it's about unfinished work living in physical form.

    In this episode, I walk you through how to apply the core ideas from Getting Things Done to decluttering the office, so decisions feel lighter and overwhelm stops running the show.

    Rather than using GTD as a productivity system, we use it as a way to reduce cognitive load, contain unfinished commitments, and streamline your tasks so you can get your office decluttered.

    If you want to go deeper and have support decluttering your home consistently, the year-long program is open. You can find all the details at declutteryourchaos.com.

  • 335 | Day 1 - Office Decluttering | Your 3 Step Plan
    Jan 18 2026

    Hey guys,

    In this episode, we begin a series focused on the office and explore why this space so often becomes the physical version of the to-do list — and what that has to do with overwhelm, avoidance, and self-abandonment.

    We'll also slow the nervous system down together and walk through a simple, three-step plan for approaching your office without burning out or overfunctioning.

    This episode isn't about productivity or finishing everything.
    It's about beginning differently — with clarity, containment, and self-support.

    ✨Come home to yourself. ✨

    If you want to go deeper and have support decluttering your home consistently, the year-long program is open. You can find all the details at declutteryourchaos.com.

  • 334 | Nervous System Regulation for Decluttering
    Jan 14 2026

    Hey Guys,

    What if decluttering wasn't about finding the perfect system…
    but about learning how to feel safe enough to let go?

    In today's episode of Declutter Your Chaos, we explore why clutter isn't a motivation problem — it's a nervous system response — and how simple, science-backed regulation tools can help you stop avoiding your home and start making real progress.

    You'll learn:

    • Why overwhelmed nervous systems delay decisions (and how clutter becomes a coping strategy)

    • How to calm your body so letting go feels easier

    • Three simple nervous system tools you can use while decluttering

    • A guided "coming home to yourself" meditation to reconnect with your intuition

    This episode is about stopping the push… and starting with presence.

    When you feel safe in your body, your home becomes easier to care for.

    ✨Come home to yourself. ✨

    If you want to go deeper and have support doing this consistently, the year-long program is open. You can find all the details at declutteryourchaos.com.

  • 333 | Why New Years Resolutions Fail to Last
    Jan 13 2026

    Hey Guys,

    What if your clutter isn't a sign that something is wrong with you — but a sign of how much you've carried?

    In this episode Amber reframes clutter through the lens of psychology and the nervous system. Instead of seeing mess as laziness, disorganization, or lack of discipline, you'll learn how clutter often forms as a coping strategy when life becomes overwhelming.

    This episode explains why clutter can get out of control, why it's so hard to let go, and why traditional motivation-based decluttering never sticks — even when you really want change.

    ✨Come home to yourself. 💫

  • 331 | Day 2 - January Reset 2026
    Jan 8 2026

    Hey Friends,

    Decluttering isn't a motivation problem.
    It's a nervous system problem.

    In today's episode, we talk about why clutter often shows up as a coping strategy during seasons of overwhelm—and why pressure, shame, and "just trying harder" don't work.

    You'll learn how avoidance forms, what maladaptive coping looks like in the home, and how to work with your nervous system instead of against it.

    This episode includes a guided nervous system regulation practice you can use anytime—before decluttering, when you feel overwhelmed, or when you notice yourself avoiding your space.
