🌱 Spring Cleaning Isn’t Just for Your Closet

Spring cleaning gets all the attention for closets and junk drawers, but what about the mental clutter? The meetings you don’t need to be in, the half-finished projects draining your energy, or the productivity hacks that promise more than they deliver?

Let’s be honest: the real reason most of us don’t feel productive isn’t because we need a better to-do list.

It’s because we’re doing too much.

Inspired by James Clear’s guide to productivity, this week is all about clearing the mental cobwebs, so you can focus on what actually matters.

Step 1: Declutter Your Inputs

You don’t need more information. You need fewer distractions.

Mute the group chats you never open. Archive the 52 browser tabs promising “how to finally organize your Notion.”

Your mind works like a room—if it’s crammed with junk, you can’t move freely. Make space.

Step 2: Drop the Dead Weight

You can’t optimize something that shouldn’t exist.

James Clear says the best productivity hack is elimination. What if you simply said no? Or paused the project you keep rewriting on every weekly planning list?

Ask yourself: If I didn’t already commit to this, would I choose to take it on today?

If the answer is no, let it go.

Step 3: Pick a Tiny Priority

Productivity isn’t doing more, it’s doing what matters.

James calls it the difference between motion and action. Motion is endless prep and planning. Action is picking the one thing that moves the needle.

So what’s the one thing that would make everything else easier or irrelevant?

Do that. Just that.

A Spring Reset Isn’t About Doing More

It’s about removing the noise so your real priorities can breathe.

Because the most productive version of you doesn’t work 24/7.

They just know what to ignore.

PS: If your calendar feels like a junk drawer, maybe it’s time to spring clean that too. Block off a full afternoon to reset, cancel what’s not serving you, and come back to center.

You don’t need more tools. Just more clarity.
