Millennial Minimalists

What happens when our digital spaces feel almost endless, making it easy to keep accumulating without ever stopping to ask what we actually need?

In this episode, Kelly is joined by digital organization expert and tech and productivity coach Amanda Jefferson to explore how we can simplify our digital lives and create a healthier relationship with technology.

Amanda breaks down the Big Four categories of digital clutter: emails, files,
passwords and photos, and shares practical strategies to better
manage each one. You’ll learn how to organize desktop files, declutter the
photos on your phone, make better use of cloud storage and password managers, and discover helpful apps, shortcuts and everyday systems that can make your digital life easier to maintain.

Kelly and Amanda also discuss how digital clutter can impact our well-being and productivity, why decluttering what we already have can be more helpful than simply buying more storage, and how to make technology work for you rather than against you.

Be inspired to tackle your digital clutter and create a more organized and intentional digital life.

The emotional cost of visual noise and household clutter

The four practices behind the House Hushing method

Why clutter often attracts more clutter throughout the home

The surprising item found in every home that can predict clutter

Why living with a quieter room can help clarify what deserves to return

How to furnish a new home without rushing to fill it

For the past eighteen years, Myquillyn has encouraged readers and hundreds of thousands of followers to create beautiful, meaningful spaces that truly support their lives. Her House Hushing method has been featured in Real Simple, The Kitchn, Apartment Therapy, and The Guardian.
