Spring Cleaning For Home, Head and Heart

Spring Cleaning For Home, Head and Heart

The origins of spring cleaning date back to times when homes were heated by fires: spring, then, offered an opportunity to sweep out the soot and grime that accumulated throughout the long winter. These days, the tradition of deep cleaning in spring rejuvenates our spaces, increases productivity, and clears out dust and other allergens.

On today’s miniature episode we apply the principles of spring cleaning to all important areas of our lives for greater clarity and well-being as we welcome the start of a new season.

 

Here’s a preview:

[3:00] The importance of clearing out old, stagnant energy in your home this spring

[7:15] What psychology says about emotional clutter (and one antidote to remedy it)

[12:00] How information overload impacts mental clutter, with thoughts on reducing it for greater clarity

What We Leave Behind

Every week, we drag our trash bins to the curb, close the lid, and forget about them. But where does "away" actually go? And does the mere existence of waste "management" mean we can continue to consume more and more without major consequence?

On today's show, author and sanitation worker Simon Paré-Poupart discusses what he's learned in his 20 years on the back of a Montreal haul truck. He's here to pull back the curtain on the grueling yet essential work of waste collection. He's also here to offer a  sociological reflection on modern consumerism, systemic waste, and the human cost of hiding our cultural detritus.

Here's a preview:

[5:00] We didn't always have all this trash, and we didn't always have a need for "waste management"

[12:00] A society's trash reveals an awful lot about a society. What does our trash reveal about us?

[19:00] Recycling might give us a boost of moral satisfaction, but that moral satisfaction is ultimately just fuel to buy more stuff

[22:00] On why waste management is integral to maintaining the status quo

[27:30] The mere existence waste management is a symptom of this much larger problem
