Gatekeeping Your Peace

Gatekeeping Your Peace

When it comes to reducing cell phone use, we’ve all heard the advice. Turn off notifications. Unfollow and unfriend. But this advice? It’s stale. Shallow, even, because it does little to *actually* reduce time spent on screens.

We often discuss gatekeeping our homes and the responsibility that comes with deciding what gets granted admittance. On today’s show we identify what it means to be the gatekeeper of our peace by once and for all getting intentional with our tech.

 

Here’s a preview:

[10:30] Enter white space: How to incrementally extend the length of time between your cell phone checks

[12:30] Has the work-from-home movement ballooned our use of tech?

[18:30] Here’s the stuff you really, really should be deleting from your phone

[22:00] The one phone-related step you can take to improve your focus, well-being, and relationships

[26:00] Are you a phubber?

Revisiting The Capsule Wardrobe Conversation

Have a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear? While capsule wardrobes are often touted as the singular solution to closet overwhelm, many report that they can be restrictive, boring and, frankly, unrealistic in practice.

A minimalist closet is best served by first identifying the outfits needed to live YOUR unique life. On today's show podcaster Lauren Morley shows us how to streamline our wardrobes, say goodbye to clutter, and feel effortlessly put together every day by focusing less on capsules and more on a 20 outfit wardrobe, instead.

 

Here's a preview:

[5:30] Identifying exactly where and why capsule wardrobes fall short

[11:00] Why doesn't buying more clothes solve the problems associated with getting dressed? Conversely, why isn't decluttering the singular solution?

[16:00] Say goodbye to capsule wardrobes and hello to your 20 outfit wardrobe

[20:00] Getting to the root of our cultural reverence for bottomless closets

[28:00] The trend cycle is not your friend, so hop off that bandwagon!
