What's up guys? Welcome back to the podcast. Today we are going to be talking all about how to spring clean your entire life. Last week we talked about how to create a personal curriculum for spring. So you can tell that I'm kind of on a kick right now for spring. And I think that's because I just love seasons of change. Whether it's spring, fall, winter, summer, new year, whatever, I love chatting about the different changes that are coming. And it just really revs me up. And honestly, I feel like these episodes are just as much for me as they are for you. Because whenever I create an episode like this, it's something where I'm like, okay, I need to make this framework that I can follow step by step and implement this for my own life. So I hope that it helps you just as much as it's helping me. But basically, when I'm talking about spring cleaning your entire life, we're really going to be focusing on physical clutter and mental clutter that we want to get rid of because this time of year is when we reassess what needs to go and when we decide what should stay in our lives. So I'm going to be chatting with you guys about a few different categories when it comes to spring cleaning, like your home, your technology, your mind, and your relationships. So let's dive in. Welcome to where the woo meets the work. I'm your host, Kayla. It's time to get out of your head, into your soul, and do the work that lights you up so you can align with your highest self and actually create the life you've been dreaming about. When it comes to spring cleaning your entire life, I feel like the first thing that we should start with is your home because that's pretty obvious, right? When we're thinking of spring cleaning, we probably think about our home and all of the things that have been building up over the year that we want to get rid of, declutter, recenter ourselves. But first, I just want to mention a couple of things, which is to give yourself maybe like a week or two to do this. Don't think that you have to spring clean your entire home in one day, because that's first of all, probably not possible and it's just going to stress you out. So however long you need to spring clean your home, just think about that in your mind and give yourself that amount of time to do it. I suggest making a list of everything that you want to clean out and declutter and then assign a day to all of the categories. And of course, you want to declutter first before you actually clean anything because it's so hard to clean around a bunch of stuff. And don't worry, I'm going to give you guys tons of ideas about what you should be spring cleaning out of your life. That's what this whole episode is about. But I just kind of wanted to say that first. And then last couple things are to set a time limit for decluttering because I feel like when you start to declutter things, you're going to become a little bit overwhelmed depending on how much stuff you have. And then you might start to face decision fatigue and become exhausted. So set a time limit and then clean room by room. So let's get into home. When we're thinking of physical stuff in your home that you want to get rid of, we're thinking about items that no longer serve us. Ask yourself things like when you're going through your items, does this item serve a purpose? Does it bring me joy? If I had to buy this again, would I? Have those questions top of mind when you start decluttering and cleaning your home. The first area that I like to start with for home is to get rid of expired products. I actually started a skincare routine kind of recently, but I haven't thrown away my old products yet. And I noticed that a number of them are expired. Like I literally moved to Las Vegas almost seven years ago with some of these products. I still have them and I'm like, there's no way that this face mask is still good. It's probably crusty as hell because I haven't used it these seven years that I've lived here. And that's another thing too. Like, even if your products aren't expired, if you haven't used them in years, and this applies to anything, and they're not bringing you joy, and they're just kind of sitting there collecting dust, that's a very good indication that you should get rid of them. Go through your bathroom, look at all of your things in the drawers, in your cabinets, in your medicine cabinet, and throw away anything that's expired. The same thing applies to your pantry and to your refrigerator. Go through all of that stuff and throw away anything that's expired. The next thing would be to deep clean your appliances. This is something I really want to do this spring, specifically my refrigerator. I noticed the other day that it's getting kind of grimy and not very fresh. And that's kind of gross when you think about it because all of your food sits in there and we eat that. And I don't want my food being in a germy environment. So I'm probably just going to take out everything, get some wet wipes, wipe everything down, dry it all, and then put everything back in. And you can also do this with your microwave and with your oven. I should probably do that, but to be honest, I don't know if I'm gonna get to all of that, but the fridge is a big one for me. This one should not be a surprise to anyone, but when you're cleaning out your home for spring cleaning, your closet. This is huge. And honestly, this could be the sole focus of your spring cleaning. You might not even have time for anything else if you have a large closet or you have a lot of clothes that you haven't gone through in a long time. So my recommendation for this would be to go through every single piece. Literally pull out everything in your closet, and if you feel like it, maybe even try everything on. I know that's a huge task, but sometimes when we look at something on the hanger, it can look really cute or it could look not so cute, but then we put on and we're like, wow, okay, this looks great, or oh, this is not looking good. I don't really like this anymore. And then anything that no longer fits well or that isn't your style anymore, just put it in a pile to get rid of it. I don't really have any other tips for your closet besides that, and maybe breaking it up into small increments. Maybe one day you do jackets, the next you do short sleeve tops, the next you dresses, pants, shoes, and so on, and just approaching it by category so that you're not overwhelmed with your entire closet staring at you. You could also clean out other closets. I know that my downstairs closet, for instance, I hardly ever go in there, but it has things like wrapping paper, gift baskets, my cat carriers, a bunch of random stuff, pool toys. So that's definitely something that my husband and I should go through, clean out anything that's no longer useful. So maybe for you, you have a coat closet or something like that that you want to go through too. Next is bookshelves. If you have bookshelves, I would go through and reassess. Do you actually like all of the books on your bookshelf? Are you going to read these books again? Are they precious to you? Where do you stand with all of the books? And maybe go through the books, take out ones that you think actually this book wasn't that great, or I don't think I'll ever read this book again. I know a lot of people have books as decoration, which to be honest, I find kind of strange. I don't know. I was actually just talking to my husband about this today because I photographed an interior design session and it was actually a home library, which was so cool. It was amazing. I would love to have a library in my home. But it was funny because I showed him just a little video of the space and he was like, that is so much wasted space. And he didn't mean to have a library is wasted space, but he meant what was actually on their shelves because it was hardly any books and mostly knick-knacks. And yeah, I just have beef, to be honest, with people buying mass-produced knick-knacks to style their shelves. And I could probably go on a whole tangent about that, so I won't. But yeah, anyways, go through your bookshelves, get rid of things that no longer serve you, books that you're no longer going to read, and put them in a pile. Maybe put them in a pile with all the clothes that you're gonna get rid of. Next up is washing your sheets. I feel like everyone is different about this, how often that they wash their sheets. I'm not even gonna tell you how often I wash my sheets because I don't want judgment. Maybe you think I wash them not frequently enough, or maybe you think I wash them too often. I don't know. But you can probably guess that I I err on this side of not washing them enough, to be honest. I know some people wash them every week, and I'm like, how? How do you have the time? I literally hate washing my sheets. I will do it. Like I definitely wash them, don't worry. But I don't wash them every week. And sometimes time just slips by. So if you're listening to this, wash your sheets right now because now is a good time to do it. And maybe also switch out your bedding if you have spring or summer bedding compared to fall and winter bedding. Maybe you like lighter bedding this time of year. Now is a great time to switch out. Maybe have more of a spring vibe too. Maybe you have cute seasonal spring sheets and comforter. I do not. I use the same thing year-round because I love sleeping with it at exactly 67 degrees every single night. But who knows how you sleep. So that could be something you do. You should also definitely clean under your furniture, move your furniture around, vacuum underneath of it, mop underneath of it if you have hard floors or tile, because that probably does not happen that often. So that's a big part of spring cleaning, I feel like. You could also clean out your junk drawer. I feel like every home has a junk drawer where we just throw a random crap in it. My junk drawer has papers, extra straws from McDonald's, sauces, things like that. So clean it out, throw away expired sauces, and all of those billions of straws or plastic forks that you've gotten through drive-thru that you're probably never going to use. Throw it away, throw away old bills that you paid, all that stuff. And kind of a similar note to this, I wrote down a note to clean off the chair. I don't know if you guys have something like this, but I have a chair in my main bedroom where I just throw stuff on the chair. It's where I throw clothes where they're not totally dirty, but they're not totally clean. Do you know what I mean? Where it's like, oh, I wore this card again for a couple hours. I don't want to put it back in my closet because, you know, it's not perfectly clean, but I also don't want to wash it again. I want to wear it another time. So it goes on the chair. And sometimes other things go on the chair. Maybe I got a card from someone and I want to put it in my card box, but I'm too lazy. It goes on the chair. So if you have a chair that's like this, or maybe a stool or a basket or something, it's time to clean it off. Okay, so the last two things I have for the house category are very large things. I put garage, which that can be a huge project. So disregard this if you're like, girl, no, that's like a whole, that's like a whole summer project where it would take me all summer to get through that. That's totally fine. I don't know what the state of your garage is, but looking at my neighborhood, I would say that most people's garages are probably full of crap because most people don't really seem to park in their garage, which I find crazy. My garage definitely has a bunch of stuff in it, and that's actually something that we are cleaning right now. So that's kind of our spring cleaning project. I barely have anything in the garage. I literally have just like a bin of Christmas ornament stuff and a couple other Christmas things. Oh, the Christmas tree, and then a couple of photography things, but really it's not that much stuff. My husband is the one who has so much stuff in the garage, but he is selling most of it, getting rid of most of it, because we're actually going to turn our third parking spot in our garage, because we have a three-car garage, we're gonna turn it into like a home theater kind of a thing. So yeah, it is a huge project though. So if you're like, no, that is not in the cards, totally understand. The other one that I put is your car to clean out your car. I really hope that this is manageable and not something you have to put off until summer because your car should not have that much stuff in it. So hopefully you can do this. I'm someone who keeps my car pretty freaking tidy. I don't leave anything in it. All I have in it is like in the glove box, I keep some emergency things like toilet paper, hand sanitizer, medicine, chapstick. And then I also have a snack pouch that I keep in the back seat and like a first aid kit, but that is it. So for me, cleaning my car is not part of my spring cleaning ritual, but I know for a lot of people it could be, especially if you have kids. So those are my thoughts for the home part, the physical clutter that you may have. I hope that that's helpful. I do want to point out that once you have gone through, decluttered, spring cleaned everything, something that I love to do is I like to create a re-gifting area. I don't know what your guys' opinion is going to be on this. I feel like some people might think it's cheesy or tacky to re-gift things. And I think that's stupid to think that, to be honest. I'm like, why wouldn't I re-gift something if I'm not going to use it? Why would I not try to bless someone else with something? It's literally better for the environment. There's no reason to go out and buy something else when there's already something in existence in my house if I think someone is going to like it. So I have a re-gifting area where I put things right away, actually. My husband makes fun of me because I am not a very sentimental person. Like if someone gives me a gift that I just know I'm not going to use that day, I literally put it in the regifting pile. Maybe that sounds cold or harsh, but it's just how I am. I'm like, well, I know I'm gonna give this to someone else and it's gonna be great. It's not a dramatic thing. So go through your clothes, anything that you think you could re-gift. Maybe you have some clothes that still have tags on them or something like that. You could put them in the regifting area. Same thing with your books or knickknacks or whatever that you're getting rid of. Maybe someone else in your life would appreciate it. Put it in the regifting area. I also just thought of another thing that you could declutter that I did not mention, which is definitely your kitchen cabinets. Putting that out there because that's actually something I need to do. I have so much kitchen stuff that I probably need to go through because I don't use all of it and I have so many cabinets, and I should really just clear some of them out. But, anyways, regifting. I think it's great. I don't think there's anything wrong with regifting something. Obviously, don't re-gift something to the person who gave it to you. That would be messed up. But if they didn't give it to you and you genuinely think they would like it, re-gift away. I would never be offended if someone re-gifted me something. The other thing you can do is you can take photos of things that are in good condition and sell them online. There are some things that I have like handbags and things like that that I don't particularly want to regift and that I think I could maybe get some money out of. So I've actually taken all of the pictures for them, but I have not listed them yet on like Facebook Marketplace or Offer Up, and that's something I'm going to do. Now we are going to move on to the technology category. This is all of your digital clutter. I really believe that digital clutter is just as stressful, sometimes more stressful, than physical clutter in your home. So as a part of the spring cleaning, I really think that we need to get rid of that stuff. Let's start with the computer. The first thing on your computer that you should be spring cleaning, in my opinion, is cleaning up your desktop. If you're that kind of person who has a bunch of stuff on your desktop, whether it's downloads or documents or photos, clean that shit up. I just have a few folders on my desktop. Everything goes into the folders. If you are living that way with stuff all over your desktop, I'm trying not to judge you, but it like, I don't know how you're not stressed. How does how do you open up your computer every day and just be like, oh, everything's fine? I don't know. It's the type A in me. I cannot. I just cannot. It literally like makes my body not feel good. So if that's you, please, please, please make some folders on your desktop. Even if you just make one folder and title it all of my shit and just dump all of your shit into that folder, that's enough. That's gonna just make you feel a lot better looking at your desktop that doesn't have stuff all over it. Next thing is your email. So the goal with your email, I would say for spring cleaning is to get it to a more manageable place. Maybe that looks like inbox zero for you. But if not, if you're someone who, like my husband, has a hundred thousand unread emails, then I'm sorry, it's never gonna happen for you. So, and that's okay. Just make peace with it and be like, inbox zero is not in my future, that's okay. Let's just try to stay up to date on the current emails, and then maybe your inbox zero is actually like inbox a hundred thousand, like you never want it to get more than a hundred thousand, and that's totally fine. I've had people before wonder how I get to inbox zero. They think that I'm just deleting every email, and that is not the case. I'm not telling you to delete emails because you're probably going to need to reference them later. A lot of them could be important. So, what I do is I create labels on the side, like on the left-hand side. I use Gmail, by the way. So I create labels and then I archive my emails into those labels. For example, I have labels like client communication, vendor communication, receipts, things like that. And you can make the labels whatever you want. You could have it be personal, business, whatever. But just archive your emails so that way they are not in your inbox, they are in a different separate folder that you would actually have to click on to see those emails. So then there is no visual clutter clogging up your inbox. Lastly, with your computer for spring cleaning, I would encourage you to unsubscribe from pointless marketing emails. Whether it's Uber Eats or Target or your favorite clothing brand, whatever it is, we do not need to be getting a shit ton of emails being sent to us every single day. It's just more work that you have to do to delete them, even if you don't open them, just clicking that little box and deleting them. It does take time every single day. Plus, I feel like usually you could be tempted to buy things that you wouldn't normally buy. So the next time you get an email from a source where you're like, I really don't care about their emails, I don't want their emails. Instead of clicking it and deleting it, actually open the email, click on subscribe, then pretty soon you'll just be getting way fewer emails. Next up is our phone. Our phone has so much on it, and I have such a love-hate relationship with my phone. And I think, yeah, this deserves a good spot in the podcast to be talking about all of the ways that we can clean it up, declutter it for spring. So with your phone, the first thing that I thought about cleaning up are photos. I have a good number of photos on my phone, probably like probably under 2,000. I'm not sure. I didn't check, but I definitely want to clean them up, delete any ones that I don't need, and then offload them onto an external hard drive. So that way I have all of my important photos forever. They're not going anywhere. Plus, if you have an iPhone, they are attached to the cloud, so they're not going anywhere either, which is nice. But yeah, maybe you're kind of running out of storage too, because you have so many photos. It's like, okay, gotta delete them, gotta rein it in. You could always pay for more storage, like iCloud storage, but I don't know. That just seems like to what end? You know what I mean? It's just gonna keep getting crazier and crazier. But there are some people who have literally 10,000 photos on their phone and they don't care. And that's okay. If that works for you, then just keep doing it. I also think that we could clean up our contacts because we probably don't do this very often. So open up your contacts and delete anyone who you haven't talked to in a couple years and who you think you're never going to talk to again. You could also clean up your notes app. I love the notes app. I love to just drop random things in there, little reminders that I need. But then later I'll look back and I'll see like a random time that I wrote down from maybe an episode in a TV show that I need to resume, or groceries that I need to buy that I did buy, things like that that I do not need to keep. You could just delete those and clean those up. Next one is Shazam, the Shazam app. If you don't know what that is, I'm very surprised. But if you don't, it's an app where you can tell what song is playing. It records a little bit and then tells you the name of the song so that way you can purchase it later. A lot of people probably Shazam songs and then buy them right away. I think that's awesome. I do not. I shazam songs and then I will buy them once I remember. So once I get to like 50 to 100 saved songs, then I will just literally go buy 50 to 100 songs at one time. And part of it is because I just don't prioritize it, I forget about it. But the other reason is because I I noticed that sometimes I will think a song is really good in the moment. And it's probably the context, like I'm having a good time with a friend, or I'm just really enjoying the vibes of a coffee shop. But then later, once some time has passed and I re-listen to the song, I'm like, oh, this is trash. Why did I save this? Like, this is I don't know who saved this. It wasn't me. That's the reason for that. So I'm going to buy all the songs and then I'm going to delete all of those saved shazams. You can also clean up the apps on your phone because we probably also don't do this enough either. So look at all of the apps on your phone and just delete the ones that you never use, that you don't need, maybe the ones that you don't want to be using, like Chick-fil-A, McDonald's, those kinds of things where you're like, I'm not that person. I don't want to be that girl who saves money on McDonald's by getting the free large fries with a Coke or whatever it is. So clean those up. And then you can also clean up your text messages. I let my text messages get real fat before I delete them. And I think it's because I don't know, I feel like I'm gonna have to go back to that conversation later. So I don't want to delete it because what if I need to know something from then? So I guess my rule with this would be you could delete conversations that are three months old where you're probably not coming back to that conversation. But if that freaks you out too much, you don't have to do it at all. There are other people who delete text messages every day, like they always keep a clean inbox of text messages, and I find that insane to me. I just I can't do that. The last one I have for your phone is to clean up saved posts on Instagram. I don't know if you guys save posts on Instagram, but I do. I have a ton of different little folders on Instagram for things like recipes that I see that I save, or maybe content ideas that I want to try out, photo inspiration, whatever it is. If you also are that person, you could go through, see if these posts still resonate with you, and then unsave them if they don't. Okay, so that is everything for your computer and for your phone, but a couple more things that pertain to technology are your subscriptions. Spring is a great time to take stock of all of the subscriptions that you have. And maybe you don't even know all of the subscriptions that you have. Maybe it's kind of gotten out of hand and you're like, I don't know. I probably don't have that many, but I'm not really sure. I actually just signed up for Rocket Money, the app, and I did the free version and it told me all of the subscriptions that I have. I was pleasantly surprised that I actually use all of the subscriptions, then I don't want to cancel any of them. But I would really recommend signing up for it, just using the free version to see all of the subscriptions that you have. And then who knows, maybe you really like the app and you want to pay for the paid version, but it's really good for that at least. With subscriptions, I was thinking about streaming subscriptions and how most of us have saved watch lists of things that we want to watch, whether it's on Netflix, Peacock, whatever. A lot of the time we have saved things in there that have been saved there for years. And then whenever we are trying to find something that we want to watch, it just never sounds good. You know what I mean? So go through your to watch list in whatever streaming service you have and either watch the things that you have saved or delete them from your list. That is everything for technology. One important reminder, which I already touched on, but make sure to save everything that's important to you on an external hard drive. I have to stress this so much as a photographer because you wouldn't believe the number of clients who come to me years later, even, and they're like, Oh, I don't have my wedding photos. Do you still have them? Can you send them to me? And I'm like, girl, it was in our contract. And like, why don't you have them? Like, this is important, you should save these. Or if it's a business too, who's like, hey, I didn't save my photos. Do you still have them? And yes, I still have them, of course. But if this is something personal for you, whether it's like favorite photos or just important documents, I don't know, papers from college you wrote that you don't want to lose, just put them on an external hard drive so that you don't lose them. Or you could even upload it all to an online platform like Google Drive. The next category that I want to chat about is your mind. I feel like we have so much mental clutter. And part of spring cleaning to me is also cleaning out your mind so that way you feel calmer, more relaxed, more centered, and more excited about this new season. I am a huge fan of brain dumps. I love to brain dump all of the time. So it's not just a spring thing, but I think it's a great way to start out spring with your spring cleaning to do a big brain dump of everything that is on your mind. I personally like to do a brain dump on paper. There's just something about putting pen to paper that feels so good, like I'm just releasing all of these crazy things in my mind, and then I can physically see them right in front of me. So do that and nothing is too big, nothing is too small, just put it all out on the paper. And you don't even have to do anything with this brain dump, but just having it is probably going to make you feel better. But I would encourage you to have some type of system for your mental musings so that way you don't have to store everything in your head. I personally use Notion. I love it so much. I use it every single day, and I use it for all sorts of things. I used it to write these notes for this podcast episode. I use it for my photography business, for coaching, for life. I use it for things like creating itineraries of places I want to go to, recipes that I love or that I want to try, book notes, like I always write down notes from books that I'm reading or listening to, home projects I want to do because you can add photos to it too. So the options are endless, but this is a great way to have a hub where you can store everything that's rolling around in your mind in an actual place where you can come back to it later. And there are different options you can use. I used to use Evernote, that was good, but I do like Notion a lot more. I know some people use Asana or Trello, whatever it is, just find something that works for you so that you have a more calm mind. Another thing you can do for your mental clutter is try to streamline your wardrobe so that you don't waste time thinking about what to wear. So if you already decluttered and cleaned out your closet, this will be a lot easier to do, but you could create kind of a capsule wardrobe where you just have staple pieces that you can pair with different accessories, and then it takes the thinking and brainstorming out of what to wear. So you can look at the pieces in your closet, and then maybe you find one that you like. Like let's say that you have some black skinny jeans. You love these black skinny jeans, they are a staple piece, but you haven't no idea what to pair them with. Something you could do is you could just type into Pinterest black skinny jean outfit, and then it will come up with lots of different options, and then you can see, okay, this option looks like something that I already have in my closet, so I'm gonna pair this top with my black skinny jeans. I'm personally not going to do this this spring, but eventually I would love to streamline my wardrobe. For your mental spring cleaning, you could also do a digital detox. I know that that's technology related, but I feel like it's more mental related because constantly consuming all of these things online, I just don't think is good for our brains. Like we were not meant to live online. So I think spring could be a great opportunity to do a digital detox, even if it's just for a weekend where you stay offline, unplug, that would be great for your reset. Kind of along with this, to spring clean your mind, I would say don't watch or read the news so much. And honestly, I probably think that most of the people listening to this podcast already don't. So maybe I'm wasting my breath here. But if you do and you don't know why you feel like shit and you're reading or watching the news every single day, multiple times a day, I can tell you that that's probably a big part of it. And we could get that could be its own podcast episode. We could get real deep into that, but we won't. So maybe just watch or read the news once or twice a week. That way you're informed, but you're not indoctrinated. The last spring cleaning tip I have for your mind is to go on walks or do things like cleaning your home, putting laundry away, things like that without your phone or without any technology. So no podcast, no music, no audiobook, literally just you, the activity, and your thoughts. This is going to help calm your mind, clear it out, not have it inundated with other people's thoughts and beliefs, and probably make you more open and susceptible to creative thoughts and ideas of your own. I listened to this other girl's podcast and she calls it her non-stimulation walks, I believe, when she goes on a walk with just herself and not any technology. And I'm going to call it my raw dog walk because I feel like when I don't have my phone on me, I'm just out there raw dogging it. Okay, so those are all the tips I have for spring cleaning your mind. I just have one category left, and I don't have too much to say on this, but spring cleaning your relationships. Every year I like to reassess my relationships, my friendships, people in my life, but I think spring is also a great time to do this. You don't have to wait until the start of the new year. Maybe write down a list of everyone who you actually see who's in your life, and then also people online. Or you can just do this in your mind. That's totally okay too. I'm not writing a physical list because I think I can pretty much name everyone in my mind. But basically think of those people and then think about how they make you feel. Do they light you up? Do they make you feel good about yourself? Are they supportive? Do they actually ask how you're doing? Do they check in on you? Or are you always the one checking in on them? Have they been a good friend? Have they been a good family member, a good coworker? And then reassess. It doesn't mean that you have to cut them out of your life, but it could just mean that you are not going to invest as much time or energy into this person anymore. And that is totally okay. At the same time, assess how good of a friend you have been to these people as well, because it's definitely just not about judging people or seeing what they can do for us. We also need to be reflective of how good of a friend we have been and how we can step it up and how we can be better too. And then I think this definitely applies to social media as well. I love going through the people that I'm following on Instagram every so often and seeing if I still want to follow them or not. There are always going to be some people where you're like, okay, I have to keep following them. I mean, you don't have to follow anyone, but if you want to keep the peace and not make things awkward, sometimes you just need to keep following people, even if you don't give a shit about what they post, or maybe you're even triggered by what they post. If that's the case, you can keep following them, but just mute them. Just mute them so that you don't see their stuff, you're not triggered by them, you're not annoyed by them. That's totally an option. And then also make sure to unfollow any pages that make you feel weird or shitty or not good about yourself because they're just pages. Like, I mean, specifically with influencers, they you don't know them, you don't owe them anything. You don't have to keep following them just because you've been following them. And then the last thing I will say when it comes to relationships is to look at your calendar and see if everything still aligns for you. Look at the next couple months for the spring and take stock of all of the obligations that you've signed up for, the appointments, the social gatherings. Does all of it still feel good for you? Does it feel manageable? Do you think you can do this? Do you want to do this? And if the answer is no, I honestly think it's okay to cancel some plans. Of course, it never feels good to be canceled on, but if you look at your calendar now, the earlier the better. If you're like, okay, three weeks from now, I see that I have something every single day, and that's just too much for me. I'm going to take some of this off of my calendar. Just let the person know very soon, and hopefully it'll be fine. I feel like most people are pretty understanding. And to be honest, a lot of the time when someone cancels plans on me, I'm actually relieved. And it's nothing against them, usually. It's just because I also overcommit to things and sign up for too many things. So then when someone's like, oh, actually I can't do it, I'm like, oh, thank God I have some free time in my calendar that I was not expecting. Alrighty, guys. Well, that sums up everything that I wanted to share about how to spring clean your entire life. I hope that you got something out of this. I hope that you're able to apply some of these tips to your spring so that way you have a calmer, more energized, cleanly spring. And I hope that you're liking these episodes that are spring related. I love a good spring episode. I love anything that's themed, you know, as I was mentioning at the start of this podcast episode. So I hope you do too. And I will chat with you all next week. Bye.
