Why does paper clutter feel so much heavier than it should? It’s just a few envelopes, right? A school form here, a receipt there… so why does it feel like it’s taking over your kitchen counter, your brain, and your sense of calm?

If you’ve ever opened a drawer and found a pile of forgotten forms…
If you’ve ever panicked because you knew you had that document somewhere…
Or if your paperwork situation feels like a giant, looming cloud of guilt—you are absolutely not alone.

In this episode, I’m digging into why paperwork is so overwhelming (hint: it’s not just about mess) and how you can start to feel in control again—without needing a whole weekend, colour-coded folders, or a trip to the stationery store.

What if the key to calm is just a tray, a box, and a new way of seeing things?
And what if that emotional weight you’ve been carrying around… wasn’t yours to hold onto in the first place?

We’ll talk about:

• Real declutter strategies that work even when you’re short on time and energy
• The truth behind why paperwork keeps piling up
• The KonMari perspective on paper—and why it might just be the most powerful category to tackle
• What’s really going on beneath the surface of all that clutter
• My go-to micro-step to contain the chaos (this alone changes everything)

If you’re craving more intention, more clarity, and a calmer home, this one’s for you.
Let’s talk paper, overwhelm, and what’s actually possible when you finally stop trying to do it all alone.
