Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we explore why getting organized often has less to do with stuff—and more to do with the questions we’re asking ourselves. Whether it's searching on Google, using ChatGPT, or trying to help a loved one decide what to keep, progress depends on how we frame the problem.
