Episode Synopsis


When was the last time you pruned your files, cluttered website pages, or deleted projects that will never get done? This episode is a reflection on digital pruning and the importance of letting go of things that no longer serve us. A few months ago I completely redesigned our agency website https://buildwithmaple.com and in the process trimmed over 40 pages and over 70 blog posts!Read about the redesign process in details on my blog: https://buildwithmaple.com/how-i-redesigned-maple-creative/Fruit trees are a great metaphor. If they aren't pruned, they can fall over, break, and become prone to fungus and disease. Pruning a fruit tree and creating space will invigorate growth! It's the same for our creative process, especially if you're passionate and full of ideas! This episode also mentions some tools like Notion to archive old projects, and working through the emotional challenges that can come with this process.
