Hey Friends,

Your garage isn't just a storage space.
It's where delayed decisions go.

In this first part of the garage series—you're setting yourself up so you actually follow through.

Because most people don't fail at decluttering…
They fail at starting with structure.


This episode walks you through exactly how to prepare your time, your space, and your mindset so when you step into your garage, you don't get overwhelmed, distracted, or stuck.


YOUR ACTION STEPS

Before moving on to Part 2 (Purge), complete the following:

  • Choose 4 specific days to work on your garage

  • Block off 2–3 hours per day based on your energy

  • Consider logistics - when will you not be disturbed or derailed
  • Divide your garage into 4 zones (ex: left wall, right wall, back wall, center)

  • Gather your supplies:

    • Task list (paper + pen)

    • Post-its

    • Sharpie

    • Timer

  • Prepare your energy
  • Set your expectations
  • Hold yourself accountable

Amber Cammidge hosts Declutter Your Chaos-Mindful Minimalism, a podcast that approaches the overwhelming task of clearing out your space with a unique blend of practicality and introspection. This isn't just about where to donate old clothes or how to fold a fitted sheet, though you'll find those tangible tips here. Instead, each conversation digs into the emotional roots of accumulation, exploring how our habits around stuff are often tied to memory, identity, or a sense of scarcity. The aim is to move beyond a one-time cleanup and foster a lasting, mindful minimalism that creates mental and physical room to breathe. You'll hear about resetting daily routines, building systems that actually work for your real life, and redefining what 'enough' truly means. Grounded in categories like self-improvement and mental health, this podcast recognizes that a calmer home directly supports a fitter, healthier, and more educated self. It's for anyone feeling weighed down by their possessions and ready to explore the quieter, more intentional life that exists just beneath the surface of the clutter. Tune in for honest talks that help you transform your environment from a source of chaos into a foundation for the life you're trying to build.
