Welcome back to One Happy Thing! Today, we’re diving into a topic that might make you both laugh and shudder: decluttering—specifically, digital decluttering.

📩 Our own Maddie Dawson bravely shares her recent experience clearing out thousands (yes, many, many thousands!) of unread emails from her inbox. From ancient newsletters to expired coupons and requests for politicaldonations, she takes us through the emotional rollercoaster of hitting “delete”—and the surprising joy that followed.

We talk about:

· Why clutter (even digital clutter!) carries emotional weight

· How unfinished or ignored things quietly drain your energy

· Why we are thinking of founding Email Inbox Anonymous 😂

· And how letting go—even of unread messages—can create space for new inspiration

✨ One Happy Takeaway

Decluttering doesn’t have to be a massive life overhaul. It can start with one folder, one drawer, one inbox. The energy you free up can make room for creativity, calm, and clarity.

🧹 Whether it’s your closet, your to-do list, or your email inbox, today’s challenge is simple: let go of something that’s weighing you down.
