Summary

Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Time for a Clutter Intervention September 4, 2025 | Episode 5174 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Scott calls an intervention on the clutter that's taking over your life. He's seen your basement, your garage with that classic car on bricks, and frankly, your brain is just as cluttered. After 20 years of podcasting and coaching, I've learned something crucial: we're all hoarders, especially when it comes to the stuff rattling around in our heads. Time to clear out what's holding you back so you can make room for what you actually want. Featured Story Scott shares his observations from visiting listeners' homes and meeting coaching clients in person. From Florida garages packed with northern transplants' belongings to classic cars collecting dust on bricks, the physical clutter mirrors what's happening upstairs. But here's the kicker - most people who come to him for business coaching end up needing relationship help first. You can't enjoy that 30K monthly goal if your spouse can't stand you because you're working yourself to death. Important Points Humans are natural hoarders, and we hang onto mental clutter just like we do physical stuff - everything you've ever done becomes part of who you are. You're clinging to what worked well before, but it needs to go so you can create space for what you actually want to do next. Every time you solve one problem, you create another problem - that's just how growth works, so embrace the chaos instead of fighting it. Memorable Quotes "Humans are hoarders and that's you." "If you don't know your purpose, your purpose is to go find your purpose." "Everything you've ever done, everything you've ever owned is part of who you are, and it's going to hang out back there." Scott's Three-Step Approach Ask yourself how you'd feel if you dropped everything holding you back right now - notice that little smile creeping across your face. Give yourself a 30-day cooling off period on whatever popped into your mind during this episode, but lean forward into the possibility instead of going backward. Stop questioning whether you should make the change - if you keep asking "should I," the answer is you already know you want to drop it.
