Your Clutter Is Costing You More Than You Think | Miriam Ortiz y Pino
What if the clutter surrounding you isn’t just taking up space, but also draining your time, attention, money, and ability to grow?
Amy sits down with simplicity expert and longtime professional organizer Miriam Ortiz y Pino to explore the deeper connection between physical clutter, digital overwhelm, financial habits, and the way entrepreneurs run their businesses. Miriam challenges the idea that organization is about buying prettier containers or finding the perfect productivity app. Instead, lasting change comes from understanding what you actually need, building systems around the way you live and work, and aligning your actions with your values.
Their conversation moves from money mindset and financial self-worth to decision fatigue, busy work, digital clutter, sustainable systems, and why doing more is rarely the answer. Miriam also explains why entrepreneurs need to stop waiting for the perfect solution, start paying attention to their numbers, and create businesses that support the lives they actually want.
The shift can start surprisingly small. One drawer. One decision. Ten intentional minutes. Because meaningful change doesn’t require fixing everything at once. It starts by creating enough space to choose what matters next.
Moments That Create Momentum:
The Cost of “For Now” – See how postponing small decisions can become physical clutter, digital overload, and unnecessary mental weight.
The System Comes Before the Container – Understand why another bin, app, or tool cannot solve a problem until you know what the system needs to do.
Money Follows What You Value – Explore how understanding your numbers can bring spending and business decisions closer to the life you actually want.
More Capacity Is Not More Freedom – The secret to actually save you more time utilizing technology.
Small Wins Build Capability – How making one clear decision can close a mental loop and make positive change feel more possible.
