Intro  0:07  
Welcome to today's episode of The declutter of podcast, your channel for super easy, no nonsense advice on how to declutter and organise your home. Please welcome your hosts professional organisers, Ingrid Jansen and Lesley Spellman.

Ingrid  0:32  
Hello, and welcome listeners to Episode 108 of the declutter hub Podcast. I'm Ingrid. In today's episode, I'm talking to Amy Payne. A certified professional organiser from Newburgh, Indiana in the USA, about overcoming information overwhelmed that's a bit of a mouthful, isn't it? Amy launched her company lasting order in 2011, with the goal of helping people live their one and only lives with purpose and intention. And our organising firm helps people clear the clutter at home and at work. Amy is most passionate about utilising technology to help business professionals maximise their time and resources at work. Welcome, Amy.

Amy  1:18  
Thanks for having me.

Ingrid  1:20  
You are so welcome. Now, to full disclosure listeners. Amy and I have known each other we believe it's for years. I mean, we both went to the naipo Conference in Atlanta in Georgia. But then we kind of really became I don't, we can't remember if we, we know we met but we can't really remember. But we truly met at a conference in Pittsburgh where she actually was a speaker at the conference. And then of three years ago, we met again in Montreal in Canada. And it's like, we've been friends like each other on Facebook, don't we?

Amy  1:58  
Yes, it's great. I love social media for out of town and out of country friends.

Ingrid  2:04  
Definitely, definitely. Now, you in your bio, you said you love helping business professionals maximise their time and resources at work. But I'm sure you can give us loads of tips for us at home. And everybody at work is now working from home anyway. So I'm going to really enjoy talking to you about what you can teach us about overcoming that information overwhelm, because let's be realistic. I think we all have information overwhelmed, don't we? And I think we do for sure. And we are specifically going to talk about using your smartphone to maximise your time instead of allowing it to distract you. I mean, so lots to go through. And listeners when I was preparing this podcast, I was like, hmm, there is so much in this topic. I think I need to record three podcasts with Avi. So I'm already now thinking, if we run out of time, we might have to come back at some point in the future and do another podcast maybe with a different angle. So Amy, let's dive in because the time always goes so quickly on this podcast. So let's dive in. So what's your fascination with technology? And how come you find that information overwhelm so interesting?

Amy  3:20  
I am definitely a self professed tech geek of All Things technology. I think, for me personally, my obsession with technology has come from needing it from needing to maximise my own technology and needing to figure out how can I best utilise a smartphone and my computer to get more not only more work done, but to focus less on work and more on the things that are important to me. So I'm super passionate about helping others focus on things that are important to them. And if that means getting rid of more technology or utilising it better, however, whatever they need from it. I love helping people it's it comes naturally to me. I'm familiar with a lot of different kinds of technology. So little, you know, tidbits and tips can really make a huge difference when you're talking about technology.

Ingrid  4:19  
I am already in all listeners because as you know I am an absolute nightmare with technology. And I still use a paper calendar and a paper diary and I know Amy's probably gonna look at me that guy I know joined the queue with my husband and with Lesley they're both are like eighth grade. Please. Can you just so any tips today I will gratefully receive and take on board because I think I need it I need good. So then kick us off. Amy So how what what kind of solid pieces of information can you share with us to tackle this overwhelming move? information?

Amy  5:01  
Well, one of the things that I see people are overwhelmed because we have information coming in from so many different avenues, right? Even with business owners with, you know, regular, you know, people at home, you've got information coming in through social media channels through email through your mailbox, physical paper, kids are bringing papers home from school, you have all this information going on all these for organisations that you're involved with, or committees, things like that, and how do you keep track of all of that different information? So the key is to have a system in place of what are you going to do with the information when you get it. And you can utilise a combination of paper systems and technology for that. So for example, if you have an item with a specific date and time, so say What do your kids brings home their soccer schedule, you need to have one calendar that you're storing that on, whether that's paper calendar for you in grid, or whether that's a digital calendar for me having one place that you're going to keep that information, and then tasks, where do you you know, keep track of your action items, we use a little paper file system on people's desks or countertops to track action items, when they bring papers home, you can also use task management systems like to do list or Google Tasks, Evernote, you know, things like that. And then thoughts, ideas, reference information, a lot of people chicken, scratch that on the back of a receipt, a post it note, you know, a tablet of paper, but there's great digital technology that you can capture all of that information, and then it becomes searchable. So when you get a little bit of information, say in an email, and you want to hold on to that little bit of information, a lot of people will keep that email in their inbox, not a great place to keep that information, right. So we want to have a system, preferably digitally that you can store that tidbit of information so that later you can search for it. When you're ready for it, you can find it and utilise it. So I love to use Evernote for that purpose, storing all the little thoughts, ideas, bits of information in one one digital system. There are obviously other technology that are similar to Evernote. Like one note, notable, you know, there's all kinds of different note taking systems. But the key is to pick one and use it regularly so that you have a place to put that.

Ingrid  7:39  
I think you're right. I think that's where, what we see. And I think you see that as well with your clients, we tried to do too many different systems. And then it all gets too messy isn't it? It's like trying to store if you have physical items, have them in so many different places in your house that you don't know anymore where they are because they're in too many different places and you can't look for them. Right? You're saying it's the same thing with information digitally, you need to use one system where you capture it. All

Amy  8:09  
right, and try not to be a digital hoarder in a sense, or a digital information addict. I have clients we you know, stacks and stacks of magazines or newspapers. Same thing with digital information, you don't want to just keep everything for the sake of keeping it. If it's something you can find, again, on the internet, you don't need to store the information yourself. You just need to search the internet for the information later. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people print their emails. It's a similar concept when you're just dropping a bunch of stuff into your note app. And then you end up just storing all of these articles and information that you could look up later if you needed to. So reduce the amount that you're keeping so that you can find the stuff that you're looking for.

Ingrid  8:56  
And why do you like Evernote so much? Is there a specific reason why you've chosen that over another option?

Amy  9:03  
Yeah, I personally love Evernote. It has a lot of different functions that I personally liked, like scanning business cards, the searchability of it. When you pay for the premium level, you can actually search inside of documents that you've stored in there. So inside of PDFs, Word documents, Excel sheets, you can search inside of those inside of Evernote, specifically Evernote, I love because it goes across all of your devices. I use a lot of different kinds of devices because I work with people on their technology. So I have an iMac desktop computer and then I use a PC laptop, an iPhone, iPad, you know different kinds of devices and Evernote goes across all of those devices and syncs seamlessly. In addition, you can scan documents with your phone straight into Evernote. And so I love that feature where if you Have a piece of paper, even if it's just handwritten notes, you can snap a picture of it and store it in Evernote and it becomes searchable as well.

Ingrid  10:09  
Okay, so does that then connect because I think I tried to get the I think I kind of delved into the Evernote world for a little while try to but me the I'm not a tech geek at all. That was like, Oh, I just because then it came for me but too much, but I know how passionate you are about it. So that's it, then connect with your calendar as well, that should work.

Amy  10:35  
So one of the things that one of the mistakes people try to make with Evernote is they try to make it into way more than what it actually is, right. So I am not so much a believer in finding all in one technology where you can do everything with that piece of technology, as much as I am finding the best of each thing that you need. So for example, Google Calendar is one of the best calendar systems out there. And you can sync your Google Calendar to your Apple System. And still your it's Google that's powering it. So I prefer to use Google and sync it to my Apple devices instead. Similar with Evernote, it's a note taking app. So it's not designed to be an Excel spreadsheet, you can do a table, but it doesn't do calculations right. You can track your tasks in there. But it's not a full feature task management system. It's not it's only designed for certain things. It is not a calendar system. It's not you know, there's a lot of things that Evernote is not. But what it does wonderfully is it captures all of these ideas, information reference information that you need to hold on to in one digital place. I'm not completely anti paper. As you may think it's not about being 100% paper free in your life, it's about less paper. If you have a stack of just random notes and thoughts. Why not put it in a digital format, you can have it in your pocket. A lot of business professionals have stacks and stacks and stacks of business cards. I have 1600 business cards in my pocket of all different people that I've met networking, and I can easily share that information with someone else as well. With Evernote, you can text a link, you can share a public link, you can send a copy of it to someone in the email, you can share a notebook with someone where you're collaborating back and forth with each other. So there's a lot of different ways you can share information and collaborate with someone together inside of Evernote too. As you can see, I'm a big fan, I can talk for hours.

Ingrid  12:53  
I think I think what we might need to do is put a link to Evernote to the show notes. He can feel like oh, I want to I'm driving around in my car but listening to it. So I think what we need to do, I'll make a note, I make a note on my paper copy and put Evernote link in show notes. So I don't forget, I mean, I will re listen to this podcast to make sure but I just want to make a note for myself. Okay, so that's really interesting. So if you work with people to overcoming information overwhelm, is it always that you move them to Evernote? Or is that not the intention? Well, so if people hire you to deal with kind of all the information we have, where do you look at and where do you start?

Amy  13:37  
Right? So one of the things that I love doing is helping a client research to figure out what's best for them. I do as much as I love Evernote. If I have a client who's already paying for something like Microsoft 365 and OneNote comes with it for free. Why would you then pay for Evernote, one OneNote and Evernote have become more equal level to me. It used to be that Evernote had way better features. At this point, I would consider them to be more equal. And so why would you pay for an additional one if you already have one? So for me, it's about finding the best technology for that client. And how does your brain work? How do you function? What makes sense to you? What are you likely to use most? And that's that's really for me, part of the fun of being the productivity consultant who focuses on technology is exploring new options and then finding the best one for that person. So it's not about pushing one tech solution over another one. It's about figuring out what's going to work best.

Ingrid  14:49  
Is it always just random pieces of paper or is it also do you help professionals enemy? I mean, I think everybody listening is thinking to sell I'm not at work professional, or I'm just at home. But there are lots of random pieces of paper in my house. So where do you start by snapping pictures of scanning them? Or do you need to link up your computer? Do you? How does that because I think a lot of people do write notes on different sticky notes and back of receipts that sounded very familiar. I've seen this before. So if you work with somebody, either at work or at home, how do you start?

Amy  15:33  
What I do when I sit down with a client, and we're looking what appears to be random bits of information, that's kind of the way it feels, it's just clutter. It's just random bits of information. But the truth is, each of those bits of information kind of has a different purpose, right? It's either an item that you need to do, it's an event that's coming up, or maybe supplemental information for that event, maybe you got invited to a wedding, and you need to hold on to the invitation, so that you remember to purchase a gift. Yeah, or you remember to buy an outfit for it, right? So there's all these little bits and pieces of information. But then some of it too, is just reference information, like my frequent flyer number for this specific airline, or, you know, I jotted down a to do list on a little post it note. So there's different purpose for the information. So we start to sort through what is the purpose of this information, and then make sure we have a system for each kind of information, whether that's a calendar, a to do list, or something like Evernote, where we're storing that reference information, and then do you need to hold on to that piece of paper or not? I think there definitely are times where that piece of paper comes in handy. For example, a wedding invitation, maybe you want to put that on the refrigerator so that it's in front of you and you're remembering to do the things to get ready for it. Were scanning, it may not quite have the same effect. Some people are out of sight out of mind. So if they scan everything in, then they're not going to remember what it is that they need to be doing. So even the information that we're scanning in, if it's an actionable item, we need to capture that in an action system, a to do task list type of system, and then you could file the information away to hold on to it for later, as well. So I really help people sort through what's the purpose of the information that you have. And then we capture it in some sort of system. I do love obviously scanning going paperless. I'm putting things into Evernote so that you can find them later as well. So even think about like you go Christmas shopping. Well, what did I buy that person last year? What What am I going to get them this year? What ideas do I have for future birthday ideas? Or you're in a store shopping and you snap a picture of something? Oh, that's a good gift idea. Where do you put that information? That's what I love to use Evernote for. And so it's within Evernote, you can create different notebooks where you're storing, organising that information inside of it. I think some people get Evernote and they're overwhelmed. They're like, Oh my gosh, it's just an empty box. Right? You can buy a container. And if you just throw everything inside the container, it's still not organised. So there is a system of organising inside of your system that you've created. And that's where I really come in where I'm helping you sort out what to do with each of these bits of information, and then how to organise that information inside of your system. So that you can keep it organised in and deal with it from there.

Ingrid  18:53  
Okay, fabulous. So I'm thinking right, okay, so you work with somebody and you find a invite for a party, you're like, Okay, what would you like to happen with these invites, so you snap a picture, so you can store it, you put immediately the date of the of the party in the normal calendar, whatever calendar that is. And then you schedule tasks in your to do list by a gift and you add that to a day to it. You do I need to maybe possibly look at my outfit what I'm going to wear and if I can't find anything, I still have four weeks. So you kind of have a mind map and then you do you do the follow up of it's not just the party invite. It's all the other bits around it. That's the Organising How am I going to travel there? Do I need to book a hotel? Who else is going can we share a cab? All of the tasks that come from that piece of paper that normally the lies on a desk or stuck on a fridge? You start to log so you actually become far more organised with what needs to happen. to

Amy  20:00  
write, you're planning ahead instead of three days before the wedding, you flip through a stack of papers and go, Oh, my goodness. Now what? I haven't done any of that prep work ahead of time, or it's too late. I've already missed the RSVP because I lost this invitation in this mountain of paper that I haven't dealt with.

Ingrid  20:22  
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so what you're basically saying, instead of trying to hold on to all of the information in your heads, and by having a visual reminder on a fridge, you actually need to make sure that you capture that information in a strategic way. So you make it far easier for yourself and you start to indeed, exactly what changed, you start to plan ahead, instead of always being late to the party, basically. Yes, exactly.

Amy  20:47  
I mean, that's one of the keys of being organised, especially with technology and information is being proactive, instead of reactive. When you live your life in that reactive state. It's stressful, it's chaotic, you're always late, you're always running around from one thing to another, and nothing is getting done well. When you're in a proactive state, you've captured the information you need, you're only dealing with the information that you need at the moment. And that's where having that what I call reference information stored, you aren't having to look at it or deal with it until you need it. When you need it, you search for it. It's there, it's captured. But every time you look in your email inbox, you're not seeing the same reference information that's irrelevant to the moment. So it really helps you focus on what's important right now, instead of just being overwhelmed with all the things that you're looking at, at the same time.

Ingrid  21:48  
I'm like facepalming, here to myself, because I'm like, I'm doing this. I'm like, because I use my inbox as because I've got three different inboxes. Of course, on private inbox, I've got my declutter up in most, I've got my organiser house in books, and I'm keeping stuff in my inbox that I know something. So I booked tickets for a musical, God willing, it's going to go ahead at some point. And I thought, I need to keep this email. Because it says there I need to pick up the tickets at the bookstore was but that wasn't until January. Yes. So now the question is, what am I going to do with that information? Am I gonna leave it in my inbox? I've written it on my calendar, obviously. But I think now I'm going to have to decide where I'm going to capture that information. So I don't lose. Okay, I'm, I'm listening to you, Amy, I'm listening to

Amy  22:39  
you. And what you just said is key, you said you have to decide what you're going to do with it. So Barbara Hemphill famous, organiser said, clutter is postpone decisions. So when you don't know what to do with something, you leave it in your inbox, or you leave that piece of paper laying on your desk or your counter. And then what happens, I say I joke, your clutter paper goes and makes more clutter babies. And all of a sudden, the pile is three times higher than the last time you saw it. And now you have overwhelmed, you don't know what to do. And so you just ignore it, because it's just too much work to deal with it. So the key is to learn how to make decisions quickly about what is this piece of information, and where does it belong, and put it in its system where it belongs, just like physical belongings in your home. If you have 10 items sitting on the kitchen counter, it's going to collect more items where if you can make a decision about where that item needs to go, and you put it away, you're less likely to leave more items on the counter. So it's the same thing but in a digital format, making decisions quickly about where do things go, putting them away, and dealing with it right away instead of delaying those decisions and creating clutter

Ingrid  24:02  
your show right? And it's it's we weren't we were never used to dealing with I mean, when we when I was young. I mean I'm not that old. But I'm still not young young. We didn't have all this technology, you know, we just life was much simpler and we are all suffering with far more information coming in. I think our lives are all incredibly much busier because we want to do so much stuff and be present and attend and be sporty and we have to learn over time how to deal with all the information that's coming in.

Amy  24:38  
And the the big things is to cut it off at the source. Okay, get rid of unsubscribe from your email lists. minimise the amount of time that you're spending on social media minimise the amount of mail that you're receiving at your house. Get rid of your junk mail right away. You know, your kids don't need to be in 25 different activities. The less activities that are in, the less information you're receiving, the less events that you have to go to, you know, really simplifying your life in all ways. But even with technology, minimising the amount of information you're receiving, do you need to get you know the news every morning, in an email it? Or is it something that when you want to read, you could go find it and read it, you know, seek it out, instead, make it make yourself do a little bit more effort to go get it. So that way, it's not just coming to you every day, whether you want it or not, and then you're having to deal with it, the more that comes to you, the more you have to deal with decluttering, making decisions, and figuring out what to do about it.

Ingrid  25:47  
I think your show, right? I mean, we all you know get tricked into giving our email address all the time. And then before you know it, there's just tonnes and tonnes and tonnes of emails coming in all the time. So I'm now on a mission again, to unsubscribe to even more, because I'm thinking, if I want to buy a dress from my favourite shop, I don't get an email from them every day. If I want to buy a dress, I'm going to go to the website, I'm going to pick something out, I don't need them to tell me, there's a sale on and then there's a discount, and then I've got new stuff coming in. Because it only then makes me want to shop more, which I don't want to do

Amy  26:22  
exactly. And even with things like notifications, I could do an entire podcast just about notifications on your smartphone and on your computer. The notifications and the settings on your devices make a world of difference in how information is coming to you. Simply turning off notifications makes a big difference and allows you to stay focused on the task that you're currently trying to do. How many of you when you get an email or get a phone call you instantly or text message, you instantly pick up your phone or on your computer, it comes across the screen and then you instantly feel the need that you have to respond. You don't I give you permission to not instantly respond every time you get a notification. It distracts you. And then when you're distracted, you're not able to focus on the things that you want to focus on. And that item now took priority over whatever it was that you were working on. And so turning off the notifications, even if it's temporary, for you know, while you're in a meeting or while you're trying to focus on a particular topic, or permanently so that you're not distracted. I personally can be a little bit obsessed with making the little red circles on my phone go away. Little notifications, drives me crazy to have notification symbols on my phone. And I feel like I have to eliminate them. But what social media does is the more you eliminate those notifications, the more they'll send you. And so it's this evil cycle, where you just get roped in, and it's distracting. And it really takes the focus off of the things that you really care about. And you just get sucked into this world of replying and looking at all the different things like you've said, if you want to buy a dress, you're going to buy a dress, you don't need a notification to tell you, Hey, you should buy a dress. So turn those notifications off and make them work for you get notified about the things that you really care about. Turn off the notifications for the things that you don't

Ingrid  28:27  
i You listening listeners, because I am because I think this is very wise information. So you said something about minimising the amount of time you spend on social media. So how do we reduce that? Besides turning off those notifications? What can you get? Can you help you got a golden nugget for our listeners? Yes. To do that.

Amy  28:50  
I know at least on Facebook, and I believe well, it depends on what kind of phone you have. I'm speaking primarily about an iPhone just because that's what I use. But I know through Facebook itself, you can set a time limit. You can tell Facebook that you don't want to spend any more than 30 minutes a day on Facebook. When you get to the end of the time it pops up a little reminder, hey, you're reaching the end of your time, are you sure you want to still be on Facebook? And then on your iPhone, you can actually set an amount of time that you want to be on social media in general. And then what happens is when your time is up, it turns it off. And you have to say yes, I want to allow it for one more minute 15 more minutes or the rest of the day. And so it's a wonderful and then what it does is it makes your apps dark. And it puts like a little time thing on there. So it shows you you've reached your time limit for the day on those particular apps and you can customise which apps you want. And that really has helped me personally, I have friends all around the country all around the world. We've lived a lot of different places. And so, for me, social media is my way of connecting with people that I love people that I know. And I'm a very social person. And so it's fun for me. But I can easily get sucked in to where that just consumes too much of my time. And so one other tip is I took the social media apps that are the most tempting to me, and I put them on the last page of my phone. So when you scroll, you know, you're swiping through your apps, I have to make the most effort to get to that particular app. And that discourages me from just seeing the notifications on my home screen for that particular app. So I put it far away, make it difficult to get to turn off the notifications and then set a time

Ingrid  30:48  
limit. And have you saved lots of time.

Amy  30:51  
Oh, my goodness, yes. The other thing that your that iPhones do is they'll tell you, they'll give you a screen time report of how much time you spent with your screen turned on in the course of a week. And so from week to week, it'll tell you your screen time was up 20% or down 10%. And so I like to play a little game. And I get all excited when my screen time is down for the week. So for me, I'm a competitive person, too. I like to make it a competition with myself of you know, can I spend less time this week than I did last week? So

Ingrid  31:30  
yeah, I think we are all you know, I think it's so easy to scroll away hours on Facebook, reading what people are doing. But the thing is, if you're constantly on Facebook, looking at other people's lives, you don't get anything done to your own house. And that's when the clutter builds up. And that's when there's people saying Oh, but I'm so busy. And I can't do that. Let's start with turning off your phone. And let's just focus on one thing at a time. Let's focus on this now and see how much more you can get done. And I love social media like you. And I have to be better at it. I'm not saying I'm a saint here, I have to be much better too. Because you know, it's just so easy to get sidetracked. And before you know, it just hours on the sofa, gone, just sitting there and you're like, wow, I haven't done anything. And in the end, I think your life is for living and not for just sitting on the sofa, scrolling past Facebook, seeing what other people are doing.

Amy  32:27  
Right? Yeah, another thing I do is I make sure Facebook becomes like my reward when I get something done that I want it to get done. So I do that item first. And then if I accomplish that particular task, then I allow myself to be on Facebook, or I set like a timer, I do the Pomodoro method. I don't know if you're familiar with that, where it's a 25 minute focused block of time on a specific task. At the end of the 25 minutes, you get a five minute break. And then you do another 25 minutes and then another five minute break. And so I say okay, I'm only going to let myself check social media or even read my email during those five minute breaks. And that really helps me focus. And for me, personally, when I can focus and get something done, accomplish something, it gets rid of the feeling of overwhelm. I have selected what is it that I want to actually get done today. And then when I see those things getting marked off of my list, that feeling of overwhelm starts to go away. And I just feel more in control and more proactive over my life and my schedule, versus just reacting to everything that comes at me.

Ingrid  33:45  
Well, listeners on that bombshell. I thought that was absolutely amazing. Uh, yes, I think we need to do another podcast, I would love to know more about notifications on smartphones and computers. So Amy, if you're up for it, we definitely I would love to do that with you or learn some more from you listeners. Have you learned loads as well. And Amy? First of all, if our listeners would like to know more about you or maybe look at your blogs or look at your website, where can they find you?

Amy  34:13

Me- I enjoyed the podcast and got Evernote… to my surprise my husband uses it all the time. After the live Countdown to Christmas session yesterday we sat and created a Christmas list to share with each other!! I’m learning how to use it 👍🏻😊
