Mental health. Let's talk about it. I don't actually want to, but I feel like it needs to be done because I know others are feeling what I'm feeling, and I don't want you to feel like you're alone in this.

I don't have mental health issues because I'm an entrepreneur or because I have big aspirations, but they do exacerbate them. I've struggled with anxiety all my life.

And you know what? I couldn't love it any more than I do. 

So naturally I was curious about how I could apply minimalism to my business. First, I suggest sorting through all your "digital clutter." Digital clutter includes: files, emails, pictures, apps, Facebook groups, social media accounts, etc. This will take some time, but go through them all; delete what you don't absolutely need and organize what you do. Can you tell I'm not one of those people that has 20,459 unread emails in their inbox?

There's also a second part of digital minimalism that I teach in my masterclasses and course, The Digital Ma...
