I’ve begun reading a book about having less.
Decluttering.
Minimizing.
Putting your house in order.
There is science behind this instinct.
Your brain does not ignore what it sees.
Every object is processed.
Every pile is noted.
Every unfinished corner whispers.
More visual noise means more cognitive load.
More decisions.
More low-level stress.
A cluttered room quietly taxes your nervous system.
Order, on the other hand, creates perceived control.
And perceived control calms the system.
Some of you are deeply attached to your possessions.
They feel like memory vaults.
But memories live in neurons.
Not in sweaters.
Not in boxes.
Not in old cables whose purpose is long forgotten.
Objects are cues.
You are the archive.
Having less is not about aesthetic minimalism.
It is about signal over noise.
Clear space.
Clear bandwidth.
For now, perhaps open one drawer.
You don’t need to purge anything you think you might miss.
Just box it up.
Store it away.
And in seven years when you still don’t need it,
you’ll know where to find it.
I will let you know how the book ends.

Greetings, Earthling is a free daily newsletter designed to help you slow down, feel better, and start your mornings with a sense of meaning. Written from the perspective of a curious space observer named NeilA, each transmission blends mindfulness, motivation, and emotional insight with a hint of cosmic wonder.
Inspired by Stoic philosophy, Tao, Alan Watts, behavioural science, and the strange beauty of being human, these messages offer gentle reminders to live with purpose, pay attention, and appreciate the little things. Part alien wisdom, part self-help, part poetic dispatch, it’s a daily pick-me-up disguised as a transmission from the stars.
If you’re looking for a mindful routine, a feel-good newsletter, or thoughtful guidance that fits in your inbox, you’re in the right place. This is for anyone who wants to be more present, more kind, and more connected to yourself, to others, and to the universe around you.
If this helped, pass it along. Or send them here. Signals get stronger when more receivers are tuned in.
Thank you for reading. Your presence means more than you know.
