Summary

Ever catch yourself feeling “meh” about the future—like you just can’t see past tomorrow? It might be something called “horizonlessness,” and we’re diving in headfirst! In this episode, I’m sharing insights from a fascinating chat between Mel Robbins and Dr. Aditi Nehrukar that will have you going, “Aha… so that’s why!” Discover how the pandemic rewired our brains to focus on immediate survival instead of tomorrow’s dreams, and why it’s completely normal to feel stuck. But don’t worry—we’re not staying stuck. We’ll talk about tiny, doable steps to get your zest back, from embracing small daily victories (hello, clean kitchen sink!) to sneakily scheduling in those guilt-free moments of “me time.” If you’ve been searching for a spark to reignite your excitement about what’s on the horizon, this episode is your matchstick. So press play, grab a trash bag (or a notepad), and let’s reclaim that forward-thinking fire together!

0:00.0	Let's talk about horizonlessness. Hey, this is a new concept that I just heard about in its crazy pans,
0:06.9	and I can't wait to share it with you. Hey, Clutterbugs, welcome back to the Clutterbug podcast.
0:17.0	If you're new here, I'm Cass. And here on the Clutterberg podcast, we talk a lot about getting our homes
0:23.8	together, getting in control of the clutter and the mess and getting routines established that our house
0:31.2	feels more effortless so that it's not another thing on our to-do list because we have enough to do.
0:39.3	So we feel good and proud about our space.
0:42.5	And so it has a solid foundation so we can build all the other cool stuff in our lives on top,
0:49.2	like better finances and relationships and more happiness and more free time.
0:53.5	It's really hard to do those things
0:55.4	when our house is chaotic. Today, I'm actually not talking about a house. Well, I mean, I'm going to
1:04.2	tie it back in because I can't help it. But we're going to talk about this new concept that I had
1:09.2	never heard of before. And yet it makes so much sense.
1:13.7	But before we jump into that, I'm going to encourage you while you listen to do double duty.
1:20.5	So if you're watching this on YouTube, do something cool.
1:25.1	Listen to it in the background and sort paperwork or do those dishes. Put away some laundry, vacuum, clean, work on a project that you can finish and feel really good or, you know, work out. Do something to make yourself proud. So we're learning, we're getting motivated, we're feeling inspired,
1:45.5	but we're also getting stuff done. All right, friends, this concept of horizonlessness,
1:54.4	I had never heard of before, but I was listening to a podcast while I was driving between
1:58.7	Mel Robbins and Dr. Adidi Nurukar. And I love her.
2:04.7	She is like an expert on stress and she works for Harvard and she runs a bunch of studies.
2:10.6	She's also a psychiatrist that deals with patients. And she has noticed a trend lately.
2:23.1	And a few studies have sort of, you know, also noticed this trend of a lack of forward goal setting vision, looking forward to the future in a greater
