The Clutter Fairy Weekly #194

Balancing Functionality and Aesthetics in the Organizing Process

December 21, 2023/0 Comments/in Media appearances, Podcasts, YouTube videos /by Todd Mahloch

Should your home be optimized to function smoothly, to look beautiful, or some combination of the two? Where are you willing to compromise, and what’s non-negotiable? In episode #194 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, discusses the priorities that inform our decluttering and organizing choices and suggests strategies for finding your personal perfect balance.

Weekly Tittle

The Weekly Tittle is an exercise designed to focus your attention on a specific space, aspect, or challenge of decluttering and organizing your home. We assign a new tittle in each webcast/podcast, then check on your progress the following week.

Report Card

This week’s assignment is to reflect on your 2023 successes and areas that could use more attention next year:

  • Make a list of three things you’ve accomplished on your decluttering and organizing journey in 2023 of which you’re particularly proud or pleased.
  • Write down one area where you feel that you didn’t quite “make the grade” on your goals or objectives.
  • Optional: Give yourself a grade on any scale that feels appropriate.
  • Come prepared on January 9 to share your accomplishments and your final grade with the rest of the class!

For the full discussion of this week’s tittle, watch the Weekly Tittle segment on YouTube.
