The Clutter Fairy Weekly #63
Bigger Buckets Revisited: Rethink Your Paper-Filing Categories
Paper pileup often outstrips the time, energy, and enthusiasm we can muster for processing. Inboxes overflow, and the dream of an orderly filing system gives way to stacks, bags, and boxes of paper chaos. In episode #63 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, explores ways to rethink paper sorting and storage by defining “bigger buckets.”

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.
Prepare for Outdoor Relaxation and Entertaining
Spring is in full swing for most of the Northern Hemisphere, so this week’s assignment is to step outside and start getting ready for outdoor fun. Many of us rediscovered the joy of patios and decks during the pandemic, and now it’s time to freshen up these getaway spaces:
- Evaluate your patio, balcony, garden, deck, or any outdoor space that’s available to you to determine what attention it needs.
- Clear away leaves or other debris that winter has left behind. Rinse or pressure-wash as appropriate.
- Check outdoor furniture, canopies, umbrellas, grilling equipment, etc., to see whether any items need repair or replacement this year.
- Decide whether there’s anything you’d like to add to your outdoor relaxation space this year.
