In episode #281 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, explores steps we can take to plan ahead for changes and accommodations that injury, illness, or disability can necessitate in our homes.

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.
Safety and Mobility Check
This week’s assignment is to conduct a quick audit of potential safety and mobility hazards in your home.
- Answer the following questions:
- Do you have clear access to all exterior doors and any windows that might also serve as emergency exits?
- Are all floors and stairs clear of potential obstructions, obstacles, and tripping hazards?
- Is your fire extinguisher accessible and in the place where you expected to find it?
- Do you know how to operate your fire extinguisher and where to find the instructions?
- If the answer to any question is “no” (or a qualified “yes”), make a plan this week to address the issues you’ve uncovered.
