    Partners in Clutter: Organizing With (or in Spite of) Other People

    The Clutter Fairy Weekly (webcast series)
    Online

    Other people can be valuable companions in our decluttering and organizing journeys, or they can interfere with our best efforts. We have to be careful and mindful about who gets a say in our decision-making. In episode #269 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, discusses people who influence our organizing process and offers strategies for working with—or around—those whose choices impact the clutter in our lives.

    The Clutter Fairy Weekly is a live webcast designed to help you clear your clutter and make space in your home and your life for more of what you love. We meet Tuesdays at noon (U.S. Central Time) to answer your decluttering questions and to share organizing tools and techniques, success stories and “ah-hah!” moments, seasonal suggestions, and timeless tips.

    Do the people with whom you share your space complicate your decluttering process? Spouses, partners, housemates, little children, big children, adult children, and elderly parents with conflicting—or non-existent—household habits and routines can sabotage our efforts to get organized. And sometimes even those who live alone aren’t free from outside meddling in our spaces. In episode #143 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, discusses how to work with—or around—the other people who contribute to clutter to our homes.

    We’re Not Getting Any Younger: Clutter and Aging (Meetup)

    Nature Discovery Center 7112 Newcastle St., Bellaire, TX, United States

    As we age, many of us find our clutter problems becoming more complicated by the urgent needs of elderly parents or loved ones, our desire to share mementos and family history with the next generations, our own physical limitations, and many other factors.

    For the June meeting of the Houston Clutter Coaching Meetup Group, we’ll explore clutter-related issues that arise with aging. We’ll suggest strategies that you and your family can adopt to ease the burden of future clutter.
