Paper is a plentiful source of clutter—and frustration—for many people. Even though our digital lives offer us more options than ever for “going paperless,” paper clutter still seems to keep stacking up. In episode #204 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, examines habits, behaviors, and attitudes that lead us to keep more paper than we need or can manage and offers pointers for purging your personal paper piles.

We prepared a survey to learn about our audience’s experiences related to this episode’s topic. To answer the survey, please see Survey #204: Do You Look Good on Paper?.

Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda: The Nagging Problem of Incompletions

Online

Many of us accumulate “incompletions”—unfinished DIY, art, or craft projects; coupons or recipes to clip; papers to file; laundry to fold and put away; and so on. Stale tasks and unfinished projects add to our clutter load and can take a costly psychological toll. In episode #132 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, examines the nature of incomplete projects and suggests strategies for moving them off your to-do list and out of your head.

Reconsidering Paper: Six Ideas for Managing Your Paper Project (Meetup)

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

The key cause of the pileup is that paper never stops coming—not a day goes by that we don’t collect more junk mail, bills, receipts, magazines, invitations, advertisements, and so on. For our December 2015 meetup, we’ll examine the habits and beliefs that contribute to paper clutter. We’ll offer ideas to help you stem the tide of incoming paper, clear your backlog, and build a system to keep from ever falling behind again.
