    Tick, Tock: Set Realistic Time Expectations for Organizing Projects

    The Clutter Fairy Weekly (webcast series)
    Online

    For those who’ve made the decision to declutter and get organized, time can be a source of confusion and frustration. There’s the time you want the job to take, the time you expect the job to take, and the time the job really takes—and those figures often have nothing to do with each other! In episode #172 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, explores the complexities of estimating and allocating time for organizing work and suggests ways to set realistic time expectations.

    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.

    Organizing Now for Future Stuff | Decluttering Your Command Center

    The Clutter Fairy Weekly (webcast series)
    Online

    Most of us have a “command center”—a favorite spot where we sit to read, watch TV, and manage our busy lives. We’ll discuss the stuff that tends to collect in these hot zones and offer a simple plan for decluttering your command center.

    Even the most perfectly organized space can’t be maintained if the inflow of new possessions outpaces our efforts to declutter. We’ll talk about how to organize now for future stuff by designing systems that accommodate both present collections and new acquisitions.

    In episode #160 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, discusses these topics and answers questions from our viewers and listeners.

    We prepared a survey to learn more our audience’s experiences related to this episode’s topics. To answer the survey, please see Survey #160: Future Stuff | Command Center | Mutual Support.

    Just as trees drop their leaves to rest and wait for spring, the end of the year is a good time for us to pause and “shed” things from our lives to make room for something new, to reflect on what has served its purpose, what no longer fits, which habits have changed, what we’re ready to sell, donate, recycle, or discard. In episode #144 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, suggests taking a personal inventory focused on clearing space for wonderful new things in your life in 2023.
