    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.
