An audience member asked, “Is there a ‘Which came first, the chicken or the egg?’ way of thinking about decluttering?” We started pondering the conundrums we face as we work to organize—such as whether more storage ever really solves the problem of too much stuff. In episode #299 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, examines “chicken and egg” dichotomies that challenge people with clutter and offers strategies for escaping these mental traps.
We prepared a survey to learn about our audience’s experiences related to this episode’s topic. To answer the survey, please see Survey #299: Decluttering Conundrums and Ways of Escaping Them.
