Jump-start Your Organizing Plan: 50 Ways to Leave Your Clutter (YouTube Video)

Last month marked the 100th meeting of the Houston Clutter Coaching Meetup Group! In honor of that milestone, we’ve updated the list of 50 action items to kick off your organizing plan that we prepared for our 50th episode. No matter what project you’ve decided to take on, you’ll find useful first steps—or next steps—on our jump-start list.

Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, presents “Jump-start Your Organizing Plan: 50 Ways to Leave Your Clutter.”
