The Clutter Fairy Weekly #274
More ABCs of Clutter: Another Alphabet of Organizing Suggestions
Clutter insinuates itself into every part of our lives: our space, our time, our emotions, our relationships. From boxes moldering in the attic to the zester lurking in a kitchen drawer, we must examine our lives to discard the stuff we no longer need, love, or use. In episode #274 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, we set ourselves another alphabet challenge: to identify and discuss an organizing concept, issue, or tip for every letter from A to Z.

The Weekly Tittle is an exercise designed to focus your attention on a specific space, aspect, or challenge of decluttering and organizing your home. We assign a new tittle in each webcast/podcast, then check on your progress the following week.
Examine Your Zipper!
This week’s assignment is to leverage our X, Y, and Z decluttering ideas to make a bit of quick progress in your space.
- X marks the spot. Identify an item that gets shuffled from spot to spot in your home because it doesn’t have a place of its own. Assign a permanent space and take it there.
- Y is for yes. Identify an item that you’ve been hemming and hawing about maybe, possibly, one of these days discarding. If you can’t enthusiastically say “yes” to it, let it go.
- Z is for zester. Identify a single-use item that you rarely put to use. The kitchen is the most likely spot for such things, but you could also check your toolbox, art supplies, game closet, or elsewhere. Give away, throw away, or donate the item.
Try one or all three of these ideas, and then come back and tell us how it went.
