Reality Checks: What We Learn About Ourselves as We Get Organized
The decluttering and organizing process is a journey of self-discovery. As we peel back the layers of our lives, we learn valuable lessons about who we are in relation to our stuff. In episode #262 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, shares the reality checks and “Aha!” moments our clients and audience members have experienced as they work to declutter and organize.

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.
Crowdsource Learning and Growth
This week’s assignment is to take advantage of the wisdom and learning that our fellow declutterers have to share.
- If you haven’t already taken the survey we published prior to this week’s show, please take the survey now.
- Visit the survey results page to read some of the reality checks and “aha!” moments that other members of the Clutter Fairy community have experienced.
- Identify a survey response that resonates strongly with you—a fresh attitude, a new understanding, or an approach to a clutter or organizing problem that you yourself struggle with.
- Copy and paste the text in a place where you’ll be able to refer back to it easily.
- Schedule time this week to address an area of your home or a category of clutter relevant to the advice you selected.
- Read the saved text before you start work on your decluttering or organizing session and again when you’re ready to stop for the day.
- Reflect on any change in how you felt about the work that you’ve been doing. Did the advice you collected help or hinder your efforts? What new reality checks or “aha!” moments of your own did you experience?
