Hurricane Harvey has taught us harsh lessons about what’s at stake when a natural disaster strikes. Our lives and priorities get turned upside-down overnight, and we find ourselves having to navigate the unknown in a state of panic, loss, and grief.
We talk all the time about how clutter disrupts our lives—our comfort, productivity, enjoyment, and pride in our homes. But there are circumstances in which clutter becomes a serious threat to health and wellbeing.
The urge to offer hospitality is a fundamental human desire. For the July 2017 meeting of the Houston Clutter Coaching Meetup Group, we’ll suggest ways to reconcile conflicting emotions to start entertaining now, even if our spaces are still works in progress.
The creative drive is an essential human need to enrich and beautify our lives and the world around us. But for many of us, clutter erodes the space, free time, and clarity of mind we need for creative pursuits. For our June 2017 meeting of the Houston Clutter Coaching Meetup Group, we’ll break down the obstacles that our clutter throws in the way of creativity, and we’ll share ideas for making more room in your life for creative expression.
The Clutter Fairy talks a lot about the clutter traps we find in certain rooms and spaces.

We’ll look at a few of the root causes of clutter habits that compromise our comfort and peace of mind.
At the April meeting of the Houston Clutter Coaching meetup, we’ll talk about how to reclaim the heart of the house—the kitchen—as a welcoming place to prepare healthy meals for yourself and your family.

Like any other category of stuff, paper can stand in the way of your best life. It's a leading source of visual clutter, and failure to wrangle your paper can also waste time and effort, and even lead to financial and legal headaches.
Disorganized spaces and unproductive habits can waste valuable time and keep us from getting the day off to a strong start. For our January meetup, we’ll look at how to streamline our homes and habits to support productive daily routines and rituals.
Our stuff only becomes clutter when it stands in the way of other things that we want and need, like relationships, comfort, and peace of mind. The December 2016 Houston Clutter Coaching Meetup examines the many ways that clutter keeps us from living the lives we dream of.
