Out with the Old: Setting an Expiration Date on Clutter (Meetup)

Nature Discovery Center 7112 Newcastle St., Bellaire, TX, United States

Clutter can be both a symptom and a cause of our inability to let go of the past and move forward. At the January 2016 meeting of the Houston Clutter Coaching Meetup, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy, will examine how our stuff can anchor us to unproductive habits instead of supporting our ever-evolving lives. We’ll talk about how to “set an expiration date” on clutter to open up space for new possibilities in 2016.

Reconsidering Paper: Six Ideas for Managing Your Paper Project (Meetup)

The key cause of the pileup is that paper never stops coming—not a day goes by that we don’t collect more junk mail, bills, receipts, magazines, invitations, advertisements, and so on. For our December 2015 meetup, we’ll examine the habits and beliefs that contribute to paper clutter. We’ll offer ideas to help you stem the tide of incoming paper, clear your backlog, and build a system to keep from ever falling behind again.
