A Game You Can Win: Using Gamification in Your Organizing Process (postponed)

Online

This event was postponed until January 16 because co-host Ed Gumnick’s house was without power.

In episode #197 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, explores the pros and cons of gamifying your organizing process and suggests ways to set yourself up to win big.

The Clutter Fairy Weekly is a live webcast designed to help you clear your clutter and make space in your home and your life for more of what you love. We meet Tuesdays at noon (U.S. Central Time) to answer your decluttering questions and to share organizing tools and techniques, success stories and “ah-hah!” moments, seasonal suggestions, and timeless tips.

Get Your Motor Running: Is Decluttering a Journey—or a Destination?
