Stories We Tell About Our Stuff: Organizing Myths versus Reality

Online

Many of us approach organizing projects with our heads full of myths, legends, and flat-out lies we’ve accumulated from popular TV shows, mass-market books, nagging parents, and other people’s limiting beliefs. In episode #229 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, uncovers the realities hiding behind popular myths, misconceptions, and limiting beliefs about decluttering and organizing our stuff.

We prepared a survey to learn about our audience’s experiences related to this episode’s topic. To answer the survey, please see Survey #229: Myths, Misconceptions, and Limiting Beliefs.


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.
