Event Series The Clutter Fairy Weekly (webcast series)

Love Me, Love My Clutter: Organizing Styles and Relationships

Online

We love the people in our lives—and we also love our stuff. But sometimes our feelings about and behavior with regard to our clutter can create distance, conflict, or tension with people we care about. In episode #201 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, examines the ways in which our attachment to stuff complicates our relationships and offers strategies for defusing conflict and holding space for love.

We prepared a survey to learn more about our audience’s experiences related to clutter and relationships—and Valentine’s Day! To answer the survey, please see Survey #201: Love in the Time of Clutter.

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.

Significant Others: Organizing with (or in Spite of) Other People

Online

Do the people with whom you share your space complicate your decluttering process? Spouses, partners, housemates, little children, big children, adult children, and elderly parents with conflicting—or non-existent—household habits and routines can sabotage our efforts to get organized. And sometimes even those who live alone aren’t free from outside meddling in our spaces. In episode #143 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, discusses how to work with—or around—the other people who contribute to clutter to our homes.

Somebody Else’s Problem: Clutter in Relationships (Meetup)

A Healing Collective 4231 Bellaire Boulevard, Suite T, Houston, TX, United States

In many marriages, roommate situations, or other living arrangements, we find ourselves with a partner who is significantly more or less organized than we are. At best, this kind of imbalance creates tension; at worst, it leads to arguments, hurt feelings, and a heightened sense of overwhelm.

For the February meeting of the Houston Clutter Coaching Meetup Group, we’ll talk about how to navigate the troubled waters of clutter-unbalanced relationships. We’ll suggest strategies for communicating perceptions, needs, standards, and priorities, whether you’re the more- or less-organized partner. We’ll offer tips for negotiating agreements in pursuit of results that you can both live with.
