The Clutter Fairy Weekly #182

Sharpen Your Tools: How to Organize for Arts, Crafts, and Hobbies

The activities we do to relax, have fun, and express ourselves enrich our lives in countless ways, but they can also bury our living spaces in tools, materials, supplies, reading materials, and unfinished projects. In episode #182 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, examines the stuff that accumulates from hobbies, arts, and crafts and offers strategies for keeping “crafty clutter” from spoiling our fun.

Some content in this episode is based on results of a survey of our audience.

Weekly Tittle

The Weekly Tittle is an exercise designed to focus your attention on a specific space, aspect, or challenge of decluttering and organizing your home. We assign a new tittle in each webcast/podcast, then check on your progress the following week.

Creative Playtime

We’ll be back in two weeks, and the assignment for that interval is to dedicate some time to practicing an activity that you enjoy:

  • Schedule a block of time to work on the hobby, art form, or craft of your choice.
  • Make sure to allocate time to clear a space in which you can work and to gather any tools, supplies, or other materials that you’ll need.
  • Allow time at the end to clean up and put away your supplies and materials.
  • Have some fun, then come back and tell us about it!
