Stories We Tell About Our Stuff: Organizing Myths versus Reality - The Clutter Fairy Weekly #229
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.
