Have you ever spent hours organizing minutia, only to discover that you hadn’t made any progress toward your most urgent goals? In this episode, we’ll explore the distinction between efficiency and effectiveness, especially as it applies to organizing and productivity.

When you’re wrangling a long-term decluttering project, sooner or later your energy wanes and decision fatigue kicks in. We’ll talk about causes of decluttering burnout and offer strategies to help you move past it.

In episode #163 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, discusses these topics and answers questions from our viewers and listeners.
