One obvious way to avoid a clutter problem—or to get control of the one you already have—is to stop accumulating stuff in the first place. By paying attention to our cluttering history and collecting habits, we can shift our behavior to hold back the flood tide of new clutter. In episode #178 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, examines clutter “origin stories” and suggests simple and subtle behavioral changes that can make a big difference in your clutter landscape.
