Habits are a powerful force in our daily lives, and the study of habits has revealed surprising relationships between our thinking, our action, and our “context”—our location and circumstances. In episode #65 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, explores interesting findings from the field of habit research and suggests ways to apply these ideas to our clutter challenges.
