The clutter set point is what we call the volume of stuff—in total or in any one category—that feels like the “right” amount to you. When you go beyond this threshold, you may find that systems break down, negative feelings arise, and stuff morphs into clutter. Your set points can change over time,  and you are the ultimate authority on what you choose to keep. In episode #170 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, talks about how we arrive at clutter set points and how we can change them.
