When Clutter Creates Conflict: Organizing Shared Spaces Without Struggle
Clutter doesn’t just affect our homes — it can create tension, frustration,
and miscommunication in the relationships we care about most. When we share spaces with partners, family members, or roommates, differences in organizing styles, habits, and expectations can quickly turn everyday clutter into conflict.
In this episode of Got Clutter? Get Organized!, Janet M. Taylor is joined by professional organizer and author Colette Roy to discuss how clutter impacts relationships and how simple organizing systems can
reduce stress and restore harmony in shared spaces. Together they explore the connection between clutter thresholds, communication, collaboration, and creating systems that support how people actually live — not how we think they should live.
If you are waiting for the video version of this conversation, don’t wait — listen now. This episode includes the full conversation and insights from the complete audio interview.

• How clutter differences can create relationship tension
• Why communication matters when organizing shared spaces
• Simple systems that reduce frustration and increase cooperation
