Summary
As always, I'm taking time off during the summer. This year, though, we're trying something new! We're sharing the audio of previous live Q&As that I did on YouTube. If you only listen to the podcast, this will be all new to you! We'll be back with our regular format mid-August.
This episode includes my answers to questions about clutter thresholds, dealing with trash, defining "Under Control,” and much more.
