I'm going to be honest with you, I have a ton of bad habits, like really bad habits,

but I've found some little ways to kind of hack them to make them less bad. And I want to share

those ideas with you right now. Hey, Clutterbugs, welcome back to the Clutterbugs podcast.

I'm always striving to be a better person. I don't know where this comes from, probably because
