Don’t Get Organized

WBEZ brings you fact-based news and information. Sign up for our newsletters to stay up to date on the stories that matter.

Gretchen Rubin and Elizabeth Craft don’t want you to organize all your stuff. They encourage you to get rid of the stuff you don’t need. Donate it! Gift it! Recycle it. But don’t keep it. Even the sentimental stuff. They also answer a listener question about rewards and treats, plus Gretchen’s demerit and Liz’s gold star.

Happier will be LIVE in San Francisco on 1/21/16! Get your tickets and a free copy of Better Than Before before they sell out at Slate.com/Happier.
