Vinyl; Clutter or Classic? 5 ways to make the most of your records.

Today has been Record Store Day in the UK, with many independent record retailers coming together to celebrate the art of music.

Why Mess Causes Stress – Decluttering Workshop 15th November 2014

Sometimes, the difficulty with getting things organised comes from the fact that you’re not sure where to start, or you feel that you’ll lose track once you’ve got going.  In other cases it could be because you feel that you’re the only person dealing with clutter issues and you feel somewhat alone with that.

Use the colours of the World Cup to get organised!

So the glitz and glamour of the World Cup are over for another 4 years, and whilst the England team will (hopefully) be focussing on what went wrong and how they can make improvements for the next big tournaments, the German team will be reflecting on their outstanding performance and enjoying a beer or two […]

I never have the time to get things done!

I recently talked to 2 business network groups about that little issue of time management.  You know what I’m talking about don’t you?  That point where you have a million and one things to do, but what feels like no time in the world to do it!  I’d be lying if I said I’ve never […]

What can I organise over the Easter break?

A 4-day Easter break ‘from the norm’ beckons for many, so what will you do that will help you clear through your clutter and get organised? Maybe you’ll spend quality time with family and friends?  Make time to get things together at home or in your business?  Either way, it’s a perfect opportunity to reflect on the first few months […]
