Happiness doesn’t depend on what we have, but it does depend on how we feel toward what we have. We can be happy with little and miserable with much.

Turn off your social media
How often have you been on social media today? Just to check the latest Insta pictures or some new recipes on Pinterest. Maybe you, like us, were bored in a meeting and checked your personal emails? Social media can be a great distraction.
Unfortunately, it also distracts from life. You may argue that social media is life. Yes, it’s become part of life, however shouldn’t BE life.

I’m currently wearing 8 t-shirts over and over again. Everything else in my wardrobe is just the distant memory of a slimmer me.
How you can prepare for an unplanned job move
Are you ready for a job move without notice
Hands up if you know someone who’s lost their job. A number of our friends, former colleagues and clients have been told “there’s no need to come back!”
Last week, we received a rather upsetting email from a former client. They’ve been given the boot. It came out of nowhere. Perhaps this was the most shocking part, not seeing it coming. But that’s the unfortunate bit. Unless you know of your company’s financial situation, plans to restructure or industry-wide developments, a lay off may not be what you expect.

“And then there is the risk most dangerous of all: the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet that you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.” (Randy Komisar)
Create an emergency fund
How an emergency fund reduces the bumps on the road
“When it rains, it pours.” Have you heard this saying? It’s referring how when something bad (or good) happens, it generally happens a couple of times. And guess what! It happened to us recently. A medical bill, a new laptop and a dead car this week. Thank goodness we had an emergency fund! Otherwise these unplanned expenses would have left us with a major bump. We want you to feel financially more secure for this unknowns and here are our tips for you to create an emergency fund.

Getting into my teen’s bedroom is like visiting IKEA.
You pop in just to look and come out with 6 cups, 3 plates, 2 bowls, a tea towel and some cutlery!

I’ll bet they’d live a lot differently.” (Calvin & Hobbes)
We’re on holidays
We’re taking this week off to catch up with friends and family, enjoy the cooler temperatures and eat plenty of delicious food.
We’ll be back with our latest organising tips focusing on YOU next Monday again. Some of you have emailed us, looking for tips on meal planning, paper clutter and managing a busy calendar. Expect these and many more topics to come in the following weeks.

Until next week,
