It’s the start of a new week. For many, it’s also the end of the summer holiday and they’re back at work. For others, the new school year will start this week and many families are going back to a busy life. Are you one of them? If yes, this post is for you!

I’ll bet they’d live a lot differently.” (Calvin & Hobbes)
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.
If you like us to focus on certain areas to make your life easier, drop us a note.
Until next week,

When life gives you something that makes you feel afraid, that’s when life gives you a chance to be brave.
Have you ever had this? A bad dream or thoughts racing through your mind keeping you awake at night? I unfortunately experienced one of those nights recently. It sucked!
From 2 am, I was awake, finally dozed off, just to be woken up 5 minutes later. By 5 am, I’ve had it and went for a walk along the beach. My first intentional walk before sunrise!
Your body will be around longer that that expensive handbag. Invest in yourself.
Can you believe it’s already August? How quickly has summer passed! Now it’s also the time to get ready for school soon again. Are you ready for the new school year? More importantly, is your kid ready yet?
We’ve to admit we are a bit late posting this today (yes, even we have only so many hours to make everything happen). But tada, here’s your checklist to start the new school year without tears and in a stress-free manner.
“Clutter smothers. Simplicity breathes.” (Terry Guillements)
You’ve probably heard about Barbara Hemphill, the paper tiger lady, mentioning SYSTEM. It’s a slogan she picked up early in her organising career and it stands for “Saving you space, time, energy, money.” That’s right, that’s what professional organisers like her and us at Organised Life and Mind do. However, some folks are still sceptical about the true benefits of getting organised. So we’ve asked the ones who’ve already started their journey of decluttering and getting more organised. “What were your biggest surprising benefits, positive or negative, when you decluttered?”
“Clearing clutter — be it physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual — brings about ease and inspires a sense of peace, calm and tranquillity.” (Laurie Buchanan)
