Clean for just a day
Find your cleaning angel and control the dirt devil in your home
2017 is only 49 days away from today and like many, I’m making the remainder of 2016 count. Unfortunately, little trivial things do get in the way. Cleaning tops that list for me!
I was laughing so hard when I then watch Modern Family this weekend. Claire, one of the characters, was getting ready to start a new job and enlisted her entire family of 5 to clean their house. It was funny to watch them struggle like so many other families, mine included.
Some folks find cleaning relaxing. Not me, until I set up a cleaning routine. Here are some tips for setting up your own cleaning schedule:

National Organising Week (NOW) 2016
National Organising Week (NOW) between 7th-13th November 2016 is designed to celebrate the positive impact of decluttering & organising your home.
The Association of Professional Declutterers & Organisers (APDO) is running a 3rd annual National Organising Week (NOW) asking: Why delay letting go of those possessions which are cluttering your home and impacting on your precious living space? Declutter NOW.
So from 7th-13th November, APDO is launching a mission to encourage UK households to tackle those niggling tasks. We at Organised Life and Mind decided to take it further and also move NOW to this region!
UPDATE! October is another “No Spending Month”

October was the second time that I’ve entered a “no spending month” in 2017. Knowing what would await me, I thought I was much better prepared. In a way, that’s also true. But this time, there were also some new developments which left me grateful and satisfied!

Declutter for your job search!
Too much stuff hindering your job search?
Do you remember last week’s post about finding a job? Sounds pretty easy, doesn’t it? Why it then so difficult to land that job? Of course, there are general external factors like the general economic climate, availability of vacancies in your field.
But many candidates are blocked internally. They can’t get their head around the job search and aren’t as effective as they could be. Here are 3 great tips to give you that clarity needed to land that job!
Looking for a new job?
How to find a new job you love
We’re coming to the end of the year and people are starting to look for a new job. “New year, new you!” Last week, I’ve helped a friend with a career question and taken on a new client looking for support for their career transition. How fitting of them to want to have a new job and career by 2017!
