With all the world’s tragedies weighing heavily on me lately, I’ve been doing my best to seek out as much positivity as possible. I’ve had an amazing summer volunteering, and so far my only regret is that there isn’t enough time to do more. There are some truly unique and life-changing community volunteer opportunities that many don’t know about — and there are countless rewards for donating our time! So I decided to create my own positivity by spreading the word: Find (or Create) Your Ideal Volunteer Opportunity 15 Ways to Help Homeless Dogs How to Volunteer with Your … [Read more...]

Mini Mission Monday — A greeting card for every (decluttering) occasion
Mini Mission Monday is about finding ten minutes a day to declutter. To make it easy for you, each Monday I set seven declutter missions, one for each day of the week for you to follow. It takes the guess work out of decluttering and makes it easy and "fun" for you to achieve some quick decluttering.

Freeing up space
I talk a lot about freeing up space in cupboards, closets, shelves and floors. No one ever seems to have questioned me as to what all this space is being freed up for. What is the point in having empty spaces on shelves or floor space that could hold furniture to store or organise all your stuff.

However you wouldn’t even be entertaining the thought of decluttering if being cluttered was working for you. One thing for sure, that I have mentioned before, is … [Read more...]

My personal guidelines on document files.
Going through and decluttering your filing cabinet can be a nightmare when it has been neglected for a long time. So I have written a set of guidelines below that I use to declutter my files and to avoid paperwork buildup in the first place. Don't file anything you don't need to keep. By "need" I mean absolutely should keep. Don't allow anxiety to force you to keep documents that aren't really important. Only keep tax papers for the government prescribed length of time then declutter them. Switch to as many digital documents (bills, newsletters, school notes etc) as possible … [Read more...]

It takes the guess work out of decluttering and makes it easy and "fun" for you to achieve some quick decluttering. This week we are going to search for some clutter that shouldn’t be too hard to find because it is out in the open right under your nose.
