Meal planning is one of these things that many women aspire to but don’t make happen. If that’s your case, instead of focusing on the task, try to focus on the benefits as it’ll surely encourage you to get started. And, as you’ll find out below, there are plenty of benefits!
Are your child’s toys taking over your home?
Then I’m sure you appreciate how seeing toys strewn all over your home and that seem to reappear within hours of your past attempts to straighten up can affect your sanity.
But did you know that too many toys can also affect your child’s development? Indeed a recent study conducted by the University of Toledo in the US showed that children who have too many toys to play with are more easily distracted and show less interest in their toys, while children who have fewer toys play longer and use their imaginations more.
So if it’s not for your own sanity, I think it’s time you do something to end the toys chaos at home for your children’s sake, don’t you think? This is how.
I don’t think I have ever been consciously collecting stuff. Maybe because I saw how my late dad holding onto every single power tool and building supply that came his way led over the years to an overstuffed garage in which it was difficult to locate what he needed when he wanted to fix something.

There are many benefits for clearing clutter. You free up space eliminating the need to rent external storage space or move to a larger home. You know what you own so you save money by eliminating the need to buy something you already have but can’t remember you have or can’t find. You save time by finding what you want when you need it. These benefits are obvious, right? But have you thought of the impact that clearing clutter can have on your mental well-being?
When you’re unwell, sick or injured, the last thing you want to do is to waste time rummaging through stuff to find the medicine you need. So medicine organisation is critical, even more so in a home with young children or elderly people. The good news is that this project can be tackled in about one hour. Here is how.
No matter how well we plan our days, we all face those days when we have too much to do or when an unexpected event throws our plans off – whether it’s a boss or client having an urgent request or a child being down with high fever and who needs to be taken to the doctor. So how to handle those days without the stress building up, but instead experience a sense of accomplishment?
