Clothing is a recurring theme in terms of organization. Do you have a large pile of clothes on a chair – and thus clothing that is not in the wardrobe? Perhaps those are things that you wear most often.
A place for your keys
Assign a fixed place for things – this is a well-known rule of organization. Your keys in particular need a logical and fixed storage place.
Concentrated working
It makes time, clears your head and gives you a good feeling, if you can work in a concentrated manner. But how do you do that, if you are in a busy work environment, or you are constantly haunted by the feeling that you have so many other things to do? ….
Playful planning
If you are looking for a light-hearted way to plan activities, look no further than Lego. You’ve probably got some in the house, but you will need a baseboard. If you also have plenty of bricks and figures, you can go to town.

Set your (holiday) limits
The summer period is here, and perhaps you are going on holiday. You often choose a totally different way of life. For example, a small house, a tent, or perhaps just a few bags and a bicycle. You take a condensed selection of stuff with you in a suitcase, and leave the e-mail to its own accord. You limit certain distractions, because then you can enjoy the different holiday surroundings to the fullest. You become nifty at getting along with less stuff, you come up with creative solutions, and finally, without the TV and the computer, you have time for that book.
