Life Of E's

The May ‘Third Thursday Productivity Time focused on ‘Decluttering and De-stressing.’  One of the participants who is a university professor (and who also manages a lab) sent this to me after she downloaded the free Special Report “Rid Your Workspace of Clutter.” 

Meggin,

My 15 and 19 year-old daughters made labels for my boxes and I have hired the 19-year old, my college student/daughter to help me de-clutter a lab.

Although I took the warning about hiring one’s child seriously, it is currently working out – she knows me so well! Also I printed out the document on ridding one’s space of clutter and asked her to read it. Much to my surprise, she read the document and is following the advice to the letter. The kids had great fun making the labels and even shredded the edges of the “Shred” lab. They made fun of me in the “…But I might category” as they see this as my most serious weakness.

The problem I am dealing with is that I have become a full-time administrator and as a result of a move, I have let my lab space become cluttered with detritus from teaching and research. I am now trying to de-clutter so that I can once again have student researchers work productively in the space.

Thanks for all of your tips and help.

I love this!  Whatever you need, folks, just get some help and get your decluttering and destressing underway!
