Before I met Lissanne Oliver 9 years ago, I was a hoarder. From shoes to magazines, fabric that I would never use, to gifts that were given to me that did not suit me or my personality.
As a person who has a parent with OCD, I was very lucky to meet her as she has re-trained my brain to think twice before keeping something.
Lissanne's company,
SORTED! specialises in Organising & Decluttering people's homes, offices and anywhere else that needs a 'spring clean'.
Her company do not encourage "chucking stuff in the bin", they encourage recycling, reusing and giving unwanted goods to charity.
As this year has been one of the busiest years of my life, I am finding that everywhere I go in my home and studio, I am surrounded by imbaratz (junk, in Maltese). So I am taking a few hours this weekend to refer to my personal saviour, Lissanne's book titled
Sorted! The ultimate guide to organising your life - once and for all and getting organised before the harsh Summer heat wave hits us here in Australia.
I have one copy of Sorted! to give away to one lucky blog reader who signs up to the
SORTED! mailing list and leaves a comment on my blog, outlining why you should win this book.
The SORTED! newsletter is not spammy and is filled with useful tips including eco-friendly ways to wrangle your clutter.
