Spring Clearing Week (24th-30th March) is being launched in 2018 by APDO Association of Professional Declutterers & Organisers in a bid to help the nation remember to take stock of their stuff at least once a year!
Research by MoneyMagpie in 2017* found that 50% of the UK population has ditched the traditional spring clean, citing a lack of time, apathy and the on-going cleanliness of the home as their reasons for doing so. APDO members are keen to ensure that this valuable chance to clear the decks of any physical (and consequently mental) clutter is not abandoned too, so they have launched Spring Clearing Week in 2018 to highlight the benefits of an annual review of our ‘stuff’.
APDO members around the country will be helping the public to declutter and clear out after the dreary winter months to revitalise their environment with renewed energy and vibrancy.
If you are losing the battle with your home or office admin, perhaps spending hours looking for important documents (particularly if you work from home) then Sue Tozer at Completely Sorted! can help. Maybe you are overwhelmed and just don’t know where to start with the sorting-out and filing that is necessary to achieving an organised working space, whether at home or in the office? Perhaps you know someone elderly, ill or bereaved who can no longer cope with form-filling, correspondence and their household/ life admin? Completely Sorted! will assist with all types of paperwork and once those mountains of paper on your dining table, worktops or in your spare-room have been conquered, you could start issuing invitations to friends and family again. Completely sorted!
Spring Clearing Week is a great chance to review priorities for the year ahead and pick up any lapsed new year resolutions. Using this week can help you focus on whether the environment in your home is really helping you to achieve these goals.
Katherine Blackler (SortMySpace Ltd), APDO head of partnership says, “We’re excited to launch Spring Clearing Week this March and see how we can encourage and inspire the public to tackle their spaces to make 2018 their best year yet!”
