  • Shred Unneeded Documents . Shred any documents you don't need. . This is not my favourite chore but so necessary to keep paperwork to bits that are only needed and keep space clean and clear. . You can get some really nice home shredders that are just as good as professional ones. . If you haven't got time to shred your documents, I've discovered a ID Theft Protection Stamp Roller which I bought on @ebayUK which helps block out your personal details and is perfect for hard to remove labels on every day correspondence. . This is one of the best things I've bought for a couple of quid! . How often do you shred your documents? . . . . . . . ⁣⁣⁣#Declutter #KonMari #HomeOffice #Organiser #OrganiseYourLife #30PlusBlogs #30Plus #TheGirlGang #DesiBlogger #PakistaniBlogger #LondonBloggers #DiscoverUnder2k #TheCaptionClub
  • BACKUP YOUR FILES . Backup your digitial files to an external hard drive. . When I was studying, I can't tell you how many versions of the same file I had and I used to save constantly. . Nowadays we're all a bit lax when it comes to backing up your files, but it's so important. . Also having separate folders physically for your bills, medical appointments and other life admin helps you find things when you need them most. . You all know how much I love a colourful folder and a label maker haha! . . . . . . ⁣⁣⁣#Declutter #KonMari #HomeOffice #Organiser #OrganiseYourLife #30PlusBlogs #30Plus #TheGirlGang #DesiBlogger #PakistaniBlogger #LondonBloggers #DiscoverUnder2k #TheCaptionClub
  • Get Money from Your Receipts ⠀ I've mentioned this a few times, but if you download Shoppix, and scan in your receipts you can get points over time which turn into Amazon Vouchers or Money. ⠀ They also have fu quizes and scratch cards to get more points. ⠀ Receipts need to be from within the last 7 days to earn points. ⠀ I have a whole post written about this so search Simplyhumaira.com for Shoppix to find out more. ⠀ What do you do with your receipts? . . . . . . ⁣⁣⁣#Declutter #KonMari #HomeOffice #Organiser #OrganiseYourLife #30PlusBlogs #30Plus #TheGirlGang #DesiBlogger #PakistaniBlogger #LondonBloggers #DiscoverUnder2k #TheCaptionClub
  • Clean Your Computer . Whether you have a Desktop or Laptop, keeping your computer clean is so important. . There's lots of tips on how to keep them clean, but I find having the screen clean with a microfibre cloth and cleaning the keyboards is vital. . I know I'm clumsy, so I have a plastic keyboard cover I bought from Amazon to keep my computer keyboard clean. . I just wipe it down occasionally. . Simples! . If you have a traditional keyboard then using compressed air and some antibacterial solution should help get the cumbs and dirt out. . How often do you clean your computer? . . . . . . . . ⁣⁣⁣#Declutter #KonMari #HomeOffice #Organiser #OrganiseYourLife #30PlusBlogs #30Plus #TheGirlGang #DesiBlogger #PakistaniBlogger #LondonBloggers #DiscoverUnder2k #TheCaptionClub
  • Clean Table and Drawers . Cleaning the table and drawers in your home office and study is a great idea as you can get so many random wires, pens and bits all around. . With both my husband and I working from home, I've had to give up the Study so he can do his work, while I work in the kitchen or dining room. . Our work styles are so different, it's better that we operate a clean desk policy so that if we decide to swap, all his paperwork or mine is not left on the table. . We also label most of the cords in the drawers which helps keep track of which wire is what for charging purposes and helps eliminate duplicates! . What tips do you have for cleaning tables and drawers? . . . . . . . . ⁣⁣⁣#Declutter #KonMari #HomeOffice #Organiser #OrganiseYourLife #30PlusBlogs #30Plus #TheGirlGang #DesiBlogger #PakistaniBlogger #LondonBloggers #DiscoverUnder2k #TheCaptionClub
  • I admit before I moved in with my new husband, I had a lot of Books and I had a lot of Shoes. . 6 years on, both those things have now diminished which does make me very sad. . I have drastically cut down my book collection, as I dont have as much time to read as I used to, despite starting a Book Review account over at @bookishconnections last year! . I've been very lucky and privileged to read so many wonderful authors, but in my 30s, I'm turning into a bit of a minimalist. . I don't like collecting stuff for the sake of it, and I find myself reading via the library books, audio books or on my Kindle Oasis more than real, physical books. . In her books, @mariekondo says we should tap books to "Wake them up" before we get rid of them. . I know there was a lot of controversy about the amount of books she suggested to keep, but I've only kept the ones that speak to me and are incredibly well loved and read. . Sometimes, I get multiple copies across the platforms like a physical copy and then one on my Kindle for easy access. . Yes, that's a bit extra haha! . How many books do you keep in your bookshelves? . . . . . . ⁣⁣⁣#Declutter #KonMari #HomeOffice #BookShelves #BookShelf #DeclutterBooks #DeclutterBookShelf #Organiser #OrganiseYourLife #30PlusBlogs #30Plus #TheGirlGang #DesiBlogger #PakistaniBlogger #LondonBloggers #DiscoverUnder2k #TheCaptionClub

  • Corona Virus . I know we're all sick of hearing this word as much as we were of Brexit, but the fact is this is a killer virus. . It robs us of humanity, it robs us of our normal routine and it robs us of precious time with our loved ones. . I've questioned whether to continue my cleaning and organising series in the wake of the current world climate because quite honestly I've lost my appetite for Blogging during this time. . This whole situation has made me question what matters to me and who matters to me most and the ones I love are the ones I try and keep in touch with. . Solidarity and community spirit is what's keeping us going during this time, so while I may not be active as much, it doesn't mean that I'm not breaking behind the scenes. . We all are. . Some of us choose to keep going, and some of us withdraw. . The future is so uncertain, we can only take life in minutes, hours and days rather than weeks, months or years. . So, while I don't really feel like it, I think continuing the series will be good for me. . Hopefully, it will help some of you as well and who knows, maybe the world will be a kinder, warmer place if we all have time to do some self-reflection and deal with our own selves. . So to all my fellow self-isolationers, the best is yet to come. . This too shall pass.
