Decluttering is the new super-skill for work life


The Art of Decluttering is an inspiring package in which professional organiser and economist Henna Paakinaho opens up about the background to chaos and its impact on our daily lives. It can take the form of a talk, a workshop or a course, depending on the objectives of the community or company.

The Art of Decluttering contains a comprehensive overview of facts that will make you think about the impact of your everyday life on your health and well-being.

Change starts with motivation, which we stimulate even with a little painful facts.

I help to clear away the stress of everyday life in the middle of the busy years

I know how it feels when there are not enough hours for a demanding working life, family and home needs, rest and hobbies: at work, the to-do list grows unnoticed. The workload gets tougher and tougher, and the laundry just keeps coming in from somewhere. The chores just keep piling up. At a management meeting, a child's sleep toy is found in the laptop case. Aging parents need help and the dog needs attention. It's frustrating and stressful.

Everyday life doesn't have to be like this. The Art of Decluttering and Organising help when you need to combine a demanding job with a family everyday life.
