Spring cleaning for your house and your workspace!

As spring draws to an end and summer on its way in - you still have time to unclutter your space, toss what you don't need and create an effective organizational system for home and work.

I work for a company that emphasizes lean workspaces, inventory, and processes - so while I am pretty neat and organized by nature, working at an organization that measures employee's efforts towards neat workspaces by recording and tracking through metrics, has definitely catapulted me to an extreme level of clean!  Label this, sort that, shred this, but file that...after 5 years of complying with this requirement, I work faster, more efficiently and my office is envied by my entire department!

Still not sold on spring cleaning your office space...Check out why with this article from MSN Careers:

Happy Memorial Day!

Not only a day off of work, BUT a day to remember the men and women who died while serving in the US Armed Forces and support those who are serving as we speak.

So, while you are BBQing, having fun at a water park, or just lounging mentally recharging in preparation to face work on Tuesday, take a minute to reflect on the meaning of Memorial Day.
