I’ve been busy the past few months helping project manage #Intelematics recent office relocation. What a great experience working alongside the Social Enterprise team at @PonyUpforGood turning all retired technology into fresh meals for people in need👏👏👏

More than 1000 kilos of retired tech was collected, securely recycled and resulted in a donation of 384 fresh meals for people in need, via the food rescue superheroes, @SecondBiteorg

It's a win-win at a time when it's never been more important to find new and innovative ways to make a contribution to communities in need 🍏🍽️

@PonyUpForGood is a Certified Social Enterprise + Engagement Agency, providing secure & sustainable collection + data destruction services for some of Australia’s largest and most innovative businesses 🎉

PonyUp remove your company's donated, decommissioned technology - securely data erase it and re-market it, with a 'reuse first mandate' - keeping toxic chemicals out of our landfill and waterways♻️🌏

If you’ve got a bunch of old computer gear collecting dust in your workplace that you don’t know what to do with, I highly recommend you get in touch with Mardi at @ponyupforgood Turn your company's decommissioned technology into healthy meals for those doing it tough - GiddyUp! 🐎

“I spend my days taking my clients on a design journey – I know how to run a project, manage expectations, mitigate risk and follow through. But when it came to my recent house move, I felt out of my depth. I didn’t have a network of house movers, or professional wrappers, I needed someone to shine a light on what needed to happen. Danielle had worked with a client of mine and I very much appreciated her guidance and humour on what was possibly one of the biggest emotional rollercoaster rides to date. We moved out, in and set up in about 48 hours...it was magic! Thanks Danielle and your ripper crew of ladies”.

💥PROCRASTINATION💥⠀⁠

‘The act of unnecessarily postponing decisions or actions’.

Sound familiar?🙄
⠀⁠
The 5 second rule is a simple decision making tool that can literally change your behaviour.⠀⁠
⠀⁠
Most of us have instincts that tell us to play it safe and not be courageous. But the 5 second rule can give us just enough time to move in the direction that can open us up to life’s opportunities.⠀⁠
⠀⁠
What important tasks have you been putting off on your to-do list?

Chances are, it won’t be as daunting + time consuming as you may think.

Stop thinking and start doing. You’ll thank your future self. I promise.

5,4,3,2,1..........let’s go! 🏃‍♀️👊💥 ⠀⁠

Do you prefer to pack up straight after Christmas, or wait until the new year?🤷‍♀️

It may be a little early to start thinking about packing away the festive decor for some…but with a little preparation, along with a few key storage items, you can save yourself a lot of extra work next year! 🙌

It’s easy to accumulate new decoration additions each year. Now is the perfect time to look through what stuff you didn’t use and do a little purging. Donate anything you know that won’t be used next year to ensure it doesn’t clutter up your valuable storage space!⠀
⠀
Here are some tips for storing holiday decorations to ensure your next festive season is filled with more joy and less stress + chaos.⠀
⠀
✔️sort supplies into categories (baubles, tinsel, lights, wrapping etc)⠀

✔️matching, clear, stackable storage tubs create a visually appealing look + maximise your storage space ⠀
✔️ziplock bags are great to categorise + contain small items

✔️to avoid tangled lights + tinsel, neatly wrap them around a piece of cardboard with a cut at each end to loop around.

✔️plastic cups + egg cartons are an inexpensive option for storing baubles + small delicate hanging decorations. Or you can invest around $20 and buy an @ezystorage decoration storage tub with dividers from @bunnings

✔️Christmas tree storage bags keep your tree dust free, and ensure nothing gets damaged.

✔️apply large easy to read labels to all tubs

✔️contain wrapping paper rolls in a clear hanging garment bag ⠀
⠀
How do you store your holiday decor?

With Christmas fast approaching, it’s a great time to clear the clutter and make way for new toys and kids accessories that will be entering your home🙈

By following the ‘one in one out’ rule, excess clutter is less likely to creep in🤞😅

Throw out anything that is broken or missing pieces and donate toys and games your family has outgrown or no longer play with.

There are many charitable organisations that will welcome good quality toy donations, especially at this time of year. @sacredheartmission @salvosau @vinniesvictoria @stkildamums to name a few ❤️

Online selling platforms like @ebayau @gumtreeaus and @facebookapp marketplace are also excellent ways to give your treasures a second life.

Keen to entrust an extra set of hands to help calm the chaos and get your home in order in the new year? Let’s chat! Get in touch via the link in bio.

I look forward to connecting with you.

Happiness doesn’t come from stuff. All the material possessions in your life just compete for your attention.⠀
⠀
I encourage you to remove the distractions and surround yourself with the people you love and experiences that make you happy this Christmas. Remember, your TIME is one of the most precious gifts you can give ✨⠀

Happy Monday 🤍

“Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.”⁠

What can you do today that your future self will thank you for?⁠

For me…it’s going to be some simple food prep to make feeding time at the zoo a little less stressful + time consuming🙈🙉⁠
⁠
🙌 healthy snacks prepared ⁠
🙌 smoothie fruit portioned to freeze⁠
