Popsugar recently published an article about the benefits of getting rid of junk. In an age of materialism and consumerism it's important not to let our lives and our homes get too cluttered. Here is a summary:
1. Clutter can inhibit your ability to think clearly;
2. Decluttering requires physical activity;
3. It reduces stress;
4. It increases productivity;
5. It motivates you to get organised in other areas of your life;
6. It can help your allergies;
7. Getting rid of things is therapeutic; and
8. It makes you happier.

Exams are an unpleasant part of life and can be very stressful. So how do you stay sane and do your best? Reachout.com have some tips including:
Manage your stress - plan your revision and break it down into manageable chunks;
Take the pressure off - if you're putting too much pressure on yourself try to remember that failure isn't fatal and if others are putting too much pressure on you (e.g. parents) try talking to them;
Do it together - study with a friends who take the same subjects;
Go easy on the substances - caffeine, red bull, (avoid drugs and alcohol altogether);
Get enough sleep, eat good food and keep moving; and

Ask Me Anything is a fantastic book by Rebecca Sparrow. Rebecca is an author and columnist on mamamia.com.au. She openly and honestly tackles all kinds of questions in this book like "how do you know if your friends really like you?" and "how can I feel closer to my mum who died?" If she doesn't have an answer, she finds someone who does. I highly recommend it and can't wait to read her other books, Find Your Tribe and Find Your Feet.
