My Gran is right about sorting out your draws

We have had a slight spring clean in preparation for an 'Arts Unwrapped' event we are hosting at our offices (8th-10th June for anyone who wants to come along free and fun and lots of great art and books on offer).
The last time we did this was pre Xmas which again was for our annual Xmas Fair (again free for all and mince pies and mulled wine for free!).
It is amazing what an effect this can have on the mood and feel of the office generally. It somehow gives people a slight spring in their step - rather like the weather can. The fact that this 'spring in the step' is evident despite the recent bank holiday weather just proves that my Gran was always right.
She used to always say that whenever you got yourself into a 'tiss', you should go to your room and throw out all of your clothes from the draws onto the bed. Then simply put them back in again. By the time you have done this, you will no longer be in a 'tiss'.
It creates a sense or order or balance. It makes one feel in control and able to tackle other more important things knowing that the basics (clothes being accessible) are in place.
So - for all those out there who find themselves in a 'tiss' go empty and refill your draws. It feels great.
