Hi

Hooray it's May. 

We have a fascinating and fun packed month ahead in TEAM17. 

As we start our 90 day theme ‘Sort Your Sh*t Out’ I thought it would be fun to share 17 thoughts to help us gain the most from this experience.

1 - Watch the replay of DAY17 here where we launched it. 
2 - If you don’t have time to watch it all, watch from 26:30 🤫
3 - You may want a resource to help with the ‘things’ part.
4 - A good start would be the book Clear The Clutter Now.
5 - Speaking of decluttering, the first Stream Declutter Your Home with be with the author, Janine McDonald on Wed 22nd May, 7pm. 
6 - There are three parts. The second is Declutter Your Admin with Sarah McGeough and that’s on Wed 12th June, 7pm.
7 - And finally, Declutter Your Head with me on Mon 8th July, 7pm
8 - But you can start now. 
9 - And anything you sort out is a SWin. 
10 - On DAY17 on Fri 17th May, 6pm, we’re going to talk more.
11 - And if you find a resource please share it. 
12 - This should be fun. Please post in the TEAM17 FB Group. 
13 - Often it’s not the letting go of something that’s difficult, it’s processing the loss. And turning decluttering into a habit - I’m learning. 
14 - I love this subject, as it is subjective and unique to us all. I think it will stimulate some interesting conversation and learning.
15 - Although we are doing 90 days I don’t think this one will end. 
16 - Please participate as much as you can. 
17 - It will be fun. Promise. 

More details of our fab theme below.

Be Brilliant!

I hope you were able to read more about Debbie Bias in the Spotlight. She asked a question and wanted help from TEAM17.

Debbie's question for TEAM17 - What tips can you offer to help me get debt free in an economy with crazy inflation?
