Are you enjoying the longer days with the sun setting well after 8 p.m.? If you are a gardener, I’m sure you have been busy prepping and planting. Spring is also a good time to clean out closets and donate unwanted items. Decluttering can be rejuvenating and serve as a reminder to evaluate what is and is not working with your work-life goals.
