Declutter for five minutes

Most of us are spending more time at home, and it can be helpful to feel good in that environment. Instead of overhauling your entire space, try decluttering for 5 minutes each day. Pick one shelf to start, pick up five things and find a home for them, or try completing tasks that take under five minutes. For more five-minute decluttering tips, check out this article.

UW-Stout Library Feature Stream: Symbiotic Earth

"Symbiotic Earth" explores the life and ideas of Lynn Margulis, a brilliant and radical scientist, whose unconventional theories challenged the male-dominated scientific community and are today fundamentally changing how we look at ourselves, evolution, and the environment.    This selection, one of the 100,000+ titles in your Video Streaming Library, is brought to you by Docuseek.
