How long does it take you to find:
- your passport
- the spare front-door key
- your doctor’s phone number
- your last bank statement
- an envelope and stamp

Less than five minutes? Great, you are pretty de-cluttered and organised. Do you think you can improve on your time? Experts think you should find these things within a minute.

More than five minutes? You probably are wasting your time on a daily basis to look for things. What about learning to be more organised and have time to spend on other things?
