Spring clean your love life

Is there any better time of year to give your love life an overhaul than Spring? Not according to this article in Canoe:

"Everything in life has an expiry date."

So says author and lecturer Paul Talbot. And he's right. Whether it's milk or relationships, sometimes you just have to let it go to clear the space for something new.

And applying some of the principles in Talbot's book, Clear the Clutter and Simplify Your Life can help you sort through your love life, to jettison what's not working and concentrate on what is.

In his seminars and workshops, the British-born, Vancouver-based Talbot teaches people how to simplify their lives in six basic areas: household, lifestyle, career, health, finance and relationships. "Clutter has a domino effect," says Talbot, who calls himself "a clutter therapist."
