Let me tell you why I love my husband. He’s got a fabulous sense of humor, he can get along with just about anyone, and he really does read Maxim for the articles!

How do I know this? A few days ago, he came racing down the hallway asking for a pair of scissors (yep, he’s a member of the husband group that has trouble finding things). He wanted to cut out an article he was reading in Maxim because he thought I would be interested in it. I had my doubts…

Obviously, Maxim is not on the top of my list of reading materials. Unless we’re talking about Maksim Chmerkovskiy (you Dancing with the Stars fans know who I’m talking about), I’m not really interested…until three days ago when I read Spring Clean Your Life and saw this:

Pay a professional home organizer to help clear all your clutter.  Find a legit one near you at napo.net [Your Chores]

I was sooo excited that NAPO got a shout out! …and this little tid bit was #4 on their list…

Peep these stats: It takes more than a minute to get back to work after responding to an e-mail. On average, workers respond to more than 120 e-mails and IMs every day. Add it up and so-called “multitasking” costs you 2.1 hours of no-tasking each day, according to Basex, an IT consulting firm. [Your Productivity]

It was a good read (surprised was I), though I suggest that if you have sensitive eyes or a “OMG! I would never use that language!” frame of mind, you should peruse at your own risk. Honestly, I laughed out loud a couple of times. Click here to read the entire article. *Sorry, Maxim has since removed the article from their database.

So, now you know how to clear up all the clutter in your life (whilst avoiding a few scantily clad women as you flip through the mag), why I so love my hubby, and why I still let him read Maxim. ;)
