It’s time to declutter and make room for your new goals

Hello, 2022! After taking the time to reflect on the past year, it’s time to get ready for new beginnings. Not sure where to start? For a truly clean slate, your first step should be to clear and rewire your brain. And what better way to do that than with some decluttering and organizing? With a clean, put-together space (and mind!), you can stay focused on your new goals.

Check out five easy tips to help you stay organized throughout 2022. Below, you can also discover product recommendations from Shopee, your go-to source for organization items, essentials, and everything in between at the best prices:

1. Write down your to-do list

If you’ve got a lot on your plate, don’t attempt to keep your to-do list in your brain—this will only overwhelm and stress you out. Instead, stay on track with a planner. This Undated Planner from National Bookstore, perfect for fans of the hit TV show Friends, features undated pages and blank weekly pages on which you can jot down your checklists and more.

2. Set your priorities

Got a long to-do list? Don’t attempt to accomplish everything all at once. Set clear priorities by color-coding your planner. You can process each day’s tasks easily by just glancing at color-coded sticky notes. This set of Sticky Notes includes stationery in different colors and sizes.

3. Manage your workload

 

How often have you taken on extra deliverables or said yes to engagements, only to realize that your calendar is too full? This year, take care of your mental health and say no when you have to. Stay on top of your schedule with a handy pocket-sized Animal Desk Calendar. These colorful calendars, which come in pretty pastel colors, feature monthly views.

4. Keep your workspace tidy

It’s perfectly understandable if you don’t always have the time to keep your workspace spotless when you’re busy, but as much as possible, try to keep everything in its proper place. This Wooden Desk Organizer makes it easier to arrange your documents, notes, pens, and other supplies.

5. Track your finances consistently

 

Spent more than you intended during the holidays? It’s fine to treat yourself, but remember to set some savings aside as well. Get your finances back on track this year with a Budget Planner. Place your budget for each week inside the binder pockets and jot down your expenditures on the colored labels.

Achieve your 2022 interior design ideas with these XTREME Appliances

Tweet

As Filipinos welcomed 2022, most of us are starting — or even began their annual home improvements — to adapt to the interior design trends of the year. With the past two years of a global pandemic which had been difficult for most of us, it is essential to create a space that is comfortable and effective. Luckily, these 2022 interior design trends resonate with this sentiment in creating a home that is more modern yet sustainable while enabling our personal style to lead the way.

In decorating our homes, one of the common struggles is selecting the right home appliances that reflect our style vision, yet are useful and practical. XTREME Appliances, the country’s leading one-stop-shop appliance brand, is here to help you elevate your home’s overall interior design and functionality.

Multifunctional Spaces

As the global pandemic has normalized the remote work setup, it is really important to put up a multifunctional space where we can work or study. Expect that working from home setup will remain a fixture in most Filipino households, thus multipurpose room is still a must-have for this year.

Two of the most important things to consider in creating this kind of interior setup are practicality and functionality, hence selecting a good set of appliances will help your productivity at a maximum level. Having a comfortable working environment is essential, that’s why investing in premium quality air conditioners should be highly prioritized. XTREME Cool Split Type Inverter Aircon can do its job in providing a pleasant working space while saving electrical consumption of up to 60%.

To achieve a more effective working space, having a 10L XTREME Home Coffee Machine is also highly recommended, especially to caffeine-lovers out there.

Neutral Colors

Sticking to something simple yet classy is a smart choice in solving your interior design dilemmas. If you want to retain your neutral-colored interior, XTREME Appliances offers a wide range of appliances that perfectly complement your vision for each part of your home.

For your kitchen, opt for neutral-friendly appliances such as black, silver, or gray. The 90CM XTREME Home Gas Range boasts a classic aesthetic that fits just right in every design. You can add a 20L XTREME Home Microwave ‘Moon’ Oven and 6.5L XTREME Home Digital Fryer to make your kitchen look attractive while requiring minimal effort.

For your living room, watching your favorite Netflix show on your 65” XTREME Android TV won’t hurt your overall neutral look. In fact, this can add a little accent with its black frameless aesthetic.

Outdoor aesthetics

This year, enhancing your outdoor spaces might be best for you. Living in a global pandemic for nearly two years now is tiring and drowning, that’s why leveraging your outdoor space where you and your family can spend time together is a wise choice. In this way, you can have a view of the outside world yet still be at the comfort of your home — technically.

Portable appliances such as the 10L XTREME Home Air Cooler can be beneficial for your outdoor chitchat since summer is coming in just a couple of months from now. You might want also to consider setting up your laundry space outdoor — just to expand your household’s living and kitchen space. Place your XTREME Cool Front Load Washer and Dryer in an open-air area to achieve an ‘al fresco’ laundry moment — just make sure it is safe from any weather circumstances that may have a direct effect like heavy rain and direct sunlight.

Thematic Styles

One of the most challenging factors to decide upon is the overall theme of your house interior. For an industrial-looking interior, which capitalizes on metal, woods, and pipes, a combination of stainless steel, black or white will work perfectly.

This kind of look is often associated with loft and city apartments, however, you can just get the necessary elements of this style and make it work depending on your personal taste. To match your industrial-looking household, the 1.9L XTREME Home Electric Kettle is a good choice for your kitchen countertop because of its stainless steel body.

If you’re looking for an oven that complements your concrete-filled aesthetics, the 45L XTREME Home Electric Oven is an ideal cherry on top with its black metallic finish.

Emirates in 2021: A year of rebuilding and flying better

Tweet

Dubai, UAE,  – Emirates progressed on its recovery path in 2021, rebuilding its passenger network to 128 cities by December including a new route to Miami launched in July. At the end of 2021, all of Emirates’ 133 Boeing 777 aircraft and nearly 60 of its A380 fleet are in active service, connecting people to their loved ones and businesses to global opportunities. In addition, over 120 Emirates Lounges and partner facilities have re-opened to serve Emirates’ premium customers and frequent flyers.

"Despite the recent rise of the Omicron variant and the slight slowdown it brought to our network, we are going into 2022 with optimism. We’ve built up some great momentum this year and expect business growth pick up speed in 2022. Aviation has always been resilient, and we will continue to work with our industry partners to build back better for our customers and communities," said HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Emirates’ Chairman and Chief Executive.

Here’s highlighting 7 ways Emirates has helped customers fly better, and support communities and the industry in 2021:

1. Travel ease and confidence: This year, Emirates extended its generous rebooking waivers, the expiry of frequent flyer miles and tier status, and complimentary COVID-19 medical cover for all customers. emirates.com remains a top reference site for the latest travel requirements, updated at least once daily. Emirates also accelerated digital initiatives to provide customers with smoother and safer journeys...

2. Investment and innovation: In January, Emirates' Premium Economy entered service to a hugely positive response. In November, it announced a major retrofit program to equip 105 aircraft with Premium Economy seats and latest cabin interiors to ensure the Emirates experience remains best-in-sky...

3. Partnerships: Helping travelers access even more destinations, Emirates joined hands with new interline and codeshare partners – Aeromar, airBaltic, Airlink, Azul, Cemair, Garuda, Gulf Air, South African Airways, TAP Portugal; and reinforced existing strategic partnerships with Qantas and flydubai. Emirates also signed agreements and launched initiatives to support tourism to Seychelles, Maldives, Indonesia and Costa Rica.

4. Supporting global communities: Ensuring communities get rapid access to COVID-19 vaccines and other medical supplies, Emirates helped form the Dubai Vaccine Logistics Alliance, and signed an MoU with UNICEF to prioritize vaccine transport for the COVAX initiative which focuses on the equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines. By December, Emirates had transported 600 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines on its flights to over 80 destinations, one of the largest volumes globally by any airline cargo carrier. In May, it established a humanitarian airbridge to support India in its pandemic response.

An early champion of COVID-19 vaccination, Emirates ran programs to encourage its workforce to vaccinate to protect themselves and their communities and enable a safe return to travel. In February, Emirates operated a special flight operated by fully vaccinated employees to raise awareness of the importance of vaccination and showcase the success of the UAE’s vaccination drive.

5. Sustainability: Emirates partnered with Falcon Aircraft Recycling and Wings Craft in a pioneering project to upcycle its first retired A380 aircraft entirely in the UAE, reducing waste to landfill and environmental impact. It also announced at the Dubai Airshow an initiative with GE Aviation to conduct a test flight fully powered by sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on its Boeing 777 aircraft. Emirates is an active member of the World Economic Forum’s Clean Skies for Tomorrow coalition which supports a transition to SAF as a part of the journey towards carbon-neutral flying.

It also has various ongoing initiatives to reduce fuel burn and emissions, and ensure the responsible use of resources. This includes its longstanding use of sustainable blankets made from 100% recycled plastic bottles in Economy Class, and its latest amenity kit bags which contain items made from sustainable materials like wheat straw and rice paper.

6. Future of aviation: Building a pipeline of commercial pilots, Emirates Flight Training Academy graduated its 50th cadet with its successful second cohort of cadets this year. In October, Emirates hosted global aviation security stakeholders at the 5th AVESEC Global Symposium to share best practice in strengthening capabilities amid pandemic challenges. Emirates also continued to support Intelak and Aviation X-lab - incubator programs focused on future solutions for travel and aviation.

7. Bringing the world together at Expo Dubai: The Expo 2020 Dubai opened in October, and visits to the global mega-event have climbed to 8 million, as people from all around the globe come together to celebrate human achievement and inspire future solutions for the world. Through various initiatives, including programs to encourage visitation from small and medium sized businesses, Emirates continues to bring the world to Dubai for the Expo. It is also showcasing future aviation technology concepts at its Emirates Pavilion.
