" After the holidays, many shoppers load up their carts with storage bins, shelving systems and color-coded containers, all in a resolute quest to get organized for the new year.

The country’s collective desire to clean up is evident in the proliferation of organization-oriented businesses like the Container Store and California Closets. Reality shows like “Mission Organization” on HGTV and “How Clean is Your House?” on Lifetime feed a national obsession to declutter. The magazine Real Simple has even created a $13 special issue on cleaning house. "

" If you have a delayed sleep phase and you tried to wake up at a "normal" time this morning, such as 7:30 am, there are two reasons you probably found it difficult and unpleasant. First you didn't spent enough time sleeping to fulfill your sleep requirement. The other reason is that the drive for sleep follows a cycle, determined by the biological clock.

"A BREAKTHROUGH APPROACH TO HAPPINESS

What would it take to make you happy? A fulfilling career, a big bank account, or the perfect mate? What if it didn't take anything to make you happy? What if you could experience happiness from the inside out -- no matter what's going on in your life?

This life-changing program shows you how!

In Happy for No Reason, transformational expert and bestselling author Marci Shimoff reveals a remarkable program, incorporating the latest findings in positive psychology, moving real-life stories and powerful tools and techniques that will raise your happiness set-point and enable you to experience more unconditional happiness in your life -- starting today."

" We all know that wealth and money are the main topics of every one’s adult life whether we accept it or not. Wealth being such a major topic of people lives, the amount of conscious time we devote to it is staggeringly low.
