Declutter Fast By Mimi Tanner - My Review

Have you just woken up to your treasured free weekend after a hard week at your job? Then as you walk to your kitchen, have you been depressed with the amount of clutter lying around your home? Instead of enjoying your free time, you feel you have to spend the time you need for yourself clearing clutter?


Well, you aren't the only one; there are lots of other people going through just what you are and it's a shame as your free time is treasured and should not be used up decluttering your home.


Believe it or not, there is real and useful help at hand through Mimi Tanner and her ebook "Declutter Fast" Mimi used to write an email column for women and their relationships, but ended up battling with her own clutter due to her busy lifestyle.


She tried all of the various cures in the form of books and articles but soon understood nothing really worked for her. This encouraged her to originate her own remedy to clutter, and if you go by the writing from delighted customers, then she without doubt knows what she is writing about.


Mimi understands that clutter can arise from many distinctive scenarios: a hectic working schedule, a mother with a busy family, adverse relationship problems, or losing a loved one. Any one of these can lead to allowing clutter to dominate your home. She also understands that you can be unjustly judged by having your home in a cluttered state.


Declutter Fast is exactly that. Mimi shows that an average level of a cluttered home can be cleared in 1-2 days. You don't have to toss everything away; you just have to organize it. For more serious disorder, she makes it clear that you can declutter on your own terms, fast or slow.


Mimi's 71 page ebook shows you how you can do an emergency declutter, for instance, when the in-laws are going to drop in for lunch! Because we all know our Mother-in-law's home is at all times spotless!


Mimi's concept is that there are 17 fundamental types of objects that require a spot in your home and practically everything in the world falls into one of these basics. She doesn't desire for you to feel ashamed about your clutter, but to just get it handled. It's no joy living in a home where you have to dig through piles of clothes on your bed just to be able to crawl in to sleep. Or having to clean off the couch before you can relax to read your book.


Clutter affects so many of us in a variety of distinctive ways but "Declutter Fast" is a very compassionate, sensible and easy answer to managing our homes.


How much more peaceful to awaken on your free weekend and just need to face the simple decision of what movie you want to look at or book to read. Not, "How am I going to deal with this Clutter?" Use 'Declutter Fast' and then you will have ample time to enjoy life!


I'm Jo Tempest. Do you need help to restore order to your life? I highly recommend Declutter Fast to help you regain control of your home, and your life.

Book Summary: Boomerang - The Meltdown Tour - Written by Michael Lewis

Michael Lewis is a very popular author with writings including - The Big Short, Liars Poker and the Blind Side. Boomerang is a review of the sovereign debt crisis. This is a global problem that 90% of Americans are clueless about. This problem and the U.S. debt have the ability to be as fatal to our society as a third world war. Our government is trying to kick the can farther down the road so they don't have to deal with it. Boomerang will open your eyes to the issue from a few of the PIIGS (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain) perspective.


Why is this important to me? In this summary, I don't have to ask this question because the sovereign debt crisis affects everyone and it is everybody's problem. Unfortunately, herd mentality invites the slaughter. I recommend you get educated on this and start protecting yourself.


1. Doom / Gloom - I am not a doom and gloom world ending person but logic dictates that the debts accrued by the US and the European Union cannot be sustained. The question is - what happens when the defaults start. You really need to get educated and start protecting yourself


2. Savers are losers - Robert Kiyosaki from Rich Dad Poor Dad always states that savers are losers. He does not mean this as a derogatory statement. What he is referring to is that $1 dollar today is the equivalent to 4 cents in 1913. This means that the dollar has lost 96% of its value. So if you keep your savings in dollars then you are losing money due to inflation. In 2008, 100 year old institutions were sold in a weekend (Merrill Lynch). Money and currency are two different things and it makes sense to protect yourself so that you do not have counter party risk. What this means is that if your money is in the bank and there is a bank run then you have counter party risk. If you own real money like Gold or Silver then there is no counter party risk.


Michael Lewis travels the world and investigates the sovereign debt crisis by talking and seeing the effects first hand. The book is a good story; I only wish it was fiction.


Kyle Bass is the investor who shorted the big banks and predicted Fannie Mae would go bankrupt. He made millions of dollars by shorting the mortgage industry. When asked what the average person should do to protect themselves from the potential financial carnage, he says buy Guns and Gold. This is a scary prophecy from a guy who got it right once.


Look around and listen to the politicians. President Obama in August raised the debt ceiling right in the last hour to AVOID CATESTROPHIC consequences to our economy. Those words are powerful but I guess the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is more important. The U.S. masses are sleeping while this is going on. Remember that the first thing Hitler did with his population is take away the guns before WWII. The bankers and Wall Street are taking away the value of our currency and nothing is being done to fix it. There have been countless domino effects happening right in front of us and the only politician who remotely understands it is Ron Paul. Unfortunately he will not be elected, but if he was, he would fix it.


The fixes involved will be painful. Greece for example WILL DEFAULT because you cannot change a whole culture of people overnight. The GREEKS do not pay taxes. They are required too but it is culturally acceptable to not pay your taxes and there are no consequences if you don't. In America, we were paying an average sales person $32 million per year to trade garbage securities. Most of these traders would starve if they sold technology solutions yet they made millions of dollars while leveraging our future and country. The mortgage bubble and derivatives can be blamed on less than 100 people. A select few created these leveraged instruments and we are still caught in the middle of bailout talks.


Question - if you are drowning, does it make sense to throw more water on you? If not, then why is the only solution to our debt problem, more debt? This picture sums it up. What the U.S. proposes is to increase spending and hope the economy grows. The current solution looks like this - you make $43,000 per year and have $78,000 in credit card debt thus the logical answer is to open another credit card to pay for the credit card debt. We are borrowing money from China so we can fight in Afghanistan and Libya. - Unbelievable!!!


I hope you have found this short summary useful. The key to any new idea is to work it into your daily routine until it becomes habit. Habits form in as little as 21 days. One thing you can take away from this book is to get educated. A lot of people are going to be hurt by this debt problem and I hope you are not one of them.
