How to Organize and Declutter Everything-- Your Home, Mind & Life by Samantha Claire Pdf

"ORGANIZED AND A CLUTTER-FREE LIFE WITHIN A WEEK --- OR YOUR MONEY BACK" Do you find yourself jumping over a pile of clothes in your home? Do you look back and wonder where the hours in your day disappeared to? Worry not, nobody is born organized and organization is not inherited either. It is a skill that is learned and though daunting at first, once you know what to do, the process becomes much more straightforward. This book offers you the help you need to get organized in a simple manner with step by step guides that even the absolute beginner can understand. Before you dive into your closet and start tidying up, the thing you need to do first is understanding the organizing principles. All of us are different, and no two people can organize a space the same way. These principles will guide you as you organize without taking away your creativity and uniqueness and can be applied to any area that needs to be organized. The next thing you need is to get the right mindset. Organizing is not just about putting things away, it is a combination of actions where things are placed where they belong. It is as simple as that yet most people struggle with it. The issue then is not the inability to get organized but a mental problem. Acquiring the right mindset gives 90 percent success. This mindset, however, is dependent on having the right organizing technique. This book focuses on transforming your mindset to give you success in getting organized. Here's a preview of what you'll learn: PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIZING MANAGING YOUR TIME BASIC GUIDELINES Accept what you can’t change Be effective and efficient as well ORGANIZING YOUR MONTH ORGANIZING THE WEEK ORGANIZING YOUR DAY UNDERSTANDING TIME WASTING THE TIME WASTERS TOP TEN APPS TO KEEP YOU ORGANIZED ORGANIZING YOUR HOME THE KITCHEN ARRANGING THE DIFFERENT AREAS Cabinets The counter Refrigerator Pantry THINGS TO NOTE LIVING ROOM Creating order in the living room The hallway Dining room ORGANIZING THE BEDROOM THE MASTER BEDROOM Organizing the room Get rid of unnecessary items Night stand Bed Dressing table THE CLOSET KIDS’ BEDROOM THE BATHROOM Getting started The sink Shower and bath GET ORGANIZED ON THE MOVE ORGANIZING SMALL SPACES TO MAXIMIZE ROOM Declutter and start getting organized today!

The Introvert Power Advantage by Samantha Claire Pdf

"HOW TO THRIVE AND WIN AS AN INTROVERT, IN THE WORLD OF EXTROVERTS!" The stereotypes on intro/extroversion have been going on for many years, yet we do not take the effort to correct any of them. Introversion, in particular, is one of the most frequently misinterpreted personality traits. Many issues originate from the lack of distinction between introversion and being shy-- the former is much more detailed as the introvert himself is just more concentrated in his own world, yet it does not mean he can not interact with others if he needs to. This book was created with high hopes of shedding light on the misconceptions that often discourage the introverts. Some of these individuals are fed up in being forced to alter their ways. People have no idea that introverts can be the most independent types of people you will ever meet. Because they choose the serenity of being on their own, they have the tendency to be more self-dependent and devoted. They are visionaries-- they take their time evaluating things and go through the details with an excellent focus and accuracy. In this book, we aim to reveal to you why we should accept and thrive as introverts! In this book, you will learn: Introduction Our Motto: "You're Okay But Only In Tiny Doses." How Does Introversion Influence Character? Being Around People Drains Energy Introvert Traits Benefits Of Introversion Stops And Smell The Roses. Life Teems With Little Surprises. Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone-- But Stay In Your Sanity Zone Small Talk As A Part Of Life Introverted Brains Maintain Equilibrium Introverts And Energy Develop Goals Relationships With Special Outgoing Personalities Characteristics Of Extroverts Friendships Keep Them Healthy And Balanced Benefits Of Introversion The Pretend Extrovert Skills Surviving In An Extrovert's World The Introvert As A Leader Beef Up Your Emotional Intelligence The Art Of Focused Conversation Confident Public Speaking Grabbing Your Audience The Art Of Persuasion Going From Introvert To Extrovert Introvert To Extrovert Exercise Finding The Right Career For An Introvert Being Happy As An Introvert Reframe Your Thoughts Taking Control Of Stress Change The Stressful Situation Accept Things That Are Unchangeable What People Think Of You Is None Of Your Business And Much, Much More...

Overcoming Dyslexia in Children, Adolescent, and Adults by Dale R. Jordan Pdf

Jordan's book is a valuable tool for those who work with and educate individuals with dyslexia. Now in its third edition, Overcoming Dyslexia in Children, Adolescents, and Adults tells the story of dyslexia in a positive, hopeful way. Overcoming Dyslexia leads the reader through simple, clear descriptions of the learning and social patterns of students who are dyslexic. The book summarizes in easy-to-understand language what science knows today about the causes of the different forms of dyslexia. All forms of dyslexia are described in detail. Illustrations of how dyslexia impacts classroom learning, social behavior, emotional maturity, job performance, and personal development are also provided. Chapter 1 summarizes remarkable new information about how genetic codes determine brain development and how differences in brain structure cause dyslexia. Chapter 2 explains the perceptual and emotional nature of dyslexia. Chapter 3 describes the problems of poor central vision for reading and attention deficit disorders that often exist beneath the surface of dyslexia. Chapters 4 through 6 describe the four most common subtypes of this learning difference: visual dyslexia, auditory dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia. Chapter 7 describes the emotions, feelings, and moods that trip up struggling learners with failure and low self-confidence. Chapter 8 tells about the nonverbal learning disabilities and social-emotional learning disabilities that often accompany dyslexia. Chapter 8 also presents strategies for developing effective social skills and learning to live independently. Chapter 9 tells dynamic victory stories of how eight prominent adults overcame dyslexic challenges in their lives. Finally, the appendices provide assessment techniques to help teachers and parents identify types of dyslexia, attention deficits, and other kinds of differences that make classroom learning and social success difficult for 20% of our population.

The Dyslexia Empowerment Plan by Ben Foss Pdf

Finally, a groundbreaking book that reveals what your dyslexic child is experiencing—and what you can do so that he or she will thrive More than thirty million people in the United States are dyslexic—a brain-based genetic trait, often labeled as a “learning disability” or “learning difference,” that makes interpreting text and reading difficult. Yet even though children with dyslexia may have trouble reading, they don’t have any problems learning; dyslexia has nothing to do with a lack of intellect. While other books tell you what dyslexia is, this book tells you what to do. Dyslexics’ innate skills, which may include verbal, social, spatial, kinesthetic, visual, mathematical, or musical abilities, are their unique key to acquiring knowledge. Figuring out where their individual strengths lie, and then harnessing these skills, offers an entrée into learning and excelling. And by keeping the focus on learning, not on standard reading the same way everyone else does, a child with dyslexia can and will develop the self-confidence to flourish in the classroom and beyond. After years of battling with a school system that did not understand his dyslexia and the shame that accompanied it, renowned activist and entrepreneur Ben Foss is not only open about his dyslexia, he is proud of it. In The Dyslexia Empowerment Plan he shares his personal triumphs and failures so that you can learn from his experiences, and provides a three-step approach for success: • Identify your child’s profile: By mapping your child’s strengths and weaknesses and assisting her to better understand who she is, you can help your child move away from shame and feelings of inadequacy and move toward creating a powerful program for learning. • Help your child help himself: Coach your child to become his own best advocate by developing resiliency, confidence, and self-awareness, and focusing on achievable goals in areas that matter most to him. • Create community: Dyslexic children are not broken, but too often the system designed to educate them is. Dare to change your school so that your child has the resources to thrive. Understanding your rights and finding allies will make you and your child feel connected and no longer alone. Packed with practical ideas and strategies dyslexic children need for excelling in school and in life, this empowering guide provides the framework for charting a future for your child that is bright with hope and unlimited potential. Praise for The Dyslexia Empowerment Plan “A passionate and well-articulated guide . . . This extremely practical and motivational book will be welcomed by parents of dyslexic children.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Accessible and reassuring.”—Library Journal “This step-by-step guide will become a go-to resource for parents.”—James H. Wendorf, executive director, National Center for Learning Disabilities “I study dyslexia in the lab and am a parent of a wonderful daughter who fits this profile. Ben Foss’s book should be considered essential to any collection on the subject. It was extremely useful, especially for a mom.”—Maria Luisa Gorno Tempini, M.D., Ph.D., professor of neurology, UCSF, Memory and Aging Center “As someone with a learning profile that made school tough, and as a parent, I know kids need the right support. Ben Foss knows how to get access to education because he’s been through it. I was thrilled to read this book. It offers a wise collection of insights that are both practical and touching.”—James Gandolfini, actor, The Sopranos
