I have more than 300 fr.ee gifts for you today.
These are brought to you courtesy of a pair of two amazing marketers who are running a massive "mind and body" self improvement giveaway right now:
The Self Help Gifts Giveaway event is definitely one of the better giveaways that I have seen recently, and I think you will really enjoy what they have to offer.
I have checked the site for quality and it is a thumbs up from me. Self esteem expert Dr. Joe Rubino and fitness professional Carolyn Hansen have teamed up to produce a smorgasbord of self help gifts for you to choose from.
So what will you find once you get across to the event?
I saw downloadable ebooks, memberships, videos and audios, software, and e-courses.
These were on topics as diverse as parenting, relationships, health and fitness, stress management (always a good one!), working from home, business management, confidence building, and quite a few other self help categories.
The gifts cost nothing simply because events of this type are run with the aim of introducing you to a host of vendors of self improvement products who you would otherwise probably never get to come in contact with.
Here are some of my favorites, glanced while checking out the site (some perhaps tongue in cheek, I don't know yet, but they had me intrigued):

Got to at least love the title of this one!
Says Jim Donovan: "Published in multiple languages in more than 20 countries this book has been read by hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world, ordinary people, like you and me, who simply want a better and more satisfying life."
====================================
Really, this event has something for everyone.
So create a new folder on your hard drive and get ready to start filling it with gifts that speak to you as you move through the pages of the giveaway.
Remember, there are hundreds of gifts to check out, and they are all 100 percent f.ree. But the event will only be running for a few days so you will want to visit it before they close their doors.

Have fun!

Knowing how to correctly use "who" and "whom" may seem a little out-dated and persnickety, reminiscent of grammar lessons by strict English teachers, but the correct usage remains important when writing in a formal manner. Awareness of the distinction is essential in this respect otherwise you could risk sounding rather pompous, not to mention grammatically confused. So, what is the distinction between "who" and "whom" and how do we use them?
Both words are pronouns but the crucial distinction is that "who" is used as the subject in a sentence, whereas "whom" is the object. Here's an example:
Who paid for the newspaper? Who photocopied the report? Who likes ice-cream?
Here, "who" is the subject in each of the sentences. Now we'll see how "whom" is used when we need to refer to the object of a verb:
To whom does this bag belong? To whom it may concern. Whom do I love the most?
Okay, so we know about subjects and objects, but it can still be tricky to decipher the usage. One way to do this is to ask yourself if the answer to the question is "he" or "him". If you can answer with "he", you need to use "who" and if you can answer with "him", you need to use "whom". This is a straightforward way of remembering how to use "who" or "whom" correctly. Let's see some more examples:
Question: To (who or whom) did the award go?
Answer: It went to him.
Therefore, the correct pronoun for the question is "whom" - to whom did the award go?
Question: (Who or whom) went to the beach?
Answer: He went to the beach.
So, the correct pronoun here is "who" - who went to the beach?
Finally, here is a handy mnemonic to help you remember the distinction between an object and a subject. In the phrase "I love you", the "you" is the object of your love and the object of the sentence. The "I" is the subject. Therefore, it is correct to say "Whom do I love?" because the answer is "you" (whom), the object.

Is it time you took control of your paper?
Are you losing things?
Drowning in a sea of teetering stacks?
Dreading tax time?
Missing appointments?
Then don't put it off any longer. Start now with these 3 steps that will ensure success.
1. Visualise the rewards
Imagine for yourself
- the time you will save
- the feeling of wellbeing when we look at the tidy desk, shelves and cupboards
- No more lost documents
- The reassurance that accounts will be paid on time
- Always being in the right place for appointments and meetings
2. Choose a time. Avoid office hours if you can. It is an all-too-noticeable distraction from your work and you want neither an audience nor anyone else distracting you from your task.
3. You can choose to do the whole job at once or divide it into motivationally small tasks, but stay on track. Take the phone off the hook, do one thing at a time and say no to distractions no matter how urgent it may seem to water the garden, feed the dog or top up the pen supply. Remember that the more clutter there is, the faster the job will be. Visualise the rewards.
OK now you have the basics in place, you can create your success!
