We all have a junk drawer (or maybe a junk closet or two) in our homes somewhere. No matter how ardently we fight against it, clutter always seems to have a foothold in our lives, including in our minds. Clutter, in the form of negative thoughts and anxiety, can debilitate us and overwhelm us. As much as we’d like to keep it all bottled up inside, it usually spills into our work, interactions, and relationships. Luckily, this is a common struggle, and people with cluttered minds can rejoice at S.J. Scott and Barrie Davenport’s book “Declutter Your Mind.” “Declutter Your Mind” shares with readers a series of mindfulness techniques that help bring inner peace and calm where there was once anxiety and commotion. Scott and Davenport do this by sharing with readers the causes of mental clutter, strategies for improving relationships that bring anxiety, advice for identifying what’s important to you (and what isn’t), and the benefits of meditation. Though the world can be a crazy place, full of stressors and always moving along at a breakneck pace, even the most anxious of people can find calm amidst the storm with the right techniques. So, if you’re looking to empty the junk drawers and closets in your brain, it’s time to break out a copy of “Declutter Your Mind.” Dispel Anxiety and Negative Thoughts with ‘Declutter Your Mind’ EMPTYING THE JUNK DRAWERS IN YOUR MIND In the past few years, movie projectors have flooded Amazon and brick and mortar stores alike, but this year, one model stands out against the rest: the BenQ HT2050A. While some cheaper projectors might not give you the crisp picture that you’re used to seeing on the TV screen, and while more expensive projectors cost an arm and a leg, the BenQ HT2050A is the perfect combination of quality and affordability. Though its specs may not be quite up to snuff when compared to something like the Epson Home Cinema 5050UB (which retails for $3,000), that will really only matter to the pickiest of movie watchers. The BenQ HT2050A retails for around $750, and with that price, your dollar goes a long way. Some of the specs on this projector include 1080p resolution, 2,200 lumens for a bright picture, as well as lens shift features that make it compatible with a multitude of different settings. Plus, the projector’s sleek aesthetic means it will go along with the decor in any room of the house. There’s no better way to end a summer day than with an outdoor movie, and there’s no better projector to show that movie on than the BenQ HT2050A. DELIVERING A MOVIE THEATER QUALITY EXPERIENCE At a Fraction of the Price
It’s strange to think that before the pandemic homeowners were very apprehensive about renovating certain parts of their house, including their bathrooms. Contractors wouldn’t work on many small projects, considering how picky some customers could be and how small the profit margins on those projects already were. That was the problem that Made Renovation aimed to solve when it launched in 2019. Roger Dickey, co-founder and CEO of Made Renovation, wanted to create a way for the bathroom renovations process to be much more efficient and transparent. Homeowners can visit their website to schedule a call and get an estimate on the renovations. Then, they can speak with a consultant virtually to learn more about the project. Finally, homeowners can see a 3D rendering of their final design, before Made Renovation takes care of buying the materials, reaching out to contractors, and getting the construction process started. While Made Renovation may have found its niche in making the renovation process a little easier for homeowners, they needn’t have worried that they wouldn’t have customers. When the pandemic began in the year following their founding, people everywhere (with spare income and a burning desire to make their homes more comfortable) selected Made Renovation as their go-to service for remodeling their bathrooms. In just two years, Made Renovation has grown exponentially. They currently sell over $50,000 worth of bathroom renovation projects per day, and they’ve grown to 50 employees. Early last year, they had earned $9 million. Headquartered in San Francisco, the company now operates in Los Angeles and Seattle as well. The combination of removing the complexity of the renovations process and unknowingly entering a market where people would suddenly be much more willing to renovate their bathrooms has led Made Renovation to success. But if they keep renovating their own systems and processes as time goes on, chances are that growth will continue well into the future.
