Download or read book The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning written by Margareta Magnusson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *The basis for the wonderfully funny and moving TV series developed by Amy Poehler and Scout Productions* A charming, practical, and unsentimental approach to putting a home in order while reflecting on the tiny joys that make up a long life. In Sweden there is a kind of decluttering called döstädning, dö meaning “death” and städning meaning “cleaning.” This surprising and invigorating process of clearing out unnecessary belongings can be undertaken at any age or life stage but should be done sooner than later, before others have to do it for you. In The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, artist Margareta Magnusson, with Scandinavian humor and wisdom, instructs readers to embrace minimalism. Her radical and joyous method for putting things in order helps families broach sensitive conversations, and makes the process uplifting rather than overwhelming. Margareta suggests which possessions you can easily get rid of (unworn clothes, unwanted presents, more plates than you’d ever use) and which you might want to keep (photographs, love letters, a few of your children’s art projects). Digging into her late husband’s tool shed, and her own secret drawer of vices, Margareta introduces an element of fun to a potentially daunting task. Along the way readers get a glimpse into her life in Sweden, and also become more comfortable with the idea of letting go.

Download or read book Death and Dying Everyone Is Doing It written by Richard A. Jordan and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-09-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Loved one just passed away. Who do I call? What do I do? You need to help and prepare before you leave. You need to make lists and tell people what assets you do have and just as important, what assets you do not have to help guide those you leave behind. No one wants to talk about death so there are many unanswered questions that may cost you thousands of dollars. You do not have to read the whole book straight through. It was written to help you prepare for the transfer of everything you own and everything you owe. Can you just leave everything for someone else? Yes, but you should help them. Even a simple note listing your assets and their locations can save those coming to tidy up a great deal of time and effort. And there is so much more that is easy to do and needs to be done. Use the check lists in the book. What do I do? How do I do it? Who pays for things? Can state or local government force me to pay for someone's funeral? What if I do not want to be the executor? Can I be sued if I just make my best effort? I just found something valuable left by the deceased; now what? Does Medicaid have a claim on the estate? Medicare? Veterans and their families? Are there Free Funerals? This book was written to both Preplan a Funeral and organize an Estate for disposition. It is also used to help right now if someone just passed. (Tidy Up). We took the time to repeat some information so you would not have to search for it. You have enough on your mind right now. There is a Time Line that explains the general order in which things happen when someone dies and what you can do to prepare. Next there is more detailed information covering key points that are quick and easy to understand. After the Appendix there is a Glossary of Terms and Definitions that quickly explain things to be aware of and watch out for. Is the estate insolvent (broke)? Check through the assets section and you may be reminded of assets to look for that are worth more than enough to cover expenses. Did the loved one pass on without a Will? What happens now? Is the home "underwater" or is there a reverse mortgage? What do you do? It is not until you sit down and take a good hard look at everything that must be done just to clean up after us that you realize how much work it can be. We have an obligation to make this as easy as we can for those who remain behind. Someone must come behind us and tidy up. We need to help them. When a loved one passes you will have very little time to properly do all of the things that will have a lasting impact on so many friends and family members. Everyone needs to think about this today. Use this book as a tool to Preplan someone's passing. Many very simple things need to be done that can make the situation so much easier. It is not difficult for you once you understand what is going to happen and the order in which it happens. Who pays for the funeral? They had no money. They had no real assets and their home is "underwater". "Our parents have both been in poor health for such a long time now and no one wanted to discuss their passing. We used your book to begin talking and actually made their passing a lot easier for them. They were both comforted that they would not be a burden." "The first thing service providers wanted was for us to sign everything and just "trust" them. Thanks to your book we knew what to watch out for. We saved thousands of dollars. Thank you." Can the government force me to pay for someone's funeral? Yes, sometimes. And it happens more and more every day. Who is responsible for all of their debt? We want to have a home funeral. Can we do this? We answer these questions and many more that you may not think to ask. We help in locating assets. We give you a general idea of what things will cost and how long it may take. It is our sincerest desire that this book helps make your life easier in this time of need.

Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling authors of Sprint comes “a unique and engaging read about a proven habit framework [that] readers can apply to each day” (Insider, Best Books to Form New Habits). “If you want to achieve more (without going nuts), read this book.”—Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit Nobody ever looked at an empty calendar and said, "The best way to spend this time is by cramming it full of meetings!" or got to work in the morning and thought, Today I'll spend hours on Facebook! Yet that's exactly what we do. Why? In a world where information refreshes endlessly and the workday feels like a race to react to other people's priorities faster, frazzled and distracted has become our default position. But what if the exhaustion of constant busyness wasn't mandatory? What if you could step off the hamster wheel and start taking control of your time and attention? That's what this book is about. As creators of Google Ventures' renowned "design sprint," Jake and John have helped hundreds of teams solve important problems by changing how they work. Building on the success of these sprints and their experience designing ubiquitous tech products from Gmail to YouTube, they spent years experimenting with their own habits and routines, looking for ways to help people optimize their energy, focus, and time. Now they've packaged the most effective tactics into a four-step daily framework that anyone can use to systematically design their days. Make Time is not a one-size-fits-all formula. Instead, it offers a customizable menu of bite-size tips and strategies that can be tailored to individual habits and lifestyles. Make Time isn't about productivity, or checking off more to-dos. Nor does it propose unrealistic solutions like throwing out your smartphone or swearing off social media. Making time isn't about radically overhauling your lifestyle; it's about making small shifts in your environment to liberate yourself from constant busyness and distraction. A must-read for anyone who has ever thought, If only there were more hours in the day..., Make Time will help you stop passively reacting to the demands of the modern world and start intentionally making time for the things that matter.
