Well, winter — it's been fun knowin' ya. Bring on the warmer temps, longer days and flowy sundresses! Oh, right, and that polarizing phenomenon known as spring cleaning. Some of us view the prospect of giving our homes a refresh as an exciting way to usher in a new season; for others, it's a groan-inducing ordeal. If you fall into the latter camp, here's something that might help you warm up to the cleaning process: deals! More specifically, early deals from Amazon's Big Spring Sale.

The savings event technically kicks off on Tuesday, March 25, but I'm already seeing deep discounts on everything from vacuums that'll make your life easier to handy gadgets, organizers and household cleaners that really work.
Speaking of work — want to do as little of it as possible? (Don't we all?) An iRobot Roomba vacuum and mop is here to clean your floors for just $160 (an all-time low). And this Yahoo editor-approved extendable electric scrubber will make elbow grease practically obsolete — it's down to $30 (from $50). Been dyin' to try a Dyson? This sleek stick vac's a rare 30% off. Now that's what I call cleaning up.

The 2025 MacBook Air Hits Its Lowest Price Ever, Amazon Is Pulling Out All the Stops on Apple
Apple doesn't typically offer huge discounts on its latest products, and fans have a challenge getting real deals. While Black Friday and Prime Day are being hyped as the best times to buy, biggest discounts can come out of nowhere – especially on online retailers like Amazon. Now, the brand new 2025 MacBook Air 13-inch with the M4 chip and 256GB storage is available at an all-time low price of just $849, which is a 15% discount from the list price of $999. This is a one-time opportunity, considering that the laptop was launched only in March and is already flying off the shelves in most regions. See at Amazon Your Favorite Laptop in 2025 The 2025 MacBook Air is powered by the newest Apple M4 chip, which features a 10-core CPU (with 4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores) and a high-speed GPU, for effortless multitasking, fast app launching and smooth graphics for everything. The 16GB of unified memory ensures even demanding tasks remain responsive, and the 256GB SSD provides fast storage for your most important files and projects. Apple's latest laptop is also made for Apple Intelligence, which is a personal intelligence service that helps the user write, communicate, and get things done very easily. Featuring advanced privacy protection, Apple Intelligence keeps your information secure and does not even let Apple access it. This level of privacy is a big advantage if you like to maintain confidentiality and have peace of mind. Another selling point is the battery life – with up to 18 hours on one charge. What's more, the 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display is a visual treat with 1 billion colors, deep contrast, precise detail, and sharp text. The MacBook Air also sets the pace in connectivity and convenience: It features two Thunderbolt 4 ports for quick data transfer and external display support, a MagSafe charging port for quick and safe charging, a headphone jack, Wi-Fi 6E for ultra-speedy wireless connectivity, and Bluetooth 5.3. The laptop supports up to two external displays (it doesn't have to be Apple own monitors) which makes it a great choice for home and office productivity environments. Don't hesitate: these sales tend to sell out quickly. See at Amazon

Amazon CEO: People in their 20s tend to make this mistake—I was 'lucky' to avoid it
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has spent the past 28 years helping turn the e-commerce giant into one of the biggest companies on earth. But the 57-year-old executive didn't start his career with aspirations of being a high-powered CEO. In a May 15 podcast appearance on "How Leaders Lead with David Novak," Jassy said he too often sees young people who think they should be entering the professional world knowing what they want to do with the rest of their lives. "I have a 21-year-old son and a 24-year-old daughter, and one of the things I see with them and their peers is they all feel like they have to know what they want to do with their life at that age," he said. "And I really don't believe that's true." Before Jassy landed at Amazon in 1997 at age 29, he tried his hand at sportscasting, sports production, product management and entrepreneurship, he said. On top of that, he spent time working at a retail golf store, coaching his high school soccer team and investment banking. Even though many of those jobs didn't work out as he might've hoped, the experiences helped him understand the type of career that he wanted — and didn't want — to have, he said. "I think early on it's just as important to learn what you don't want to do as what you want to do because it actually helps you figure out what you want to do," said Jassy. "I do feel like one of the lucky parts for me was that I tried lots of things and was able to sort for myself what appealed to me and what didn't."Jassy credited his eventual success to his willingness to find out what he was good at and what he liked, rather than doggedly following a strong vision of what he wanted to do: "I think your attitude is an embarrassing amount of your success or lack thereof." Being reliable, trustworthy, hard-working and a good learner are more important than being good at every single thing you try, Jassy added. "I feel like those are things that you can control. It's actually amazing to me how often people don't. I worked hard at those things over time," he said. The Amazon CEO isn't alone in preaching dependability: Being a reliable and hard worker is the No. 1 way to build a strong reputation in the workplace, author and former Google executive Maha Abouelenein told CNBC Make It on Oct. 9. Having a consistent level of effort and doing your best to anticipate the needs of those around you will get you recognized, no matter where your career takes you, said Abouelenein. "Reputation is like a currency," she said. "It's the only thing you own, and I want you to invest in it ... Without your [personal brand], you can't do anything."
