    Simplify me please! I would like to manage my time better this year. I am a first year kindergarten teacher, in grad school, and would like to have time to have a social life as well. I need to get organized so I can manage all of these things.

    I’ve got a 4 month old, so I really need to get my stuff under control so when she starts crawling around she can do so safely and have plenty of room to roam the house.

    This year I am really trying to downsize. I am blessed to have more than I need and would love to pass on extras to those who can really use it. I read your blog everyday and have learned so much. This year I’m trying to buy/keep the things I absolutely love.

    All-around decluttering and minimizing the things in our house and in our lives that we don’t need…sounds amazing!

    Simplify me! Seriously, two thirds of my wardrobe is on my bedroom floor as we speak and has been for the past 2 weeks. See, I had such great intentions to sort through it all and donate anything in good condition that I no longer wear. Of course, I got distracted and only completed about 0.05% of it. My boyfriend is getting very sick of it. He asked me the other day if I’m going to start using the pile as a second bedside table.

    SIMPLIFY ME! Please!

    I intend to declutter and organize but never know where to start and get mired down in everything that needs done. I used to move every year and that helped but we’ve lived in the same house for 10 years now. I need to get under control!

    I’ve got a declutter plan in action… get rid of something (or two things, or three things) every day for an entire year. We’ll see how it goes!

    One of my resolutions for the new year is to be more efficient in our home office. Instead of waiting for a day to pay the bills, I will pay as i receive so nothing sits around and gets forgotten.

    I’m a pile maker, and I need to start putting stuff away and organizing things rather then stack things up!

    Thank you!!!

    I need a way to organize my paperwork, bills, etc. I don’t even know where to start though – it’s so overwhelming and my house is not only tiny, but under construction! Eep!

    I am creating a schedule of 1 hour a week clutter destroyer/everything has a place routine. With a hectic schedule and a tendancy of letting items move from were they should be to cluttering up where they shouldn’t be, I have resolved to spend at least 10 minutes a day (60-70 minutes a week) putting things back in the rightful places and not letting clutter accumulate!

    Living in a small house means that I am always looking for ways to simplify and de-clutter, especially after the holidays! The best way I have found is the in-out rule. If something new comes in, something old needs to go. But I still have clutter and we are currently re-designing our bedroom to try and create more storage space.

    I’m needing to create laid back, sleek wardrobe that isn’t cumbersome or taking up tons of space. Also, I need to corral my sons toys in a useful way.

    2011 will be a big year of simplification. The only thing I keep up with on a regular basis are our files. I file away all important papers weekly after they build up.

    This giveaway comes at a perfect time for me, as my next project is to tackle the unorganized storage closets in the office and guest bedroom.

    My big goal for 2011 is reducing stress. I think that having a cluttered environment and a jumbled list of pending projects causes me unease. A serene space = bliss!

    I’ve really been wanting to get rid of a lot of my belongings and not have so much junk in my life! I moved recently and it makes you realize how much stuff you have that you just never use!

    I am hoping to just have a more organized house in general. I have little nooks and crannies of clutter that are begging for attention.

    SIMPLIFY ME! I just found out that we are expecting our third child and it’s a motivator to say the least. I want to be organized so that it becomes a daily habit instead of a huge project every few months.

    Um, I’d like to streamline, organize and declutter a ton of things – in fact, there are so many I’m having trouble picking one…. guess I really do need Simplify 101!

    We are a military family always on the move. We have a fourteen month old and a “work in progress”. Organization is a must but when times are hectic, moving across the world while 8 months pregnant, without our household goods for three months, buying a house, buying cars, and changing jobs all at once, things get hairy and we can lose out big. I needs someone with some real skill to help me learn how to keep it all together, even in the most trying situations.

    Currently, use it or lose it is my motto and it keeps me sane.

    Thanks,
    Jen
