Fab Freebie: A Simplified New Year

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – scroll down for special discount and to see who won!***

If the words “simplify,” “organize,” “declutter” or “make more time for [blank]” will be showing up on your resolution list this year, boy do we have the giveaway for you. Simplify 101 provides all sorts of fun interactive tips and online workshops to help you achieve those goals, and this week a trio of you will win TWO free workshops.

Simpify 101 Giveaway

Our three winners can choose from any of the following workshops being held early next year: “Quick + Simple Clutter Control,” “How To Achieve Your Goals And Create A Life You Love,” “Organizing 101” and “It’s About Time: How To Have More Fun and Get More Done.” Oh and all of you can get a taste of Simplify 101’s helpful advice by downloading their free “How To Create A Command Central Binder” guide. We’ve also got a special discount ready to announce on Thursday, so check back for that in a few days. But enough chatter, here’s how to enter:

  • PRIZE: Your choice of any two Simplify 101 workshops being held in January or February.
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “SIMPLIFY ME!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … tell us how you’re looking to simplify, organize, declutter, or streamline your life in 2011. We’d love some great ideas for our own list of 2011 resolutions.
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, December 29th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Three!
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Worldwide!
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday morning for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

******************************

Before we announce our trio of winner, know that Simplify 101 is offering 15% off enrollment through January 3rd, 2011 with code SAVE15YHL at checkout. (Note: the “It’s About Time” workshop is currently offered at 20% Early Bird savings, so this 15% off can’t be combined with it)

On to our winners. The lucky three entrants that random.org chose are… Sarah Thimmes (who’s looking to organize her homeschool supplies and make more time for poetry writing), Kelsey R (who wants to really use her planner all year)and Tiffany (who just gave birth to baby girl on Christmas Eve. Wow!). Congrats!

Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just take them on to reward our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from Simplify 101.

    Every January, my husband and I lay out our goals for each area of our life (work, relationship, family, health, church, etc) and then determine what we can and should do to maintain balance in our lives. It’s actually really fun to talk about and it’s a great chance to make sure you’re both on the same page in terms of priorities.

    Simplify Me!. Oh yes that is definately the theme for the year. This year I’ll have the oportunity to completely reorganise my life, clearing out clutter, streamlining my stuff and packing a lot into storage as we will have to move out to allow our house to be demolished. This is because our area of Canterbury New Zealand suffered a major earthquake on the 4th September 2010 and many of us have had our houses damaged beyond repair. We are just very greatful that no one was killed, (lucky it was 0430 am most safe in bed). I realise I want to pare down to have less to move and less to worry about.

    “SIMPLIFY ME!”

    I have started decluttering last Christmas with Julia Morgenstern’s book “organizing from the inside out”. The book is amazing. Everything I didn’t learn at home is explained here guilt free and in plain simple language. We moved two weeks ago and my new home is nothing like the old. So easy to keep clean, so beautiful anduncluttered. Still, it’s a work in progress. I really need these workshops…

    SIMPLY ME! I plan to donate to Salvation Army at the end of the year (my deadline!) my unused “stuff” and feel “unfettered!” Stuff should not own me, but it usually creeps in unawares, and it needs to stop! :) Clutter truly clutters the brain! I want to live as simply as possible for 2011…”stuff” doesn’t make me happy (it’s actually the opposite)…
