SIMPLIFY ME! My husband will be working on cleaning out/organizing the garage so we can have some efficient storage space and some room for a small gym area [stationary bike, etc]
Sue says
SIMPLIFY ME!
I’m committed to getting a handle on all the paper in my home office. My fiance calls my leather chair in the corner “the world’s largest in-box,” so it’s beyond time to do this! Happy New Year!!
Angela E says
SIMPLIFY ME!
Having 2 small kids things don’t also get organized. I would like to get my entire house organized where everything has a place.
Sarah says
SIMPLIFY ME!
my parents are moving in about 2 months and I have 2 decades worth of STUFF still piled up in my old bedroom at their house. I will be going through it all, I imagine purging most of it since I’ve lived for almost 7 years without it. I’m sure I’ll be recovering a box or two of things I just don’t want to part with, but man, some majot simplifying will be going on :)
Laura says
“SIMPLIFY ME!” I’ve found that since having a baby while still working full-time, I have much less time (practically zero) to prepare any dinners, much less ones that use whole foods rather than overly processed. So I’m looking to take advantage of make-ahead meals and meals with leftovers that can be reborn as a second different meal!
Sherrie says
SIMPLIFY ME! — I’m always looking for ways to contain the clutter. Of course, I don’t look in my teen aged daughters’ rooms too much.
Allison Muhlbauer says
Simplify Me! I would love to get my house more organized and functional. I feel like I am constantly running around after my two kids trying to keep their toys organized!
shar says
SIMPLYFY ME!
I am going for the “get rid of 1 thing a day” process. Too much stuff in my house and I will either toss, give or repurpose a lot of it. Hopefully, by the end of the year, I will at least have 365 things less!
Destiny says
SIMPLIFY ME! I would love to simplify my cleaning routine and organize my garage.
Ashley McCormick says
SIMPLIFY ME! My goals for 2011 are to declutter my house. There is soooo much stuff that I have that I never use! So I need to purge and learn how to organize better. Oh how I hope I win!
Sarah says
Simplify Me!
I’ve got a few cluttered closets and an attic I’d love to organize!
Dawn Levasseur says
SIMPLIFY ME! My husband just accepted a job where he will be working from home. I just set up an office in our living room as a sort of “command central” for whatever falls under the category of running a household. We also have a desk in our family room for the kids to be chaperoned while they are on line and for doing homework. I could really use some organization tips to start setting up our guest room into a “legal, tax deductible work space.
Allie says
SIMPLIFY ME!
My current mission is the dreaded kitchen. I have too much of everything (stuff handed down from my mom, stuff from my wedding, stuff I’ve purchased for myself over the years…) and it makes my not-so-large kitchen feel even more cramped.
Erin says
SIMPLIFY ME!
We’ve been living with two roommates (a younger cousin and a younger college student) for over a year now. We never had time before each of them moved it to really go through all the stuff that was previously in their rooms (past guest bedroom and game room). We plan on simplifying by losing one roomate and going through A TON of STUFF over the next few months because we just find out we are expecting!
Anna says
SIMPLY ME! I need my whole life organized!
Kristi says
SIMPLIFY ME!
I live in a studio apartment in Chicago and I am dire need of some organization tips! In 2011, I want to my make place feel more like a home and less like a temporary rental.
Bridget says
SIMPLIFY ME! I’d like to streamline and organize all my projects so I can complete a number of them instead of starting a bunch and not finishing any of them.
Laura Leo says
SIMPLIFY ME! How do we collect so much stuff??? 2011 is going to be the year to declutter, organize and simplify my life! I am going to try to make some goals on a month by month basis. And finally have that garage sale my husband and I have been talking about. (c:
Kate Ediger says
Simplify Me! I need help organizing my bookkeeping for our business. I work a full time job and sadly our business oganization falls to the wayside after work. Thank goodness the real work is what my husband does or we’d be in trouble! Plus on top of that we have torn apart our house for our new floors (stained cement – love) but putting it all back together and painting everything is not happening as fast as I would like. I need to get organized so I have time to do it all!!
Ashley @ sunnysideshlee.com says
Simplify me!!
I’m looking to simplify my life, my bills and to knock out all of my goals for 2011!
leah says
Simplify me!!!
I am looking forward to organizing and decluttering even more in the new year. I did one big round of organization in the fall, but the holidays have taken me away from movin forward. After the new year, I want to hit all of the closets, build some awesome wood built ins, paint my panty and do some basic organization in there too!
Lexi says
SIMPLIFY ME…. I would use this for the how to create a life you love workshop. Having been underemployed for the past 2 years I’m ready to move on!
Emily Hege says
*SIMPLIFY ME!!* This year coming up my husband and I will both be full time students (him with a full time job and volunteer coaching, and me with lots of volunteering and making art) living in a 1000 sq foot home with 2 big dogs and a bird. Two of our goals for this year are 1) to save more money and set up our finances for the next three years to save for future children,grad school,creating a nest egg, and saving for a new car (since we don’t buy anything on credit) and 2) Organize our 2 bedroom/1 bath/ into simple spaces for our work, my art-making,entertaining, and living. My husband is in the military and we will move a lot so we want to get rid of more stuff (we already give 1 bag of stuff away per week) and learn to live(and be happy) with fewer things. I would love to learn to simplify our hectic and crazy but wonderful life together :).
Angie says
simplify me!!
Im going to try and clean out one drawer/cabinet/shelf per week during the new year!
Joni says
“SIMPLIFY ME! My goal for 2011 in simplifying is to organize the house in such a way that items are easy to find and use. I would like things to have that picked up feel and look in the house.
Lorena says
SIMPLIFY ME!
My husband and I got married, and moved into our first home together a year ago. We’ve had a really difficult time getting organized – especially in our office and basement. We don’t know how to create proper systems that will actually work. We would looooove some help! :-)

Larissa Shvedas says
SIMPLIFY ME!

Michelle R. says
“SIMPLIFY ME!!!”
I would LOVE to clean out our extra bedroom/office!! We sold a bunch of furniture in there that we didn’t use in hopes that we would clean it out and make it look a lot better – well, now it’s just a junk room that we throw everything extra in!!!
Tara says
Simplify Me! I already get the emails (love them) and would love to win a workshop.
I have 14-month old twins so baby (toddler!) organization is key. So many toys and gear and old outgrown clothes. *sniff* They deserve a home where they can roam freely without stuff getting in their way or causing them harm.
Mally says
SIMPLIFY ME!
We just moved into a smaller space and it is really hard to keep it from feeling cluttered. We have gotten rid of so many things we didn’t absolutely need or love, but now my problem is organizing paperwork. There is tons and we don’t have any room! Trying to figure out a way to work with what I have….
Madelaine Shultz says
SIMPLIFY ME!!
So the plan is for me to really pare down in the office/craft room with a total room makeover as the reward, my husband to finally sort through his remaining boxes in the basement and for us to organize a neighborhood yard sale. All before spring has sprung! Wish us luck!
Ruth says
Simplify Me!
I would love to find a more efficient and prettier way to organize office supplies. You certainly need scissors, pens, three hole punch, and a box of paperclips laying around, but how do you keep your desk drawers from looking like junk drawers?
greenbean says
simplify me!
i need to clean up my bills and important paper work in a way that i can stay up to date on everything.
Christina says
SIMPLIFY ME!
I need to clean out my bedroom at my parents’ house.

Simplify Me! I NEED to clean off and organize our desk/office area. It is such a wreck of bills, things to shred, papers, and anything we don’t want our dogs to put in their mouths!
Mary Samp says
“SIMPLIFY ME” and show me how to have fun while doing it.
I am fast becoming an empty nester and can no longer blame the mess on my children. It is time to get my own act together.
Rena says
Simplify Me! I’m trying to organize all the “treasures” I brought home from my mom’s house in with my own treasures.
Emily says
SIMPLIFY ME!
and my office. After finally getting my business up and running my office has turned into a disaster zone. Time to clean it up so I can create instead of searching for supplies.
Tara says
SIMPLIFY ME, PLEASE!
We moved into our first house on October 1st, and then welcomed our first children (yes, plural– twins!) on November 1st. So, needless to say, my office area which is supposed to be the central area for bill paying, computer usage, correspondance, etc, is in complete disarray. In 2011 my goal is to get everything set up and easy to use! Help!
Patty-O says
Simplify Me! Help!
Laura says
SIMPLIFY ME!
My husband and I recently relocated from New York to Virginia (sound familiar?) and need to readjust, reorganize, and plant some roots.
Thanks!
sarah says
SIMPLIFY ME!… in 2011 my goal is to actually organize my boyfriend’s clothes (they may or may not still be in cardboard boxes even though we have moved into this apartment over 6 months ago.)
JenO says
SIMPLIFY ME!!
I am focusing on organizing my office to start a new business in 2011. YAY!!

SIMPLIFY ME! I would LOVE to organize our kitchen and my husband’s office. I hate clutter and organize our home in 2011. Thank you!
Tara says
SIMPLIFY ME!
We are a family of 6 (4 kids aged 5 and under) living in 1100 square feet. My goals lately have been to organize and purge excess and despite the countless van loads to Goodwill, I still feel rather claustrophobic from the clutter. I have 4 books from the library about how to simplify my life and space on my night stand, but I feel too overwhelmed to find the time to read them! I’d love for someone to just tell me!
