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.

    SIMPLIFY ME! There is not enough space (nor do I have enough time) to share all the ridiculous projects I want to get done in 2011…suffice it to say that with three kids, a husband, and a bevy of pets (think zoo) and not nearly enough time spent working on my house in the past, a few classes would be a great place for me to start.

    My plan is perseverance! I’m going to try really hard to work just 15 minutes per day, no matter how crazy my day, and just keep at it – this little drawer,that little corner…one day at a time, one room at a time. Just imagine months of that! Mountains can be moved!

    I can’t seem to figure out how to handle a f/t out of the house job and 2 children (one who is 18 months old and very clingy). My life is disorganized and a disaster and is organized by “gift bags” throughout the house with things that need to be organized and sifted through. In all honesty, I think everything just needs to find a home (we moved a year ago) and I need to find a way to find the time to figure out everything’s home.

    After moving into our first house this past June, I’m looking forward to finally turning our guest bedroom into a walk-in closet. It will definitely simplify our lives by eliminating our daily search for clothes in multiple closets throughout our little 1950’s home :)

    SIMPLIFY ME! I moved to New York City into a 1 bedroom appartment (sight unseen) with the contents of a 3 bedroom house in tow, which I promptly stored. I intended to stay only 2 years. 11 years, 1 hubby and a smaller 1 bedroom later, a ton of stuff (furniture, clothes, household items) is still in storage. I need to get rid of this stuff!!

    Simplify Me! (…please)

    This is on my hot resolutions for ’11. In addition to decluttering the stuff I’ve inherited or held onto for years (and donating anything still usable), I want to organize and redesign my 950 sq foot condo so that there are less feet on the ground.

    Meaning I want more items attached to my walls, rather than sitting on my floors. i.e. I have a suspended closet system I’m installing right now. I think this contributes to a less cluttered look and makes it easier to clean.
