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.

    In 2010, I made great strides in cleaning and decluttering. Now I need to organize! I’ve thrown out the grocery coupons from 2004. ;-) I need help organizing the papers as they’re coming in. And, I REALLY need help organizing my organization tools. Way too many storage crates, storage boxes, folders, baskets, etc. How do I find room to put all of this away and actually decorate?

    I read blogs and constantly wonder, “how do people get things done?” I currently don’t have the time and home management tools in place to support the life I want to live. I’ve also just added an extra challenge to the mix – baby #2 who arrived 6 weeks ago.

    My first New Year task will be to put some adjustable shelving in our kitchen pantry. We inherited super deep (read: who knows what’s at the back of those things), oddly spaced permanent shelving from the previous owners – a year and a half later, it has to go!

    Okay so we just swapped houses with my in-laws. My MIL is notorious for being frugal (read: cheap) and hasn’t thrown a single thing (no exaggeration) out in 40 years. That’s right – every lesson plan she ever created as a teacher, every tshirt she made with the once fabulous puffy-paint…. every book she’s EVER owned… rubber flippers for the pool purchased in 1976…. it’s all here. For us. To figure out what to do with.

    I need to get organized, but I’m so overwhelmed, I don’t know what to do!
