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.

    Ugh I need to get rid of my clutter so bad. I try and it stays good for a while, and then it starts looking like a tornado came through. Not to mention I’m really bad about keeping a cleaning schedule…
    One of my resolutions for 2011 is to keep the house nice, clean and clutter free.

    I have so many organization goals this year – the most important of which involve keeping to a regular cleaning and de-cluttering routine. These workshops would be incredibly helpful! :-)

    My next project is to organize my desk and our office area. A few days ago we removed the doors that closed that area off. It really opened up the space and it looks great. Only problem is that now the clutter is on full display!

    Please! I wanted to take at least two of those classes but cannot afford them. I could use the extra push/motivation as I have become dormant this year and have so many things to do to simplify my life, my home and I seriously need to learn better time management! I want to get rid of the stress that comes from a cluttered life.

    SIMPLIFY ME! I’d like to live by the in and out rule more diligently. For everything I bring in the house, I have to get rid of something else. For example, a new kitchen gadget is swapped for one I don’t use. A new shirt is replaced with a shirt that I donate to a non-profit. Hoping this will help when it comes time to sell our house and pack everything up. Plus, my husband and I are getting ready to expand our family, so we need to make room!

    I’m hoping to buy a house in early 2011, so I’ll need all the help I can get to organize my new space! When I sold my last house during the summer it was horrible to go through all of the junk and clutter that had built up over the years. I told myself, “Never again!” so I want to make sure I don’t make the same mistakes in my next house and let clutter/junk/papers/misc items take over again!
