Simplify Me!
Dude. TOYS. Every Christmas, with the influx of new playthings for my children, I am always overwhelmed with what to do with it all. Sleeping helps, but isn’t very productive!
Celestia says
“SIMPLIFY ME!”
I’ve got to get my clothes under control. Other than that, I graduate in May and will need some tips on how to be organized in my soon-to-be professional life.
Emily says
SIMPLIFY ME! We just moved and I’m currently trying to organize my part-time business and my part-time job! Any help I can get to organize our office would be appreciated!
Katy says
SIMPLIFY ME!!!
How would we like to simplify? Let me count the ways…!
Laura says
Simplify Me!
I am actually taking a break from my Pre-New-Year’s Cleaning Extravaganza to read your blog. Since I have moved into this apartment, the boyfriend has also moved in, so my 1-person, 1-bedroom apartment has all of a sudden become a 2-person dwelling.
So, we are trying to turn this space into a living situation that works for both of us (reading your blog is super helpful!)
bex says
SIMPLIFY ME!
I’m totally looking forward to pulling everything out of every one of my closets and putting back in only what should be in there. We’re planning on putting shelving units in all of our closets, and the one I can’t wait for is (naturally) our Master closet. It’s going to be a beautiful, functional place, and I can’t wait!
katie n says
SIMPLIFY ME! I need to continue on my house-wide decluttering kick. I’ve been slowly plugging away for the past year or so getting rid of things, etc. I practically make a weekly trip to the goodwill donation center.
Rebecca says
Simplify me! I need to de-clutter an old house and clear out my paperwork.
Nancy Morrison says
SIMPLIFY ME!
I definitely need all the help I can get! With a busy husband, two young boys, and the hope to start back to school in the new year, I definitely need to get my life streamlined and running smooth.
lisa says

i plan on enforcing a need/use/love rule with regards to items currently in and coming into my house. if it doesn’t fall under one of those three categories then it goes.

Angela S. says
SIMPLIFY ME!
We live in a two-bedroom condo and the 2nd bedroom is my husbands office (he works from home). Sometimes I feel like we are just bursting at the seams! I need help with clutter and fighting the urge to bring more into the house.
Linda says
“Simplify me!”- there I said it.
Reba says
SIMPLIFY ME!!! Paper is always my downfall…organizing it, keeping it, where to put it, etc. HELP
Blair says
SIMPLIFY ME!
My latest “resolution” (I don’t do new year’s resolutions – you never keep them… I do mini-life changes whenever the mood strikes) is to eat less meat. If we cut down on meat, we cut down on our carbon footprint. If we spend less on meat, we’ll save more for buying really good quality and organic meats. Win-win!
Sarah says
SIMPLIFY ME!
I’d like to create a binder for inspiration/recipies, etc. so I can save the few magazine pictures/articles I want in it and stop storing years worth of magazines!
Molly P-H says
Simplify me! I’m going to OHIO the Mail!! (Only Handle It Once). I’m also not buying any more craft supplies until I clean out the craft closet and get the right shelves/containers to make it a real craft closet. The 2nd one is a toughie. Molly in Fla.
Kari says
Whoops! I hit submit before answering your bonus question. . .
I’m always looking for ways to make my life run more smoothly. With 3 kids, a marathon to train for, my husband’s 2 jobs and a house that needs continual attention, anything I can do to make my life more simple I will embrace.

April P. says
SIMPLIFY ME!!!
I’d love to find a way to tackle the paper trail around my house (kid’s papers coming home from school, bills, magazines, mail etc…) I’d also love to organize our unfinished basement!
Kim says
Simplify me! We have been renting while renovating our house for the last four months. Trying to juggle two houses and two kids in school has wreaked havoc on our life. We need organizing help!!

Sarah says
SIMPLIFY ME!
I’m going though the most changes of my life this year: marrying my best friend and moving in with him (I guess as well as starting grad school and graduating from college). I would love to get all of my belongings and paperwork organized, get the wedding planning finalized, and start planning my life with my fiance. It’s all very daunting but I really cannot wait!

SIMPLIFY ME! I thought I simplified toys and kids stuff before Christmas, but now I need to do it all over again. :) I’d love to make our house so simplified that even our toddlers will be able to clean up properly.
marilyn says
Simplify me!
I’m determined to go through the closets and junk drawers that have accumulated like crazy. My fiancee has all of his clothes in two drawers of his big five drawer dresser because the others have so much random stuff in them!
Katie says
SIMPLIFY ME! (Please!)
Major goals for 2011, since we’re hoping to move in 2012 and want to make that easier on ourselves… therefore, keep the clutter in check (stop bringing in superfluous stuff and make sure everything that comes in to the house has a real place) — then, deal with the backlog of stuff that needs to be tossed, donated, filed, etc. I would love to have a house that looks clean and organized like yours by the end of 2011!
Dan says
Simplify me!
I want to make time to read every single day.
Kathy says
SIMPLIFY ME!
on the house hunt, so hoping to get a jump on organization so we don’t go in with clutter there!
Soleil says
Simplify me! I am planning to streamline the tiny closet in our master bedroom with new rods/shelves this week so that my husband can at least fit most of his cloths in it. I’ve been dreaming of doing some bedside built-ins as well so that maybe someday we can both keep our cloths in our bedroom!
Jennifer Jones says
SIMPLIFY ME!
I need to simplify, clean, organize and get rid of stuff in 2011! I just like too much stuff, even if I don’t need it anymore. But I’m already on a mission to clean out and simplify my life. Honestly, do I really need to keep that Biology binder from 9th grade? Probably not. It’s getting recycled this year!
Angela says
SIMPLIFY ME!
I want to simplfy my house, my diet, my lifestyle. Filter out the clutter literally and figuratively.
Alison M. says
Simplify Me! In 2011 I plan to simplify by cutting down on the amount of “stuff” I have around my place. I have way too many “just in case” items that I rarely use.
Debbie says
“SIMPLIFY ME!”
I want to declutter my basement – most of it going to my now adult children! I have been storing their stuff – since they moved out 7 years ago. Make room to simply be~
Amy R. says
Simplify me…PLEASE!!!
Margaret says
SIMPLIFY ME!
2011 is going to be all about being simple. I’ve already been making a point to use the things we already have. Like do I really buy another lotion when I already have 10? Also we’ve been in our new house for 5 months and I am making it my goal to get more organized. People are impressed at how settled we are but I still need to organize closets and drawers since I tend to throw all the things I was unseen inside them ;o A bad habit I want to break! Oh yeah and we can say huge garage sale this spring!! :)
Stephanie says
Simplify me! My goal is to organize a section of my unfinished basement into a craft and diy station!
Lauren says
Simplify me!
I need to orgnize my office and my closet! :)
Brandi says
Simplify me!
I hope to find enough time each week to clean, exercise, see friends and spend more time with my husband! I just need more hours in the day!
Chris S says
SIMPLIFY ME!
Every new year I say “this is the year I’m going to get organized!”… and then it’s Dec 31st again. I need to learn how to detach & part with things so I’m not so overwhelmed with stuff & to-do’s.
Jill says
SIMPLIFY ME!!!
I am a working mom who spends 40 hours a week at work and 2 hours in the car each day commuting to my daughter’s daycare and then to my work. I desperately want to simplify my life and get rid of clutter that I feel is keeping me from enjoying that guilt free time with my family. Especially the “paper” clutter!
