Our plan is to organise and sort the cupboards in our house this year. We moved in 6 months ago and focused on renovating & redecorating the house & we haven’t got round to sorting out the storage cupboards that we shoved stuff in when we moved in.

Amanda R says

I love to be organized but I don’t go about it the right way, so much so I put my USB memory stick someplace that I thought I would remember and lo’ and behold I can’t find it. My office would really benefit.
Jill Helman says
Simplify ME! PLease!!

Since I started a regular freelancing job on top of my day job, I need to figure out a good filing system for tax purposes. And my fixer-upper of a house needs some tweaks to make it more functional so I can make the most out of the space.

My husband and I have an 18 month old and are getting ready to try for our second. It’s going to be a tight squeeze in our current home, but we aren’t ready to sell yet. So our plan is to reorganize, simplify, and squeeze every inch out of our 1200 sq ft home. And we just aren’t very good organizers or simplifiers… Please help!!! ;)

Lisa P says
SIMPLIFY ME! I’m going to keep track of more things on my phone rather than on post it notes. Too bad I got three packs of post it notes in my stocking. :)
Kim says
SIMPLIFY ME!
I just got married in October, so I want to organize our married life together. Joint bank accounts, who pays the bills, budgeting as a family, whew! This would be a huge help in establishing good habits early in our marriage!
Anne says
SIMPLIFY ME! I’m a law student, and my office/study area is currently kind of a disaster. I need to get that under control before next semester starts.

I plan on organizing our extra bedroom (currently a dumping ground for everything we don’t want to keep anywhere else) with a shelving unit.

Youngsters, I’ve entered a lot of contests. However, this one truly speaks to my heart. I would love this.
I’m currently trying to simplify by donating as I clean. I love the idea of blessing others while simplifying my own life.

Simplify me! I’ve been out of town for a semester finishing up my degree, and now that I’m home I realize that my house is full of clutter! I’m on the rampage to declutter and organize my house.

Laura says
SIMPLIFY ME! With 2 kids, a 3 yr old and an 8 month old, I need all the help I can get! Ha! :)
Kristen says
SIMPLIFY ME!
Ah where to begin- two closets in the entire house need massive reworking and organizing; an immense amount of junk to be thrown out, donated, shredded, or sold; lists of things to do in the house before we sell ( not going to happen for 2 years but I want to be prepared). I’m also hoping to make spots for things to land so that the clutter becomes controllable!
Sara says
SIMPLIFY ME!
My goal of 2011 is to organize my file cabinet and to get all of my loose recipes in one organized binder.
Heather F says
“Simplify me”
I have a full house already and 2 sets of elderly parents who are trying to bequeath all their life time collections to us as they move into small retirement communities. Much of it is sentimental, but I can’t absorb another 2 households. I am feeling a little stressed by this!
Newness says
SIMPLIFY ME!
My biggest declutter goal for the new year is the guestroom closet. Heck, all my closets could use some decluttering. I’d also like to get back to weekly meal plans to help making dinner and shopping for groceries easier and more efficient.
Celeste says
Simplify Me!
I have a one year old..and I feel like in spite of frequent purges, our house is being taken over by kid stuff. I’d love to learn how to deal with all of his stuff!
Jennifer says
SIMPLIFY ME!
My New Year’s resolution is to live more “simply” so I can slow down and enjoy life more!!
Charlotte says
SIMPLIFY ME! I have of course been meaning to get around to organizing my closets for a while, but it is getting ridiculous. I couldn’t fit my canned goods in my pantry the last time I went grocery shopping, and there are still Halloween decorations waiting to be squeezed into their storage closet. I need serious help!
amy says
Simplify me! :)
jennie says

patti says
simplify me! I have 2 boys, 15 mo. and my oldest just turned 3 on Christmas. We have a small house with no storage and tons and tons of stuff. We need to get organized! That is my plan this 2011…we need this!
Kathy says
Simplify me PLEASE!! It is already my mantra for the new year!
Emily says
Simplify 101’s ideas look remarkably similar to Flylady’s, especially the Command Central Binder. I hope it’s just a coincidence, or that decluttering is just a really hot issue right now, but it seems like something is wrong to me.
That being said, I appreciate you doing the giveaway, I’m sure it’ll help someone else very much. Personally, I’ll stick with Flylady.
Amanda says

SIMPLIFY ME!!
my goal is to do the things i always say in my mind i really should be doing right now instead of sitting on the couch blog-reading and face-booking :P
i also am trying to get rid of years of pack rat crap my husband has collected as we live in a tiny apartment where our living room and dining room are the same thing. i got a label-maker for my birthday and i’m gonna get in on the sale for storage containers and label my self to happy

I’m trying to work out routines to make sure I get everything done that needs to be done, but also want to cut some things out that is just life clutter. I want to focus on what is important and meaningful!
Hilarie says
SIMPLIFY ME!
We are just finishing an “entire downstairs” remodel, so we need some organizational strategies for our new spaces. Including kitchen, living room, kids’ toys (always!), etc. There is so much – we just need to do it one step at a time.
Chrissy says
Simplify Me!! :)
My fiance and I are currently house-hunting AND wedding planning at the same time, so organization is key to keeping sane. I would love to hone my organization skills since we are going to have to really edit down our stuff when we finally pack up from our parents houses and move into our own house.
Also, can’t wait to have some space to keep all of my wedding planning stuff! I plan to make one of our spare rooms my office/wedding planning room. I think I’ll go to Ikea and the Container Store and get lots of bins to store my idea boards, magazines and everything else!
Jaque says
SIMPLIFY ME!
I want to organize a lot of old boxes with some papers, notes and a lot of fotography.
I need these to be happy in 2011!
