Hey guys! We’re excited to share this great company with you today. It’s something I really think all of us can relate to.
Wouldn’t we all love more time? Sometimes I feel like I close my eyes, and open them again to start the day over…and I’m all, where did the day go? Why is there always so much to do? And why am I so exhausted? A lot of this is just how life is with kids for us right now. But between homework, t-ball, school stuff, bedtime routines, laundry, dishes…and a million other things… the never ending cycle can be a little overwhelming. And sometimes… {Okay. Most of the time.} I feel like I need a professional organizer.
That’s where Simplify 101 comes in. It was Founded by Aby Garvey, the co-author of The Organized and Inspired Scrapbooker. Their mission is simple: To make getting organized fun! You can even try a little sampling of what they’re all about, and download their FREE guide How to Create a Command Central Binder. With it, you can put together a home reference binder that will help you get organized, save time, and minimize paper clutter and the stress that comes with it.
From Simplify 101 :
Do you wish you had more time for the fun stuff on your to-do list like craft projects, hanging out with your family or just relaxing? If you feel like your to-do list is never ending with little room for guilt-free fun? Or, if you’re unhappy with your current approach to managing your time and to-do list, then It’s About Time is for you! In this online workshop you’ll learn how to spend more of your time doing the things you love.
It’s About Time doesn’t prescribe a one-size-fits-all approach to time or task management. Instead, you’ll pinpoint the ways you’d like to change how you spend your time and manage your to-dos. Using the ideas and techniques presented in the lessons, you’ll create a customized approach to time and task management—one that works for you. View the entire class syllabus here. The workshop begins Tuesday, April 10, 2012.
Today, simplify 101 is offering a spot in their workshop ”It’s About Time” to One Lucky Duck winner-a 79 dollar value! Want to win?
