This giveaway is now closed. The winner is #163 Gin!
It’s a proven fact that, every single year, getting organized makes the list of Top 10 New Year’s Resolutions.
So at the start of every January, millions of people around the world resolve that this year is the year that they will finally get organized. But by the end of every January, many of those same people have already given up all hope of ever reaching their organizing goals.
This may even sound like a New Year’s Resolution in your own life! If it does, you are not alone.
In fact, it’s fairly common that…
You do a lot, but at the end of the day, you never feel like you’ve gotten anything done.
You try to balance work and home, but when you get caught up with one, the other falls short.
You keep things tidy on the outside, but end up hiding clutter behind doors and inside of drawers.
You try to organize, but the kids come right behind you to mess things up.
You feel frustrated because you seem to be doing everything while your family relaxes or doesn’t seem to care.
You have so much “stuff” in your home, that there is little room left for “people.”
You try to set up organizing systems, but have little to no energy after work and family responsibilities to actually implement them.
You want to catch up with friends and neighbors, but you would rather ask people to meet at a restaurant than to meet in your home because it’s too cluttery.
You spend so much time doing for others that you have zero time left to spend on you.
If you can relate to any of the above points then today’s giveaway is for you!

James Stillwell says
Thanks for the opportunity to win a free “clutter cleanse.” This could revolutionize my life.
Vickie says
My husband brings home yard-sale and dumpster items constantly. Being organized in 2012 would help me deal with these treasures without being irritated at him all the time- and that’s bound to make both of our lives better!
Sandy says
Sure didn’t know anyone else besides me had this problem. Everything is a treasure to my hubby.
Sarah says
I need help to keep my inner procrastinator at bay
Beth Kensinger says
This looks great! I am always feel the desire to start weeding things out at the new year!
Joanna says
We’ve started the year out by getting our storage room organized, and I’ve ordered these amazing spice clips to finally get my spices in order (http://www.amazon.com/Consumer-Solutions-Spice-Storage-Organizer/dp/B0002TG3GO). I’m hoping to keep up this momentum. My ultimate goal for 2012 if to find a home for everything, so that organization becomes a no-brainer and a non-stressor!
Kristie says
This sounds like a wonderful program!
CarolZ says
This would so help my husband and i deal with life. We live day to day in fear someone might stop in and find out our clutter secret!
Becca S says
Getting organized would enable me to spend more quality time with my husband after our 6 month old goes to sleep!
Julie says
Oh, to conquer the clutter! The nagging “I have so much stuff to handle” feeling, would go away. I could enjoy my kids, and enjoy a book without feeling like I “should” be handling something else.
Janet says
I could certainly use this!! We are supposed to move out of state this summer and our house is completely cluttered. I’ve NO clue where to begin and NO one in my family is able to help get this job done. I have a panic attack every time I think about the 11 years worth of “stuff” that has accumulated in our house that needs to be sorted through. My girls clothes stay in laundry baskets b/c I’ve no room in the closets. I need a step by step manual to tell me what to do first and how to get started. We need to list our house on the market by March 1st and I’m scared I won’t have this place presentable for showings:-(
Jen says
I’m 29, but I feel like I have way more clutter than someone my age should. It’s holding me back, and I know it. I need to learn how to be more organized now so that I’ll have those skills when it’s not just my clutter I have to organize.
Annette W says
I look forward to welcoming friends who just drop in…and not apologizing for the untidiness.
Jeanna says
Getting organized will allow me to spend more time with my 2 little girls.
Marisa Frank says
I totally need to get more organized. We have 4 children but are living in a 2 bedroom house. Thank goodness we have a large playroom where the older kids sleep. But we have simply outgrown the house and need to get rid of the clutter.
debbie says
I have recently relocated to a triplex from a house…I definitely could use this in my quest for an orderly home…right now i am totally overwhelmed with all that needs to be done
Heather says
I would love this to get organization in my house. My hubby would love it if the clutter was gone tooo!
Michelle says
Getting organized will help me spend more quality time with my family!
Melissa G says
I am looking forward to the freedom being organized and clutter free will bring me and my family. It will help to bring peace to our home and freedom to have more down time together as well as to be able to reach out to the community. I am intrigued by the journal idea as a way to get to the root of the clutter problem. Sometimes I feel like my piles bring me a sense of security, but I know it is not a healthy way to live. I want my security to come from being a child of God, not from stuff.
Tammy says
As a homeschooling mother with closets like Fibber McGee, this would be a lifesaver in 2012. Perhaps literally! LOL.
Christine says
Getting organized will set an example to my three children. More than anything I want to be a good role model to them by how I live my life, not just what I say to them. This can help me with that.
Melissa says
I look forward to the freedom and peace being organized and clutter free will bring. It will bring peace to our home and my marriage because we can focus on relationships instead of stuff. I really like the idea of journaling to find the route of the clutter.I will go through cleaning and simplifing stages, but the clutter always seems to take over. I know how to organize, I just don’t know how to stay that way! I admit to feeling a sense of security from my piles, but I want to get my security and peace from knowing I am a child of God, instead of things.
Thank you for your generosity!
Christina says
Getting organized will help me and teach my children about keeping things neat and tidy and clutter-free
Jennifer Funneled says
Im the typical wife and mom of 2, hopeful solopreneur…never enough time and it described me perfectly by saying that Im always busy yet nothing ever feels done. Id love go take you control of ny calendar and make my to-do list a done list this year!
ter@waaoms says
Getting organized would be great for me especially now that I have a home based business and I’d like to spend more time working on my business than organizing this house.
Tammy says
I am so tired of feeling like I am cleaning 24/7 and never getting anywhere. I just feel tired and frustrated with myself and with my family. I have tried organizing in the past and usually I end up not being able to find the organizing book 🙂 JOKE, not really!
Mormelar says
Wow, I almost felt like You were talking directly to me.
I have always loved organizing, sorting, storage, baskets… But still I am not able to find the balance to get everything done. I can spend hours and hours sorting my handycraft desk and cupboards, while the rest of my home remains…Well, not so organized, as I would like.
Altough I dont give out new-years-promises, this year I decided to make a big one – to take control of my life! I recently started at a new REAL job and family life has gotten much more difficult, not so easy to find time to do everything.
Trying to find means to keep my promise, I found your blog and fell in love with it.
So, why not to try?
Kathleen says
WOW! Do I need this! What a way to start 2012! Thanks for the chance to win.
Candice Reed says
I am a mom of 3 , and recently off Mat leave. This could help me juggle the work life bablance 🙂
Cindi says
I’m a work-at-home mom of a 2-year-old. Trying to juggle work, home, and most importantly, quality time with the toddler – I need a more organized life in 2012!!!
Jodie W says
This would be so wonderful…to get organized and stay organized! It would help my whole family!
marisa says
I would love this! We are a family of 7, one with special needs, and finding time to be organized is something I only dream of!
Shannon C says
With two under three, my former organized self turned into a big hot mess. Our bedroom and garage have become the dumping ground for everything. I could sure use the help. Thank you for having this giveaway! 🙂
Sarah says
We’re trying to have a baby and getting organized now would certainly help.
Jen says
A lot of these points really hit home for me! Guess I have more clutter than I realized. I would love to do a clutter cleanse!
Kelly says
WOW….. what a great chance to actually get organized this year!!!
Heather says
I always feel better when there is less clutter around and after the holidays it’s always hard to get back on track.
Jennifer says
By being organized, I can better manage the demands of maintaining all my son’s medical records, as well as not having every nook and cranny full of things I never use and lose the overwhelmed feelings I constantly battle.
Carrie P says
Getting organized will make me feel better about “me” – making my time with my family that much more special. I can take a day off work to relax instead of trying to rush around and get stuff done before the husband and kid get home.
dana h says
I would love to get on top of my clutter. We are moving and starting a new house with organization as our top goal is my plan. Thanks for the giveaway.
Miaja R says
I am a mother of 2 teen girls, have 4 chihuahuas and am in school full-time. I graduate from college this July and will hopefully be getting a job. Helping me get and stay organized will be a BIG help for this busy household!
Aimee says
Getting organized will help me be more social. I would invite family & friends over way more often if my home was organized the way I would like it to be.
Also, I’d feel a LOT better about myself as a homemaker if my home looked the way I want it to look.
Kathleen Dunagan says
As a brain tumor survivor, my energy has been compromised considerably and the thing I find the hardest to deal with is organization. My house may be clean, but I can’t stand knowing that my cupboards and drawers are in disarray and I don’t know how I’ll ever be at ease. This prize would help me live the stress free life I so long for.
Jill Flinchum says
My daughter has gone off to college, but my house remains more cluttered than ever! I need help to stop this cycle!
LP says
I would love more to be organized to enjoy my stress /clutter free time & mind with family and enjoy other activites .
Chloe says
I’m half way there, but don’t seem to get it all done. I know that a little bit more organization, and a lot less clutter, would make homeschooling and living so much more calm and peaceful. 🙂
Elana says
I’m trying very hard to set a better example for my kids. They are learning to clutter as much as I do, and I need to nip that in the bud.
Jill says
I am ready to conquer more of the clutter so we can move from surviving to thriving!
Teal says
I need big help to get myself organized! I have so much trouble getting rid of things because everything has some kind of sentimental attachment!
Amber says
I love to get organized! I just moved in with my boyfriend & we have 2 girls! I would love to get my life and home clutter free!
Valerie says
My five children are all still living at home and they are now in their teens and early twenties. The amount of available storage space for everyone seems to have dwindled down to the point that our house is very cluttered. For clarity of mind and ability to find things when needed , we need to make decluttering a priority. Plus it would be great to pass this skill down to the children before they leave home.
Ethel says
Awesome giveaway!
Beth says
Being a full-time grad student, working full-time and with a house full of unorganized people I need all the help I can get to become more organized so that I can get the things done I need to do and save money by not buying things we all ready have and don’t need. Thank you for the opportunity to win this program-it would be a blessing!
Beth
Elaine G S says
We have a fairly small house and probably too much stuff. This would definitely help organize and declutter. Thanks for the offer!
Laurie says
Getting organized might possibly save my marriage 😉 My husband is a Marine and very detailed, very organized and I am the opposite. Clutter just seems to cling to me. My youngest daughter has some complex medical needs and being a military family and constantly moving, the past two years have just overwhelmed me. I think my whole family would be happier, more peaceful, with less stress than we have now if we had a smooth running household with little to no clutter. It’s crazy how important that is here and I have no idea where to start.
Shaunna Ulrick says
It would make me not crazy! 🙂
KyleeJ says
Getting organized is my mission this year, in fact I started about mid-December. This fall my oldest will start college and my little one will start school. I need to get a handle on all this.
Angela S. says
It would allow me to feel better about myself and my home. Not to mention we’re remodeling our kitchen and could use all the help we could get
D.J. Pei says
I’ve been trying to create routines and get organized since having my baby last year and going back to work. A little progress has been made but I feel like I’m still “on the brink” of having it all fall apart. Working on my new year’s resolutions and “getting organized” is at the top of the list.
Elizabeth L. says
I homeschool 4 boys and work full time nights and online. We recently closed our weekend business. Teaching the kids all day, working at night and on weekends leaves little to no time for household tasks. I can’t begin to tell you how much clutter accumulates when you don’t have time to stay on top of it. We have four years worth! I could really use a simple plan to get it back under control with my newly freed up weekends.
Stacy S says
I so need this right now! We are trying to sell our house and this will help my whole family learn decluttering. It will make our house look nicer for showings and will prevent us from taking all the junk with us when we move!
Dee says
I think if I can bring balance to my home that will free up my mind to bring balance to my eating habits and to my relationships. Clutter distracts so much that it takes away time and energy from other things. Amazing that the stuff we own ends up owning us. I want to live in freedom.
We have a small house, with three boys in one room so we need to keep things organized. We have always had small homes but it has been worth the sacrifice to be a stay at home mom and live on one salary.
Happy New Year to you!!
Angie says
This would be perfect to find the root of the problem as you have indicated above. I am the one who has a neat and tidy house but the drawers/closets/cabinets are unorganized and cause un-necessary stress especially when trying to find something. I just found four packs of travel size kleenex that I have to add to my existing stash because I didn’t put it away properly.
Angie C says
This is something I desperately need! Especially since we’ll be moving in several months and I don’t even know where to begin with getting rid of clutter and unnecessary items.
TracyDK says
This would be so awesome. I find getting everything organized and decluttered so overwhelming!
Brandi says
I have tried so many things, and while some have worked, many others have not. The emotional part of building clutter so resonates with me, and having a guide that connects with all the different things that go in to the building of clutter, and then the releasing of clutter would be perfect for me. I don’t want my bad habits to rub off on my kids – and I see evidence of this already!!! – so I’ve got to get this under control NOW!
Thank you for this opportunity!!!
Jamie Teal says
This is an answer to my prayers! In 2008 afters years of infertility treatments I gave birth to a wonderful little boy. In 2009 I was almost killed due to a surgery gone wrong. After months in the hospital I returned home. In 2010 I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis which was triggered by the surgical accident. In 2011 we filed bankruptcy due to medical bills and both of us losing our jobs. Somewhere along the way I became hopelessly cluttered. Every time I try to get organized the stress is too much. I am so overwhelmed. I need to get my life back together!!!!
rebecca says
Getting organized would let me spend more time with my kids!
Kari says
Clutter stresses me out! Less clutter for me would mean less stress for me! 🙂
Tonnia Williams says
I am organizing this year to gain Time,Energy,Piece of mind. A cluttered home
Sucks the energy out of me. I am fighting back in 2012.
Tabitha @ A Restful Place says
I’m due to have a new baby (baby #2) in March and the clutter and organization is killing me these days! Thanks for the chance to win!
Kathy says
Getting organized in 2012 will make my life easier as my DH is soon to graduate as a Sheriff’s Deputy and that means many days and nights of solo parenting are in my future and being organzied will make the process run smoother
jeannie n. says
If I can get rid of or organize my “stuff” then I feel like my house would actually be clean after I do the normal house cleaning of vaccuming, dusting and cleaning bathrooms.
Michelle says
I think this would help me feel better about myself and my goal for a clean and organized house.
Janet says
After my divorce I lived as a single parent for about 6 years and accumulated “stuff” from my children’s activities. After they moved out, I continued to live along and collected more “stuff” to support my crafting hobbies. Now I’m engaged to a wonderful man who also has plenty of “stuff.” I need to begin the process of de-cluttering so we can live in one house and still have room to live!
Elizabeth says
We had a major clothes sort right before the New Year. Several bags of things donated to the local mission. Even our holiday overnight guests added things to our “give” pile. We took books to the book exchange and made some difficult decisions to give up toys and other possessions. Yet, we are still cluttered. We want a comfortable home with more room for people than clutter. Seems like this would be a very valuable tool.
Letitia says
My goal this year is to focus on organizing my home and my life one step, one disorganized hot spot, one day at a time. Ultimately, I want more time for the things that are truly important to me. I want peace of mind, more time to be creative and more time to love others. Less chaos and stress and more bliss would be nice!
Teresa says
Oh my goodness!!! Winning this would be a dream come true. Thanks for this chance 🙂
Rita says
I would love to win this! I definetely need to declutter and organize but often find it hard to know where to start. I have donated a lot to Goodwill over the past few years but stil find myself weighed down by too much stuff.
Cynthia Renee' says
I’ve recently started homeschooling my 2 children. I am temporarily living with my in-laws and have very very limited space to keep all my supplies and getting organized is challenging. Space is limited for EVERYTHING. Getting organized will certainly help my homeschooling go smoother and help me to relax a little, cut out some stress. Thanks for this opportunity! I’d love to win! You’re website here is very helpful!
Carrie says
I am a new wife (who just moved into the house where my husband lived as a bachelor for 5 years) a full time teacher and cheerleading coach. Organizing my life would give me so much more time to just be me.
feener says
I believe the one area in my life that is in need of great help is organization. my husband and i become paralyzed by it. whether it be his office (which i can hardly walk into) or the playroom where the kids won’t even play, or my bedroom. we are a mess and i call use organizationally challenged. i feel that if we could declutter we would all be better. help me !!!!
Becky says
Getting organized would mean time to focus on family. I would love to find a home for everything and keep it up so that home really can be a refuge and sanctuary for our family. Thanks for this opportunity!
Sare says
I just moved right before Christmas. I can’t even find my checkbook. I would love the opportunity to start out in my new place clean and organized!
Elizabeth says
My goal for 2012 is “connection with others.” I’d love to invite people over to my house for dinner and conversation, yet I’m embarassed by my lack of organization and by the clutter that threatens to take over every time I look away! I welcome the opportunity to change, so I thank you for this timely giveaway and always-relevant blog!
Linda T. says
It would help me gain the confidence to accomplish whatever goal I set.
Muriel says
Getting organized would free up more time & energy for my family & friends.
Sue L says
I DREAM about being organized! I know once it’s accomplished, it is easier to maintain, it’s just getting to that point. I think winning this package would definitely help me immensely, Thanks for the chance to enter and hopefully win!!
Krista says
If I get rid of this clutter, I would feel free! … unburdened by heaviness that the paper and other stuff causes. I would be able to invite friends, and host parties, I would be able to spend more time doing the things I love. I would feel great about myself and be comfortable in my environment. I would be at peace.
Amy Scott says
My focus to get organized in 2012 will bring sanity back into my life.
Rochelle says
I would love this. I am so tired of berating myself for not being organized enough and on-top of things enough. I would love to stop feeling uncomfortable if someone stops by unannounced.
Colleen says
Getting organized will save me time (that I spend looking for things I know are “somewhere”), money (on the duplicates I buy), and most importantly my sanity. I would feel free without this clutter weighing me down.
Amy says
4 people in 1,000 sq. feet….two of whom are 3 years old and 10 month old and totally spoiled by their grandparents…this equals a lot of STUFF (please see toys, books, clothing, puzzles..never ends)!! I feel like I’m constantly cleaning/moving things around….just trying to find space for all the stuff the four of us have! I’m guilty when it comes to too much stuff too!!! This cleanse is just what I need to start off the new year right and get this household under control!
Sandra says
I would have more time to play with my kids!
Iris says
Yes please! I have only just begun to scratch the surface with my clutter clearing. And my husband is at the end of his rope with my messy ways. I think we really need professional help.
Ann says
My house may seem organized but I am good and cramming in closed spaces where no one sees… but I know 🙂
I would love a clutter cleanse…. I just do not know where to start and how to get organized to keep out the clutter!!

Kait says
Due to my husband’s job, we have to move a lot. It takes forever to pack everything up and unpack because there’s just so. much. stuff. I would love to finally learn how to streamline and live a simpler life. It would save us so much time!
Gwen says
Getting organized would reduce unnecessary purchases, as well as reduce my family’s stress level.
megan says
I am tired of wasting time searching for things or wasting moiney buying a replacement
Averiesmom says
I have children, pets and my 90 year old father in my home. I need help with organization!
The Chocolate Cat says
Decluttering my home and life would give me the time to enjoy my family and my home instead of forever shuffling things from one place to another!
Summer @ Well-rounded Hippie says
Getting organized would help me free my mind from my clutter. I’m slowly working on this and I feel “light” when I’m in the spaces I’ve worked. But I still have some obstacles to overcome.
Bobbie Brown says
Since getting involved with Thirty-One Gifts I am crazy busy and need to get everything organized to make day to day life easier
Dynamics says
OMG, getting organized would make me so happy.
Linda Kish says
I am running out of room and would like help with thinning things out.

Kristin says
I have a feeling that this will help – until it too gets lost in the chaos of my life!
Heather Siani says
Having our first baby means that I am scrambling to get our lives in order before she arrives!
Martianne says
Oh, this could help me a great deal, since I have been stuck in the mire of clutter for years and am just starting to slog through it again. Thanks for the chance to win.
Tanna says
Getting organized would relieve my stress and free my mind!! Organizing my office will get my husband off my back 🙂
Leslie says
Getting organized in 2012 will help me spend more time with my children – they grow up way to fast as it is, and spending time looking for things is not a good use of my time!
roseann says
number one: i can finally have people over!!!
Becky says
Goodness- the less clutter the less stress in my life.
Michele says
It would relieve so much stress!
Jana D says
How will getting organized in 2012 will help me live a better life? Easy. It will help me set a better example for my children. If I can get organized, I can teach them to be organized, and they will, in turn, become better organized adults. It will also actually improve my relationship with my husband. When he comes home to an organized space, it’s one less thing he has to worry about. He knows that while he is working hard at his job, I’m not at home eating ice cream and watching soaps all day. It will help him know that we are in this together, pulling equal weight. It will also help me be a better friend. I want to be able to have friends over more often, and I don’t want them to worry about not feeling comfortable in my home. Also, once I am organized, I can offer help to others who also need a little organizing.
Yvette says
Organization is such a challenge. This program sounds perfect for me. thanks for the chance to win.
Krisi says
Those points were all things I could say yes to!! I really need this cleanse! Thanks for the chance.
Amy says
I can use all the help I can get. My three boys all 3 yrs and under have helped get me jump started to clear some clutter but they also ” get in the way” as far as getting anything actually done. Would love your system!
Sarah says
I would like to organize so I don’t have to rebuy items I can’t find.
Jodi says
I suffer very bad, frequant migraines which mean that I can almost nothing for 2 days each time. Being organized would mean that I wouldn’t have to stress about not being able to do the things that need doing, as well set up organizing would make the house almost run by itself for the days I can’t move and then only require a small effort on my part to catch up.
Sheila says
Single mom, full time teacher-simplifying and purging and organization will help me spend more time with my own kids and kids in my classroom more effectively because I have two important spaces to organize both equally needing it. Better mom-better teacher.
Heather Burdett says
I would love to get more organized. It has always been a goal and somewhat of a struggle.
Kriste says
The 21-Day Clutter Cleanse sounds like heaven! I am a new mom and my nice organized life before my daughter is no where to be found and I desperately miss it. I LOVE being organized and it is stressing me out having disorganization in my life. I would love to win and my family would too!
Tokin says
I am in serious need of clutter rehab. My office for instance is a disaster and I spend so much time in here. Seeing the constant mess overwhelms and stresses me out. There are a few other areas like it in my house as well. Getting organized and finding a system that works for me would alleviate so much of those feelings, it would definitely make me a better wife, mother, person.
Suzanne says
I have been reading your blog regularly and trying to declutter….but I think I need an intervention….I can’t seem to finish one project before I start another……..so the whole house is a disaster. I need help……..and free help would be even better since my husband just lost his job
Kathy Cervantes says
Would love to make this the year I get organized and simplify my life.
Alicia says
I’m having a baby this year, and I know having a little organization will help with all that baby stuff!
Jami says
I have 3 kids under the age of 6, work both a full time and part time job, have a husband that is gone all too frequently and a home that needs much more TLC than I can possibly manage. Some organization would help me get my kids out of the door on time, give us meals together that are actually desirable and help me keep my house tidy. I try and try and usually just throw my hands up and shake my head…
Debbi Does Dinner Healthy says
You should see my desk and my bedroom! They are the catch all clutter catchers of the house and badly need to be dealt with. This would be great to try out, thanks!
Jane says
I got married this past March and my husband and I moved into our condo in August. We finally have most of our stuff from our parent’s houses, but let me tell you – THERE IS JUST TOOOOOO MUCH STUFF! Sometimes the task can be really overwhelming, but I am tired of living with all this stuff. Being organized this year would take some stress out of both our lives and give us some time to not always be “working on the house.”
Heather Ludwig says
I am a pack rat that needs to get rid of items and organize so that my son can have more space. I tend to try to organize but never seem to get through the whole process. I would love to have this help because then I would get it done.
Thanks,
Heather
Donna G says
Being organized would let me work more efficiently for and with my husband, and still have time to run the household in the snippets of time I have to do that.
Madison says
Getting control of the clutter in my house would make my family happier, healthier, and in control. As I walk through my small house I get overwhelmed and don’t know where to start.
Angela says
Getting organised would mean that there would hopefully not be any more days when we allowed our 3-year-old daughter to wander around the house in only her jumper (like she prefers to, given a chance) because we can’t find any pants for her, as we lost track of where we dumped the washed ones after they’d dried!!
Ashley says
I need this so bad! I have been attempting but failing miserably at organizing my home. This sounds like the perfect solution to help me figure it all out.
Mary Ruff says
I am COMMITTED to getting organized this year! I just downloaded your book and this cleanse will really help me move to the next level. I have resolved to take care of ME in 2012 – and part of that involves purging and clearing the clutter from my home. I have realized that I cannot expect my children to have organized rooms if I don’t model how to do that for them. I owe it to them and to myself!! SO motivated!!!
Melinda T says
Getting organized will help me live a better life in numerous ways! I’m so overwhelmed by all my clutter, I’m not sure where or how to start. I’m hoping and wanting to clear the physical junk/trash and gain peace of mind, save $ from buying unnecessary things again because I’ve forgotten or misplaced it, freedom from things and find time to do what I love rather than waste time finding a toy/note/keys/items that I’ve misplaced somewhere in the house because I didn’t put it where it rightfully belongs in the first place. And I’m wanting to set a good example to my girls, I don’t want them to think that living in clutter is a way of life and most importantly so my husband and I can quit arguing about how messy the house is and how he can never find anything!
Alicia says
Carmen is amazing! I would love to be able to be less cluttered with her 21 day Clutter Cleanse. Here’s hoping for a more positive 2012!
Shannon says
Getting my life organized and under control will give me time to do fun stuff with my family and not worry about the state of our apartment…
Kelly says
Getting organized in 2012 would be the best gift I could give to my family.
Sheena says
Getting organized in 2012 would help me to be able to relax instead of always feeling like I am going to miss the ball on something.
Michãel Palmer says
Wow! I checked off all those things! What a gift of a give-away! I have noticed that both my husband and I are much better parents when our house is in order. Unfortunately, it doesn’t stay that way very long. Thanks for the chance!
Jenny Wren (Barker) says
I would love to win this so I want be so crabby when I get home from work! I’d love to teach my teenage kids how to be better organized as well so that not only can they help me but also maintain this lifestyle as they go off to college in a couple of years.
Chris J says
Getting organized (which is such broad and vast concept) means freedom in so many ways. Freedom from stress, wasted time, perfectionism, and the freedom for so much possibility! Who wouldn’t welcome that?
Georgiana says
I would love this! I’ve struggled forever with secret clutter.
liza says
I homeschool, and it would be easier to have our materials organized and available at a moment’s notice, if our living room and kitchen had less non-school stuff in it
Jennifer says
We are a family of 5 in the process of packing up and moving to a new house. I have vowed that I will be more organized in our new house than I am in our current house. It would be nice to start out on the right foot, and just have to maintain that organization. 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity to win!
AmeliaB says
I’ve gotten just so tired with being unorganized. I’m a college student who was never good at time management or organization before I got to college, and then I added a ton of stress right on top of my weak skills. I would just like to have one week where I don’t feel like I’m struggling to scrape by. This would be a really great giveaway to win! Thanks for holding it. Amelia
Kim says
Sounds interesting and very helpful!
Marilyn says
I re-entered the workforce in 2011, having completed my master’s in 2010, and now doing what I love to do at this point in mid-life. But juggling that while keeping my home running and wanting to do more in the evenings after work than clean is a struggle. I’ve tried purging and downsizing our amount of “stuff” hasn’t gotten me there yet. i need a definite plan and personal input because I know there is a better way to do it but I just am not there!
April Floyd says
I am terrible at saying “no” therefore “me time” is impossible. I seem to do everything for everyone yet get frustrated that they seem to do nothing BUT relax. Meanwhile my house lives in chaos. I remember the “good ole days” when my husband and I were first married. Without children, we were so super organized that we got labeled OCD. Well now our OCD is not a medical diagnosis but a physical disaster: over clutter disease! I have tried to declutter and have even started donating and tossing. Bins, bins, bins…I have lots of bins but still find that I am unorganized. This puzzles me!
All I can say is, “HHHHEEEELLLLPPPP!”
Thanks for this opportunity!
April
Heather says
I’m moving across the country at the end of the year, so being organized will make moving so much easier.
Judi says
I have a lot of health issues and never seem to get it all done. I start but can’t finish. If I could get organized, I just might be able to do it. And that would be wonderful to be able to walk from room to room and see clean and clear spaces. Thank you for giving me this chance.
Diane says
I started out by organinizing those things that would make my life easier in 2012. I have found they have helped a lot and want to continue on with my journey through my whole home!!!!!! I have been trying to get organized for a couple of years now and feel this would really help me to get organized for once and for all !!!!!!!!!!!! I would love to win!!!!!!!!!!!!
Karen says
I am totally overwhelmed with clutter in my home. It is hard to figure out where to even start. A little help from an organizational product like this would hopefully lead me to an organized and clutter-free home.
Kari says
This would be perfect for me! We have so much clutter so I don’t even know where to start! I could really use some direction! Please help!
Robyn Willis says
I turned 50 in December. I’ve been desiring to get completely organized for quite some time now. Each time I begin, I feel overwhelmed and an anxiousness within me. So, I stop, feel defeated and even MORE burdened. This year, I’ve begun to make the realization of why I hold onto things and don’t allow myself to enjoy/use the things that I am fortunate enough to have. Sadly, I have been able to trace this pattern back to my childhood. I am SOOOO ready to put all this “weight” to rest. I desire and need to be able to get organized so that I can live “burden free” and enjoy every moment of my life, with each person that is valuable in my life.
Thank you for sharing your talent and your consideration.
Robyn XOXO 🙂
Stephanie says
spend more time with family without being overwhelmed by a to do list
Trinity says
This would be great. We have our stuff and his mom’s stuff (in case we ever need it) something gotta give…soon since I am dreaming of a nice pantry closet 🙂
jamie b says
Getting organized while my house is being rennovated has been a constant headache while balancing work and two kids under two. I need all the help I can get.
Jennifer says
Getting organized in 2012 would help me feel more at peace.
KL says
We moved two years ago and never purged…just moved the stuff with us. It would mean getting back my garage so I don’t have to scrape ice off every winter. It would mean cleaning the basement out enough to finish it as a family room!
Gin says
Getting organised would enable me to volunteer more at my kids’ school.
Shelly says
It would simplify my day and end the constant search for where missing items have gone.
Lei chartrand says
Bring organized is on the tip of my new years resolution. This giveaway would help me n my family of 4 by bringing us closer as a family by cutting some of our stress! We need to do one big clean up n stock to it!
Christine says
It would give me more time to play with my son instead of fobbing him off while I run round like a headless chicken trying to find important stuff amongst the clutter.
Lisa says
I have 2 1/2 year old twins and I am constantly trying to climb out from under our stuff. It is a constant battle to try get organized. This would be great for us!
Kacie says
I need help getting organized in 2012 because my disorganization is adversely affecting my time with my kids and husband and myself. NO MORE!
Wanda says
This sounds like an amazing ‘program’! This would give me an opportunity to spend more time with my family and keep track of the things that my children need (I have two special needs kids and need all the help I can get, lol).
Camille says
I need all the help I can get to gain some control of all the clutter in our home. I have great intentions of getting started on this huge project I just never seem to get started. I am hoping that this is the year I can find some system of organization that works for my entire family. I think being more organized would provide some relief for all of us and free up some time to do more fun things we all enjoy doing.
Ronalee Duncan says
Getting organized in 2012 will help me live a better life, because it will help me to get my house ready to sell, which is my goal for this year. It would also help me to utilize my cleaning schedule.
a happy home = a happy me

Candice says
WOW! Great prize pack – thanks so much for the chance to win:) I’m the kind of person who has great organizing ideas, loves to implement them but then lacks the energy after work & life stuff to maintain it all. Then I just figure that particular method doesn’t work for me so I start all over again with something different. Having a program like this would get rid of a lot of my stress over my home:)
Thanks again!

AnneSATX says
My youngest stepson is no longer living at home and now I feel I can declutter, clean, organize and make our home the home I’ve always wanted it to be. I can start having friends and family over more often without feeling like I need two weeks to clean the house. Or maybe I should say I WILL feel this way! Especially if I were to win this giveaway and get the extra help and motivation I need to get going!
Tracy says
This could change my life! It is time to make a major change and I think this is it.
thank you for the chance!
Ka says
I need a clutter cleanse so I can finally feel comfortable having friends and family over!
Erin @ Small and Simple Things says
Wow! Sounds intense! I am having baby #4 in a few months and feel the need to be organized and on top of the house before she arrives. Fingers are crossed! Thank you.
Michelle @ Getting Through the Day says
If I can get and stay organized I will have more time for things like playing with my kids and enjoying time with my husband. Less time spent dealing with stuff means more time spent on things that are important!
betsy barnes says
About 6 months ago, hubby wasn’t working due his partner left, so I was forced to get organized quick. It certainly helped knowing I had everything in one place. He finally found a job just in time and I’m getting better in my organization. We both feel better about our future and we are back really working as a team!
melissa says
I’m looking to simplify in multiple areas of my life. It’s my belief that my chronic disorganization also reflects my mental and spiritual health, and I’m hoping to come at better health from various directions.
Carol W says
Holy Hannah…you described me to a “T” in the first group of definitions of needing to be clutter free…Not only do I need to attack my house but the rest of my life as well…Once I can get comfortable with my surroundings I will definately be able to work on my inner self and determine what needs to go and what can stay so I can be comfortable and clutter free inside and out…Thank you for the opportunity to win this great prize…I so need help…it seems like my whole life has been like this and I truly believe this is the year to weed through the clutter, simplify and stay clutter free…
C Smith says
I’m a real estate agent with a 1 year old son and I work from home. My home office is such a disaster that if anyone saw it they would never hire me! I work best when my to-do tasks are right in front of me (rather than filed away in a to-do folder) but this is out of control! I periodically get really motivated to purge and organize but then I get overwhelmed. My biggest challenge to overcome is holding on to stuff that I “might need”. Why can’t I let things go? It’s starting to carry over into the rest of the house and we have hot zones that always seem to be cluttered. I know I need to get organized, I just need the right tools. How do I find homes for things so they don’t always end up on the kitchen counter or dining room table? How do I organize my files, etc. in my office so I don’t constantly have files and random papers scattered everywhere? HELP!!!
Suzie says
If I win it would change my life, because finally I’ll have a tool to help me get and stay organized and my teen age son won’t be embarrassed to have his friends over. He could have his friends over and our house could be the “hang out” house! That would be life transforming!
Britiney@Consider the Lilies says
I could finally stop being controlled by the chaos!
Heather Stokes says
We moved the week of Thanksgiving, and we are, unfortunately, still living out of boxes. We can’t find anything, and we haven’t had the “energy” to actually dive in and get it all unpacked and organized. I seriously need some motivation. My house is a nightmare right now, and I am not an unorganized person by nature. Getting in on this would help to level out my home. Thank you!
Kathleen Chapman says
OMG! it would not only preserve my sanity but may also save my marriage…. Please save me!!!
Maria M says
with 4 kids and n a granddaughter being organized to help me spend more time with them and do the more fun things in life
Bobbi says
I need to purge!!! Clutter, clutter, clutter!
Jenni says
Being organized in 2012 would make me feel okay to actually LIVE my life and enjoy my family… instead of feeling constantly guilty about the clutter in my house.
Linda says
I would love to win this program so I can continue to SIMPLIFY my life with order and structure.
I have been working at this for quite a while now. It is taking me longer as I have and illness that steals my energy very quickly. Any help where I could work smarter and not harder is for me.
Kristina says
Having 4 children under the age of 7 and being a single mom, being more organized in 2012 would help me to keep everything in order in our house. Not only would it make my life less stressful it would make it easier on my children as they start to take on more chores in the house.
Karla says
I would love to become more organized and less of a hoarder. It is ruining my life and my marriage because I am unable to find the things I put up because of my wanting to hang on to everything. I would like to make my new years resolution to become more organized and to not hang on to the things that do not make a difference in my life Thanks for the giveaway Karla
Carolyn says
I would love to clutter cleanse as I have 3 girls and I want to set a good example for them.
I have so much clutter that I am overwhelmed and wiped out!
Alyson says
We are selling our home, so I really need this to organize our “stuff” for packing and keeping the house free of clutter to be ready for a house showing at any moment. We have accumulated so much stuff being in the same home for 20 years! I need to get organized with these big tasks looming in 2012. Thanks!
Alyzabeth’s Mommy
Deidra says
Living life with less clutter is definitely my goal for 2012! I went from a 3900 sf house to one that is 1900 sf- I need to purge and need all the help I can get!
Kim says
Since my husband got laid off and I went back to work, my house has becoming the once beautifully, organized house to cluttersville. My husband and my children forgot how to pick up after themselves, how to put their toys away where it belongs and my office has become the dumping ground when a quick clean is necessary. My dining room table is now the drop zone (drop the mail, books, jackets) you name it and it drives me crazy!! I definitely need help to get organized again.
Donna says
I dream of a home that is clutter free and organized and have nightmares that one day I might become a hoarder! (Not going to happen, but my mother could have been on one of those hoarding shows…could be why I’m so frightened of it happening to me!) Living life with less clutter would mean I have time to be the wife, mom, and woman God created me to be. Help!
Donna

Kim says
I’ve always said when you store something in your home you have to store it in your head too. Data has shown you can only remember 7 things before something has to go. Getting organized in 2012 for me in essential as we are packing to move. Living clutter free also frees up my mind to do the things I love to do.
Beth says
Something to inspire me would be great.
Kim says
Being organized would allow me time to enjoy my family more!
Kim says
I’ve always said when you store something in your home you have to store it in your head (to remember where you put it) I have also heard we can only remember 7 things before something has to go. So staying organized frees up my home and my mind. Since I am in the middle of getting ready to move I can use all the help there is. God Bless
Ashley Smith says
I can work hard to get clean and organized, but cannot maintain. Now its difficult to teach my girls how to keep clean and picked up. I think life will feel less stressed if cleaning wasnt in the back of our minds all of the time!
Renee Bosley says
This is exactly what I need! I feel so overwhelmed by what needs to be done that I start and never finish. I would love to know how to stay focused so that everything is organized and all I am doing is maintaining my spaces.
Shelley says
Sounds great! I can use all the help I can get!
Ruth Hill says
Organization is one of my resolutions this year. We have a hectic schedule and a home where three households have come together as one. I really need the help!
Brandy says
The program sounds great and I think it would help with my procrastination. Getting organized would help get rid of my frustrations.
Fiona says
With four demanding children, and a whirlwind of commitments, and no “Place for Everything”, If I were to get organized once and for all for 2012, then that would enable me to cease existing and start living.
kelly says
Declutter my life has become one of my priorities this year. Mainly paper clutter – I want to transition over to digital records of all my receipts, medical record & etc. And I am working to living with less stuff – finally realizing that less stuff means less stress!!
Sarah says
This sounds like a great idea!! We have a new baby, and I am always looking for good ideas to keep my house organized.
Jan says
I don’t even know where to start- it keep me up at night worrying about all the clutter- i really need help!
Mara says
I am sure coming from a long line of clutter-ers doesn’t help my family any. And I’m afraid that if I don’t get a handle on it, this generational curse will continue to trickle its way down in my family. Already my kids are content with clutter. We have to get control. I think the 21-day clutter cleanse could help me break that nasty habit once and for all!
Mary P. in Baltimore says
Wow. This program sounds heaven-sent! Getting organized in 2012 would mean no longer feeling all the energy sap out of me when I walk in the front door and see all that needs to be done and it will help bring a sense of comfort and peace to our home. The clutter often puts a strain on the relationship for my husband and I.
Sheila Smith says
Clutter overwhelms life and i hope to enjoy my life with less physical clutter. When i have physical clutter it puts a strain on everything!
Nicole says
I said yes to all of the above. If this helps it would be wonderful! Thanks!!
Jennifer says
Getting organized would certainly make my marriage better! Any arguments we have are always rooted in disorganization … {{{sigh}}}
Sharlene says
Thank you for the opportunity to win this!! I would LOVE love love this!!
Lainie Adams says
Dear Organizing Junkie,
Getting organized really has been a life long dream of mine. I hope I get better at it, but I’ve never quite made it yet. Your website is a tremendous help. Thanks for all the tips and wonderful ideas on how to make our lives easier.
Tristan says
I’ve been making progress reducing clutter in my home and my family is doing so much better because of it. I’d like to get the rest of the way there.
heather says
i desperately continue to attempt to get organized because i now get claustrophobic when i feel that there is too much stuff. i begin to feel like the stuff is closing in on me (not the room just the stuff) and my anxiety level goes through the roof. this started when my in laws moved in and fitting 5 adults (and their stuff) in a 2 bedroom house is no walk in the park.
Alissa A says
Hopefully less clutter leads to less stress! captainliss40(at)gmail(dot)com
Kathy C says
I would feel calmer and happier which would enhance all my relationships.
Sabrina Jackson @ Customized Creations says
Thank you for this opportunity. Getting organized will allow me to spend more time with my family!
Cindy says
I would love this. I a new “empty nester”, this would help me to get my house in order.
Andrea Scoville says
Pick me pick me pick me… I would soooo love to do this!
Lisa S says
stress relief! i always feel like i should be organizing or de-cluttering, and so I don’t enjoy relaxing (at least not as much as i could.)
Elizabeth Kratzer says
Since my kids are grown, 2012 is the beginning of the next part of my life, so organizing my home for what I want next is crucial this year! Thanks for the giveaway!
Christina Banks says
Wow! This would be amazing. This would give me more time to enjoy my family. Between working out of my house and taking care of a 2 year old I often feel I never get as organized as I would like to be so I can just breathe 🙂
Karen says
Getting organized is on top of both my husbands and my separate lists. I think the gift of organization
would give us all the gift of time; time to give more of ourselves, resources, we’d know what we have so we could give more and freedom from allowing the clutter to hold us back.
Heather says
This would really help me reach my goal for this year. I need to declutter and organize to simplify my life, to help me become less stressed, to ensure I have time to have fun with my family and most importantly so that my children can have friends over more often. Right now our house is such a wreck that I don’t feel like we can welcome others into our home very often. I’ve got my fingers crossed that I’m lucky enough too win this!!!!!
Michael says
New job, new place to live, new year- what better reasons then to get organized!
Jenni R says
Getting organized will help me save time that I frequently waste having to look for things!
Amanda Ryan says
I found myself nodding my head to the whole check list! I would LOVE to win this!
I made it my goal about 4 months ago to get organized (my house is under 1000 sq ft with 4 people living in it, I’m slowly losing my mind with all the clutter). I managed to get some of my cabinets/drawers in the kitchen organized, I even managed to get my bathroom cabinet (under the sink) organized and I’ve been able to keep them organized since, which has been great! But I’ve totally lost my motivation, not that I don’t want to be organized, but work picked up and I haven’t had much time at home, when I am home, I’m either spending quality time with my toddlers or too exhausted to take on organizing. I really think that this would be just the kick in the pants I need to get going again.
Denny says
My husband and I are starting a new business. If i’m organized here at the start, I might stay organized as we go along. Helping to balance all the tasks of work and personal life is a huge challenge. When I mention to my husband that we ought to do some task, I get “the look,” meaning, I suppose, when and where are we going to do this? I guess it narrows down to reducing stress, too. Thanks for doing this!
Lori says
I would love to get organized. I know you cannot organize clutter, but I have lots of craft items that need to be organized so I can actually create something. It would be wonderful to walk into my craft room and smile instead of frown! Smiles….
Annette M. says
I am having a mental breakdown. I just got engaged on Dec. 31st (bringing in the New Year with bang) but I am surrounded in my small room with unorganized documents all around me (inside every hidden compartment in my room, not on my bed, LOL). We would like to get married by this summer or early fall so sitting in my unorganized room does not give me the mental peace I need to focus on the wedding plans. I find myself starting a task but then I sit back trying to figure out how to get rid of the clutter which surrounds me so that I am not concerned about adding onto the mess. This is taking away all focus from me and I need serious help. HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!
Anne L says
We want to have another baby, but we have too much “stuff” and not enough room!
Leigh Anne Langston says
Participating in the cleanse will give me that fresh start. I recently went back to work full time and need some help to readjust my habits. Since it takes 21 days to unlearn and relearn habits, it would be a fantastic opportunity. Thank you.
Tanya Ashley says
My husband and I got married in July and have just moved into our new house. We have our own things from before we lived together plus our new things for the house, including wedding gifts. We got rid of 2 truck loads of “stuff” we no longer wanted or used over the Christmas holidays. It felt great to let it go and I thought it would make a difference but there is still a huge need to re-organize and de-clutter. This would be a great opportunity to continue with the progress we’ve made so far!
Margo says
Getting my home really organized in most every area will really cut down on mental clutter (as well as physical clutter), one less thing in life to contribute to stress and chaos, as life is full of lots of that anyway without adding to it!
Wendy says
Getting organized now will making moving into a new house (hopefully in 2012!!) much easier!! 🙂
Melanie Blanton says
We just moved back into our home and have a lot of stuff to get rid of and just clean up. Our children are now all at college and we are empty nesters who want to spend our free time together not cleaning!!
KHBride says
My husband and I are both clutter junkies! We are both in grad school and desperately need help to keep our house clean and clutter free
Jeannine B. says
I think getting organized will help me feel more relaxed and happy. And, it will help me reach my financial and weight loss goals! Thanks for an amazing giveaway!
Angela Glidewell says
Homeschooling my 6 children living in a Single wide trailer with my children bringing home trinkets everyday. I just want to live organized and simply.
Becky says
I fall under that inability to balance work and home. I think getting organized will help me keep things clean and be more peaceful overall
Kristina Carter says
Thanks for the giveaway! Being organized would help me spend more time with the family!
Analia Rawlings says
My goal for the new year is to have a clean & organized house. I would love to win the 21-day clutter cleanse giveaway!. It would help me to get rid of clutter & get organized. Everyday I look at the clutter & it makes me depressed!. I would be able to find things when I need them, & know where my important things are, I would have a place for everything, & that would make me so happy, instead of depressed!. I would feel at peace, instead of anxiety & stress. My husband would be happy to come home to a orderly home. It would make a huge impact in our lives to have a organized home. I love your blog, thank you for all the inspiration!.
Laura says
I am a young wife and mom and clutter is driving me up the wall. I work full time about 60 hours a week. I try to spend most of the rest of my time loving on my 19 month old and my husband. I desperately want to get the clutter problem under control in order to spend more quality time with my family!
Karen R. says
I don’t even know where to begin! Instead of a New Year’s resolution I have just about given up on everything! My house is cluttered and my heart is cluttered and I do not know where to start on either!! I would love to win this package.
Francie says
Sounds like at great way to start the new year!!
Yael says
I can follow diets to lose weight but haven’t found an “organization diet” that will work for my family. I certainly hope this is it because waking up to find my 3 year old has made art projects out of her paired socks and emptied her pantie drawer is killing me. And with a 7 month old getting ready to crawl this house needs to get ship-shaped. Wish us luck 🙂
Yael says
I can follow diets to lose weight but haven’t found an “organization diet” that will work for my family. My husband is a genius but can’t find our kitchen sink or a laundry basket. My 3 year old loves RE-organizing but she’s a creative dumper. We’ve got a 7 month old who is getting ready to crawl and if I can’t get us organized I’m going to keep my son in his exersaucer until he’s ready for college. Please help us.
Amanda says
Thanks for the opportunity – getting this place organized would enable me to keep it cleaner and have more space for kids and dogs to play.
Patti M. says
I have been feeling all of those things……. In the last 15 minutes. I need the clarity that organization gives me to function correctly and I’m finding that the tools and time to achieve it are out of my grasp. This sounds not only like a guide to the help I need but also an affirmation that I don’t suffer these feelings alone!
Tamara Hunter says
I need to get better organized in 2012 so that my life can feel uncluttered!
Nicole Plauman says
ORGANIZATION? What organization. My family does not have organization and are in need of an organization makeover!
dorothy says
Thanks for this great opportunity. I’d love to create a more organized space in our home to make room for the people here–a house for people with a little stuff instead of a house full of stuff and the people squeeze in somewhere.
Carolynn @mylittlebitoflife.com says
I feel like I’m making ground, but there are areas that always seem to overwhelm me. Also, I get one area organized to turn around and see that another area is out of control. I’m very sentimental so I have a hard time getting rid of things. When I feel like I’m making progress, then I find out that something that I really need is missing! I’m tired of being agitated! 🙂
Amanda Severyn says
I want to feel the freedom from the burden of clutter! I am hopful in 2012!
Resa says
Clutter clogs and constipates every area of life. It needs to be cleansed. Help!!!!!
Tina Bartlett says
I love to have an organized house…some areas are easier than others, but it seems just as you get it “looking nice”, life happens, you cooked dinner, help with homework, laundry and sit down to relax. Whoa! what happen, I just had this clean 3 hours ago.
Would love help to getting it consistently “under control”!!
Kim @ Homesteader's Heart says
I feel like I’m always in a constant state of purging. I’d like to be organized once and for all. Thanks for the chance to win.
Kim

Organizing is ALWAYS on my list of “to do’s”, not just in January, but throughout the year. With a new baby due soon and then having three kids, a husband and a dog, I need to get my house together sooner rather than later! What a great way to do it!! 🙂
Melissa Champion Hurst says
Order is actual one of the 12 values I have selected to focus on during 2012 (I’m calling it my 12 in 2012).
I decided to start the year by focusing on order since being organized will give me more time to focus on the rest of the year’s values!
Serena says
An organized life brings peace! Bring it on!
Patti says
I feel like I’ve been going around in circles organizing. Obviously what I’m doing isn’t working for me, I would love to do this and get some focus with organizing.
Luanne says
Oh my goodness! I have been struggling with too much stuff/too little space issues here and trying to find good, sensible, usable solutions… but I need HELP! This clutter-a-holic would sooo benefit from the 21-Day Clutter Cleanse!! Thanks for the chance to win it!
Ashlea says
I would LOVE to win this 21-Day Clutter Cleanse! Not only would this cleanse my home, it would cleanse my SOUL!
Ruth Myers says
I get SOOOOO stressed when things get disorganized and cluttered. I hope to get things under control this year….SOON! I would love to win this!
Corinne says
Getting organized will help me spend more time with my daughter because I won’t be spending so much time trying to find things!
Anita says
I have just recently retired and although I thought I could get organized and start decluttering my home, I have found it very difficult. Maybe winning this 21-Day Clutter Cleanse will motivate me and get my stuff organized and clutter free!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Debber says
Thank you for doing this! I was a single, quite organized girl living in a small space. i’m now married (and happy to be so!!), living with 3 men and a cat, and there is never organization within our home. I am striving to find a new system and a way to come to peace with my old way and my new life. This would be incredible and a great way to start the new year. Thank you!
Amanda Talbert says
It would give me more time to spend with my family!
Jackie McKenzie says
Winning this would be such a blessing! Between a demanding job, a home constantly under renovation, and a rambunctious three year old the house seems to constantly need organizing!. I can totally relate to the point you clean up/organize and then the kids come in and mess it up. I hope I win!
Cynthia says
Getting organized in 2012 will give me back the joy that the stress of having a mess has stolen. It will also allow me to spend more time with my family and the ability to focus on starting my home-based business. Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
Jennifer A. says
I think getting better organized in 2012 would give me more peace and serenity. I am so tired of trying to rest in my bedroom and being surrounded by piles of “stuff”.
Kelli says
I so need this! I am not an organized person and need all the help I can get!
Kari Akers says
I can relate to so many of the reasons why: I actually hide stacks of papers and books to do a quick clean, thinking I will come back to them to put them in their proper place. I don’t. I never want people over to my house because I always feel like its a mess. And when I get home at night I’m so tired I just don’t know where to begin. I need HELP
Angela Coel says
Im a clutter bug to start with. Now I’m trying to manage the care of my in laws long distance. My father in law had a stroke and all kinds of paper work. I’m drowning in mail, paperwork and things not getting done.
Christie says
Every morning I avoid toys as soon as I walk out my bedroom door. I come home from work and immediately see toys in the living room, only a path to walk around for carpet.
I have been working on a ‘home binder’ for about a year compiling the forms I want but can’t seem to get them all working together.
I’ve, just today, come across a 12 month (daily) schedule to decluttering and am looking forward to trying it.
I think with a less cluttered house I’d have more time to actually have a decluttered house. I seem to spend all my time on the planning of decluttering and organizing.
Melissa says
Less clutter = more time spent with my boys and less time cleaning.
Lisa Duncan says
We’re going to be moving into a new house in less than two months. I’m sitting here staring at all of the clutter and such that I need to pack. I hate moving, but I’m excited to go through things and throw away or donate things that I do not need. I honestly don’t know where to start. However, I’m excited about the move as we will have more space. I plan on trying not to “collect things” at the new house even though there will be more space. I want it to look homey and comfy and “lived” in, but not be overwhelmed with items all over. This is how I plan to de-clutter. Thank you for the chance to win this!!
Sasha says
I really could
Joan says
2012 will bring a house filll of organisation, time spent on me and less clutter in my life. The kids at the moment dont play with all there toys cause they cant find them so going to re look at how there rooms operate and how i can improve it so they know where to put there toys back.
All the little fix it jobs need to be done this year so being able to find things to do these will make life easier to convince hubby to help me.
So this challenge will help me greatly
Sarah says
Why do these newer posts not show up on the blog roll?

less clutter around = less clutter in my head!

Your 21 Day Clutter Cleanse I hope will help me to accomplish what I have set out to do so many times before but always end up putting off because of other priorities, being overwhelmed and just too tired to deal with it. I hope it will help me as I clean out a basement filled with stuff from my parents who have passed away, my childhood long gone and twenty years of marriage and two children now 14 and 10. I hope it will help me to organize my office space so I am more productive. I hope it will create a home that is warm, inviting and rises up to meet us everyday. I turn 50 next month and I want to simplify, feel less stressed and finally be able to accomplish those things that I have put off for far too long. Thank you.

Claudia says
I’ve always thought I was a very organized person…. until I had twins. Now I have three kids 5 and under and expecting my 4th. I Get really depressed when I realize I am not that very organized person I always thought. I really need some guidance to come back to the surface of which Im sinking in. Thank you for the chance.
Ria Hurst says
I NEED HELP.
I’d call myself a paper hoarder which then inturn overflows my closets. On the outside I hate cutter! I like clean clutter free surfaces. So guess where it all ends up… The closets, I seriously have an entire closet overflowing of projects my kids did at school or art class, or with me. Another closet is filled with photos, frames and albums, but no order. It is just OVERBOARD, but I honestly can’t let them go, or figure out how to organize and maintain. So I desperately need your help! I have committed all next week to getting clutter free! I’m kind of hoping for a miricle that I’ll actually be able clean out all my papers & closets. So I’m begging for your help!! I need the sanity and simplicity of having organization in my home!
