I need all the organizational help that I can get.
I need to stay organized as my husband and i live in a 1000 sq. ft house with no basement or garage.
As much as I’m known for being a planner, I still feel like I’m never organized! I think I sometimes make things harder than they need to be, and I’d love an easy reference to break my bad habits and put my new condo into shape!
Why do I want to win? Because it’s more fun than losing.
Because I’m always ‘up’ to learning and implementing new ideas for organization.
Win? I moved from a 2600sq ft home, into a 1200 sq ft home, let the hubby have it all!! Now where do I put all this STUFF
This book would be very helpful… that is if I don’t lose it in the piles of clutter around here.
Because I need to learn how to not be such a clutterbug!
Maybe it will help me know what to do with all of my husband’s clutter!
Clutter just “clutters” the mind!
Their magazine is so great…I’m sure the book is superb.

I’m currently having to organize my parents house which they have lived in for over 45 years. *insert help sign here* My mom is a pack rat and my dad has no patience.
This book is just what the doctor ordered!
When my daughter was five my parents took her from me due to my alcoholism. I moved to florida April 4 2007, the day my daughter turned 19, with 10 1/2 years sobriety, my car payed off and money saved for the move after years of working two and three jobs.
mothers day 2008 I saw her get her associates degree with 3.8 GPA. Even though she lives five minutes from me, she sent me a card saying thanks for being at my college graduation, standing beside me and cheering me on. I still have bad days and problems like I was just layed off work. I can use anything that will make my days easier
I need this to simplify my hectic life.

I used to think myself as being organized and staying on top of things, but as my life gets more cluttered and more complicated, I realized I could use some practical and useful advice. I proably have read 10 books on how to get, be, stay organized and none of them offered real solutions for real people. Having read and relished the Real Simple Magazine, I’m sure this book will really help anyone who is lucky enough to win it, and I sure hope I am one of them.

I really struggle staying organized so this book could really give me some helpful advice that I might actually follow!
HELP! My husband and I have moved twice in the past-year. One of those moves was cross-country. I was working a job with long hours and lots of travel. So I was never able to get organized to begin with. Now I have boxes and boxes of “stuff” that we moved. I am dreading sorting thru these boxes and getting the house setup. I have time now that I am no longer working, but need some organizational assistance.
Thank you for the possibility…:)
