      I have started organizing my house (and life) but have so far to go. Just when I think I am catching up on the paper and clutter that comes home daily with me and my kids a whole new pile arrives and all my progress is gone – sigh. I would love to take this class – thanks for the chance!

      Colleen F on January 15th, 2010 7:20 am

      I really need to learn how to organize. My house is such a mess, partially because I am never home anymore, but mostly because I just can’t seem to find a way to get things put in their place and then to make them stay put.

      Rachel on January 15th, 2010 8:38 am

      DEBorah Buckingham on January 15th, 2010 9:49 am

At the moment, I’m running my own business from home, looking after my dh’s business paperwork, I have a 5 month old & 3 months ago found out my mom is terminally ill & I’m trying to look after her too. I’ve never needed to be more organized more in my life. Thank you.

      Thank you for the information about this online seminar. I like to organize, and have certain things at my home that are easy to organize, but other areas I just cannot tackle. It sounds like Aby will help me come up with a plan and be able to implement it on my own! Thanks again!!

      Courtney Fisher on January 15th, 2010 1:53 pm

      This would be an awesome class for me to take. I love to help others with organization ideas and I have, what I think, are good ideas in my head for organizing my house. However, when I go to oranize it gets lost in translation. I have a 2800 sq ft house and I can’t seem to find a place for everything. I don’t have very much clutter laying around my house. But, I always have that feeling of things being disorganized. This class could help me figure it all out and more.
      Thanks for the fun give away!
      Courtney

      EmilyKate on January 15th, 2010 1:55 pm

    103
      Rebecca on January 15th, 2010 4:52 pm

      Wow! I LOVE things in their proper place but have trouble getting there. Figuring out the WHY that I can’t get where I want/need to be would be phenomenal! I’ve never thought of that aspect…. the WHY! Would so benefit from this! Can’t wait to hear more! Thank you!


    104
      Angela Deitrick on January 15th, 2010 4:55 pm

      Organization has always been a challange for me. My parents never taught me and having ADHD as well as fetal alchohl syndrome doesn’t make it any easier. I have tried several routines and just like all of the others they all have burned and bit the dust so in short I could really use it. Thanks..


    105
      Susan Lenes on January 15th, 2010 5:48 pm

      I have started to organize our house, as we are seriously considering adding a fourth child to the family ( God willing) and one of the “things” on my to-do list is to REALLY get organized, not just clean, but a system in place to keep it that way just in case we add another bundle of joy!

      I just really need this! I can’t tell you what a blessing it would be. I need to make some change in my life & I know this is one of the first. It comes so natural for some & some it has to be taught. That is me… Thanks for the opportunity.

      I would really like to participate in this workshop as I seem to do more cluttering then organizing and would love for this year to be my organizing year and would really appreciate the help.

      Thank-you so very much for the opportunity :)

      Dianne on January 16th, 2010 12:02 am

      Part of my house is organized and decluttered, and there are other parts of it that I can’t seem to get motivated enough to do anything about. Would love to attend this online workshop!

      Anna Banana on January 16th, 2010 12:39 am

      This is a great giveaway! My house and my office are getting consumed by clutter! I’m fighting the tide and TRYING to get everyone to pick up after themselves, but it’s an ordeal!! This would be wonderful to help me keep my sanity and my house in order. Thanks for giving this opportunity out to someone who really needs it!


    123
      Rachel on January 16th, 2010 12:48 am

      sounds like just what I need to get me started on the right path. 3 children, a husband and a home office seems to cover me in clutter. Thanks for the opportunity.


    124
      Megan @MNMSpecial on January 16th, 2010 1:52 am

      I feel like I am in the early stages of hoarding and my husband has rented a dumpster and parked it on my driveway…I feel like crying because I am just missing something to keep it all together. Maybe it’s follow through, but I am stuck on redo, lol.
      Thanks


    125
      Jenny on January 16th, 2010 2:54 am

      Sounds like a great workshop!


    126
      Kathryn Crane on January 16th, 2010 4:27 am

      You have no idea how much I need something like this. Lately my husband has started muttering that he needs a housewife who can keep house, and that maybe he should look for one. I have the best of intentions. I start 20 things, but if I finish one, it’s almost a miracle. We moved into our house a year ago, and I never have finished painting, or unpacking. I hoard some of the silliest things. Of course, I hoard other things that aren’t so silly. I have piles and piles of things stacked on counters, in corners, and hidden under the bed. Lately, it’s depressing me, so I just close the door and go to another room instead of attempt, one more time, to get things under control. I hope that there is hope for me. This could be it!


    127
      Pam on January 16th, 2010 4:46 am

      Trying my hardest to get organized, my craft room is in the basement. Seems like everytime I get motivated to organized I get overwhelmed on where to start, I end up shaking my head and going to another room. I would love to win this giveaway


    128

      I could really use this. I took one of Aby’s classes a while ago. It was excellent, but life kind of got in the way of my progress. Would love to try again now that things have settled down for me.


    134
      Mara on January 16th, 2010 7:09 am

      My life and house is so out of control. We generally don’t let people into the house because it’s so cluttered and crammed full to too much stuff. I really need to get my house in order and would love to win.


    135
      Heather on January 16th, 2010 7:11 am

      While I am trying to stick to my winter goals of decluttering, I could really use some extra help!


    136
      KD on January 16th, 2010 7:38 am

      Got the containers, the motivation, but 3 moves in 2 years has me out of ideas again. Every room to set up, revise and then it’s time to leave and my ability to find things leads to lost time and much frustration. Some help would go a long way!

      Sharon K on January 16th, 2010 8:36 am

      Six months ago we moved as my husband was promoted (yeah!). Now I’m struggling to fit all my ‘old’ stuff into a new place. Add to that the fact that we have downsized a bit (1000 sq ft) and we still have all our kids things (both are in college). I’m overwhelmed by trying to update the house to our tastes, find a place for everything, and determine what I need to keep, toss, or give away. Haven’t made any real friends yet so I’m lacking on support/help for someone other than hubby! Help…


    140
      Jane on January 16th, 2010 8:37 am

      I need help! For the last 11 years I have been living in chaos. My biggest wish is for my kids to not to have to spend their whole lives in this kind of a home. I am proud to say I have conquered the bedrooms, and it feels so good… Wow, I actually have a nice master bedroom! I know that I can do it, and would love to win a class!


    141
      Annette G on January 16th, 2010 8:42 am

      Jane T on January 16th, 2010 2:02 pm

      If you could see my place, you would definitely know that I need to take this class. I am so ADD that I never get a room done because finding something in one room, taking it to the other room, getting going in the other room, and the vicious circle goes round again. Nothing done.

      Erica on January 16th, 2010 9:18 pm

      I’m constantly organizing and re-organizing. It’s like my solution never completely works and it’s so frustrating. I’d love to know how to plan, start organizing and complete projects. I have a one year old and time is just so precious. We’ve merged 2 households and there just seems to be stuff everywhere. I hope this organizing workshop could get me on the right path!


    173

      As a sufferer of depression, organization has not been high on my priority list. I am tired of my house being cluttered and inefficient. It is time I move organization to the top of my priority list once again and this workshop will help me figure out where to begin.


    180
      Gina on January 17th, 2010 6:59 am

      I have the same issue as The Mommy Robot above (depression). I find that keeping my home organized helps me greatly during times of stress, but it is so hard to keep it that way with three small kids running around! I’d love to learn some long-term strategies.


    181
      Geeta on January 17th, 2010 7:15 am

      O my, do I need this class! 9 moves in the last 20 years, I still have boxes from move #5 or is it 6? My husband has been muttering about getting a housewife who can actually keep a house.Add to the equation a parttime, 6 days a week job, 2 teens, a 3yr old and a husband who wants things done just so.Every Christmas I have the best intentions of decluttering/going through all the boxes, etc but the day to day stuff is so overwhelming that after 2/3 days my best intentions just fizzle out. Would love to get some help and direction. Thanks for the opportunity.


    182
      Paulette on January 17th, 2010 7:54 am

    188
      Sandy Hausler on January 17th, 2010 10:45 am

      Aby’s Workshops look amazing. I love the idea of learning at home. Don’t need to waste a day driving to a couple day workshop/seminar, spending cash eatting out, having my headache from info overload/cramming. Fab. What a great give away.


    189

      Michelle on January 17th, 2010 1:07 pm

      When my dad had a stroke last October, the kids and I moved there and lived out of few suitcases for 2 months! It was liberating to be away from so much “stuff” and to have my life and priorities organized. Now that we’re home, I’ve purged so much, but having trouble fine tuning the art of truly simple, organized liberated living!


    194
      Denise on January 17th, 2010 1:15 pm

      My entire life I’ve been unorganized. I LOVE reading about organizational supplies and tips and one of my favorite stores is The Container Store, but it’s never been something I’ve been able to accomplish. My mom’s house is unorganized (bordering on unhealthy) and I don’t want to follow the same path. Please, please, please help!

      Finally moving into my own place with my boyfriend after many years, and I want to make sure we don’t blow through money, buy things we already have, that sort of thing.

      Amy on January 18th, 2010 9:47 am

      Could so use this – every time I try to clean and organize my room I just seems to end up with new piles of clutter – I know there has to be a better way!

      Hello! I am new to your site~first day!! I am a mother of 4yr old twin boys who used to be organized when I was newly married and worked 40 +hours and attended school full time. Since I am now a stay at home mom I seem to have lost my mind as well as my organizing skills and seriously can not remember how I used to do it all! We moved into a new home 4 yrs ago (when the boys were 6 months old) and I still can not find anything and seem to shuffle stuff from one place to the next continuously. I would really like to be able to attend this seminar. Thank you for the opportunity to win a seat! I look forward to more from Org Junkies.

      Being the mother of 6 children ranging in ages 3 1/2 to 20 my home has become very unorganized and cluttered over time. I do not like it… I like order! I started following FlyLady & she has helped quite a bit but, I need to move on from there… I’d love to find a system for organizing my whole family & home! Thanks for the opportunity!

      We just had our third child, and I am able to stay-at-home this time, as I could not do with our first two. While I am excited about finally going through things and organizing everything, I really don’t even know where to begin. However, I don’t have the resources to pay for these lessons, so I am REALLY hoping to win! Thank you!!!


    232
      Amy on January 18th, 2010 7:18 pm

      I’d love to win! I love organizing, but need a lot of help!

      As a mother of 4 year old twins, an 8 year old, wife to a husband and 1st grade teacher, I can use all the help I can get. I feel like I’m always giving to somebody but my reserves are getting low. I’m busy busy and feel like I’m in an organizing rut and need things to run much more smoothly around here and in my classroom so my stress level can drop from a daily 10 to something more reasonable! Help!

      I feel out of breathe! I happened to stumble across your website looking for coupon sorter categories. I know I will feel indebted to you for choosing me to be the person to fill the seat in this free online organizing 101 class. I have recently been laid off and have been really been wanting to find a new path and one that I can really enjoy and love while doing so that it would not feel so ‘work’ like. Both my husband and I came from families that did not have a lot of emphasis on tidiness nor organization. It is a area in my life that I have always tried (on my own) to achieve. I have just recently had a light bulb go off and am starting the process of looking at being a professional organizer. Although this time, with some help, training and mentoring (I have an call in to my husband’s EAP to set up an apt to go through career counseling to find out if this would in fact be a good path for me. At the same time by doing lots of research I know I will have fun and be doing something for myself (for a change) and for my family. So the reason that I feel out of breathe is that looking around on your website I realized that I feel a lot like you do when you talk about ‘What I love most about organizing is the “high” I get from it so I am always looking for my next “fix”…’ I feel like you were verbalizing my exact thougthts. Watching your YouTube video on ‘How I Became an Organizing Machine’; I felt like I came home. And energized and excited :)

      Thank you for this opportunity to change my life around in many ways.
