Amanda Jane, please email your full names plus your postal address to me asap, but definitely before Friday 1pm EST.
Thanks so much for playing along – if you didn’t win, get your Kindle or Amazon copy of Clutter Rehab – you won’t be disappointed.
I have good news and bad news.
The bad news is that the second person who was selected to win Clutter Rehab has also not contacted me.
I think both of the winners just saw the giveaway and came over to enter but don’t actually follow my blog.
The good news is that YOU have another chance to win this fabulous book.
Let’s try again.
Here are the rules:
Fair?
Now on another note, I was SO inspired the other day when I read this post by Chloe.
If you’ve ever bought any of my products or coached with me, you’ll know how much I emphasise that we are all unique individuals and our organising or time management solutions need to reflect that.
And something I posted recently resonated with Chloe so much that she wrote a truly inspiring post.
Why I loved it so much
Chloe gets a big thumbs up from me and no, I don’t have a pretty picture this week (aside from her header) but in this case, her changed expectations of herself are worth far more and are priceless.
And of course, don’t forget to enter the giveaway.
While I was reading through all the comments on the Clutter Rehab giveaway post, I noticed an interesting trend.
A lot of us favour the good old notebook and pen (or pencil) as our organising tool of choice.
I love it.
That is all.
No, not quite 😉
I brought home my work notebook and a new notebook this weekend to sort out so that I’m all set for 1 August next week.
Do you know why?
Because even after ALL these years, I still constantly flirt with different organising systems within the notebook and pen system.
It’s not that they don’t work for me; they do. It’s just that I know myself and when something starts being a bit annoying, I’m less likely to use it and then the overwhelm starts.
Which is exactly what happened.
The smaller size blue notebook I had been using, while exceptionally cute, is just not big enough for my daily notes. The lines on the page are also not spacious enough for my medium-size handwriting.
All this to say, don’t beat yourself up about having one system and sticking to it consistently.
I’ve said many times on the blog that part of organising is tweaking.
This weekend, consider your planning tool.
Is it working for you? If not, what needs to change?
And now, onto the winner.
I used random.org…
and the winner is Jacinta who said this:
Jacinta, please email me with your postal address by no later by Tuesday 2nd otherwise I’ll have to choose another winner.
Thanks, everyone, for playing along.
Have a WONDERFUL weekend!
This giveaway is now closed! Winner will be announced later today.
It’s an honour for me to feature my friend, Laura’s book on my blog.
We actually go way back – we both started our blogs in 2006 but of course, hers is a TRILLION times more popular than mine – and we both hear baskets calling out to us 🙂
Actually, when she blogged about how the baskets call her name, that’s when I knew we were kindred spirits!
Of course I’m talking about the Organizing Junkie, Laura Wittman, and her book, Clutter Rehab.
I finished this book in just *two days because of the following:
* Confession – I could have finished it the same day but unfortunately, I had to get up and go to work 🙂
Laura and I have very similar viewpoints, like you don’t need to spend a lot of money to get organised and it’s not about having a perfect home, but a comfortable home for you and your family.
So…. I have good news.
I’m giving away a copy of Clutter Rehab on my blog.
They will post it to wherever you are so this giveaway is open to EVERYONE, anywhere in the world.
The giveaway will be open for ONE WEEK until Thursday 28th 12 pm EST (6 pm South African time). I’ll choose a winner through random.org, announce it on the blog and you have one week to send me your email address, so make sure you’re reading.
And…. go comment!
PS I’ll be giving my own copy away at my Inspired workshop in Johannesburg next month. I know someone else would love it and my copy is as new (I’m a book freak).
