My workspace is getting a little cluttered… May need to start thinking a little more seriously about a new desk with drawers.
(Posted with the iPhone WordPress app version 2.8 – with the Quick Photo feature. As a note, I had to come back and resize the photo since it posted the largest version originally.)
Corey from Simple Marriage and Mandi from Life…Your Way have brought together a super sweet e-book package for those interested in simplifying your family (and your life).
When purchased separately, these ebooks are worth over $450, but for four days only, you can purchase the entire collection for just $47.
Corey’s become a great friend over the last few months as we’ve chatted both online and off-line about a variety of great things. I love his heart and posture and I’m proud to help promote his work (You can listen to his story over at the something beautiful podcast).
But as I mentioned above, there’s a catch… This collection is only available from 2 p.m. on March 21st to 2 p.m. on March 24th March 25th. There will be no late sales offered.
I shared this on We Live Simply earlier this week and wanted to be sure I shared it here as well for those of you who may not read both sites.
I think it’s time to let the cat out of the bag and help push my motivation forward towards finishing my new book.
While writing posts for We Live Simply, I’ve also slowly been working on my next book, Destroying the Warehouse Mentality: Stop hoarding and declutter your life.
While I wrote my last book (a novel) in a month, this one is taking a bit longer to come together.
So I’m hoping that by putting this information out there, it will give me an even greater incentive to see it through.
But I’ve set a goal for its completion and hope to have it ready for publication by early Fall (hopefully before the twins arrive!).
So far I plan on tackling these areas of clutter:
Buying into a $154 billion industry
Decluttering your home
Decluttering your office
Decluttering your digital life
Decluttering your time
But I’m definitely open to ideas and input — especially from those of you who have struggled with your own clutter, or the clutter of someone else.
I’m also interested in hearing some of your stories on how you’ve dealt with clutter as well.
If you’d like to share your story or offer input on the book, feel free to leave me a comment or e-mail me at editor @ welivesimply.info.
Isn’t it amazing how complicated we can make things?
We’re always trying to find an easy solution to things and yet in the end we end up filling things with junk and clutter we don’t need and doing more damage than good
Diet fads, home exercise equipment, the latest electronic gadget that puts us further in debt.
