Help for the holidays

24 November 2009

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m really lucky because we never host Thanksgiving dinner, so Thanksgiving isn’t a holiday I have to get ready for. My husband even does the cooking for our contribution to dinner. But I know I’m unusual. Many people are looking around the house this week, thinking of what they have to do to whip it into shape for guests.

If you’re one of those folks, I implore you resist the urge to gather up your stuff and stash it away. That’s a short-term solution with long-term consequences. Rather, I urge you to take the time to actually do a little decluttering in the process of getting your house ready. And I’m even offering some help: the Quick Clutter Fix. It’s a free eight-minute audio from me and my Declutter Happy Hour partner, Shannon Wilkinson. It also includes a free pdf of the seven-step process I introduce to handle your clutter emergency without hiding stuff from yourself.

So that’s Thanksgiving. What about Christmas? There’s so much to do for Christmas, and, for most folks, decluttering is among the least enjoyable of the many tasks. That’s why Shannon and I are offering a holiday special on Declutter Happy Hour. If you purchase it between now and Friday, you’ll get $20 off. As soon as you buy it and confirm your subscription, you’ll get the first of 28 daily emails. By the time Christmas rolls around, you’ll have received four weeks of advice, support and inspiration for your decluttering efforts. (That’s right, Christmas is only 31 days from today.)

I have a third way for you to get some very special, customized help. The aforementioned Shannon is a life coach. She’s my life coach. And she’s amazing. She’s able to help me make shifts that eliminate emotional barriers to action. It truly feels like magic.

So here’s the thing. It’s a good news/bad news thing. The bad news is that Shannon has developed carpal tunnel syndrome and she can’t type. This is making her crazy and it’s opened up some time on her calendar for the next couple of weeks while she heals. The good news is that she can talk on the phone. So she’s offering a Carpal Tunnel Coaching Special between now and December 4. With this special you can get an hour-long phone coaching session for only $99. (That’s just over half her regular price.) This could be a life-changing hour, believe me. I urge you to jump at the chance. All the details are on her website. I imagine the slots will go fast!

So there you have, it three ways to help you get ready for the holidays if clutter is standing in the way of you and your holiday peace and joy. The holidays don’t have to be stressful with help so readily available.
