** Please note: This workshop is in session but you are welcome to join now (and we’d love to have you!) If you need a holiday plan, you’ve come to the right place. After Lesson 3 is released on November 17th, we take a break from lesson content until December 26th, giving you time to take action on the lesson concepts at your own pace, regardless of when you begin.

This online workshop is the ultimate holiday planning workshop. Start making your plans for a joyful (and stress-free!) holiday season in early November. We’ll create a holiday planning binder loaded with holiday planning forms, checklists, and best of all, a customized holiday plan that focuses on what’s most important to you and your family. Then, learn how to weed-out and simplify your less meaningful holiday tasks, freeing-up time to truly enjoy and savor those activities that make the holidays most special to you. Plus, get simple tips and ideas to implement your plan so you stay energized and joyful all season long!

The online workshop forum and gallery will stay open the entire holiday season—from November through early January (10 weeks in all!)—giving you ongoing access to holiday ideas and support from the simplify 101 online community, and Aby Garvey, our resident professional organizer. Then, when the holidays end, get simple ideas to clear out your holiday clutter!

If your post holiday clutter typically leaves you feeling overwhelmed (and over-stuffed!) you’ll love the final two lessons of this workshop. These lessons (made available the day after Christmas!) will show you simple strategies to quickly reclaim your home and your life so you can easily get back to pre-holiday order. Create space for all your new stuff; store your holiday decorations safely and efficiently; and reflect on the past holiday season so next year will be even better!

In all you will:

Figure what’s most important to you and your family to have a joyful holiday season.

Create a holiday planner and fill it up with printable forms and worksheets that will organize all aspects of your holiday preparations. (View planner supply list here.)

Create a customized holiday plan so you can get it all done. You’ll be organized, prioritized and energized!
