Simplify 101

If we do not have peace with our surroundings, we can’t have joy. This is the major message of Aby Garvey, who teaches online workshops in organization, available at www.simplify101.com.

Aby has always had a knack for organizing, and she is passionate about teaching people how to create order from chaos. She attempts to make organization accessible and believes it doesn’t have to be tedious or boring. It can be fun! Sometimes clutter seems so overwhelming, but Aby wants to help everyone realize that there are real benefits in creating systems and habits. Her workshops help build the foundations that will become those habits—through hands-on and interactive activities to help get you organized. After all, one of Aby’s favorite saying is: Action creates change.

Workshop titles include: Organization 101, Get Organized for the Holidays, and Organize Your Closet. Aby’s excited about offering a new workshop in January called, How to Achieve Your Goals and Create the Life you Love.

The beauty of the online workshops is flexibility. You can attend “class” anywhere there’s an internet connection—which means you can access your weekly lesson materials at 2 a.m. if you want! Additionally, workshop materials are presented in pictures, text, and video format, to accommodate a variety of learning styles. Also, the online forum means you’ll be able to interact with workshop participants from many walks of life and diverse areas of the country, too. Plus, you get access to a professional in-home organizing expert at a fraction of the cost! Aby finds that people often take her workshops again, in order to maintain the good habits they started and to have access to the online community. Aby offers an alumni discount: people taking a workshop again can do so for half the cost.
