Sorry to be inundating you with giveaways and random talk about things to buy. However I know many of you who read here have found me through Big Picture Classes and so I wanted to let you know that I have a new workshop that’s opening on December 1.

This is a workshop I wrote and taught in 2009. When I wrote Finding Your Way last year, it was as a response to the Layout a Day I did and how it changed my life. I wrote the course after my scrapbooking process was transformed. This class was the other way around. Writing this class actually changed my life. It made me take a good, hard look at how I am spending my time and what I want to be doing with my rare and precious minutes in my day.

Here’s part of what I wrote in the description for the class:

“You will never find time for anything. If you want time, you must make it.”

On the surface, this workshop is about time. Specifically, about how you spend your time. But, in reality, it’s about so much more than that: reclaiming time to use it as you WANT to live your life.

If you ask me, time is the great equalizer. We each get 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. That’s 1,440 minutes, every single day. Let’s say you sleep a generous 8 hours a day; that still leaves you with 960 precious minutes every day. How you spend those minutes adds up to how you spend your life. Don’t you want to spend those 960 minutes doing the things you most love doing?

“Realize that now, in this moment of time, you are creating. You are creating your next moment. That is what’s real.”

This is an unusual class for a few reasons:

1. There are 4 week’s worth of lessons but they will be spread over December and January to give you time to observe the holidays, take a break, and still be able to go through the lessons.
2. I think it’s important to do this class in December-January time-frame because it’s a common time to make resolutions and I think this class will transform how you make resolutions.
3. The class is mostly exercises that involve tracking, thinking and brainstorming. And then making resolutions/plans. There is a minibook but if you don’t have time to create that, in my opinion, the biggest value of the class is doing the work, not the minibook.
4. This class will be open all of 2012 with monthly check-ins from me to ensure you (and I) stay on track and can address issues that creep up throughout the year.

I can promise you that if you do the work, this class will change your life.

If you’re on the fence and waiting, I urge you to take it because I may never teach it again. I often have people email me after the deadline passes and I feel terrible telling people that it’s too late. I don’t want to offend anyone and you certainly don’t have to sign up but I wanted to be upfront about my schedule.

If you have questions about the class, don’t hesitate to leave me a comment or email me. I will gladly answer any questions. I try to only teach classes that I feel strongly about so I have no problem giving as much information as you need to decide one way or another.

I am giving away one seat in my class today. Like last week, I will ask for suggestions for other classes you might like me to teach so I can decide what and if I will plan classes for 2012. So just leave a comment. I will leave comments open for a week and announce the recipient next Friday (November 11). If you’ve already signed up for the class, you can still be eligible to win and you’ll just get a refund so don’t worry.

You should know all the links to my class are affiliate links and I might get a tiny cut if you click through my site to sign up. And before I leave, I also wanted to mention that I participated in the 12 Days of Christmas class as a teacher. I will tell you more about that and do a giveaway in a few weeks.
