Giveaway: AboutOne Membership (5 Winners!)

by Mandi on January 22, 2011

aboutone giveaway

Is one of your goals for 2011 to get more organized and eliminate paper clutter? If so, today’s giveaway is for you!

AboutOne has been designed to eliminate piles of paper, multiple documents, spreadsheets, and files on various devices, and the frustration of not being able to find information when you need it. It addresses the fact that people do not want to spend time on record-keeping, yet they want to preserve memories and they MUST have access to household information.

More than a digital filing cabinet, AboutOne does the thinking for you by automatically combining all your entries to save you time on everyday family admin activities like creating family newsletters, scrapbooks, hardcover photo albums, and creating and mailing holiday cards, or completing school forms, college applications, caregiver instructions, and tax returns.

You can enter information from any computer, by emailing from your cellphone, or by scanning directly into the system. You only enter as much information as you need. There is no need to enter historical information unless you want to. The emphasis is on quick entry and intelligent use of information because no one wants to spend time on data entry.

Five lucky Life Your Way readers will each win a one-year membership to AboutOne.

To enter, leave me a comment and tell me how you’d use AboutOne to get organized.

This giveaway ends at 5 p.m. EST on Monday, 1/24. The winner will be selected randomly and notified by email, and this post will be updated with their name as well.


  • HMaddox

    I battle the stacks of paper and try so hard to be organized but have never mastered it. I have my own family and now helping care for my elderly Mom and all her paperwork. I would really appreciate a membership to finally get organized in 2011.

  • Shannonmking

    My husband and I swore that this is the year we begin sending out a holiday photo card. We’re going on our 14th year of marriage; 2 kids. So for starters, I’d use it to help me with that holiday card.

  • Vsbgarcia

    As the mom of a busy family of 6 + our family dog I am always looking fit ways to keep track of things. Between scheduling doctors appointments fir our 4 kids 8, 2.5, 1,5 & 4 months) to keeping track of car insurance payments and everything in between, I’m drowning. My husband is about to graduate medical school in May and we will be moving for Residency, although we won’t know where we are moving to until March 17. The “planner” in me is going nuts! I’ve been trying to get organized before the move and I gave a sneaking suspicion this could be a HUGE help. Thanks for introducing this product to us! And thanks for taking the time to do a giveaway!!

    I work three jobs (one freelance, one small business owner, and one “office job”) and my man is paramedic with constantly changing 12-24 hour shifts and volunteer firefighting on the side… it’s hard to keep it all straight and figure out when we have time together!

  • Danigirl695

    Wow let’s see, as a newly diagnosised adult with adhd a husband,3 kiddos with autism and a home business I would used this to run my entire life. I am trying so hard to learn when i start something to follow through and finish it and to make sure all important documents for the kids make it to their files and into the correct labeled sections. It would be great to have reminders when bills are due and absolutely amazing to have the business in order month by month and not worry about it all at the end of the like I am doing this year. I might also finally start getting our thousands of photos organized and in some kind of order to where i can enjoy them with our family and others. Thanks so much for this giveaway!!!

    I work from hope as a CPA and therefore have paper everywhere. I also feel the need to hold onto every financial document possible and every photo I’ve ever taken. I have two small children and save their artwork in large bins. I don’t ever get to do anything with this artwork b/c I’m so busy shuffling papers. This is the solution I have been waiting for- help me out of the paper craze that has taken over my life and my house!

    It would definitely help me to “store” all of my kids’ art work so that i can get rid of most of it but still remember it all! Plus I tend to have a problem with all the paperwork that doesn’t fit nicely into a category so I usually keep it all with no place to go. I think it would be nice to have help with that!

With all of the paperwork neatly stored in AboutOne, maybe we can actually start to use our kitchen island again!! :) Pick me!!

  • MomOfFour

    Paper chaos is my biggest problem and has been for as long as I can remember. There are piles of it on two desks and our dining room table. This causes me to feel stressed out on a regular basis and leads to frustration for all family members when we need to find something important in a hurry. The problem is I don’t know how to put a system into place. I would love to have all my papers put away in a place they can be found again when we need them.

I have a hubby that works and is a board member for a community club that needs our attention, the social life calendar and activities for 2 teenage daughters and I am an assistant principal that always needs to be able to find information immediately. This sounds like exactly what I need to help keep work, school, and social all organized. Can’t wait to see if it works for me.

    My husband works a night shift an hour away from our house. So, its me and my kids during the week. Since my kids are 3 and 4, I have turned into a paper shuffler. It takes me too much time to find the information that I need and because I am slowly getting organized it has been frustrating. I want to spend time with my kids instead of paper shuffling.

    I’ve been trying to declutter our home for several years and feel like I take one step forward and two steps back. We have four adult children but unfortunately they don’t take their stuff with them when they leave home. We also have a home office and need help there. Just to get one area organized and decluutered would be a great help!

    I have a great idea to start my own business. Wanted to try it last year but it got put off but I still want to give it a go this year. I know I will have to be organized and be able to juggle being a mom, keeping up with all the baseball activities–traveling to games, practices for several teams (season about to start up again), volunteering, housecleaning, paying bills, running errands, emails, all doctor & dentist appts., school activites and the list just keeps going. Being an older mom, I did sign up with Facebook but still am afraid to put texting on my cell phone because I’m afraid I just can’t keep up with one more technology feature. Well with all this in my mind, how does one take on such a big challenge of adding plenty of time to devote to a business to make it at least a little bit of fun and maybe make a buck in the end? Please send help my way!

Well with all this in my mind, how does one take on such a big challenge of adding plenty of time to devote to a business to make it at least a little bit of fun and maybe make a buck in the end? Please send help my way!

    I will use it to organize my work traveling schedule with my family schedule so I make sure I do not miss any important events and my kid can plan playdates when I am around

    I have never been able to tame my paper tiger…nor am I a good organizer (setting up files, having important information in one place, etc.) I would use an AboutOne membership to conquer this problem, once and for all!

    I have been trying to do this kind of thing on our home computer for a while, but it is not very convenient and I’ve run into too many hurdles. Plus, there’s the constant worry the hd will crash and everything will be lost before I get a chance to back it up. I’m a SAHM of 3 boys (10, 4, 1) trying to get my home business up & running. Hubby lost his job in Nov. and trying to organize job hunt. We’re on committees at our church and trying to keep those projects going & organized. Struggling with PPD and completely buried in paper, pictures, forms, appointments, and lots more! Oh please! I think this would be a life saver for us, literally. Even if you don’t pick me to win, I’m elated that you introduced this & I found it! oh Yeay!

    I cannot conquer the paper clutter. I think this would be extremely helpful in getting me to be better organized, especially as we add a third little one to our family in the next few weeks. I am trying to be more diligent in keeping track of all the papers we have and I haven’t done it yet. I think this would be a great start to 2011.

    It’s worth a shot! I’m constantly looking for new ways to be organized and in the last year or so I can honestly say I’ve made some headway but there is still a lot of room for improvement! AboutOne looks like a very useful tool and I’d love to try it out for a year!

    My wife and I have been looking for one place that could help us organize our life since my son was born. Trying to keep track of everything is starting to pile up all over and things get missed all the time. I think AboutOne could help us get back to a more organized existence.

    It would help keep my husband and me on the same page – information would be at both of our fingertips. Also, like that it’s stored and protecting off the computer – if our computer crashes the information/memories aren’t lost.

    Hi! Just found your blog via simplemom.net! This online system sounds great. I have a room with piles of papers that completely overwhelm me and it would be great to be able to have a guest room rather than a paper room in my house!

    These are great. I’ve been following Zen Family Habits for a while, but I haven’t seen any new posts since the end of April. Is it going to continue?

  • http://zenfamilyhabits.net Sherri

    Thanks so much for your comment! Yes it’s going to continue :) I’m just wrapping up our first bootcamp (which was a lot of work … but it’s turned out to be a fantastic course!) So once that’s done I’ll be back to writing more there on a more regular basis. 

    Thanks again!! 
    Be well,
    Sherri:)

    I love being reminded of the truisms of my life. Sometimes my heart & brain go into fog mode and I forget. I learned ages ago through some trials that happiness, success, and living are not found in a wallet but in the midst of minutes of time with people and myself doing and being. Thanks for the ‘cheat sheet’ reminder list.
