Mark your calendars!

Real Simple magazine is celebrating their 10th anniversary next month, and they are throwing two amazing parties you can attend for free.

The first event: Chicago, Friday, April 9, from 12-7 pm at Union Station’s Great Hall.

The second event: New York City, Thursday, April 15, from 12-7 pm at Grand Central Terminal’s Vanderbilt Hall.

Each party will feature: “15-minute workshops led by experts on fashion, beauty, fitness, cooking, and more. Performances by Broadway’s hottest shows every hour in New York. Special commissioned performance by the Joffrey Ballet in Chicago. Mini manicures. Food tastings. Gift bags and more.”

At the New York event, I will be presenting a 15-minute workshop on the topic “time saving tips.” I will repeat the same presentation four times from 4-5 pm. According to the current schedule, I will be in the Dining Room of Vanderbilt Hall for these presentations. (The Real Simple website currently says that I’m presenting in Chicago, which is an error. I’ll definitely be in New York.) I will also be attending the Client Lunch from 12-2 pm on the same day (catered by Charlie Palmer’s Metrazur — yum!), and be available to answer questions, sign books, etc.

Again, both events are free and open to the public. The lineup of speakers is amazing, and I’m honored to be participating. If you are unable to attend, you can follow along through the related Facebook group and through the Twitter hashtag #RS10 and @Real_Simple account.

    Somehow, there’s something ironic about presenting the same 15-minute workshop four times in one day. Surely they could make a hologram of you, like Will.I.Am on CNN on election night? :-)

    I only wish I could be there, but I know you’ll be great!

    People spend more time organizing and searching files for items than they would spend if they allowed clutter to accumulate on their desks where it can easily be found–saving more time than would be spent trying to organize. Companies have sprung up to “educate” the sheep about getting organized–making money while spewing the same old spiel about the horrors of clutter!

    Wake up and see the light. Real Simple is for simpletons. A poor excuse for a publication. Bubblegum for the mindless.

    Fifteen minute talks four times a day? Now that’s clutter.
