Home Organization Challenge: Day 13 – Weekly Challenges

Today, do something special for yourself to celebrate all that you’ve accomplished so far. The Home Organization Challenges may not have seemed like a big deal but when you put them all together, you’ve really accomplished something BIG. Every challenge that you’ve done has helped to set you up for a successful day and help to eliminate the daily chaos in your life.

Continue perfecting these Challenges: (don’t forget to celebrate)

• Good Morning
• Good Afternoon
• Good Night
• Work on your Reminder Binder
• 20/20 (de-cluttering)

For the next week we are going to be working on Weekly Challenges, these are things that need to be addressed often but not everyday. Just like with our Daily Challenges, Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Night and 20/20, Weekly Challenges help to eliminate chaos too. There is a lot of value, particularly time, when we know what needs to be done and when. So, today we are going to discuss some of the things that need to be taken care of weekly and then tomorrow, we’ll start putting them in action.

Today I want you to think about things that need to be done around your home on a weekly basis and make a list. We’ll be using your list for next weeks challenges. Below is a list of ideas to help get your list started..
