Happy New Year! Every year, being more organized and living a simpler lifestyle tops many lists of goals and resolutions. Here I round up some of my favorite organizing & simplicity challenges and lists. Try one, try a few, or perhaps even try them all!
1)
Peter Walsh's 31 Days To Get Organized: Peter posts these challenges on YouTube in January. I love that there is a video each day to find inspiration in, and he makes the challenges clear and not too big to handle. It's a great way to kick off the new year!
2)
52 Weeks To An Organized Home by Home Storage Solutions 101: I love that this lasts a whole year, and tackles zones of the home a little at a time. Check out the 2017 list with clickable links to each week. If you are doing great in an area that is a focus for that week, you can easily move on to another week.
3)
Organize 365's 100 Day Home Organization Challenge: First, be sure to scroll down to the FREE Get Organized in 100 Days Checklist. You could just work through that checklist. However, if you would like access to videos, more detailed instructions, product recommendations and more support, there is a paid version as well.
If you already feel fairly organized, but could see yourself digging deeper and living a more minimalist lifestyle, Options, 4, 5 and 6 could be perfect for you.
4)
Uncluttered by Becoming Minimalist: I love this course by Joshua Becker. It's a 12 week course that takes you through videos and has a Facebook Support group. It's got more of a focus on minimalism.
5)
a simple year: This is a program by Courtney Carver of Be More With Less (and creator of Project 333). I have not done this program, but I have heard wonderful things. I love that each month has a simple focus. Of note is "August - Self Care" - something that is so important for all of us to embrace.
6)
30-Day Minimalism Game by The Minimalists: Even the concept of this game is simple, and you get to do this with someone which makes it fun. Here's the gist: You both get rid of one thing on the first day, 2 things on the second day, and so on.
