Ready for the Clear the Clutter Challenge?

I’ve been deep cleaning the house like a mad woman now that the holidays are over. Along with the other basic cleaning tasks, I deep dusted, conquered Mt. Laundry, and shampooed every bit of carpeting in the house – whew!

Did any organizing happen? 

Um, no.

Once I start an organization project, I’m motivated to finish because I love the feeling of accomplishment. I also like that I find stuff I forgot I had. It’s like Christmas comes early.

The hardest part is finding the motivation to start.

I need a shove in the right direction. I knew I can count on the blogosphere to do it. I teamed up with a bunch of great bloggers for the Clear the Clutter Challenge!


Starting January 16th visit our blogs for ideas on how to organize and declutter your home. We will have a linky at the bottom of each post so you can add a link to any amazing and clever organizing posts you have on your blog. I realize this is short notice, so feel free to post anything that fits from your blog archives.

  1. This is so awesome, I have been organizing various areas in my home but I would say the biggest challenge is our closet. The top bar is for my husband, the bottom one for me, it's just not functional enough.

  2. I always dream of throwing away so much stuff and having more order around me. Then I sit down and look around and look into files and stuff and realize, that I really do need everything I've got. Feeling cramped is due to being a student living in one room!
    Well, one day, one day I am going to be living in a two room flat (instead of sharing one with a terribly nice flatmate) on my own (or have two rooms in a three room flat with a flatmate), and then I am going to have SO MUCH TIDY AND ORDER :-D.

    It's going to be great. Until then, I'll read decluttering articles and live through you. ;-)

  3. Sonja - I hear you! I lived in an efficiency apartment at one time. If I didn't put things away right away, it got messy very quickly! I think that's the reason I like covered storage.

However, if you want to link to a post or write about it with your own words that is perfectly fine, in fact I encourage it! Those of you who link to a post of mine are welcome to use a photo or two with a link to that specific post.
