I've been sharing my home-organizing decluttering challenge ebooks for many years now. As the year begins, we want to get you ready to start your new year with a fresh, organized way to declutter your home.

I will revisit all these decluttering challenges to help you get organized in your home and life. And, you will be able to have access to all these FREE ebooks, plus our other free ebooks to help! Read more to help you get ready to get organized this coming year.

Weekly and Monthly Challenges are Easier to Handle

All these doable challenges give you weekly and monthly goals to keep you focused on the small tasks that make up various areas of your home. Each e-book breaks down the weekly challenge and includes further information to help you with the task. We associate the weekly challenges with the national holidays in the most recent book.

Below, I have described the different ebooks to help you decide which one to download and use. Want more information? You can click through to the full post and fill out the subscribe form there. It will take you right to that ebook for easy download and printing.

First Year: One Full Year of Doable Weekly Challenges to Clear the Clutter Home ebook

In the first-year weekly doable challenges ebook, we focused on the doing aspect. Straightforward steps make it easy to get done and feel accomplished. "no thinking, just doing" was the phrase used in this book.

One Year of Doable Weekly Challenges to Clear the Clutter in Your Home

Awakening to what is essential in your life is only one benefit of purging and organizing your home. The act of clearing a cluttered space makes you more attuned to what you have and what you no longer want.

Year Two: Doable Weekly Challenges to Clear the Clutter Home ebook

We learned a lot from the first year, so in the second year, we recommended bringing someone else along for the ride to declutter the home. Family and friends can do the challenge too. This helped with accountability for your actions.

Doable Weekly Challenges to Clear the Clutter This Year

This year, we have a new version of the Doable Weekly Challenges ebook to share with you. If you want to try last year's, here's the link. If you are back for another year of challenges, welcome! We're delighted to see you again.

Year Three: Doable Weekly Challenges to Clear the Clutter Home ebook

In the third-year ebook, we included a table that lists all the weeks on it. When you do the action for the week, you will mark an X on that week to show you completed it. This helped keep you focused and show how many weeks you performed the challenges for that year. We also contacted participants from the prior two years and asked whether there were still areas of their homes they were struggling with, and added those areas to the ebook. There were 12 focus areas, from kitchen to shed (affiliate) organizing and decluttering.

Super Easy Weekly Organizing Challenge for This Year

On this first full week of 2020, I am so excited to share this year's doable weekly organizing challenge ebook with you. I made some modifications to refine it so you can focus on certain challenging home areas.

Year Four: Weekly Challenges to Completely Change Your Home Life ebook

The fourth-year challenge book was the best of all! We included a "Week 1 goal for the year" sheet listing all home areas. On the week one challenge, you were to write the goal for each room in your home. This would help you when doing the various room to remind you of the goal you may have had for that area.

We also included a weekly checklist (affiliate) to help you with every weekly sheet. This sheet can be copied and reused at the beginning of the week. It enables you to schedule the exact time and day you will do that week's challenge. There is also a section for tools (affiliate) and items that you may need for that week's challenge to help you get started right away. As well as asking you some questions to answer while doing the challenge. This sheet is the foundation of this ebook to motivate you to focus on decluttering and organizing that area.

Easy Weekly Challenges to Completely Change Your Home Life

This year marks the 4th year we have done these weekly challenges ebooks! I hope you have taken advantage of this free 52-week challenge to organize your life. The goal of this year's weekly challenge ebook is to help you improve what matters in your home life while streamlining and removing clutter.

Year Six: Streamline the Home 2024 Challenge

This ebook design changed this year and is focused on Monthly challenges and creating goals. This Streamline the Home challenge will guide you through 10 monthly challenges broken down into steps.

Streamline the Home 2024 Challenge

If you have been visiting my blog for a while, I love sharing challenges to motivate visitors to take action and transform their lives. This year, the Streamline the Home challenge will guide you through 10 monthly challenges broken down into steps.

Year Five: Let's Streamline Your Home Declutter Challenge ebook

You may be wondering why a monthly decluttering challenge is essential. As the name implies, it will let you visit areas you may not have been to in a while. This will enable you to be accountable for these areas and see what can be tossed or given away. If you do not look at these areas, you may never decide whether you need everything in them. So, doing a declutter challenge will remind you to declutter areas of your home, resulting in cleared surfaces, emptied closets, kitchen cabinets, paper files, and so much more.

Let's Streamline Your Home Declutter Challenge

I've been participating in monthly and weekly decluttering challenges since I started my blog in 2011. While the challenge has evolved tremendously over the years with the help of clients, followers, and family and friends, it now includes a simple way to plan your approach for these monthly decluttering challenges.

    I think the guidance of a challenge is just what people need. It can be the spark that pushes someone to get organized. Almost everyone likes a little competition, even if it's with themselves.
    I like the idea of a weekly challenge. I offer a daily organized task subscription, but I know that some people save them up and do them on a weekend, so once a week.

    I love that you found different ways to appeal to people's desires to DIY-organize and improve their homes. It's a great response to the resolution/goal instinct that starts every year, and what better place to begin than in one's home?

    Impressive that you have been doing these for 4 years! I think this is a wonderful resource. Many people just need some external structure and accountability to get organized, and these ebooks are perfect. That's the kind of challenge I can get behind!

    I love the do-it-yourself approach that you encourage with all of the ebooks and challenges you created. These provide a wonderful guide for self-starters to get organized and decluttered. And there's nothing like a New Year to begin. Isn't getting organized one of the top ten goals or resolutions of the year?
