We made it through another year, organizing our life and home. If you haven't been following me, you may not know that I do a monthly challenge at the beginning of most months to help you jump-start organizing your life. Taking Action Challenges helps when we just don't know where to start. It's like doing a 30-day photo challenge or a 30-day gratitude challenge. It's something you can do each day for the entire month to get you closer to your goals.

This year was a little different; I didn't just do home organizing (Affiliate Link) challenges. I also added some life challenges and emergency preparedness challenges. Many of these challenges come with printables to help you make the most of the challenge. So, to make it easier for you to view all these challenges in one place, I created this post. Feel free to click through and pick a challenge or two this month to get you organized before the end of the year.
'What you love' challenge
The first Taking Action Challenge is the Thirty-one Days of Loves Challenge, which will help you decide what you love and what you can get rid of in your home. Everyone has items that they love in their home, but over the years, you may not remember them easily. This month is about remembering those things. Doing this will allow you to see what you don't care for and what you can do without in your home. So give it a try.
Account List Challenge
Create A Complete Account List Challenge will help you get your important account information all in one place. This month is about collecting all your valuable account information. Write them up and then store them in a safe (Affiliate Link) place.
Car Organization Challenge
Car Organization Challenge will help you clean out your car (if you need it) and create a space for everything in it. The house is not the only place to organize. The car needs it, too! Here's a list of items you can hold in your vehicle.
Organizing the kitchen challenge
Kitchen Organizing Challenge will transform your kitchen into a functional place to cook and bake. This post has several other post links with different tips from myself and other Professional Organizers to help you through your kitchen organization (Affiliate Link).
Create a bathroom oasis challenge
Making The Bathroom Your Oasis Challenge will help you turn your bathroom into the relaxing spa of your dreams. Who doesn't want a bathroom that when you enter it, you escape to your very own spa? I know I would love that!
Bedroom Oasis Challenge
Making A Bedroom Oasis Challenge will help create a space of tranquility. The bedroom should always be your oasis. If you have clutter everywhere in your home, the bedroom should be the one room that isn't cluttered at all. Make it a place of only items that you treasure and that you want to see when you wake up in the morning.
Making a backyard oasis
How to Have an Incredibly Organized Backyard Challenge This challenge will help you make your backyard an oasis that will welcome you after a long day at work.
Outdoors can be a perfect place to relax. This challenge is all about the different areas you can organize to transform your backyard into a relaxing one.

Emergency Supplies Challenge
The Set Up Your Emergency Supplies Challenge is to help you set up your emergency supplies before an emergency happens. There are lots of tips and products you can use to make sure you are ready.
This is a picture of my emergency supply bin. It holds everything I would need for three days in case we need to leave quickly. Making an emergency supply container will give you peace of mind when you need it most.
Saving Time challenge
These areas could be the way you pay your bills and the way you do your shopping. Check it out if you are stressed and want to simplify your tasks to make room for more important ones.
Being grateful challenge
The Gratitude Challenge is a 15-day challenge to help you realize what matters in your life. Lastly, this challenge helps you notice what you are grateful for, and if you are grateful for particular people in your life, it reminds you to tell those others.
Well, there you have this year's Taking Action Challenges. Feel free to visit any of these challenges again. May you have a great new year and be less stressed and more organized next year. Cheers!

Wow, this is amazing! Don't you love looking back at what you've done over the past year?
Sabrina Quairoli says
I do. Thanks for commenting. =)
Sarah Soboleski says
Love this round-up! I work with a lot of moms and their bedroom space is often overlooked and taken over by kid stuff. Your post about making your bedroom tranquil is so spot on!
Kathy McEwan says
What a wealth of information. Great idea to put all this information together in one post. I love the saving time printable because I find that we live in such a fast passed society and we all need to slow down a bit. Great tips.
Seana Turner says
Smart idea to put together this wrap up so that people can pick and choose which projects to work on. My personal favorite is the kitchen. A room that you use all day long, where the effort pays off in big rewards!
Sabrina Quairoli says
Me too, Seana. I am always in the kitchen and am so grateful that it is organized into zones. It not only keeps me organized while cooking but also makes me happy to cook. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. =)
Linda Samuels says
What an amazing array of tools you've provided your readers to tackle all types of organizational challenges. A few years ago I created an emergency list and key information about my Mom. Soon I'll be doing a similar thing for me and my husband. I have information in different places, but I'd like one key list with the top level info. That way if there IS an emergency we'll be prepared.
Sabrina Quairoli says
That's great, Linda. It is so important to have a documented system to help everyone, even for us, POs. =) Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
