Are you overwhelmed about where to start when decluttering and organizing your home? I understand. I find myself thinking the same thing. Over the years, I have created numerous organizing challenges to support people who feel overwhelmed and help them get motivated to make a change, even if it is just a little movement forward. So, I reviewed my large collection of home organizing challenges, picked these favorites that my visitors loved, and am sharing them with you.

    I love how a challenge gives structure to the whole process. For me, the second challenge, handling one particular area in just 15 minutes, going all month, would be ideal, because most of my spaces just need little tune-ups. You've got something for everyone!

    What fun ways to tackle decluttering! There is something for everyone. I like your take on the A to Z decluttering challenge. "X" is clever. So many of us have medical documents and papers that aren't needed. I'm imagining a BIG pile of shredding!!!! Happy day!

    These all look fun. I'd probably adopt a couple of them to fit my life. Find the things that I constantly need to organize around my house and then repeat as a challenge.

    Sometimes a challenge is just what is needed to help someone stop being overwhelmed by the process and to just jump in! These all seem very approachable, and once you start clearing space, it's hard to stop when you see the improvements.

    Thanks for sharing your challenges. I can see from your experience that 15 minutes seems to be the key to help get people started with decluttering and organizing. As they enjoy the benefits of an organized they will move onto larger projects or perhaps divide the larger project into 15 minutes of work until the job is done.

    I love when tasks are broken up into time-slots. So, your challenge, 15 tasks to be done in 15 minutes is my favorite. It’s very concrete and we know what we’re getting into.

    It’s also motivating when you have only a 5, 10 or 15 minute task. It’s quick and easy to fit into any schedule.
