It’s a new year, a new month, a new day… and it’s time to take the Declutter Challenge! It would be lovely, wouldn’t it, to be able to come home to a clean, orderly, peaceful home? Don’t you dream of cooking in a kitchen where all of your utensils are where they should be, and where your countertops glisten and beg to be covered with cookies instead of clutter? Take the Declutter Challenge today! What is a Declutter Challenge, you ask? To put it simply, it is a challenge you take (with perhaps your friends and family) to get a huge part of your house decluttered in a specific time frame. And it WORKS!

The 30 Day Decluttering Challenge

One version is called the 30 Day Decluttering Challenge, and the idea is that on each of the 30 days of the month you attack one thing or area, large or small. The items or areas that you plan to get clutter-free can range from the top shelf in your linen closet to the toy bin in your son’s bedroom, from your sock drawer to the gift wrap bin that gets stuffed in the clost of the spare bedroom.

The trick is to be realistic with your task assignment. Putting down “put photos accumulated during the last year into albums” probably won’t be able to be accomplished in only one day, but perhaps “sort the photos into envelopes or piles according to the occasion or child and get rid of pictures you won’t wish to use” COULD be accomplished! Get your house clutter-free little bits at a time!

Once your tasks have been assigned, consider giving yourself a reward to look forward to when your 30 Day Declutter Challenge ends victoriously! Yes, having a clutter-free house will be a reward in itself, but it’s an undeniable truth that we work harder if we have something tangible to gain from our efforts!

The One Week Decluttering Challenge

Another version of a Declutter Challenge will require you to assign one entire week to your decluttering project. This will be a serious “no distractions allow” week throughout which you clear your schedule for the purpose of gaining back what used to be your decluttered house. Assign yourself one room of the house for each day, lock yourself inside it so to speak, and get busy! Garbage bags, boxes for donations, boxes for re-sell, and of course some good old cleaning supplies will be your must-haves for this job. Pull your significant other, your room-mate, or your children into the challenge! Many hands make light work!

Perhaps you might need to scale back and give yourself a One Week Bathroom Decluttering Challenge, or a One Week Garage Decluttering Challenge. Don’t feel bad about that! By committing yourself for 7 days (and really, what is 7 days compared to what you gain), you will without a doubt bring back order to at least one part of your cluttered house!

The 2010 in 2010 Decluttering Challenge

This challenge is my favourite. The 2010 in 2010 has you dedicate yourself to decluttering (throwing out, donating, or selling) 2010 things during the year 2010. That sounds like a lot of “stuff” doesn’t it? If you do the math though, it’s not too crazy at all. 2010 divided into 365 days comes to only 5.5 things per day. Look around you… the pantry closet, the cupboard under the stairs, your walk-in closet, the garage… suddenly 2010 that doesn’ t seem too crazy, does it? Keep track by ticking it off on the calendar or somewhere handy, and be amazined as you watch the clutter disappear!

Another way to do the 2010 Decluttering Challenge is to commit 2010 minutes specifically to decluttering! That’s 33.5 hours…. which seems like a lot until you consider that there are 8,760 hours in one year! It’s not even one one 45 minute session per week! And yet imagine what you could get clutter-free in 2010 minutes!

So, the “30 Day “, the “One Week”, and the “2010 in 2010″… three excellent ways to start decluttering your home! If you want more information on a Decluttering Challenge, then click the link!
