31-Day Declutter Challenge
Are you ready to kick off the new year with a fresh, organized start?
The 31-Day Declutter Challenge is here to help you tackle your home, one manageable task at a time. This guided challenge is perfect for anyone looking to reclaim their space and create a more functional, stress-free environment.
With a focus on one area of the house each week, you’ll see noticeable progress without feeling overwhelmed. By the end of January, you’ll have a home that’s not only decluttered but also more enjoyable to live in. Let’s dive into the details!

What to Expect
This challenge breaks down your home into four main areas:
- Week 1: Bathroom – Start small by decluttering countertops, cabinets, and under-sink spaces.
- Week 2: Kitchen – Tackle the heart of your home by organizing countertops, the pantry, and even the junk drawer.
- Week 3: Bedroom – Create a peaceful retreat by clearing out nightstands, closets, and dresser drawers.
- Week 4: Living Room – Refresh shared spaces by organizing bookshelves, entertainment centers, and coffee tables.
Each day comes with a specific, actionable task to keep you on track. Plus, YOU get to decide how in-depth you want to go with this: if you can do your entire pantry in a day, great! If you only have 5 minutes, clear off one shelf and call it good!
