The Mini Declutter Challenge will help you tackle the mess one small, manageable task at a time, leaving your home feeling lighter and more organized in just 30 days!
Is your home feeling a little… chaotic?
Life gets busy, stuff piles up, and before you know it, clutter starts taking over.
But don’t worry, we’re not about to Marie Kondo your entire house in one weekend. This is a Mini Declutter Challenge—just 30 small, manageable tasks to help you simplify your space one step at a time.
Each day, you’ll tackle a bite-sized decluttering project that takes less than 15 minutes. By the end of 30 days, your home will feel lighter, more organized, and, best of all, you won’t feel overwhelmed.
Whether you’re a busy mom juggling kids and work, or you just want to reclaim your space, this challenge is designed to fit into your schedule without adding extra stress.
How It Works:
You can tackle each task on this challenge from start to finish in 30 days, or you can choose to complete a certain number of tasks each week.
Each task focuses on a different area of your home, from junk drawers and closets to your phone and even your car. These small, focused tasks are designed to make a big impact over time. Think of it as slow and steady wins the race—but way more satisfying because you get to check off a box every day!
Why You’ll Love This Challenge:
- It’s Quick: Each task is designed to take 15 minutes or less.
- It’s Manageable: No whole-room makeovers here. We’re starting small—one drawer, one pile, one cabinet at a time.
- It’s Flexible: Busy day? Just swap tasks or skip to another one that’s easier to tackle. There’s no right or wrong way to declutter!
- It’s Motivating: Nothing feels better than checking things off a list. Trust me, once you start, you won’t want to stop.
