Read More About Home Improvement

It's another month, another week, another day... and it is time to start the Declutter Challenge! Wouldn't you like to be able to come home to a clean, orderly, peaceful house? Can you imagine cooking in a kitchen where all your utensils are in their proper spots, and where your counters gleam and beg to be covered with home made cookies rather than clutter? Give yourself a Declutter Challenge today! Never heard of a Declutter Challenge? It put it simply, it's a challenge you offer yourself (and/or your siblings and friends) to get a massive part of your home decluttered in a particular time frame. And it WORKS!

The One Week Declutter Challenge

Another type of challenge will have you to assign one entire week to your challenge. This will be a serious "no one can distract me" week during which you clear your schedule with the goal of gaining back what was once your clutter-free home. Assign yourself one area of the house for each day, lock yourself within it so to speak, and get working! Garbage bins, bins for donations and re-sell, and certainly some good ole' cleaning supplies are your must-haves. Pull your spouse, your girlfriends, or your kids along with you! Remember, many hands make light work!
Perhaps you will be better off to scale back and go with a One Week Playroom Declutter Challenge, or a One Week Garage Declutter Challenge. Don't let that worry you! Commit yourself to decluttering for 7 days (and seriously, what is 7 days in the grand scheme of life), and you'll definitely bring order back to at least part of your chaotic home!

The 2010 in 2010 Declutter Challenge

This category of Declutter Challenge is a popular one. Commit yourself to decluttering (by selling, throwing out, or donating) 2010 things during the year 2010. Does that sound like way to much? If you do the math though, it's not as crazy as it sounds. 2010 divided into 365 days is merely 5.5 items every day. Look around you... your junk drawer, the cupboard in the basement, your kitchen, the garage... that makes it seem more reasonable now, does it? Tick off your success on a calendar, and see the clutter melt away!
One more way it is possible to do the 2010 Declutter Challenge is to commit 2010 minutes specifically to decluttering! That is 33.5 hours.... A whole lot until you consider that there are 8,760 hours in one year! That is less than one 45 minute session per week! However, 2010 minutes is enough to get a LOT decluttered!

The 30 Day Declutter Challenge

The final type of challenge is termed the 30 Day Declutter Challenge, and the idea is that on every one of the 30 days of the month you declutter one object or section of your house, great or small. The things can vary from the middle drawer in your armoir to your son's old sports equipment in your work shop, from your junk drawer to the gift wrap bin that gets stuffed in the home office closet. The key is to be sensible with your chore assignment. Assigning "put photos taken in the previous two years into photoalbums" almost certainly isn't do-able in one afternoon, but possibly "organize the photographs into envelopes or piles by the occasion or child and get rid of photographs you won't want to keep" CAN be done!
As soon as your chores are assigned, think about giving yourself a reward to look ahead to when your 30 Day Challenge ends successfully! Yes, having a decluttered house will be a reward in itself, you can not deny that we tend to give more effort to our work if we have something extra to win from our pains!

So, the "One Week Declutter Challenge", and the "2010 in 2010 Declutter Challenge", and the the "30 Day Declutter Challenge"... three fantastic ways to begin decluttering your house! Which one will you do?
