Let the declutter challenge begin!
If you are going to stay on schedule and focus on the progress that you make this year in getting your home in order, the best thing to do may be to tackle some small areas every single day. Even with a goal of just 30 minutes a day you can see noticeable improvements. And if you are not someone who likes to devote an entire day to cleaning, then the declutter challenge of 30 minutes a day can help you undo the clutter you have created in your home. Even if you cannot completely declutter one room in 30 minutes, you will make a small amount of progress every day! And that fits the personal philosophy that many of us have about life in general. The extra weight that we carry on our bodies and the extra items that we have in our homes did not appear overnight, so it is unrealistic to think that you can eliminate these problems in a few days.
