Welcome to our annual Home Organization Challenge. It’s 2025 and this year is our 14th year decluttering our homes together. I’ve changed things up a bit this year and we’re going to start the challenge at your home office or where you manage + keeping track of your finances. We always seem to get stuck in the kitchen church so I wanted to start focusing elsewhere this year. The schedule is different, so be sure to write it in your schedule and join us.
The challenge starts on Saturday 4th January. If you would like to participate with our community, be sure to join my Facebook challenge group below.
Challenge Kit: Print the free challenge kit. You can print from Google Drive or Dropbox.
Goal: Our goal for this challenge is not only to help you organize, but to help you get rid of things in your house that you don’t use or need. I don’t want you to organize everything, just so you can take Instagram-worthy photos of colorful things you don’t need anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I love an organized home and I want your home to be organized. But we need to dig deeper into the challenge and ask ourselves why we have all these things that we keep reorganizing year after year. Do we use everything or do we stick to it “just in case”? Do we keep it because we spent a lot of money on it or because it belonged to a loved family member who died? Things do not define us or control our memories. They are just inanimate objects. An open and free space and a peaceful mind is the goal, not rows of princess-colored t-shirts or boxes of memories we’ll never use or see. When we remove the unnecessary, we make room for what really matters.
Procedure: This is a self-directed challenge so you can go at your own pace. You can also look back at the blog, for planning inspiration and see photos of my home for more guidance.
