January cleaning/ organizing

[peach]

I know the monthly challenges fizzled out last year but maybe we do a January one at least?
I know everyone is wanting to organize and purge clutter so it might be fun to do an organizing/ cleaning challenge!

I was thinking more along the lines is a list with tasks, and you can check in with which ones or how many you completed?

I'm needing to do some cleaning we've been in our new house 6 months and I wanna get rid of stuff we don't use

[mrs.jacinthe]

I'd be down for that.

I have been purging the closets and have a bunch of bags to take to donations. Now I just need to get them to the donation site.

I'm in for anything that can help me get this place in order! I've been cleaning closets this week but am nowhere close to being done.

[newgirl412]

I'd be up for one. I really need to get this house cleaned/organized.

I'm in. I've been dumping stuff like an insane person and I still feel like I can't get it together..ha.
H has to finish my shelves so I can get stuff out of the baby room...that's most of my problem right now.

I'm in! I'm embarrassed about how out of hand my place has gotten and really need to spend some time getting at least some of it back in shape.

[lightbulbsun]

I need to do this. I still haven't gone through the stuff that I brought over from my mom's house.

[TBM]

I am in.

I may need more than a month of motivation though....now that we have a kitchen and the studio, we can finally unpack and get those two rooms and rest of the house in order too. ;p

What if I made a list of tasks with points assigned to them? Person who gets the most points gets a little present from me in the mail?

I like this idea.  

[bunnymendelbaum]

I'm in!
I need help. I started this morning and I'm already so frustrated.

I want to join!!! assuming we don't have to get something specific done on a specific day. Some days I am not available. But could surely get things done weekly!

There is a follow up post below with the details.

I get a fraction of a point! I wiped down the inside of one, yes one, cabinet. I couldn't reach the others.

DH and I have have decided that we will be tackling at least one organization project a weekend.

So far we have have cleaned up the workshop this morning. Next up, our master bedroom closet.

I'd be in for this challenge. We are pretty good, but I have some clothes to weed an a little organizing to do (especially with xmas decor).

Lurker here that would like to join in!

I have read through all the board posts on organizing when I started my massive whole house purge and (re)decorate project in October. It's amazing how just reading other's progress inspires me to get things done. Also, it's my new year's resolution to be less introvert-ish and participate more.

Still have sooo much to do, including repurging where I moved things to previously cleaned out rooms. You know, to hold until I build/buy storage. oy
