Anyone want to do an organizing challenge?

[mac08]

I noticed a lot of people mentioned wanting/needing to organize or de clutter.  Is anyone up for some sort of challenge or check-in?

If yes, does anyone have ideas for the format?  Everyone could choose one area per week, and do before/after pics at the end of the week.  Or we could do something more uniform.  This blog has a 21-day organizing challenge, where you do one small(ish) area per day- www.abowlfulloflemons.net/2011/04/21-day-challenge-revisited.html. This could be fun.  Any takers?

I definitely need to de-clutter, my apt is really small so most of the time it looks like the place was ransacked because I have stuff everywhere. Oops.

I don't think I'd do well with a challenge but I'm definitely up for a check in!

I would love to do something like this. I have an extra room and a garage full of boxes that I never got around to unpacking. We got the essentials out, and never bothered with anything else. If I unpacked one box per day I could probably be done in 21 days!

This sounds amazing, I don't think I'll have time to 100% be on board but I will definitely partake when I can! I need more hours in a day haha!

I'm interested but the 21 days aren't all things I need so I would have to improvise.

I love this idea. I think one area per week is more up my alley these days, and I may do small projects. But picture posts for cleaning are always so motivating.

Should we post our "before" pictures on day one?

amaranth - Oh my gosh, I'm so embarrassed to post before pictures. I suppose that should be motivation enough to follow through, though. Haha.

I would like some sort of check in. I need to organize more before our garage sale.

[estrellita]

Omg I need to organize so badly, lol. I really want to do this but I'm also afraid I will give up easily.

What's a good day for everyone to do check-ins? Mid-week? Sunday? Other?

[grover]

I'm in.

I would be in for like a once a week challenge. Lol. I'll check in when I can but more likely to do things when DH can help.

[mac08]

How about Sunday or Monday I will post the weekly check in thread and we can post before pics of thre areas we want to tackle that week. Then as the week progresses we can add the after pics. I think for me putting an embarrassing before up might be more motivating.

[mac08]

It sounds like everyone can decide on their own what specifically to tackle that week since we may have different areas of need.

[katespade]

Sounds good, mac08!

I agree. I can't have a before and just not redeem myself with an after. Too much shame. Lol.

I'm in!

I'm in! I definitely need this motivation!
