Let The After-Christmas Purge-Fest BEGIN!

December 26, 2021 · In: Cleaning, Organize

How to purge and tidy up after Christmas with this 28 Day New Year Decluttering Challenge.

Now that the wrapping paper has been hauled away with your trash man and the new toys are piled up on the old toys in your kids’ rooms, it’s time to get real with yourself…2022 is just around the corner and those resolutions of getting organized last January never happened.

I totally get it, being a busy mom is hard! And all those gorgeous photos in magazine articles and massive whole-home organization blog posts popping up all over the place aren’t helping you at all. They’re making you feel overwhelmed. Am I right?

Well I’m a busy mom, too, and I don’t have time to reorganize my whole house. I know you don’t either. So I created an easy to follow 28 Day Challenge to help mamas just like me declutter their homes a little at a time each day in January. I’m talking ten to twenty minutes MAX!

And once you’ve spent ten to twenty mins a day for 28 days on this super-obtainable checklist, you’ll have TWENTY EIGHT decluttered, neat spaces in your house. TWENTY EIGHT neat spaces! Um, sign me up Sister!

28 Day Declutter Challenge by Lela Burris of Organized-ish

Join The New Year 28 Day Decluttering Challenge

Starting January 3rd, the Organized-ish Annual 28 Day Decluttering Challenge will be back and better than ever!

Each day, I’ll be in my Instagram and Facebook Stories doing the challenge with you! I’ll walk you through how I declutter and organize each category of the list, and I’ll share my best-kept secrets and advice.

Plus, since Stories disappear after 24 hours, each mini video will be saved to a Story Highlight on my IG Profile so you can come back to them as often as you want. That means you don’t have to stress if you get behind or miss a day of the challenge. And if you want to redo the challenge in July, you’ll have all the resources right at your fingertips.

How To Join The Challenge

A. Go ahead and download and print the list of all 28 areas we’ll cover in the challenge. If one doesn’t apply to you, cross it out, choose an alternative and write that in its place.

2. Follow me on Instagram @lelaburris. I’ll be in my Stories every single day doing the challenge with you, showing you exactly how I’m organizing the daily category, and sharing my best tips and secrets. You won’t want to miss this, because it’s like working with a professional organizer for a full month, fo’ free! Don’t forget to share your own videos of you working through the challenge and tag me. I want to cheer you on and see your progress!  *Not on Instagram? You can follow my Facebook page to see the videos, too.

D. Check your email every Friday in January for bonus tips, Q&A’s, and a weekly recap of the challenge. There may be some fun surprises and maybe even a prize or two, so make sure you open it!

(Did you notice the order of that list? You didn’t think you were the only one who watched Home Alone three times last month, did you? Ha!)

What You Need For The Challenge

Here’s the big whopping list of supplies you need for the 28 Day Decluttering Challenge:

  • Trash Bags
  • The 28 Day Declutter Challenge, printed and prepped

The End.

No excuses like “I can’t afford expensive organizers” or “I don’t have a label maker” or “My koala ate my homework.” You need trash bags and the list I send to your inbox, that can be printed and reprinted no many how many times that pesky koala tries to sabotage you.

Sure, you can go above and beyond by adding in new organizers and fancy dancy labels. I’ll never tell you not to do that! This challenge can be bare-bones simple or over the top. Whatever works best for you. The key is to stick with it. So if you think you can commit to reorganizing and labeling every category, every day, then you go girl! But if you have doubts about your motivation, just do the decluttering and save the extra work for later. The goal is to do every task, every day, and not fall off the wagon. Keep it simple, mama.

The Final Kick In The Pants…

I know you’ve made resolutions to get more organized before. And to have a cleaner house. And to be less stressed. And to build better routines.

And I know those resolutions never made it past Spring Break.

This time it’s gonna happen, my friend. I PROMISE you, if you stick with this challenge for the full twenty eight days, and really commit to it, you’ll not only have a less-cluttered home, but a drive to keep it that way. PS: If you have trouble sticking with challenges, here’s a post to help you do better this time.

This is the last time you’ll ever resolve to be more organized at home. So next year your resolutions can be something fun like taking that mischievous koala of yours to obedience training classes.

Family isn’t defined by dna, it’s built on lov Family isn’t defined by dna, it’s built on love. Happy Father’s Day to the greatest man I know @___inteebe___ ❤️
He met this four year old little dude who was sick on the couch clutching his Lightening McQueen car. Soon after, Noah told me in the car “Mommy let’s stay friends with him, ok?”
So we did. And here we are ten years later. Nothing makes my heart more full than seeing these two together.
…Except when they gang up on me for asking [dumb] questions about superheroes… 😅
Happy Father’s Day Nigel!
Let’s talk about organizing overwhelm. Yep, we a Let’s talk about organizing overwhelm. Yep, we are going there…
As exciting and freeing and calming it is to get a space cleaned up and organized, it’s also stressful and overwhelming and exhausting. Especially when you’re doing big projects.
After three weeks straight of working on my garage, I was reaching the point of burnout. I got behind on other things, I constantly felt like I wasn’t doing enough, and my to-do list kept getting longer.
If you’re feeling this way today, I want you to give yourself permission to do these two things:
1. Take a break. It is ok to pause a project and take some chill time. Log off of social media, stop looking at your list, and just recharge.
2. Remove things from your list. You might have planned a huge project, but after a while you start losing enthusiasm. At that point, let some plans go. Save them for later in the year, or maybe even never. Projects should be flexible, not set in stone.
What’s something on your to-do list you can let go of today to save you time and stress?
