Life is busy and while decluttering in a marathon session has definite benefits, it doesnt always fit into our schedules. Thats where a 10 minute a day declutter challenge comes in.

We will tackle 31 different decluttering tasks next month and all these tasks can be done in about 10-minutes.

If youve tried other declutter challenges and they just didnt work for you, you may find that the 10-minutes a day format works better for your busy life.

If you have successfully decluttered in the past, then this declutter challenge with 31 different tasks is perfect for a declutter touch up, which we all need from time to time.

Declutter Challenge

When you participate in a declutter challenge you harness the power of the group to keep you motivated.

If you participated in the Organized Home Challenge, you will still benefit from this declutter challenge. The Organized Home Challenge addressed five specific areas of your home and the tasks were more labor and time intensive.

In this 10 Minutes a Day Declutter Challenge we will be addressing smaller tasks in all areas of your home. The two challenges are complementary to each other.
