Spring is here, and what’s better than having a clean and organized house? This 30-day decluttering challenge will change your life.
It’s almost springtime, and there’s something about the warmer weather that’s making me feel so motivated. I’m ready for some spring cleaning vibes, and my house is just cluttered to the max. So, I created this 30-day decluttering challenge to motivate me. What I love about this challenge is that you focus on one space each day. This feels manageable without being too overwhelming. I can’t wait to do the thing challenge! Let’s get our houses in order!
If you want to join me in this challenge, I am starting it on the first day of spring (March 20th). If you want to stay updated, I plan to post updates on Instagram. Follow me here: https://www.instagram.com/tomorrowisamotherdayblog/
What is The Purpose of This 30-Day Decluttering Challenge?
The purpose of this challenge is to get our houses in order at the beginning of spring. That way, when life gets busy with the warmer weather and summer, you can feel good knowing that your house is less cluttered. It will feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders.
How to tell if you should donate or get rid of something? Well, just ask yourself if you have used this thing in the last year. Can you see yourself using it in the next few weeks? Does it have a spot in your house, or is it taking up space?
30-Day Decluttering Challenge
I have broken this 30-Day Decluttering Challenge into four weeks with two extra days. Each week, you will focus on two locations in your house. Each day will have one thing you need to declutter. Sounds simple, right? If you want to join me in my decluttering challenge, I am starting on March 20th (the first day of Spring).
