NOW AVAILABLE: 52 Organizing Missions.
I’ve invited readers to let public commitment help them get motivated and make progress on their organizing tasks.
In short, here’s what I’ve suggested…
52 Mini Organizing Missions
What I’ll do:
- Each week I’ll give you a mini organizing mission via the Get Organized Blog (right here!).
- It will only take about 30 minutes (that’s 30 minutes a week) to complete the basic mission.
There’ll sometimes be a larger option if you want to go further. - The missions will include decluttering, personal organization, goal-setting and personal development tasks across a range of home, work and life areas.
- The tasks will be broad enough for you to make them personally applicable, or I’ll give you a range of options – so you won’t be asked to do something irrelevant to you.
What I’d like you to do:
- Register your commitment to completing the missions with a comment on this Get Organized – Get Accountable! Post.
- Each week, check in on that week’s Assigned Mission post.
- Um – complete the mission!
- Enter a comment – eg DONE – on that week’s Assigned Mission post. I’d love you to share your experience too, if you like.
Just imagine how much organizing and decluttering you’ll have achieved by the end of your 52 organizing missions!

COunt me in!
I’m in, and I think I’m looking forward to it!!!!
Count me in!!!
I would like to accept the missions too!
OK, Michele. I choose to accept these missions. Just don’t give me any that are gonna self destruct on me. Hit me, I’m ready.
I’m in. Being accountable to someone other than myself is definitely what’s needed for me right now.
I’m in too! The only way is up!
I’m scared to death to start, but I’ve go to do something to “get it” together!
Yes, OK I confess… I have a pile that needs to be sorted, and it would be nice to see the bottom of it by this time next year!!
Ok.. I’m in! Can this really be done?? I sure hope so! Need to de-clutter and get a good system in place. Thanks for your help.
This is a GREAT idea — I really hope this works for me! Thanks
Accountability is something I need desperately. It seems to get me motivated.
Let’s do this…. c’mon, what’s the first task??? It kinda freaks me out that I’m excited about this 🙂
All right lets get started.
