Get Organized – Get Accountable!

NOW AVAILABLE: 52 Organizing Missions.

Commit to your 52 mini 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!

    I have completed the first mission. Thought I wouldn’t find anything, because I’ve been attempting the declutter thing for a while, but managed to fill my garbage bag anyway.

  4. Patti says:

    OK. Last week i did mission #1 – this week #2 – everytime I open my purse or back back I pull stuff out to detox it. it only takes a minute.

  10. Marion says:

    I’m starting this… oh my goodness! Just dreaming about taking one step at a time to a less cluttered house (do you have a place to organize kids??)

  11. sonja says:

    yup, I’m in. At this point, I have read a lot and even put some of those brilliant tips into action, but this cries for discipline… Dang, if I don’t stop merely hoarding (filing) all that useful stuff and fooling myself about needing the big picture completed first, it’ll all end up as another huge unfinished castle-in-the-air. Thanks already, Michele, for the option of manageable chunks and regular step-by-step lessons. Looking forward to a year of improving habits 🙂

  14. Monica says:

    I am in on improving my life and hopefully the quality of it also. This house is out of control and beyond hope, or I thought so until I found your site. Lets see what happens.

    Thank you so much.

    I am COMMITTED

  15. Kay says:

    I have too much time on my hands, but wallowing in despair for lack of focus since moving. I’m committed to improving my life!
