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!

I have YET to find any system that works to get me organized. I love your energy and I’ve got a good feeling about this one. I am IN!! I’m going to go clean my car, as it’s been out of control for a while!
Let’s get going! I need to organize my life.
Woohoo! I’m excited to start.
Let’s go!
wallet — check
purse–check
bring on week 3!
I’m in! 🙂
I have many of these set up. reviewed done.
This is just what I need. I am still working on my home management notebook since January. I’m almost there. This sounds perfect for me.
Definitely in — it’s incredible to me how organized I can be about my business and, well, almost nothing else these days (aka, post kids days!). Absolutely committed this time — gotta get this house in shape to get ready for a move, and have everything ready to start off right in the new house.
First mission, fill up a large trash bag ~ make choices from a complete list of items provided by the Get Organized Wizard. Did it. If we could weigh this house, it would be 1000 lbs lighter. LOL… well, it certainly felt like 1000lbs
when we were carrying it to the GoodWill.
I would add one other category to the Wizards fine list. Items that you are keeping because you think the kids might want them. Ask the kids. I did. Guess what? They don’t want the stuff. They already have too much stuff of their own!. OK… so a few keepsakes. But mostly… Thanks, Mom, but nope.
I work from home. So, a simplified life, and uncluttered surroundings …??
Very important. Clutter is distracting.
Good Luck, everyone.
I’m ready to get started!
This is one of my new years resolutions and I have been practicing it faithfully. I have stopped making excuses and have just said no.
Looking forward to getting started!
OK, Here I go!
Commit Me.
I’m ready.
OK commitment is really hard for me but I’ll give this a try. Thanks.
I need to to declutter my life and spirit! Let’s start with the physical clutter!!
I admit I have a problem and thanks for the kick in the pants!! I CAN DO this!! Thank you.
I’m all in.
