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 posted yesterday but can’t see it today. Anyway I completed my first mission and filled 1 and a half trash bags from the kitchen. Felt great.
What a fabulous start Dianne! Looking forward to seeing you on future missions….
great job.; It
I guess this is where I start. I am committing to breaking free of clutter!
This week I am getting started on my decluttering and organizing project.
Welcome along Dianne! 🙂

I Need this, I want This, Lets do this! XX Audrey
Fabulous Audrey! I shall see you in the mission comments my friend! 🙂
Thank you Michelle. Here’s to organizing…
I’m committing to 52 weeks of organizing my house, my classroom and my life. Today I cleaned out the freezer and got rid of all that food that has “freezer burn” or had dates previous to this year. Some of it still looked okay but I figured if I hadn’t eaten it by now, I probably wouldn’t in the future. It felt good. My clutter is a weight and a stress on me as a high school English teacher and single mom. I look forward to the freedom and lightness or a de-cluttered life.
I miss you, Becca!
Nice to hear from you, Becca! It’s been 7 months, and I miss you!
Wow Rebecca – I can hear the determination in your heart. Congratulations on starting this journey – you’ll feel truly awesome when that weight of clutter has lifted. Looking forward to seeing you in the mission comments! M 🙂

Hi folks, signing in to confirm my committment for the 52M, starting today but hoping it doesn’t take a full year to reach the end 🙂
Great to have you along Amanda! Go as fast or slow as you like. 🙂
Ruthlessly culled some of the drawers in my filing cabinet in my office today and came across some documents from 14 years ago – gone to recycling bin.
Oh yeah that’s a great feeling
Out with the old energy Debra!
I am in for this week! Took a break for a while since I started back to school (which was a goal of mine last May when I signed up…. only 5 terms left until I have my Bachelor’s Degree!) and my house is a mess! Too much homework, so little time…. 🙂
Studying and decluttering! Go Michelle!! 🙂
Started today and worked on totally organizing the kitchen. Worked all day but it looks great….so over due. I had 4 junk drawers that I emptied and it filled a laundry basket. I now have one junk drawer and a huge pile of tools for the husband to put away.
I bet you’ll enjoy cooking in there so much more now Lori. 🙂
We are starting right now. Giddy-up! Brad & Ellen!
You go, guys!
You go, guys!
Starting this week!
Welcome along Melissa!
Okay, here we go! Paid for this organization app, so I have to use it! And now I’m socially accountable for progress; according to psychology, that’ll fix my organization problems
See you at Mission 1 Andrew!
Starting this week. Kitchen renovation is almost complete and after 8+ months I’m ready to gain control of my home again!
