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!

Enough is enough – I am ready to declutter

Excellent Chia! I’m looking forward to seeing you on the mission comments!
Finally worked out how the app works (I gave up too soon…it looks soooo daunting!). I’m quite ready (disparate) now to give it a go!
Started to de-clutter and have already taken 2 car loads to the tip and half way through my wardrobe…. Feeling much better about how are home looks and works.
Wow that’s fantastic Jess! 2 car loads to the tip is amazing!! I bet you’re feeling way better. 🙂
I want to sign up to fill a huge trash bag this week!

Congrats on taking that step Julie! I’m looking forward to seeing you in the comments for Mission 1! 🙂
Finished Mission 1 and it was amazing. Don and I worked it together. We set the timer for 30 minutes, got two garbage bags, and we only made it through 2 rooms before the bags were full AND we had a box of things to donate!
Great work guys! Fantastic start. 🙂
I’m in.
Welcome along Debbie!
Michelle I am just doing mission 1 only in different areas. I did another 1/2 today on a cupboard where I have a lot of papers. Have checked off the first one but can only do that one time. Also am not sure if it is different as I am using my ipad app.
That’s cool Dianne – do absolutely whatever works and gets you moving through the clutter. There are missions for various specific areas (eg paperwork) but just do whatever feels good. 🙂
I am passing on this website to contacts and in return offer flylady.net as valuable in this arena .
Today I did about 45 minutes removing trash from my bedroom – have some more to go but it feels good to get that much done. Found papers from 2004 that I had stashed away. Great clearance.
Sounds like you’re getting rid of heaps of clutter, Dianne. Woohoo!
PS Which mission are you doing? If you like, you can check in on the mission itself. Just follow the links in your 52 Organizing Missions workbook. M 🙂
Just completed 1/2 hour removing trash from my living room. Moving on.
Nice work Dianne!
