Heather says, The effort involved in this week’s challenge will depend on your pack rat tendencies. This week’s goal is to get rid of excess magazines and books that no, you are not going to read. The Friends of the Library is a great place to donate old books and quality magazines, like National Geographic. Check with … Read more
Heather says If you’ve ever taken the time to check out weekly chore schedule (foreshadowing to next week). You’ll see that on Sunday I suggest taking a moment to look over the upcoming week and figuring out what you have to do when. I used to be really good at remembering everything that needed to … Read more
Heather says: Recently we worked through organizing the kitchen (see Challenges 6 – 10) if you want to play catch-up. Today we’re going to combine the kitchen organization with our last couple of weeks of financial focus. I want to be very, very clear. I absolutely know that little tips like not buying convenience items … Read more
Heather says This week is a continuation of last week’s theme, getting your finances in order. Last week we took stock of our finances, making sure money is allocated to the right places. Having the money to pay your bills is just the first step, the next is making sure they actually get paid. This … Read more
Heather says Just pretend this organizational challenge is an elevator, there is no 13th floor. Last week was Easter and it felt, to me, a bit inappropriate to mail out a challenge. So here we are in April, if you’re in the US it is tax season. It’a good a time as any to sit … Read more

Heather says; This week’s organizational challenge may arrive just a little too late to prevent some hassle. Was there a scramble this morning? Today go through your home and change all of your clocks to the correct time. No, you don’t have to play along if you’re in Arizona or another country that doesn’t participate … Read more
Heather says How are those counters looking after last week? Do they need a quick re-visit? It’s absolute okay if they do. Getting your home organized is a process and it takes time. I forgot to announce the winner of the bamboo cutting boards. An email has been sent, if your email address is martha******@gmail.com, … Read more
Remember back in January, week 2 to be precise, when we tackled the entryway? If you are anything like me any free counter space quickly attracts all kinds of clutter. What I quit stashing by the front door, likely found a home on the kitchen counters. Today your mission is to clear your counters of … Read more
Heather says: Last week’s refrigerator clean out challenge likely freed up some leftover containers. Today your mission is to pull out all of your storage containers and make sure each and every one has a lid. The lid should actually fit and create a seal. If not? Toss it in the recycling bin. I’ve found … Read more
