The thirty-day challenge

The short answer

Thirty days, one small task a day, most of them fifteen minutes: the bench, the junk drawer, ten pieces of paper, five things that do not fit. Every seventh day is the same: take the week's bags where they go. Miss a day and do the next one; the sheet does not care which day it is.

One box a day. Write the date in the corner when you do it, not before.

What is on the sheet?

What usually comes up?

What if I miss a day?

Do the next task the next day. The numbers are an order, not a calendar. A thirty-day challenge that takes forty days still ends with thirty spots done.

Why is every seventh day the bags?

Because the pile by the door is where most declutters die. A task that only moves things to the hall is not finished until the bag has left the house, and once a week is often enough to keep the hall clear.

Where do the bags go afterwards?

Op shop, refund, drop-off or bin: Where does it go? answers it by state. The other sheets are on the printables page.
