Wednesday Simplistity- 52 Week Challenge

Hubby took this pic on our trip to PA at Columbus, OH

Happy 4th of July to my American readers! Hope you have a great day of good food and family fun.



My simplification of my home has been slow work and I haven´t had as much success since I haven´t been feeling well. So I believe I need more structure to my plan and I found a 52 week challenge on organization at orgjunky.com which I plan to use to simplify as well. She has a printable sheet where you can write what 52 places in your home needs to be organized and simplified. I thought to begin with that 52 places might not be enough but then I started writing it out and I realized that it was harder than I thought to find so many places.

Here is my list:

1. My clothes
2. O´s clothes
3. M´s clothes
4. New baby clothes
5. Linen Closet
6. Pantry Shelves
7. Downstairs Desk
8. Guest bedroom closet
9. Toys
10. Kitchen Drawers 
11. Under Sink
12. TV cabinet
13. Living room shelves
14. Art Cabinet
15. Piano Top
16. Fridge
17. Freezer
18. Yarn
19. Cloth Diapers
20. Bathroom Cabinet
21. Medicine Cabinet
22. Top of the Drier (this is a huge clutter zone for me)
23. Laundry station
24. Back yard toys
25. Entry Closet
26. Entry Hangers
27. Shoes
28. Snack cabinet
29. Counter Topes
30. Basement Bin 1
31. Basement Bin 2
32. Basement Bin 3
33. Gardening Tools
34. Bedroom Drawers
35. Car
36. Back Pourch
37. Guest Bedroom shelves
38. Tax Papers
39. Fire Box
40. Changing Table
41. Stored Clothing
42. Books
43. Laptop
44. Photos
45. Bathtub Top
46. Built in cabinet in Living
47. Living area
48. Wine Cabinet
49. Basement
50. Garage
51. Master Bedroom 
52. Children´s room

There is my list. Each week I will post a before and after photo of how I organized and simplified these areas. This way I am not getting away with not working on my plan. I am making a tab for this on the top of my page where I will draw a line through each thing that I work on and link it to the post where I describe the things I use for organization and simplification and have my photos. I believe that once you have finished your first year that it is easier the next years if you just keep cycling through your list for your house.

If you have followed me for a while then you know I have used FlyLady.net for my daily choirs but she hasn´t worked very well for me for deep cleaning and good organization. But I will put my 52 week list in my house folder.    If you would like to join me in my organization and simplification feel free to post your accomplishment in the comments of each Wednesday update.

What part of your house do you dread the most to tackle?
