31 Days of Organization + a Free Printable Checklist

Let’s face it: we can all use a little bit of motivation to tackle those nagging items on our to-do list that always seem to get pushed aside. Use this free printable checklist and join me for a 31 Days of Organization challenge, where we’ll tackle one small task each day to get our home, work, and life on track this month!

The New Year is a great time to start fresh with a clean and organized home. But if you’re like me, you rarely have a chance to devote large chunks of time to actually sorting through your stuff!

As I was recently making myself a list of things that just NEED to get done around the house, I figured that you all might find it useful as well. By spending a few minutes each day to accomplish one specific task, the results at the end of a month will be astounding. It’s a great way to get the year started off right — even for those of us with very busy schedules!

You can download the free PRINTABLE checklist HERE!

Feel free to pin this list to your refrigerator or your desk, pick and choose the tasks that you want to get done, or add in other items that I may have forgotten. Make it your own! Here’s my list:

1. Update Calendar (add birthdays, holidays, and important reminders to 2016 desk calendar)

2. Organize Gift Wrap Supplies (I store my rolls of wrap standing up in a tall laundry basket and my bags/ribbon in smaller bins)
