1 Week Clutter Free Room Challenge – Results

This post may contain affiliate links.

by Carolyn 2 Comments

I must say that I am so happy that I did this. My 1 Week Clutter Free Room Challenge. I thought it would be almost impossible to keep this room looking great all week. I always blame our crazy life and our 3 kids for the constant mess. Well, this just proves that if I just took a couple minutes to pick up each night then things would look pretty amazing around here.

One Week Clutter Free Room Results

Let’s start from the beginning.

  1. I cleaned up and reorganized our family room to handle our Christmas mess. See my Before and After Post here.
  2. I decided to pick up every little thing in my family room every night for 1 week.
  3. Even when it got pretty messy during the day it motivated me to constantly remind the kids to put away their stuff because I knew if I didn’t it would be a bigger mess for me later that evening.
  4. Found out it only took 2 minutes sometimes to put away the small things left out and that small step gave us huge returns!

Here is one day when it became messy during the day.

1 Week Challenge Family Room During

Now previously I would pick up most of it but inevitably there would be a toy or something that I didn’t really know what to do with it or it belonged in a place I just didn’t “feel” like walking to right then and over a week those little things would build up. Next thing I knew my family room looked a mess.

This evening I can truly say that my family rooms looks exactly like it did 1 week ago. I am pretty impressed with myself right now, its the little things right? 😉

Family Room 1 Week Challenge

What I can take away from this challenge:

  1. Just take 2 minutes every night to put EVERYTHING away. This has the effect of motivating me to to pick up often during the day so that my nightly job isn’t too big a job.
  2. I want to do this in more areas of my home.

I’ll post a new challenge for myself soon.

This post will be shared at my favorite linky parties.
