I’m hardcore this time. On a mission to become a minimalist. A mission of getting this crap out of my dang house.
I am a minimalist cusser these days. Are you proud? I used to have the most horrible potty mouth. I cleaned it up.
So I am going to break it down in to weekly tasks. I get bored staying in one place, so my tasks will move around so I can stay fresh and see improvements everywhere.
I actually started this as 52 weeks. I think 52 weeks will only cause me to slack. So I shortened it by a LOT! So 10 weeks…that is all I am giving myself!
Week 1 of becoming a minimalist starts NOW!
- My room: CLOTHING. There is so much in there that I do not wear. Why do I need it? Do I really need 15 pairs of underwear?
- Office: DESK. The drawers are full of junk.
- Bathroom: LINEN CLOSET. Get rid of all the old stuff and organize the good stuff.
- Kitchen: PANTRY. Purge and organize.
- Laundry Room: SHELF. Purge and organize the short end shelf stack.
- Living Room: CUBBY UNDER THE STAIRS. It’s packed with who knows what. Time to empty that sucker out.
- Stairs: STEPS. There should be NOTHING on the steps, yet there is…always. It needs to go.
- Emma and Laurens room: BOOKS. I need to purge and organize.
- Morgans room: BOOKS. Purge and organize, I’ll help her.
- Kids Bathroom: UNDER SINK. Purge and organize.
So that is it for week one. Weeks start on Mondays and will run through Friday. I will take Saturday and Sunday off from this task. Lists will post on Sundays so that I can prepare for the week.
Would you like to join me? Link your week 1 list below.

I like your idea of breaking it down into weekly tasks. That keeps it much more manageable and less overwhelming. Good luck!
I am just so ready for it all to be gone. I’m siting here wondering why I am holding on to things that have been in boxes for years. Obviously it isn’t needed….
Love that quote!! So very true!
I know, we are always adding more and more and more….we need to slow it done and live a little!
I really need to get rid of clutter. But it can be so overwhelming thanks for breaking it down week by week.
I am getting started on my first week list right now. There is a lot to do. We want to move as well, so getting rid of stuff will make it easier to move.
What a great idea! I go on purges every once in awhile. I hope you are able to hold strong to your 10 weeks!
I get on a roll once in awhile. This time it is crucial that I stick with it.
I love this… I so need to incorporate this into my life… I’m going to work on my list and add it to your linky. I have so much that needs to go…
I can’t wait to see your list!!! We can cheer each other on 🙂
This is a great way to accomplish some of the goals you want for the New Year!
Most definitely!
I need to do this, but I’m not sure I become a total minimalist OR stop cussing like a sailor on shore-leave. LOL
I’m working on it the best I can. It is pretty much crucial because of my health ya know?
