January Junk Out Jamboree 2024

My January Junk Out Jamboree is in full swing. and it feels sooooo good! In the spirit of full transparency, I actually started in December. When we were preparing for the re-pipe, I just started nesting. It’s to the point where even the boys have asked “mom, why are you cleaning out every single room?” And Honey “I don’t even know if you’re human anymore.” HAHA! He’s already hauled TWO FULL car loads of stuff to donate – no closet, drawer or room is safe.

Back when the nesting hit, I made a list of 31 areas to clean, purge and organize. I find doing it this way is so much more manageable and motivating. I don’t necessarily go in order. Instead, I pick a task – big or small – that can reasonably be accomplished with whatever other commitments I have that day. My list goes into my notebook that never leaves my sight.

Here is my 2024 list with an X by what I’ve done:

1. x garage shelf and lockers
2. x garage closets
3. x mudroom

Do you do an annual cleaning challenge like this? I used to do mine at lent, but was motivated to start in January a while back and loved getting off on a fresh, clean start!
