After a hiatus in 2022, my January Junk Out Jamboree is in full swing. Believe me, I can tell that I took a year off of the deep cleaning and organization.

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 2023 list:

1. garage shelf and lockers
2. garage closets and repaint door
3. mudroom
4. kitchen cabinets and touch up paint
5. kitchen pantry
6. kitchen lights (basically dust and clean the bulbs) and oven
7. polish copper pots
8. hall closet
9. den baskets and lights
10. dining room light
11. polish silver
12. living room cabinets and desk
13. office closet
14. office drawers and cabinets
15. porch
16. john’s closet and clean all bedding
17. john’s drawers and desk
18. whit’s closet and clean all bedding
19. whit’s drawers and desk
20. guest room closet
21. guest room drawers and armoire
22. master closet
23. master drawers and clean all bedding
24. fridge in kitchen and garage
25. master bath and refill toiletries
26. boy’s bath and refill toiletries
27. guest bath cabinets
28. laundry room
29. basement cabinets
30. powder room
31. my car and purse

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!
