I missed my annual January Junkout Jamobree this year so it’s back to 40 Bags in 40 Days for me. I really prefer to kick off the year with a clean slate, but work was absolutely bonkers.

I made a list of 40 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. Mother and Sister always joke about stealing it and reading everything I’ve jotted down. :-) I have lists for everything under the sun.

Here is my 2022 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)

9. den baskets and lights
10. dining room light
11. polish silver
