Are you struggling with the time to declutter your home? Get inspired by the Getting Clutter Free in 15 Minutes a Day Hall of Fame, and do your own short mission today.
I know what it feels like when you don't think you can make time to remove junk, old stuff, trash, and items you no longer want from your home.
You look at the mess around you and think, I'm going to have to block off a whole day or longer to deal with this mess, but I can't clear that much time out of my schedule!
Because of that exact thought process I've developed the Declutter Your Home In 15 Minutes A Day Missions, where everyday you get a mission for something to declutter that will roughly take you a quarter of an hour to accomplish.
I know that might not sound like much, but there is power in 15 minutes! Those little blocks of time add up fast, and over time will make a HUGE difference in your home.
This is the Hall of Fame for those missions (if you want to participate click the link above to grab your own printable monthly decluttering calendar and get to work!).
Declutter 365 participants have been doing these missions for years now, and I've heard and seen some amazing success stories from those using this method, and wanted to share some of them with you below.
As an example, here's a comment I received from a participant, Jacky, who said, "Taylor, you know I have been following your program for about 3 years and keep going back and re-decluttering every year. I have gotten rid of a ton of stuff. I still follow[] the challenges and keep improving. Thank you!!!"
You can skip down here to find out how you can be included in the hall of fame.
I've identified 15 categories of decluttering tasks that the 365 missions I've created fall into.

When you gather up the items you're decluttering for the day, before you trash them, throw them in the donate box, or otherwise get them out of your house take a quick last look and snap a photo to share your accomplishment with me.
The most important thing to me is you do the mission, so whether you do it on the day it's assigned or not to me is not relevant. You'll get credit whenever it gets done.
Just make sure you tell me what mission you were working on so I can organize the hall of fame so others can look at it to get their own inspiration.
You can share your photo(s) on the site's Facebook wall, when you share your picture, or upload the pics directly to the site through the form below.
In addition, if you've got your own blog and you want to share the picture there, send me a link to your post and I'll link to it from the Hall of Fame, as long as you provide a link to the Declutter Your Home in 15 Minutes a Day Missions, and give me permission to share your photos here on the site.
Use the form below, or share on social media as explained above. In addition, make sure you grab your virtual badge (see the bottom of the page for the code) for participating in one of the missions! Be proud of your accomplishments.
Have you participated in one of the Declutter Your Home In 15 Minutes A Day Missions, either while it was running for the day or when it was convenient for you?
Are you proud of your accomplishments and want to show the world what you decluttered today, and are getting out of your home?
Here's your chance to tell me about it. Pictures are highly encouraged, but you can also just write a description of what you decluttered too (note you've got to at least explain what we're seeing in the picture you upload).
You can send up to four pictures in each submission.
All participants being featured here in the Hall of Fame can also grab this badge if they wish:
