Fill out this printable now, while you're excited and determined, to use to remind yourself of why you decided to start decluttering in the first place, and then review it on those tough days to keep yourself moving forward to accomplish your goals.
The printable that follows, below, is just for you, and you don't have to share what you fill out on it with anyone unless you want to.

You might decide to look at your filled out printable when, for example, decluttering feels especially hard, or you're unmotivated, or tired and would rather not do your mission for the day.
