How To Get Organized: Printables & Checklists To Help You Get Started
There's a good way to figure out how to get organized -- use printables and checklists to keep you on track.
Each person, family and home is unique so lists will only get you so far, but they are a great way to get started, to reference when you need ideas, and to get you back on track if you start to get disorganized.
The printables and checklists I've provided will also help you brainstorm ideas for how to use various spaces in your home, and where to store certain items to get the most use out of the space you've got.
Many of these printables can be combined into one book, called a "household notebook," which I suggest you personalize to fit your family's routines, schedules, wants and needs. It can be a working manual to keep your house organized and your family life on track.
Here are the printables I've added so far (check back often because more are added all the time!).
Daily And Weekly Challenges & Missions On The Site
I run both a weekly organizing challenge and a daily decluttering mission on this site, consistently. Here are some printables dealing specifically with these challenges. They're free to join, so I encourage you to check them out and see if you want to participate too!

Get Early Access To The Digital Version Of The 2025 Declutter 365 Calendar With A Small Donation
The 2025 Declutter 365 calendar is hot off the digital press, but I've still got additional work to do on the site, and around the web, to get everything ready to give it away to all subscribers, and update the additional Declutter 365 products for 2025. That additional work will probably take another couple weeks to complete. But I'm so excited I want people to get the 2025 calendar now, if they really want it! (And I'm getting asked daily when it's coming.)
Therefore, for a limited time only, when you donate to Declutter 365 and the site, with a one time donation, you can get early access to the 2025 calendar immediately, plus support this family business and help cover costs which allow me to give this basic Declutter 365 plan away for free to anyone who requests it.
You can also purchase a printed copy of the Declutter 365 calendar here, to get it mailed to you, if you don't want to print it out yourself (available for United States addresses only).
