Spring Cleaning Challenge: 30 Spaces in 30 Days

About a year ago, I did a 20 Bags in 40 Days challenge. Although marginally successful in the actual challenge, I did a lot more decluttering and organization than I would have done otherwise.

Fast forward to this morning when I woke up and thought to myself,  "Happy April! Spring cleaning time?"

I'm going to take the main steps from the 20 Bags in 40 Days Challenge but apply them to a 30 Spaces in 30 Days Challenge. By the end of this month these 30 spaces will be decluttered, deep cleaned, and organized. Some days I know I won't be able to get to a space but other days I will be able to cover multiple spaces. I am going to take photos along the way to try and capture the change and improvements to our home.

Challenge Steps
1. Make a list of 30 spaces. Start by naming each space in general (i.e. kitchen) and then, if needed, break up each general space into smaller, more manageable spaces, i.e refrigerator, pantry, etc.
2. Label paper bags: Donate, Recycle, Repair, and Trash.
3. Pick a space and get started! Remove all items from the space, clean it, return items that you are keeping to the space and place remaining items into the appropriate paper bag. Repeat the process with each space.
