52 Mini Organizing Missions

All right lets get started.

Accountability is something I need desperately. It seems to get me motivated.
Let’s do this…. c’mon, what’s the first task??? It kinda freaks me out that I’m excited about this

This is a GREAT idea — I really hope this works for me! Thanks

Ok.. I’m in! Can this really be done?? I sure hope so! Need to de-clutter and get a good system in place. Thanks for your help.

Yes, OK I confess… I have a pile that needs to be sorted, and it would be nice to see the bottom of it by this time next year!!

I’m scared to death to start, but I’ve go to do something to “get it” together!

I’m in too! The only way is up!

I’m in. Being accountable to someone other than myself is definitely what’s needed for me right now.

OK, Michele. I choose to accept these missions. Just don’t give me any that are gonna self destruct on me. Hit me, I’m ready.

I would like to accept the missions too!

Count me in!!!

I’m in, and I think I’m looking forward to it!!!!

COunt me in!

I’m IN…let’s go!

I’m ready!

I’m in!

Let’s give it a whirl

Deep breath! Ok, Im ready. Whip me into action!

OK, count me in too! I live in chaos right now. New job, trying to have a baby, life in a major mess…….need help……..

This is what I need. I’m ready!

I’m in! Just what I need & I’m sooo ready!

I’m in!!

I’m in!

Looking forward to it!

Awesome idea. I’m psyched! Let’s go….!

I’m happy to give it a try!

Me too.

Ready, steady, when do we go?

May as well get going, no one is going to do it for me.

This sounds fantastic and just the motivation I need to walk the talk. Excellent idea.

I love being organised – it makes me feel like Im on top of things so this can only make me even more organised.

If this works for me it is foolproof!

I’m in.

Hold me accountable! I’m all in!

I have decided to join in as I have been holdng onto stuff, so I am off for my first 30 min and get the black- only mine are pink ones – off to the bedroom now

@MicheleConnolly Thanks for the wonderful blog and 52 missions! Very helpful and inspiring! http://twurl.nl/7swb81

OK… I’m ready for this! I am ready to fill up lots of trash bags!

I’ve had my head in the sand for so long, I’m ready for a big change.

Hi

My daughter sent me your first task.

I had a wonderful time throwing things out. I did not think I would find much as I do send stuff to Charity shops quite regularly, but once I got started I found lots that was not really good enough for resale.

I’m in!

ok, lets roll

I’m a bit late, but I’m also joining up!

I could really do with some de-cluttering

I’m making the commitment to start today.

Ok, lets do the damn thing!

I am in!

i finished mission one today. It took a couple of hours after work since one thing led to another. I filled my garbage bin and my recycling bin. Once I was moving I kept right on going, washed the car, worked in the garden, did the laundry, worked on the kitchen.

The fact that I found this today must mean something! I am all in!

I’ve been trying to get organized forever…. Let’s try something new….

Let’s get into it.

Hi,

I’m also in. Wouldn’t it be so nice to see our lives more organized?
The time has come. I am looking forward to the missions!

I am making the commitment

Ok here goes!

ok I’m In what happens next

I am committed and accountable.

I’m in!

I have lots that I wish to achieve in life but confess to putting off getting started or getting on with tasks. I am hoping that being more organised will help keep me on track with my personal goals while also improving the way I go about my family commitments and relationships.

I am committed and accountable.

Here goes……

Bring it on!!!!

I am ready for the challenge!

I’m ready!

I am more than ready!

Getting organized is usually an overwhelming task. But, really, 30 minutes a WEEK?! If I can’t find 30 minutes a week, I have a bigger problem than organization. Let’s get started!

Wow! I am so ready to embrace this change! Thanks for sharing your organizational strategies with this organizationally challenged soul!

Ready to go!!

I am looking forward to decluttering my life and getting organization back into it so that I can move forward in my life

Ok let’s do this!!

I’m on it! Excited to get started, cause ya know, I suck at holding myself accountable. So, I’m going to let the internet do it! Is it alright for me to link to your site from my personal blog when I write posts about the missions?

I’m in, and making myself acountable:) so glad something like this online, so helpful!

Scary and Exciting Simultaneously

Bring it on! I’m going to get my 5 year old to help aswell. It’s never too early to start.

I am sooooo ready to stop procrastinating, to destress, declutter, and organize my life! Bring on mission #1.

Let’s get this organization party started!

I sure hope that this works!!!! I need all the help I can get.

This is just what I need!

This is it! The chicks have flown the nest leaving their clutter behind them and DH and I have built up a fair old stack of our own. Summer break in the UK and a good time to start…….Let the organising begin!

I’m in. Looking forward to a bit of sanity in my crazy world

I’m willing to give it a try.

Lets get started, I’m looking forwad to this

Lets get started, I’m looking forward to this

I’m ready!

OK, Let’s get started!

Ok, me too – I’m in!

OK – here we go lets get organised!!!! X

Ok – I’m in!

I really need this!

My life has changed recently in so many ways. I want to feel positive about it by changing my habits in my daily life.

Ready!

Let’s get this party started!

I am officially committing to this program now. It’s that or go get myself committed. Seriously!

Just signed up and really excited that I may finally get organised. I work from home and am drowning under a sea of paperwork. I have no work/life balance as I’m so disorganised and untidy – there I admitted it!! But judging by the amount of posts on this site I’m certainly not alone. I know what I’ve got to do but keep procrastinating as I’m not accountable to anyone – well I am now, so bring it on!!!

If this will help me find my desk again, I am willing to try anything!!

something in my life needs to change as my husband and I feel that we are chasing our tails and living in a tip. I am hoping that this will motivate me to do something about it

I am done with this mission!!! It really makes a difference. Not only is the car looking and smelling better, but I think people take notice and make an effort as well.

Ok first mission complete…. I have been away so Its been a bit tricky not getting emails…. I am committed I just comitted to fixing my marriage first.

I’m really excited to get started! Here’s to streamlining my life!

I am doing this to get my life in order. I deserve to have my mind free of guilt!

Can’t wait to get started and get organised! Will tackle the fill a huuuuge trash bag this weekend.

Let’s go.

I am ready to get my life organized!!!!

Let’s do this!!! I desperately need some organization to my home and life!

I’m committed! This should be fun…cluttered brain will thank me

Alright, I’m getting married in two weeks, but now is as good a time as any to jump in and get organized. I’m in!

Looking forward to getting the missions.

Let’s get this party started!

OK

I’m in and starting my first mission! This is awesome!

I commit to de-cluttering and organization!

Can’t wait!

Let’s get going….Get de-cluttered

alrighty – i’ll try it then.

I’m in

Here

I’m ready.

This one seems more like a goal or change of mindset than an actual action to do this week. I think its very pertinent though, and one I need to remember! Last week’s I was in good shape on. Thanks for the reminder here that free is not really free.

Ready. Set. Go!

I am drowning in clutter – is there a clutterers anonymous?

Michelle – I think this is fabulous and can’t wait to receive my first mission!

I am all over it! Thanks for this, really it is going to be amazing I can just FEEL it!

Okay, lets go!

I’ve read many books and websites on organization, decluttering, etc. I believe this one’s a keeper! Looking forward to the challenges. Thanks, Michelle.

There’s no such thing as being TOO organised. I can’t wait to get on and get refining my organisation.

I’m really excited about doing this. I’m ready!

I look forward to being organized in all parts of my life:) Thanks for the opportunity.

Been lazy over the summer. Kids home, routines gone south. Time to refocus and get busy.

Ready…Set…GO!

Ditto – ready…set…go!

OK, I’m ready to do this!

In the past I have tried to break my sloppy bad habbits with no sustained results. This time I really want to get organized and stay organized. Thanks

I am following this new social phenomenon with great interest, cleaning up the clutter in our lives reintroduces us to the crafts of living.

It is SO nice to know I am not alone in my ‘organised’ disorganisation…..

Scared? YES
Nervous? YES
Excited? YES

Ready to change my life? ABSOLUTELY

Thankyou!

I have even committed and put the badge on my blog http://marakye.com.au/blog/?p=342

I can’t put this off anymore, I’m ready to actually find things without having to book ahead!

Im ready, lets do this! enough is a enough

I’m normally a VERY organized person, but sometimes things slide a little. For instance, my DH has been home, injured, for 6 months. He’s recovering well, but there are a lot of little things that simply haven’t gotten done. Thanks for the motivation and a plan to do it with!

I’m in!

Somebody needs to help me! I am in, got nothing to lose but a lot of clutter!

I am in in in!

(BTW I’m an editor…you probably want to change the “URI” before the previous box to “URL”)

Thanks for this wonderful gift of a year of organizing!

Let’s do this! I am tired of living in disorganization!

Let’s get started.

I’m excited! Hopefully soon I will be feeling organized instead of overwhelmed.

i’m in!!

All set to start!

This will work with a little bit of work from me. Rady for mission 1

Ready for Mission 1. A great time to start as I’m on holidays!

I started and got to mission #9 or 10 and then they stopped coming. I have checked for them in my garbage mail but can’t find them. I want to continue with the missions but … can you help me? Please! Thanks
Brenda

I’m ready! let’s get started

let’s get this done – i am ready to staart!

This looks like fun! Thanks for doing this!

I’m jumping on the band wagon! Can’t wait to do my first mission!

I am ready!

This is exciting stuff! I’m starting my new morning routine tomorrow!

thanks for all the great tips!

This looks like a fun way to tackle my time wasting habits of procrastination and disorganisation. Looking forward to seeing how it goes.

I am so in! Let’s go!

Ruth,
Thanks for your comment about using URI. I’ve changed this to say ‘Web site’ instead – much less confusing.

Sounds like alot of great tips to come. I’ve been doing the big trash bags things for several months (really cleared the clutter in my home and in my life). I think I still might be able to eek out another bag or two. I’m looking forward to all the other tips though and maintaining what I’ve started

OK I’m in…let’s roll.

Ok. I’ll give it a whirl…

I’m ready

This is great just the extra boost I need. I have been de-cluttering and going through “stuff”…now I just need to get it out the door and redo the going through things being ruthless!!

I’am waiting for this challenge!

deep sigh, gulp and I so want to succeed this – forever – this time around. The bite size weekly tasks should make it doable! (crossing my fingers!) I’m in!

I would love to start and I applaud the concept.Looking forward to the challenge.

I’m ready to get going. Good luck to all.

Count me in! I really do need it!!!

Done! Slow but sure!

I’m gonna try too.

Mission 3 – DONE!

Done

Let’s do this!

Blast Off!

got it!

Done!

I have too much time on my hands, but wallowing in despair for lack of focus since moving. I’m committed to improving my life!

I am in on improving my life and hopefully the quality of it also. This house is out of control and beyond hope, or I thought so until I found your site. Lets see what happens.

Thank you so much.

I am COMMITTED

I’m ready to re-organize and declutter my home and my life

Thank you xx

I am definitely committed!

Okey doke!

yup, I’m in. At this point, I have read a lot and even put some of those brilliant tips into action, but this cries for discipline… Dang, if I don’t stop merely hoarding (filing) all that useful stuff and fooling myself about needing the big picture completed first, it’ll all end up as another huge unfinished castle-in-the-air. Thanks already, Michele, for the option of manageable chunks and regular step-by-step lessons. Looking forward to a year of improving habits

I’m starting this… oh my goodness! Just dreaming about taking one step at a time to a less cluttered house (do you have a place to organize kids??)

You bet I’m in! I want to be clutter free!

I’m ready to give it my best. I’m overwhelmed by my stuff.

I’m in! I’ve lived with clutter long enough. I want to be free of it!!

Ready to get this mess under control! Bring it!

I’m in. Ready to go!

OK. Last week i did mission #1 – this week #2 – everytime I open my purse or back back I pull stuff out to detox it. it only takes a minute.

Ready. Set. Go.

Count me in! Really looking forward to becoming more in control of my life.

I have completed the first mission. Thought I wouldn’t find anything, because I’ve been attempting the declutter thing for a while, but managed to fill my garbage bag anyway.

Mission 1 completed last week. Now onward to mission 2, which I pretty much do weekly anyway. So I have time to extend the exercise to my semi-packed suitcase for quick get-away trips.

Hope this works…been trying for a long time.

Looking forward to decluttering my life….starting with the house. Thanks for the motivation. Lets get started.

i am ready for change.

Mission#1 – Done!

I’m in!

Let’s do it!

I’m commited!

Sarah and Dave Grup

Alright! Let’s go!

OK, here goes. I’m about to move house so hopefully there will be plenty of de-cluttering!

lets do it

Getting started! I’m excited!

I am committing to starting today.

For a long time I have been procrastinating. I buy a lot of books on organization but do nothing about it. At last I am going to begin.

I found this website and am sooo excited to get started. Or should I stay “continuing.” I am in the middle of organizing areas of my apartment. Maybe I don’t have to do it all in one month. Let’s go!!!

I like to be organized but I’m horrible procrastinator. I’m hoping this will help me get done all these things that have been stressing me out!

Yay! Let’s do it!

Saturday November 14, 2009 I hereby commit 30 minutes+ a week for the next 52 weeks to Get Organized.

I am ending this year the right way…with a clean house (hopefully) I am tired of saying “I am about to” – give me a minute, thats all I am doing tommorow. and a week later, it never got done.

I am doing it.

WEEK 1 – Have not only one but three trash bags ready TO GO .What a WAY to start the NEW YEAR 2010 . Heading into a CLUTTER-FREE & organized LIFE is so wonderful . These have been my new year resolutions for so many years & with minimal success & I won’t be saying that this time next year !!!!!

Can’t think of a better way to start the new year

I’m ready to make 2010 my best year ever–52 Missions will go help me achieve this goal. Thanks!

Sounds like a great way to start the new year.

Would love to start the new year in this way!

WOW….. I’m ready to make 2010 my best year ever!
52 Missions will go help me achieve this goal.
Thanks

I’m ready to make some real changes in 2010. 52 Missions sounds like a great way to start. Bring it on.

I’m in! My finances have Peace after 2 years of aggressive budgeting… now I just need to bring peace and order to other parts of life! Game on! I just hope my family is ready for this.

Ok! I ´m ready to start now!! Can´t wait to start!!

I hope I am up to this. I am really going to try,

Happy to have found you all–and I commit to making 2010 my best year! I am so ready to organize ME and my family.

So I got sidetracked in posting after the 45 minutes I took to fill the huge black lawn and leaf garbage bag (along with my 10 and 8 year old) After Christmas there are plenty of things to be thrown away. I even cleaned out my husbands bathroom drawer !

I caught a glance at the next task….oh brother, I am not looking forward to this. onward and upward aye?

A new year and a fresh start! I can’t wait.

This sounds like a fun way to meet the challenges of overhauling my clutter habits and cluttery spaces. Thanks so much! I’m going to DO THIS! Yea for us!

It is on!
Like Donkey Kong!

Thanks for the encouragement and guidance!

You are my new BFF! I’ve needed this for so long! Thank You!

I’m in ….. let’s do this thing!!!!

Okay…”UNCLE” I am surrendering myself – coming out of the ‘perfectionism and procrastination’ closet. Time for significant change.

I am ready. 2010 is the year of massive, positive change

Just do it!

I did it. I got a lot of Christmas stuff that I had kept for years. Now when I set up next year I wont be looking at it wondering why I saved it.

Want to start 2010 right with organization as a goal.

I can do this…. I have too!!! Way to unorganized… Thank you for wanting to help to achieve this goal… I need a buddy…. I can do this…..:-)

Ok…I am ready.

I am in and ready to go.

Let’s get it started.

Im ready!

Ok………… let me have it….. lets go!!!

It’s time to make a few changes. Here we go!

I’m excited!

Five kids, three dogs, two squirrels, a bird, a husband, years of cluttered clutter and complete chaos, new job training, not to mention my scattered mind. If you can help this, you are SO TOTALLY THE FRIGGIN’ BOMB!!!!! IT”S ON!!!!!!

Well that felt good, filled a big bag of rubbish just in the bathroom – make up that i had been holding onto…. just in case…. ditched it – felt really good – thank you

i’m not known for my follow through. i am committing to changing that!

Nothin’ personal, but I don’t think it can be done. I have a lifetime of “Brain-Scramble” and, although I truly want change, my scrambled brain tells me that I am beyone repair.

I can only hope I am wrong and that your system will, in fact, help me to learn how to gain the control I have always wanted. Good luck to both of us.

Yaya

I’m hopeful and ready to start!

I am doing this now because I am ready to be organized and I am ready to do the daily work to stay organized.

I’m ready!!

Let’s roll!

Let’s get started.

I usually read things… Agreed on everything… But never follow through
But I need to change that!
This is the time! I will be 40’s in march and need to give my daughter some exemple of what I ask her to do!!!!
Let’s go Girl! I Can Do It!

Ok, I’m in. A bit scared, but ready.

I’m committed bring it on

Im in

Accountability is very necessary for me, so I hope this will help.

I need this “Big Sister” encouragement. I am in over my head! =0)

kk

I’m in!

Let’s do it! Help me get it together please!

Okay, I’m looking forward to getting started!

On board, getting my bearings & waiting for orders… happy at the prospect of setting sail in a fresh breeze.

Ready for takeoff!

I am a classic Adult ADDer desperately in need of organization and accountability. Enough of disorder and chaos! Let’s get going!

I’m ready to do this and I’m starting right now!

I’m in.

I’m in too!

I’m all in!!!

OK, one bin out the door & to the curb in time for the weekly trash collection the next a.m. (hurrah!)
Yet it was barely a dent.
I’ll need a month of daily half hour missions to sort all the stuff that I want out of the house (both the trash & donations to the charity thrift shop), but at least I’ve made a start and believe I can do this with the inner voice asking “Do I love this? Do I “really” use it? need it? that many? would someone else be better off making use of it?” I know books will be about the hardest, when I get to those.

I overthink everything so I considered approaches to the problem and… thought about what I could most usefully think while doing the mission. I hope you find these helpful & will share what helped you.

Some useful thoughts in tossing:
If you need the article you can find it on line, toss the damn magazine. It’s out of date, out of style, stale, or ugly, broken, cracked, musty, worn, torn, easily replaced. Find the fatal flaw.
OUT out OUT.
The dust on it is proof you don’t use it.
Remember what a lot of stuff your frugal aunts & pack-rat uncle left for your parents & cousins to dispose of? [thank goodness I'm a continent away]
“Why did I buy that?” means it goes. Now.

Some things best banished and NOT thought about:
You paid $$$ for that professional journal, you ought to read it, you really must. [ No, you won't. You don't want to. You have better uses for your time & personal spaces]
I really will fix that.
Someday… [Just wake up from "someday" dreams and admit that now is a long way from when you first had some daydream about using/fixing the thing. OUT!]

Any other useful thought on getting out of the clutches of “stuff”?
thanks!

Hmmm. Seems like I confused the space for accountability vows with that for comments on having done the mission. Sorry.
I’ll scan the comments on the mission completed for helpful ideas.

Ready to organize and simplify!

I GOTTA do this! Im in and sick and tired of the chaos I call my life… WOOOHOOO

As much as I love to procrastinate, I commit to completing each weekly mission.

I’m committed! (or need to be!)

I’m in – let’s get started!

On the program!!!!!

DONE!

i’m up for it – exciting

I’m excited to see what my first mission,will be, bring it on !!!

I’m up for this – I really need/want to do this!!!!

Looks like fun! I’m ready for the mission

We’ve been doing this slowly but surely. I’ve joined just to get the extra push.

Ready…set…go!!

Here goes nothing!!

I’m ready to get started!

Here I go!

I’m Committed! Follow my progress… hopefully… http://messieconfessions.blogspot.com/. We’ll see!

I am ready!

I’m so very ready!

So ready to begin and look forward to it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People say I AM organized, but I say I used to be and I’m still coasting on inertia. I’m here for the motivation and committment and a little bit of self discipline. Over the last few years we’ve accumulated SO Much Stuff. Our parents passed away or went into longterm care, and we brought things home from their homes. The kids have moved in & out a few times & each time they go they leave a little bit more stuff here.

It’s the perfect time of year to get started on spring cleaning and getting our lives in order. I can’t wait – I’m going to get my HUGE bag and get started – I have to be done in time to watch the COLTS WIN!

I am ready,willing and able,and commited !!

Ready…set….let’s go!

I’m so ready to get my life under control and start feeling excited about everything in my life!

I so desperately want to gain control of my life.

No matter how much I clean the house is always messy, chores are always undone, and I am always exhausted at running around chasing my tail

And I start full time work next week so I need to get it all under control.

I am ready! Bring it on!

I am nervous, but i’m going to try!
