Step 2: Reward

As your reward, choose something from the list of things that bring you happiness that you made in Step 2 of of Get Organized Mission #7: Be Happy! – and spend this week’s 30 minutes doing it. You so deserve it!

Dos & Don’ts

• Don’t neglect this reward. It will help reinforce the cool organizing behaviors that are becoming a habit for you.
• Do enjoy the feeling of achievement – no matter how imperfect you’ve been. Progress is more achievable and more important than perfection.

Extended Organizing Mission Options

Want to go beyond this 30-minute organizing mission?

• Catch up on any of the Missions you may have missed or skipped.
• Repeat any of the Missions that are ripe for revisiting. Missions 1 and 8 are excellent choices if general clutter has built up; other missions are good for specific trouble zones.

Ready, Set, Go!

Remember – move quickly, act fast, don’t overthink.
