I'm using the two together, as they are intended to be used, but I can see how you could just use the weekly challenges and do your own daily missions to complete the weekly challenge. I really like the daily missions, though, because they give me something very specific to do. For example, one day the mission was to organize the silverware drawer. Well, we have about four drawers that could qualify because everything was just that spread out. I did all of them that day and now I can find everything I need as soon as I need it!
This week's challenge is kitchen counters and sink. The daily missions mostly support this goal. Yesterday, I got started with the "organize utensils" goal and just ended up doing a couple of other daily missions at the same time. I've never been happier with my kitchen than I am right now!
All it took for me to become a believer in this organizational and decluttering system was a few days. I'm a convert. I can't wait to do the rest of my house! I threw a TON of stuff away while decluttering my countertops and silverware drawers. Broken items, very cheap silverware I bought when I was poor (lol) and that had started to rust, and just junk that we had in drawers that we had no reason to keep. Next week is cabinets and remaining drawers. I can't even tell you how much of a relief it's going to be to get that done.
I'm looking forward to keeping my kitchen this nice and neat permanently - and to making the rest of my house look just like this - organized, functional, and pretty. :)
What about you? How do you organize and keep things the way you like them? It's a constant struggle here, and I would love to see how others handle it!
