    I am enjoying this series tremendously…haven’t quite done every single mission…but i do what i can when i can and have FINALLY stopped beating myself up about not being able to do it all. 🙂

    I am so thankful for the progress not perfection. THat is a hard one to fully stick to for me, which, in turn, keeps me from even starting on projects sometimes. I have gotten so much better and I look forward to working on more! Thanks for motivating me.

  6. Sarah says

    I started reading these, but only really committed yesterday. I’m now on day 2. I find your daily tasks to be very doable! Thank you. I would like to get some exercise in daily and get a clear budget worked out with my husband.

  7. Julie says

    “Cluttered spaces
    drain us emotionally and mentally” I agree wholeheartedly!! In order to face the chaos of this world, I need peace and simplicity at home. My home is my refuge and clutter undermines my sanity. Now, if I could just convince the rest of the family! 🙂

    Kimberlee, it wasn’t until I saw your post about lists that I decided to write. I first thought that I might be too late to join in on this project to get organized in 30 days; then I noticed that I had just done the things on you first few days. When I got to today’s post, and your thoughts about a master list, I thought of my dear sweet cousin who helped me with my master list at great length in early February just after my husband of 22 years passed away. She was so loving, and we did a 3 hour brain dump with all the necessary, hard, some fun, and even some escapist items on my list. She turned it into a spreadsheet, with sortables for date it should be done, rating in order of importance, and whether or not someone could help me with it.

    That list, and transferring a few things to my daily list every day, have helped me probably more than anything else in getting through this painful business of death. Social Security, Pensions, Life Insurance, medical bills, regular bills, the mortgage, the cars, what to do with his things, how to make our lives a little bit more livable, even tho Dad isn’t here anymore, care for my youngest (13 years old) daughter, and support for my 18 year old daughter.

    This comment is quite a long way of agreeing that items from a master list that get transferred to a daily list (I did only 2 or 3 a day if I could, and if I had the energy allowed myself only one more item), helped me get through all the priority 1 items I needed to do, and even most of the priority 2 items. There are of course, little untied bits of business, and I’m getting through them, too, with the help of this list and constant encouragement from my cousin.

    Today’s idea about a special place for your daughter’s homework will especially help my daughter and me.

    Thank you so much again for your blog, and your caring presence. I think of you often as I go through my day and try to be the best “new” me I can.

  10. Eileen Pitcher says

    I love the practical information you provide. My daughter suffers from sleep deprivation due to her little one waking frequently. (He’s two) Any tips and helpful information you have to offer around that issue would sure be helpful. Thanks for all you do. Happy Friday.

  11. Joan says

    I tried to comment a few days ago, but don’t think it went through. The things I want to really work on are getting to bed earlier and reducing the clutter in my bedroom.

  13. Jose says

    I’m a bit behind on the days, but I’m going to start turning my phone off an hour before bedtime.

  14. Emilie says

    I signed up while on vacation. Now I need to unpack and get back into daily life. I plan to go back and do the past days over the weekend and then gradually catch up. Thank you for this!

  16. Liz says

    I’ve cleaned my master bedroom and am keeping it clean and peaceful. I love my retreat. I’ve also given away several bags of clothes. It makes doing laundry much easier when i go to put laundry away.

  17. kandaceb says

    Progress– yes! I’ve started clearjng my sink before bed instead of letting some things wait until morning. And I try my hardest to beat my kids at waking up early.

  18. Cyndee says

    My new bedtime habit: I will not start any loads of laundry after dinner. Then I will not realize I still have clothes to dry that I forgot about and be up at 11:00 or midnight trying to finish the wash!

  19. Julie Chase says

    I love this…you are using the two words that get me when it comes to clutter. Simple and not perfect..I struggle with this every single time. And then I can’t sleep because I am thinking of what needs to be done. So tonight after I get ready for bed I am going to try to stop thinking and focus on resting.

  21. Kimecakes says

    Im in need of this challenge to get my bedroom closet organized. Thanks for the inspiration

  23. Andrea says

    I’m about to launch my blog on self and time management for young women and I absolutely love your motto for April! Count me in!!
    Love
    Andrea

  24. Jodie says

    Perfect timing, as I am working on spring cleaning, and some suggestions that take some effort off of my task list is always helpful! Thanks for all you do! Have been praying for you and your family…

  27. Joan says

    It helps so much to be part of a team to work on this project. Your motto is great. I am going to learn to set goals and prioritize. So much of what we have and what we do really isn’t even necessary. Life clutter.

    • The Peaceful Mom says

      So true Joan – our lives do get cluttered and we have to be very diligent to make sure that we are spending our time on our true values. Thanks for joining us!

  28. foursillysisters says

    I am excited to get started on this organization stint… goodness knows I need it!!

  37. Wendy says

    Just stumbled across this! I’ve been trying to declutter, so I’m hoping this will help me keep going! Thanks.

  38. Bridget Myers says

    Yes! Just when I am getting overwhelmed with work/life/chaos/stuff, I came across your 30 days to an organized life. It’s odd when something comes your way just when you need it most. Thank you Kimberlee! 🙂

  39. Darla says

    I am so excited to give this challenge a try! My home needs some serious organization.

  40. Melissa Thomas says

    I am going to participate! I am hoping to be able to follow through with this, I have done (well started) many things like this on different blogs and I never seem to be able to complete them. 🙂 I am really praying I can do this though because I really need it! Most days I am barely keeping my head above water!

    • The Peaceful Mom says

      Hi Melissa – Thanks for joining us. Hopefully the tasks are simple enough that you can keep up but if you make a folder in your email inbox as I suggest in the first post you can file all of the emails and refer to them later if there is one you need to come back to on another day. You can do this! 🙂

  41. Angela Roberts Miller says

    Hoping this is the motivation I need to move on with things I have been meaning to do! That perfection bug gets me ALL. THE. TIME.

  42. The Peaceful Mom says

    That. Is. Awesome. Really terrific idea Sharon!!!!! I would love it if you sent me a photo so I can share it on the blog. If you’re interested just send me a note and let me know. 🙂

  43. The Peaceful Mom says

    I am so happy that you are using my idea and participating in spite of a busy schedule Kathy. If you make one improvement in your life you will be successful. 🙂

  44. Marie Gaffney says

    Wow, this is super-terrific! i’ve only used the Franklin Covey successfully as a day planner previously , but this seems so do-able!

  45. Kathy says

    Love your motto; progress, not perfection! Also love the idea of creating the email folder! I plan to participate, but have some very busy days coming up & know I probably won’t be able to do the assignment every day. This way, I will have them all in one place. Thanks for sharing your great ideas, Kimberlee!!

  46. Sharon says

    I took the words: Progress Not Perfection, put them in my Paint Program and made it into computer wallpaper on my screen so it is in my face

    • The Peaceful Mom says

      Hi Michel – Thanks for joining us. Don’t worry about keeping up. Just do what you can and file the emails in a folder in your inbox for later or pin the post to refer to later. 🙂

    • Elisa Taylor says

      I am still working on my clutter, when I have time I don’t feel motivated, but a game I play is what can I achieve if a commercial is on, or waiting for another reason, 5-15 minutes is amazing what you can accomplish. small tasks like baby steps will eventually get you around the world.

  111. Elisa Taylor says

    When you are alone and not well, it is difficult to be organized in the home, and in the mind. We all need cheerleaders, we all need someone to challenge us at times. Some people can understand your situation, I can relate to it. All we need at times is a friend to come over and give a little hand. I am not bedridden but had long periods where I was. I still have downtimes few times a month; prioritize of tasks is now norm. I can realize that might not even be an option for you at present. Hopefully you can reach out to community resources that you may be eligible for at least to provide ADL’s. Hugs to you!

  113. Elisa Taylor says

    Thanks again, this is more of an organization for the mind and soul, I challenge myself to keep up for the 30 days. Pinned the page you said was ok to get the posts. Made a new board for Just Peaceful Mom.

  114. Terry De Lisle says

    I will be participating. I finally feel like I am having some success when I attempt things, even if I don’t do it 100% 🙂 Thanks!

  124. Camille says

    I love that there is once per day- this makes it not overwhelming and I already feel like I will be successful!!

  131. Lisa Tummers says

    I’m excited about participating! What a lovely focus for April. Thank you, Kimberlee!
