Home Organization Challenge 2025
Happy (almost) New Year, friends! It’s officially that time—time to kick off the annual UnBURIED Home Organization Challenge! I couldn’t be more excited to start simplifying my home and my life, and I hope you’ll join me on this transformative journey.
The challenge officially begins on Saturday, January 11th, 2025, and over the next 12 months, we’ll declutter and simplify our homes, one space at a time. Whether you’ve been holding onto clutter for years or just feel overwhelmed by everyday mess, this is your year to finally let it go.
The Challenge Kit
Before we dive in, be sure to download and print out your free challenge kit! You can grab it from Google Drive or our private Facebook Group—whichever works best for you. This kit is packed with tools and checklists to help you stay on track throughout the year.
The Goal
Our goal for this challenge isn’t just to organize your home—it’s to help you remove the things you no longer use, need, or love. This isn’t about shuffling things around to make a space Instagram-worthy or creating Pinterest-perfect color-coded closets. Nope, this is about going deeper.
We’ll take the time to ask the hard questions:
- Why do we hold on to things we haven’t touched in years?
- Are we keeping items out of guilt or obligation?
- Are we holding onto things “just in case” or because they belonged to someone we loved?
Each month, we’ll tackle one space, one drawer, or one shelf at a time. We’ll dig deep—literally and emotionally—to uncover why we keep what we do and learn to let go of the rest. It’s not about losing memories; it’s about gaining freedom. Things don’t define us, and they don’t hold our memories. When we make space by removing what’s unnecessary, we open up our homes and our minds to what truly matters.
The Process
Here’s how the challenge works:
- Weekly Email Prompts: I’ll send you helpful reminders and tips straight to your inbox.
- Self-Guided Pace: While I’ll share monthly prompts to keep us on track, you can go at your own pace.
- Blog Inspiration: Check out my blog for additional organizing tips, DIY ideas, and photo inspiration.
This challenge isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. Whether you finish each month’s task right on schedule or take a little extra time, it’s all part of the process.

What to Expect
This is more than just decluttering. It’s about rediscovering what’s buried under the “stuff” and creating a home that feels lighter, more peaceful, and more aligned with who you are today. It’s about letting go of guilt, making room for joy, and learning to live with intention.
The first challenge kicks off on January 11th, so enjoy the New Year celebrations, relax a little, and get ready to roll up your sleeves. I can’t wait to see your progress, cheer you on, and hear about the impact this challenge has on your life.
