2013 Challenge Schedule & How It All Works

After a lot of planning, I have decided to focus on planning for the January 2013 challenge. I was going to go with rooms, but there are so many other blogs doing rooms, that I decided to plan for each room throughout the year.

Other blogs hosting organization parties for the new year:
A Bowl Full of Lemons {in conjunction with lots of other blogs}
Peter Walsh {on Facebook}
Delightful Order
Apartment Therapy

Here's how the challenges will work:
- You follow along, completing what you feel comfortable with and tweaking whatever you need to make it work for you. I, by no means, expect you to follow along with me and do everything the same way. Not every idea I have works for everyone. Make it work for you!
- There's no set schedule for each day. So if you miss a day, or jump in later on, you can just choose where to begin. Anyone can join in at any time.
- At the end of the month {during the last week} you can share your progress on The Nest Effect. I'll have a link party set up, so if you have a blog, you can link up. If you don't blog, commenting works just as well.
- I want these challenges to be helpful for everyone. I encourage you to leave comments, share blog posts, email me, etc. We can all learn from each other - so if you have an idea, please share!
- If you have any questions, please ask!

I will be back tomorrow with the first post for the January planning series! Today Chris and I are searching through the apartment for items to donate. Our goal for 2013 is to simplify in our lives.

Here's the schedule I decided on for 2013. Each month I will focus on a different area. I hope this is helpful for you! {This schedule is tentative. I may change it, if need be.}
