Clear It Out Challenge – Free Printables

Is it time to do a quick reduction of the number of things in your home? If so, the Clear It Out Challenge will be great for you! This is not a deep clean. The goal is to easily eliminate as many things as possible in a short amount of time.

The Clear It Out Challenge will encourage you to jump in and make a noticeable difference in your home. This is not a drag everything out and ask if it sparks joy for days on end type of challenge. This is a focused and quick attack to make a real difference.

Clear It Out Challenge

You are looking for the no-brainer type objects to remove from your home that you never get around to dealing with. In the challenge, I provide lots of examples to get you thinking as well as a recording sheet where you can take a guess how many things you can remove in each room and then a place to put your final tally.

(I believe if you are going to do something like this you might as well make a game out of it. If you really want to have fun, have your children make the guess and count with you!)

Download Your Printable

If you are ready to get a start on clearing out some of the excess in your home, you can download the challenge right here. Click on the page below and a PDF will launch. Save the PDF to your computer and then print as needed.

Before you download the printable, please understand my Digital Products Terms of Use.

Although this is free, please do not share the files. If you know someone who would like a copy, please share the link to this post instead. Thank you!

    I just finished reading a book (Learning to Dream Again, by Samuel Wells) where the author said that every object in our homes should be there to facilitate human relationships, in one way or another. I’m still chewing on this idea, and figuring out how and where to apply it in my home.

    The book, by the way, is very good, but it’s definitely written for college-educated readers.

      Hmmm…. I’d have to think about that. I’m not sure I want to choose my clothing based on whether or not it facilitates human relationships. Or my reading. Or my sticky notes. Or my (insert other things here).

      I guess it raises the question if life is ONLY about human relationships. That’s how that sounds to me (with the caveat I haven’t read the book). What about the vertical where we make choices that are between us and God? Do those choices ALWAYS have to come back to how they impact other humans?

      (I’m totally thinking out loud here.)

    Sallie, I loved this suggestion, and was able to clear out a bunch of stuff fairly quickly. I tend to focus on things of worth that I need to sort and deal with, and forget that somethings need to go straight to the trash (or recycling, if appropriate). Thanks for the inspiration!

      Hi Suzanne,

      Thank you so much for letting me know this was helpful! I’m good at the quick stuff, but I get so bogged down by the “things of worth” as you called them. It’s something I’m constantly working on. I’m slowly getting better. Partially because I’m learning to let go and partially because the more I do it, the easier it gets.
