30 De-clutter Challenge

Choose one item to purge or re-organize daily for the next 30 days (month)

Be generous all month!

2 Corinthians 9:6-8

"Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver!"

1. Envision your ideal space - write your goal to aim for.
2. Pick one area and set the timer to work on it for 10 minutes. Remember progress is progress!
