January 2025 tiny projects challenge!

8 January 2025

Back in 2020, during the lockdown, I did a series of personal tiny projects challenges to create order in my home and keep me sane. I repeated it a few times over the next couple of years. (Check out the tiny projects tag to look back on those posts.) We’ve been in our apartment for six months now and there are a few little spaces that either never were fully organized or have become disorderly in that time. I thought I’d try to address five of them in the coming five days.

My goal is that each project will take no more than 15 minutes to accomplish. (We’ll see.)

I jotted down a few ideas so I’ll have plenty to choose from each day. They include:

• The two drawers of our primary bathroom vanity
• Our dishtowel/rag drawer in the kitchen
• The two kitchen pullout shelves that serve as our main pantry space
• The bank of elfa drawers that serve as kitchen overflow and junk drawers
• The elfa drawer bank under my desk where I store pens, washi tape and other important things. I access them daily.
• The bulk spices drawer in the kitchen
• Charging cables (a constant challenge)
• My fountain pen collection (which I started in the 1980s and haven’t touched in probably 20 years)

Keep an eye on the blog in the coming days to see the results of my challenge!

I encourage you to join me in decluttering and organizing a small space for a few days. If you’re in, let me know in the comments.
