Check It Off Challenge

I wanted to share the concept of a "Check it off challenge" which comes from my favorite organizing website Simplify 101. I couldn't find the original blog post, but I did find this Facebook post which describes the idea: "Do you feel overwhelmed by your to-do list? If so, join Simplify 101's Check-It-Off Challenge. All that’s involved is creating a list of 30 tasks that have been hanging out on your to-do list for a little too long and committing to getting them done in the next 30 days." I also found this Pinterest post that has a picture of Aby's list.

When Aby first posted about this in 2019, I jumped at the idea - and I still have my list which ran from February 1-28, 2019. What I love about this concept is making the list is very liberating because all the "to do's" are in one place. Then, you can decide if you even want to do the item and if you don't, no big deal - you can easily eliminate it without guilt. There is also less "mind clutter" because everything is on paper to remind you.

Also, in the spirit of "things don't have to be perfect," notice that I've posted this idea not on the 1st of the month!
