Me too! And that's a biggy for me because I'm very anti-participate.

Thanks for this video. My husband passed away in August after many months of illness. He was a "collector" and it has been a challenge going through his items. I was good at handling getting rid of clothing but all the other stuff is challenging. I made the mistake of getting too much out at one time and now have thing all over the house. This is a reminder to approach it 1 drawer or 1 shelf at a time. Doing it this way will give me a little successes. At 70 years old I still sometimes feel that I should be able to do what I did at 30.

I'm so excited! I need this! I lost my husband in October and I've been purging & rearranging & been going through every nook & cranny, but in doing so I've made messes! I have a room that is full of "get to it" & "get it wherever it goes". .. My big brother just spent 10 days here from out of town repairing everything he could find to fix and teaching me how to run the lawn tractor, fix leaky faucets, start the pressure washer, get rid of mice, and he put in a new basement floor in wood paneling (carpet free!) Now I paint! Lol This challenge is going to be so helpful!! Thank you and best to all doing it!!

Just when I was thinking “I’ll just do this tomorrow” I finished watching your video and now I’m off to clean my drawer!! I’m so excited for this challenge!!

Ooh, I decluttered my (absolutely atrocious) junk drawer the other day following Diane in Denmark's challenge, feeling so smug now with my organised and clean drawers haha! Jk, thanks for the motivation, I'll follow along with you as well the whole month, there is always more stuff to declutter and organise. You ladies literally changed my life for the better, can't say thank you enough!

Thank you so much for this challenge! You have such of breaking big jobs down to manageable task. I have been in a 5 year depression over losing my sister. She would always help me at home when I got overwhelmed with my house. Thankfully she left me with a lot of life lessons to help me. She always loved my house. I want to make her proud of me by getting organized and clean. And I know it will help me feel better in more ways than one. I know she isn't here but will be cheering me on! Thanks again for everything you do for your Fb and KZread community's!

I loved this bright reminder that we all let stuff accumulate. A few minutes can make such a difference. Thanks!

Love this! I literally have a "Monica Closet" to declutter. My drawers are organized, but my guest room closet is another story. 😅

I’m over here about to Google what a Monica closet is…. Then it hit me… “FREINDS” lol

I’ve been feeling the need to spend a few minutes a day decluttering versus just the typical tidying. Thanks for the joyful motivation! Also glad your junk drawers are unconventional like mine.

I appreciate how calm and collected you are and how bite sized you make this.

I have been following you since you started an your enthusiasm keeps me motivated. I have been the biggest slob but I am getting better. A few minutes a day on a space it's getting better. I'm 74 and still learning an organizing. Thank you.

"An empty drawer. I had no idea. Amazing!" 🤣 Steph, I love the simplicity of your decluttering and also the short and to-the-point videos. Everyone can do these because of that! THANKS! 💖

My junk drawer has somehow turned into 3 junk drawers… so I’m glad to see you had more than one too 😀

Ikr she said junk drawer, I’m thinking which one?

My junk drawer is a junk cupboard that was my grandmothers glory box. My great-grandfather built it himself for her 15th birthday in 1935. It has been on my list to declutter for years so now it is, I am repurposing it to store our sentimental items. It makes me super happy to look at it now.

It amazes me how much you can get cleaned out of the junk drawer in just 5-15 minutes. Thanks for the encouragement to tackle this area!

I am so excited to do this Declutter challenge with you this year. I found you on KZread last year during your challenge and I decluttered over a 1000 items. I have been following you since then. You have made such a difference in my life. I am just a Kentucky girl making progress and wow you have helped me make a difference.

Thanks Steph, sure could use the encouragement. Looking forward to tomorrow's video.🎶🎉😎😎🎷😃🎈

My "junk drawer" was two drawers in my kitchen with kitchen utensils. I've been wanting to clear it out for six months! I'm happy to report that I culled duplicates and now I can find the things I need with just a glance! Thanks so much!

I love the fact that you want to support your viewer’s local eco and small business. Great job on the hot spot!

Spring cleaning + direction. Just what I need.

It’s like you read my mind, my husband and I were talking about needing to clean our junk drawers, yes more than one, just yesterday. Thanks for the motivation. You are the reason I started the fly system to begin with.

Oh my gosh! This is exactly what I need. I moved a little over a year ago and one of my bedrooms is not set up yet; it's the catch-all for everything that doesn't have a home! I'm excited to do this challenge with you!

That’s so awesome of you supporting someone’s hometown from your home. You’re awesome!! And the clutter cleaning is pretty amazing too.

Oh dear Stef, thank you for the spring declutter. My 2 junk drawers are done. And or took maybe 15 minutes. My almost 7 years old is also decluttering with me. She found 7 books to donate. I can 't wait till tomorrow - the next little peace for a clean(er) and organized house! Greetings from the Netherlands

Can’t wait to tackle my “junk” “drawers” today! I’ve recently done some rearranging of furniture because we got different furniture to replace the furniture that wasn’t working for us. So there are 4 drawers that are just making me want to pull my hair out because they are so junky right now. So excited for this series!

Thank you Steph. My motivation at the moment is really awful. When I see a new video from you my heart is jumping. Greets from Germany

My 16 month old decided to start climbing out of his crib today. Bye bye crib, and hurray for an unexpected bedroom deep clean!

Thank you Steph for initiating this challenge. A ray of sunshine with your enthusiasm and encouragement. Amazing how we can how the junk drawers need a regular reset. Thanks again. Yes we can do this and see what surprises away.

I’m finally going to do it! Decluttering has always been a dream and I just didn’t know where to start. Thank you for this challenge.

I love your energy, you’re a wonderful motivator, and I need motivated!

I've started flylady about 1 and a half months ago. And its been ups and downs but the downs are easy to combat with this system. Its okay to miss a day. which is nice. I finally decluttered every room except for one drawer in my bedroom and have begun zonecleaning. Such a breath of fresh air after being a not so secret slob all my life! Your video on the system was my first introduction to flylady, and the rest is history :)

My whole house is looking like a storage closet. Thank you for your gentle reminder that just a little time can make a big difference.

Thanks for this much needed challenge. The timing is perfect! 💜

Yahoo! This is exactly the kind of motivation that I needed to kickstart a spring declutter! 💖

My junk drawer has everything in it! Birthday candles, pens, tools, everything a mom needs at a moment's notice!

I've been binge watching flylady and clean mama videos and love your approach to cleaning. I'd got to the point when it's all be overwhelming but putting a mixture of all these videos into play is really helping me get things in order. That said this months challenge is really what I needed to get me to really sort out the clutter we have all over the place. I managed to sort out 4 kitchen drawers today thanks to you and got rid of a lot of jars and lids that I'd been hoarding for that "I will use them some day soon" scenario. So thank you and can't wait to see what we have next to tackle x

I’m looking forward to doing this every day. I’m definitely in need of a reset. I love all your videos Steph.

Thank you for hosting a Spring Cleaning Challenge. I always like going through small sections at a time. Definitely makes things more manageable.

My night side table drawer has become my junk drawer. I will feel so much better once this is done.

I'm really looking forward to this challenge; I want my home to be easier to manage. Thank you so much for the motivation, and I love your idea to keep the giveaway local!

This is the perfect time for me, mentally, to start a full house clean out. Looking forward to working through it together with everyone. Off to clean out the junk drawer!

It wasn't my junk drawer, but I decluttered a basket of socks. You know, the socks that have no partner or get tossed to match another day...yeah! A whole basket. Threw the unmatched socks out that I have been hanging onto in case I found their mate. Garbage!! Felt gooooood! Goal for April is to keep up with simple decluttering tasks. Thanks Steph!

I’m so grateful for the extra motivation to get decluttered.

Me too 👍🏻

The hard part for me is identifying my “junk drawer” area. I think I have more than one space, and they aren’t in drawers 😂

Your motivation is inspiring. Not only did I clean a junk drawer, I cleaned all my kitchen drawers

I watched your video this morning and immediately went to declutter my junk drawer. It didn’t need much straightening out, but I took everything out, cleaned the organizer out and re-arranged things and put a few pens in my car and tossed a few things out and really just did a quick tidy. Boy, that made a huge difference… I didn’t think it would, but I feel good about it. Thanks for the first day of inspiration!!! Onward!!

I love to go through our whole house once a year as well! It’s easier to do when someone is challenging me to get it done. Excited for the next month! Off to the junk drawer I go!

I love a good decluttering challenge. Also love that you’re giving away gift cards to local places I think that so awesome to support our local businesses, thank you!

Just what I need, 15 /20 min declutter every day.... Super excited to watch all your ideas and videos. Thank you so much ❤️

I agree, the junk drawer clean out is probably the most satisfying. Plus, it's usually a small space so it's a great place to start and get some momentum.

After watching I realized how many areas have become “junk drawers” in my house! Guess I’ve had a little clutter blindness going on. Thanks for reminding me!

I too have multiple junk drawers... usually one in each room...lol!

I'm SO excited. We have a place local to us and it's called: "Hickory Lane Plants." They have added such peace to our home with some new little plant babies! The owner is a sweetheart and she worked tirelessly to start her plant business a few years ago

I’m excited for this. Taking 5-15 mins each day is a great idea. Normally I try to do a room or area at once. Then I get overwhelmed & stop. The kicker is that I still have crap left all over & looks like I haven’t made any progress. Now I have to force myself to work it out. It never ends well. Thanks for doing this.

I am so excited over this declutter and been looking forward to it. You are such a blessing to so many people in this giveaway that you are doing. So I want to thank you on behalf of doing this. I will be doing this declutter right along with y’all and just wanted to say a huge thank you for this blessing. You are so motivating and appreciated!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜

Honestly, I would love a $99 set from the FLYLADY! This would be the perfect gift for your subscribers!

I don’t have a junk drawer, I have a junk room. YIKES!

This challenge has started at a perfect time, as I have a bunch of office supplies I can declutter and gift to a teacher to use at their schools... sometimes when you regroup your "junk drawers", you start to realize how much is too much of your favourite items you collect in various areas over time, ie post-it notes, pens that don't work, etc.

I like your idea to de clutter one area a day. That way decluttering the house isn’t overwhelming. I have spent the month of March decluttering and cleaning my storage area and it is so liberating having so much space to move around in there.

I just want to encourage everyone here that it is worth it. I'm retired and was slowly poking through my spaces, not accomplishing that much. When my brother died unexpectedly in December, I got cracking. After having to clean out my parents' home and then his condo (both full of clutter) I decided I was NOT going to do this to my kids. I have decluttered all winter and it has been so freeing. I still have a few places to get through but I just looked over my two kitchen "junk" drawers and they are still fine. (I ditched old pens & markers and 3 one-gallon ziploc bags worth of owner's manuals!) Just do a little and the momentum will build, I promise!

I cleaned out our junk drawers back in January and they are still clean!!!! Sometimes I open then just to admire them, LOL!!!!

Thanks for your bright and cheery attitude. Also love watching you and your sister....

Company coming in one week!! I get distracted so easily! I love the thought that I'm not alone in this mmessiness!

My junk drawer is clean and organized. I feel so much more at peace! 😂 It’s amazing how such a small space can make such a big difference.

I just love your upbeat and encouraging attitude - you make decluttering fun!

I have to laugh... I am tempted to ask what to do if ALL of my drawers are junk drawers! Sometimes it sure feels that way! Good for you for tackling a whole house declutter - must be a lot of work after moving so recently. Also, I really like that you ask the giveaway winners to support a local business. That is very thoughtful, and I am sure those local businesses will be glad for the business.

You never fail to motivate me! And I LOVE that your giveaway will support local businesses ❤️

You're my favorite "get organized, have a plan" guru. Thank you!

This will be a great challenge. I have been decluttering my sewing room. Every day if nothing else I throw something away, put something in the donate box and recycle something. Some days my room looks worse instead of better but I am making slow progress. I have donated a whole bunch of books to our library. They actually get excited when they see me haha. This will be fun working along side you

I moved 6 months ago and my junk drawer was totally cleaned out when I unpacked. Amazing how much had come into it in just 6 months. Got rid of some stuff and moved a few things to my craft room where I would be more likely to look for it. I’m excited about this challenge!!

Love the decluttering change. I have always been taught that there is no such thing as a junk drawer but I always end up with one and it definitely needs decluttering😀😀😀

I know this works by starting out with the junk drawer. I cleaned and organized my two junk drawers about 6 months ago and they are still clean and I know where everything is. Now if I can just accomplish this with the rest of my house, I will be all set. Bring on the challenge!

This is such a GREAT idea. I'll probably have to watch these at least 2x. Looking forward to seeing more of the new house!!!

I excited that junk draw is first. Being 80 and getting booster vaccine today, yeah doable challenge.❤️

I love cleaning junk drawers. It is quick and so satisfying.💜

That is very generous of you. Especially thoughtful by keeping it local! 😊

Junk drawer, here I come! I appreciate this challenge.

Alright… starting now. Here I go! Excited. Edit: DONE! My junk drawer has been the bane of my existence. I konmari'd my house in 2015 and have managed to keep it up -- all except the junk drawer. It's been located in a corner cupboard with a carousel shelves. It's permanently jammed with crap so that the shelves can't turn. I decluttered by half, moved my remaining items to a smaller pull-out drawer, moved items that will be functional into that corner space (kitchen appliances)... which has created a domino effect in the other kitchen drawers of re-arranging and emptying. All my kitchen drawers are way more functional. Woohoo!!

I keep my ‘junk’ drawer under control for the most part because I declutter it as part of my monthly zone cleaning. I love the idea of a deep weekend declutter and will be printing out your cheat sheet to follow along. Love your videos and always look forward to them.

Day 1 of the Spring Declutter Challenge brought me some successes!! I managed 1 huge drawer and 3 cubbies... so wonderfully refreshing to see them so nice and neat and cleaned out! Thank you Steph ... for the inspiration!

You’re videos always give me the motivation I need to get off the couch and get to decluttering. Let’s do this! I have multiple junk drawers ☺️

This is great motivation, rewarding myself with money doesn't work! My junk draw is out of control. Thank You!!

Baby nail clippers are so worth keeping! I’ve had my kid’s for over 30 years. I use them to trim my kitties claws 😄

I was mission a special key chain for over two years. I've had it for over 30 years. Last night I was cleaning the inside of the car and found it in between the seats! YAY!

I love the small challenges. It motivates me to just get started!! Once I get started it’s so much easier to keep on going.

My junk drawer is usually pretty organized, but the counter above it is a definite Hotspot. It feels so good to get it cleaned up!

Thanks for all you do! Your videos always get me motivated.

Yay for more videos! 🥳 I was just saying the other day I wish Steph had more videos! 🎉I need more than spring cleaning, but I'm gonna follow along because my main problem is always just "where do I start!" because there are just SO MANY things that need to be done. I'm gonna do whatever you're doing, to eliminate that ADHD wall that usually keeps me from even starting. Thank you for doing this!

I am ready for the Spring Declutter Challenge! Thank you Steph for leading this challenge. I am focusing on my desk and office area - it really needs decluttering and tidying. I picked one desk drawer today to empty and clean out, then re-stock with necessary items only. Onward and forward I go!

I absolutely LOVE your rainbow stripe shirt!!! 🌈❤️🤩❤️🌈

I just love your channel. I found it about three weeks ago and am loving implementing your ideas and doing in small increments just is so doable. I have always been an “all or nothing” person. This is so freeing! Thank you so much! I look forward to seeing more!🌸

Task #1. Junk drawer! How perfect!

I'm transitioning into a new job and new routine. It feels great knowing it is okay to take baby steps.

Thanks to this challenge I found a specific charger that I’ve been searching for for ages! I was so sure I’d lost it for good! Thank you!

I like the idea of just doing a small area a day. I'm fairly minimal but it never hurts to look around. I donated all of my random pens and went and bought me a pack of my favorite pens and pencils. I'm actually keeping up with them now that I have a limited number. Time to check my junk drawer

Excited for this challenge! Today while decluttering a hot spot, I found my daughter’s pinwheel phone! Woohoo!

Love that you are giving us daily challenges! Thanks as it will help me get back into routinely decluttering my home!

Favorite part: "an empty drawer, I had no idea!" 😀 sounds familiar...

Always excited when a new secret slob video pops up! Perfect timing on this challenge, moving this summer and need to get motivated to declutter all the extra junk around here!

I'm dreading this and excited at the same time. junk drawer here I come...🤷‍♀️

Thanks for the extra motivation to tackle the junk drawer! I kept putting it off, dreading the time it would take. 10 minutes, that was it!
