A Bag a Day Challenge Fall 2024

Clutter steals calm and makes it hard to enjoy a warm, welcoming home. For many of us, myself included, clutter can feel overwhelming and stressful. I don’t mean the everyday items you rely on, but the extra accumulation that triggers anxiety and frustration.

Years ago I discovered the Bag A Day method and loved it because it’s simple, achievable, and effective.

Often the reason clutter persists is overthinking or putting off decisions. The Bag A Day approach removes that barrier by giving you a small, clear daily action.

If you’re ready to make progress toward a decluttered home this fall, join our Bag A Day September challenge in the HomeBody Gathering Place community.

No elaborate prep is needed—just fill one bag of clutter each day and take it out. That’s it.

You can do this on your own, but many people find steady encouragement and practical tips make the process easier and more motivating. With the Bag A Day method, small daily wins add up quickly.

After 30 days, you’ll have removed 30 bags of clutter from your home.

The Bag A Day habit can become positively addictive: once you start noticing what to let go of, you’ll want to keep going. Participating in a community challenge can change how you feel about your space and keep you accountable.

You can easily adapt this method to fit your lifestyle:

  • Spend a short time each day hunting for clutter in one area of the home and bag what you no longer need.
  • Place a bag or box near the door or in a corner and toss items into it throughout the day.
  • If daily isn’t practical, aim to fill a few bags each weekend instead.

Whatever schedule you choose, doing it with others creates momentum and makes the process more enjoyable.

If you’re not already part of the community, consider joining before September to be ready when the challenge starts. Annual membership often provides the best value and extra resources, but choose the option that works for you.

Inside the community you’ll find inspiration for seasonal nesting, hospitality prep, and storytelling through home decor. This fall we’re focusing on creating a home that reflects the life you want to share with guests and family.

Think of the community as a practical, encouraging space for home therapy.

Together we decorate, putter, and declutter throughout the year.

Each week and season brings fresh lessons, mindset shifts, and small wins. I’m available to answer questions and offer guidance so you don’t have to navigate the process alone.

Participants in the Bag A Day challenge this September will also be entered into a giveaway to win one of our exclusive HomeBody Boxes. It’s a fun, productive way to refresh your space.

Ready to begin? Our fall nesting session starts September 2 and the Bag A Day Challenge kicks off September 5. Whether you do one bag a day or adapt the pace, the important thing is consistency and forward progress.
