Here’s the secret sauce of the Habit + Home Challenge: systems over willpower.
Clean homes aren’t about doing more. They’re about doing a few things consistently.
You can follow along with this year’s challenges in my new book “Habit + Home” which is available on Amazon.

Throughout the year, we’ll practice habits that actually work in real life:
- Evening resets that take minutes, not hours
- Mail and paper sweeps that stop pile-ups
- Sunday set-ups that make weekdays easier
- One-minute rules that prevent clutter from spreading
Tracking Without Pressure
Use a planner, a journal, or a simple checklist. Track what you want. Skip what you don’t.
The goal isn’t streaks — it’s awareness and progress.
Designed for Real Life
This challenge works because it’s flexible. Busy weeks happen. Energy ebbs and flows. You can pause, adjust, or repeat projects as needed.

You’re not behind. You’re building something sustainable.
Looking Ahead
Each month builds gently on the last — creating a home that feels calmer, lighter, and easier to maintain.
One habit. One zone. One step at a time.
Let’s make 2026 the year your home finally works with you. xoxo, Dana
