One of the requested challenges was a repeat of the February 2025 "Out with the Old" challenge, which ran over three weeks. Given it is already part way into June, I figure starting that one now, and then seeing what we might do for July--and if you have a Plan! or a small idea, please put your hand up to run a challenge, or suggest a challenge, or ask for someone to help you run one. I'm mostly copying peaceful_sand's week 1 post verbatim....

The focus this week is on the bedroom. What can you find to organise and potentially move out of the room? You can take two views of moving something out - it could be that it's still needed but better stored somewhere else or that you are decluttering in full and it will be leaving your home. If you don't need or find anything to declutter, think of this as a chance to re-organise and revitalise your environment. Don't be afraid to rearrange the furniture, or swap out how you are organising the clothes in your closet, or the things you have on display. At the moment you have a week for this to be your focus, but remember that at any time you can veer away from the comm focus and do what works for you or what you have to focus on. If things are going well but you need longer to finish a goal, don't be afraid to stick with it rather than move onto the next one. Lots of the themes throughout the year will overlap with earlier ones in some way so there's always the chance to revisit something later, or there might be one that you really don't need at all and so you can catch up on one's you've missed then.

If you need to focus on something else this weekend, tell us about your goals and how you get along.

(fred_mouse again: if decluttering is a thing you want to focus on long term, unclutter is a great community focused on slowly getting the clutter out of our homes).

Thanks everyone on your comments on the last checkin; fabulous to see so many people making small progress. I do not have the oomph to reply individually, but I wish I did.

Instead! It has been a little over a week since the last checkin, and time for another one. What is one small win you have had in the last week in making your house a home?
