Fly Lady Challenge: Start Small and See Big Results!

Fly Lady Challenge: Start Small and See Big Results!

The Fly Lady method has long been a lifesaver for those overwhelmed by chaos, unsure of how to begin their journey toward a more organized life. But what if the usual routines feel monotonous, or you're seeking an extra boost of motivation? This is where challenges come to the rescue—short tasks that bring an element of fun and make diving into the method stress-free.

What Are Fly Lady Challenges?

A challenge is not just a task; it’s a commitment you make to yourself to test your limits and elevate your level of organization and comfort. It’s a step toward achieving your personal goals, whether that's creating a cozy home, decluttering your space, or carving out time for yourself.

The golden rule of a challenge is consistency. These are tasks you complete daily to make noticeable progress and establish productive habits. Even small, repeated steps can lead to significant transformations over time.

The ideal duration for a challenge is 7 to 30 days. This gives you enough time to experience real changes and enjoy the results. And if you find a challenge that resonates with you, feel free to keep it going all year, turning it into a new, empowering habit.

Challenges You Can Start Today

Fly Lady challenges can range from decluttering your home to focusing on self-care. We’ve prepared a few ideas to inspire you. Pick one and get started right away!

Choose challenges that suit your needs or create your own based on what you’d like to improve. It’s important not to take on too much at once. Start with a single challenge that feels the most manageable or relevant to your current situation. And if things don’t go as planned right away, that’s okay. Every small step forward is progress. Be kind to yourself and take it at your own pace as you incorporate these changes into your daily routine.

Remember, the key is to take that first step. The sooner you begin, the sooner your home will feel cozier, and your life more harmonious.

Recommended duration: 7 days.


1. Challenge: “Shiny Sink”

Start small and bring some sparkle to your kitchen:

  1. Clear your sink of all dishes.
  2. Wash it thoroughly with a cleaning product.
  3. Dry it until it gleams.

Tip: A shiny sink is more than just a clean kitchen—it’s a symbol of order and a source of motivation for other tasks.


2. Challenge: “Declutter 27 Things”

This challenge makes decluttering quick and simple:

  1. Grab a bag or box.
  2. Go around your home and find 27 items you no longer need.
