It’s time to get your spring clean buttoned up!

Spring has officially sprung and you know what that means: time to get your clean on. But since most people we know barely have enough time to get through their regular routines, they think it’s impossible to spring clean too.

Not so fast!

We’ve put together an amazing 30-day challenge for you that will have your home sparkling by the end. All you have to do is one, small (and every once in awhile a medium) task every day. Before you know it, your big spring-clean will be complete.

Please Note This Important Change from Previous Challenges

We’re souping up our technical back-end when it comes to the implementation of these monthly challenges. To date, I’ve been wrangling everything via Excel spreadsheets, updating the check-in data each day by hand, and I have to admit that it’s making me a little cranky. Plus I’m scared I’m going to miss something in my overstuffed inbox.

So, rather than entering the challenges by commenting on the post here, we’re going to have you sign up via an official form. Then each day we will send everybody who has signed up on that list an email with the daily challenge.

Embedded in that email will be a way for you to check in with one click – via email to Sarah, a post to our Facebook wall, or a tweet. All of this will automate what I was doing by hand (see, I’m delegating!) and free up my time to focus on creating more content and goodies that truly add value to everyone here.

SO…

Please get the complete details of the challenge (including the PDF) and sign up for the April Challenge here.

XOXOXO

Great job delegating and automating, Sarah. I wondered a few times how you were doing this all. I’ll be signing up again as I only made it a few days in March since my girlfriend and I started a little business together (yah! One more -fun- thing on my plate!) lol. I’m hoping to be back in the saddle for April. I’m getting withdrawals being away from my Buttoned Up crew for so long. : (

Love this idea! I stumbled across this challenge while googling around for a spring-cleaning checklist. Even though I’m way too late, can I still get the 30-day task list? I’ll start in June :) Thanks!

I’m a little late to the party on these challenges, but I was going through printing them off anyway so that I could see what was done previously and possibly do them all and catch up. I get to this April challenge and click the link to print the calendar and I’m denied. It says that the challenge is closed, which I completely understand, but I still would love to be able to print the calendar or possibly have a copy emailed to me. I hope that the rest of the months aren’t also “closed” so that I can’t print them. I love the ideas of the challenges and want to do them even if I’m not entering the challenge. Thanks! -M
