Our Do It Scared® Confidence Challenge is designed to help you own your greatness and be more confident in just five days. And know when I say that, and when I talk about creating a life you love, that I don’t mean creating a perfect life, a life where nothing ever goes wrong, or a life where you won’t still sometimes experience pain or adversity or struggles or challenges. It’s called the Do It Scared® Confidence Challenge, and it is designed to help you take a few small but powerful steps in the right direction

While my husband Chuck , as the stay-at-home dad, does an amazing job handling all the day-to-day chores—laundry, groceries, shuttling the kids to school and all their activities, keeping up on the yard work, paying the bills, etc.— But with Barbara’s help, we had both rooms done by the end of Day One, and we also had collected a VERY impressive pile of stuff to donate or throw away. Day 3 was devoted to the kitchen and, because I needed to work most of the day (which thankfully I was able to do from home), Barbara handled this space mostly on her own. And so, through all of this, my biggest piece of advice is to stop wasting time beating yourself up for the things you haven’t been able to get to while you’re busy focusing on the things that matter most.

Oh sure, the smell of clean clothes coming out of the dryer is nice, and there’s something satisfying about seeing those piles of neatly folded towels all put away, but how many of us really relish the thought of tackling yet another endless load of dirty clothes? Not only do they help the items stay safe and protected during the wash cycle (follow the gentle cycle or consider hand-washing if that’s what the manufacturer recommends), but they help prevent delicates from sneaking in the wrong cycle in a pant leg or shirtsleeve. Keep Your Laundry Room and Supplies Organized Having a laundry area that’s organized and inviting makes a huge difference when you’re tackling your laundry pile (even if it’s just a closet that holds your sorters and detergent until you can haul them to the laundromat later). It’ll save you loads of time in the morning when you’re facing the ever-present question of “what to wear” and save time when putting away the clean clothes as well.
