There is nothing like the start of a new year to get your home (and life!) in good shape – and Apartment Therapy wants to make it as painless as possible. If you are ready to make 2017 your best year yet, I have a plan.

Sign up for the free group project we call the January Cure and I’ll send you do-able, one-manageable-step-at-a-time assignments throughout the rest of the month, designed to help you create a cleaner, more organized and peaceful home. You’ll have my support – and the support of the thousands of other readers who are working through the assignments along with you. By the end of the month, we’ll all have a cleaner, fresher, more organized home, guaranteed!

Here’s what some of the previous years January Cure participants had to say about their experience:

Wow — what a difference this month has made! – SteggyMom


The greatest thing is how energetic and inspired I feel. – Anne Helene

This Cure has been a nice kick in the pants for me. My house is a long way from perfect (thank you, person who glued wallpaper with no primer on the wall, then stapled it a zillion times for good measure, then nailed wood trim all over the edges so that removing it is practically a demolition project!), but it’s much more manageable now. It was a great push to finally purge a lot of extras, get those hard to reach places that I tend to neglect for a little too long, and then to make sure to keep it up all week even if I just spend a few minutes here and there. I no longer feel overwhelmed, so thank you! – KatinaM

I’m so proud of myself for sticking with it for a whole month! This past week I’ve really started to notice that even if I didn’t do much cleaning the day before, I still wake up to a relatively clean apartment. That’s magical!

I never used to make time for cleaning or decluttering and then when it came time to relax in my apartment, I hated it and would have to clean for an hour or two before being able to enjoy my free time. So I can safely say that this project did so much more than just declutter my apartment, it fully increased my level of happiness day-to-day. – Dayna @ The Kitchen Library

Ahhh finally, a Cure I actually completed! Our studio apartment looks so much better than it used to, so thank you AT and AT Community for the butt-kicking. It’s awesome that everyone came together to support each other and do some cheerleading! – honeyhuckabee

I still have a couple items left on my to do list, but I have accomplished so much this month and am excited to have a couple things to catch up on and work on over the next few months. – bexamazing

We’re just getting started and I designed our assignments to ease everyone in so you can get caught up in no time at all.
