Let's Take the FIRST Steps to Declutter Your Kitchen with Ease!

Is your kitchen feeling cluttered and things are HARD to find? This is one of my most dreaded pet peeves!

5 Pro Tips for Decluttering Your Kitchen:

1. The "One Minute Rule": This is a game-changer! As you move through the kitchen, pick up any item you can deal with in under a minute. Toss expired food, recycle junk mail, put away stray utensils, etc. This quick action prevents small messes from snowballing.

2. Zone Defense: Don't tackle the whole kitchen at once. Divide it into zones: countertops, drawers, pantry, cabinets, fridge. Focus on one zone at a time. This makes the process less overwhelming and allows you to make significant progress in manageable chunks.

3. The "Everyday Use" Test: When decluttering, ask yourself, "Do I use this every day/week?" If the answer is no, consider if it's truly necessary. Be honest – do you really need five spatulas or three garlic presses? Keep what you use regularly and donate or store the rest.

4. Maximize Vertical Storage: Shelves, hooks, and magnetic strips are your friends! Use them to free up counter space and keep frequently used items within easy reach. Hang pots and pans, store spices on a magnetic strip, and use shelves for cookbooks or decorative items.

5. Maintain, Don't Just Declutter: Decluttering is great, but it's only the first step. Create a system for keeping things organized. Invest in drawer dividers, clear containers, and labels. Regularly assess your kitchen to prevent clutter from creeping back in. Look for tips and EFFICIENCY HACKS in our next post!
