Streamline your kitchen with these inventory and decluttering steps.
Step 1- Look through all of your kitchen drawers, cabinets, and pantry. Mentally take inventory of what you have. As you go through your kitchen drawers, cabinets, and pantry; ask yourself the following questions.
· Do I have duplicates of the same items?
· How many duplicates do I have of one item? Example: Spatulas or ice cream scoopers.
· Do I have more than one?
· Do I need more than one?
· Why do I need more than one?
· Is one better than the other?
· Which one was the last one I used?
· Which one do I use the most?
· Could I live with only one of them?
· Do I have mismatched serving dishes, utensils, cereal bowls, and glasses?
· Would I prefer to have new items that match or that aren’t outdated?
· Do I use all of your coffee mugs?
· Do I use all of your knives or potholders?
· Do I use all of your dish rags?
· When was the last time I used the item?
· Why do I have the item?
· Was it a gift I only used once?
· How long have you owned the item?
· Does it need to be replaced or repaired?
· Is the item in its correct place?
· Is the item easy to get to when I need it?
· Should the item be relocated so I will use it more often?
· Does the item belong in another room? Example: screwdriver, car wax, nail clippers, mail, etc.
· Am I a collector of certain kitchen items?
· Could I display or use it to decorate the kitchen, breakfast room, or dining room?
During this process, you will probably come up with a few additional questions to ask yourself.
Step 2- Walk around your kitchen and think if you have everything in its most efficient place. How might you rearrange things so they become more efficient for your use?
if you are considering drawer containers or liners, measure all of the drawers so you can purchase the correct size.
Please fight the urge to begin rearranging things. During this process, there’s so much to think about. Take your time and sleep on it. You can begin organizing, rearranging, and doing your winter “organizing workout” tomorrow.
