declutter

the heart of

your

home, the

kitchen

, let me give you six

steps

to walk through

your

kitchen

. Let me mention up front that this probably took me longer than twenty or thirty minutes when I first minimized my cooking. Set aside a full Saturday, so you may want to set aside a specific time, an intentional time to do this, but you'll love the results afterwards. Six

steps

number one, relocate everything that doesn't belong in your kitchen. Kitchens are famous for being a quick leave the place and scan the kitchen.

What are some things that don't even belong in the room? Things like backpacks or junk mail or purses or tools. Things we just picked up there that need to go somewhere else. These are usually things that tend to be very visible and when you get it out of the space at first you'll be able to start seeing progress right away, so let's start by relocating anything that doesn't belong. number two let's start organizing the items in the kitchen, look at duplicate items as a great place to start with this process how many spatulas do you really need?

How many cups of coffee do you need? How many plastic cups did you get from sports stadiums? How many knives do you need? How many pots and pans? How many pieces of Tupperware that don't match? Chances are, if your kitchen needs tidying, you have tons and tons of duplicate items that never get used. Identify your favorites. Put them away and get everything else out of that space. Number Three. Observe the physical limits in your kitchen. I realize that in some circumstances they are small. apartments small houses maybe the kitchen is really too small, but most people today have enough space in the kitchen to feed their family enough and yet many of us still complain that there is not enough storage, there's not enough drawer space, there's not enough cabinet space, maybe there's enough room, we're just putting too many things inside those spaces, so stop fighting or complaining about physical boundaries and observe them and embrace them, think to yourself, okay, I can store as many pots and pans as will fit.

In this area I can keep as many dishes as will fit in this cabinet, as many utensils as will fit in this drawer, notify them what they are, embrace them and use the guidelines to help you make decisions in the future. Number four, identify appropriate locations for items. This will help you keep your kitchen tidy in the future. It is a very important step when organizing any area of ​​your home. Where are the pots and pans going to be? Where are the appliances going to be, even down to the junk drawer? I'm going to stay here what's going to live inside here what plastic organizers do I need to make this a functional space and in the future identify a suitable home for everything number five, clean your countertops now I'll support all the ideas I suggest this is the topic that people tend to argue with me the most, but I love having a clear kitchen counter, when we have too many things in our kitchen, in our cabinets and in our drawers, it seems impossible that we will ever find them. somewhere to put your toaster, blender, coffee maker, or container set, but I can almost guarantee that if you do the hard work of getting rid of the things you don't need, you'll find spaces for those items that aren't visible. on the counter and when you do, your counters will feel attractive, open, with fewer distractions and free of clutter, so find spaces to store those things off the counters.

Number six, at this point start reviewing the foods in your kitchen that you need. It's not necessary if you have a pantry go through the closet if you keep your stuff in one of the cabinets take some time and go through that get rid of expired food food that you're not going to eat anymore clean that space but I often recommend doing that last because It's usually a hidden area, getting rid of the most obvious things first keeps us active and motivated. You will love having a tidy kitchen. I love being in my house. You'll love it. on yours too and hey, if you're enjoying these videos, make sure to subscribe and share them with your friends.
