Keeping those Resolutions Achievable.
We are into the second month of the year…Are you still working on that resolution to get organized?
*Keep it small.
*Keep it achievable.
*Keep plugging away at one thing at a time.
Even if you didn’t finish all the things you wanted to get done by now, keep going. Just like a diet, one day of falling off the wagon doesn’t mean you should give up.
I have another kitchen organizing example that you could accomplish in less than the time it takes to cook those chicken parts.
This week how about Organizing Your Plasticware.
You know what I am talking about. All those plastic containers with lids that are in many cabinets of your kitchen. You can’t find the lids that match, some are cracked and some are just plain OLD.
Collect all the containers and all the lids to the kitchen counter or table…spread them out so you can see them…yes, all of them.
Sort similar bottoms together and begin to match up the tops.
Toss the bottoms that should have, but you can’t locate, tops. (If there is no recycling arrow on the bottom, they go into the trash.
Stack and nest as many bottoms as you can. Keep the corresponding lids nearby
Chose ONE cabinet or drawer to house the keepers.
If you still have too many containers, donate or toss them.
Put away an organized, neat grouping of containers.
If you have kids and they have outgrown some of the plastic items like sippy cups, items with Disney characters, etc., now is the time to get rid of these too.
Ahhh…another bit of clutter under control.
