Today's Journal
Today I signed up to take the 30-Day Organizing Bootcamp with Clutterbug. I will have access to the course for 1 full year. It was $30.00 US + GST.
"It's important that you do only ONE space a day before
moving on to the next space.
It's easy to get distracted and start organizing and decluttering
different areas, but I caution you to finish one project before
moving on to the next.
Organizing can be messy. At the end of each day, make sure
you take the donations out, put things that don't belong away,
and take time to tidy up the area you were working in.
Resist the urge to move onto another space before tidying
up the one you are currently working in."
Day 1. Food Storage Containers
Good-bye random lids...
It's time to say goodbye to food storage containers that don't have lids and those extra lids that don't have bottoms. Fewer containers will equal a more organized space. Today is the day that you stop struggling with cluttered containers, and finally, create a space that makes packing lunches and leftovers fast and easy. Don't let go of those random bottoms just yet! We may be able to use them as drawer organizers in the future, so for now, just purge the lids and put the extra bottoms to the side.
Even though my food storage containers were not really a mess, and MOST of them were in the cupboard above the stove, there were a few items in the same cupboard that were NOT food storage containers... stainless steel mixing bowls and plastic drinking glasses. I removed those and put them in another cabinet. I also had some food storage containers in the kitchen utility storage cart/island and some food prep containers were down in the pantry cupboard in the basement. I moved ALL of them into the cupboard above the stove. Any containers I don't use or ones with lids missing, I put in the donation bag.
This took WAY longer than 30 minutes, but I'm slow and super fussy. I'm pleased with the progress I made on day 1.
