Saving Time With Your Chores

I may save valuable time in the future while doing my daily household chores once my home is uncluttered and organized.  

Declutter Tip

I should have more time to take good care of myself and concentrate on a healthy environment and lifestyle when my house is organized and uncluttered.  

Tips for Organizing Your Kitchen

I do a visual inventory of the food in my refrigerator before I go grocery shopping, so I am less likely to buy unnecessary duplicate items.

I keep kitchen items that I use on a daily basis in safe areas that are very easy for me to reach.

I categorize "like" items together when I clean my pantry.

I routinely check for any food items in my refrigerator with expired dates and I properly discard them.

I keep the fruit and vegetable bins in my refrigerator clean and organized.

While organizing my kitchen cabinets, I safely place similar items together on the shelves: dishes, pots/pans, storage containers. 

If I need to buy a lot of groceries, I try to clean out my refrigerator before I go to the store with my shopping list.

I keep my freezer organized and I also keep a current list of the meats and frozen food in the freezer, along with the dates.

When I clean my pantry closet, I discard any items with expired dates. I organize products according to specific categories.

I keep my silverware drawer in the kitchen or dining room organized and clean. 

When organizing cabinets, I try to place the most frequently used items where I can easily and safely access them quickly.

A clutter situation can interfere with the function of a room such as a kitchen table cluttered with bills, school work and coupons. There is no room to eat a meal.

Quick Organizing Tip For Today: Don’t Use Excuses

 

I do not want to use common excuses for not organizing my home such as: not enough time, or I don't want to get rid of any items that I spent good money for initially.

Tips For Quick Organizing Projects

If you have 15 minutes to spare, you may organize the following:

1. Kitchen shelf

2. Desk drawer

3. Purse

4. Bathroom cabinet

5. Bookshelf

Declutter:

1. Keep flat surfaces free of clutter in your home. 

2. Do the dishes.

3. Make the bed in the morning.

4. Keep the kitchen sink clean.

If I am short on time, I do not think of the concept "all or nothing" in regards to my plan for decluttering my home. I can spend at least 15 minutes straightening up a small area in my house.

If you have 20 minutes to spare, maybe you can just organize one desk drawer, one kitchen shelf, or even your handbag.

I like to use a purse organizer inside of my handbag to organize my items such as keys, daily planning book, sunglasses and pens.

If I have 15 minutes, I may have time to organize my wallet. 

If I have 15 minutes during the day, I may wipe the bathroom and kitchen counters clean.
