1. Counter Tops
Evaluate: are the same items always getting dumped on your counters? If so, do they have a proper home somewhere else? Maybe that isn’t the right spot.
Remember, organizing and tidying should be easy.
Here are simple options to keep your counters clear:
- re-home items that never make it back to where they belong by choosing a closer and easier spot
- add a tray or basket to contain loose items like keys, papers and your wallet
- clear kitchen counters right after dinner
- tidy counters for 5 minutes before bed each night
2. Kitchen
More time at home means more time in the kitchen. Make cooking and cleaning as easy as possible with these simple tips:
- fridge/freezer – toss expired food
- pantry – rotate stock and regroup
- utensils – toss any that are broken
- under sink – create order and manage stock
- cookbooks – only keep those you love and use
- appliances – clean, organize or set aside for donation
3. Challenge: social media app free weekends
I’m trying a new experiment and I invite you to try it too.
Every Friday night, I delete my Instagram and Facebook apps off of my phone. I reload them Monday morning after I’ve finished my morning journal routine.
It’s a gentler approach than quitting the platforms all together. I can even check on my desktop if I need to. But it stops me from checking my phone non-stop and has provided much needed space and relief for my mind.
