Ready, set…

Tomorrow is the big day! The day I (re)start my New Year’s Resolution to declutter the home room by room. I’ve managed to get my motivation up from what it was in my last post; so much so that I actually did a little tidying up yesterday. The time was mainly spent loading the dishwasher. What really surprised was that when I’d finished my 5 minutes, the counters were cleared off and clean!
What I’ve learned in the past 2 months is that the kitchen needs attention every day. I’m going to have to change my plan just a bit. Since such things as cleaning up and putting dishes away require additional time, I’ll spend 5 minutes with standard kitchen maintenance (unless it actually takes less time) and 5 minutes decluttering.
The good news is that the kitchen table has remained relatively clutter free since I first cleared it off in early January, before I broke my foot. What I like about having the table cleared off is that I can sit down at it, plan meals, make grocery lists and the like. It functions very nicely as a kitchen “desk.” And also as a breakfast nook.
