~Today’s chore is upper cabinets. You know, the ones that hang over your head while you cook, clean, or reheat and throw away, whatever your MO is. :- )
NOW, if your cookbooks live in one of these uppers, you are in luck cause we already did that. If you have no upper cabinets then you are again in luck. Go make yourself a straw-nana-go smoothies and sit by the pool. (The high today according to smart people is supposed to be 98 degrees here 5 miles from hell.)
~ I am going to start from the tippy top. Unload ONLY the top shelf onto your sorting space.
~Take your cleaning product and rag and clean the top, sides and surface of your self, er shelf unless you haven’t had a shower yet today. Then go ahead and clean yourself!
~Let’s take a look at the things on our sorting surface. Ask yourself our decluttering questions: Have you used this in 6 months? Have you ever used this? Did you borrow this and need to return it? Is it broken? Is it missing a part? Are you REALLY ever going to replace it or fix it? NOTE: Don’t donate things that need repair. It costs more money for those places then just recycling it or donating it!
~Now that we have at least organized our items from the top shelf we can start putting things back. BUT WAIT…before you put things back let’s think for a minute. Do you like where it is? Would you prefer to have it on a lower shelf? (If that is the case, take out a sticky note or masking tape and mark it to move later)
~You can now reload your top shelves. That’s it for today. Don’t worry we will get through it all. But I work a full time job and I need something that is fast and easy.
IF YOU HAPPEN to be an over achiever then go ahead and do all your upper cabinet shelves. Then you can take a couple of days off.
