| The only counterspace. |
Determing my "zones":
Counter space is for preparing and cooking food....
So don't clutter it! In our apartment there is no space to waste.
For instance consider what you actually use everyday.
We don't make coffee every morning, We also unplug the microwave after using it; they have been proven to absorb energy while sitting idle.
Most foods can be refridgerated and if nothing else its a better way to keep the kitchen table and counters cleared.
We all love a little candy dish on the coffee table but theres no need for a 9x13 sheet with brownines taking up room; especially if you don't want the temptation to eat them all!!!
All the medicines can be moved into a more consealed place but keeping them in the kitchen helps me remember to take them with breakfast.
Sink Tip:
We get to hand wash all our dishes...whoppee (sarcastically)
Try using a shelf with slots or one of those wire racks to keep smaller things like utensils or bottle accesories from falling beneath the plates.
It also saves time that you don't have to organize the dishes before you wash them.
Have you looked into Fly Lady? It has been my saviour in the past, and I plan to get back on track with it once I get the house in order. It does a lot with "zones" and "hot spots." :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen a few of her videos and/or tips I have also been trying out the AlejandraTV 7 day organizer! The daily emails keep me on track!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out the Alejandratv. Another thing I started using, and love, is motivated moms. It's a PDF that has a list of daily things to do along with chores split up throughout the week. It has seasonal jobs that are randomly dispersed in there also. I like it because you it's very spelled out and you get a lot done over a decent amount of time, so it isn't overwhelming. If you want, I'll fb you the PDF.
