Thursday Tips

I'm using the term cookware here a little loosely, because we ARE doing pots and pans today - but we are also doing a lot of the little random odds and ends things.

+small appliances

+gadgets

+mixing bowls

+silverware

+cooking utensils

+strainers

Basically all the things that are in a drawer or cupboard but aren't dishware or food! Don't worry about countertops, yet.

When you pull something out, ask yourself questions like:

1) how many duplicates do I have of this specific item, or even items that do the same thing?

2) when is the last time I used this?

3) when is the next time i'll use this? (BE HONEST)

4) In 90 days, will I be upset that I don't have this?

When looking at your pots and pans, any nonstick cookware that has cracks or cuts in it needs to go. I learned a few years ago it actually leaks the chemicals from the non-stick coating into your food when you cook in it!

Remember, if we aren't going to be RUTHLESS, then we may as well not do this at all because it's going to build right. back. up. It isn't long lasting to just kind of declutter, we need to be fierce and push ourselves out of our comfort zone a bit here. 

Remember, if you have empty space - THAT'S OK. MORE than OK! 

You've got this mama. You've made it to day 4, which is a big deal. 

Let's finish strong!
