It’s time to declutter and organize your kitchen!

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve heard so many of y’all saying that you’re ready to start decluttering your home. Maybe it’s the New Year or being cooped up during the winter months that makes us want to really CLEAN HOUSE!

Are you feeling that way too? Are you antsy to clear the clutter and get your home organized?

ME TOO, SISTER! I’m going into 2023 with a big RESET and I would love for you to join me.

The first space in our home we’re tackling is our kitchen, and I have a simple online course to walk you through decluttering and organizing your entire kitchen!

Today, I’m walking you through the 5 modules I cover in the Simplify Your Kitchen course. If you’re scrappy then you can listen to these 5 steps and take off.

If you’re someone who wants MORE, even though you may be a little scrappy, I definitely recommend going through the course. You are going to get way more than what I share in this episode and post. It will be well worth your time and the small investment.

Check out the Simplify Your Kitchen course and get started today!

Step 1: Reset Your Mindset

The first thing you need to change is your mindset toward the stuff you own. You need to realize your personal capacity and what you’re efficiently able to handle at this very moment in your life. More than likely it’s very little because most of us are living beyond our capacity. 

It’s why we’re overwhelmed, overworked and overtired all the time. It’s why we’re never completely satisfied with the way our home looks. It’s because we continue to accumulate more and more in an effort to satisfy this inner longing we have. 

We need to embrace a new definition of minimalism, which I call mindful minimalism and I cover more in-depth in the Simplify Your Kitchen course, and learn to feel whole with a lot less. That is ultimately what we desire – to feel whole.

Mindful minimalism gives us a greater opportunity to feel whole.

Step 2: Overhaul Your Habits

It is our habits, good and bad, that have got us to this place. If we are unhappy with our home and the way we’re able or not able to manage it, it is because of our habits.

When we overbuy, overcommit and overconsume, we can blame our habits. It’s why we buy things on impulse which then become clutter in our homes.

Instead of breaking our bad habits though, we’re going to focus on establishing new habits. When you focus on creating new habits over and over again, the bad habits eventually fade away because they are no longer satisfying. You are then living in a state of craving good habits which in turn produce continued good results.

Most of us approach starting new habits by trying to change too much too soon. That’s where we fail in habit formation. In the Simplify Your Kitchen course, we will break down the habits we need to establish for lasting change into mini-habits and create systems so that we can accomplish these super-small habits on a daily basis. This is where the magic happens!

Step 3: Declutter and Let Go

Decluttering seems like a no-brainer process but I see many people get stuck here and can’t seem to bring themselves to take the first step. Our brain is pretty good at tricking us and it will feed us lots of excuses and lies. 

Our struggle with decluttering is why the first two steps are so important to unpack before we even begin. We have to reset our mindset towards the stuff we own and we create a desire so strong that the decluttering habit cues we see compel us to take immediate action.

As you declutter, it’s important that you learn how to let go. Not everything you get rid of will be considered clutter. Some things are actually purposeful or useful to your life but they may not be necessary and that’s when you will have to make the decision to just let go of some things.

Letting go is more than the physical act of removing items from your home. Letting go is releasing the mental and emotional attachment you have for an item for any reason. You might find it useful or sentimental. You might think it’s a perfectly good item to just get rid of. In all of these thoughts, you will find the strength to let go. And with everything you let go of, you will also be letting go of the bondage that item held over you.

Step 4: Systemize Your Kitchen

Usually, people stop after they declutter a space. They think they’re finished since the room feels light and airy. However, this is not the place to stop in the simplifying your home process.

Once you’ve reset your mindset, you’ve evaluated your habits and you’ve let go of clutter, it’s so important to take the next step to set up systems in your kitchen.

Systems are the method for getting things done and there are so many things that need to be done on a daily basis within your kitchen. Meal planning and prep and dishwashing are some daily tasks just to name a few helpful kitchen systems.

Most people just go about life without any thought of intentionally setting up their space so that it best serves them. In the Simplify Your Kitchen course, we will create some simple kitchen systems so that we can easily maintain a tidy and clutter-free kitchen.

Step 5: Maintain Daily with an Evening Reset

It will do you no good to declutter and organize your kitchen if it returns to its cluttered state within a week or month. Decluttering and organizing is not your full-time job, though it may have felt like it in the past, and you’re more than likely not getting paid to clean your own kitchen.

So how can we easily maintain a tidy and clutter-free kitchen without losing our minds? Very simply with a daily evening reset.

Now that you’ve decluttered your kitchen and set up a few systems, you should be able to keep the clutter from collecting again with a simple reset. By establishing the habit of a daily evening reset, tidying up your kitchen will be almost effortless. Evening you will not allow yourself to go to bed without resetting your kitchen because you know how good it makes you feel in the morning to wake up to a clean kitchen. It truly is the best self-care you can do for yourself.
