This week we are focusing on smaller items like our silverware and utensils. Those unique gadgets you bought intending to use but years later you have not used it once. We also will be looking at our dishes. Do you live in a house of 2 and have enough dishes for an army?
Step 1: pull everything out
Step 2: Go through the list and evaluate
Dishes:
1. Are any broken or chipped? Throw it out.
2. Do you have an excess? Look at how many dishes you have and how many are in your house? Do you really need that many?
3. Has anything not been used in 6 months?
4. Is there anything you don't like?
5. Don't forget those coffee mugs? Do you really use them all? I used to buy coffee mugs for travel souvenirs. Know what happened? I had a ridiculous amount. I never used half of them. Pick the ones you like best and use the most and donate the rest.
6. Look at your mixing bowls? Are any broken? How many sets do you have? Do you use them all? Are any stained? Get rid of any excess. 1-2 sets should be enough as a rule of thumb. I prefer glass and stainless steel personally. The plastic stains easily, is not sustainable, and is not as sturdy.
Utensils:
1. Are any broken? Any where the handle keeps breaking. Any stained?
2. Do have an excess? Do you need 5 can openers for instance? Donate anything in excess.
3. Do you have any you haven't used in months?
4. Is there anything you don't like?
Gadgets:
1. Are any broken?
2. Do you have an excess?
3. Do you have any you haven't used in months?
