I'm choosing to work on a different room each month. This is not the Marie Kondo way. She wants you to start with your clothes and gather all of them from all of the rooms in your home. Let's face it, many people have and store clothes all over the house and in many closets. If you do, you might want to watch her show on Netflix or read her book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing. You might decide to declutter using her method.
Starting in the kitchen on my "once in a lifetime task" has already given me the confidence to move forward. If you would like to join me in this adventure, you still have time, the month is not over. You can start with any room you like or follow the Konmari method. I am starting with the kitchen because I like to cook so I am needing everything organized and cleaned. There is also a chance to redecorate while tidying up. Do we really need all those bowls, dishes, tupperware and silverware? We might be surprised with what we can live without. My kitchen drawers are no longer full of junk with everything just thrown in. I plan to do a lot of tossing, donating or selling. Anyone need a juicer? I haven't used it in a long time and already have a blender.You know when you clean up you find items you had been looking for; it always happens. I have found a few things. I encourage you to declutter and simplify your life along with me. I have to go clean out the refrigerator.
