Hey Friends,
Today is Day 2 of your three-day pantry series, and this is the actual decluttering day. In this episode, I walk you through a simple, five-step process that makes even an overflowing pantry feel manageable. Decluttering the pantry can be a fun, relaxing, almost meditative project when you break it down into these steps.
The 5 Steps From the Episode: 1. Space Planning
If you did Day 1, your post-its are already on your shelves. If you didn't, Amber walks you through doing it quickly so you can start.
2. Duplicate Your Post-Its
Write the same category labels again and place them on your counter, table, or floor. These become your landing zones as you pull items out.
3. Pull Everything Out
Remove items shelf by shelf and place them under the correct duplicate post-it. Trash anything stale, open, or expired. Add new categories only if needed.
4. Clean the Shelves
Wipe crumbs, sticky spills, and bottle drips. This takes a few minutes and makes the reset feel fresh and new.
5. Put Everything Back
Now that everything is grouped, placing it back is fast and easy. Follow the original post-it map you planned yesterday.
