Clean out your Kitchen Drawers!

Open your drawers and cabinets. Look through the tool caddie on your counter. Pick up each and every hand tool, electric tool, and gadget in your kitchen and ask these questions to help you pare down to the essentials:

  • Is this easy to use?
  • Do I frequently use it?
  • Is it enjoyable to use - e.g., It feels good in my hand.
  • Is it easy to clean?
  • Is it easy to store and does it earns its keep in storage space?
  • Do I have too many of these?
  • Can I do this task just as easily by hand (without the messy cleanup of a machine?)
  • Does this tool really make the task easier and quicker, or is it just a cool gadget?
  • Is it uncomplicated to use, clean and care for?
  • Is it clean, in good shape, and ready for action?

After review, throw away or give away the items you really don't need!
