Megan Ludvinsky, founder of About Space Organizing in Central Arkansas, calls this her main mantra.
Though it applies to every room, the kitchen tends to benefit the most because its so heavily utilized.
When chatting with new clients, Ludvinsky often explains the concept of ruthless editing with kitchen colanders.
If you regularly let go of what you dont use, youll always have exactly what you neednothing more.
Bye,mismatched food containersand niche gadgets!
Take a moment to look around your kitchen right now, Ludvinsky says.
I bet you might spot at least one item that should be in another room.
It really makes a difference, Ludvinsky insists.
This is also a good time toput awayleftover ingredients.
Every day, you should be regularly making sure your dishes are washed or at least in the dishwasher.
A clear sink allows you to actually use it, she explains.
That way, no cleanup is actually required.
