When she prayed about it, she felt God prompting her to write about the very thing she thought was holding her back\u2014her messy house.<\/p>\n<p>White listened to the prompting and started a blog called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aslobcomesclean.com\/\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href, '', 'resizable=no,status=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,fullscreen=no,scrollbars=no,dependent=no'); return false;\"><em>A Slob Comes Clean<\/em><\/a>, where she connected with a community of readers who also struggled with managing their homes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI realized there were so many other women [struggling],\u201d White said. \u201cI had to come up with strategies to break through my irrational emotional attachments.

One of the most common areas White said readers struggle to manage is the kitchen. Here are some of her best ideas for decluttering and organizing your cooking space:  <\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Identify and remove \u201cDuh\u201d Clutter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>White recommends tossing items that obviously don\u2019t belong.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cA lot of us who struggle with clutter really love to analyze things,\u201d White said. \u201cThere are things that don&#8217;t need to be analyzed. I give myself permission to just stick stuff in the donate box.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She says to view this tip as a \u201cpermission slip\u201d to get rid of \u201cduh\u201d clutter before tackling the more difficult items.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Ask yourself \u201cWhere would I look for this first?\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>White has found that asking yourself this question simplifies organizing a kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you come across something in your kitchen, what\u2019s the first drawer you would open to look for [it]?\u201d White asked. \u201cThat\u2019s where it should go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re struggling to imagine where you would look for something, White recommends a follow-up question: \u201cWould it even occur to me that I have this?\u201d Even if something is useful or valuable, if you don\u2019t use it, you don\u2019t need it. If it\u2019s not an item you use or would remember to look for, it can go in the toss pile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Eliminate unnecessary steps<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>White\u2019s mother helped her organize her own kitchen and gave White some advice: a kitchen should be organized to maximize efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, if you&#8217;re at your stove, the things that you need consistently, again and again at your stove, need to be in the spaces around your stove,\u201d White said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Embrace the container concept<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of White\u2019s main decluttering philosophies is an idea she calls the \u201ccontainer concept.\u201d She uses this concept to shift focus from organizing mountains of belongings, to identifying your storage as the limit of how much you can own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach space within your home\u2014including drawers and cabinets and pantries\u2014is a limit,\u201d White said.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve reached the limit of your container, you have to start getting rid of things.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe key is to put your favorite things in there first, and then whatever doesn&#8217;t fit, goes,\u201d White said. \u201cThat naturally sorts out what you need to keep and what you don&#8217;t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Consolidate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A common problem White has noticed in kitchens is an excess of duplicates. It\u2019s a problem she faced in her own home\u2014owning multiple skillets and other kitchen knick-knacks. The final step of the decluttering process is consolidating and getting rid of unneeded extras.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPut &#8216;like&#8217; things together,\u201d White said. Doing this will allow you to see how many of each item you own. Then, using the container concept, figure out how many of that item will fit in your space and keep only that number.<\/p>\n<p>White knows it can feel overwhelming to attempt to <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/better-living\/emotional-and-mental-health\/decluttering-tips-for-your-home\/\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href, '', 'resizable=no,status=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,fullscreen=no,scrollbars=no,dependent=no'); return false;\">declutter and re-organize<\/a> your kitchen, but she had one final tip for those longing to declutter, but feeling stuck.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you&#8217;re overwhelmed, the key is to get started,\u201d White said. As you get started, you will see this space much more realistically, and you reduce the overall volume of stuff, which then reduces the feeling of being overwhelmed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dana K.
