Today let’s tackle one of your kitchen cabinets. I know you have several of them, so pick the one that needs attention the most. Many of us have a cabinet that stores items we don’t use a often, and likely there are items in that cabinet we have not used in years. So set your timer. Open the cabinet and declutter. Donate the kitchen items you are not using. They can bless someone else and open up some storage areas for you in the kitchen.
Zone Mission: Declutter one kitchen cabinet
