Since I quit my job, one of my goals was to go through and entirely clean out my house from top to bottom. A daunting task. Decluttering things that no longer serve us. Trying to tidy up our home. Last year we remodeled our pantry #ihatewireshelving , and I haven’t had the time, energy, or mentality to keep up with it. So it got messy. The first picture is our before picture minus how the floor looked because I had started removing things before I took the picture. Well, one of my first goals was to reorganize the pantry to be more conducive to our daily functioning. I feel like I succeeded. Is it like the pantries you see on Pinterest? No. Hell, it’s not even fully finished being organized because I have things on the top shelf that I feel could be more useful somewhere else. But, it works. I was able to create more space for items that were just stuffed willynilly on the shelves before. I left space on shelves for future items. I kept extra items like a second box of crackers to go to the storage shelves in the garage. But in doing this I didn’t stress myself by doing it all in one day, no, I broke it down to shelf by shelf, day by day. Why? Because I needed to. I didn’t need to stress myself out to reorganize my pantry in one day. I didn’t need to overwhelm myself trying to figure out how I was going to do this. I broke it down. One shelf at a time and once I was done with that shelf moved on to another non-pantry related task. Moral of the story? Don’t let the task overwhelm you. Find a way to break it down into small chunks. Create breaks after completing a part of the task and do other things. Let’s not stress. Also doesn’t my pantry look pretty now? 😆😆 #breakitdown #dontstressyourself #pantryreorganization #organizedpantry #calmmindsandgoodvibes (at Clayton, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXTkFehutI0/?utm_medium=tumblr
