Using the Pareto Principle

 

Watch our latest video, involving The Pareto Principle, for an easy exercise to declutter a space.

We all have challenges when decluttering spaces in our homes. Some spaces are more challenging than others. But did you know that time can help you make those decisions about what goes and what stays? Try this simple kitchen exercise for decluttering your kitchen drawer using the Pareto Principle.

Empty your utensil drawer into a box and leave it close by. As you prepare your meals and cook in the kitchen, go to the box and pull out only what you need.  When complete, put the utensil back in your utensil drawer instead of the box.  As time goes on you will continue to add to your utensil drawer.

Finally, after a month or so take a look to see what’s left in your box.  Ask yourself, “Do I really need these items or can I let them go?  You may find that a less cluttered utensil drawer is just what you like!

Give The Pareto Principle a try and let time help you decide what goes and what stays.
