15 MINUTE PROJECTS

15 MINUTE PROJECTS
IF YOU HAVE 15 MINUTES, YOU CAN DO MORE THAN YOU THINK!


This is a great example of a cupboard in the kitchen that houses plastic containers. This is what clutter looks like. We call this clutter because it isn't functional and really bothered the homeowner. It bothered the homeowner so much she didn't want to open the cupboard door!


STEP ONE
ASSESS THE SITUATION.

What is it about this space that isn't working?

In this case, it became a chore to find the lid that belonged to the container.

 


STEP TWO
CLEAR OUT THE SPACE.

 

This really helps you start from scratch. It also has a therapeutic effect to it when you pull everything out, empty it on the floor and begin anew.



STEP THREE
GET RID OF WHAT ISN'T NEEDED. 

Questions to ask

Is it broken? 
Do I need it? 
Is it functional? 
Do I like it? 
Do I want it?

In this case, there were lids without containers so that means TOSS!




STEP FOUR
DE-CLUTTERED

This is what a de-cluttered, organized space looks like. 

Not only does it look nice, but every container is matched up with the corresponding lid making it functional and efficient.



BATHROOM PROJECT


This is a cluttered and inefficient space needing some help. 

This is a multi-use cupboard.

 
Step 1
Pull everything out of the space

 

Step 2
Sort out what is trash, what does not belong here, what you want to keep

Step 3
Put back only what belongs in the space


This is the finished project! 

Note that there is less in here than what was there initially. The bin helps keep items sorted in this small, multi-use space. Bins are optional. 

It is more important to get the space to be functional for your use.
