The start of a new year is a great time to hit the reset button in your life. It’s a time to renew your sense of motivation and recommit to your goals. But where should you start with your rededication to being your best self? It all starts with the basics. Get your pantry organised. A chaotic living space reflects and contributes to a chaotic life. Your home shouldn’t give you anxiety (and when you can’t find the ingredient, you need mid-recipe and have to tear through piles of clutter, that’s pretty anxiety-inducing). Your pantry should be both functional and beautiful. If it’s functional, you’ll be able to find what you need while cooking or meal-prepping. If it’s beautiful, it will bring you joy, and you deserve to feel joy in your home!
Start by decluttering. If you never use it, there’s no point in keeping it. Put the items you use daily in the most accessible areas. Choose a layout that will be easy to maintain. It’s not only about getting organised; it’s about staying organised. Lastly, make your pantry space your own. Choose decanters and storage options that you love to look at. Create labels using a personalised font and colour scheme. A gorgeous aesthetic will make sticking to new habits so much more enjoyable.
If you’ve never been an organised person, there’s no reason you can’t start now. You may not even know how much stress you can cut out of your life with some planning and daily maintenance.
