I rearranged the kitchen. Initially I had just planned to take everything off the window ledge, and chuck things out or find better homes for them. We still have things to do with washing up by hand up there, and a plant, but the space is not currently a dumping ground.

That set off a bit of a cascade. I moved the microwave to the other end of the main counter, allowing me to put the toaster and bread bin next to each other again.

I then cleared the small counter between the fridge and the hob, which had been the tea station. The kettle and tea box ended up between microwave and sink, next to the food caddy, so I will be more likely to put my tea bags in the caddy. The small IKEA shelves that hold sauces and condiments are by the hob.

I also decluttered the trolley so we could move a few other things out of the way.

There's less stuff on the countertop, especially around the hob, so it's easier to prep food, and we have defined stations for making tea and sandwiches, which is also helpful

And actually, only a few things got chucked out or taken to the charity shop or whatever. A lot of it was finding two of the same thing and combining them

Oh, wow, that is an amazing amount of sorting out and matching location to the way you use things! And even if nothing leaves the house, it is still less clutter, because it is all where it should be.
