What made my kitchen work? Noticing the triangle. Heck, LEARNING about the triangle.
No one ever taught me—or at least, not that I remember. Sink. Stove. Refrigerator.
And once I understood the relationship between those three places, I started looking at my own kitchen differently.
I relocated things to keep more of the work within that triangle. I rethought my tiny pantry. I reconsidered my drawers. I even traded places between my cups and plates.
Game changer.
But the bigger lesson for me was this:
Sometimes your home is already telling you what isn’t working. You just need a reason to notice.
That’s a big part of how I approach organizing. Rather than starting with “Where should this go?” I like to start with “What’s happening here?”
What keeps getting left on the counter? What do you reach for every day? Where does something repeatedly land? What part of a routine feels harder than it should?
Those little clues can tell us a lot.
If you’d like to do a little noticing of your own, I created a Home Clarity Reflection with questions to help you look at the places and routines in your home with fresh eyes.
You don’t have to be ready to organize anything.
Just start by noticing.
