Three years ago I had been working at a kid’s summer camp as a camp counselor in Parsippany, New Jersey. I was having a bad day.
My boss called me over to his “bench” and asked me what was wrong.
I answered I was sorry for crying but I was having a bad day.
He insisted for me to tell him what was bothering me, in sort of an annoyed tone that indicated he probably didn’t take me seriously.

1) Take out all the items from the pantry and lay out on a table or counter top even the floor. Please make sure to get rid of stuff that has expired.
2) Clean the shelves.
3) Now sort out your snacks to one group, spices in another group, cereals, canned goods, pasta, and con’t from there.
4) Keep all snacks, spices, cereals, canned goods, pasta each on it’s own shelf. Snacks can go on lower shelf, canned goods on the 2nd shelf and so one. Items that are often used keep right in front. Makes sense?
Happy De-cluttering!!
