#30days Home Organisation Challenge
DAY 10: Today we’re looking at simplifying our lives… your home should provide you with easy ways to recharge without creating a hassle trying to do it. Getting your coffee quickly in the morning when you're half awake, or serving tea to guests after dinner shouldn't be time-consuming and frustrating because you're all over the place getting the things you need out of different cupboards. So it's time to simplify your routine by creating an organised coffee and tea station in your kitchen.
JOURNAL:
What’s causing you stress right now? Are self-imposed deadlines or expectations contributing?
What could you let go of in order to ease this stress?
TASK:
Tidy Up Your Tea & Coffee
5 STEPS TO CREATE A COFFEE & TEA STATION AT HOME:
1. Transfer all varieties of coffee and tea into permanent containers like mason jars, tins, baskets or other containers. Make them easy to see, stylish to display, and label them so you can easily tell which one to grab.
2. Store all spoons, strainers, diffusers, stir sticks, etc. together. Keep them in a cup or tin or jar or hang them up on a hook so you don't have to search through the silverware drawer. If you use lemons, honey or cinnamon with your warm drinks, have them handy as well - perhaps in a stylish basket, a honey pot or a vintage tea cup on a windowsill nearby.
3. Stack or hang coffee and tea cups with or near the supply station. Consider keeping everything in one or two trays or baskets so it's grouped neatly together.
4. This may seem obvious but keep the station close to the coffee maker and/or teapot. It'll save you from crisscrossing the kitchen when you're brewing a pot.
5. Try to keep the drink station close to the sink (if you have an outlet there). The closer you are to the water supply you need, the easier it will be.
