Day 5: December Kitchen Reset – Clean the Utensil Drawer Top Layer
You know that top layer of your utensil drawer? The one catching crumbs, random twist ties, and three pizza cutters you didn’t know you owned? Today we’re giving it a quick reset so you can actually find what you reach for most.
Your Task for Day 5: December Reset
Clean the utensil drawer’s top layer only.
Steps:
- Pull out the top layer of utensils, just what you use most.
- Shake out crumbs or wipe the drawer insert with a damp cloth.
- Toss broken tools, duplicates, or gadgets you never reach for.
- Put back only the essentials in a way that makes daily cooking easier.
Why It Matters
A cluttered utensil drawer slows down cooking and adds unnecessary frustration. Clearing just the top layer gives your kitchen an instant “ahhh” moment and gets you one step closer to a calmer, more intentional holiday season.
Quick Tips
- Drawer liners help catch crumbs and make future cleaning faster.
- If you touch it every day, it deserves a front-row spot. Everything else? Backstage or gone.
Tiny resets create big momentum. Today’s drawer refresh makes tomorrow’s cooking smoother and that’s the whole point.
