One spot that gets a lot visual clutter is the refrigerator door. You name it, magnets, reminder notes, photos, take out menus etc.
Are you ready to declutter your visually stimulating refrigerator door?
Yes, okay, follow these simple steps.
1 Gather
Get all the items off your refrigerator door.
2 Discard:
+ trash immediately.
+ what doesn’t belong.
+ what you will not use again.
+ what you will not use in the next 6 months.
+ what are worn or broken (especially magnets).
3 Organize
Place the items you use back on the refrigerator door.
Tips:
+ If you have a lot of business cards get a business card holder.
+ If you have a lot of notes that you have to remember, type them on your phone instead. Or add events/tasks with Google calendar and send reminders to everyone.
+ If you have a lot of restaurant takeout menus use a binder dedicated to menus and it is easier to flip through them.
+ Create different zones on the refrigerator door for photos and artworks or add a whiteboard for important reminders.
This is the simplest Magnetic Dry Erase Whiteboard we found on Amazon*. The size is 12×18 inches and it includes markers and eraser. The whiteboard is a big magnet. The lowest price we have seen is $4.99, so that will not break your bank.
An idea to store all your restaurant takeout menus, Binder with Plastic Sleeves 24-Pocket from Amazon*. We think it is just easier to flip through pages vs grabbing the menus off the refrigerator door and taking down magnets. We keep the binder on the side cabinet next our cookbooks. Lowest price we saw is $6.99 with different colors available.
