Until this week I never understood the saying, "later never comes" I just thought it meant procrastinators will always procrastinate, but it means that the time right now is literally never later (perhaps obvious to most!)

Later is an indefinite postponement, which has real life impacts on our homes and lives when we continually put things off to an indefinite future. Learn today some strategies for getting things done like a boss and what to do when you can't tackle something straight away, but you also don't want to kick it down the road to later.

Every kitchen I've ever been into has at least one (and usually many more) small appliance that they are no longer using that is taking up precious real estate in their kitchen cupboards.

Todays challenge is simple - take out every small appliance in your kitchen, lay it out on your benchtop or table and make honest choices about whether you use it enough to keep it (and allowing the space for it) or if it's time to let it go. When you're putting back the items you're keeping, put the most used at the front and set an alarm in your phone for 6-12 months time and if you haven't used the items at the back in that time, you can declutter them too.

To get you thinking, here are some ideas of what small appliances might be hiding in your kitchen cupboards:

Toaster

Sandwich press / jaffle maker

Blender

Stick (immersion) blender

Food processor

Hand mixer

Stand mixer (e.g. KitchenAid)

Coffee machine (pod, espresso, drip, plunger etc.)

Coffee grinder

Kettle

Slow cooker / crockpot

Rice cooker

Air fryer

Deep fryer

Bread maker

Ice cream maker

Waffle maker

Juicer

Electric frypan / skillet

Multi-cooker (e.g. Instant Pot, Thermomix, Ninja Foodi)

Electric griddle

Dehydrator

Popcorn maker

Milk frother

Yoghurt maker

Egg cooker

Pie maker

Food steamer

If you have any items in your home that you *thought* would be valuable but find out aren't then this episode is for you. It can be disappointing, frustrating or even devastating when you find out that items that you've kept because you were told they were valuable turn out to have very little monetary value.

It might be coins, stamps, collections, antiques, vintage items or maybe just an appliance you paid a lot for and intended to sell. Sometimes they're not valuable anymore because too much time has passed and you missed the boat, and sometimes it's just how markets work and if there is no demand then your supply isn't valuable.

My challenge today is to identify if there is a category or item that fits this in your home and take the next right step. Maybe it's getting an official valuation, maybe it's just checking ebay and seeing if other people have had success in selling the item... and maybe (probably?) it is making the decision to donate it or sell it for cheap so you can let go of the mental load and reclaim the freedom of the physical space, and brain space these items of lost value have been taking up.
