May 30th, 2008 - FlyLady missions: Tupperware
For the last few weeks (since the wedding, I think), I’ve been trying to get back to FLyLady’s daily missions. Having broadband helps because I can easily pull up the daily mission each morning. I do this every now again but always get off track the weeks they do bedrooms since I can’t do much upstairs while everyone else is sleeping.
A couple weeks ago, we were in the kitchen. The mission was to go through your Tupperware and other such plastic containers. This was such a great mission! We collected a lot of cottage cheese containers (Jedi needed it with every meal for a few months) and shredded Parmesan cheese (it’s cheaper than buying it in chunks; we use it for pesto and on pasta). I decided to limit myself to something like 10 of each. And I got rid of all the non-cheese containers that were similarly sized. This means I don’t have to hunt as hard for matching lids. Everything of that size is all the same, instead of some cheese, some sour cream, some strawberries. And of course different brands never fit it each other either. I also made sure that every container matched with a lid and got rid of anything that came up alone.
Along the way I also cleaned up other stuff that had been resting on the plastics shelved like old medicines and nail polish. It’s been a breeze to find a storage container for the last couple weeks.
