Keep overview in shelves and cabinets
Behind floor-to-ceiling sliding doors is my "pantry", in the u. a. also a very deep shelf with fond memories. Many things are old mementoes that I rarely use or "exhibit" for me. From experience, I know that after decades, I often miss a part that I've just disposed of, and therefore remain, so some keepsakes where they are: In the farthest corner of a shelf. It happens to me sometimes to decorate a part of my kitchen decoration to "old", and then I remember the old pieces.
Whenever I want to use or decorate something, however, I often do not find it again, do not even know where it could be, and so for those "nooks and crannies" in my household, I've learned to take pictures of things you do not looks straightaway.
Shown on photo 1 is a shelf, in which high holding churns obstruct the view of the objects behind. The overlying shelf is almost ceiling height, so I can not see what is at a shelf depth of 80 cm in it.
I am helped by a photo of the things that are on the shelf / cabinet at the very back: During cleaning / sorting, I photographed the objects (picture 2), which are at the back and of larger things (holding jugs, which are at the front because I often use them etc.) are concealed. I laminated the printed image and attached it to the side wall of the shelf (picture 3).
That's how I see exactly when I'm looking for something, where I can find it right away. I have also made such photos of shirt and sweater stacks for my husband's wardrobe: he stacks shirts in rows of two in his deep cupboard shelves and rummaged for a long time for a particular shirt, before he found it. With a photo of the back stack, there are no more problems.
Of course you can "clear out", but that's not what I'm here for. It's all about keeping the overview.
