It's 2011. The holidays are over. Back to reality, right? To help ease back into work-mode and get a handle on what I need to accomplish this year, I started by making a list. The problem is the list just keeps getting longer and more detailed, making it harder for me to decide what my urgent, top priorities are. As you contemplate the goals you want to achieve this year or simply the things you might want to avoid, a good place to start may not be a list on a piece of paper, but a walk through the kitchen.
Why the kitchen?
The kitchen is a hot-spot for home fires. Cooking, in fact, is the leading cause of all winter residential-building fires. And the winter season brings the highest number of home fires than any other time of year, as reported by the U.S. Fire Administration.* Residential building fire incidence is collectively highest in the three winter months of January, February, and March.
