take inventory
Catalog what's available
Take inventory is to count and catalog what you have on hand.
In business, this means systematically listing stock or assets: The store closes early on Sunday to take inventory.
Figuratively, it means to assess one's situation, resources, or priorities: After the divorce, she took inventory of her life and decided to move abroad.
