Start with the part of your kitchen you use most. A clear patch for making breakfast or chopping vegetables can make the whole room easier to work in.
First five minutes: clear one counter
Put away dishes, toss packaging, and move items that belong elsewhere into a basket. Wipe the surface once you can reach it.
Next five minutes: group what you reach for
Keep daily tools close to where you use them. Put coffee supplies near the kettle, or leave a cutting board and a small bowl together where you prep food.
Last five minutes: use what you have
Try an existing tray, jar, or shallow bowl before buying an organizer. Live with the setup for a week and see which items still wander back onto the counter.
