My friend’s ‘set the stage’ decluttering tip has saved my kitchen

As someone who writes about home organization, I’m always open to new ways that can make decluttering feel less time-consuming.

And if there’s one space that I struggle to stay on top of, it’s my small-sized kitchen. No matter how hard I try, it seems almost impossible to keep my countertops and spaces clear on a daily basis. While I’ve tried various methods and ways to declutter my kitchen cabinets, it’s not too long before I quickly go back to old habits again (procrastination).
