Key Takeaways [23:25] Clear Your Counters: Start by removing everything from your kitchen counters, wiping them clean, and only replacing items that are absolutely essential. A minimalist approach creates both visual and functional clarity. [29:03] Use Baskets and Trays for Intentional Storage: Keep your counters organized by using trays or baskets for papers, mail, and other everyday items. This keeps clutter contained and intentional. [32:15] Audit Your Kitchenware: Streamline your kitchen cupboards by keeping matching dishes and glassware that stack neatly. This creates both visual harmony and saves space. [39:00] Limit Food Storage Containers: Stick to 2-3 sizes of food storage containers that nest well together, reducing clutter and the chaos of mismatched lids and boxes.
