Clear Your Countertops

Patty Morrissey, a professional organizer and Gold-level KonMari consultant, says your kitchen counters are a rewarding place to declutter. This area tends to accumulate a lot of “stuff,” whether it’s dishes, mail, bags of chips, small appliances, or other random items. “In the kitchen, aim to keep countertops clear,” she recommends. “This will make it easier to clean up after cooking.”

Roberts echoes this sentiment, explaining that, “You can really transform a room by keeping your countertops clear and clutter-free.” Plus, it only takes a few minutes to put away any items that might be lingering on your kitchen counters. Tiny task, big benefits.
