- Favor quality over quantity: One good knife is better than ten mediocre ones.
- Everything must have its place: If an item doesn’t have a designated place, it’s probably unnecessary.

- Store vertically: Use the height of your cabinets with shelves and organizers.
- Keep surfaces clear: A clear countertop is a functional countertop.
