To start off right follow these steps:

- keep all your spices in one area like upper cabinets instead of scatter them throughout different areas.. This will make things easier access during preparation.
- Keep any larger appliances (blenders) near outlets if possible as well so they don’t need dragged across every time use them.
- Having organized drawers where utensils belong also makes mealtime go more smoothly without searching for missing tools every few minutes!.
- Don't forget about proper storage containers too- having reusable glass jars work best since plastic tends hold odors after some uses which affects flavors; metal ones should only used bake goods due potential rusting over long periods sitting watery sauces etc…
