Store Your Tools Vertically
Kondo believes that practically everything in your home should be stored vertically, from your clothes and your kitchen tools to your carrots (she confessed she stands them upright in a drink holder in her fridge). Why? Storing objects upright creates the illusion of extra space.

Recycle Those Plastic Take-out Forks
Kondo is officially giving you permission to toss all of those extra napkins, forks and packets of soy sauce. (No, you will not bring them with you for a picnic in the park.) Also, toss all but one pair of tongs. Most people have way too many.
