## Prompt

```text
Help me organize a small space so it stays tidy.

**Space and size:** [e.g. "galley kitchen, 8 ft of counter", "reach-in closet 5 ft wide", "tiny entryway"]
**What needs to fit:** [ITEMS AND ROUGH AMOUNTS]
**How the space is used:** [e.g. "two people cook daily", "kids drop bags here after school"]
**Problems now:** [e.g. "counters always full", "can't reach the back of cabinets"]
**Renting or own:** [RENT - no drilling? / OWN]
**Budget:** [AMOUNT]

Give me:
1. Zones: what goes where, based on how often each item is used (daily items at waist-to-eye height, rarely used items high or low).
2. Storage ideas ranked by cost, including free options (rearranging, repurposing boxes) before buying anything. Mark renter-friendly options.
3. A shopping list with measurements I should take before buying (depth, height, door clearance).
4. Safety checks: anchor tall furniture and shelving to the wall, keep heavy items low, keep cleaning products and sharp items out of children's reach, and don't block vents, outlets, or exits.
5. A labeling approach and a 2-minute end-of-day reset.

Return a short zone map (described in text) and a step-by-step order for the reorganization.
```
