I placed my measuring utensils within reach. When you are use to a little dab of this, a pinch of that, getting use to measuring everything was a pain. Forget digging for them. Now that they are right in front of me I tend to use them more.

Digital Food Scale & Measuring Spoons on Kitchen Counter.
I keep a small Tray on the kitchen counter,with The Digital Food Scale ,several Measuring Cups,and 2 sets of Measuring Spoons.I am much more diciplined to use all these tools when there is Multiple Sets,and within easy reach,no need to wash/rinse utensils after each use.Also when measuring "Tare" on The Food Scale,sometimes i use a piece of "Saran Wrap" instead of a plate for easy use and clean up.25848553

If you are weighing foods and will be using the utensil you're scooping with, tare out the weight of both the container and the utensil before weighing the food.
This will make it easier to account for any food sticking to your utensil - it's easier than scraping off the utensil to ensure you aren't going over weight!
Before I had a look at Stage two and saw it was all about Measuring and being sure the portions were accurate, I decided to measure a few items I use in the kitchen. The ladle for beans plus. A few other easy serving utensils, ramekins, bowls, plus. Just keeps things a bit simpler.
