kubernetes: How to set active namespace for all kubectl commands?

I am working on kubernetes cluster. In my cluster i am having 3 namespaces.

At a time when i want to work on staging namespace.

In every kubectl command i have to pass namespace

kubectl get pods -n staging

kubectl get deployment -n staging

Is there any way to set active namespace at a time?
