Survey #241—Full Response from Lela
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| How often are you troubled by clutter in the kitchen and/or pantry? | My kitchen usually has some clutter. |
| What sources of clutter or specific issues do you experience in the kitchen or pantry? | My kitchen is the room with the most landing zones for random stuff. I tend to set my purse, keys, and to-do items on the counter; and I frequently have small stacks of items to deliver to friends, family, and donation places. Plus, I have fruit bowls, kitchen scrap containers, and lap trays on the counter to keep them convenient for my hubby to use regularly. Then there's the toaster oven and dish drainer that are used multiple times per day. You know, after writing all that, it makes me wonder how I still have a nice counterspace spot for prepping food. Lol. |
| What organizing solutions or strategies have you tried or used in the kitchen, and how have they worked—or failed to work—for you? | I inconsistently put my purse in another room, but it is not as convenient when I do. I have placed to-do and donation items in other places, but then I forget about them for days or weeks. On a positive note, I have decluttered inside the kitchen cabinets and drawers, which are now roomy and functional. |
| What “one-trick pony” resides in your kitchen or pantry? Why do you keep it? | An ancient meat grinder. It used to belong to my parents and we used it when my relatives would give us fresh deer meat. We haven't used it in several years (due to the wasting disease deer began carrying), but I keep thinking we might get fresh meat again someday & would need to use the grinder. |
