Also, I hope this doesn’t break the grotesque rule. 😏

You can start be storing away the blender base and pressure cooker (you don’t use them every day) … move the giant counter top toaster somewhere else (you probably only use it once every two days) … get an undercabinet paper towel holder … get rid of the knife block storage (store small knives in a drawer - large knives on a magnetic wall holder - (you don’t use all the knives every day))

You can still be messy and unorganized after all these changes … at least you’ll have more room to put things and keep it looking clearer without have to change how you work.

And then a rule of working in a kitchen I learned from an Italian cook … as soon as you start, don’t leave the kitchen (don’t go watch tv, read, or play a game)

Practical rule … set timers for everything and time everything appropriately (time everything to finish at the same time - example: if meat takes 10 minutes, vegetables 12 minutes and rice 30 minutes … start rice first, vegetables next and meat last)

And the golden rule that my mom taught me … if you’re not cooking, you’re cleaning - if you’re not cleaning, you’re cooking … if you clean some while you are waiting for things to boil/cook/fry/bake, you’ll have less dishes to do in the end

I think I used my toaster 7 or 8 years ago?

I was like this with my coffee maker (just a regular cheap drip coffee maker) … I kept it on the counter thinking I’ll make coffee in it … instead I use a coffee press and make just two cups at a time … but I kept the drip machine thinking I’ll use it some time … after not using it for two years, I finally realized I should just store it in a cabinet in the kitchen and not on the counter top.
