In many households, the kitchen counter is the entry point to the home. It is the place where everybody wants to “drop” the outside world as they enter.
Some solutions we can explore with you...
- establish the counter as a “no-drop zone” and ask your family to honor it.
- create attractive, accessible, well-labeled alternative “drop zones” for each type of item.
- clear the counter a few times a day into drop zones until the system takes hold.
