The author could try cleaning up the melted gelato that's all over the pretzels on the middle shelf and the almonds on the lower shelf. Who puts gelato in a cabinet?
A little more seriously though, I find it hard to relate to an author who puts working and playing video games on the same shelf, and who also puts chores and interacting with people on the same shelf. As far as I can tell, the ranking of things into "shelves" mostly has to do with how digital they are (assuming "work" here is done on a computer). Is that a common sentiment? For me, even as a relatively introverted person, I would rather be outside, spending time with family, or reading a book then working (even as much as I do enjoy my relatively cushy work as a software engineer).
