Chapter 1: The Dishwashing Dilemma

For many, the thought of tackling a mountain of dirty dishes can be overwhelming. If you struggle to find the motivation to keep your kitchen tidy, this technique may change your perspective and make dishwashing a breeze.

In my experience, the only thing more frustrating than a sink full of dirty dishes is the never-ending cycle of washing them. Just when you think you’ve finished, more plates, forks, and glasses appear as if by magic, forcing you to start the tedious process anew.

Throughout my journey to conquer “the dishes,” I experimented with various strategies—listening to podcasts, blasting music, washing up multiple times a day, and simplifying my meals. Despite my efforts, the dirty dishes continued to accumulate faster than I could motivate myself to wash them.

Hack: The One Dish Method

After considering a dishwasher, I realized that the time saved wasn't as significant when you factor in scrubbing, rinsing, and unloading. Instead, I adopted a new approach: washing dishes immediately after use.

This strategy was effective, but consistency was a challenge. Whenever life got hectic, I found myself procrastinating and reverting to the old habit of saving all the dishes for the end of the day.

However, a breakthrough came when I decided to eliminate my dishpans and drainer. With no place to let the dishes accumulate, I had no choice but to adhere to the “one dish” rule. Since then, my kitchen has been immaculate.

The steps are simple: Use your dish, wash it, dry it, and put it away. By ditching the drainer and practicing this method, you’ll find it impossible for dishes to pile up.
