I have been keeping up with my dishes lately more than I ever have in my life. It came about in kind of a weird way for me. My dishwasher broke and I suddenly had to hand wash all my dishes. I knew it was going to be a major problem so I made a goal. I decided I was going to make sure I washed every dish every night before I went to bed so they would never stack up to be a nightmare. Eventually my apartment manager got around to replacing my dishwasher and now I have kept up with doing dishes every evening only it's a lot easier with a dishwasher.

Now I run the dishwasher almost every night, unless it's really empty then I just leave it. Every morning I unload it while my coffee is brewing.

To some people this might not seem like a big deal, and to others it might seem impossible to keep up this routine. To me it has been a big improvement to my quality of life. If I feel like cooking something I always have a kitchen that is in a state that will allow me to do that and it always feels so good.

I've been doing the same, emptying the dishwasher while the coffee brews, and it really helps me feel not-behind at the start of the day. I'm so grateful to have the machine! The detergent container says "running the dishwasher daily saves water" and I always think, "but it uses energy!" But I have realized it's energy that isn't coming from my meager inner store, so I can use it for something else. And if I skip a night, the next morning I invariably need something that's in there, dirty.
