How to wash the dishes daily
It made me
relieved and happy
 "It's hard fighting the temptations of slacking after food, but I fought it and I washed the dishes EVERYTIME right after I finished eating."
How I did it: forced myself to wash them everytime after eating. It's really hard, but it pays off soooo well. everytime i'd imagine the dishes sitting there, becoming smelly, hard to clean, I knew it would take me at least a minute to finish every one plate if I leave them for a while and that if I do them right away it will take no more than 5 seconds each. So, when I dropped the plates at the sink, I never sat before the sink was clean and empty. It feels awesome. Lessons & tips: don't postpone it or it will never happen. And washing dishes that are fresh-dirty is 1000 times easier than leaving them for even a day.

How I did it: I just buckled down and washed everything one day, and now sometimes I wash the dishes immediately after I eat, but if I don't do that, I do it right before bed. My partner says, "Do you really have to do the dishes now?" and I say, "Yes, because if I don't, I won't do them tomorrow and then before you know it, they'll be totally nasty." Fortunately, e no longer tries to bargain by promising to wash them first thing in the morning, or I'd… Read how I did it…

Wash dishes right after using!!

I need to quit being so lazy and wash my dishes right after use. I think 1 month of getting off my ass will do me some good :)

Day 2

I washed all the dishes yesterday, and then I washed my breakfast dishes this morning. So now, every day, I must make sure all dirty dishes are clean before I go to bed.
Success conditions: 30 days of clean dishes.
I hate my kitchenware.

I never wash the dishes two days in a row. Hell, I don’t wash them 5 days in a row. My kitchen is full of them. The only kitchenware washed in my kitchen now are the ones I picked and bought myself. And they’re only like 3-4 items. All the kitchenware I have were left from my husband’s parents when they gave us this house. And I genuinely HATE them. I really wish I could throw out all that kitchen ware and get new ones that I pick! Actually, I wanna throw our the kitchen. I wanna throw out the apartment!!
First Entry: Wash the Dishes Daily
19 months ago
My least favorite household chore is washing the dishes, handsdown. I don’t own a dishwasher and I hate standing at the sink and sticking my hands in dirty water. My dishes tend to pile up and sit around for at least a week. If I wash my dishes daily though, it won’t be so gross (hopefully).
This is so hard!

I don’t know why I have so much trouble with this. If I were a scientist, I could see maybe growing experimental cultures on my dishes, but I’m not so why would I let that happen?? I’m the laziest person on earth. Going to really try to master this one!
I watch Sex and the City reruns almost every night at 11 and I DO have a tv in the kitchen, so I’m going to make that my dish doing time. Maybe that will work.
I give up!

I really hate doing dishes and theres no way that I am ever going to get in the habit of washing them every day, its just not going to happen. Hopefully someday soon I’ll have a dishwasher, which would make it so much easier.
Most of the time

I usually keep this up, if not every day I do them close to everyday. Good enough, I’m marking this goal as complete!
Need to keep it up

I’ve been keeping up with this most of the time. Maybe not every day but I’m definitely doing my dishes more often than I used to. I’ll mark this as done if I continue to be good through the month of March.
