Is this just a fact of life or is this a constant battle to keep dishes from piling up.
Even making huge efforts feel like i can’t keep up.
Used to use paper plates and plastic forks - but don’t go back to that.

My dishes pile up until my sink is full and I put them in the dishwasher. Low motivation blows.

I will try to have less bowls and plates.
If I put it somewhere hard to get to. Don’t want to throw them out.

Doing dishes is a chore but sometimes it’s relaxing. I do them after each meal.

I bought a tabletop dishwasher for £200
It’s 6 years old now and still works!
Know it’s a pretty lazy solution, but I never did the dishes, and needed a solution
It stores everything until I run it twice a week
Think a dishwasher tablet only costs about 12p

If it helps it’s with it.
Thinking about options and how to make the is easier.

I keep them from piling up by washing dishes after every meal, and not letting myself end the day before today’s dishes are done.
If anything might crust if I let it be, I rinse it off asap.
I do the dishes every morning. If there is not many i wait until the next day. But they never pile up. I force myself to do it. Some days i dont feel like it and have no motivation. But i do it for my dad. Its literally my only chore.

AGH!
I can’t stand doing dishes because it feels like I’m cleaning everyone else’s mess which makes me feel worthless.
And I keep thinking how much better it would be if people ate foods that were like less dish heavy…
Idk what though.
Hand foods like grapes/watermelon? Idk…
Otherwise what I try to do is organize them a bit when washing. Put the utensils in a big bowl or cup, put the bowls together, stack the cups, stack the plates,… just keep it all separate and neat.
Then when I load the dishwasher it feels a lot easier loading it.
I only trust myself to do a good job on that at least. I organize putting them in the dishwasher too - or try to. Putting the forks together and separate from spoons/knifes/other utensils so when I unload it, it moves a lot faster.
