u/Disguspitated

I live alone, and I have managed to build up a pretty decent routine for most things, but doing the dishes still alludes me. I can't seem to figure out how to reliably keep my dishes cleaned and put away.

I've invested in paper plates to reduce the number of dishes, and that has helped a bit.

Usually I just get anxious enough about it that I force myself to do it, but that doesn't feel sustainable.

Has anyone else figured this out? I'd love to get some ideas/suggestions.

Thanks in advance!
