At some point it's got to be easier to get it over with and just do the damn dishes. (sh.itjust.works)

I find the opposite as an ADHD sufferer. When I use a dish, it goes in the dishwasher. If it's full, I run it. If it's clean, I empty it before I put the dirty dish in which takes all of 2 minutes. It basically forces the routine, and I end up running it almost every night and emptying it while I make my morning coffee.

Whereas with hand washing I end up building a pile in the sink and procrastinate until it gets big enough to take half an hour to get through.
