Clean before you cook!
Recommended by Sophie Consults
I live in a 100 year old house with no dishwasher & I got this recommendation from my favorite chef Sohla El-Waylly.
Before I begin ANY kitchen project (bfast, lunch, cooking for 10, whateva) I try to unload my dish rack & clean any existing dishes. It keeps the endless Sisyphean task of dishes under control!

Same, I need the sink and counter empty before starting cooking, becuase what if I need the space to rinse something etc mid cook!?! Helps immensely

Who knew that growing up meant constant dishes! I also have gotten into the habit of cleaning as I cook (while onions sweat/water boils/soup simmers). Trying not to leave my whole mess until after eating really helps.

THIS. For whatever reason, having a clean space (empty sink, etc) before I cook seems to be the difference between it feeling like a meditative exercise and a chore.
