Sorry, in my household, dishes aren't washed until the cupboards and utensil drawers are empty. Need to fry an egg? Use the last mug and then use the salad tongs to eat it.
This is half the reason I only own 2 of everything. The other reason is my temper but that's why I'm in therapy.(not proud but working on it and making progress... PTSD, apparently. And dishes are a trigger.)
The fewer dishes there are, the smaller the pile can be.
It also helps to rinse and neatly stack them as you set them by the sink. Makes the job less daunting.
