The worst menial task I deal with is: Dishes hygiene; I feel like I’m putting in too much effort into washing dishes, and it makes me struggle with doing the task at all.
- I wash a dish repeatedly because I feel like it.
- I try to wash all stains and food off dishes.
EDIT: I also dislike inefficiency, so this would be a good opportunity to improve my methods.
I try to remove the blockers. In your case an example would be getting a countertop dishwasher?
Got one myself for my small apartment and man do I ever love it. I don’t really have to scrub my dishes anymore. When I’m done with them I either rinse and put it right in or leave it soaking in the sink for a bit and before the night is over I’ll just use a sponge to quickly get rid of the grime (no soap) then into the dishwasher. I run it just past 11 so power is way cheaper and on eco mode since there’s not really any stuck on food it’s just for sanitation purposes mostly.
I basically never have to deal with mountains of dishes anymore and just my large pots and pans needs to be done by hand.
