Found the thread again, needing to remind myself that any kind of maintenance has to include keeping up with the dishes,,, I don't want to go back to having the fruit flies breeding on the unwashed dishes..

How are you going with a dishes focus notanotherdecade? Sometimes it can take a bit to get the daily thing going so don't beat yourself up too much if its a struggle at first. Finally, I'm at day 25 of washing dishes daily, but its taken me a long route to get to this point. The end for me was being sick of it being so hard to prep a cooked meal. and the mini marathon then stop, cycle. And finding someplace I could feel a both supportive and supported. After years of hosting this thread, I needed a different outlook.

Phew nearly got through all the washing from family visiting at the weekend,, Have to admit much of Monday evening was spent curled up in a ball getting thoroughly miserable about the continuing impact of family dynamics ... finishing tidying up from the visit feels like I'm reclaiming my space from an invasion, in so many ways,
.... ok not the best of motivations for tidying up, but it's getting done, with much muttering, but it is getting done..

nekomomWhat helped me was finding a tread with a friend to post on, and going to chat when it was time to wash dishes, and reporting back there - to chat and the thread- when they were done. cheer each other on. That is an important bit. So is cheering yourself on. repeat daily. It took me a couple of months of attempting that to get sick of the boom bust, marathon stop, method to start to string together the days of washing dishes done daily. I'm at day 33. It still takes effort. Sometimes there is not much to wash. I do it anyway.
