Agree, few people enjoy the process of cleaning cups and plates from greasy deposits and dried food particles.

Luckily, there is a trick that can make washing dishes less of a chore and more enjoyable.

How to Make Washing Dishes Fun

If you can't convince yourself to treat washing dishes as a meditative process during which you can clear your head of bad thoughts, then take your phone or laptop with you to the kitchen.

Turn on your favorite TV series, an entertaining show, or an educational podcast - all this will help you take your mind off dirty pots and pans.

In such a company the process will go much faster: we assure you, you won’t even notice how time flies.

What else can be done?

To reduce the amount of dirty dishes in your sink, try rinsing them as you go: while you're brewing tea, boiling dumplings, or waiting for dinner to heat up in the microwave.

You will also probably have a desire to tidy up if you see cute sponges for washing dishes, an original dispenser for detergent and other nice little things.

Finally, you can use the one-soapy-sponge rule. This means that you should only wash dishes until the sponge is lathered, and then take a 5-minute break after the soap runs out.

When there's a whole mountain of dirty dishes in the sink, it's psychologically easier to deal with the task if you break it down into smaller pieces.
