Doing the dishes seems like the dumbest thing to do when you’re overwhelmed with a very messy home. Washing dishes feels pointless. Pointless because the people in your house insist on eating multiple times every single day, and every time they do, they use dishes. So even if you wash them right now, they’ll be dirty again in a few hours. Or maybe in a few minutes. The futility is disheartening. Depressing. Maddening. Overwhelming. But there is a point. Doing the dishes is the first step of this whole change-your-house process. Doing them again tomorrow is where the magic will happen.
