It's sad how everyone's diminishing the message by saying how small a task it is. Tackling one small thing at a time is how we can make change. And what might seem like a molehill to you is a mountain to someone else.

It's sadder that people think this is a solution at all.

There is a reason why you didn't get to those dishes. Even "being lazy" does not come out of the blue for 99.99% of the people. Even if you do the dishes now, that reason is still there. So the next dishes will also stay in that extremely clean beforehand kitchen. And all the other things you have a problem with too.

I used to not do the dishes because I was playing games. Why was I playing games? Because I was deeply depressed. Why was I deeply depressed? Well that is a long story, but mostly solving that solved my gaming and dishes routine. I still game, but not at the cost of other things.
