ProTip: push your knee(s) against the sink for extra support. Initially you'll feel a little weird, but you won't care after your back stops hurting. You can also use this when brushing your teeth and washing your hands.

I rented a house once that had a hammered copper kitchen sink. Never have I been more shamed in my life. It is the reason I trained myself to wash as I cook. It turns out that racing to wash before the water boils over or the food burns is a great way to keep my focus.

Alright, fine, screw it. I'll organize my NAS finally. I'll create structure there or die trying

Wooo! I cleaned my sink on Friday too! But then I had company and might have broken my foot and it's back 😭

Same, yep. Dishes put away and I fed myself? Winning! I even took the pup out and figured we should head out to the awesome dog park down the way —but that's when the car's head gasket blew. Should've stopped while I was winning. 😅🤷🏼‍♂️

It's such a lovley feeling, brief as it is at times.

It's pretty demoralizing to see it full of dirty dishes again the next day, though.

It really is an accomplishment sometimes. Good job! Now i need to clean my kitchen...

My kitchen just recently got clean....ish. It's clean relative to how it used to be but most would still likely look at it and be appalled. Which makes how proud I feel about my work tainted at best. But like, I should be proud, right?

Last Sunday I felt something weird happening to me and out of sudden I cleaned this disgusting corner of my room, that was full of actual trash, I threw away so many things. There's still work to do in my dresser and then I'll start in the kitchen, but I'm happy I managed to do this one thing. Anyway, I wanted to share my small win and applaud you for yours. Truly, congrats.

Fuck this hits hard

Nicely done. It might feel small, however the lack of motivation is a removed, and any progress on fighting that internal demon deserves some applause. If you keep it up, it'll get easier to do what has to be done.

Same, did this last Sunday and I was super proud of myself for finally doing it

Anyone else see a face?

Not to dunk on your achievement or anything, but isn't that a toilet brush?

It's definitely sold as one here where I live...

Otherwise, congrats!

I haven't used a cup/mug in about 6 months. I buy a coffee for $2, then refill that paper cup for a week u until it leaks from the seams. then I buy another one.

I also just eat out of the pan/pots now.. I'm a savage and stopped caring about things. sigh . sucks

I just bought a fancy mechanical keyboard from China. When I did my checkout the price went down when I changed my country from USA to Canada.

It's hard sometimes, just know that we're all here rooting for you brother.

Anti fatigue mats are incredibly helpful to have in the kitchen.

Glad you conquered the rent issue I've seen been being posted about recently!

I don't even have to deal with any pain, just sweat, and I still struggle to do it even somewhat regularly..

I do have a dishwasher, so loading and unloading that is easy enough. Washing clothes.. already a bit more difficult because it requires a certain time investment.

Sweeping or mopping the floors? Cleaning dust off of shelves? Actually organizing my stuff? Impossible.

Clean sink = happy kitchen

I just don't buy extra dishes, so I have to clean immediately after use.

For me it's the sense of accomplishment that my printed image of when the sink was last cleaned is working perfectly 🤣
