I try to make a general rule to ensure the kitchen is clean before I go to bed.

Because, whenever I'm too tired and tempted to just the leave the dishes in the sink for the next day, I remind myself that 100% of the time when I clean the kitchen before going to bed, I'm glad I did it the next morning.

Never ever, in the morning and I'm making breakfast in a clean kitchen, have I wished that I just left the dishes in the sink the night before.
