Cooking, it is satisfying enjoying the fruits of your labor and with cooking you can get that satisfaction every day if you choose.

Hard disagree. The process is fun, and everyone loves to eat, but the cleanup is drudgery at its basest form.

Tidy as you go. Don't see it as a separate task. Tidying up is part of the cooking process.

That's what I do - I clean as I cook because I've got ADHD and I will never conquer a big pile of dirty cookware... clean one at a time so it's never an imposing task.

Implement the golden rule: cooks don't clean.

I prefer to be the one doing the cleaning so I don't have to feel limited in what or how I cook in order to be considerate to the person cleaning up, otherwise it adds an element of stress I don't need and an artificial constraint.
