Just discovered a much easier way to grind my coffee in the morning and felt dumb because it was so obvious, figure there's some good stories out there about this type of thing out there

The dishwasher should be run when it's convenient, not when it's full.

I run the dishwasher so it's finished at least an hour before I start dinner. So when I start cooking, 1. all the dishes are clean, and 2. the dishwasher is empty. This will save you so much effort if you can just learn to run the thing half full once in a while.

    This plus hand washing cooking stuff while cooking (when possible) make cleaning up after meals a lot less dreadful. Just having mixing bowels and other prep stuff out of the way makes it easier to wash wooden spoons and large items like mixing bowls that doesn't go in the dishwasher reasonable after eating.
