The way I do it is to look at washing the dishes as being the same as cooking: you can't eat without someone cooking first, so how can you eat without someone doing the dishes afterwards?

Of course, it's easier for me be good about this: I only have one of each kind of dish, at the moment. So I have to wash them after each meal. ;-)

Actually, I've been meaning to put away all the extra dishes. That way we won't be tempted to forego washing them because we HAVE to wash them, otherwise we won't be able to use anything.

That's an interesting phrase, malign: easier to be good. Maybe that's what I need to think about. Find ways to be good/do good more easily.

Or to put it another way, what could make it easier for me to do the right thing, the good thing?:confused:
