The place I’m renting doesn’t have a dishwasher (annoyingly common around this area) so I got an over-the-sink dish rack and established the habitat of washing dishes in the morning while I’m waiting for coffee to brew. The over-the-sink rack holds more dishes than an ordinary rack so I can go longer without emptying it. It drips into the sink so there’s no drip tray accumulating mildew (taking apart a regular dish rack to clean the drop tray never happens). I also make sure to organize my cabinets so that dishes all live in the cabinets which are closest to the sink to make putting away dishes easier for me.
I always feel like a rat in a maze when I go to IKEA.
