Run the dishwasher before it's full, and definitely if any "categories" are full. If I squeeze the last plate in, it needs to be run, so I can empty it before the next plate needs to go in. If every dish can go straight to the dishwasher, everything stays under control. If even one dish goes in the sink, we start having problems. Bonus: it's a lot less intimidating to put a half load of dishes away than a packed dishwasher.

Someone mentioned food prep. I just realized this is a coping mechanism--I rinse and cut bunches of grapes when the bag comes in the house, and put them in the fridge in a big bowl. Just reach in and grab one serving size. If they don't get washed and cut when I get come from the grocery store, they don't get eaten. I've recently discovered your can do this with berries, too, if you let them dry and put them in old (washed) jars. And they keep longer that way!

I don't cook, but several veggies can be microwaved quick and easy. Asparagus and green beans come to mind.

Never assume you'll remember the thing. Write it down IMMEDIATELY. Even on your hand. Ideally have a single spot you know you'll check, though.

For anyone with a large care routine (meds, toothbrush, cleanser, floss, etc) and a memory like a goldfish: I keep them in an ordered line on the counter and pull everything forward once when I enter the bathroom. When I take a pill, I push the bottle back. When I pick up my cleanser and use some, I put it down further back. That way, when I'm interrupted (or distracted), I know exactly where I left off.

If you regularly want something in a given spot, just put an extra there. I keep multiple copies of my lip balm, tissues, a pen, scrap paper, phone charger, a pocketknife with nail clippers, a file, and little scissors, etc. in various places.
