Agreed, came here to say this. Clean as you cook. Not always super easy or possible, but if you’re waiting for something to finish/warm up/cool down/whatever, you can probably wash a cutting board or some spoons or something
Or do what I do and wash things as you cook only to realize that you’re going to need the thing you washed to finish whatever you’re making. You get to do 3x the cleaning per 1x cooking.
This is easily avoided by doing a tiny bit of thinking with a pinch of foresight.

I am not a smart person.
Yup, this and fill the sink up with hot water feeling all smug to then realise I didn’t rinse the rice.
It’s really just an amortization or, perhaps, an atomization of effort; sadly many don’t really value the benefits of that behavior.
