To think these domestic things make sense and I’m not being lazy?

I am lazy person, but I still empty the dishwasher every morning so it can be filled throughout the day and cleaned at night (typically goes on once a day but if there is enough room I can maybe stretch to 2 days.) my issue with your method is that I live with a husband, who wouldn't be too pleased at having to work out which plate is clean and which is dirty. Don't you often accidently use dirty stuff? How does this work with cutlery? What if you need to use a more than one big pot for cooking? Does all your dish-ware fit in the dishwasher at once?

Carrots I don't see an issue with.

As for the clothes- my husband also does the same thing as you and it drives me crazy seeing a clothes horse with dry clothes on sitting there for days on end. (I'm not putting them away for him though!) I don't have a spare room for the clothes horse- it's in my kitchen so gets in my way. I put clothes away when they are dry, even though it's my least favourite chore.

I seen a quote once that said "Never put off a task that will take less than 5 minutes."

The dishwasher thing sounded awful until you said it’s just you and your 3 year old. I think with any more people, smelly dirty crockery next to the clean stuff would be a bit too unappetising.

😁😁

I discovered cooking carrots whole keeps all their flavour so I'm with you on that one

I loathe house work and don't do anything unless necessary but come on just empty the bloody dishwasher in the mornings. I love to hear other people's life hacks but these aren't that 😆

I like the idea of "If you want a quick dinner, take time to chop your carrots" as a French saying. I'm imagining them applying this wisdom sagely to every life situation.
Perhaps that's why the guillotine was such an important feature of the French Revolution.

No sorry you’re grim. Wouldn’t want to eat dinner at yours. Grubby dishes and bendy carrots.

I am one of the most slatternly people I know,and the dishwasher is my job, but storing a mix of dirty and clean crockery in it is too far even for me.

I don't intentionally use drying racks as storage but I'm happy to leave dry clothes there indefinitely (until they need to be used by the next lot of laundry), and then I'm happy to put the clothes away. DP and I will often just take what we need as and when in the intervening time.

Snapping carrots doesn't seem to me to save any time versus slicing them but I suppose it depends how you're cooking them. Evenly chopped carrots = evenly cooked carrots.

The dishwasher situ is revolting. I could maybe get my head round stacking dirty dishes on the side until you’ve used everything in the dishwasher but mixing loads is properly disgusting.

it also makes no sense because what if you use the cheese grater one day and the potato masher the next and the frying pan one day and two saucepans the next. Eventually you must get full and have to take some of the repeatedly cleaned things out.

your carrots must be a) horribly old and floppy and b) boiled to oblivion

clothes is weird. Do you literally only have two outfits? Don’t you ever iron? Or enjoy the extra space when the clothes rails are put away?

I have a better system, I get my horse to chomp the top off my carrots. Nice clean bite. Although sometimes she takes too much off the end but I can't expect her to do it for free...

Heavens alive. Won’t someone call social services!

hm.. there are probably many things I don't do because of "what's the point" argument but nothing on your list, I'm afraid. Carrots are notoriously time-consuming to cook. As my French friend used to say "if you want a quick dinner, take time to chop your carrots". I am not sure if this is a French saying but she is not wrong.
I don't have a dishwasher but if I did, I don't think I would take your approach. Seems more time-consuming to me.
And I don't like visual clutter so clothes are being put away, albeit it may take me some time to "build up" to it. Not my favourite job.
Things I do do, which I am sure many will find equally horrifying - I get out a knife in the morning to do my breakfast and this knife lives on my chopping board and is being used throughout the day for all other cooking without washing.
I don't rinse my tea cups. I use the same cup for the whole day and then wash it up the following morning and start again.
I don't iron my bedsheets.
I don't flush the toilet at night (if it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown - flush it down). This is mostly because of sensory issues.
I think this is probably as far as my horrifying habits go.

There you go. You live alone with a very young child. Do whatever works for you.

I love the faux moral outrage of ‘OMG I can’t begin to imagine how you clean your loo’

tell us, OP, are you a proper parent or one of those make do sorts whose children don’t come home to a freshly baked cake every Friday 😂

I do this with my sports clothes as there's always some just dried and I need them daily/every second day so I just grab them from the clothes horse.

Foe the rest tho I don't think you're actually saving yourself anytime or energy. DW is done in the time of a song on the radio. I wouldn't like say a cup that had beaten egg in it even in the dw with clean plates, even if not touching, and I am far far from particularly house proud. The veg thing is saving you nothing but adding to your energy bill.

To answer your is it unusual question, I would say yes, very.

Leaving pegs on the washing line saves a lot of time, but I think they wear out more quickly.

Tbh it just makes you sound a bit like a lazy slob who's trying to justify their laziness.

Also, using the dishwasher every day? So unnecessary. You wouldn't have to use it every day if you were less lazy...

but you’re still chopping them on your plate later so you’ve saved no time at all? Why not chop them beforehand and they will cook quicker? This is weird 🤣

It's called having standards!

You could apply your logic to anything if your standards can go that low.

Don't flush the toilet, do it once at the end of the day. I mean, really?

Be careful not to keep sliding into living with little care.

I reckon it takes longer than a few minutes. I really can't see the part that 'makes sense'. It takes you longer to cook them, uses more energy and you still chop them to eat them.

I’m scared to ask how you clean the toilet…

Op I hear ya, For smaller households with fewer pots and pans, and clothes, plus limited time and storage space in particular, the dishwasher and dryer thing totally makes sense. It’s what we do as well. Why make work for yourself? Nothing wrong with minimal veg prep. If it works for you it works for you, go for it.

This has got to be a reverse ......
