But when they're all piled up into a mountain, then it's an even bigger drag to get over. If the dish pile is small or manageable enough, I do it. To me, I feel that it's better to do constant small piles every other free chance I get than one grueling big one.

It takes "I need to clean this huge mess in the living room" and turns it into "I need to clear the coffee table".
