Tip #27: Empty the drying rack before doing the dishes

If you add wet dishes to the drying rack and end up filling it up, you'll have gotten the ones that were already dry wet again and may have trouble telling them apart. Just empty it first.

I have the sincerest intentions of doing this... I really do.

Sigh.

I have a suggestion about that, but I'll save it for a future post because it's the single most useful idea I've ever had. Suspense!

I also empty the drying rack prior to emptying out the dishwasher in case a few things are still wet.

Add to that: empty the dishwasher right away when it's clean, and put your dirty dish(es) in the dishwasher as you use them. My ex used to pile them up on the counter and sink until he ran out of dishes, and then it was a huge time-consuming (and gross) chore to empty the clean dishes and move all of the dirty dishes into the machine.

Piling dirty dishes on the counter is dreadful.

This one applies big time here: http://succeedateverything.blogspot.com/2010/07/tip-29-youre-not-going-to-want-to-do-it.html
